Ethernet Ports

The Mitel MiVoice 6900 Series IP phones have two built-in 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports (one LAN and one
PC) located on the back of the phone.
The Ethernet Ports sub-menu allows you to change the speed and duplex method of the IP phone's LAN
and PC ports as well as enable or disable port mirroring.

and press Enter. Use the up and down navigation key to select the desired speed and duplex method
and press the right navigation key to Save the selection. Applicable values include:
Auto (Default):
–
Auto-negotiation is when two connected devices choose common transmission parameters. In the
auto-negotiation process, the connected devices share their speed and duplex capabilities and con-
nect at the highest common denominator (the highest speed being 1000Mbps and highest duplex
being full). Auto-negotiation can be used by devices that are capable of different transmission rates,
different duplex modes, and/or different standards at the same speed. You can set the ports on the
IP phone to auto-negotiate during transmission.
Half 10Mbps or Half 100Mbps:
–
Half-duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both directions on a signal car-
rier, but not at the same time. For example, on a LAN using a technology that has half-duplex trans-
mission, one device can send data on the line and then immediately receive data on the line from
the same direction in which data was just transmitted. Half-duplex transmission implies a bidirec-
tional line (one that can carry data in both directions). On the IP phone, you can set the half-duplex
transmission to transmit in 10Mbps or in 100Mbps.
Press the left navigation key to navigate back to the LAN Port options column and then press the
