6.10 Option Port Settings

Advanced > Advanced Network > Option Port Setup
The physical port settings for each Option link can be defined here. If your ISP account
defines the Option port speed or is associated with a MAC address, this information is
required by the controller to ensure a smooth connection with the network.
The default MTU size supported by all ports is 1500. This is the largest packet size that
can pass through the interface without fragmentation. This size can be increased,
however large packets can introduce network lag and bring down the interface speed.
Note that a 1500 byte size packet is the largest allowed by the Ethernet protocol at the
network layer.
The port speed can be sensed by the controller when Auto is selected. With this option
the optimal port settings are determined by the controller and network. The duplex (half
or full) can be defined based on the port support, as well as one of three port speeds:
10 Mbps, 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps (i.e. 1 Gbps). The default setting is 100 Mbps for
all ports.
The default MAC address is defined during the manufacturing process for the
interfaces, and can uniquely identify this controller. You can customize each Option
port's MAC address as needed, either by letting the Option port assume the current
LAN host's MAC address or by entering a MAC address manually.
