Before this automatic reset, if the unit is running from shadow version, the versions must be swapped and the running version must be set as main. This is done to avoid returning to the previous version, which shall happen automatically after the reset. The default is Enable.
Menus and Parameters Best AU Parameters (SU) An SU that can communicate with more than one AU using the same ESSID may become associated with the first AU it "finds", not necessarily the best choice in terms of quality of communication or other factors such as number of SUs serviced by each AU. The same limitation also exists if only one AU in the neighborhood has an ESSID identical to the one used by the SU, since it is not always necessarily the best choice.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Number Of Scanning Attempts When the Best AU option is enabled, the SU gathers information on neighboring AUs for approximately 2 seconds on each of the scanned frequencies. The Number of Scanning Attempts parameter defines the number of times that the process will be repeated for all relevant frequencies. A higher number may result in a better decision at the cost of an increased scanning time during which the SU is not operational. Valid values: 1 - 255.

Available values: 4 to 20 (dB) for units operating in the 5.2, 5.4 and 5.8 GHz bands. 11 to 20 (dB) for units operating in the 4.9 and 5.3 GHz bands. Default value: 4 (dB) for units operating in the 5.2, 5.4 and 5.8 GHz bands. 11 (dB) for units operating in the 4.9 and 5.3 GHz bands.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Antenna Gain The Antenna Gain parameter enables to define the net gain of a detached antenna. The configured gain should take into account the attenuation of the cable connecting the antenna to the unit.
Menus and Parameters ! To ensure fairness in the contention back-off algorithm between SUs located at different distances from the AU, the size of the time slot should also take into account the one-way propagation delay. The size of the time slot of all units in the cell should be proportional to the distance from the AU of the farthest SU served by it. The distance from the AU of the farthest SU served by it can be determined either manually or automatically.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Fairness Factor The Fairness Factor enables to define the level of fairness in providing services to different SU. When set to 100%, all SUs have the same probability of getting services when competing for bandwidth. If set to X%, than SUs located up to X% of the maximum distance from the AU will have advantage in getting services over SUs located farther than this distance. The range is 0 to 100 (%) The default is 100 (%).
Menus and Parameters The available options are 1 or 2 (time slots). The default is 2 time slots. CAUTION An AIFS value of 1 should only be used in point-to-point applications. Otherwise the default value of 2 must always be used. In a point-to-point link, only one unit should be configured to an AIFS value of 1. When both units need to transmit, the unit with an AIFS value of 1 shall have an advantage over the unit with AIFS of 2.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Country Code Learning by SU This feature support simplified installation and updates processes by enabling the SU to adapt the Country Code used by the AU. The AU advertises its country code in every beacon and association response message.

Only tagged frames with a VLAN ID (VID) equal to the VLAN ID-Data defined in the unit are forwarded to the Ethernet port.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration ! A VLAN Management Tag is inserted in all management frames generated by the unit before transmission on either the Ethernet or wireless link port. The tag includes the values of the VLAN IDManagement and the VLAN Priority-Management parameters. If the VLAN ID-Management is 65535 (No VLAN): ! Only untagged management frames received on either the Ethernet or wireless link ports are forwarded to the unit. ! Management frames generated by the unit are not tagged.
Menus and Parameters Table 4-6 summarizes the functionality of the data port for an Access link.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Table 4-7 summarizes the functionality of the data port for a Trunk link. Table 4-7: VLAN Data Port Functionality - Trunk Link Action Data Port – AU and SU Accept from Ethernet Tagged frames.
Menus and Parameters VLAN Forwarding (AU and SU) The VLAN Forwarding feature is applicable for Trunk Links only. It enables defining the VLAN ID values to be included in the VLAN Forwarding List. If the Link Type is defined as a Trunk Link and the VLAN Forwarding option is enabled, a data frame received with a VLAN ID that is not a member of the unit's VLAN Forwarding List is discarded.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration VLAN Relaying (AU only) The VLAN Relaying feature is applicable for Trunk Links only. It enables defining the VLAN ID values to be included in the VLAN Relaying List.
Menus and Parameters VLAN Traffic Priority Each packet to be transmitted to the wireless link is transferred to one of three queues: Low, Mid and High. Packets in the High queue have the highest priority for transmission, and those in the Low queue have the lowest priority. BreezeACCESS Subscriber and Access units support layer-2 traffic prioritization according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. The priority field in the 802.1Q header tag can have a value in the range 0 to 7.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Valid values range from 0 to 7. The default value is 0. NOTE Packets Received from the Ethernet port with a ToS Precedence value higher than the defined ToS Precedence Threshold are routed to the Mid queue. VLAN Priority - Management The VLAN Priority - Management enables defining the value of the VLAN Priority field for management frames in units with VLAN ID Management that is other than 65535. All management frames are routed to the High queue.
Menus and Parameters ToS Parameters ToS Precedence Threshold The ToS Precedence Threshold parameter enables defining ToS based prioritization in accordance with the precedence bits of the ToS field in the IP header. An IP packet received from the Ethernet port is routed to the Mid queue if any one of the following conditions is met: ! The precedence in the ToS field is higher than the value of the ToS Precedence Threshold parameter. This is applicable to both tagged and untagged frames.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Filter Options The Filter Options enables defining the Ethernet Broadcast filtering functionality of the unit. Select from the following options: ! Disable, which means no Ethernet Broadcast Filtering. ! On Ethernet Port Only, which filters broadcast messages received from the Ethernet port. ! On Wireless Port Only, which filters broadcast messages received from the wireless link port.
Menus and Parameters ! Enable, which means that PPPoE Broadcast messages are transmitted regardless of the selected value of the Filter Options parameter. The default selection is Disable. ARP Broadcast Override Filter The ARP Broadcast Override Filter option enables or disables the broadcasting of ARP messages. Even if according to the selected option in the Filter Options parameter, broadcast messages should be filtered, ARP broadcasts are transmitted if this parameter is set to Enable.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Unicast Relaying (AU only) The Unicast Relaying option enables selecting whether the unit performs unicast relaying. When the Unicast Relaying parameter is enabled, unicast packets originating from devices on the wireless link can be transmitted back to the wireless link devices. If disabled, these packets are not sent to the wireless link even if they are intended for devices on the wireless link.
Menus and Parameters Roaming Option (SU only) The Roaming Option defines the roaming support of the unit. When roaming is not expected, it is preferable to set this parameter to Disable. This will cause the unit to start scanning for another AU after loosing connectivity with the current AU only after 7 seconds during which no beacons were received from the current AU. This will prevent scanning for another AU in cases where no beacons were received due to a short temporary problem.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Performance Parameters The Performance Parameters menu enables defining a series of parameters that control the method by which traffic is transmitted through the BreezeACCESS VL wireless access network.
Menus and Parameters Minimum Contention Window The Minimum Contention Window parameter determines the time that a unit waits from the time it has concluded that there are no detectable transmissions by other units until it attempts to transmit. The BreezeACCESS VL system uses a special mechanism based on detecting the presence of a carrier signal and analyzing the information contained in the transmissions of the AU to estimate the activity of other SUs served by the AU.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Maximum Contention Window The Maximum Contention Window parameter defines the upper limit for the maximum number C used in the back-off algorithm as described in Minimum Contention Window above. The available values are 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511 and 1023. The default value is 1023. Multicast Modulation Level (AU only) The Multicast Modulation Level parameter defines the modulation level used for transmitting multicast and broadcast data frames.
Menus and Parameters Maximum Modulation Level When the Adaptive Modulation Algorithm (see Adaptive Modulation Algorithm on page 4-81) is enabled, it changes the modulation level dynamically according to link conditions. The purpose is to increase the probability of using the maximum possible modulation level at any given moment.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Table 4-9: Recommended Maximum Modulation Level* SNR Maximum Modulation Level SNR> 23 dB 8 22dB < SNR < 23 dB 7 18 dB< SNR < 22 dB 6 14 dB < SNR < 18 dB 5 11 dB < SNR < 14 dB 4 9 dB < SNR < 11 dB 3 7 dB < SNR < 9 dB 2 6 dB
Menus and Parameters Burst Mode Burst mode provides an increased throughput by reducing the overhead associated with transmissions in the wireless media. In a burst transmission the inter-frame spacing is reduced and data frames are transmitted without any contention period. The Burst Mode is available only if Burst Mode is supported by the Sub Band in use.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Link quality fluctuates due to various environmental conditions. Dynamically switching between the possible modulation levels increases the probability of using the maximum modulation level suitable for the current radio link quality at any given moment. The decisions made by the Adaptive Modulation Algorithm relate to the modulation level selected for transmission of new frames (first trial attempt) as well as the modulation level for retransmissions.
Menus and Parameters Adaptive Modulation Option The Adaptive Modulation Option enables or disables the Adaptive Modulation decision algorithm. When enabled, the algorithm supports decrease/increase of transmission’s modulation levels between the lowest possible level to the value configured for the Maximum Modulation Level parameter. If the Maximum Modulation Level is set at the lowest possible level, the Adaptive Modulation algorithm has no effect. The default selection is Enable.

The range includes the base address. Available values range from 0 to 255. The default value is 0 (not used).
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration MIR and CIR Parameters The CIR (Committed Information Rate) specifies the minimum data rate guaranteed to the relevant subscriber. The MIR (Maximum Information Rate) value specifies the maximum data rate available for burst transmissions, provided such bandwidth is available. Under normal conditions, the actual Information Rate (IR) is between the applicable CIR and MIR values, based on the following formula: IR=CIR+K(MIR - CIR).
Menus and Parameters MIR: Uplink (SU only) Sets the Maximum Information Rate of the up-link from the SU to the AU. The MIR value cannot be lower than the corresponding CIR value. Available values range and default value are shown in Table 4-10 on page 4-87. The actual value will be the entered value rounded to the nearest multiple of 128 (N*128). CIR: Downlink (SU only) Sets the Committed Information Rate of the down-link from the AU to the SU.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Maximum Burst Duration (SU and AU) Sets the maximum time for accumulating burst transmission rights according to the Burst Duration algorithm. Available values range from 0 to 2000 (milliseconds). The default value is 5 (milliseconds), enabling a maximum burst of (0.005 X CIR) Kbps after a period of inactivity of 5 milliseconds or more. Maximum Delay (SU only) Sets the maximum permitted delay in the buffers system.
Menus and Parameters MIR Only Option (AU only) When the MIR Only Option is enabled, it forces the MIR/CIR algorithm to use MIR values only. The MIR/CIR algorithm determines the actual information rate for each of the supported SUs under changing conditions of demand, based on the configured CIR and MIR values. When the MIR Only Option is enabled, the MIR/CIR algorithm is overridden and forced to operate with MIR values only.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Security Parameters BreezeACCESS VL can support encryption of authentication messages and/or data frames using one of two encryption standards: ! WEP Wireless Equivalent Privacy algorithm. WEP is defined in the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standard and is based on the RSA’s RC4 encryption algorithm. ! AES Advanced Encryption Standard. AES is defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is based on Rijndael block cipher.
Menus and Parameters NOTE The Shared Key option cannot be selected before at least one Key is defined. In the SU, a Default Key Option that refers to a valid Key must be selected. Data Encryption The AU and all the SUs it serves should be configured to the same Authentication Algorithm Mixed operation not supported. The Dataoption.
