• Static IP Netmask—The IPv4 local subnet mask. This field is
unnecessary if DHCP is enabled. [255.255.0.0]
• Static IP Gateway—The IPv4 address of the network gateway
device, typically a router. This field is unnecessary if DHCP is
enabled. [0.0.0.0]
The lower three items on the screen (Current IP Address, Net-
mask and Gateway) show the actual addressing at the trans-
ceiver whether it was obtained from static configuration or from
a DHCP server.
3.4.2 Ethernet Port Configuration Menu
The transceiver allows for special control of the Ethernet interface, to
allow traffic awareness and availability of the backhaul network for
redundancy purposes.
NOTE: The transceiver’s network port supports 10BaseT and
100BaseT connections. Confirm that your hub/switch is
capable of auto-switching data rates.
To prevent excessive Ethernet traffic from degrading perfor-
mance, place the transceiver in a segment, or behind routers.
