Advertise Ctrl - This is the Selective Advertising feature. Selective Advertising is used
in combination with autonegotiation to advertise your selected speed and duplex
mode for the DATA and EXT MGMT ports. This allows you to advertise: all speeds
and duplex modes; 10 Mbps Half-Duplex; 10 Mbps Full-Duplex; 100 Mbps Half-
Duplex; 100 Mbps Full-Duplex; 10 Mbps Half and Full-Duplex; etc. You must
enable Autonegotiation for Selective Advertising to work.
NOTE
If a specific speed and/or duplex mode are desired, IMC Networks recommends
using Selective Advertising, instead of Force Mode, when connecting to devices
that can only autonegotiate. For the FO uplink versions, the port is always force
flow control 100 FDX and cannot be changed.
Advertise FlowC and Force FlowCtrl—the following are Advertise Control features.
When using Flow Control functionality on any port, you must enable Flow Control
(refer to Unit Flow Control for more information). Next, configure each port
individually:
•
To use Autonegotiation and Flow Control:
Advertise FlowC = Advertise Flow, Force FlowCtrl = Flow Auto
•
To use Autonegotiation but not Flow Control
Advertise FlowC = No Flow
•
To use Flow Control and force the port speed (Port Speed Ctrl)
Advertise FlowC = Advertise Flow, Force FlowCtrl = Frc FlowCt
All RJ-45 ports feature Flow Control in Full-Duplex and Back Pressure Flow control in
Half-Duplex. Back Pressure Flow Control is a hardware based flow control that forces
collisions on the line to limit bandwidth.
Unit FlowControl—allows you to enable or disable Flow Control functionality on the
unit. You must enable this to use Flow Control on any port.
