Enterasys Networks Wireless Ethernet Adapter I manual Bridged Ethernet lan0, hardware

Using the Terminal Configurator

∙serial connect data. The format is the same as in socket connect data. This causes data to be written to the UART once a connection is successful.

∙serial disconnect data. This causes data to be written to the UART when the network connection has been closed. This data is appended to any data already in progress. The closing of the socket will not cancel UART transmission of any data already received over the socket. The format of this data is the same as in socket connect data.

∙Serial fail data. If the socket connection were to fail this causes data to be written to the UART. This should only happen in the case of a connect type where the remote machine was unavailable or refused the connection. However, this value may be used to catch listen problems should any software problem occur. The format is the same as in socket connect data.

Bridged Ethernet (lan0)

[hardware]

Settings for the actual Ethernet Adapter hardware are determined under this category. This category varies depending on the particular radio type being used. Following are some common settings that might be found for radio configuration.

∙network name. This name determines the network to which the Ethernet Adapter device will be connecting. Alphanumeric values may be used in this field. The default is "ANY". The network name is case-sensitive.

∙station name. The name of an individual Ethernet Adapter device. Any alphanumeric name may be used.

∙MAC address. Media Access Control. This address is a unique alphanumeric address that defines each node of the network. This address is predefined by the manufacturer. Valid values for this setting are: “detect save” – this will make the Ethernet Adapter assume the MAC address of the device on the Ethernet Adapter’s ethernet port; “built-in” – this will use the Ethernet Adapter’s built-in MAC address; otherwise, a specific MAC address can be specified by typing in the 12 character MAC address without the colons, i.e.: to specify MAC address 01:23:45:67:89:ab, use: 0123456789ab. When using the Ethernet Adapter for wired to wireless ethernet bridging, detect save should be used.

∙transmit rate.The data rate at which the radio transmits is set by this field. Valid values are radio dependent.

∙enable encryption. This value is used to indicate whether WEP encryption by the radio is desired or not. If the Ethernet Adapter does not support setting WEP for the particular radio in use, this option will not appear. Setting of the various encryption options is done in the [encryption] section.
