2.4.3 Ethernet Port Configuration Menu

The transceiver allows for special control of the Ethernet interface, to
allow traffic awareness and availability of the backhaul network for
redundancy.
NOTE: The Ethernet port in iNET and iNET-II radios support
10BaseT connections only. This should not present a problem
because most hubs/switches auto-switch between 10BaseT
and 100BaseT connections. Confirm that your hub/switch is
capable of auto-switching data rates.
To prevent Ethernet traffic from degrading performance, place
the transceiver in a segment, or behind routers.
