Ethernet Interface Configuration Page
This page allows the administrator to set the muting, alarm, and duplex settings of both
the ETHERNET MAIN and AUX connections.
It also allows determination of the management information for in-band (carried over the
air and available from both the MAIN and AUX connectors on either end of the link) or
out-of-band (not carried over the air and only available from the local AUX connector).
Figure 26 Ethernet Interface Configuration Page
Muting the MAIN connection is desirable when connected equipment senses Ethernet
signaling and makes decisions (such, as spanning tree protocol enable) based on the
presence or lack of presence of the Ethernet signal. If the MAIN connection has muting
enabled, the port mutes when the link is not active.
It may be desirable to disable the alarming of the AUX connector if it is not used.
Set the Ethernet interfaces on the radio and connected equipment to 100/full-duplex for
best performance. If the Ethernet ports are set to auto-negotiation, poor throughput
performance may be a result, as well as intermittent disconnections of the Ethernet
connection.
