LAN Interface Settings

• The current parameter settings are identified in the Current LAN interface parameters field.
• LAN Interface Speed & Duplex. Select from among the speed and duplex combinations available.
  • Autodetect (default option)
  • 10 Mbps/Half
  • 10 Mbps/Full
  • 100 Mbps/Half
  • 100 Mbps/Full
  • 1000 Mbps/Full (gigabit)
  • Half-duplex provides for communication in both directions, but only one direction at a time (not simultaneously).
  • Full-duplex allows communication in both directions simultaneously.

    Note: Occasionally there are problems running at 10 Mbps in either half or full duplex. If you are experiencing problems, try another speed and duplex.

  Please refer to Network Speed Settings for more information.

• Enable Automatic Failover - Check this checkbox to allow Dominion KSX to automatically recover its network connection using a second network port if the active network port fails. When this option is enabled, the following two fields are used:
  • Ping Interval (seconds) - Ping interval determines how often Dominion KSX checks the status of the network connection (setting this too low may cause excess network traffic). The default ping interval is 30 seconds.
  • Timeout (seconds) - Timeout determines how long a network port must be "dead" before the switch is made. Both network ports must be connected to the network and this option must be checked for automatic failover to function. The default timeout is 60 seconds.

    Note: The default ping interval and timeout generate a condition that when the Dominion KSX device tries to switch over, remote sessions will be dropped and must be re-established. Reducing these intervals to much lower values will allow remote sessions to stay connected, but will result in increased network traffic.

• Set System ACL - Click this button to set a global-level Access Control List (ACL) for your Dominion KSX by ensuring that your device does not respond to packets being sent from disallowed IP addresses. The IP Access Control page opens.

  Note: These ACL values are global, affecting the Dominion KSX as a whole. You can also create ACLs on a group-level basis. For example, you can create an "Outsourced Vendors" user group that is permitted to access Dominion KSX only from a given IP address range. Refer to Group-based IP ACL (Access Control List) for more information on how to create group-specific Access Control Lists.
