Accessing the Console System 2 - 9
About the Menus
Perform the following general functions using menus:
n Configuration: Allows you to configure Ethernet or Token Ring and
Radio Parameters, establish Network Identifications, and set SNMP
values. See Chapters 3-7.
n Statistics: View a variety of statistical information such as transmit
and receive data throughput, Ethernet or Token Ring and radio
errors, and the general status of the Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge
unit. See Chapter 9 “Viewing Statistics”.
n Association Table: A table that contains the addresses of all radio
nodes associated below the Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge on the
infrastructure. You may use the association table to display, add and
remove static entries, and allow automatic additions to the table.
See Chapter 10 “Setting Up the Association Table”.
n Filter: Controls packet filtering. The filter menu allows you to con-
trol forwarding of multicast messages by blocking those multicast
addresses and protocols that are not used on the radio network. See
Chapter 11 “Using Filters”.
n Logs: Keeps a record of all events and alarms that occur on the unit.
With the Logs Menu, you can view and/or print a history of all log
entries, set alarm levels, and determine the type of logs you want to
save. See Chapter 12 “Setting Up Event Logs”.
n Diagnostics: Allows you to run link tests between the Ethernet or
Token Ring Bridge and other infrastructure nodes to test the quality
of the radio link. Use the Diagnostics function to load new code ver-
sions of Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge’s firmware. See Chapter 13
“Performing Diagnostics”.
n Privilege: Allows you to set privilege levels and passwords to
restrict access to the Console Port’s menus and functions.
n Help: A brief help screen outlining the procedures for accessing
menus and entering commands.
