– 10M – Indicates the port is currently operating at 10 Mbps.
– 100M – Indicates the port is currently operating at 100 Mbps.
– 1000M – Indicates the port is currently operating at 1000 Mbps.
• Duplex Mode – Select the port duplex mode. This field is configurable only when auto
negotiation is disabled and the port speed is set to 10M or 100M. The possible field values
are:
– Half – Indicates the interface supports transmission between the device and the client
in only one direction at a time.
– Full – Indicates the interface supports transmission between the device and its link
partner in both directions simultaneously.
– Auto – Indicates the interface supports transmission between the device and the link
partner based on the transmission mode of the link partner.
• Auto Negotiation – Select the port auto negotiation status. Auto negotiation is a protocol

mode, and flow control abilities to its partner. The possible field values are:
– Enable – Enables auto negotiation. This is the default value.
– Disable – Disables auto negotiation.
• Back Pressure – Select the back pressure mode of the Port. Back Pressure mode is used

disabled by default. The possible field values are:
– Enable – Enables back pressure mode.
– Disable – Disables back pressure mode.
• Flow Control – Select the flow control status of the port. Operates when the port is in full
duplex mode. Flow control is disabled by default. The possible field values are:
– Enable – Enables flow control.
– Disable – Disables Flow control.

connected to an end station, a straight through Ethernet cable can be used and the pairs
will match up properly. When two hubs or switches are connected to each other or two end
stations are connected to each other, a crossover cable is used to ensure that the correct
pairs are connected. The possible field values are:
