Motorola PTP 300 Series User Manual page 107

Gateway IP Address
The IP address of a computer / router on the current network that acts as a gateway.
Use VLAN For Management Interfaces
This controls use of VLAN tags at the management interfaces (WWW/SNMP/SMTP/SNTP).
See Section 7.5.2.2 "LAN Configuration Page for VLAN".
Ethernet Auto Negotiation
This enables the Ethernet configuration to be forced rather than auto negotiated.
CAUTION
The IEEE802.3 specification recommends enabling Auto Negotiation. The
configuration should only be forced if you are having problems with auto negotiation.
You must ensure that you configure both this unit and the Ethernet port to which it is
connected identically. If you force a fixed Ethernet Configuration on the PTP 300
Series bridge then you MUST also force the same fixed configuration on the
equipment to which it is connected. If you fail to force the configuration of the
connected equipment, its automatic configuration mechanisms will normally cause a
duplex mismatch, and you will receive greatly reduced throughput!
When Ethernet Auto Negotiation is Disabled the format of the LAN configuration page
changes see Section 7.5.2.3 "LAN Configuration Page – Manual Ethernet Configuration".
Auto Neg Advertisement
This controls the rates that the auto negotiation mechanism will advertise as available.
CAUTION
Over the air throughput will be capped to the rate of the Ethernet interface at the
receiving end of the link.
Ethernet Auto Mdix
This enables/disables the Auto Medium Dependent Interface (MDI)/Medium Dependent
Interface Crossover (MDIX) capability. Default is "Enabled".
Drop Ethernet Link On Wireless Link Down
When this option is enabled the Ethernet link is momentarily dropped when the wireless link
goes down. This feature is used to indicate to the connected network equipment that this
Ethernet link is no longer available, thus causing STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) to re-route
packets through an alternative link.
7.5.2.1 Reboot Verification
A number of attributes, such as IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address and
VLAN settings will require a reboot before they are used. If any of these attributes are
changed a reboot screen appears asking the user to verify the reboot (Figure 42 or Figure
43).
