Configuring Gigabit Port Type
Ports 25 and 26 can operate as either GBIC ports or 10/100/1000 Mbps
twisted pair ports. The default port type setting is twisted pair. In order
to change the use of these ports from one type to the other, the port
type must be changed in the AT-S41 management software.
To configure a gigabit port type, perform the following procedure:
1. Click on the Basic Config menu tab and select Port Config from the
sub-menu. Choose Giga Port Config in the next sub-menu.
The Select Giga Port Type page will appear, as displayed in Figure
57.
Figure 57 Select Giga Port Type
2. Select the Stack ID of the switch on which you would like to change
the gigabit port type configurations and click the Apply button to the
right of the Stack ID pull-down menu.
3. Select TP (twisted pair) or GBIC from the Port Type pull-down menu
for Port 25 or Port 26.
4. Click the Apply button to the right of the Port Type pull-down menu.
The port type is changed immediately.
Note
When Port 25 or 26 has been set to operate as a GBIC port instead of
a twisted pair port, the port mode cannot be changed in the Port
Configuration Menu. The GBIC port is in a forced 1000 Mbps full-
duplex mode.
