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 36 Ethernet Interface Configuration page
To ignore Ethernet alarms, disable the alarming of the MAIN and/or connector. Muting the MAIN
connection is desirable when connected equipment senses Ethernet signaling and makes decisions
(such as, spanning tree protocol enable) based on the Ethernet signal. If the MAIN connection has
muting enabled, the port is muted 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.
Some models support the DHCP feature. When enabled, DHCP provides basic DHCP functions to
ease interfacing with a computer. By default DHCP is enabled for models that support it. If the
Ethernet port on the computer is set for DHCP addressing, on radio bootup (for up to 10 minutes) the
radio provides an IP address to the computer that is either 2 or 10 higher than the radio’s current IP
address (for example, if the radio’s IP address is 10.0.0.1, the computer will be set to 10.0.0.3 or
10.0.0.11, depending on the radio model and the software version running on the radio). The radio also
senses any DHCP server on the network and, if detected, mutes its own internal DHCP function.
