The following table shows the appropriate configuration for several common
scenarios. Both link sites must be configured with the same parameter:
Configuring Ethernet Ports Mode
The ODU Ethernet port is configured to auto-detect by default and may not
be changed.
The ODU Ethernet port mode is configurable for line speed (10/100BaseT)
and duplex mode (half or full duplex).
An Auto Detect feature is provided, whereby the line speed and duplex
mode are detected automatically using auto-negotiation. Use manual con-
figuration when attached external equipment does not support auto-negoti-
ation. The default setting is Auto Detect.
To configure the Ethernet Mode:
1. From the Configuration menu, choose the site to reconfigure.
The Site Configuration dialog box opens.
2. Click Advanced | Ethernet.
3. In the Ethernet Ports Configuration pane, use the drop-down menu to
choose the configuration.

You should not reconfigure the port that is used for the managing computer
connection, since a wrong configuration can cause a management
disconnection or Ethernet services interruption.
