Parameter description:
Port:
Display TP / Fiber port. The TP Port is Signamax 065-1600 series’
Ethernet 10/100/1000Mbps UTP interface. The Fiber Port is Signamax
065-1600 series’ Ethernet 1000Mbps Fiber interface.
Link Status: UP, Down
Show if the link on the port is active. If the link is connected to a working
well device, the Link will show the link “Up”, otherwise, “Down”. This is
determined by the negotiation of hardware.
Port State:
Shows if the communication capability of the port is Enabled or Disabled.
When enabled, traffic can be transmitted and received via this port.
When disabled, no traffic can be transferred through this port. Port State
is configured by user. Default is Enabled.
Auto Negotiation:
Show the exchange mode of Ethernet MAC. There are two modes
supported in Signamax 065-1600 series. They are auto-negotiation mode
“Enabled” and forced mode “Disabled”. When in “Enabled” mode, this
function will automatically negotiate by hardware itself and exchange
each other the capability of speed and duplex mode with other site which
is linked, and come out the best communication way. When in “Disabled”
mode, both parties must have the same setting of speed and duplex,
otherwise, both will not be linked. In this case, the link result is “Down”.
Default: TP port is Enabled mode, FX port is Disabled mode.
Speed/Duplex:
Display the speed and duplex of all port. There are two speeds 10Mbps
and 100Mbps supported in Signamax 065-1600 series. The duplex
supported is half duplex and full duplex. The status of speed/duplex
mode is determined by 1) the negotiation of both local port and link
partner in “Enabled” mode or 2) user setting in “Disabled” mode. The
local port has to be preset its capability.
In TP port is supported Fast Ethernet with TP media, so the result will
show 100Mbps/full duplex, 100Mbps/half duplex, 10Mbps/Full duplex
and 10Mbps/half duplex.
In FX port is supported Fast Ethernet with Fiber media, so the result will
show 100Mbps/full duplex or 100Mbps/half duplex.
Default: TP port: None, depends on the result of the negotiation
FX port: 100Mbps/Full duplex
