Controlling Individual Ports
The Port Configuration Menu, accessible from the Network Monitoring
menu, allows you to view the status of individual ports and to control their
settings. The available settings are:
♦
Port Determines which port is displayed.
♦
Port State This toggle determines whether the port should be enabled
or disabled (manually partitioned). Setting the Port State to Disabled
will isolate the port from the rest of the network.
♦
Port Status Shows whether or not there is a good link to a station
connected to the port.
♦
Auto Negotiation Determines whether or not the NWay automatic
speed detection feature is enabled for the port.
♦
Media Speed (100/10Mbps) Displays the transmission speed of the
selected port, either 100 (Ports 1 through 4, 100BASE-TX) or 10
(Ports 3 through 18, 10BASE-T).
♦
Duplex Mode Shows whether the port is operating in half-duplex or
full-duplex mode.
