LAN 1 IP: enter in the IP address that will be associated with the Ethernet connection on this module. The default address is 169.254.1.1. If the IP address is forgotten, the operator will need physical access to the module and will need to create a Canopy “default plug”. See steps at the end of this section for use of a default plug.

LAN1 Subnet Mask: enter in an appropriate subnet mask for the module to “talk” on the network. The default value for this parameter is 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: enter in the appropriate gateway for the module to “talk” on the network. The default for this parameter is 169.254.1.1.

Private IP: the default for this parameter is 192.168.101.1. It is recommended that the operator not change this parameter. A flat, class C subnet is used to communicate with each of the subscriber modules that have registered. The access point utilizes a combination of the private IP and the logical unit ID (LUID) of the subscriber module.

For example, if there are two subscriber modules (LUID 2 and LUID 3) registered to an access point module, then the access point uses the following to communicate to each:

Unit

LUID

Private IP

 

 

 

access point module

1

192.168.101.1

subscriber module 1

2

192.168.101.2

subscriber module 2

3

192.168.101.3

If the private IP address is changed then it must designate a Class C subnet that s not utilized for anything else and the address must be in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.1, where 1 is the last octet of the address.

Color Code: enter in a value (0-254). The color code on the subscriber module and the access point module must match in order for registration to occur. Color code is not a security feature. It is a means for the Canopy System operator to segregate an individual network or neighbor Canopy networks. Also, color code can be used to force a subscriber module to only register to a specific access point module even though the subscriber module may be able to see multiple access point modules. The default value for this parameter is 0 on all Canopy modules.

Sector ID: choose an ID number to give to this access point module. This parameter does not affect the operation of the module in any way. Its purpose is just another means to identify the access point module. When observing a subscriber module’s AP Eval Data web page, the sector ID is one of the distinguishing fields present to help the operator understand what access point module is seen. It is recommended that when constructing an access point cluster (2-6 modules) that each sector be given a different ID and that the pattern be repeated throughout the entire Canopy System for manageability.

Display-Only Access: enter the same password in both fields for verification. The display-only password, when used, will allow only view activities to the module. When the display-only password is set and not the full-access password, the display-only password will be tied to telnet and FTP sessions to the module. If the full-access password is also set then it has precedence on the telnet and FTP sessions. If the password is forgotten, the operator will need physical access to the module and will need to create a Canopy “default plug” to override the unit. See steps at end of section for use and creation of a default plug.

Full Access: enter the same password in both fields for verification. The full-access password,
