FDX mode
Ethernet interface operating mode. Possible values for mode:
AUTO Auto negotiation (factory default)
10H 10 Mbps half duplex mode
10F 10 Mbps full duplex mode
100H 100 Mbps half duplex mode
100F 100 Mbps full duplex mode
FLOW AUTO | ON | OFF
Ethernet flow control:
AUTO Auto negotiation
ON flow control enabled
OFF flow control disabled
Flow control is implemented with PAUSE frames in full duplex mode and by backpressure (forcing
collisions) in half duplex mode.
FLT ON | OFF
Bridge filtering mode:
ON MAC address filtering enabled. Only broadcast packets and packets with destination ad-
dresses known to be on the Ethernet segment connected to the DSL will be forwarded to the
DSL. The Bridge Filtering mode provides learning capacity of 8192 MAC addresses with an
aging time of 3 minutes. Note that the Bridge Filtering mode of the Watson 5 Ethernet table-
top is unaware of VLAN tags.
OFF filtering disabled. All Ethernet packets are transferred transparently to the DSL interface.
HDLCTAG ON | OFF
ON Ethernet frames are transmitted over the DSL link with Cisco HDLC framing
OFF Ethernet frames are transmitted with compressed HDLC framing. This setting must be used
if the Watson 5 Ethernet tabletop is connected to the Watson 5 Ethernet plugin.
Cf. chapter 3.2
7.1.6 Ethernet Bridging Configuration
Ethernet bridging is only available on the Watson 5 Ethernet plugin.
AGING [ Time ]
Defines the aging time for all entries in the address learning database of the Ethernet bridge.
Parameter:
Time
Aging time in seconds (16 .. 4'000). Will be rounded to the next multiple of 16 sec-
onds.
AGING without parameters will display the current aging time.
