Configuring
Individual Ports
with Auto or
Force MDI/
MDI-X
The ports can be individually configured for Auto MDI/MDI-X or Force
MDI/MDI-X. For more information, see "Force MDI/ MDI-X and Auto MDI/
MDI-X" on page 84.
To change the MDI/MDI-X setting on an individual port, 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 UP (EACH) position as show in
Figure 55 on page 87.
The SPD/LOOP LED flashes for Port # 1 indicating that this port is
ready to be configured.
3. Press the NEXT PORT button to select the port you want to configure.
Each time you press the NEXT PORT button, the next port is selected.
When a port is selected, its SDP/LOOP LED flashes indicating that this
port is ready to be configured.
4. 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.
5. Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 if you want to configure other ports.
6. 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.
7. 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.
