6.2 Port Configuration
The Port Configuration menu allows you to view the current status of ports and to
configure the operation of ports.
Auto Mode
Auto mode allows you to select the port forced setting. Port forced setting means that the
port is being forced into a special setting, for example, 10M/Half, instead of auto-
negotiation. Connection to some devices may require this setting.
Auto negotiation mode will set the switch to auto-negotiation when the auto mode port is
enabled or disabled. However, the Auto-MDIX function will also be disabled if the auto-
negotiation function of the port is OFF.
Auto detect mode keeps the auto-negotiation function ON, but modifies its attribute if the
auto mode of the port is disabled. The Auto-MDIX function will be enabled in this mode.
