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, Fiber 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 Fiber 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
Fiber port: 100Mbps/Full duplex
Flow Control: Enabled, Disabled
Show each port’s flow control status. There are two types of flow control
in Ethernet, Backpressure for half-duplex operation and Pause flow
control (IEEE802.3x) for full-duplex operation. Signamax 065-1600
series supports both of them. When duplex mode is half duplex, there is
only one status “Enabled” for flow control. When in full duplex, it may be
one of “Enabled”, or “Disabled”. Default: Enabled
Media Type: UTP Cable, Fiber Cable
Only “Fiber Cable” and “UTP Cable” are in this model.
Connector:
Display the connector type, for instance, UTP, SC, ST, LC, and so on.
Fiber Mode:
Display the fiber mode, for instance, Multi-Mode, Single-Mode.
Fiber Cable:
Display the cable type, for instance, Dual Wire, Single Wire.
