Modes of Operation (PCI Version) 

The McPC 10/100 features three modes of operation: 

Auto Negotiation mode (AN)

Force-10 mode

 and 

Force-100 mode

.  Configure the McPC 10/100 for one of these 

modes (factory default is Auto Negotiation mode).  Refer to the Link Fault Detection 
section for information on Link Fault Detection (LFD).

 

 

 

NOTE 

The McPC 10/100 cannot be manually set for Half- or Full-Duplex.  Duplex is 

determined by the devices to which the McPC 10/100 is connected.

 

 

Auto Negotiation mode

 is the mode most ideally suited for the McPC 10/100.  In 

this mode, the converter will optimally and automatically configure for speed (10 or 
100 Mbps) depending on the capabilities of the end stations. 
 
To enable Auto Negotiation mode, set switch

OFF

 position.
