More IP Addresses

Click the More IP Addresses button to specify additional static IP
addresses for the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point.
Additional IP addresses are required when users within the WAN
need dedicated IP addresses, or when servers need to be
accessed (addressed) by the outside world. The More IP
Addresses screen allows the administrator to enter up to seven
additional WAN IP addresses for the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR
Access Point WAN. Only numeric, non-DNS names can be used.
If PPP over Ethernet is enabled from within the WAN screen, the
VPN WAN IP Configuration portion of the More IP Addresses
screen is enabled. Enter the IP address and subnet mask used to
provide the PPPoE connection over the access point’s WAN port.
Ensure the IP address is a numerical (non DNS) name.

Refresh

Click the Refresh button to update the network address
information displayed within the WAN IP Configuration field.

Auto Negotiation

Select the Auto Negotiation checkbox to enable the access point
to automatically exchange information (over its WAN port) about
data transmission speed and duplex capabilities.
Auto negotiation is helpful when using the access point in an
environment where different devices are connected and
disconnected on a regular basis.
Selecting Auto Negotiate disables the Mbps and duplex checkbox
options.

1000 Mbps

Select this option to establish a 1000 Mbps data transfer rate for
the selected half duplex or full duplex transmission over the
access point’s WAN port. This option is not available if Auto
Negotiation is selected.

100 Mbps

Select this option to establish a 100 Mbps data transfer rate for
the selected half duplex or full duplex transmission over the
access point’s WAN port. This option is not available if Auto
Negotiation is selected.

10 Mbps

Select this option to establish a 10 Mbps data transfer rate for the
selected half duplex or full duplex transmission over the access
point’s WAN port. This option is not available if Auto Negotiation is
selected.

half duplex

Select this option to transmit data to and from the access point,
but not at the same time. Using a half duplex transmission, the
access point can send data over its WAN port then immediately
receive data from the same direction in which the data was
transmitted. Like a full-duplex transmission, a half-duplex
transmission can carry data in both directions, just not at the
same time.

full duplex

Select this option to transmit data to and from the access point at
the same time. Using full duplex, the access point can send data
over its WAN port while receiving data as well.
