MDS ETH1 ETH2 ETH3 ETH4 ON
will enable MDS on all four Ethernet user interfaces.
7.2.5 Ethernet Configuration (Tabletop)
BITRATE n
Defines the bandwidth used on the DSL span for Ethernet data.
n number of 64 kbit/s timeslots (0 .. 178, FULL)
If the Watson Ethernet tabletop modem is connected to the Watson Ethernet
plug-in modem then the BITRATE must be exactly equal to the DSL LINERATE
in single pair operation or the BITRATE must equal 2 * LINERATE in two-pair
operation.
If the Watson Ethernet tabletop modem is used in a back-to-back configuration
(or connected to a Watson TDM modem with E1 or V35 interfaces) then the
BITRATE must be less or equal than the LINERATE (or 2 * LINERATE in 2-pair
operation).
When the bitrate configured with the BITRATE command exceeds the available
DSL linerate or the BITRATEs on both ends of the link to not match then an ap-
propriate warning is displayed in the Monitor of the tabletop modem.
Cf. chapter 3.2
When BITRATE = FULL the Ethernet interface is automatically configured to fill
up the DSL payload with the maximum possible Ethernet packets. This mode is
very usefull when the Watson Ethernet tabletop modem is connected to the Wat-
son Ethernet plug-in modem.
CONFIG
Displays the current configuration of DSL and Ethernet ports. Cf. 7.2.3.
FDX mode
Ethernet interface operating mode. Possible values for mode:
AUTO Auto negotiation (factory default)
10H 10 Mbps half duplex mode
10F 10 Mbps full duplex mode
100H 100 Mbps half duplex mode
100F 100 Mbps full duplex mode
FLOW AUTO | ON | OFF
Ethernet flow control:
AUTO Auto negotiation
ON flow control enabled
OFF flow control disabled
Flow control is implemented with PAUSE frames in full duplex mode and by
backpressure (forcing collisions) in half duplex mode.
