Preconfiguration Menu: Interface Settings

The Interface Settings screen

By default, Threat Discovery Appliance automatically detects the network speed and duplex mode for the management port (MGMT), so it is unlikely that you need to change this setting. However, if any issues with the connection arise, you can manually configure these settings.

• To maximize throughput, Trend Micro recommends full-duplex mode.

Half-duplex is acceptable. However, network throughput is limited because half-duplex communication requires any computer transmitting data to wait and retransmit if a collision occurs.

• Data ports used by the product can be managed from the web-based console by navigating to Administration > Network Interface Settings. For details, see Network Interface Settings.

To modify interface settings:

1. Log on to the Preconfiguration Console. The Main Menu appears.

2. Type 3 to select Interface Settings and press [Enter]. The Interface Settings screen appears.

3. To change the interface settings:

1. Type 1 and press [Enter].

2. In the Speed and Duplex field, use the space bar to change the network speed and duplex mode.

3. Navigate to Return to main menu and press [Enter].

4. Type 2 and press [Enter] to return to the main menu.

5. Type 7 and press [Enter] to save the settings.
