interface installed (100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX), this field displays
the following:
•
100Base-TX interface – Auto-Neg, Unknown (if there is no link),
10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX, or
100Base-TXFD (full duplex).
•
100Base-FX (multimode or single mode) interface – Unknown (if
there is no link), 100Base-FX or 100Base-FXFD (full duplex).
Desired Oper. Mode (Selectable)
This field allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an
interface.
•
FE-100TX Interface – The field toggles between Auto-Neg, 10Base-T,
10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX, and 100Base-TXFD (full
duplex). In normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX interface is
capable of auto-negotiating the operational mode and no further user
setup is required. See
for more details.
•
FE-100FX/F3 Interface – The field toggles between 100Base-FX or
100Base-FXFD (full duplex) operation.
describes how
to configure a port with an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 interface.
NOTE
In normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX installed
automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end
of the segment without requiring user setup. However, Local
Management provides the user with the option of manually
configuring that port.
