5.15.1 Configuring an FE-100FX or FE-100F3
in Port 25 or 26
When an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 is installed in port 25 or 26, it must be
manually set to operate in the same technology as the device at the other
end of the connected segment. Section 5.15.2 provides instructions for
manually configuring the port with an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 interface.
5.15.2 Setting the FE-100FX or FE-100F3
Operational Mode
Use this field to set the active technology. This field toggles between
100Base-FX and 100Base-FXFD (full duplex). To set the active
technology through Local Management, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Operational Mode field.
2. Use the SPACE bar to select 100Base-FX or 100Base-FXFD (full
duplex).
3. Press ENTER. The port now operates in the chosen mode.

The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management saves
the changes to memory.
5.15.3 Configuring an FE-100TX in Port 25 or 26
In normal operation, a port (25 or 26) with an FE-100TX interface
automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end of the
segment and no user setup is required. Section 5.15.4 and Section 5.15.5
provide instructions for manually configuring the port with an FE-100TX
installed.
5.15.4 Setting the FE-100TX Operational Mode
Use this field to set the active technology. This field steps between
Auto-Negotiation, 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX,
and 100Base-TXFD (full duplex). If Auto-Negotiation is selected, the
FE-100TX automatically sets the active technology. To manually set the
active technology through Local Management, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Oper. Mode field.
