CONFIGURING LAN AND PC PORT NEGOTIATION
Ethernet is the computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). You use the
LAN Port to connect to a LAN using a twisted pair 10BASE-T cable to transmit 10BASE-T
Ethernet. You use the PC Port to connect to the configuration server (your PC).
There are two Ethernet ports on the rear of the IP phones: LAN Port and PC Port. Using the
Mitel Web UI, you can select the type of transmission you want these ports to use to
communicate over the LAN. The IP phones support each of the following methods of
transmission:
• Auto-negotiation
• Half-duplex (10Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000Mbps [if applicable])
• Full-duplex (10Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000Mbps [if applicable])
Auto-negotiation
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 connect at the highest common denominator (HCD). Auto-negotiation can be used by
devices that are capable of different transmission rates (such as 10Mbit/sec and 100Mbit/sec
for the 6863i and 1000Mbit/sec for the 6865i, 6867i, 6869i, and 6873i), different duplex modes
