Table 3-15. Ethernet Port Options (1 of 2)
Interface Status
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Disable
Determines whether the Ethernet port is being used and can be configured.
Enable – The port is active. It can receive Version 2 or IEEE 802.3 MAC frames, or
transmit Version 2 MAC frames only. When the Ethernet port is enabled, the Would
you like to set the Node’s IP Destination to Ethernet? prompt is
displayed.
H If you select Yes, the Default IP Destination (see Table 3-9, Node IP Options)
is automatically changed to Ethernet, so the Ethernet port’s Default Gateway
Address is used for packets that do not have a route. This is required when the
NMS is on a different subnet than the unit.
H If you select No, the COM port or a PVC will be used for packets without a route.
Disable – The port is not active. When the port is disabled, the following will occur:
H No alarms or traps configured for the port will be generated.
H All port uses that refer to the Ethernet port, like the Default IP Destination and
Initial Route Destination, will be reset to their default values (see Table 3-9, Node
IP Options, and Table 3-14, SNMP Traps Options).

Ethernet port.
000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255 – Set the Ethernet port’s subnet mask. The range
for each byte is 000 to 255.
Clear – Fills the subnet mask associated with the IP address with zeros.
