Configuring Duplex Mode for the AN100U/UX

Use the following procedure to set the speed and duplex mode for the sector controller.

Step 1

Login to the Web client as outlined in “Connecting to the Sector Controller Web Client” on
page 2-4.

Step 2

From the Main menu select Interface Configuration > Ethernet.

The Ethernet Interface page is displayed. You can review this page to view the
configuration of the device’s Ethernet interface.

Step 3

Check the value of Management. If this parameter is set to Via Mgt port, then device
management will be done out of band via the management port. If this parameter is set to
Via Data port, then management will be done inline via the data port

Step 4

Check the value of the Mgt Port Setting parameter and set this to the required speed and
duplex mode for the sector controller management port

.

Step 5

Click Save to make your changes and return to the main menu.

SUO CLI

Step 1

Login to the CLI as outlined in “Connecting to the Subscriber Unit Command Line
Interface” on page 2-6.

Step 2

Enter the set command:

set

Step 3

Set the options for speed and duplex mode. Use the following command to enable
auto-negotiation:

set ethernet AutoNegEnabled 1

Step 4

If you do not want to use auto-negotiation, then enter the required speed and duplex mode.
See Table 5-3 for details of the available options.
