Function description: 
Ports Configuration is applied to change the setting of each port. In this 
configuration function, you can set/reset the following parameters, Mode and

Parameter description:
 
Mode:  
Set the speed and duplex of the port. If the media is 1Gbps fiber, there 
are three modes to choose: Auto Speed, 1000 Full and Disable. If the 
media is TP, the Speed/Duplex is comprised of the combination of speed 
mode, 10/100/1000Mbps, and duplex mode, full duplex and half duplex.

Flow Control:  
There are two modes to choose in flow control, including Enable and 
Disable. If flow control is set Enable, both parties can send PAUSE frame 
to the transmitting device(s) if the receiving port is too busy to handle.  
When it is set Disable, there will be no flow control in the port. It drops 
the packet if too much to handle.  Default: Enable
