Link Status (Read-only)
Indicates whether or not there is a physical connection from a particular
port to another 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX/FX, or
100BASE-TXFD/FXFD device. One of the following values is displayed:
• Link – There is a link signal present and a valid physical connection to
another 10Base-T, 100Base-TX/FX, or 100Base-TXFD/FXFD device.
• No Link – There is no link signal present and there is no valid physical
connection to another device.
Current Oper. Mode (Read-only)
This field displays the current operating mode of a port. Depending on the
interface installed (100BASE-FX, 100BASE-F3, or 100BASE-TX), this
field displays the following:
• 100Base-TX interface – Auto-Neg, Unknown (if there is no link),
10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX, or
100Base-TXFD (full duplex).
• 100Base-FX (multimode) or 100Base-F3 (single mode) interface –
Unknown (if there is no link), 100Base-FX or 100Base-FXFD (full
duplex).
Desired Oper. Mode (Selectable)
This field allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an
interface.
• FE-100TX Interface – The field toggles between Auto-Neg, 10Base-T,
10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX, and 100Base-TXFD (full
duplex). In normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX interface is
capable of auto-negotiating the operational mode and no further user
setup is required. See
• FE-100FX/F3 Interface – The field toggles between 100Base-FX or
100Base-FXFD (full duplex) operation.
to configure a port with an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 interface.
In normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX installed

automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end
of the segment without requiring user setup. However, Local
Management provides the user with the option of manually
configuring that port.
