24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
70 Using the Console Interface
Items in the above window are defined as follows:
♦ Port Specifies the port (1-22,all) that will be
configured. When all is chosen, the settings you
configure will be applied to all UTP ports.
♦ State Enables or Disables the port. This amounts to
turning the port on or off.
♦ Speed/Duplex Selects the desired Speed and Duplex
fort the port. Possible settings include: Auto,
100M/Full, 100M/Half, 10M/Full, or 10M/Half.
Choosing Auto enables NWay auto-configuration on
the port.
♦ Flow Control Toggles flow control On or Off. Flow
control can only be used with other IEEE 802.3x-
compliant devices and in a full-duplex connection. It
is useful during periods of heavy network activity
when the Switch’s buffers can receive too much
traffic and fill up faster than the Switch can forward
the information. In such cases, the Switch will
intervene and tell the transmitting device to pause
to allow the information in the port buffer to be sent.
When Auto-Negotiation is enabled in the
Speed/Duplex field above, flow control will only be
enabled if the connected device can Auto-negotiate
flow control. Confirm that Flow Control is in force
by checking the Status field.
♦ Priority selects Normal, High or Low. The DES-
3225G has two packet queues where incoming
packets wait to be processed for forwarding; a high
priority and low priority queue. The high priority
queue should only be used for data in which latency
can have adverse affects on the function of an
application, such as video or audio data, where
