Port Configuration

This configuration table allows you to configure each port of the device and also display each port‘s current mode of operation (link state, bit rate (speed) and duplex mode).

Note: The device supports gigabit interfaces on copper ports with auto negotiation enabled.
Note: The active automatic configuration has priority over the manual configuration.
Note: If you are using link aggregation, pay attention to its configuration (refer Link Aggregation).
Note: When you are using a redundancy function, you deactivate the flow control on the participating device ports. If the flow control and the redundancy function are active at the same time, there is a risk that the redundancy function will not operate as intended.
Note: The following settings are required for the ring ports in a HIPER-Ring:

When you switch the DIP switch for the ring ports, the device sets the required settings for the ring ports in the configuration table. The port, which has been switched from a ring port to a normal port, is given the settings Autonegotiation (automatic configuration) on and Port on. The settings remain changeable for all ports.
