Configuration Tips
This section describes common issues and how to avoid them.
Ethernet Port Configuration
For RJ-45 ports, it is recommended to enable Auto-Negotiation for both the local port and its peer in order to
obtain optimal performance.
For SFP ports, it is recommended to disable Auto-Negotiation.
see Configuring Ethernet interfaces.
Admin Status of Second Radio Interface
If the PTP 820F is connected to a single-carrier RFU, or if the second carrier of a MultiCore RFU is not in use, you
should set the
Admin status
field of the second Radio interface (Port 2) to
Down
to disable the Radio interface and
prevent unnecessary alarms.
See Enabling the Interfaces (Interface Manager)
SyncE Interface Configuration
When configuring a Sync source or outgoing clock on an Ethernet interface, the Media Type of the interface must
be RJ-45 or SFP, not Auto-Type.
In-Band Management
In order to use in-band management with an external switch, it must be supported on the external switch.
When configuring in-band management, be sure to tag the management traffic to avoid overflow of the CPU.
For instructions on configuring in-band management on the PTP 820, see
Configuring In-Band Management
Link Aggregation (LAG)
If you are configuring LAG with an external switch, the switch must support LAG. For instructions on configuring
LAG, see
Configuring Link Aggregation (LAG) and LACP.
Software Upgrade
When upgrading software via HTTP, make sure the software package is
not
unzipped. For instructions, see
Configuration Management and Backup Restoration
Configuration files can only be copied to the same PTP 820 hardware type with the same part number as the unit
from which they were originally saved. For example, an PTP 820G configuration file can only be restored to an PTP
820G with the same part number as the unit from which it was saved. See
