Chapter 1: Changes to Local Management Screens

Use this field to set the active technology. This field toggles between 
100Base-FX and 100Base-FXFD (full duplex). To set the active 
technology through Local Management, proceed as follows:

Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Operational Mode field.

Use the SPACE bar to select 100Base-FX or 100Base-FXFD (full 
duplex). 

Press ENTER. The port now operates in the chosen mode. 

Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER. 
The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management saves 
the changes to memory.

In normal operation, an FE-100TX interface automatically establishes a 
link with the device at the other end of the segment and no user setup is 
required. 

 provide instructions for 

manually configuring the port with an FE-100TX installed.

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:

Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Oper. Mode field.

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.
