Link Status (Read-Only)
Indicates whether or not there is a physical connection from a particular
port to another 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX/FX, or
100BASE-TXFD/FXFD device. One of the following values is displayed:
Link There is a link signal present and a valid physical connection
to another 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX/FX, or 100BASE-TXFD/FXFD
device.
No Link There is no link signal present and there is no valid physical
connection to another device.
Current Oper. Mode (Read-only)
This field displays the current operating mode of a port. Depending on the
interface installed (100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX), this field displays
the following:
100BASE-TX interface Auto-Neg, Unknown (if there is no Link),
10BASE-T, 10BASE-TFD (full duplex), 100BASE-TX, or
100BASE-TXFD (full duplex).
100BASE-FX interface – Unknown (if there is no Link),
100BASE-FX or 100BASE-FXFD (full duplex).
Desired Oper. Mode (Selectable)
This field allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an
interface.
FE-100TX Interface – The field steps between Auto-Neg, 10BASE-T,
10BASE-TFD (full duplex), 100BASE-TX, and 100BASE-TXFD
(full duplex). In normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX
interface is capable of auto-negotiating the operational mode and no
further user setup is required. Section 5.19.1 describes how to
configure an FE-100TX.
FE-100FX/F3 Interface – The field toggles between 100BASE-FX or
100BASE-FXFD (full duplex) operation. Section 5.19.4 describes
how to configure a port with an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 interface.
