Under “Mode”, you enter where the device gets its IP parameters:
In the BOOTP mode, the configuration is via a BOOTP or DHCP
server on the basis of the MAC address of the device (see on page 33
“Loading/Saving the Configuration”).
In the DHCP mode, the configuration is via a DHCP server on the
basis of the MAC address or the name of the device (see on page 33
“Loading/Saving the Configuration”).
In the local mode the net parameters in the device memory are used.
Enter the parameters on the right according to the selected mode.
You enter the name applicable to the DHCP protocol in the “Name” line in
the system dialog of the Web-based interface.
The HiDiscovery protocol allows you to allocate an IP address to the
device on the basis of its MAC address. Activate the HiDiscovery protocol
if you want to allocate an IP address to the device from your PC with the
enclosed HiDiscovery software (state on delivery: operation “on”, access
“read-write”).

1.4 Port Configuration
1.4Port Configuration
This configuration table allows you to configure each port of the device and
also display each port‘s current mode of operation (link state, bit rate (speed)
and duplex mode).
In the “Name” column, you can enter a name for every port.
In the “Ports on” column, you can switch on the port by selecting it here.
In the “Propagate connection error” column, you can specify that a link
alarm will be forwarded to the device status and/or the the signal contact
is to be opened.
In the “Automatic Configuration” column, you can activate the automatic
selection of the the operating mode (Autonegotiation) and the automatic
assigning of the connections (Auto cable crossing) of a TP port by
selecting the appropriate field. After the autonegotiation has been
switched on, it takes a few seconds for the operating mode to be set.
In the “Manual Configuration” column, you can set the operating mode for
this port. The choice of operating modes depends on the media module.
The possible operating modes are:
–10 Mbit/s half duplex (HDX)
–10 Mbit/s full duplex (FDX)
–100 Mbit/s half duplex (HDX)
–100 Mbit/s full duplex (FDX)
–1000 Mbit/s half duplex (HDX)
–1000 Mbit/s full duplex (FDX)
–10 Gbit/s full duplex (FDX)
The “Link/Current Operating Mode” column displays the current operating
mode and thereby also an existing connection.
In the “Cable Crossing (Auto. Conf. off)” column, you assign the
connections of a TP port, if “Automatic Configuration” is deactivated for
this port. The possible settings are:
–enable: the device swaps the send and receive line pairs of the
TP cable for this port (MDIX).
–disable: the device does not swap the send and receive line pairs of
the TP cable for this port (MDI).
–unsupported: the port does not support this function (optical port).
