Original Network ID:
Enter the desired Original Network ID. For applications
where Network IDs have not been assigned, leave this field at 0xFF01.
If the Advanced View is selected, four more parameters are available for configuration:
Advanced
Parameters
TOS:
This parameter allows the configuration of the Type-Of-Service (TOS) byte in the
IP header (also known as the Differentiated Services – DS – field). Valid values are
between 0 and 255. Configuring this is only useful if the downstream router is
configured to honor the field.
TTL:
This parameter allows the configuration of the Time-To-Live (TTL) byte in the IP
header. Valid values are between 0 and 255. If not explicitly configured, it defaults to
128. This field controls how many hops the packet can traverse before it is dropped by a
router. The default value of 128 is suitable for virtually all applications.
DF Bit:
This parameter allows the configuration of the Do-not-Fragment (DF) bit in the
IP header. The MVN-XC440 will never produce fragmented packets, and with the UDP
payload set to 7 transport packets, the IP packets are guaranteed to fit inside the Ethernet
MTU. This control is provided for compatibility with legacy switches/routers. Some
legacy equipment may exhibit performance problems if this bit is not set. This is not an
issue with current network equipment.
