Issue
What speed and duplex settings do the DMS and GCM Ethernet Network Interface Modules (NIMs) operate at?
Product Line
TAC IA SeriesEnvironment
- DMS-ETH-001
- GCM-ETH-001
Cause
Uncertainty about the Ethernet configuration (speed and duplex) can lead to misconfigured switches or network devices, causing communication failures or degraded performance.
Resolution
Both DMS and GCM Ethernet NIMs comply with the IEEE 802.3 standard as defined in the early 1990s.
- Port Speed: 10 Mbps
- Duplex Mode: Half-duplex
Ensure that connected network equipment (switches, hubs) is configured to support 10 Mbps half-duplex to maintain reliable communication.
