BreezeNET DS.11b User’s Guide
Manual Version 1.0
Introduction
To configure your BreezeNET network beyond the basic configuration a
number of advanced aspect will be discussed:
! Advanced Parameters,
! Configuring Large Networks,
! Modifying the Configuration,
! Restoring a Back-up Configuration,
! Dual PC Card Configuration, and
! About IP Addresses and Subnets.
Advanced Parameters
You may wish to explore the “Advanced Parameters” options as supported by
your Base Stations, especially when administering larger networks that
encompass more than 10 Base Stations.
Advanced parameter options include:
! Advanced parameters, such as, RTS/CTS Medium Reservation, Distance
between Base Stations.
! Bridge parameters that enable you to filter specific networking protocols
and/or traffic between specific stations.
! Base Station parameters, or
! SNMP parameters
For most networks, the default settings for the advanced parameters will
provide more than reliable network connectivity. You are advised to change
these parameters only when you are familiar to the type of parameters, for
example based upon your experience and expertise with similar parameters in
wired and/or BreezeNET networking environments.
To set the advanced parameters, simply follow the instructions as described in
the previous section, Configuring Infrastructure Networks, to connect to the
Base Station that you wish to configure.
NOTE:
A number of the advanced parameters described below may be marked as “common”
parameters. This means that they should be the same for all Base Stations in your network
(see also Configuring Large Networks).
