SECTION 4 " Configuration

Flooding Level Checklist

You can use the following list of questions to determine the required flooding levels for the Inbound and Outbound to Secondaries options. The list is structured so that you should skip later questions as soon as you determine the appropriate flood level settings.

If your answer is “I do not know,” go to the next question. If you cannot determine the appropriate flooding levels, use the higher (multicast) flooding levels.

"NOTE: If extensive flooding is enabled, it will be more important to set Ethernet filters to reduce unnecessary traffic in the radio network. In general, the need for filters increases with the amount of traffic on the distribution LAN and the flooding levels. Filtering starts on page 4-43.

1.Is the open wireless LAN used only with NORANDR emulation terminals?

Answer Settings

Yes Inbound/Unicast/Disabled

Inbound/Multicast/Enabled

Outbound to Secondaries/Unicast/Disabled

Outbound to Secondaries/Multicast/Disabled

Comments:

Unicast flooding is not required to support NORAND terminal emulation because the NORAND transport layer (used for terminal emulation) periodically generates traffic. Inbound multicast flooding is required. Outbound multicast flooding is not required because NORAND terminal emulation stations do not need to receive multicast frames.
