I would like to find a way to configure a port to 10 Mbps Full Duplex on hiperarc. I have a switch (Cisco Catalyst) that is capable of doing 10 Mbps half/full. It will be too costly to replace all my cards to support 10/100. When I set the switch port to 10 Mbps Full, the hiperarc default to 10 Mbps half because of autosensing logic. This create alignment errors... So far, I am using up to 7 DSP per 10 Mbps half duplex connection. I see up to 4% collision rate. I am trying to get a better "Internet experience" out of my testing. It will be "really" nice to have a manual speed & duplex setting. Because we use this interface like a "trunk", even at 100 Mbps autosensing I will prefer to see a manual setting. I spoke to CommWorks and they want my company to pay for it because I'm the only customer requesting it. In a nutshell, I would like to hear from you the following: - Is there a way to assign 10 Mbps full duplex if the switch is only 10 Mbps half/full? - If you are using a 10 Mbps half duplex, what is your maximum number of hiperDSP assigned to this conection? - Would you consider "important" to have a manual speed and duplex setting on hiperarc? Thank you for your time. Richard Roy _________________________________________________________________ Unlimited Internet access -- and 2 months free!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Cant you just lock the port on your managed switch to 100 or 10Full Duplex and let the Arc 'autosense' to that ? I assume you've all tried that and it doesnt work??
