Enabling auto-negotiation on a port allows a port to sense the communication speed and negotiate
the duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) automatically. The ports will select the highest
possible throughput. The port can auto-negotiate with any port that is compliant with IEEE 802.3u.
If the other port is not IEEE802.3u compliant, the port will default to half-duplex, 10 Mbps mode.
You can operate the communication speed and duplex mode manually.
Flow Control . Allows you to enable or disable Flow Control.
Flow control is a protocol that prevents packets from being dropped by reducing the amount of
traffic to a level that can be accommodated. If enabled on both ends of a connection, it will
prevent the sender from sending data until the receiver can accept it. This switch complies with
the IEEE802.3x flow control standard.

If you want to use a GBIC, the settings on this page must be set accordingly. The switch
auto-detects if the media is copper or GBIC. This Auto-detect feature is enabled by default.
