Use the Ethernet Port Timeout drop-down menu to define how the access point interprets

inactivity for the LAN assigned to the Ethernet port. When Enabled is selected, the access

point uses the value defined in the Sec. box (default is 30 seconds). Selecting Disabled

allows the LAN to use the Ethernet port for an indefinite timeout period. Select the

Hardware Detect option to use the physical LAN port to detect activity. If the LAN port does

not detect a physical connection, the radio is unavailable to the access point.

4. Refer to the 802.1x Port Authentication field if using port authentication over the access

point’s LAN port.

The access point only supports 802.1x authentication over its LAN port. The access point

behaves as an 802.1x supplicant to authenticate to a server on the network. If using

802.1x authentication, enter the authentication server user name and password. The

default password is “admin123.” For information on enabling and configuring

authentication schemes on the access point, see Enabling Authentication and Encryption

Schemes on page 6-192.

5. Use the Port Settings field to define how the access point manages throughput over the LAN

port.

6. Click Apply to save any changes to the LAN Configuration screen. Navigating away from the

screen without clicking the Apply button results in all changes to the screen being lost if the

prompts are ignored.

7. Cli ck Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the

settings displayed on the LAN configuration screen to the last saved configuration.

8. Click Logout to securely exit the Mobility 7131 Access Point Access Point applet. A prompt

displays confirming the logout before the applet is closed.

Auto Negotiation Select the Auto Negotiation checkbox to enable the access point to automatically exchange

information (over its LAN port) about data transmission speed and duplex capabilities.

Auto negotiation is helpful when using the access point in an environment where different

devices are connected and disconnected on a regular basis.

Selecting Auto Negotiate disables the Mbps and duplex checkbox options.

1000 Mbps Select this option to establish a 1000 Mbps data transfer rate for the selected half duplex or full

duplex transmission over the access point’s LAN port. This option is not available if Auto

Negotiation is selected.

100 Mbps Select this option to establish a 100 Mbps data transfer rate for the selected half duplex or full

duplex transmission over the access point’s LAN port. This option is not available if Auto

Negotiation is selected.

10 Mbps Select this option to establish a 10 Mbps data transfer rate for the selected half duplex or full

duplex transmission over the access point’s LAN port. This option is not available if Auto

Negotiation is selected.

half duplex Select this option to transmit data to and from the access point, but not at the same time. Using

a half duplex transmission, the access point can send data over its LAN port then immediately

receive data from the same direction in which the data was transmitted. Like a full-duplex

transmission, a half-duplex transmission can carry data in both directions, just not at the same

time.

full duplex Select this option to transmit data to and from the access point at the same time. Using full

duplex, the access point can send data over its LAN port while receiving data as well.
