4 Configuration
System > Port Configuration > Port Settings
In the Port Settings page, the status of all ports can be monitored and adjusted for optimum configuration.
From Port / To Port: Select the appropriate port range to be configured.
State: Enable or disable the physical port.
Auto Downgrade: To enable or disable automatically downgrading the advertised speed in case a link
cannot be established at the available speed.
Flow Control: Select On or Off. Ports configured for full-duplex use 802.3x flow control, half-duplex ports
use back-pressure flow control, and Auto ports use an automatic selection of the two.
Duplex: Select the duplex mode used. Options to choose from are Auto and Full.
Speed: Select the speed for the ports. The speed values are Auto, 100M, 1000M, 1000M Master, 1000M
Slave, and 10G. The Switch allows you to configure two types of Gigabit connections; 1000M Master and
1000M Slave which refer to connections running a 1000BASE-T cable for connection between the Switch
port and another device capable of a Gigabit connection. The master setting (1000M Master) will allow the
port to advertise capabilities related to duplex, speed and physical layer type. The master setting will also
determine the master and slave relationship between the two connected physical layers. This relationship is
necessary for establishing the timing control between the two physical layers. The timing control is set on a
master physical layer by a local source. The slave setting (1000M Slave) uses loop timing, where the timing
comes from a data stream received from the master. If one connection is set for 1000M Master, the other
side of the connection must be set for 1000M Slave. Any other configuration will result in a link down status
for both ports.
Capability Advertised: When the Speed is set to Auto, these capabilities are advertised during auto-
negotiation.
Description: Enter a 64 characters description for the corresponding port.
Click Apply button to save your settings.
Click the Refresh button to refresh the display table.
