Prioritizing voice traffic over shared networks

Prioritizing voice traffic on shared networks can improve QoS on LAN and
WAN segments of the network that support prioritization. Achieving the desired
QoS through prioritization over LAN connections requires you to enable 802.1Q
Mapping. Achieving the desired QoS through prioritization over WAN
connections requires you to enable the DiffServ CodePoint.
For more information on DiffServ, 802.1Q, and quality of service in general,
refer to "Evaluating your network", and "Quality of service issues" in the
Remote Gateway 9100 Series Network Engineering Guidelines (NTP 555-8421-
103).
RLC Installation and Administration Guide
Description
This setting configures Ethernet support on the RLC to allow
simultaneous transmission and reception of Ethernet packets.
When you enable full-duplex Ethernet, you must also set the
corresponding port on the connected switch, hub, or router to 10
FULL Duplex. Remote Gateway 9100 Series products do not
support Auto negotiation of the Ethernet interface.
Click on the Enable option button if you want to allow 10-
Megabit per second transmission in both directions, send
and receive.
Click on the Disable option button if you do not want to
allow 10-Megabit per second transmission in both
directions, send and receive.
The default is Disable.
Note: When you configure a full-duplex Ethernet connection,
the RLC's Ethernet collision LED remains on solid (constantly
lit).
