IP Address: Internet protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family of Internet
protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network.
Subnet Mask: A subnet allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be segregated
based on a network configuration.
Gateway IP Address: The IP address of a computer / router on the current network that acts
as a gateway.
VLAN High Priority Traffic Threshold: All packets with an 802.1P priority tag greater than
or equal to the indicated value will be treated as a high priority packet for transmission over
the wireless link.
Use VLAN For Management Interfaces: This controls whether the management interfaces
(WWW/SNMP/SMTP/SNTP) use 802.1Q VLAN tags or not. See section 8.3.1.3.
Ethernet Auto Negotiation This enables the Ethernet configuration to be forced rather than
auto negotiated.
Warning: 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 600
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 will
change see Section 8.3.1.4 "LAN Configuration Page – Manual Ethernet Configuration".
Auto Neg Advertisement: This controls the rates that the auto negotiation mechanism will
advertise as available. Warning: 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.
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 alternate link.
