Page 7: Ethernet Settings
2 Operation on an Ethernet access 2.1 Ethernet Settings Setting Explanation Access parameters: Phys. parameters: Ethernet: Switch on or off. Auto- negotiaion If autonegotiation is enabled, a network card can independently determine the correct transmission speed and duplex setting for the network port to which it is connected and can then configure itself accordingly. - Page 8 2 Operation on an Ethernet access Enter the MAC address in hexadecimal from the keypad and the softkeys <A..F> (e.g. to enter a “C” press the softkey three times or for an “F” six times; conclude by pressing to confirm your entry).
- Page 9 2 Operation on an Ethernet access Autonegotiation / Ethernet link parameter The default setting supports "autonegotiation" for the Ethernet link. Setting: Autonegotiation "on" When negotiating the link parameters, the ARGUS notifies the remote end that the follow- ing is supported (these settings are fixed; they cannot be reconfigured): 10, 100 or 1000 Mbit/s half or full-duplex Flow control on / off (when on: sym.

Page 10: Setting The Ethernet Interface And Access Mode
2 Operation on an Ethernet access 2.2 Setting the Ethernet interface and access mode Use the included patch cable to connect the ARGUS as a PC replacement to the modem, a ONT, a hub, a switch or a PC and then switch the ARGUS on. The initial display will depend on the access setting used last (in the examples ADSL and Ethernet): The access menu: Using... - Page 11 2 Operation on an Ethernet access The ARGUS will use the marked Ethernet LAN2 access type. ARGUS opens the Status display.

Page 16: Loop (Gige)
3 Loop (GigE) 3 Loop (GigE) This Loop will take all incoming Ethernet frames at Layer 1 (L1) and send them back to the sender unchanged. In the case of a Loop on Layer 2 (L2) of the OSI model, the ARGUS swaps the source MAC address with the destination MAC address and then sends all the incoming Ethernet frames back. - Page 17 3 Loop (GigE) Select the test to be configured Loop (in this example, Loop).
