Configuring LAN and PC Port Negotiation
Ethernet is the computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). You use the LAN Port to connect to a
LAN using a twisted pair 10BASE-T cable to transmit 10BASE-T Ethernet. You use the PC Port to connect to the configura-
tion server (your PC).
There are two Ethernet ports on the rear of the IP phones: LAN Port and PC Port. Using the Aastra Web UI, you can select
the type of transmission you want these ports to use to communicate over the LAN. The IP phones support each of the
following methods of transmission:
• Auto-negotiation
• Half-duplex (10Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000Mbps [if applicable])
• Full-duplex (10Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000Mbps [if applicable])
Auto-negotiation
Auto-negotiation is when two connected devices choose common transmission parameters. In the auto-negotiation
process, the connected devices share their speed and duplex capabilities and connect at the highest common denomi-
nator (HCD). Auto-negotiation can be used by devices that are capable of different transmission rates (such as
10Mbit/sec and 100Mbit/sec [and 1000Mbit/sec for the 6739i, 6735i, 6737i, 6865i, and 6867i]), different duplex modes
(half duplex and full duplex) and/or different standards at the same speed. You can set the LAN and PC Ports on the IP
phones to auto-negotiate during transmission.
