Ethernet Service Configuration
HBS Aging Time
The HBS works in Bridge Mode. In Bridge mode the ODU performs both learning and aging,
forwarding only relevant packets over the sector. The aging time of the ODU is by default, 300
seconds.
Ethernet Ports Configuration
The ODU Ethernet port mode is configurable for line speed (10/100/1000BaseT) and duplex
mode (half or full duplex).
Line speed 1000BaseT is only available if the HBS is connected to A GbE PoE device.
.
An Auto Detect feature is provided, whereby the line speed and duplex mode are detected
automatically using auto‐negotiation. Use manual configuration when attached external
equipment does not support auto‐negotiation. The default setting is Auto Detect.
The icon next to the CRC error count may be clicked to reset the counter to zero.
You should not reconfigure the port that is used for the managing computer
connection, since a wrong configuration can cause a management
disconnection or Ethernet services interruption.
Caution
To configure the Ethernet Mode:
• In the Ethernet Ports Configuration pane, use the drop‐down menu to choose the
required mode.
Transmission Ratio (Tx Ratio, Asymmetric Allocation))
The Transmission Ratio shows the allocation of throughput between downlink and uplink
traffic at the HBS. The Transmission Ratio is not only sector‐wide: If you use HSS (Chapter 13)
to collocated several HBSs (to cover adjacent sectors), they must all use the same
Transmission Ratio.
