Description
Setting Description Factory Default
Media type This displays the media type for each module’s port N/A
Name
Setting Description Factory Default
Max. 63 characters This specifies an alias for the port to help administrators
differentiate between different ports. Example: PLC 1
None
Speed
Setting Description Factory Default
Auto This allows the port to use the IEEE 802.3u protocol to
negotiate with connected devices. The port and connected
devices will determine the best speed for that connection.
100M-Full
100M-Half
10M-Full
10M-Half
Choose one of these fixed speed options if the connected
Ethernet device has trouble auto-negotiating for line speed.
Auto
FDX Flow Ctrl
This setting enables or disables flow control for the port when the port’s Speed is set to Auto. The final result
will be determined by the Auto process between the IKS-6726 and connected devices.
Setting Description Factory Default
Enable This enables flow control for this port when the port’s
Speed is set to Auto.
Disable This disables flow control for this port when the port’s
Speed is set to Auto.
Disable
MDI/MDIX
Setting Description Factory Default
Auto This allows the port to auto-detect the port type of the
connected Ethernet device and change the port type
accordingly.
MDI
MDIX
Choose MDI or MDIX if the connected Ethernet device has
trouble auto-negotiating for port type.
Auto
Network
Network configuration allows users to configure both IPv4 and IPv6 parameters for management access over
the network. The IKS-6726 series supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and can be managed through either of these
address types.
IPv4
The IPv4 settings include the switch’s IP address and subnet mask, as well as the IP address of the default
gateway. In addition, input cells are provided for the IP addresses of a 1st and 2nd DNS server.
IPv6
The IPv6 settings include two distinct address types—Link-Local Unicast addresses and Global Unicast
addresses. A Link-Local address makes the switch accessible over IPv6 for all devices attached to the same
local subnet. To connect to a larger network with multiple segments, the switch must be configured with a
Global Unicast address.
A brief explanation of each configuration item is given below.
