Configuring Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring Services
2-10 117020-A Rev. A
You can set the advertised line speed to
• 100Base-TX, half-duplex only
• 100Base-TX, full-duplex only
• 100Base-TX, both half- and full-duplex
• No advertising
To maximize throughput, operate at half-duplex (the default setting). Configuring
one of the full-duplex settings will not increase throughput and may, in some
cases, decrease throughput. Use a full-duplex setting only to allow operation at
greater distances over fiber optic cable.
Viewing Line Negotiation Status
To view the current line negotiation status:
1. Start at the Auto Negotiation Configuration prompt (refer to Figure 2-3).
2. Click on View Auto Negotiation Status.
The Auto Negotiation State Information window appears (F
igure 2-5). This
window provides details about the current line configuration. T
able 2-2
provides information about the status display.
3. Proceed as follows, depending on the status of the transaction:
• If negotiation or data transmission is taking place, click on OK.
The Auto Negotiation State Information window closes, and negotiation
or data transmission continues.
• If there is a problem with the line, click on Restart.
This action resets all automatic line negotiation parameters and restarts
the line negotiation process.
