SECTION 2 " Features and Functional Overview

The forwarding database entry for a station on the other side of the tunnel includes the physical port (NIC1, NIC2, or Ethernet) the frame should be forwarded through, and an indication that encapsulation is required. The receiving access point on the other side of the tunnel de-encapsulates the frame and then forwards it on the correct physical port.

OWL/IP is described in more detail in Section 4, “Configuration,” and Appendix E, “OWL/IP.”

Configuration and Management

Configuration

The access point can be configured through a local RS-232 connection, or remotely through a TCP/IP connection. The access point includes a command monitor and menu driven configuration with online help. The command monitor and file system configuration are contained in permanent read-only memory (ROM) within the access point, and can be accessed through the RS-232 diagnostics port even if software is not loaded in the access point.

Most access point functionality is provided by the software stored within the file system. Configuration parameters are stored in nonvolatile EEPROM memory, and are maintained in the event of power loss.

Diagnostics and Configuration Port

An RS-232 configuration port is provided for direct access to the access point’s command monitor and configuration menus. Access through the diagnostics port is password-protected for security.
