switch is on, the settings will be saved. However, if the switch is powered down, the settings will be lost. When
you logout of the management menu, you will be prompted to save your settings. Settings can be saved from
the
Switch Management
menu in case you don’t want to wait until you log out.
Note:
If 100Base-FX ports are installed, the operation speed must be set to 100Mbps and the operation mode
must be set to full duplex. The 100Base-FX ports will not work if they are set to 10Mbps, half duplex or Auto. If
you have installed an uplink in your 2600M switch (port 25 and/or port 26), make sure the LAN port is configured
to reflect the type of installed uplink. For example, if you installed a 2600-1GigSX (fiber Gigabit port), make sure
the port is configured for 1000Mbps with full duplex.
The
Physical Address
on the
LAN Port Configuration
menu displays the MAC address of the switch for
