bers 10 and 11, respectively.

Type c to toggle the port’s connection to
enabled or disabled, as desired.

the same time. You can set every port on the IntraSwitch
5308FL for full duplex operation.

port and be configured for full duplex operation.

Configuration Menu.

duplex mode by typing l and entering the
