Full Duplex:
Full Duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both
directions on a signal carrier at the same time. For example, on a local area network with a
technology that has full duplex transmission; one workstation can be sending data on the line
while another workstation is receiving data.
Half Duplex:
Half Duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both
directions on a signal carrier, but not at the same time. For example, on a local area network
using a technology that has half duplex transmission, one workstation can send data on the
line and then immediately receive data on the line from the same direction in which data was
just transmitted.
MAC Address:
The Medium Access Control Layer (MAC) address is used to uniquely
identify the equipment on an Ethernet network.
IP Address:
Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family of Internet
protocols to uniquely this identify the unit on a network
Subnet Mask:
A subnet allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be segregated
based on a network configuration. By organizing hosts into logical groups, subnetting can
improve network security and performance.
Gateway IP Address:
The IP address of a computer on the current network that acts as a
gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance / exit to packets from / to other networks.
Wireless Link Status:
As the attribute name suggests, this displays the current status of the
wireless link. A state of ‘Up’ on a green background indicates that a Point-to-Point link is
established. A state of ‘Down’ on a red background indicates that the wireless link is not
established. If the link is down for an unknown reason the system administrator should first
consult the status webpage for a more detailed summary of the prevailing system diagnostics.
Target Receive Modulation Mode:
The target modulation mode is used by the wireless
subsystem to control the adaptive modulation algorithm. The mode is used by the PTP 400
Series Bridge as an upper limit. The system will not move to a high rate modulation mode
even if the signal / interference environment will support high rate modes.
Maximum Transmit Power:
The maximum Transmit Power the local wireless unit is
permitted to use to sustain a link.
Remote Transmit Maximum Power:
The maximum transmit power the remote wireless unit
is permitted to use to sustain a link.
