Port Configuration Menu Screens
Advertised Ability
(Selectable)
Select the port “advertised” mode of operation. In normal operation,
with all capabilities enabled, the port “advertises” that it has the ability
to operate in any mode. The user may choose to set up the port so that
only a portion of the available capabilities are advertised and the others
are disabled. The left field displays the advertised ability of the port,
but only becomes active on ports that have Auto-Negotiation enabled.
The status of a particular ability is displayed in the right field. The “T”
in an ability stands for twisted pair. The possible abilities are listed
below. Only those abilities that are supported will be available.
