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.
