4.1 Port Configuration
At first, you should select a port for configuration. You can configure the port state,
negotiation, speed and duplex, flow control, MAC learning and MDI/MDIX.
Caution:
 Only when the state is enbaled, can you configure the negotiation, speed and duplex,
flow control, MAC learning and MDI/MDIX.
 Only when the negotiation is in Force mode, can you configure the speed and duplex.
Port: Specifies a port to configure
State: Enable/disble the port
Negotiation: Selects Auto or Force, if Auto is selected, the port will automatically use the
best operating mode; while is Force is selected, it needs to configure the speed and duplex
manually.
Speed & Duplex: There are four choices: 10M Half, 10M Full, 100M Half, and 100M Full.
Flow Control: If flow control is enabled on both the local and peer switches. If congestion
occurs on the local switch:

The local switch sends a message to notify the peer switch of stopping sending packets
to itself or reducing the sending rate temporarily.

The peer switch will stop sending packets to the local switch or reduce the sending rate
temporarily when it receives the message; and vice versa. By this way, packet loss is
avoided and the network service operates normally.

If it is off, the port runs at full speed.
Learning: Enable/disable learning function
MDI/MDIX:Three selections: Auto, MDI and MDIX.
After clicking <Apply>, the lower part lists the port status.
