When you set an advanced password, it is required to configure the following:

Security/Advanced Password and Bridge/Ports/omdip

The prompt is:

Range is: 16 chars

Enter 16 or fewer alphanumeric characters for this password. It is case insensitive and can be any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. For security, the password appears as asterisks on the screen.

Combining Radio Options

You can combine WLIF, 900 MHz, and S-UHF radios in a common network by following basic guidelines for LAN ID. Two alternatives are possible: same LAN ID and different LAN IDs.

Same LAN ID

Using the same LAN ID for all radio options configures all access points into a single network regardless of radio type. This approach allows management of a single network using the OWLView network management application.

An Ethernet path or wireless hop must exist from all access points to the super root and back-up super root candidates. In addition, globally distributed system parameters — particularly flooding levels — must be appropriate for all of the installed radio options.
