Table 4-9. Port Configuration menu options.
Parameter Description
Port Status
Report the latest updated status of all switch ports. When any one of
the ports in the switch changes its parameter displayed in the page,
the port status will automatically refresh about every 5 seconds.
Port No.
Display the port number. The number is 1–26. Ports 25, 26 are
optional modules.
Media
Show the media type adopted in all ports. The Port 25 and Port 26
are optional modules, which support either fiber or UTP media with
either Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) or 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet
port. They may have different media types and speed. Especially,
fiber port has comprehensive types of connector, distance, fiber
mode and so on. The switch describes the module ports with the
following page.
Link
Shows if the link on the port is active or not. If the link is connected to
a device that is working properly, the Link will show the link Up;
otherwise, it will show Down. Both connected devices determine the
link value.
No default value.
State
Shows that the port’s communication function is Enabled or
Disabled. When it’s enabled, traffic can be transmitted and received
via this port. When it’s disabled, no traffic can be transferred through
this port. The Port State is configured by the user.
Default: Enabled.
Auto Negotiation
Shows the Ethernet MAC’s exchange mode. The switch supports
two modes: auto-negotiation mode Enabled and forced mode
Disabled. When in Enabled mode, this switch automatically
negotiates the best speed and duplex values at both ends of the
connection. When in Disabled mode, both parties must have the
same speed and duplex settings; otherwise, they won’t be linked. In
this case, the link result is Down.
Default: Enabled
