Ethernet Interface Configuration
6H122-16 User’s Guide 5-67
The following section briefly explains each field of the Ethernet Interface
Configuration screen:
Port Num (Read-Only)
Displays the number of the front panel interface.
Port Type (Read-Only)
Displays the name of the interface installed in ports 1 through 16. All
ports are identified as FE-100TX.
Link Status (Read-Only)
Indicates whether or not there is a physical connection from a particular
port to another 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 100BASE-TXFD 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, or 100BASE-TXFD 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
connection negotiated, 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, ports 15 and 16 only).
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, ports 15 and 16 only). 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. For details on how to set the
Operational Mode, refer to Section 5.19.2.
NOTE
In normal operation, ports 1 through 16 automatically establish
a link with the device at the other end of the segment without
requiring user setup. However, Local Management provides the
user with the option of manually configuring that port.
