Port Setting - Billion BiPAC 7401VGP R3 User Manual

Port Setting

This section allows you to configure the settings for the router's Ethernet ports to solve some
of the compatibility problems that may be encountered while connecting to the Internet, as well
allowing users to tweak the performance of their network.
Port # Connection Type: There are Six options to choose from: Auto, disable, 10M half-duplex,
10M full-duplex, 100M half-duplex, 100M full-duplex and Disable. Sometimes, there are Ethernet
compatibility problems with legacy Ethernet devices, and you can configure different types to
solve compatibility issues. The default is Auto, which users should keep unless there are specific
problems with PCs not being able to access your LAN.
IPv4 TOS priority Control (Advanced users): TOS, Type of Services, is the 2 octet of an IP
nd
packet. Bits 6-7 of this octet are reserved and bit 0-5 are used to specify the priority of the packet.
This feature uses bits 0-5 to classify the packet's priority. If the packet priority is set as high, its
transmission will be given the first priority it will not be constrained by the Rate Limit. Therefore,
when this feature is enabled, the router's Ethernet switch will first check the 2 octet of each IP
nd
packet. If the value in the TOS field matches the values checked in the table (0 to 63), this packet
will be treated as high priority.
