CHAPTER 6. BSU AND S UBSCRIBER CONFIGURATION
OTHER CONFIGURATION METHODS
Only configuration changes made using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager can
affect the PacketWave System’s configuration file on the TFTP server.
A limited set of configuration changes can be made in real time via the Web and
SNMP interfaces. But such changes are not recorded in, and cannot be saved to, the
configuration files on the TFTP server. When the configured equipment (Base Station
Unit or subscriber Indoor Unit) is rebooted, it will revert to the parameters in the
stored configuration file, and all changes made via the Web interface or SNMP will
be lost.
Therefore, configuration changes via the Web Interface or SNMP are recommended
only for testing and troubleshooting purposes. Should a configuration change need to
be made permanent, you must use the WaveCenter Configuration Manager to update
the relevant configuration file on the TFTP server.
NOTE: If a configuration change is made to operating parameters using the Web or
SNMP interface, and then duplicated using the CM and saved to the TFTP server,
the change will essentially survive a reboot. This is a way to make permanent con-
figuration changes without immediately rebooting the system.
