Mini Switch
The default operation for the mini switch will be to auto negotiate transfer
rate (10/100 Mb/s) and duplex method (full or half duplex) with whatever
equipment is connected to the mini switch.
The software provides options to prevent auto negotiation and specify the
required transfer rate and duplex mode for the LAN and PC ports
Æ page 194.
In the default configuration for the mini switch the LAN port supports au-
tomatic detection of cable configuration (pass through or crossover cable)
and will reconfigure itself as needed to connect to the network. However
if the phone is set up to manfully configure the switch port settings then
the cable detection mechanism is disabled, in this case care must be taken
to use the correct cable type.
Depending on what has been implemented in the software IEEE802.1x
(Port based network access control) packets generated by equipment con-
nected to the PC port will be passed through the mini switch and out of
the LAN port.
Removing the power from the phone, or a phone reset/reboot will result in
the temporary loss of the network connection to the PC port. In the case
of a reset/reboot this is about 5 seconds.
The Line Monitor diagnostic routine provides information on the configura-
tion of the mini switch Æ page 198.
Power over LAN information
Power over LAN support is provided on the LAN port and complies with
the IEEE802.3af standard. 8 wire Ethernet cables are required to use it.
