Setup

Use the Setup tab to configure the port settings. The
following options are available:

Port State – Enables and disables the port.

Flow Control – Enables and disables flow control
for the entire Switch. When flow control is
enabled, the Switch regulates the packet flow so
that a sending device does not transmit more
packets than a receiving device can process. If flow
control is disabled, packets may be dropped under
certain periods of high traffic.

Flow control is disabled by default.

Speed – Sets the speed mode of the port. Available
options include auto, 10, 100, and 1000. For 1000
Mbps connections, see

“Speed/Duplex for 1000

Mbps Connections”

below.

Auto (or autonegotiation) sets the optimum
combination of speed and duplex that can be
supported by both ends of the link.
