ETHERNET (PHY)
Ethernet (PHY) is the sixth (right-most) tab of the LAN Settings page. To navigate to this tab, select LAN Settings form
the main menu and click Ethernet (PHY). PHY is an abbreviation for the physical layer of the OSI model. (For this reason
an Ethernet transceiver is often called a PHYceiver. It is a component that operates at the physical layer of the OSI
network model.) This tab contains settings for configuration or negotiation of physical bitrate and duplex mode of the
Viper SC+ Ethernet interface.
Figure 49 – Ethernet (PHY)
PHY Bitrate
Select whether the bitrate of the transceiver will auto-negotiate or be set constant at 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps.
Auto Negotiate
– Let the Ethernet interface determine the best speed based on the device facing it.
Force to 100 Mbps
– Manually configure the speed of the Ethernet interface to 100 Mbps.
Force to 10 Mbps
– Manually configure the speed of the Ethernet interface to 10 Mbps.
Only one of these three options may be selected, as they are mutually exclusive.
PHY Duplex
Select whether the duplex mode of the transceiver will auto-negotiate or be set to Full- or Half-Duplex.
– Auto Negotiate: Let the Ethernet interface determine the best mode based on the device facing it.
– Full Duplex: Manually configure the mode of the Ethernet interface to Full duplex.
– Half Duplex: Manually configure the mode of the Ethernet interface to Half duplex.
Only one of these three options may be selected, as they are mutually exclusive.
