Ether Switch Port Control Menu By default, your Gateway are enabled and configured to auto-negotiate speed and duplex
on its four LAN ports. If these settings prevent the Gateway from successfully connecting
with other devices, you can use the Ether Switch Port Control menu to configure the
Gateway to use specific speed and duplex settings. The Ether Switch Port Control menu

configured independently of the other LAN ports on the Gateway.

Ether Switch Control submenu in the menu bar. Figure 17 shows an example of the menu.
