The AT-FS724 has 24 station ports. The AT-FS718 has 16 station ports
and two uplinks with the following port numbering:
❑ Ports 1 through 16 = station ports
❑ Port 18 = uplink port A
❑ Port 19 = uplink port B
The switch’s port configurations are set to the following defaults:
❑ Status - Ports enabled
❑ Link - Offline until there is a valid physical link to a device
❑ Transmit Mode - Auto-negotiating for speed and duplex
transmission
❑ Switching Mode - Store-and-forward
❑ Port Name - No name assigned
Enable or disable the port
Ports are enabled as a default. In case of a network problem, you may
want to disable a port to prevent problem packets from being
forwarded. Once the problem is fixed, you may enable the port again
to resume normal operation. You can also disable an unused port to
secure it from unauthorized connections.
Transmission mode
The 10Base-T/100Base-TX ports auto-negotiate as a default, while FX
ports are fixed at 100 Mbps. Depending upon what the connected
device supports, you may configure each switch port as follows:
Auto-negotiating: The port determines the connected device’s
configuration, 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps speed, full- or half-
duplex, and adapts automatically. This setting provides
flexibility so that you need not reconfigure the switch if you
change the type of device you are connecting to the port. If
you disable
Auto-negotiate by selecting Full-duplex
or Half-duplex , you can also select Hundred Base
(100BaseTX) for 100 Mbps or Ten Base (10BaseTX)
for 10 Mbps operation.
Full-duplex: You may use this setting if the connected device
supports full-duplex; that is, transmit and receive
communications happen simultaneously.
