SPEEDLAN 8500 Series Installation and Operation User Guide
5-6 Configuring SPEEDLAN
Advanced Interface Setup
To set up the advanced interface, choose Advanced Interface Setup from the Setup menu on the
SPEEDLAN Configurator. The Advanced Interface Setup contains a few more advanced settings, but
they are set up in the same manner. Note that the Max Tx rate is available on both the Interface
Setup and Advanced Interface Setup. Max Tx Rate is useful to ISPs that want to regulate the
maximum bandwidth provided to each customer. These settings should not be changed without the
assistance of a Wave Wireless Networking Technical Support Engineer.
The Setup Buttons
Setup 1 Button - Ethernet Setup
To modify the Ethernet Setup, click the Setup 1 button on the Interface Setup or Advanced Interface
Setup dialog box. SPEEDLAN IDUs come standard with a 10/100 Base-T interface to connect to
your wired network. Although the interface is capable of operating at both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps,
it does not use autosensing or autoswitching functionality. The default setting is for 10 Mbps half-
duplex operation. If you want to connect your IDUs to a 100 Mbps port, the Ethernet interface can
be manually switched to 100 Mbps in this portion of the setup.
The interface also supports full-duplex operation when connected to either a 10 or 100 Mbps LAN
port. The default setting is for half-duplex. The interface can be configured to operate in the full-
duplex mode by selecting it on this dialog box.
