The Ethernet IP Speed/Mode must be set to match the Ethernet port settings of
the connected device port or there will be a significant performance degradation.
For example, if the connected device port is set for auto negotiate then the IP
Module must also be set to auto negotiate. It is recommended to use auto
negotiate mode unless the connected device port does not support auto
negotiate. In that case, both Ethernet ports must be set to the same Manual
settings (i.e. 100 Mbps Full Duplex).
The Ethernet Interface page contains the following options/fields
Selection Entry Description
MAC Address [RO] This hardware destination MAC Address is used when an Ethernet
packet is destined for the IP Module Traffic Ethernet Interface. This
address is unique and has been assigned permanently at the factory.
Speed/Mode E The Ethernet Speed Mode is a configurable parameter and thus its
exact setting can vary between specific installations. The default setting
allows the Ethernet port to auto negotiate its link speed on power-up.
Selections are:
1 – Auto
2 – 10 MB/sec Half Duplex
3 – 100 MB/sec Half Duplex
4 – 10 MB/sec Full Duplex
5 – 100 MB/sec Full Duplex
IP Address I This is the IP Address assigned to the Ethernet Traffic Interface.
Enter the IP address in aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd format
Subnet Prefix Length M Specifies the Subnet Mask assigned to the Ethernet Traffic Interface.
Enter the subnet mask prefix length (8...30)
Link Status [RO] Displays the current Link Status of the IP Module Traffic port
