ASMi-52 Ver. 2.5 Configuring ASMi-52 for Management 4-7
Configuring the LAN Port
ASMi-52 includes a 10/100BaseT port that can be used as a user or management
port. The LAN port operates in a self-learning bridge or transparent mode, with or
without autonegotiation.
If the LAN port serves as a management port only, it operates in transparent mode
with autonegotiation enabled.

Configuring the LAN Port Operation Mode

In the transparent mode, the LAN port operates with a disabled filter, passing all
frames transparently. When operating as a self-learning bridge, the LAN port filters
the packets received from the local LAN and transfers through the link only frames
destined for another LAN.
To configure the LAN operation mode:
1. From the Operation Mode menu, select the Bridging Mode option (Main
menu > Configuration > LAN Configuration > Local LAN Configuration >
Bridging Mode) to enable bridge mode.
If LAN interface is used for data, the Operation Mode is set to Bridge. If Ethernet is
used for management purposes only, then the Operation Mode is permanently set
to Transparent.
The LAN Configuration menu appears.
2. From the LAN Configuration menu, select Save to save your changes.

If autonegotiation is enabled, the maximum autonegotiation capability rate is
100BaseT full duplex mode. If autonegotiation is disabled, it is called default type
or 10BaseT.
