Signamax 065-7840 24-Port 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Managed Switch
41
Function name:
Port Status
Function Description:
Reports the latest updated status of all ports in this switch. When any one of
the ports in the switch changes its parameter as displayed in the page, the
port current status will be automatically refreshed about every 5 seconds.
Parameter Description:
Port No:
Displays the port number. The number is 1 – 24. Both port 23 and 24 can
be equipped with optional SFP modules.
Media:
Shows the media type used in all ports. Port 23 and Port 24 are equipped
to utilize optional SFP modules, allowing these two ports to support either
fiber or UTP media with either Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) or
10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet port. These two ports may have different
media types and speeds. The fiber port supports different types of
connectors, distances, fiber modes, etc. The switch describes the module
ports, as shown on the following pages.
Link:
Indicates if the link on the port is active or not. If the link is connected to
a properly-working device, the Link status will show the link “Up”;
otherwise, it will show “Down”. This is determined by the hardware
devices on both ends of the connection.
No default value.
State:
Shows that the communication function of the port is “Enabled” or
“Disabled”. When it is enabled, traffic can be transmitted and received via
this port. When it is disabled, no traffic can be transferred through this
port. The Port State is configured by the user.
Default: Enabled.
Auto Negotiation:
Shows the exchange mode of an Ethernet MAC-addressed device.
There are two modes supported in the switch. They are auto-negotiation
mode “Enabled” and forced mode “Disabled”. When in “Enabled” mode,
this function will automatically negotiate by the hardware of the
connected devices themselves, and exchange with each other the
capability of speed and duplex mode with the other device which is linked,
determining the best communication speed and duplex mode. When in
“Disabled” mode, both device must have the same setting of speed and
duplex mode; otherwise, they will not be linked. In this case, the link
result is “Down”.
Default: Enabled
