Wireless LAN Array
Configuring the XS-3900 69
Procedure for Configuring the Network Interfaces
1. Configure the Fast Ethernet, Gigabit 1 and Gigabit 2 network interfaces.
The fields for each of these interfaces are the same, and include:
a. MAC Address: This field shows the MAC address for this array. The
MAC (hardware) address is used to identify the Xirrus array to the
wired network. The MAC address is a static value and cannot be
changed.
b. Enable Interface: Choose Yes to enable this network interface (Fast
Ethernet, Gigabit 1 or Gigabit 2), or choose No to disable the
interface.
c. Allow Management on Interface: Choose Yes to allow management
of this array via the selected network interface, or choose No to deny
all management privileges for this interface.
d. Auto Negotiate: This feature allows the array to negotiate the best
transmission rates automatically. Choose Yes to enable this feature,
or choose No to disable this feature—the default is enabled. If you
disable the Auto Negotiate feature, you must define the Duplex and
Speed options manually (otherwise these options are not available).
z Duplex: Full-duplex refers to the transmission of data in two
directions simultaneously (for example, a telephone is a full-
duplex device because both parties can talk and be heard at
the same time). In contrast, half-duplex allows data
transmission in one direction at a time only (for example, a
walkie-talkie is a half-duplex device because it allows only
one party to talk at any one time). If the Auto-Negotiate
feature is disabled, you can manually choose Half or Full
duplex for your data transmission preference.
z Speed: If the Auto-Negotiate feature is disabled, you can
manually choose the desired data transmission speed from
the pull-down list, either Fast Ethernet or Gigabit.
