5.14.2
Configuring an FE-100TX
In normal operation, a port (5 or 6) 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.
5.14.2.1 Setting the FE-100TX Operational Mode 
Use the Desired Oper. Mode 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.
