In normal operation, a port (25 or 26) with an FE-100TX auto-negotiates

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:

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.
4. Use the RIGHT-ARROW key to move across to the
Enabled/Disabled field to the right of the selection.
5. Use the SPACE bar to select Enabled or Disabled. Press ENTER.
Continue this process until you have completed enabling or disabling
the advertised modes.
6. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER.
The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management saves
