Netgear GSM712 참조 가이드

There are two sub-menus at Set-Up menu, Port Configuration and IP Configuration.

  

 

 

On this page, you can set up the port characteristics related to link operations (see Figure 6-7). All of the parameters on this page are toggle 
settings. To change, or toggle, between options, hit Ctrl-M to move the curser to the ports field and simply strike the space bar when the 
appropriate option is highlighted.  

 

Name 

 

Allows you to name the port or make notes. 
 
Link 
Indicates the state of the connection.  Values in this field cannot be toggled. 
 
On/Off  
Allows you to Enable or Disable the port.   
 
State

 

The State field displays the Spanning Tree State of the port (Blocking, Listening, Learning, Forwarding, or Disabled).  You can only observe the 
status of the ports; you cannot modify this field.  The Spanning Tree Protocol controls this field. 
 
Rate/Duplex 

 

Offers the choice of Full-duplex, Half-duplex, or Auto negotiation.  Enabling auto-negotiation on a port allows a port to sense the communication 
speed and negotiate the duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) automatically. The ports will select the highest possible throughput.  The port can 
auto-negotiate with any port that is compliant with IEEE 802.3u. If the other port is not IEEE802.3u compliant, the port will default to half-duplex, 10 
Mbps mode.  Users can operate the communication speed and duplex mode manually. 
 
Flow Control

 

Allows you to enable or disable Flow Control.  Flow control is a protocol that prevents packets from being dropped by reducing the amount of traffic 
to a level that can be accommodated.  If enabled on both ends of a connection, it will prevent the sender from sending data until the receiver can 
accept it.  This switch complies with the IEEE802.3x flow control standard. 
 
Note: GBIC ports do not support Auto Negotiation. You must manually configure the GBIC port. The default values are 1000Mbps, full duplex.
