Utilities 3 - 19
Setting the Network Identifier (NID)
The Network Identifier represents the 6-byte radio address of the Airo-
net Client Card. In using the NID, keep in mind the following:
The NID will override the 2-byte Radio Node ID address.
The address must be unique across the entire network.
If the NID is left at the default of 00:00:00:00:00:00 it will use a
factory assigned address.
Setting the Router ID
The Router ID is not required for the Aironet Client Card.
Setting the Specified Router
This parameter only applies to the ARLAN and PSP registration modes.
Use the Specified Router parameter to specify a Parent Access Point for
the Aironet Client Card to register to.
If you want the Aironet Client Card to register to a specific Parent
Access Point, you should enter the Network Address of that Access
Point. All other Access Points will be ignored even if their radio link
would be better.
Keep in mind, however, if the specified router is not heard from
within the Specified Router Timeout time, then the unit will register
with the Access Point at the root of the Radio Network Tree, or the
Access Point that is closest to the top of the Radio Network tree, and
that is within radio range (see
Setting Advanced Radio Parameters
for information on Specified Router Timeout).
If you do not want to specify a specific Parent Access Point, you
should leave the parameter at the default value of “Not Specified”.
With this value, the Client Card will automatically register to the
Access Point at the root of the Radio Network Tree or the Access
Point that is closest to the top of the Radio Network tree, and that is
within radio range.
