W&T The basis configuration of the Com-Server
In addition to autonegotiation, the Com-Servers as well as
many manageable switches can be configured for fixed
transmission parameters with respect to speed and duplex
procedure. To prevent communications problems (duplex mis-
match), only the following two combinations are permitted:
• Both parties (switch and Com-Server) are operated in Auto-
Negotiation mode (recommended).
• Both parties are configured for the same (fixed) transmissi-
on speeds and duplex mode.

Changing the link speed is activated only after
saving and exiting the telnet or WBM session by means
of an automatic Com-Server reset. Data from any open net-
work connections is lost. If the newly selected setting is not
supported by the port used on the switch ort hub, the Com-
Server may then not be accessible.
