Current Oper. Mode (Read-only)
This field displays the current operating mode of ports 5 and 6.
Depending on the interface installed (100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX)
this field displays the following:
• With a 100BASE-FX interface: 100Base-FX or 100Base-FXFD (full
duplex).
• With a 100BASE-TX interface: Unknown, 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD
(full duplex), 100Base-TX, or 100Base-TXFD (full duplex).
Desired Oper. Mode (Toggle)
This field allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an
interface in port 5 or 6. The field toggles between 100BASE-FX and
100BASE-FXFD (full duplex) when an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 is
installed. Section 5.21.1 describes how to configure a port with an
FE-100FX or FE-100F3.
If an FE-100TX is installed, the field steps to Auto-Negotiation,
10BASE-T, 10BASE-TFD (full duplex), 100BASE-TX, and
100BASE-TXFD (full duplex). In normal operation, the port with an
FE-100TX installed is capable of auto-negotiating the operational mode
and no further user setup is required. Section 5.21.3 describes how to
configure an FE-100TX.
NOTE
In normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX installed
automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end
of the segment without requiring user setup. However, Local
Management provides the user with the option of manually
configuring that port.
