Configuring Ethernet Interface
Parameters
The access point’s Ethernet interface can be configured to use auto-negotia-
tion to set the operating speed and duplex mode. When auto-negotiation is
disabled, the operating speed and duplex mode must be manually set to match
that of the connected device. Auto-negotiation is enabled by default.
No t e When using auto-negotiation, be sure that the attached device supports
IEEE 802.3u standard auto-negotiation and is not set to a forced speed and
duplex mode.
Web: Setting Ethernet Interface Parameters
The Port/Radio Settings window on the Configuration tab enables the access
point’s Ethernet interface settings to be configured.
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
■ Auto: The Ethernet interface automatically sets the operating speed and
duplex mode to match that of the attached device.
■ 100BaseTX Full Duplex: The Ethernet interface is set to operate at
100 Mbps full duplex.
■ 100BaseTX Half Duplex: The Ethernet interface is set to operate at
100 Mbps half duplex.
■ 10BaseT Full Duplex: The Ethernet interface is set to operate at
10 Mbps full duplex.
■ 10BaseT Half Duplex: The Ethernet interface is set to operate at
10 Mbps half duplex.
To Configure Ethernet Interface Settings:
1. Select the Configuration tab.
2. Click the [
Port/Radio Settings] button.
3. Under Port Settings, select the setting to match that of the connected
device; either Auto or one of the forced speed and duplex mode options.
4. Click the
[Apply Changes] button.
To display the current operating status for the Ethernet interface, use the AP
Status window on the Status tab. See “The AP Status Window” on page 4-18.
