Ethernet Loopback
Mode
Sets a temporary loopback between the selected ports. The
loopback is disabled on a reboot. This mode is provided to allow
access to a device connected to the local ODU Aux port via either
the main PSU or SFP port. Loopback does not work with jumbo
frames: the maximum frame size is 1536 bytes in loopback.
Data Port Wireless
Down Alert
Disabled: The data Ethernet link will not be dropped when the
wireless link drops.
Enabled: The Data Ethernet link will be dropped briefly when the
wireless link drops. This signals to the connected network
equipment that this link is no longer available. Connected Ethernet
switches can be configured to forward Ethernet frames on an
alternative path identified using the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
When TDM is enabled, the link is dropped briefly at the NIDU LAN
port, and not at the ODU.
Second Data Port
Wireless Down Alert
Disabled: The Second Data Ethernet link will not be dropped when
the wireless link drops.
Enabled: The Second Data Ethernet link will be dropped briefly
when the wireless link drops. This signals to the connected
network equipment that this link is no longer available. Connected
Ethernet switches can be configured to forward Ethernet frames
on an alternative path identified using the Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP).
When TDM is enabled, the link is dropped briefly at the NIDU LAN
port, and not at the ODU.
