Items in the above window are defined as follows:
Switch Specifies the Switch where the port is being configured.
Module Specifies the module where the port is being configured.
Port Specifies the port that will be configured.
Port Type Specifies the speed and cable type of the selected port.
State Enables or Disables the port. This amounts to turning the port on or off.
Speed/Duplex Selects the desired Speed and Duplex settings for the port. Possibilities include: Auto,
100M/Full, 100M/Half, 10M/Full, or 10M/Half. If a Gigabit module is being used, 1000M/Full will be
displayed in this field. Choosing Auto enables NWay auto-configuration on the port.
Flow Ctrl Toggles flow control On or Off. It is useful during periods of heavy network activity when the
Switch's buffers can receive too much traffic and fill up faster than the Switch can forward the
information. In such cases, the Switch will intervene and tell the transmitting device to pause to allow
the information in the port buffer to be sent. Confirm that Flow Control is in force by checking the
Status field.
Priority Selects Normal, High or Low. The Switch has two packet queues where incoming packets
