About this guide  
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage  
When starting to install interface cards place the interface card on its shielded plastic bag if you lay it on  
your bench.  
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic  
printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.  
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and  
replacing cards.  
CAUTION  
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good  
skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the  
chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages  
to ground.  
To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist  
strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is avail-  
able, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.  
General observations  
Clean the case with a soft slightly moist anti-static cloth  
Place the unit on a flat surface and ensure free air circulation  
Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight and other heat sources  
Protect the unit from moisture, vapors, and corrosive liquids

1 • General information  
Model 2160 overview  
The Patton CopperLink™ Model 2160 simplifies and provides cost effective network extension by utilizing  
pre-existing twisted pair infrastructure enables service providers to offer broadband or data backhaul services to  
businesses, governments, and various institutions over existing last-mile, copper infrastructure. Today, more  
than ever, operators are finding the business case for leveraging their existing copper networks to be highly  
attractive from an ROI and initial investment perspective over fiber roll-outs.  
Patton’s 2160 CopperLink Ethernet Extender incorporates multi-pair bonding to offer unmatched rate, reach  
and reliable Ethernet connectivity, providing symmetrical 22.8 Mbps of bandwidth over 4-pair (8-wire) at dis-  
tances up to 1.8 miles (2.9 km). The Model 2160 comes standard with a 4-port fast Ethernet switch with full  
QoS and CoS features. VLAN (802.1q) capabilities include 4 levels of priorities, traffic flow control, and rate  
control. These traffic management and QoS features enable service providers to provision for differentiated ser-  
vices and/or SLAs.

Patton’s CopperLink Auto-Rate Ethernet Extenders are the perfect fit for simple, cost-effective high speed  
Ethernet Extension. They allow customers to take advantage of the existing copper infrastructure to connect  
remote LAN’s across distances and at speeds previously unthought-of. The auto-rate feature ensures the highest  
speed is achieved on each connection, and the plug-n-play operation ensures they are up and running in sec-  
onds. Add in the 4 x auto-sensing full/half duplex 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports with the integrated crossover  
switch to make setup even easier. The value of these Ethernet Extenders can’t be beat!  
Auto-Rate Feature—The advanced auto-rate algorithm automatically determines the best possible rate for  
each connection and sets up each extender without any need for user interface.  
Plug-and-Play—Just unpack the extenders, plug them into each end of the extension, power them up, and  
they are up and running. It doesn’t get any easier!  
High Speed/Long Reach—These Ethernet Extenders provide the best combination of speed and distance  
seen anywhere in the industry!

Introduction  
The Model 2160 provides a browser interface that allows you to configure and manage the Ethernet Extender.  
Make sure that the PC you use for configuration has an Ethernet adapter and TCP/IP installed. After you set  
up the IP address for the 2160, you can access the Ethernet Extender's Web interface applications directly in  
your browser by entering the IP address. You can then use your Web browser to manage and configure the unit  
from a PC.  
Setting Up the WMI  
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web Management Interface (WMI). The WMI  
is an HTML-based management interface that allows you to easily set-up and manage the Model 2160.  
The Model 2160 offers all monitoring and management features that allow users to manage this Model 2160  
form anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Internet Explorer.  
TCP/IP setup  
When DHCP is enabled, the Model 2160 acts as a DHCP server in your network. The Model 2160 will auto-  
matically assign IP address for the management port connection.  
To set up TCP/IP on a Windows PC:  
1. Click the Start button. Select the Control Panel.  
2. Double-click on the Network icon.  
3. In the Configuration window, select the TCP/IP protocol line that has been associated with your network  
card and then click the property icon.  
4. Click on the IP address tab and select Obtain IP address automatically. Click OK.  
System Login  
You may use a web browser such as Internet Explorer on your PC to connect the Model 2160. Type “http://”  
and the IP address like as “http://192.168.1.1”.  
The default IP address and sub net-mask of the MGMT port of the Model 2160 are 192.168.1.1 and  
255.255.255.0. If DHCP is disabled, your PC can set the same net-mask such as 192.168.1.x where x is a  
number from 2 to 254.

2. For Operation Mode, select the radio button for CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) or CO (Central  
Office). When using a “LAN to LAN” connection, one side must be set as CO and the other side must be  
set as CPE.  
3. Enter information for the MGMT port. The Model 2160 requires an IP address to be managed over the  
network. The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1. The subnet mask specifies the network number  
portion of an IP address. The factory default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 . You can configure another IP  
address and a different subnet mask for management purposes.  
IP: 192.168.1.1  
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0  
Host Name: SOHO  
Some ISP providers require the Host Name as identification. You may check with your ISP to see if your  
Internet service has been configured with a host name. In most cases, you can ignore this field.  
4. Select an option for Trigger DHCP Service. If you don't need the DHCP service, select Disable.  
5. Click Next to commit your changes and continue to the DHCP Server page (see “DHCP server” on  
DHCP server  
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol that allows network adminis-  
trators to manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's net-  
work. Each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up  
the users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine.  
Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer. If computers move to another  
location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator  
supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a  
computer is plugged into a different place in the network. The embedded DHCP server assigns network con-

figuration information to 253 users (max) accessing the Internet in the same time. For example, if the LAN IP  
address is 192.168.0.1, the IP range of the LAN is 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.  
To set up the DHCP Server for the Model 2160:  
1. Click on Basic from the main menu, set up the Operation Mode and MGMT port, then click Next to  
reach the DHCP Server page.  
2. The DHCP server assigns the IP from the Start IP Address to the End IP Address. The legal IP address  
range is from 0 to 255, but 0 is reserved as the network name and 255 is reserved for broadcast. This  
implies that the legal IP address range is from 1 to 254. That means you cannot assign an IP greater than  
254 or less than 1.  
3. A Lease Time of 72 hours indicates that the DHCP server will reassign IP information every 72 hours.,  
which is the default value for the Model 2160. You can set up the Lease Time for a range from 1 to 720  
hours according to your application.  
4. If you assign a fixed IP address to a device while using DHCP, you must enter the device's MAC address in  
the Table of Fixed DHCP Host Entries.

For example, if you set the SNR margin is 5, the LINE connection will drop and reconnect when the SNR  
margin is lower than 5. On the other hand, the device will reduce the line rate and reconnect for better line  
connection quality. You may select the SNR margin from the range -10 to 21.  
Line Probe  
For adaptive mode applications, set the Line Probe to Enable. The Model 2160 will adapt the data rate accord-

VLAN  
Click on VLAN under Advanced on the main menu to reach the VLAN advanced configuration page.  
Figure 14. VLAN page  
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical net-  
works. Devices on a logical network belong to one group. A device can belong to more than one group. With  
VLAN, a device cannot directly talk to or hear from devices that are not in the same group.  
With MTU (Multi-Tenant Unit) applications, VLAN is vital in providing isolation and security among the  
subscribers. When properly configured, VLAN prevents one subscriber from accessing the network resources  
of another on the same LAN.  
VLAN also increases network performance by limiting broadcasts to a smaller and more manageable logical  
broadcast domain. In traditional switched environments, all broadcast packets go to each every individual port.  
With VLAN, all broadcasts are confined to a specific broadcast domain.  
You can select from two types of VLAN: 802.1Q Tag-Based VLAN and Port-Based VLAN. The VLAN Setup  
screen changes depending on whether you choose 802.1Q Tag-Based VLAN type or Port Based VLAN type.  
The IEEE 802.1Q defines the operation of VLAN bridges that permit the definition, operation, and adminis-  
tration of VLAN topologies within a bridged LAN infrastructure.  
Figure 15 on page 43 shows a diagram of possible VLAN connections.

Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) is a defined value of 8100 in hex. When a frame has the EtherType equal to  
8100, this frame carries the tag IEEE 802.1Q / 802.1P.  
User Priority defines the priority level for different classes of traffic. There are 8 possible priority levels, with  
0 being the lowest priority level and 7 being the highest level. IEEE 802.1P defines the operation for these  
3 user priority bits.  
Canonical Format Indicator (CFI) is always set to zero for Ethernet switches. CFI is used for compatibility  
reasons between an Ethernet-type network and Token Ring-type network. If a frame received at an Ethernet  
port has a CFI set to 1, then that frame should not be forwarded as it is to an untagged port.  
VLAN ID (VID) is the unique identification number of the VLAN, which is used by the standard 802.1Q.  
It has 12 bits and allows the identification of 4096 (212) VLANs. Of the 4096 possible VIDs, a VID of 0 is  
used to identify priority frames and the value 4095 (FFF) is reserved, so the maximum possible VLAN con-  
figurations are 4,094.  
The Model 2160 initially configures one VLAN by default, VID=1. A port such as LAN1–4, line or sniffing  
can have only one Port VID (PVID), but can have as many VID groups as the Model 2160 has memory in its  
VLAN table to store them.  
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domin thus increase network performance  
through reduced boardcast traffic. You can modify VLAN groups at any time by adding, moving or changing  
ports without any re-cabling.

Configuring 802.1Q VLAN Tagging. Before enabling VLANs for the Model 2160, you must first assign each  
port to the VLAN group(s) in which it will participate. By default all ports are assigned to VLAN1 as untagged  
ports. Add a port as a tagged port if you want it to carry traffic for one or more VLANs, and any intermediate  
network devices or the host at the other end of the connection supports VLANs. Then, assign ports on the  
other VLAN-aware network devices along the path that will carry this traffic to the same VLAN(s), either man-

ually or dynamically using Generic VLAN Routing Protocol (GVRP). However, if you want a port on this  
Model 2160 to participate in one or more VLANs, but none of the intermediate network devices nor the host  
at the other end of the connection supports VLANs, then you should add this port to the VLAN as an  
untagged port.  
Note VLAN-tagged frames can pass through VLAN-aware or VLAN-  
unaware network inter-connection devices, but the VLAN tags  
should be stripped off before passing it on to any end-node host that  
does not support VLAN tagging.  
VLAN Classification - When the Model 2160 receives a frame, it classifies the frame in one of two ways. If  
the frame is untagged, the Model 2160 assigns the frame to an associated VLAN (based on the default  
VLAN ID of the receiving port). But if the frame is tagged, the Model 2160 uses the tagged VLAN ID to  
identify the port broadcast domain of the frame.  
Port Overlapping - You can use port overlapping to allow access to commonly shared network resources  
among different VLAN groups, such as file servers or printers.  
Untagged VLANs - Untagged (or static) VLANs are typically used to reduce broadcast traffic and to  
increase security. A group of network users assigned to a VLAN form a broadcast domain that is separate  
from other VLANs configured on the Model 2160. Packets are forwarded only between ports that are desig-  
nated for the same VLAN. Untagged VLANs can be used to manually isolate user groups or subnets.  
Port VID (PVID) - A PVID is a VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames received on the interface. (Default:  
1). If an interface is not a member of VLAN 1 and you assign its PVID to this VLAN, the interface will  
automatically be added to VLAN 1 as an untagged member. For all other VLANs, an interface must first be  
configured as an untagged member before you can assign its PVID to that group.  
Link Type - The Link Type determines the types of frames the port can accept. Access means the port can  
only receive or send untagged frame types. Trunk means that the port can only receive or send tagged frame  
types.

Port-Based VLAN  
Click on VLAN under Advanced on the main menu to reach the VLAN advanced configuration page. Then,  
select the radio button for Port-Based VLAN to display the configuration options.  
Figure 19. Port-Based VLAN page  
Port-Based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address  
and its associated port. When using the port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a specific VLAN indepen-  
dent of the user or system attached to the port. This means all users attached to the port should be members in  
the same VLAN. The network administrator typically performs the VLAN assignment. The port configuration  
is static and cannot be automatically changed to another VLAN without manual reconfiguration.  
As with other VLAN approaches, the packets forwarded using this method do not leak into other VLAN  
domains on the network. After a port has been assigned to a VLAN, the port cannot send to or receive from  
devices in another VLAN.  
The default setting for port-based VLANs (shown in Figure 19) is that all of ports are connected so that all  
ports can communicate with each other. Essentially, there are no virtual LANs. This option is the most flexible  
but the least secure.  
If you click the LAN1 to LAN4 only with line and Sniffing (as shown here),  
there are port isolation means that each LAN’s port can only communicate  
with management port and cannot communicate with each other. This option  
is the most limiting but also the most secure.

Link Type: Select from Access or Trunk. Access means the port can receive or send untagged packets. Trunk  
means that the port can receive or send tagged packets.  
A VLAN tag uses the tag protocol identifier (TPID) field to identify the protocol type of the tag. The value of  
this field, as defined in IEEE 802.1Q, is 0x8100 (33024).  
Figure 21. VLAN Tag structure of an Ethernet frame  
On devices of different vendors, the TPID of the outer VLAN tag of QinQ frames may have different default  
values. You can set or modify this TPID value, so that the QinQ frames, when arriving at the public network,  
carries the TPID value of a specific vendor to allow interoperation with devices of that vendor.  
The TPID in an Ethernet frame has the same position with the protocol type field in a frame without a VLAN  
tag. To avoid chaotic packet forwarding and receiving, you cannot set the TPID value to any of the values in

Quality of Service (QoS)  
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the net-  
working methods used to control the use of bandwidth. Without QoS, all traffic date is equally likely to be  
dropped when the network is congested. This can cause a reduction in network performance and mark the net-  
work inadequate for time-critical application such as video-on-demand.  
Click on QoS under Advanced on the main menu to reach the QoS advanced configuration page.  
Figure 22. QoS page  
QoS (Quality of Service) is used to decide which devices can get priorities to pass though the Model 2160 once  
the bandwidth is exhausted or fully saturated.  
There are three types of QoS priority modes: Port Based Priority, VLAN Tag Priority and IP DSCP Priority.  
You can also disable the QoS function.

In the Scheduling Configuration section, you can set up the Queue type from type 0 to type 3. Each Queue  
type can setu p the queue Weight from 1 to 15.  
The Queuing method is used to configure queuing algorithms for outgoing traffic. Queuing algorithms allows  
the Model 2160 to maintain separate queues for packets from each individual source or flow and prevent a  
source from monopolizing the bandwidth.  
The Queue types are Weight Round Robin (WRR), Best Effort (BE), and Strictly Priority (SP).  
WRR services on a rotating basis and is activated only when a port has more traffic than it can handle. A  
queue is a given an amount of bandwidth irrespective of the incoming traffic on that port. The queue then  
moves to the back of the list. The next queue is given an equal amount of bandwidth, and then moves to the  
end of the list, and so on, depending on the number of queues being used, This works in a looping fashion  
until a queue is empty.  
BE is used for data applications or any non-classified traffic. This would include e-mail, Internet browsing,  
data back-up etc. The BE class is for traffic that can afford to wait and not affect the overall outcome of the  
data application.  
SP services queues based on priority only. As traffic comes into the Model 2160, traffic on the highest prior-  
ity queue, Q3 is transmitted first. When that queue empties, traffic on the next highest-priority queue, Q2  
transmitted until Q2 empties, and then traffic is transmitted on Q1 and so on. If higher priority queues  
never empty, then traffic on lower priority never gets sent. The SP class is typically for video applications  
that require a fixed amount of bandwidth to be considered good quality.

up the Queue Weight from 1 to 15.  
WRR Scheduling Configuration Example. For example, you  
can set the Model 2160 use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queu-  
ing that specifies a relative weight of each queue. WRR uses a pre-  
defined relative weight for each queue that determines the  
percentage of service time to services each queue before moving on  
to the next queue. This prevents the head-of-line blocking that can  
occur with strict priority queuing.

Differentiated Services Overview. Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a class of service (CoS) model that  
enhances best-effort Internet services by differentiating traffic by users, service requirements and other criteria.  
Packets are specifically marked, allowing network nodes to provide different levels of service, as appropriate for  
video playback, voice calls or other delay-sensitive applications, via priority queuing or bandwidth allocation.  
DiffServ defines a new DS (Differentiated Services) field to replace the Type of Service (ToS) field in the IP  
header. The DS field contains a 2-bits unused field and 6-bits DSCP field which can define up to 64 service  
levels. Figure 27 shows the DS field:  
Figure 27. Differentiated Services field  
The DSCP value used to identify 64 levels (26=64) of service determines the forwarding behavior that each  
packet gets across the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule different kinds of traffic can be marked for  
different priorities of forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and the con-  
figured policies. Table 11 shows how the bits are used in the DSCP field.

The standardized DiffServ field of the packet is marked with a value so that the packet receives a particular for-  
warding treatment at each network node. RFC 2597 defines the assured forwarding (AF) classes. There are  
four AF classes, AF1x through AF4x. Within each class, there are three drop probabilities. Depending on a  
given network's policy, packets can be selected for a PHB based on required throughput, delay, jitter, loss, or  
according to priority of access to network services. Classes 1 through 4 are referred to as AF classes.  
Table 12 illustrates the DSCP coding for specifying the AF class with the probability. Bits 0, 1, and 2 define the  
class; bits 3 and 4 specify the drop probability; bit 5 is always 0.

Rate Control  
Click on Rate Control under Advanced on the main menu to reach the Rate Control configuration page.  
Figure 29. Rate Control page  
Limiting bandwidth to specific users and ports helps control network congestion, ensure high performance,  
create efficient networks, and prevent a small number of users from monopolizing network bandwidth.  
Rate control can be used to intelligently manage bandwidth allocation in the networking. It can prevent one  
user or device from dominating the available network bandwidth, and it allows IT managers to allocate greater  
bandwidth to the departments and applications that need it.  
Figure 30. Rate Control options  
You can set up the date rates limit on each port. The date rates are: No limit, 128K, 256K, 512K, 1M and  
2M. The default setting is No limit on each ports.

sages contain requests to get and set variables that exist in network nodes in order to obtain statistics, set con-  
figuration parameters, and monitor network events. SNMP communications can occur over the LAN or WAN  
connection.  
The Model 2160 can generate SNMP traps to indicate alarm conditions, and it relies on SNMP community  
strings to implement SNMP security. This Model 2160 support both MIB I and MIB II.

SNR Margin  
SNR margin is an index of line connection quality. Generally, you won’t need to change the SNR Margin. You  
can view the actual SNR margin in status command menu.You will experience better line connection quality  
for larger SNR margin values.  
For example, if you set the SNR margin ias 5, the line connection will drop and reconnect when the SNR mar-  
gin is lower than 5. On the other hand, the device will reduce the line rate and reconnect for better line con-  
nection quality. You may select the SNR margin from the range -10 to 21.

VLAN  
Virtual LAN (VLAN) is defined as a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that they  
can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a number of dif-  
ferent LAN segments. Because VLAN is based on logical instead of physical connections, it is extremely flexi-  
ble.  
You can setup the Virtual LAN (VLAN) parameters in VLAN command. The Model 2160 supports VLAN-  
to-PVC only for bridge mode operation, i.e., the VLAN spreads over both the CO and CPE sides, where there  
is no layer 3 routing involved. The unit supports up to 8 active VLANs with shared VLAN learning (SVL)  
bridge out of 4096 possible VLANs specified in IEEE 802.1Q.  
The vlan command menu lists commands for setting up the line port. Move the cursor “ >>” to vlan in the  
setup menu and press Enter. The following menu displays:

To activate the VLAN function, move the cursor “ >> “ to mode and press Enter. The products support two  
types of VLAN: 802.1Q and Port-Based.  
802.1Q defines the operation of VLAN bridges that permit the definition, operation, and administration of  
VLAN topologies within a bridged LAN infrastructure. Port-Based VLANs are VLANs where the packet for-  
warding decision is based on the destination MAC address and its associated port.  
Mode  
You can choose from two types of VLANs: 802.1Q Tag-Based VLAN or Port Based VLAN. If you are not  
going to use the VLAN function, set this option to Disable.

802.1Q VLAN. To modify the VLAN rule, move the cursor to modify and press Enter.  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------  
Command: setup vlan modify <1~8> <0~4094> <string>  
Message: Please input the following information.  
VLAN table entry index <1~8>: 1  
VID value (ENTER for default) <1>: 10  
VLAN port membership (ENTER for default) <111111>:  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------  
The VLAN Port membership ris represented with 1 or 0. VLAN port membership is a 6-digit binary number  
in which bit 0 to bits 5 represent LAN1 to LAN4, line and Sniffing ports respectively.  
For example: [ setup vlan modify 1 10 111111 ] means use index as 1 , VID = 10 and all six ports are the same  
membership (VLAN ID=10).  
Use the pvid command to change the member port to untagged members:  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------  
Command: setup vlan pvid <1~6> <1~4094>  
Message: Please input the following information.  
Port index <1~6>:  
VID value (ENTER for default) <1>:  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------  
PVID (Port VID) is an untagged member from 1 to 4094 for the default VLAN.  
For example:  
[ set vlan pvid 1 100]  
[ set vlan pvid 2 100]  
[ set vlan pvid 3 100]  
[ set vlan pvid 4 100]  
[ set vlan pvid 5 100]  
[ set vlan pvid 6 100]  
This example shows that all untagged members of all ports all have the same membership (VLAN ID=100).  
To modify the link type of the port, move the cursor to link_mode and press Enter. There are two types of link:  
access and trunk. A Trunk link will send the tagged packet form the port. An Access link will send an  
untagged packet from the port. The port index 1 to 4 represents LAN ports. Index 5 represents line, and index  
6 represents Sniffing.

Port-Based VLAN. With port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a specific VLAN independent of the user  
or system attached to the port. This means all users attached to the port should be members in the same  
VLAN. The network administrator typically performs the VLAN assignment. The port configuration is static  
and cannot be automatically changed to another VLAN without manual reconfiguration.  
You can set up Port-Based VLAN using the method for 802.11Q. However, VID , PVID or link type do not  
matter for Port-Based VLAN. Use the list command to check the status of the VLAN.

QoS  
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the net-  
working methods used to control the use of bandwidth. Without QoS, all traffic date is equally likely to be  
dropped when the network is congested. This can cause a reduction in network performance and mark the net-  
work inadequate for a time-critical application such as video-on-demand.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------  
The Queue types are Weight Round Robin (WRR), Best Effort (BE), and Strictly Priority (SP).  
WRR services on a rotating basis and is activated only when a port has more traffic than it can handle. A  
queue is a given an amount of bandwidth irrespective of the incoming traffic on that port. The queue then  
moves to the back of the list. The next queue is given an equal amount of bandwidth, and then moves to the  
end of the list, and so on, depending on the number of queues being used, This works in a looping fashion  
until a queue is empty.  
BE is used for data applications or any non-classified traffic. This would include e-mail, Internet browsing,  
data back-up etc. The BE class is for traffic that can afford to wait and not affect the overall outcome of the  
data application.

SP services queues based on priority only. As traffic comes into the Model 2160, traffic on the highest prior-  
ity queue, Q3 is transmitted first. When that queue empties, traffic on the next highest-priority queue, Q2  
transmitted until Q2 empties, and then traffic is transmitted on Q1 and so on. If higher priority queues  
never empty, then traffic on lower priority never gets sent. The SP class is typically for video applications  
that require a fixed amount of bandwidth to be considered good quality.

Set up the queue index (0, 1, 2 or 3) on Priority VLAN Tag.  
VLAN Tag Priority uses the tag field information which has been inserted into an Ethernet frame. If a port has  
an 802.1Q-compliant device attached (such as this Ethernet Extender), these tagged frames can carry VLAN  
membership information.  
Priority defines the user priority level for different classes of traffic. There are 8 possible priority levels, with 0  
being the lowest priority level and 7 being the highest level. Each Priority level can be set queue from 0 to 3.

For example, you can set the Model 2160 to use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queuing (Type 1) that speci-  
fies a relative weight of each queue. WRR uses a predefined relative weight for each queue that determines the  
percentage of s time to services for each queue before moving on to the next queue.

IP DSCP Priority QoS  
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a class of service (CoS) model that enhances best-effort Internet services by  
differentiating traffic by users, service requirements and other criteria. Packets are specifically marked, allowing  
network nodes to provide different levels of service, as appropriate for video playback, voice calls or other  
delay-sensitive applications, via priority queuing or bandwidth allocation.  
The DSCP value used to identify 64 levels (26=64) of service determines the forwarding behavior that each  
packet gets across the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule different kinds of traffic can be marked for  
different priorities of forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and the con-  
figured policies.  
Set up queue index (0, 1, 2 or 3) on each DSCP:

DHCP  
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol that allows network adminis-  
trators to manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's net-  
work. Each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up  
the users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine.  
Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer. If computers move to another  
location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator  
supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a  
computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

SNMP  
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides the exchange of messages between a network man-  
agement client and a network management agent for remote management of network nodes. These messages  
contain requests to get and set variables that exist in network nodes in order to obtain statistics, set configura-  
tion parameters, and monitor network events. SNMP communications can occur over the LAN or WAN con-  
nection.  
The Model 2160 can generate SNMP traps to indicate alarm conditions, and it relies on SNMP community  
strings to implement SNMP security. This Model 2160 support both MIB I and MIB II.  
The snmp command menu lists commands for configuring SNMP communities and traps. Move the cursor “

Radio and TV interference (FCC Part 15)  
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is, in  
strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and television recep-  
tion. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in  
accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reason-  
able protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that inter-  
ference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television  
reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the cables, try to correct the interference by one or more  
of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving  
antenna, and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equip-  
ment and receiver are on different branches).
