Configuring Ethernet Media (CTP Menu)

You can configure the CTP Ethernet media to autonegotiate the duplex mode and speed and to set the speed to either 100 or 10 Mbps. The Ethernet configurations on the CTP device must match the configuration of the connected router or switch. Mismatched configurations, such as setting the CTP system to autonegotiate and the router to full duplex, may result in a misconfiguration and dropped packets. You must disable Cisco Discovery Protocol on the Fast Ethernet port connected to the CTP system.

To configure Ethernet interfaces on a CTP device using the CTP Menu:

From the Main Menu, select 5) Node Operations.

Display the current Ethernet configuration by selecting 12) Config ethernet media.
