The Quad Ethernet Switch module provides the capability to individually disable interfaces on the module.
Selecting
D
ISABLE
from the
P

menu disables the port, stopping all data passing through the interface.

UPLEX
Defines the speed and duplex for the selected Ethernet interface. Available options are:
100/FDX
(100 Mbps
with full-duplex operation),
100/HDX
(100 Mbps with half-duplex operation),
10/FDX
(10 Mbps with
full-duplex operation), and
10/HDX
(10 Mbps with half-duplex operation), and
A
UTO
(automatically detects
speed and duplex of the connection). The speed and duplex settings of the TRACER Ethernet port and the
attached Ethernet equipment should be identical; if the TRACER is set to auto-negotiation, the attached
equipment should also be set for auto-negotiation.When the
S
PEED
/D
UPLEX
is manually set, 802.3u
auto-negotiation is disabled; the Ethernet equipment connected to the manual port must be manually set to
the same speed/duplex settings. When set to
A
UTO
, the actual negotiated speed and duplex of the system can
be displayed on the Ethernet Switch Status page.

Figure 28 shows the Ethernet Switch Status menu page, which displays the current speed and duplex
operation for each switch interface (on both the local and remote TRACER systems) as well as transmit and
receive data statistics for the Ethernet interface (from both the local and remote TRACER systems) and RF
link.

ACKETS
Displays a counter of all data packets transmitted out the local and remote TRACER Ethernet interfaces. Use
this data as an indicator of how many packets are being transmitted between the four Ethernet interfaces
versus over the wireless link (WAN stats). The WAN statistics (Ethernet packets transmitted over the RF
link) provide a quick way to determine Ethernet packet loss over the wireless link; the

ROPPED
Displays a counter of all transmit data packets that were unable to be transmitted out the individual Ethernet
interfaces (for both the local and remote TRACER units). Use this data as an indicator of congestion on the
Ethernet network segments. Dropped packets on the WAN interface can indicate that the provisioned
bandwidth for the switch module is insufficient.
