3-2. The Function Tree in Web Management For offering you a clear guide to use this Web Smart Media Converter, the following is the whole function tree of Web Smart Media Converter in web management. User can refer to the following sections based on the order of this function tree below for more details. Fig.
3-3. Local Setting Fig. 3-4 3-3-1. IP Configuration IP configuration is one of the most important configurations in WEB SMART MEDIA CONVERTER. Without the proper setting, network manager will not be able to view the device. WEB SMART MEDIA CONVERTER supports both manual IP address setting and automatic IP address setting via DHCP server. When IP address is changed, you must reboot the converter to have the setting taken effect and use the new IP to browse for web management.
Parameter description: DHCP Client: WEB SMART MEDIA CONVERTER supports DHCP client used to get an IP address automatically if you set this function “Enable”. WEB SMART MEDIA CONVERTER will find the DHCP server existed in the network to get an IP address. If this function is set “Disable”, you have to input IP address manually. Default: Disable IP address: Users can configure the IP settings and fill in new values if users set the DHCP function “Disable”. Then, click button to update it.
3-3-2. Password Setting Function name: Password Setting Function description: The default user account is “admin” that can not be modified or deleted and is the only one user account. The password must be ‘a’-‘z’, ‘A’-‘Z’, ‘0’-‘9’ and ‘_’. The max. length is 16 characters. After input the data as Fig. 3-6 click button. The default setting of user account is: Username: admin Password: admin Fig.
3-3-3. Converter Configuration Function name: Converter Configuration Function description: This converter provides the following configurable parameters. Fig. 3-7 Converter Configuration Parameter description: Jumbo Frame(9K): If enable this function, the media converter could pass the max. 9KB packets. Link Transparent: Only if link transparent is enabled, the Remote Fault Detect and Link Loss Carry Forward will take effect.
according to remote device’s UTP port link status. This function need enable link transparent first. Link Loss Carry Forward: If enable this function, when the UTP port link down, the fiber port will be forced link down. And the fiber will be resume when UTP port link up. This function need enable link transparent first.
3-3-4. Port Configuration Function name: Port Configuration Function description: Change the state and configuration of each port. This page could set local device’s port status, include work mode, flow control ability, ingress and egress rate limit. Fig. 3-8 Port Configuration Parameter description: Port: The TP Port is MEDIA CONVERTER’s Ethernet UTP interface. The FX Port is MEDIA CONVERTER’s Ethernet Fiber interface.
available for Fast Ethernet. If the media is fiber, it is always 100Mbps and the duplex is 100full/auto; if the media is TP, the Speed/Duplex is comprised of the combination of speed mode, 10/100Mbps, and duplex mode, full duplex and half duplex. Flow Control: There are two modes to choose in flow control, Enable and Disable. If flow control is set “Enable”, both parties can send PAUSE frame to the transmitting device(s) while the receiving port is too busy to handle.
3-3-5. MIB Counter Function name: MIB Counter Function description: The page shows local device’s MIB counters. If click the “clear” button, all MIB counters will be clear to zero. Click the“refresh” button, show the current MIB counters again. Fig.
3-3-6. VLAN The Converter supports Tag-based VLAN (802.1Q). VLAN configuration is used to partition your LAN into small ones as your demand. Properly configuring it, you can gain not only improving security and increasing performance but greatly reducing VLAN management. 3-3-6-1. VLAN Group Function name: 802.1Q VLAN Group Function description: If enable VLAN functions, user could set 16 VLAN entries. Each VLAN entry could set VID and member port. The VID should be 1~4094.
Parameter description: VLAN Group: To display the VLAN Group Index. The maximum is 16 and the range is from 0 to 15. VID: VLAN identifier. Each tag-based VLAN group has a unique VID. It appears only in tag-based and Double-tag mode. TP: To evoke the TP (The converter’s UTP port) to become a VLAN group member. FX: To evoke the FX (The converter’s Fiber port) to become a VLAN group member. CPU: To evoke the CPU (The converter’s CPU) to become a VLAN group member.
