Configuring Physical Port Parameters on Fast Ethernet Ports
To configure ports on a Fast Ethernet module:

window, select 
Modules & Ports. The Module Information 
dialog box opens.
2. In the Ports column, click the number for the module you want 
to configure (for example, 
10 for 100BASE-FX). The Physical 
Port Configuration dialog box opens.
3. Click the Enable check box to enable a port, or if the check box 
is enabled, click the Enable check box if you want to disable the 
port.
4. Click APPLY to save your changes, or CANCEL to restore 
previous settings.
5. In the Name field, click the port name to set additional 
parameters. The Detailed Physical Port Configuration dialog box 
opens.
6. In the Name field, enter a port name.
Port PACE 
Priority
Determines if the port detects 3Com’s copyrighted 
PACE format as packets pass through the port. 
PACE allows a packet’s priority (higher priority 
packets move through the switch faster) to be set 
at the adapter.
Remote 
Fault Detect
Proprietary mechanism to detect remote link 
errors on Cajun gigabit ports. The default is 
Disabled.
The remote fault detection functionality should be 
enabled (on both ends of a Cajun to Cajun link) in 
two cases:
• When two Cajun gigabit ports are connected 
that do not support auto-negotiation.
• When a Cajun gigabit port that does not support 
auto-negotiation is connected to a Cajun gigabit 
port that does support auto-negotiation.
