Speed

clicked. Automatic,
Auto 100 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10Mbps. This allows the Ethernet
interface of the encoder to be manually forced to 10 or 100 Mbps.
Automatic is the default and recommended setting. Automatic
enables auto negotiation and the encoder will automatically
match its speed setting to the speed of the switch or hub to which
it is attached. Automatic can resolve up to 1GB depending on
your network. Auto 100 Mbps is similar to Automatic except the
encoder does not advertise 1GB.
The settings for Network Interface Speed and Network Interface
Type are interdependent. They must both be set to Automatic or
they must both be set manually. Manual settings should be used
only in the rare case when the encoder is attached to network
equipment that does not support auto negotiation. The encoder's
capabilities will be limited when its Ethernet link is at 10 Mbps
and/or Half Duplex. If auto negotiation fails, the encoder
defaults to 100 Mbps, Full Duplex, and attempts "parallel
detection," an alternative way to sense speed. Status parameters
are available on the Monitor > Monitor the Network page to
indicate the state of the link and the current configuration of the
Ethernet hardware. In auto mode, they reflect the results of the
negotiation and in manual mode they follow the configuration
options.
Network Interface Type Displayed when
Show advanced settings
clicked. Half Duplex,
Full-Duplex, or Automatic. This allows the Ethernet interface of
the encoder to be manually forced to Half or Full Duplex. The
default setting is Automatic which enables auto negotiation in the
encoder so it will automatically match its duplex setting to that of
the switch or hub that it is attached to. Automatic is the default
and recommended setting.
The settings for Network Interface
Speed and Network Interface Type are interdependent. See the
description of Network Interface Speed above.
Maximum Transmission
Unit Size
Displayed when
Show advanced settings
clicked. Range 1024–
1500 (default = 1500). The MTU is used for all network traffic
from the encoder and defines the largest network packet size that
will be transmitted. A higher MTU brings higher bandwidth
efficiency and VBrick recommends using the default. However
you may wish to reduce MTU size to meet the requirements of
some networks with VPN or other security tunnels that cannot
tolerate 1500-byte packets.
