With LAN Port highlighted, tap the desired speed and duplex method. Applicable values include:
6.
Auto (Default):
–
Auto-negotiation is when two connected devices choose common transmission parameters. In the
auto-negotiation process, the connected devices share their speed and duplex capabilities and con-
nect at the highest common denominator (the highest speed being 1000Mbps and highest duplex
being full). Auto-negotiation can be used by devices that are capable of different transmission rates,
different duplex modes, and/or different standards at the same speed. You can set the ports on the
IP phone to auto-negotiate during transmission.
Half 10Mbps or Half 100Mbps:
–
Half-duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both directions on a signal car-
rier, but not at the same time. For example, on a LAN using a technology that has half-duplex trans-
mission, one device can send data on the line and then immediately receive data on the line from
the same direction in which data was just transmitted. Half-duplex transmission implies a bidirec-
tional line (one that can carry data in both directions). On the IP phone, you can set the half-duplex
transmission to transmit in 10Mbps or in 100Mbps.
Tap PC Port located in the left column.
7.
With PC Port highlighted, tap the desired speed and duplex method. The PC port shares the same
8.
applicable values as the LAN port above (Auto, Half 10Mbps, and Half 100Mbps).
Tap Port Mirroring located in the left column.
9.
With Port Mirroring highlighted, tap Enable or Disable (default) to enable or disable port mirroring.
10.
Port mirroring allows you to mirror the LAN and PC ports to and from the phone for debugging
purposes.
Do not use the Test Modes option. This functionality is for testing the Ethernet connectivity of the
11.
phone and if selected, sets the phone to non-working state. If you accidentally enable the Test Modes
option, you must power cycle the phone to get it back to work.
Tap the Save softkey to save your changes.
