Configuring an FE-100TX
In normal operation, an FE-100TX interface automatically establishes a
link with the device at the other end of the segment and no user setup is
required.
Section 1.13.4
and
Section 1.13.5
provide instructions for
manually configuring the port with an FE-100TX installed.
1.13.4
Setting the FE-100TX Operational Mode
Use this field to set the active technology. This field steps between
Auto-Negotiation, 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX,
and 100Base-TXFD (full duplex). If Auto-Negotiation is selected, the
FE-100TX automatically sets the active technology.
To manually set the active technology through Local Management,
proceed as follows:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Oper. Mode field.
2.
Use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode. Press ENTER. If any
mode other than Auto-Negotiation is selected, the port only operates
in the chosen mode and Auto-Negotiation is disabled.
3.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER.
The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management saves
the changes to memory. The selected mode is displayed in both the
Desired Operational Mode field and the Current Operational Mode
field.
1.13.5
Setting the FE-100TX Advertised Ability
In normal operation, an FE-100TX auto-negotiates to the highest speed
possible. Under some circumstances, the Network Administrator may
want the port to advertise only some of the available modes and not
advertise in other modes. This field steps to 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full
duplex), 100Base-TX, and 100Base-TXFD (full duplex). To set the
advertised ability, proceed as follows:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Oper. Mode field.
2.
Use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode.
3.
Use the LEFT-ARROW key to move back to the Advertised Ability
selection and use the SPACE bar to select the next mode to enable or
disable.
