Trango Broadband M900S Configure Other Basic AP Parameters, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway

Basic Configuration via Browser Interface

6.CIR dn: (AP to SU Committed Information Rate) – minimum downstream bandwidth for the SU in Kbps.

7.MIR up: (SU to AP Maximum Information Rate) – maximum upstream bandwidth for the SU in Kbps.

8.MIR dn: (AP to SU Maximum Information Rate) – maximum downstream bandwidth for the SU in Kbps.

9.Enter Device ID (MAC Address of the SU).

10.Save and Activate changes.

!Important! Always remember to Save and Activate changes, or the SUDB will revert back to its previous state after a power cycle or reboot.

!Important! SUs using SU to SU communication must be on the same subnet.

Configure Other Basic AP Parameters

In addition to setting up the SU in the SUDB, the following settings in the AP’s Configuration page must be set (or left at default).

Base ID: Four character, alphanumeric, user definable base station ID. Input of BASEID shall be in the format of xxxx. Where x is any character from the set: {0..9; a..z; A..Z; '!@#$%^&*()_+[]\<>,./?'}. The Base ID is typically assigned to a single AP or a group of APs at a particular cell site. The Base ID in the AP must match the Base ID in the SU in order for a link to be established. This parameter can only be changed while in Opmode "OFF."

AP ID: User definable AP ID (00-FF). Default is last two digits of MAC ID. One authenticated, the AP will automatically assign its AP ID to the SU. This parameter can only be changed while opmode is “OFF”.

IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway:

The IP configuration of the radio. Used for configuration and network management purposes. Since this is a layer-II device, these parameters do not play a role in the establishment of the wireless link.

Default Opmode:

Operation mode of the radio after a power cycle or reboot. When the radio enters Opmode "ON," it will be transmitting. When the radio enters Opmode "OFF," the radio will not be transmitting, but can be accessed through the Ethernet port. The radio can be put into Opmode "OFF" regardless of its default Opmode by telnetting into the radio within the first 30 seconds after a power cycle or reboot.

Active Channel/Polarization:

The current channel and antenna polarization of the unit when in Opmode "ON."

To configure the AP’s other basic settings, complete the following steps:

1.Connect to the AP (see Getting Started) and open the Configuration page.
