WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 4 Configuration
• Bridge Mode – In Bridge mode the ODU performs both learning and
aging, the aging time of the ODU is fixed at 300 seconds.
Changing these modes requires system reset.
Note
IDU Aging time
This parameter controls the IDU aging time.
The IDU has a 2047 MAC address-learning table. The aging time
parameter controls the time each MAC address is dropped from the
table.
Default value is 300 seconds.
Any change to these parameters is effective immediately.
Each side of the link can be configured separately.
The following list details common configurations; both sides are must
be configured with the same parameter.
Notes
• Standard (Default) Configuration for Ethernet Applications
Set IDU aging to 300 seconds, ODU set to Bridge mode,
Figure 4-17 .
• Fast aging mode – for rapid network topology changes
Set IDU aging to one second, ODU set to Hub mode.
• Hub Mode
The ODU is set to HUB mode. IDU aging is not applicable.
• Ethernet Bridge
The ODU is set to Bridge mode. The IDU aging is not applicable.
4.11 Configuring Ethernet Mode
The Ethernet mode is configurable for line speed (10/100BaseT) and
duplex mode (half or full duplex). WinLink1000 provides an Auto
detect feature where the line speed and duplex mode are detected
automatically using autonegotiation. Use the manual configuration
when external equipment does not support autonegotiation. The
default setting is Auto Detect. (See
Figure 4-17 )
It is not recommended to configure the port that i used for the
management connection, since a wrong configuration can cause
management disconnection or Ethernet services interruption.
