5 Configuring the Ports
The port configuration consists of:
X Switching the port on and off
X Selecting the operating mode
X Activating the display of connection error messages
X Configuring Power over ETHERNET.
Switching the port on and off
In the state on delivery, all the ports are switched on. For a higher level of
access security, switch off the ports at which you are not making any
connection.
Selecting the operating mode
In the state on delivery, all the ports are set to the “Automatic
configuration” operating mode.
Note: The active automatic configuration has priority over the manual
configuration.
Select the
Basics:Port Configuration dialog.
In the "Port on" column, select the ports that are connected to
another device.
Select the
Basics:Port Configuration dialog.
If the device connected to this port requires a fixed setting
– select the operating mode (transmission rate, duplex mode) in
the "Manual configuration" column and
– deactivate the port in the "Automatic configuration" column.
