Configuring an FE-100TX in Port 25 or 26
In normal operation, a port (25 or 26) with an FE-100TX interface 
automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end of the 
segment and no user setup is required. 
 and 
provide instructions for manually configuring the port with an FE-100TX 
installed.
5.22.4
Setting the FE-100TX Operational Mode 
Use this field to set the active technology. This field steps between 
Auto-Negotiation, 10BASE-T, 10BASE-TFD (full duplex), 
100BASE-TX, and 100BASE-TXFD (full duplex). If Auto-Negotiation is 
selected, the FE-100TX automatically sets the active technology. To 
manually set the active technology through Local Management, proceed 
as follows:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Oper. Mode field.
2.
Use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode. Press ENTER. If any 
mode other than Auto-Negotiation is selected, the port only operates 
in the chosen mode and auto-negotiation is disabled. 
3.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER. 
The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management saves 
the changes to memory. The selected mode is displayed in both the 
Desired Operational Mode field and the Current Operational Mode 
field.
5.22.5
Setting the FE-100TX Advertised Ability 
In normal operation, a port (25 or 26) with an FE-100TX auto-negotiates 
to the highest speed possible. Under some circumstances, the Network 
Administrator may want the port to advertise only some of the available 
modes and not operate in other modes. This field steps between 
10BASE-T, 10BASE-TFD (full duplex), 100BASE-TX, and 
100BASE-TXFD (full duplex). To set the advertised ability, proceed as 
follows:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Oper. Mode field.
2.
Use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode.
