Note
With X
-200 IE switches, that are not IRT-compliant, it is not possible to disable ports in
PROFINET mode!
If a port of such a device is disabled by Web B
ased Management, the disabled setting is
overwritten when a PROFINET configuration is downloaded. In PROFINET mode, all ports of
a non IRT
-compliant X-200 IE switch are automatically enabled.
Note
If an IE
switch port operating in autonegotiation
mode is connected to a partner device that is
not operating in autonegotiation mode, the partner device must be set permanently to half
duplex mode.
If an IE switch port is set permanently to full duplex, the connected partner device must also
be set to fu
ll duplex.
If the autonegotiation function is disabled, the MDI/MDI
-X autocrossover function is also
inactive. This means it may be necessary to use a crossover cable.
