
Alarm on Link Loss: If set to Yes , the card will raise an alarm if this Ethernet interface
loses link. The Card State indicator in Dashboard™ and the front Status LED will both
be red. If set to
No , the card will still report loss of link in the Statistics page but no
alarm will be raised. It is recommended that the alarm for ports that are in use be turned
on; only turn it off if you do not plan to connect that port to a network.

IP Configuration: Select Static or DHCP method for configuration. If Static is
selected, the following options are displayed:
o IP Address: Enter the desired IP address for this Ethernet port.
o Subnet Mask: Enter the desired subnet mask for this Ethernet port.
o Default Gateway: Enter the desired default gateway for this Ethernet port, or
0.0.0.0 if no gateway is available.

Interface speed: Configures the speed of the interface. The 9992-ENC Ethernet
interfaces only support two modes: 100 Mb/s Full-Duplex and 1 Gb/s Full-Duplex 4 .
o Auto-Negotiate: The Ethernet port will auto-negotiate the speed.
o 100 Mb/s Full-Duplex: Force the port to 100Mb/s Full-Duplex mode. Note that
the port will still perform auto-negotiation, but it will only advertise this mode.
o 1Gb/s Full-Duplex: restrict the operation to 1Gb/s Full-Duplex mode. Note that
the port will still perform auto-negotiation, but it will only advertise this mode.
Notes:
o If the 9992-ENC streaming Ethernet interfaces are connected, to a 10 Mb/s
switch, hub, or network feed, link will
not be established and the port will not
recognize the connection.
o If you select 100 Mb/s Full-Duplex or 1 Gb/s Full-Duplex and the
corresponding streaming Ethernet interface is connected to a switch, hub or
network feed that does not support the selected speed, link will
not be established
and the port will not recognize the connection.
o If the interface speed is set to Auto-Negotiate , the streaming Ethernet port will
allow link to be established in 100 Mb/s Half-Duplex mode. However, this will
be flagged as a warning.

Interface Settings: If you make any changes to the IP Configuration, IP Address, Subnet
Mask and/or Default Encoder fields, the Apply and Cancel buttons become active. The
changes only take effect when you press the Apply button. Pressing the Cancel button
reverts the fields back to their original values.
Note that the 9992-ENC will check the consistency of the data entered and will reject
invalid combinations (i.e., combinations where the gateway is outside the interface
subnet).
Once the Apply button is pressed, a confirm message appears, click Yes to apply setting or
No .
4 Support for 10 Mb/s and Half-Duplex modes are not offered, as these are unsuitable for MPEG transport over IP
applications. Moreover, any modern switch supports at least 100 Mb/s Full-Duplex.
