Smart Auto-sensing
You can use the Smart Auto-sensing page to configure Smart
auto-sensing for the stack, as shown in
Figure 21
. By default, Smart
auto-sensing is enabled for the stack.
Smart auto-sensing checks the quality of any new 100Mbps
connection made to the stack. If the connection is unsuitable, it
automatically downgrades the connection to 10Mbps. For more
information on Smart auto-sensing, refer to
“Smart Auto-sensing
Feature”
on
page 16
.
Smart auto-sensing does not affect ports that are fixed to a specific
speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps). To fix a port to a specific speed, use
the Port Speed field on the Port Setup page. Refer to
“Port Setup”
on
page 86
.

Specify whether you want Smart auto-sensing enabled or disabled
for the stack.
Recheck all links If Smart auto-sensing is enabled for the stack, this
checkbox is displayed allowing you to prompt the Smart auto-sensing
feature to recheck all connections. Note that Smart auto-sensing
automatically rechecks all new cable connections. Rechecking all
links is useful to do if abnormal conditions have caused network
errors (such as electrical interference near to the network). To recheck
all connections, select this checkbox and click Apply.
