Configuring Transmission Methods of the Internet Port
and the PC Port
Two Ethernet ports on the back of the IP phone: Internet port and PC port. Three optional methods of transmission
configuration for IP phone Internet or PC Ethernet ports:
• Auto-negotiation
• Half-duplex
• Full-duplex
Auto-negotiation is configured for both Internet and PC ports on the IP phone by default.
Auto-negotiation
Auto-negotiation means that two connected devices choose common transmission parameters (e.g., speed and
duplex mode) to transmit voice or data over Ethernet. This process entails devices first sharing transmission
capabilities and then selecting the highest performance transmission mode supported by both. You can configure
the Internet port and PC port on the IP phone to automatically negotiate during the transmission.
Half-duplex
Half-duplex transmission refers to transmitting voice or data in both directions, but in one direction at a time; this
means one device can send data on the line, but not receive data simultaneously. You can configure the half-
duplex transmission on both Internet port and PC port for the IP phone to transmit in 10Mbps or 100Mbps.
Full-duplex
Full-duplex transmission refers to transmitting voice or data in both directions at the same time; this means one
device can send data on the line while receiving data. You can configure the full-duplex transmission on both
Internet port and PC port for the IP phone to transmit in 10Mbps or 100Mbps.
Procedure
The transmission methods of Ethernet ports can be configured using the configuration files or locally.
