Parameter description:
Port:
The TP Port is Signamax 065-1600 series’ Ethernet UTP interface.
The Fiber Port is Signamax 065-1600 series’ Ethernet Fiber interface.
State:
Show if the communication capability of the port is Enabled or Disabled.
When enabled, traffic can be transmitted and received via this port.
When disabled, the port is blocked and no traffic can be transferred
through this port. Port State is configured by the user. Only two states
“Enable” and “Disable” are able to be chosen. If you set a port’s state
“Disable”, then that port is prohibited from passing any traffic, even it
looks Link up. Default is Enable.
Auto Negotiation:
Only “Enable” and “Disable” two states can be chosen. “Enable” means
the port adopted the auto-negotiation algorithm to exchange the
capability with the linked partner. When enabled, the speed, duplex mode
and flow control mode may change. “Disable” means the forced mode is
adopted. When disabled, if you want to set up a connection successfully,
you must have both port configuration of local port and linked partner be
the same. If their configuration is different, the link will not be set up
successfully. In Signamax 065-1600 series, fiber port supports forced
mode only.
