Configuring the Ethernet Settings
Many of the standard Ethernet settings are configured in the TCP/IP
Settings screen. For help, see Configuring the TCP/IP Settings on page
50. In the Ethernet Settings screen, you can
❑ Set the port type, if you have both an Ethernet port and a fiber
optic port. This field specifies the port that the access point uses
to communicate with the Ethernet network. If you do not have a
fiber optic port, you will not see this field.
❑ Set the link speed, if you chose the port type to be Ethernet. This
field specifies the speed and the duplex mode that the access
point uses to communicate with the Ethernet network. If you
chose the port type to be fiber optic, the link speed is
automatically set to 100 Mbps Fiber Optic. If you want the access
point to auto-negotiate this field, choose Auto Select. Auto Select
is the default setting and should work for most networks.
❑ Enable or disable the link status check. Enable this parameter if
you want the access point to periodically check its Ethernet
connection. If it loses the connection, this access point can no
longer be the root access point and any end devices that are
connected to this access point (whether or not it is the root) will
roam to a different access point. The access point will attempt to
reconnect to the spanning tree through one of its radio ports.
Disable this parameter if this access point must be the root access
point or if it is used as a WAP.
❑ Set the hello period, which defines how often the access point
sends out multicast hello packets so it can dynamically discover
and test connections to other routers on the network. Once this
information is learned, the access point and routers can exchange
routing information.
