Note
With various automatic functions, the IE switch prevents or reduces the effect on other ports
and priority classes (class of service) if a port is overloaded. This can me
an that frames are
discarded even when flow control is enabled.
Port overload occurs when the IE switch receives more frames than it can send, for example
as the result of different transmission rates.
Down-Shift enabled
This setting is available only with SCALANCE X-300/X408-2 for gigabit ports with twisted
pair cabling.
If this option is enabled, the port can lower its performance to 100 Mbps, for example if there
are problems with the line.
Variable Distance enabled
This setting is only available if the port is located on a MM992-2VD media module.
If this option is enabled, the port operates in the "Variable Distance" mode (VD). If this option
is disabled, the port operates as a standard gigabit port.
Mode
In the Mode list box, you can set the transmission speed and duplexity of the port. If you set
the mode to autonegotiation, these parameters are automatically negotiated by the IE switch
and the connected end device.
Note
Set the mode to autonegotiation if you want to use autocrossover to the partn
er port.
Port Name
Here, you can enter a name for the port.
Port Type
The type of port is displayed here. You cannot edit this box because the information is
hardware-dependent.
