ET100 LAN-WAN Bridge
12
When the ET100 leaves the factory, all DIP switch settings are set to
the OFF position.
Filter:
When this feature is disabled, all frames are passed transparently.
In this configuration, the ET100 acts as a repeater. When the filter is
enabled, frame destinations are tested against the internal MAC address
table. Filtering enabled is the normal selection for Bridging.
Auto-negotiation:
When this feature is enabled (SW2-5=OFF), the Duplex (SW2-6)
and Speed (SW2-7) settings are ignored and are automatically
determined from the LAN connection. When this feature is disabled,
the Duplex and Speed settings of the LAN follow the settings of SW2-6
and SW2-7.
Packet Buffer Utilization:
The ET100 contains a 340 packet buffering capacity. When
SW2-8 is OFF, this buffer is divided equally between LAN to WAN and
WAN to LAN packet traffic. When the LAN is Fast Ethernet and the
WAN connection is slow, the buffer may be better utilized by applying a
greater portion to the LAN to WAN packet traffic. In this case, set
SW2-8 to ON. This will provide a 9 to 1 buffer division for LAN to
WAN versus WAN to LAN buffer and should increase utilization.
