Bridge Forward Delay

This parameter specifies the amount of time it takes to transition
between port states after reset of the RangeLAN2 7500. The
state transitions are as follows: disabled; blocking incoming
packets; listening for other bridges; learning the addresses of
other bridges; and forwarding data. It is specified in seconds
between 4 and 30 with a default setting of 15.

Aging Time

This parameter specifies the time after which the learned physi-
cal address of the network node is discarded. This data is dy-
namically acquired by the RangeLAN2 7500 so that it can
forward packets properly. This parameter is set in seconds
between 10 and 1,000,000 seconds with a default value of 300.

RangeLAN2 Port Priority and Ethernet Port Priority

These parameters are used in the spanning tree algorithm to
determine the place of the port in the tree as well as to resolve
loop contention problems. The lower value has the higher
priority. You can set this parameter for both the RangeLAN2
port and the Ethernet port. These parameters range from 0 to
255 with default values of 128.

RangeLAN2 Port Enabled and Ethernet Port Enabled

If either port is disabled, the RangeLAN2 7500 will not forward
data packets to the network through this port. Since there are
only two ports on the RangeLAN2 7500, disabling either port
would make the entire bridge inactive.
