Note
For the Fluke 686 and 685, the
Reset All Configs
option has no
effect on the opposite interface mode. That is, selecting the
Reset
All Configs
option while in the Ethernet interface does not reset
configuration settings in the Token Ring interface, and vice versa.
Network Configuration
Press the top-level
Setup/Utils
softkey, and the Network Configuration
screen is automatically selected. Configure the following Ethernet or Token
Ring parameters to your specific testing requirements. The default parameters
are underlined.
Ethernet
Caution
Always configure the Fluke 686 and 683 LANMeter
instrument’s Ethernet Speed parameter to Auto Detect
when you are unsure whether you are attaching to a 10
Mbps or to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.
Do not
configure the LANMeter instrument for 100 Mbps
and then attach it to a 10 Mbps network. The presence of
the 100 Mbps link pulse on a 10 Mbps network effectively
brings down the network by preventing all stations from
transmitting.
Configuring the LANMeter instrument to 10 Mbps and then
attaching it to a 100 Mbps network causes erroneous
results (such as excessive collisions) to be reported.
