See LAN Interface Settings (on page 139) for information in configuring
this section of the Network Settings page.
Note: In some environments, the default LAN Interface Speed & Duplex
setting Autodetect (autonegotiator) does not properly set the network
parameters, which results in network issues. In these instances, setting
the KSX II LAN Interface Speed & Duplex field to 100 Mbps/Full Duplex
(or whatever option is appropriate to your network) addresses the issue.
See the Network Settings (on page 136) page for more information.
