4.3.3  The Ethernet Switch Tab 
The Ethernet Switch tab contains the following parameters: 
Port (Eth1…Eth4) in accordance with the arrangement on the connector 
board. Only one configuration is allowed/possible for each port. 
Range of values: 1…4 
▪  10: Data rate 10 Mbit/s. 
▪  100: Data rate 100 Mbit/s. 
Autoneg: Automatic baud rate setting. 
Default value: Autoneg 
▪  Full duplex: Simultaneous communication in both directions. 
▪  Half duplex: Communication in one direction. 
▪  Autoneg: Automatic communication control. 
Default value: Autoneg 
Autoneg also 
with fixed 
values 
The Advertising function (forwarding the speed and flow control properties) is 
also performed if the parameters Speed and Flow Control have fixed values. 
This allows other devices whose ports are set to Autoneg to detect the 
settings of the HIMax port settings. 
Default value: Activated 
Limit the inbound multicast and/or broadcast packets. 
▪  Off: No limitation. 
▪  Broadcast: Limit broadcast (128 kbit/s). 
▪  Multicast and Broadcast: Limit multicast and broadcast packets (1024 
kbit/s). 
Default value: Broadcast

4.3.4  The VLAN Tab (Port-Based VLAN) 
For configuring the use of port-based VLAN. For further details, refer to the communication 
manual (HI 801 101 E). 
If VLAN is to be supported, port-based VLAN must be off to enable each port to communicate 
with the other switch ports. 
For each port of a switch, the user can define to which other ports of the switch received 
Ethernet frames may be sent to. 
The table in the VLAN tab contains entries through which the connection between two ports can 
be set to active or inactive. 
Table 18:  VLAN Tab 
Default value: All connections between ports are set to Active
