IP Address: Internet protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family of Internet

protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network.

Subnet Mask: A subnet allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be segregated

based on a network configuration.

Gateway IP Address: The IP address of a computer / router on the current network that acts

as a gateway.

VLAN High Priority Traffic Threshold: All packets with an 802.1P priority tag greater than

or equal to the indicated value will be treated as a high priority packet for transmission over

the wireless link.

Use VLAN For Management Interfaces: This controls whether the management interfaces

(WWW/SNMP/SMTP/SNTP) use 802.1Q VLAN tags or not. See section 8.3.1.3.

Ethernet Auto Negotiation This enables the Ethernet configuration to be forced rather than

auto negotiated.

Warning: The configuration should only be forced if you are having problems with auto

negotiation. You must ensure that you configure both this unit and the Ethernet port to

which it is connected identically. If you force a fixed Ethernet Configuration on the 600

Series bridge then you MUST also force the same fixed configuration on the equipment

to which it is connected. If you fail to force the configuration of the connected

equipment, its automatic configuration mechanisms will normally cause a duplex

mismatch, and you will receive greatly reduced throughput!

When Ethernet Auto Negotiation is Disabled the format of the LAN configuration page will

change see Section 8.3.1.4LAN Configuration Page – Manual Ethernet Configuration”.

Auto Neg Advertisement: This controls the rates that the auto negotiation mechanism will

advertise as available. Warning: Over the air throughput will be capped to the rate of the

Ethernet interface at the receiving end of the link.

Ethernet Auto Mdix: This enables/disables the Auto Medium Dependent Interface

(MDI)/Medium Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) capability.

Drop Ethernet Link On Wireless Link Down: When this option is enabled the Ethernet link

is momentarily dropped when the wireless link goes down. This feature is used to indicate to

the connected network equipment that this Ethernet link is no longer available, thus causing

STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) to re-route packets through an alternate link.
