3 Use the Port Settings field to define how the Access Point manages throughput over the WAN port.
4 Configure the PPP over Ethernet field to enable high speed dial-up connections to the access point
WAN port.
More IP Addresses Click the More IP Addresses button to specify additional
static IP addresses for the access point. Additional IP
addresses are required when users within the WAN need
dedicated IP addresses, or when servers need to be
accessed (addressed) by the outside world. The More IP
Addresses screen allows the administrator to enter up to
seven additional WAN IP addresses for the access point
WAN. Only numeric, non-DNS names can be used.
If PPP over Ethernet is enabled from within the WAN
screen, the
VPN WAN IP Configuration portion of the More
IP Addresses screen is enabled. Enter the IP address and
subnet mask used to provide the PPPoE connection over
the Access Point’s WAN port. Ensure the IP address is a
numerical (non DNS) name.
Refresh Click the Refresh button to update the network address
information displayed within the WAN IP Configuration
field.
Auto Negotiation Select the Auto Negotiation checkbox to enable the
Access Point to automatically exchange information (over
its WAN port) about data transmission speed and duplex
capabilities.
Auto negotiation is helpful when using the Access Point in
an environment where different devices are connected and
disconnected on a regular basis.
Selecting Auto Negotiate disables the Mbps and duplex
checkbox options.
1000 Mbps Select this option to establish a 1000 Mbps data transfer
rate for the selected half duplex or full duplex transmission
over the Access Point’s LAN port. This option is not
available if Auto Negotiation is selected.
100 Mbps Select this option to establish a 100 Mbps data transfer
rate for the selected half duplex or full duplex transmission
over the Access Point’s WAN port. This option is not
available if Auto Negotiation is selected.
10 Mbps Select this option to establish a 10 Mbps data transfer rate
for the selected half duplex or full duplex transmission over
the Access Point’s WAN port. This option is not available if
Auto Negotiation is selected.
half duplex Select this option to transmit data to and from the Access
Point, but not at the same time. Using a half duplex
transmission, the Access Point can send data over its
WAN port then immediately receive data from the same
direction in which the data was transmitted. Like a full-
duplex transmission, a half-duplex transmission can carry
data in both directions, just not at the same time.
full duplex Select this option to transmit data to and from the Access
Point at the same time. Using full duplex, the Access Point
can send data over its WAN port while receiving data as
well.
