5: Configuration via Serial Mode or Telnet Port
MatchPort b/g™ User Guide 59
Ethernet Connection Type
The MatchPort allows you to configure the Ethernet speed manually. Enter 0 for
automatic negotiation (default). To select the speed and duplex, enter one of the
following: 2 (10Mbit/half duplex), 3 (10Mbit/full duplex), 4 (100Mbit/half duplex), or 5
(100Mbit/full duplex).
Note: Manually configured speed/duplex settings only work correctly if the peer or
switch also uses a static setting. If the peer is set for auto negotiation, it will not
necessarily result in the correct mode. This is a common Ethernet problem and is not
MatchPort-specific.

the serial setup, to prevent eavesdropping.

setup, port 77FE, and the web setup features.
