Chapter 1: Changes to Local Management Screens
1-22 Local Management Supplement
The following briefly explains each field of the High Speed Interface
Configuration screen.
Port Type (Read-only)
Displays the type of interface (FE-100FX, FE-100TX, FE-100F3,
FE-100LH, or Unknown) installed. Figure 1-10 shows that there is an
FE-100TX interface installed in one optional port slot and no interface
indicated by Unknown in another optional port slot. This example does
not apply to all devices because the number of ports vary, depending on
the SmartSwitch model.
Link Status (Read-only)
Indicates whether or not there is a physical connection from this port to
another 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX/FX device. One of the following
values displays:
• Link – There is a link signal present and a valid physical connection
to another device.
• No Link – There is no link signal present and no valid physical
connection to another device.
Current Oper. Mode (Read-only)
This field displays the current operating mode of interfaces installed in
the optional port slot(s). Depending on whether a 100BASE-FX, or
100BASE-TX is installed, this field displays the following:
• With a 100BASE-FX interface: 100Base-FX, 100Base-FXFD (full
duplex), or N/A when port is empty.
• With a 100BASE-TX interface: Unknown, 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD
(full duplex), 100Base-TX, 100Base-TXFD (full duplex) or N/A when
port is empty.
Desired Oper. Mode (Selectable)
This field allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an
interface in one of the optional port slots. The field toggles between
100BASE-FX and 100BASE-FXFD (full duplex) when an FE-100FX or
FE-100F3 is installed. Section 1.9.1 describes how to configure a port
with an FE-100FX or FE-100F3.
