6.1 Ethernet Setup and Status
Ethernet is globally used for data communication. Ethernet transmits variable
length frames up to 1500 bytes in length, each containing a header with the
source and destination addresses and a trailer that contains error correction
data.
When setting an Ethernet application on OTN, in the navigation area of the
Ports Setup screen, the Ethernet layer may initially be shown as a single
Ethernet button which will change into a row of buttons when you touch it.
Each button represents an aspect of Ethernet port setup and gives you
access to the related setup options.
The Ethernet interface uses the Electrical RJ45 connectors or the optical ports.

The configuration options available in the setup area of the screen are

Setup dialog box. Touching the arrow to the right of the button will open the
