1. Review the values in the Ethernet Port 1 table.
If And you Then
Link Status Active Do not want to change the status No action is required
Inactive Want to establish communication on the network Reconfigure the module, or port, that is inactive.
Speed is 100 or
1000
Mbps
Do not want to change your port speed No action is required.
Important: 100 Mbps is the default port speed.
Want to reduce your port speed to 10 Mbps You must manually configure your module and reset your module.
10 Mbps Want to increase your port speed to 100 Mbps Reset your module
Do not want to change your port speed No action is required.
Duplex is Full Are sending large amounts of data No action is required.
Important: Full Duplex is the default port setting.
Full-duplex ports eliminate collisions because each device has separate channels for the
transmission and receipt of large amounts of data.
Half Are not sending large amounts of data No action is required.
Important: Delays due to collisions or switch traffic are usually negligible, but can become a
problem if you need to send a lot of data.
Are sending large amounts of data Change your module’s Duplex setting to Full.
Autonegotiate
Status
(1)
is
Speed
and/or
Duplex
Are using a fiber converter Change your module’s Autonegotiate status to None.
Important: Fiber links do not support autonegotiation.
Are not using a fiber converter No action is required.
Important: Speed and/or Duplex is the default setting.
Autonegotation enables devices to select the best way to communicate without you having to
do any configuring. All devices with an Ethernet speed rating of 100 Mbps are required to
support autonegotiation.
None Are not using a fiber converter Change your module’s Autonegotiate status to Speed and/or Duplex.
(1) When you use an EtherNet/IP communication module with multiple ports, make sure you use the same Autonegotiate Status configuration for both ports.
