4.2.1.1 Setting the Operational Mode
Use the Desired Oper. Mode field to set the active technology. This field
steps between Auto-Negotiation and 1000Base-XFD. If
Auto-Negotiation is selected, the HSIM-G automatically sets the active
technology to auto-negotiate with another 802.3z compliant device.
1000Base-XFD must be chosen if the device on the other side of the link
does not support Auto-Negotiation.
To manually set the active technology through Local Management,
proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Oper. Mode field.
2. Use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode. Press ENTER. You
may select Auto-Negotiation or 1000Base-XFD. If 1000Base-XFD is
selected, the port only operates in 1000Base-XFD and
Auto-Negotiation is disabled.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER.
The message “SAVED OK” displays 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.
4.2.1.2 Setting the Advertised Ability
The HSIM-G auto-negotiates using 1000BaseXFD with an 802.3z
compliant device on the other end of the link. Under certain
circumstances (refer to Desired Oper. Mode (Toggle)), the Network
Administrator may not want the port to advertise the available mode. To
set the advertised ability, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Enabled/Disabled field to the
right of the selection.
2. Use the SPACE bar to select Enabled or Disabled. Press ENTER.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER.
The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management saves
the changes to memory.
