The default DS Tx Power value (-58 dBm/Hz) has been determined through testing to be the optimal value for maximum loop length. Increasing the DS Tx Power will increase the DS SNR but decrease the US SNR.

Enter the port number in the Configure Port:[ ] space. Enter a value (–90 dBm/Hz to –55 dBm/Hz) in the DS Tx Power:[ ] field. Highlight APPLY and press Enter to make the change effective.

Configure Spanning Tree Protocol

The Spanning Tree Protocol is used to prevent loops in a network in which alternative connections exist between switches. The Protocol Parameters allow you to change the behind the scene parameters of the Spanning Tree Protocol at the bridge level.

The user-changeable parameters in the Switch are as follows:

•Status:<Disabled> – Toggle to Enabled to implement the Spanning Tree Protocol on the Switch.

•Max Age: [20] – The Maximum Age can be set from 6 to 40 seconds. At the end of the Max Age, if a BPDU has still not been received from the Root Bridge, your Switch will start sending its own BPDU to
