6.14.2 Setting the FE-100FX 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.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER.
The message “SAVED OK” appears and Local Management saves the
changes to memory.
6.14.3 Configuring an FE-100TX in Port 15 or 16
In normal operation, a port (15 or 16) 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 6.14.4 and Section 6.14.5
provide instructions for manually configuring the port with an FE-100TX
installed.
6.14.4 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 Operational Mode field.
2. Use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode. Press ENTER. If any
mode other than Auto-Negotiation is selected, the port only operates
in the chosen mode and auto-negotiation is disabled.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER.
The message “SAVED OK” appears and Local Management saves the
changes to memory. The selected mode is displayed in both the
Desired Operational Mode field and the Current Operational Mode
field.
