4-4 HSIM-G01/G09 User’s Guide
Current Oper. Mode (Read-Only)
Displays the current operating mode of the port. Regardless of whether an
HSIM-G01 or HSIM-G09 is installed, this field displays 1000Base-XFD.
Desired Oper. Mode (Toggle)
Allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an HSIM-G
interface. The field toggles between Auto-Negotiation and
1000Base-XFD. Section 4.2.1 describes how to configure a port with an
HSIM-G01 or HSIM-G09 interface.
With either the HSIM-G01 or the HSIM-G09 installed, the field toggles
between Auto-Negotiation and 1000Base-XFD. In normal operation with
an 802.3z compliant device at the other end of the link, the port installed
is capable of auto-negotiating the operational mode and no further user
setup is required. For devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation,
1000Base-XFD should be selected. The link partners must match on both
sides of the link. Section 4.2.1 describes how to manually configure the
HSIM-G.
Advertised Ability (Read-Only)
Displays the current advertised ability, which is 1000Base-XFD.
4.2.1 Configuring the HSIM-G Port
In normal operation, an HSIM-G port automatically establishes a link
when set to Auto-Negotiation (with an 802.3z compliant device at the
other end of the segment) and no further user setup is required. To set the
operation of the HSIM-G to auto-negotiate, refer to Section 4.2.1.1.
Section 4.2.1.1 and Section 4.2.1.2 provide instructions for manually
configuring the port, normally done when there is a non-compliant device
at the other end of the segment.
NOTE
In normal operation, the installed port automatically establishes
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 the port.
