Settings on the Ethernet Hardware Page
The Ethernet Hardware page contains one setting:
Speed
The Speed drop-down menu lists five options for the type of connector,
connection speed, and duplex setting used by the port. The option you select must
match the actual connector type, speed, and duplex settings used to link the port
with the wired network.
The default setting, Auto, is best for most networks because the best connection
speed and duplex setting are automatically negotiated between the wired LAN and
the access point. If you use a setting other than Auto, make sure the hub, switch,
or router to which the access point is connected supports your selection.
• Auto—This is the default and the recommended setting. The connection
speed and duplex setting are automatically negotiated between the access
point and the hub, switch, or router to which the access point is connected.
Note Some switches with inline power do not fully support Ethernet speed
auto-negotiation. If your 350 series access point is powered by a
switch with inline power, the Auto speed setting is applied only after
you reboot the access point.
