ports in this switch. When any one of the ports in the switch changes its parameter displayed in the page, it will
be automatically refreshed the port current status about every 5 seconds.
Parameter description:
y
Port No
:
Display the port number. The number is 1 – 26. Both port 25 and 26 are optional modules.
y
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.
y
Link
:
Show that if the link on the port is active or not. If the link is connected to a working-well device, the
Link will show the link “Up”; otherwise, it will show “Down”. This is determined by the hardware on both
devices of the connection.
No default value.
y
State
:
Show that the communication function of the port is “Enabled” or “Disabled”. When it is enabled, traffic
can be transmitted and received via this port. When it is disabled, no traffic can be transferred through
this port. Port State is configured by user.
Default: Enabled.
y
Auto Negotiation
:
Show the exchange mode of Ethernet MAC. There are two modes supported in the switch. They are
auto-negotiation mode “Enabled” and forced mode “Disabled”. When in “Enabled” mode, this function
will automatically negotiate by hardware itself and exchange each other the capability of speed and
duplex mode with other site which is linked, and comes out the best communication way. When in
“Disabled” mode, both parties must have the same setting of speed and duplex, otherwise, both of
them will not be linked. In this case, the link result is “Down”.
Default: Enabled
y
Speed / Duplex
:
Display the speed and duplex of all port. There are three speeds 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps
supported for TP media, and the duplex supported is half duplex and full duplex. If the media is 1Gbps
fiber, it is 1000Mbps supported only. The status of speed/duplex mode is determined by 1) the
negotiation of both local port and link partner in “Auto Speed” mode or 2) user setting in “Force” mode.
