Note 
The parameter cannot be configured on the SCALANCE W786
-2 SFP. 
Select the transmission speed and the transmission method of the port from this drop-
down list. The transmission speed can be 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. As the 
transmission mode, you can configure full duplex (FD) or half duplex (HD). If you set the 
mode to "Auto negotiation", these parameters are automatically negotiated with the 
connected end device. This must also be in the "Autonegotiation" mode.  
 
Note 
Before the port and partner port can communicate with each other, the settings must 
match at both ends.
 
 
Note 
If 10 Mbps is configured as the transmission speed or half duplex (HD) as the 
transmission mode, this can lead
 to restrictions in PROFINET communication. Always 
select at least 100 Mbps and full duplex (FD) or "Autonegotiation" if you want the device 
to handle PROFINET communication.

Shows the transmission speed and the transmission method of the port.  
● 
 
Shows whether the automatic configuration of the connection to the partner port is

MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
 
Enter the packet size above which packets are fragmented.  
● 
 
Displays the current operational status. The operational status depends on the configured 
"Status" and the "Link". The available options are as follows: 
–  up 
You have configured the status "enabled" for the port and the port has a valid 
connection to the network. 
–  down 
You have configured the status "disabled" or "Link down" for the port or the port has 
no connection. 
● 
 
Shows the connection status to the network. The available options are as follows: 
–  Up 
The port has a valid link to the network, a link integrity signal is being received. 
–  Down 
The link is down, for example because the connected device is turned off.
