ViewStation FX/VS4000 User Guide

On the Advanced LAN Settings screen, you can select a LAN port
and a LAN speed as described below:
Before you select a LAN speed and duplex mode, find out from your
network administrator what speed and duplex mode are supported
by the switch to which the ViewStation FX or VS4000 is connected.
Select LAN Port—The ViewStation supports a LAN port and a
PC port:
• The LAN Port option represents the LAN port on the back
of your ViewStation or VS4000. This port is used to directly
connect the ViewStation or VS4000 to your LAN network.
• The other port, the PC Port, can be used to connect a device
to the LAN network through the ViewStation FX or VS4000
(which, in this case, acts as a hub), or to directly connect a
device such as a PC to a ViewStation FX not on the LAN
network.
LAN Speed—This option can be set to Auto, 10 MBps, or 100
MBps (megabits per second).
• Auto: When this option is selected, the network switch to
which the ViewStation FX or VS4000 is connected
automatically negotiates the LAN speed and duplex mode.
• 10 MBps or 100 MBps: When one of these LAN speeds is
selected, a duplex mode must be selected (see Duplex
Mode below).
Duplex Mode—This option can be set to Auto, Full, or Half.
• Auto: When this option is selected, the network switch to
which the ViewStation FX or VS4000 is connected
automatically negotiates the duplex mode.
• Full: This duplex mode allows for bi-directional,
simultaneous, two-way communications.
• Half: This duplex mode allows for bi-directional data
transmission, but not at the same time.
