P841C Central-Side VDSL Modem

Troubleshooting

6-3

Table 6-6 Troubleshooting Connecting to an Ethernet Switch

STEPS CORRECTIVE

ACTION

Speed: Auto

Duplex: Auto

Flow control: On for full duplex and off for half-duplex

If the P841C’s auto-negotiation is turned off, an Ethernet port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex
mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the switch Ethernet
port are in the same order to connect.
