Port Configuration
Port parameters can also be set from the LCD console 
on the Switch 2000 TR front panel. If you have made 
settings using the VT100 interface, those settings will 
be reflected in the LCD console. Refer to Chapter 3 
for more information on navigating the LCD console 
and the LCD console map.
The screens are circular, meaning that you can access 
them by scrolling either up or down. For the sake of 
simplicity, these instructions use only the Down Arrow 
to move through the screens.
You can set these parameters using the LCD console:
