Half-duplex: You may use this setting if the connected device
supports half-duplex; that is, transmit and receive
communications do not happen simultaneously.
Switching mode
Ports are set to store-and-forward as a default. With the available
switching options, you can optimize performance and enable error
checking.
Store-and-forward: With this setting, the port waits to receive an
entire packet before forwarding the packet to its destination;
the port forwards only those packets without errors. The port
automatically goes to the store-and-forward mode when data
is exchanged between 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports.
Cut-through (for 100 Mbps operation): This is available only at
100 Mbps transmission speed. The port starts to forward the
packet once the packet has exceeded the smallest size (64
bytes), therefore filtering fragment frames or runts. This
method provides low latency for forwarding frames and also
provides some network error protection.
Port name
The default is no port name assigned. The port name can be up to 20
characters.
