Ethernet Switch settings

The PowerStation MAIN contains an integrated Eth-
ernet switch. This switch manages the multicast func-
tions of the PowerStation and enables it to be connected
to other PowerStations and other Livewire devices via
your managed Livewire LAN.

This screen has Spanning Tree and port settings.
• Port Configuration
one of three different modes for the two gigabit
ports on the switch. Options are:
» Access - normally used for connections to
other Livewire devices
» Trunk - used for the connections to a core
Ethernet switch or other PowerStations.
» Access STP port fast - may optionally be used
when you connect up to four PowerStations in
a ring configuration. By selecting this mode,
the normal STP logic is reversed. The port is
allowed to start sending packets immediately,
and loop discovery is done in parallel. There

» Enable STP - (Spanning Tree Protocol) used
only when you are connecting multiple Pow-
erStations (maximum of 4) in a loop configu-
ration.
» Bridge Priority - can be used to assign "root"
priority to devices that are connected in a loop.
A lower number indicates a higher priority.
Your network administrator should be con-
sulted if you think you need to make changes
to the default setting.
System Parameters
As described previously in this manual, it is recom-
mended that all IP address information be entered in the
PowerStation main Setup menu. IP addresses are auto-
matically assigned to the IO Subsystems and Ethernet
switch. If you make a change in this section, it may be
over-written the next time the PoewrStation is restarted.
