Chapter 6. Menu Options

Enable SSH access

Set this option to allow accessing the B050-000 using the Secure Shell (SSH) pro- tocol. Ths SSH console offers the same features as Telnet (see the Section called Telnet Console), but uses a secure, encrypted connection instead.

Disable Setup Protocol

Enable this option to exclude the B050-000 from the setup protocol.

LAN Interface Settings

This entry field displays the current settings for the Ethernet/LAN interface of the B050-000. You may choose between auto negotiation and a fixed setting for the Eth- ernet transceiver settings “interface speed” and “duplex mode” in case auto negotia- tion does not work correctly.

LAN interface speed

Depending on your network connection you may select an according speed value for this interface. To adjust the interface automatically choose “autodetect” (default value). If this selection results in misbehaviour of the interface, choose one of other speed options to work with. The interface will transmit and receive data with that fixed speed.

LAN interface duplex mode

If necessary you may also select a specific duplex mode. The default value is set to “autodetect” which leads to an automatic setting of the duplex mode depend- ing on your network (recommended). As an alternative you may explicitly set the interface to either “half duplex” or “full duplex” mode.

These settings may also be configured via serial console. See the Section called Initial Configuration via Serial Console in Chapter 4 for details.
