AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide
5-4
The access point only supports 802.1x authentication over its LAN port. The access point
behaves as an 802.1x supplicant to authenticate to a server on the network. If using 802.1x
authentication, enter the authentication server user name and password. The default
password is “motorola.” For information on enabling and configuring authentication
schemes on the access point, see Enabling Authentication and Encryption Schemes on page
6-5.
5. Use the Port Settings field to define how the access point manages throughput over the
LAN port.
6. Click Apply to save any changes to the LAN Configuration screen. Navigating away from
the screen without clicking the Apply button results in all changes to the screen being lost
if the prompts are ignored.
Auto Negotiation Select the Auto Negotiation checkbox to enable the access point
to automatically exchange information (over its LAN port) about
data transmission speed and duplex capabilities.
Auto negotiation is helpful when using the access point in an
environment where different devices are connected and
disconnected on a regular basis.
Selecting Auto Negotiate disables the Mbps and duplex checkbox
options.
100 Mbps Select this option to establish a 100 Mbps data transfer rate for the
selected half duplex or full duplex transmission over the access
point’s LAN port. This option is not available if Auto Negotiation is
selected.
10 Mbps Select this option to establish a 10 Mbps data transfer rate for the
selected half duplex or full duplex transmission over the access
point’s LAN port. This option is not available if Auto Negotiation is
selected.
half duplex Select this option to transmit data to and from the access point, but
not at the same time. Using a half duplex transmission, the access
point can send data over its LAN port then immediately receive
data from the same direction in which the data was transmitted.
Like a full-duplex transmission, a half-duplex transmission can
carry data in both directions, just not at the same time.
full duplex Select this option to transmit data to and from the access point at
the same time. Using full duplex, the access point can send data
over its LAN port while receiving data as well.
