Choose an object of MDIX (Medium Dependent
Interface Crossover). The options available are as
follows.
• Auto - This value automatically senses an optimum
type of cables.
• Normal - Choose this for normal cables. Selecting it
makes a port to become the MDIX mode, and that
allows a straight-through cable to connect to a PC
LAN adapter. Or, employ a cross-over cable to
connect it to a port of a different switch (MDI
mode).
• Cross - Choose this for employing a cross-over cable.
Selecting this option allows a port to become the
MDI mode, and that allows a straight-cable to
connect to a port of the different switch (MDIX
mode).
Set the flow control to ON or OFF. On the port where it
is set to full duplex, use the flow control of 802.3x, and
use the one (of two), which is automatically selected on
an Automatic port.
Choose the duplex mode you use. The options available
are Automatic and Full.
Choose the option of a port speed. This option allows
you to implement the forced settings manually for the
connection-speed on the port, which is selected for
connecting with the speed specified. If Master
Configurations are implemented, you can advertise
the functions, which are related to types of duplex
communication, the speed and physical layer, on ports.
Also, this action determines the relationship between a
master and a slave on the joint where two physical
layers exist (or contact each other). The relationship is
necessary for establishing a timing-control between the
two physical layers above. The timing-control is
configured on a physical layer of the master by a local
source. A loop timing is used for the slave settings. In
this case, the timing is obtained from the data stream
received from the master. If one connection is set to the
master, the other connection must be set to the slave. If
other configurations are implemented, the condition of
a "link-down" occurs on both ports.
