LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Port

This is the port index number.

Index numbers 1 to 4 refer to the Ethernet ports.

VDSL

refers to the VDSL port.

Active

Select this check box to enable a port. The factory default for all ports is enabled. A

port must be enabled for data transmission to occur.

Type

This field displays

10/100M

for all port connection.

Speed / Duplex

Select the speed and the duplex mode of the Ethernet connection on this port.

Select

Auto

,

10M/Half Duplex

,

10M/Full Duplex

,

100M/Half Duplex

or

100M/Full

Duplex

.

Selecting

Auto

(auto-negotiation) allows one port to negotiate with a peer port

automatically to obtain the connection speed and duplex mode that both ends support.

When auto-negotiation is turned on, a port on the Prestige negotiates with the peer

automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer port

does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the Prestige determines the

connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode.

When the Prestige’s auto-negotiation is turned off, a port uses the pre-configured

speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure

that the settings of the peer port are the same in order to connect.

Flow Control

A concentration of traffic on a port decreases port bandwidth and overflows buffer

memory causing packet discards and frame losses.

Flow Control

is used to regulate

transmission of signals to match the bandwidth of the receiving port.

The Prestige uses IEEE802.3x flow control in full duplex mode and backpressure flow

control in half duplex mode.

IEEE802.3x flow control is used in full duplex mode to send a pause signal to the

sending port, causing it to temporarily stop sending signals when the receiving port

memory buffers fill.

Back Pressure flow control is typically used in half duplex mode to send a "collision"

signal to the sending port (mimicking a state of packet collision) causing the sending

port to temporarily stop sending signals and resend later. Select

Flow Control

to

enable it.

802.1p Priority

This priority value is added to incoming frames without a (802.1p) priority queue tag.

See

Priority Queue Assignment

in

Table 10 on page 38
