• RX Pkts—Number of packets received from this Remote.
• Num EPs—Number of endpoints connected to this Remote.
Endpoint Database Menu
The Endpoint Database Menu (Figure 3-27) shows all
non-entraNET 900 Ethernet devices that are known to the transceiver
and is equivalent to the ARP table of IP devices. The list shows endpoint
MAC and IP addresses, as well as packet exchange data.
NOTE: An Ethernet Remote does not have an IP address; rather, it acts
as a “transparent bridge” for IP traffic to the connected
Ethernet endpoint.

• MAC Address—Ethernet address of the endpoint device.
• AgeOut—Time, in minutes, remaining before the device (address)
will be removed from the table.
Each transceiver maintains a table with the addresses of the devices
it communicates with. The age time countdown is restarted to its
default setting every time a message to/from that device is detected.
If no traffic with that device happens, it then “ages out” of the table.
When traffic is detected it is included again in the table.
• Via Remote—Unit ID of the transceiver connected to this device.
• IP Address—IP Address of endpoint device (not the Remote).
• TxPkt—Number of packets received from the endpoint device and
passed over-the-air.
