Note that 200 Mbps also represents the backplane capacity maximum for an INU/INUe configured for an
Nx2 Mbps or Nx1.5 Mbps backplane. Similarly, 300 Mbps represents the backplane maximum for an
Nx150 Mbps backplane setting.

Customer selection is provided for the following port parameters:
Enabled
A port must be enabled to allow traffic flow.
Name
A port name or other relevant port data can be entered.
Connection Type and Speed
Provides selection per-port of auto or manual settings for half or full duplex
operation. In auto, the DAC GE self-sets these options based on the traffic type
detected.
Interface Cable Type
Provides selection per port of auto or manual settings for the interface cable type;
Mdi or MdiX (straight or cross-over cable respectively).
Priority
Provides a four-level, low, medium-low, medium-high or high priority setting for
each port. This prioritization only has relevance to ports using a shared channel.
Priorities are strict, for example when traffic is congested all high priority traffic
is sent before the next, medium-high priority setting.
Port Up
Indicates that valid Ethernet framing has been detected. Unconnected ports or
ports with invalid framing are red-flagged.
Resolved
Indicates the DAC GE has determined the presence of valid Ethernet data from
the locally connected equipment, and where Auto has been selected, for
Duplex-Speed and/or Mdi/MdiX. With Auto selected a port is not
traffic-accepting until resolved.
