Port Control
In Port Control you can configure the parameters of the connection for each port.

Port: Scroll up/down the scroll bar and click on the port number to choose a
particular port to be configured.

State: Enable/disable the port. If the port state is set on ‘Disable’, the port will not be
able to receive or transmit any packet.

Negotiation: Options include Auto and Force. With this parameter set on Auto , the
speed and duplex fields display in grey, which means the port are negotiated
automatically. When you set it on Force , you have to set the speed and duplex mode
manually by clicking the pull-down menus of the Speed and Duplex fields.

Speed: It is available for selecting when the Negotiation field is set on Force. When
the Negotiation field is set on Auto, this field becomes a read-only field displaying in
grey.

Duplex: It is available for selecting when the Negotiation field is set on Force. When
the Negotiation field is set on Auto, this field becomes a read-only field displaying in
grey.

Flow Control: Whether the receiving node sends feedback to the sending node is
determined by this item. With this item enabled, if the input data rate of the receiving
device exceeds, the receiving device will send a PAUSE frame which halts the
transmission of the sender for a specified period of time. With this item disabled, the
receiving device will drop the packets it is unable to process.

Security: When the Security selection is set as ‘ On ’, any access from the device
which connects to this port will be blocked unless the MAC address of the device is
included in the static MAC address table.

Click Apply to have the configuration take effect.
