Wireless Settings
GPS Clock Sync
The airFiber uses GPS to synchronize
the timing of its transmissions. By default, this option is
disabled.
DATA Port Ethernet Settings
DATA Speed
This is the speed of the
Data
port. By
default, the option is
Auto.
The airFiber AF-5 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.
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.
Flow Control
If enabled, the airFiber AF-5 generates and
responds to Ethernet layer PAUSE frames. The airFiber AF-5
regulates inbound traffic from the customer’s network
to avoid buffer overflows within the airFiber AF-5. Flow
