The
Advanced
tab handles advanced wireless and Ethernet
settings. These settings should not be changed unless
you know the effects the changes will have on the airFiber
AF24.

Advanced Wireless Settings
GPS Clock Synchronization
The airFiber uses GPS to
synchronize the timing of its transmissions. By default, this
option is disabled.
Advanced Ethernet Settings
CONFIG Speed
This is the speed of the
CONFIG
port.
By default, the option is
Auto.
The airFiber AF24
automatically negotiates transmission parameters, such as
speed and duplex, with its counterpart. In this process, the
networked devices first share their capabilities and then
choose the fastest transmission mode they both support.
To manually specify the maximum transmission link
speed and duplex mode, select one of the following
options:
100 Mbps‑Full
,
100 Mbps-Half
,
10 Mbps‑Full
,
or
10 Mbps-Half.
If you are running extra long Ethernet
cables, a link speed of
10
Mbps could help to achieve
better stability.
Full-duplex mode allows communication in both
directions simultaneously. Half-duplex mode allows
communication in one direction at a time, alternating
between transmission and reception.
DATA Speed
This is the speed of the
DATA
port.
By default, the option is
Auto.

To achieve full
performance with extra-long Ethernet cables, ensure that
you use CAT6 qualified cables and interconnects.
