Port Manager
You can arrange the port characteristics related to link operations. To change settings for any parameter on this page, select the current value and press the

l
determines and negotiates with the speed of the attached device.
Duplex — offers the choice of Full, Half, or Auto, which automatically detects the value of the attached device and sets the port duplex mode
l
accordingly.
Flow Control — if enabled, stops the sender from sending data until the receiver can accept it.
l
Comments — allows you to name the port or make comments.
