Advertised Ability
These selections indicate the advertised ability of the local hardware. They
become active on ports that have Auto-Negotiation enabled. Auto-Negotiation
allows the FE-100TX RJ-45 port to self-configure to 10 or 100 Mbps depending
on the speed of the attached device. The interfaces can also dynamically
configure themselves for full duplex or half duplex (standard mode) operation
when both ends of the link support Auto-Negotiation. When only one link
partner supports Auto-Negotiation, the mode defaults to half duplex.

Both local and remote management for the Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch
Module provide the ability to disable Auto-Negotiation if desired. A port that
does not support Auto-Negotiation will be read as “other” (1).
