network communication. Determine whether your network supports the above network speeds and set it
accordingly. If the network configuration does not match any of these values, it is recommended to use Auto
Negotiation (the Auto option) or refer to your network equipment manufacturer.
Press the center button to continue to the next CMC Network Settings screen.
5. Select the duplex mode (half or full) that matches the network environment.
NOTE: The network speed and duplex mode settings are not available if Auto Negotiation is set to On or
1000MB (1Gbps) is selected.
If auto negotiation is turned on for one device but not the other, then the device using auto negotiation can
determine the network speed of the other device, but not the duplex mode; in this case, duplex mode defaults to
the half duplex setting during auto negotiation. Such a duplex mismatch results in a slow network connection.
Press the center button to continue to the next CMC Network Settings screen.
6. Select the Internet Protocol (IPv4, IPv6, or both) that you want to use for CMC and press the center button to
continue to the next CMC Network Settings screen.
