Chapter  Configuring the Switch
1 24-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Ggabt Swtch wth WebVew and Power over Ethernet
Port Management
Port functionality can be controlled using the Port
Management settings . Speeds, duplex, grouping, and
Power over Ethernet settings, and more can be defined .
Port Management > Port Settings
You can manually configure the speed, duplex mode, and
flow control used on specific ports, or use to detect the
connection settings used by the attached device . Use the
full-duplex mode on ports whenever possible to double
the throughput of switch connections . Flow control should
also be enabled to control network traffic during periods
of congestion and prevent the loss of packets when port
buffer thresholds are exceeded . The Switch supports flow
control based on the IEEE 802 .3x standard .
This screen displays the current connection status,
including the description, administrative status, link
status, speed, duplex mode, MDI/MDIX, flow control, type,
and LAG .
Port Management > Port Settings

duplex mode when autonegotiation is disabled .
Autonegotaton Enables or disables autonegotiation .
When autonegotiation is enabled, you need to specify
the capabilities to be advertised . When autonegotiation is
disabled, you can force the settings for speed, mode, and
