Port Selection
Ethernet Port selection is applicable to the 450m platform only with two
choices in the drop-down list:
 Main: A selection of main indicates that link connectivity and power
to the 450m is provided through the RF45 connection on the Main
port of the AP
 SFP: A selection of SFP indicates that link connectivity will be
provided through the SFP port on the 450m
Power continues to be provided via the RF45 Main portFrom the drop-
down list of options, select the type of link speed for the Ethernet
connection. The default for this parameter is that all speeds are selected:
Auto 100F/100H/10F/10H. In this setting, the two ends of the link
automatically negotiate with each other whether the speed that they will
use is 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and whether the Ethernet traffic is full
duplex or half duplex. However,137 Ethernet links work best when
either:
 both ends are set to the same forced selection
 both ends are set to auto-negotiate and both have capability in
least one common speed and traffic type combination.
Link Speeds
From the drop-down list of options, select the type of link speed for the
Ethernet connection. The Auto settings allow the two ends of the link to
automatically negotiate with each other the best possible speed, and
check whether the Ethernet traffic is full duplex or half duplex.
However, some Ethernet links work best when either:
 both ends are set to the same forced selection
 both ends are set to auto-negotiate and both have capability in least
one common speed and traffic type combination.
