selected. Click the Configure button to enter the Port Configuration page (shown below) for the

selected port (e.g. port3):

The following parameters will be provided and configured in the Port Configuration page:

Ø Tx – Enable one way only (forwarding) traffic for the port

Ø Rx – Enable one way only (receiving) traffic for the port

Ø Disable – Block all traffic for the port

n Auto-Nego. – Auto negotiation option for fibre media only. This option can be changed only

for port 7 and port 8. (Port 7 and port 8 are capable of using either copper or fibre media.)

Ø Enable – Use auto negotiation mode to setup the link with the connecting device

Ø Disable – Force the mode (1000Base-X, full duplex) used in establishing link with the
