Figure 4-3 IP Configuration screen The page includes the following configurable data: IP Address - The IP address of the interface. The factory default value is 192.168.0.100 Subnet Mask - The IP subnet mask for the interface. The factory default value is 255.255.255.0 Gateway - The default gateway for the IP interface. The factory default value is 192.168.0.
4.2.3 Password Setting This function provides administrator to secure Web login. The screen in Figure 4-4 appears. Figure 4-4 Password Setting screen The page includes the following configurable data: Login Name Displays the user name. Old Password Enter the old password is required before entering the new password New Password Specifies the new password. The password is not displayed. As it entered an “y” corresponding to each character is displayed in the field.
4.3 Port Configuration This function allows displaying each port’s status. The Link Status in the screen displays the current connection speed and duplex mode; else this function will show down when the port is disconnected. Press the “Refresh” button to renew the screen. The screen in Figure 4-5 appears.
Default value: No Limit The Ingress Rate Limit configuration field as show in Figure 4-6. • Egress Shaping The value of outbound traffic limitation in kilobit-per-second (kbps). The possible values are : • No Limit • 512K • 1M • 2M • 4M • 8M • 10M • 50M Default value : No Limit The Egress Shaping configuration field as show in Figure 4-7. #Note: When set each port to run at 100M Full, 100M Half, 10M Full, and 10M Half-speed modes.

4.4 Converter Configuration This page allows setup Management Port, Loop Back Reply, Broadcast Storm Control, Class of Services and LLR Mode. Press the “Apply” button to take affect. The screen in Figure 4-8 appears. Figure 4-8 Converter Configuration screen The page includes the following fields: • Management Port Allow to filter the Web management packets for this converter by income port.
• First In First Out • Strict Priority • Weighted Round Robin • WRR Priority (High: Low) This field is available when choose Weighted Round Robin as Class of Service schedule. It indicates that traffic output ration of high priority and low priority. The possible field values are: • 1:1 • 2:1 • 4:1 • 8:1 • LLR Mode To enable or disable the LLR (Link Loss Return) function of the device.
When multiple CoS schemes are enabled, the data packet is treated as the high priority as long as any one of three CoS schemes is mapped to “high”. Take the following example for detail explanation. If a port is set as a low priority port, when it receives a packet, which embeds with high priority VLAN tag, this packet will be forwarded as a high priority packet. In the other words, the priority of a packet would be set to high if any of two CoS schemes is interpreted as the high priority.
