QuickSet Utility: Configuring the CSX500
Refer to the QuickSet QuickStart Guide located inside the QuickSet CD jewel case and follow the QuickSet
procedure to configure the CSX500.
Full or Half Duplex Configuration on the LAN Port
If the version of QuickSet that you are running does not have the button in QuickSet to change the duplex setting,
use the following procedure.
The LAN port on the CSX500 is set to connect using half duplex by default. If a LAN connection is needed for full
duplex, the CSX500 must be configured using Network Tools. Refer to the Cabletron Systems
Local Management
User’s Guide for CSX200, CSX400, CSX400-DC, HSIM-W6, and HSIM-W84
to configure the CSX500 using
Network Tools. Use the following procedure to set the port to full duplex:
1. Use this OID to change the LAN port from the default of half duplex to full duplex:
ctIf Duplex: 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.3.3.2.1.1.5
2. Set the OID string to 3 (full) in order to set the port to full duplex. Set the OID string to 2 (standard) for the port
to be set to half duplex speed.

If the LAN connection required is half duplex, and the port is configured for full duplex, the connection
may appear to work, but problems can occur on the network. To prevent data corruption, change the
connection to the appropriate duplex setting.
If a bootp download is required at full duplex speed, an internal DIP switch must be accessed and
switch 1 of the DIP switch set for the bootp to be successful. Refer to the Cabletron Systems
