 Interface speed: Configures the speed of the interface. The B264 streaming Ethernet
interfaces only support two manual modes: 100 Mb/s Full-Duplex and 1 Gb/s Full-
Duplex

.
o Auto-Negotiate: The Ethernet port will auto-negotiate the speed.
o 100 Mb/s Full-Duplex: Force the port to 100Mb/s Full-Duplex mode. Note that
the port will still perform auto-negotiation, but it will only advertise this mode.
o 1Gb/s Full-Duplex: restrict the operation to 1Gb/s Full-Duplex mode. Note that
the port will still perform auto-negotiation, but it will only advertise this mode.
Notes:
o If the B264 streaming Ethernet interfaces are connected to a 10 Mb/s switch, hub,
or network feed, link will not be established and the port will not recognize the
connection.
o If you select 100 Mb/s Full-Duplex or 1 Gb/s Full-Duplex and the
corresponding streaming Ethernet interface is connected to a switch, hub or
network feed that does not support the selected speed, link will not be established
and the port will not recognize the connection.
o If the interface speed is set to Auto-Negotiate, the streaming Ethernet port will
allow link to be established in 100 Mb/s Half-Duplex mode. However, this will
be flagged as a warning in the Network Statistics Interface Tab and in the Admin
Event Log Tab.
Network Configuration DNS Tab
The DNS tab allows manual configuration of up to two DNS servers. They do not need to be in
the same subnetwork as the streaming ports, as long as at least one default gateway is configured.
DNS is only used in conjunction with the RTMP output functionality. If you are not using
RTMP, there is no need to configure DNS servers.
DNS server configuration takes effect immediately, as soon as the information is entered.

Niagara Video has disabled support for 10 Mb/s modes, as these are unsuitable for MPEG transport over IP
applications. Moreover, any modern switch supports at least 100 Mb/s Full-Duplex.
