Port
Management
6.1
Port
Configuration
Port
Configuration
page
is
used
to
set
up
the
port
parameters
as
shown
follows.
State
:
If
set
as
“Enabled”,
the
corresponding
port
will
allow
the
Ethernet
packets
to
pass
normally.
If
set
as
“Disabled”,
any
Ethernet
packet
cannot
pass.
Negotiation
:
The
function
provides
a
mechanism
for
exchanging
configuration
information
between
two
ends
of
a
link
segment,
and
automatically
selecting
the
highest
performance
mode
of
operation
supported
by
both
devices
if
it
is
enabled.
Speed&Duplex
:
Speed
:
Allows
the
user
to
choose
100Mbps
or
10Mbps
mode.
Duplex
:
Allows
the
user
to
choose
between
full
and
half
duplex
mode.
Note:
The
speed
and
duplex
of
the
WAN
port
is
fixed
to
be
1000M
Full.
Flow
Control
:
Flow
control
can
eliminate
frame
loss
by
“blocking”
traffic
from
end
station
or
segment
connected
directly
to
AE200
when
it
buffers
fully.
When
it
is
enabled,
back
pressure
is
used
for
half
‐
duplex
operation
and
IEEE
802.3x
for
full
‐
duplex
operation.
(Avoid
using
flow
control
on
a
port
connected
to
a
hub
unless
it
is
actually
required
to
solve
a
problem.
Otherwise
back
pressure
jamming
signals
may
degrade
the
overall
performance
of
the
segment
attached
to
the
hub.)
The
parameter
allows
flow
control
to
be
enabled
or
disabled.
Learning
:
To
enable
or
disable
the
function
of
learning
MAC
address
on
the
port.
MDI/MDIX
:
Select
the
type
of
cables:
MDI,
MDIX
or
Auto.
