Port Status

This window is used to view the Switch's physical port status and settings.
To view the following window, click System > Port Configuration > Port Status, as shown below:
Select the appropriate port range used for the configuration here.
Select this option to enable or disable the physical port here.
Select the Medium Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) option
here. Options to choose from are Auto, Normal, and Cross.
Auto - Select this option for auto-sensing of the optimal type of
cabling.
Normal - Select this option for normal cabling. If this option is selected,
the port is in the MDIX mode and can be connected to a PC's NIC
using a straight-through cable or a port (in the MDIX mode) on another
switch through a cross-over cable.
Cross - Select this option for cross cabling. If this option is selected,
the port is in the MDI mode and can be connected to a port (in the
MDIX mode) on another switch through a straight cable.
Select this option to enable or disable automatically downgrading
advertised speed in case a link cannot be established at the available
speed.
Select to either turn flow control On or Off here. 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.
Select the duplex mode used here. Options to choose from are Auto,
Half, and Full.
Select the port speed option here. This option will manually force the
connected on the selected port to only connect at the speed specified
here. Options to choose from are Auto, 10M, 100M, 1000M, 1000M
Master, 1000M Slave, and 10G. The Switch allows users 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.
When the Speed is set to Auto, these capabilities are advertised
during auto-negotiation.
