Reconnection

Standard IEEE reconnection algorithm. Entering S for this option
specifies that a

Partitioned

port is automatically changed back to

Enabled

if this port receives or transmits data without collision for a

period of 512 bit times.

Alternate reconnection algorithm. Entering A for this option specifies
that a

Partitioned

port is automatically changed back to

Enabled

only

if this port receives data without collision for a period of 512 bit times.

Link Test

Link Test On. Entering L for this option enables the module to perform a
10Base-T link pulse test on this port. If the link between this port and a
device is good, the status screen shows the port to be

Online

. If the link is

not good, for example, because the device is powered off or there is a break
in the cable, the status shows this port to be

Offline

.

Link Test Off. Entering O for this option prevents the module from
performing this test and link state for the port shows as blank (--). The
port could still be online or offline, however.

Polarity

Polarity Correction. Entering P for this option enables the module to
automatically reverse the port’s polarity as appropriate. If the port’s
receive pair polarity is correct, the status shows as

Normal

. If the status

shows as

Corrected

, that means the software has detected incorrect

polarity and has automatically fixed it.

No Polarity Correction. Entering N for this option prevents the module
from reversing polarity automatically; you must manually do so yourself.
The port can still have normal polarity; however, if the status shows

Reversed

, that means the software has detected incorrect polarity but

cannot correct it.

Change Port Name

This option allows you to specify a new name for the selected port.

1.

Enter C for

Change port name

to display the following screen:

2.

Enter a new name of up to 20 characters for the port, or press

Return

to keep the current configuration.

To delete an existing name, press

Spacebar

twice and press

Return

.

The port list is updated with the port’s new name, if you assigned
one.

Zero Counters

This option clears all of the statistics counters for this port to zero.
