ExpWave 240B Secure Outdoor Ethernet Radio Link

IP Policy Routing

IP Policy Routing provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter packet forwarding based on the policies defined by the network administrator.

SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your ExpWave supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the ExpWave through the network. The ExpWave supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1).

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual client computers to obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The ExpWave has built-in DHCP server capability, enabled by default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to all systems that support the DHCP client.

Full Network Management

Most functions of the ExpWave are also software configurable via the SMT (System Management Terminal) interface. The SMT is a menu-driven interface that you can access from a terminal emulator through the console port or over a telnet connection.

Logging and Tracing

Built-in message logging and packet tracing.

Unix syslog facility support.

Upgrade ExpWave Firmware via LAN

The firmware of the ExpWave can be upgraded via the LAN.

Embedded FTP and TFTP Servers

The ExpWave’s embedded FTP and TFTP Servers enable fast firmware upgrades as well as configuration file backups and restoration.
