Managing the Wireless WallPlates

Managing the Wireless WallPlates

The Wireless WallPlate is managed through two interfaces; one interface is via an embedded management channel within the VDSL frames. The other interface is through a layer 3 IP address.

WallPlate Inventory and Firmware Image

Show remote inventory

“show remote inventory” command uses the embedded channel to read hardware rev and basic information, including serial number and BSS MAC range. Additionally, this out-of-band channel is used to detect the device and initiate communications. This interface can operate if IP addressing is invalid or the system is unable to communicate at Layer 3. This command will read hardware information for the Wireless WallPlate or the m2 Ethernet WallPlate.

Each Wireless WallPlate has 16 MACs, assigned to 16 WLANs. To read the MAC addresses assigned to the WLANs, use;

show remote inventory port<x>

Note that only one MAC address is shown for the BSS. This is the starting MAC, assigned to WLAN 1 on that radio. The remaining 15 WLANs will increment from the last octet, 00.

6 byte MAC address

00	C0	23	xx	xx	x0
	3-byte vendor ID		2-byte device ID		1-byte device ID

00 = WLAN 1

01 = WLAN 2

02 = WLAN 3

03 = WLAN 4

04 = WLAN 5

05 = WLAN 6

06 = WLAN 7

07 = WLAN 8

08 = WLAN 9

09 = WLAN 10

0A = WLAN 11

0B = WLAN 12

0C = WLAN 13

0D = WLAN 14

0E = WLAN 15

0F = WLAN 16

Show remote image

“show remote image” command uses the layer 3 interface to communicate. Use this command to ensure the

T3 has full access to the Wireless WallPlate. Note this command will not read information from an m2 Ethernet WallPlate. If this command stalls, then the T3 cannot communicate. This is most likely an IP addressing mistake.
