Configuring Ports
All the ports of FSW-0803TX support Auto-Negotiation and the default for
all ports are configured in this mode. In the Auto-Negotiation mode, the
switch learns the setting of the opposite site and configures itself to meet its
counter part.
However, in rare conditions you should configure manually, such as when
the opposite site does not support Auto Negotiate.
To configure a port, first select the port and then select the desired setting.
PORT SETTING>PORT (1~8)>< setting >
When a setting is selected, an asterisk symbol (‘*’) will be added to the first
character of the string. Making it convenient to check what the settings for
these ports are, by just going through the sub menu of PORT SETTING,
without making any confirmation. When you see an item that begins with an
‘*’, the port is set in that mode.
While AUTO-NEGO is set, the speed and duplex selection are no longer
available.
The speed and duplex will be decided by the result of the
negotiation. By contrast, if either the speed or duplex is selected, the AUTO-
NEGO function will not work. It forces the port to run in the mode just set.
All settings will be saved in the EEPROM.
Setting the port speed forces the port to use the selected speed only, if the
device being contacted is set at a different speed, the data will not be sent.
When the setting is Auto Negotiate, the port will negotiate to the fastest
speed available to both ports.
If the port being contacted doesn’t have Auto Negotiate, then this port must
be configured to match the port being contacted.
