Troubleshoot an EtherNet/IP Communication Module with Diagnostic Web Pages Chapter 10

1. Review the values in the Ethernet Port 1 table.

If Is

And

you

Then

Link Status

Active

Do not want to change the status

No action is required

Inactive

Want to establish communication on the network

Reconfigure the module, or port, that is inactive.

Speed

100 or
1000
Mbps

Do not want to change your port speed

No action is required.
Important: 100 Mbps is the default port speed.

Want to reduce your port speed to 10 Mbps

You must manually configure your module and reset your module.

10 Mbps

Want to increase your port speed to 100 Mbps

Reset your module

Do not want to change your port speed

No action is required.

Duplex

Full

Are sending large amounts of data

No action is required.
Important: Full Duplex is the default port setting.
Full-duplex ports eliminate collisions because each device has separate channels for the
transmission and receipt of large amounts of data.

Half

Are not sending large amounts of data

No action is required.
Important: Delays due to collisions or switch traffic are usually negligible, but can become a
problem if you need to send a lot of data.

Are sending large amounts of data

Change your module’s Duplex setting to Full.

Autonegotiate
Status

(1)

Speed
and/or
Duplex

Are using a fiber converter

Change your module’s Autonegotiate status to None.
Important: Fiber links do not support autonegotiation.

Are not using a fiber converter

No action is required.
Important: Speed and/or Duplex is the default setting.
Autonegotation enables devices to select the best way to communicate without you having to
do any configuring. All devices with an Ethernet speed rating of 100 Mbps are required to
support autonegotiation.

None

Are not using a fiber converter

Change your module’s Autonegotiate status to Speed and/or Duplex.

(1) When you use an EtherNet/IP communication module with multiple ports, make sure you use the same Autonegotiate Status configuration for both ports.
