Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
IPmux-8/16 supports 1- and 4-port Ethernet modules. This section illustrates
configuration procedure for a 4-port Ethernet module with 4-port Ethernet switch.
For a 1-port Ethernet module only the following parameters are user-configurable:
• Autonegotiation
• Maximum capability advertised
• Default type.

To configure Ethernet interfaces:
1. Follow the path above to display the LAN Physical Layer Configuration menu.
2. From the LAN Physical Layer Configuration, configure the following:
 Channel
 Port 1 (Network port)
 Port 2 (User port 1)
 Port 3 (User port 2)
 Port 4 (User port 3)
 Channel state
 Enable (Current Ethernet interface is enabled)
 Disable (Current Ethernet interface is disabled)
 Autonegotiation:
 Enable (Autonegotiation is enabled)
 Disable (Autonegotiation is disabled)
 Max capability advertised (Maximum capability to be advertised during the
autonegotiation process)
 10BaseT Half Duplex
 10BaseT Full Duplex
 100BaseT Half Duplex
 100BaseT Full Duplex
 Default type (Rate and duplex mode, if the autonegotiation is disabled)
 10BaseT Half Duplex
 10BaseT Full Duplex
 100BaseT Half Duplex
 100BaseT Full Duplex
When autonegotiation protocols do not support each other, this degrades the
connection to a half-duplex mode. In order to avoid this, autonegotiation must be
disabled and the ports must be configured manually. Half-duplex degradation
occurs also when autonegotiation is enabled at one port and disabled at the
opposite port.
