Switch Control Setup
Auto-Negotiate
Enable the Auto-Negotiation setting for the Ethernet port. When disabled, the Duplex
Mode setting and Data Rate setting must be congured.
NOTICE
The Native Port of units shipped before April 17, 2014, do not support the
Auto-Negotiate function. The recommended solution is to connect the
communication device to the Add-on-Port. If it is necessary to use both ports,
turn off the Auto-Negotiate mode and explicitly set the port speed to 100 MBS.
Looking at the bottom of the front panel with the faceplate at the top, the left port is
Native and the right port is Add-on.
Duplex Mode
The Full Duplex setting permits simultaneous communication in both directions. The
Half Duplex (default) setting permits communication in one direction at a time.
Data Rate
This can be set to 10 Mbit or 100 Mbit. (Default: 10 Mbit)
Default Gateway Address
A gateway is a node (a router) on a computer network that serves as an access point to
another network. A default gateway is the node on the computer network that is chosen
when the IP address does not belong to any other entities in the routing table.
The default gateway address is the Ethernet IP address of the radio in the control.
IP Routing Table
This table is used to route data to specic network destinations. All controls (except
IntelliRupter fault interrupters) have two Ethernet ports: Native and AddOn. When both
ports have different IP addresses but identical network addresses and subnet masks,
issues may exist because packets may mistakenly be sent out of the wrong interface. If
both ports are congured with different network addresses and/or subnet masks, then
lling out this table is not required.
The table can accommodate 16 entries for 16 possible rules. Variables are entered
in IPv44 dot-decimal notation (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx) and the priority of network
destination is from first to last. When the source IP matches a rule, the corresponding
destination is automatically selected and further routing is abandoned. The IP Routing
Table has higher priority than the regular port routing (based on Ethernet settings).
When the IP Routing Table is parsed and no rule is found to match, the regular routing
function will be used.
Network Destination
This is typically the IP address of the client machine that wants to connect to a specic
interface address.
Subnet Mask
This is typically 255.255.255.255 which means only one specic address is directed to the
specied interface. However, by carefully selecting the Netmask values and dening the
priority rules, it is possible to create a range of addresses directed to specic interfaces.
Gateway
This is typically the IP address of the Ethernet port (Native or Addon) on the control.
