The SmartSwitch 2000 Chassis View

The Auto Negotiation Technologies list box has the following column headings:

Advertised

This column speciÞes whether the operational mode listed in the far right column

of the list box will be advertised to the link partner. Only those operational modes

supported by the local port (those with a ÒyesÓ listed in the Local column) can be

advertised. Valid values are Enabled (the mode is supported and will be

advertised), Disabled (the mode is supported but will not be advertised), and

Ò---Ó (the mode is not supported).

Local

Indicates whether the operational mode listed in the far right column of the list

box is supported by the local port.

Remote

Indicates whether the operational mode listed in the far right column of the list

box is supported by the remote port.

Auto Negotiate Technology

This column lists possible operational modes.

Setting Advertised Abilities for Auto Negotiation

You can determine which operational mode supported by the local port will be

advertised to the negotiating link partner. Of the advertised modes, the highest

mode mutually available will automatically be used.

To advertise an operational mode:

1. In the list box, click on the operational mode of choice.

If the Advertised column had a value of Enabled, it will change to Disabled; a

value of Disabled will change to Enabled. If the Advertised column has a value

of “---”, then the value is not changed.

2. Click on the Apply button to save your changes. Click on the Refresh button

to display the new settings. Note that it may take a few minutes for mode

changes to be completely initialized, particularly if the link partners must

negotiate or re-negotiate the mode; you may need to refresh the window a few

times before current operational data is displayed.

Conﬁguring the COM Port

You can use the COM Port ConÞguration window (Figure 2-17) to specify the

functions that will be performed by the RS232 COM port on the SmartSwitch 2000

front panel. To do so:

1. Click on Device in the Chassis View menu bar to display the Device menu.
