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 your system 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 system. This port is used to directly connect your
system to your LAN network.
The other port, the PC Port, can be used to connect a device
•
to the LAN network through your system (which, in this
case, acts as a hub), or to directly connect a device such as a
PC to a system 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 system 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 system 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.
