CHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP
• TFTP Server — The server from which the Base Station Units and subscriber
Indoor Units download configuration files.
• SNTP Server — A Simple Network Time Protocol server is recommended for
synchronizing the PacketWave Base Station Unit’s date and time with other
systems on the network. (If there is no SNTP server, the Base Station Unit’s
date and time must be set via the Web interface.)
NOTE: Subscriber Indoor Units obtain the date and time from the BSU. Whenever
the BSU’s date/time is changed, it downloads the new date/time to all subscriber
Indoor Units.
• DNS Server — Access to a DNS server is necessary for the resolution of
Internet domain names.
Optional Servers
Depending on the features and functions to be implemented, additional servers may
be required. These servers can be identified in the DHCP server configuration or in
the BSU configuration.
NOTE: If different servers of a particular type are identified, the server identified in
the DHCP configuration will prevail.
• SMTP Server — A Simple Mail Transfer Protocol server is required for the
emailing of event alerts. (Alternatively, this server can be identified in the BSU
configuration.)
• Syslog Server — A syslog server may be specified for logging of event mes-
sages from the Base Station Units. (Alternatively, this server can be identified
in the BSU configuration.)
• DHCP Server for CPE — A different DHCP server than the one used for the
BSU can be specified for Subscriber Indoor Units.
• SNMP Managers — All Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units
include SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agents which can be
accessed by an SNMP manager for monitoring and limited configuration.
The SMTP, Syslog, and CPE DHCP servers can be identified via the WaveCenter
Configuration Manager’s BSU — MAIN — IP Servers screen. (The SMTP and
Syslog servers can also be specified in the DHCP server’s configuration file.) The
SNMP managers are identified via the BSU — SNMP and CPE — SNMP screen
