Duplex Identifies the connection duplex mode:
Full duplex
Both devices can send data to each other at
the same time
Half duplex
Only one device can send to the other at a
time
The duplex setting must match that of the device to
which this port is connected.
You only need to select this option if you have
chosen manual Ethernet settings, as described
above.
Ethernet status
Field Field description Usage tips
Link status Indicates whether this Ethernet port is connected to
or disconnected from the network.
Speed Shows the speed (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) of the
network connection to the IP VCR on this port.
This value is negotiated with the device to which
this port is connected or based on your manual
configuration, depending on the settings you chose
above.
Duplex Shows the duplex mode (full/half duplex) of the
network connection to this port.
This value is negotiated with the device to which
this port is connected or based on your manual
configuration, depending on the settings you chose
above.
MAC address Shows the fixed hardware MAC (Media Access
Control) address of this port.
This value cannot be changed and is for information
only.
Packets sent Displays a count of the total number of packets sent
from this port by the IP VCR. This includes all TCP
and UDP traffic.
When troubleshooting connectivity issues, this
information can help you confirm that the unit is
transmitting packets into the network.
