9.2 Network settings with Fast Ethernet / gigabit Ethernet
9.2.1 Fast Ethernet with the PROFINET and gigabit interface
The common transmission characteristics of the two interfaces are described
below. For information on the transmission speed 1 Gbps of the gigabit interface,
see Section 9.2.2.
The configuration of the network settings “Transmission medium / duplex” is made
for both interfaces in the properties dialog of the port of the relevant interface in the
“Options” tab.

Row “X2P1”: Properties of port 1 of the PROFINET interface
Row “X2P2”: Properties of port 2 of the PROFINET interface
Automatic setting or individual network settings
As default, the CP is configured for automatic detection
(Autosensing/Autonegotiation/Autocrossing).
Notice
In normal situations, the basic setting ensures trouble-free communication. You
should only change these in exceptional situations.
If you create a manual configuration for the CP, the automatic negotiation of the
network settings (autonegotiation) is no longer effective. If, on the other hand, the
communication partner works with autonegotiation, no communication will be
established.
Only use manual configuration when the communication partner works with the
same manually set configuration.
Autocrossing mechanism
The automatic setting also includes an “autocrossing” mechanism. With
autocrossing, you can connect network components and end devices using either
crossover or straight-through cables.
