• Read IP Address: When enabled an unregistered station will speak its IP address when the call button is pressed. "Read IP Address" is default enabled.
• Enable RSTP (for Industrial & Ex stations): Check the Enable RSTP box to enable Rapid Speanning Tree Protocol RSTP. RSTP is only required when using redundant networking
• Ethernet Speed 10 Mbits/s: Enable in some rare cases where it is not convenient to use 100 MBit/s Ethernet speed. Default Ethernet speed is 100 Mbit/s unless switch is configured to 10 Mbit/s.
