Configuring All
Ports with Auto
or Force MDI/
MDI-X
The ports can be configured for Auto MDI/MDI-X or Force MDI/MDI-X on
all ports together. For more information, see "Force MDI/ MDI-X and Auto
MDI/MDI-X" on page 84.
To change the MDI/MDI-X setting on all ports together, perform the
following procedures:
1. Set DIP switch # 6 (OPERATION/CONFIG) to the UP (CONFIG)
position.
The switch is now in the port configuration mode.
2. Set DIP switch # 7 (ALL/EACH) to the DOWN (ALL) position.
All of the port SPD/LOOP LEDs flash indicating that all of the ports are
ready to be configured. See Figure 53 on page 85.
3. Push the MODE button for more than 1 second to toggle Auto MDI/
MDI-X and Force MDI/MDI-X.
When the FORCE MDI LED is on, Force MDI/MDI-X is on; when the
FORCE MDI LED is off, Auto MDI/MDI-X is on.
Note
The FORCE_MDI / MODE push button is a dual purpose button.
When it is pressed for less than one second, it advances the
configuration port settings for speed and duplex. When it is pressed
for more than one second, the configuration is toggled between
Force MDI/MDI-X and Auto MDI/MDI-X.
4. After changing the setting, set DIP switch # 6 (OPERATION/CONFIG)
to the DOWN (OPERATION) position.
The switch is now in the port operational mode. The new port
configuration is now temporarily stored in flash memory, but is not yet
implemented.
5. Turn the power OFF by unplugging the AC power cord and then back
ON again by reconnecting it to the AC outlet on the switch.
The new port configurations are now implemented and effective.
Note
This new configuration only takes effect after turning the switch OFF
and then back ON.
