Does the Omnia support 10 MBit/s connectivity on its ports?

Omnia hardware Omnia HW help

I have an old SIP phone base station. It doesn’t tend to work when I connect it to a gigabit switch and on the device it says it has LAN IEEE 802.3 connectivity.

I suspect it does not support 100 MBit/s (Fast Ethernet) connectivity and thus needs 10 MBit/s support specifically.

When I tried it with the Omnia at one point, it also didn’t work. Does anybody know if the ports on the Omnia can be configured to work at 10 MBit/s or do they only support 100 MBit/s (Fast Ethernet) or newer?

Note I attached it to a Devolo Magic WiFi 2 Next device which can support gigabit connections and there it also negotiates to 10 MBit/s. (Apparently that device handles 10/100/1000 MBit/s.)

So indeed my device can only do 10 MBit/s and I’m wondering whether that is expected to work with the Omnia. (It would allow me to move the base to a more practical spot.)

It supports 1000/100/10 Mbps.

Half duplex and full duplex

Most likely your device is 10Megs only. If it doesnt negotiate 10Mbps then you might want to connect it and then set speed manually with ethtool.

Maybe i your device doesnt support auto negotiation. Then its really old bit still should work

Thanks for the information! Good to know it should work! I’ll be testing this some more then!

To be exact:

root@turris:~# ethtool lan1
Settings for lan1:
	Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
	Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
	                        100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
	                        1000baseT/Full 
	Supported pause frame use: Symmetric
	Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
	Supported FEC modes: Not reported
	Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
	                        100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
	                        1000baseT/Full 
	Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric
	Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
	Advertised FEC modes: Not reported
	Speed: Unknown!
	Duplex: Unknown! (255)
	Port: Twisted Pair
	PHYAD: 1
	Transceiver: external
	Auto-negotiation: on
	MDI-X: Unknown
	Supports Wake-on: d
	Wake-on: d
	Link detected: no

So Omnia supports and advertises 10 Mbps speed and supports autonegotiation.

I hooked it up and this time it just worked! So no idea what happened in the past. Either I misremember or maybe newer firmware (I’m on 6.5.2) has resolved issues related to this.

This magical updates are the best. You just bump version number and it fixes peoples issues straight away😉
