Port Priority
An advanced Bridge Setup parameter for Base Station that enables you to influence
which port should be included in the Spanning Tree, when concurrent bridge ports
of a single bridge unit are connected in a loop.
A lower value makes a port more likely to become selected in the Spanning Tree
than the concurrent one that has a higher numerical value. Valid values: 0-255.
Initial value: ‘128’
R
Read Password
A security option that enables you to create a network management level by means
of a password.
For example, the ‘Read Password’ in combination with the correct IP address will
authorize a local LAN administrator to display only the AP Manager Monitor function
for a specific access point, but not to view or modify the access point configuration.
You can set the ‘Read Password’ using the SNMP tab in the AP Manager program.
Read/Write Password
A security option that enables you to create a network management level, by means
of a password.
For example, the ‘Read/Write’ password in combination with the correct IP address
will authorize a Corporate LAN Administrator to display all AP Manager Monitor
functions and to display or edit the Base Station configuration.
You can set the ‘Read/Write’ password using the SNMP tab in the AP Manager
program.
Remote Link Test
A BreezeNET diagnostics option of the Client Manager program. You can use the
Remote Link Test to analyze the Link Quality between a remote Base Station and a
station connected to the selected Base Station unit.
This option is often used to investigate wireless outdoor links, or to analyze the Link
Quality of wireless stations in a remote network.
Roaming
Roaming is a function that enables mobile BreezeNET devices to migrate between
different physical locations within the LAN environment.
To allow roaming each of these locations must be services by a Base Station.
The roaming functionality will monitor the communications quality with the Base
Stations and, if required, automatically connect to another access point to maintain
the network connection.
Roaming is only possible within one domain, i.e., as long as the mobile station is
within range of Base Stations that are identified by the same Wireless Network
Name.
S
Signal Level
The signal level indicates the strength of the BreezeNET signal as received at the
wireless network interface.
