5.14.5 Setting the FE-100TX Advertised Ability
In normal operation, a port (1 or 2) with an FE-100TX auto-negotiates to
the highest speed possible. Under some circumstances, the Network
Administrator may want the port to advertise only some of the available
modes and not advertise in other modes. This field steps to 10Base-T,
10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX, and 100Base-TXFD (full
duplex). To set the advertised ability, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Advertised Ability field.
2. Use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode.
3. Use the arrow keys to move to the Enabled/Disabled field to the right
of the desired mode and use the SPACE bar to select Enabled or
Disabled. Press ENTER.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until you have completed enabling or disabling the
desired advertised modes.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER.
The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management saves
the changes to memory.
5.15 FLASH DOWNLOAD SCREEN
The Flash Download screen, shown in Figure 5-20 , allows the user to
clear the information stored in the 2M46-04R FLASH memory and
download a new image file from a TFTP server. Before downloading an
image to the device, load the image onto the network TFTP server.
NOTES
The user may also force the download of an image by changing
the position of Switch 6 located inside the device. Refer to
Section C.2.1 , Setting the Mode Switch, for details. If Switch 6
is toggled, the TFTP server must be located on a Fast Ethernet
port.
For information on how to set up a workstation as a TFTP
server, refer to the specific workstation documentation.
Boot PROM downloads (.hex) cannot be done through HSIM
ports. If downloading through an HSIM, runtime download
MUST be used. Firmware based downloads (.fls) can be done
through any port.
