Configuration
The Configuration web page contains information and configurable parameters pertaining to the operation of the product. The first line of information on the Configuration screen is a repeat of the Device Type from the Status web page. The following are the parameters and their descriptions.
Timing Mode: choose whether this module will be a timing master or a timing slave. If the operator is changing this mode, change only this parameter, save the changes and reboot. Upon reboot different set of web based interface pages will present themselves and offer the operator different manageable as well as configurable features.
Sync Input: choose the type of synchronization that this access point module will utilize. If “Sync to Received Signal” is chosen, then it is assumed that:
•this access point module it connected to a Cluster Management Module and will be receiving a sync pulse via GPS
•this access point module is connected to another access point module that is generating its own sync pulse.
If “Generate Sync Signal” is chosen then it is assumed that:
•this access point module is a
•this access point module is generating the sync pulse for a cluster of access point modules and there are no other access point modules within a 5 mile radius.
Link Negotiation Speeds: choose the type of link speed desired for the Ethernet connection. The default for this parameter is for all the choices to be checked.
RF Frequency Carrier: choose the frequency that the module will transmit on. The default from the factory is to have this parameter set to none.
Downlink Data: choose the percentage of the aggregate throughput that is needed for the downlink (i.e going from the backhaul timing master to the backhaul timing slave). For example, if the aggregate throughput on the backhaul master is 6 Mbits, then configuring this parameter for 75% will allocate 4.5 Mbits for the downlink and 1.5 Mbits for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 50%.
