Wireless Array
Configuring the Wireless Array 173
2. LED Indicator: Choose Enabled to allow the LED for this interface to
blink with traffic on the port, or choose Disabled to turn the LED off.
The LED will still light during the boot sequence, then turn off. This
option is only available for the Gigabit interfaces.
3. Allow Management on Interface: Choose Yes to allow management of
this Array via the selected network interface, or choose No to deny all
management privileges for this interface. For XN Arrays, this option is
only available for the Gigabit interfaces — management is always enabled
on the 10/100 interface (sometimes called the Management Port).
4. Auto Negotiate: This feature allows the Array to negotiate the best
transmission rates automatically. Choose Yes to enable this feature, or
choose No to disable this feature — the default is enabled. If you disable
the Auto Negotiate feature, you must define the Duplex and Speed
options manually (otherwise these options are not available). Both sides
of the link must have the same values for the following settings, or the
connection will have errors.
a. Duplex: Full-duplex mode transmits data in two directions
simultaneously (for example, a telephone is a full-duplex device
because both parties can talk and be heard at the same time). Half-
duplex allows data transmission in one direction at a time only (for
example, a walkie-talkie is a half-duplex device). If the Auto-
Negotiate feature is disabled, you can manually choose Half or Full
duplex for your data transmission preference.
b. MTU: the Maximum Transmission Unit size. This is the largest packet
size (in bytes) that the interface can pass along.
c. Speed: If the Auto-Negotiate feature is disabled, you must manually
choose the desired data transmission speed from the pull-down list.
For XN Arrays, when configuring the Fast Ethernet interface the
options are 10 Megabit or 100 Megabit. For configuring the Gigabit
interfaces the options are 10 Megabit or 100 Megabit. (Note that 1000
Megabit speed can only be set by Auto-Negotiation.)
