1.3.3 Subscriber Unit Function
The Subscriber Unit is an integrated device that mounts externally at the customer site. This
device provides either ATM or Ethernet communications via the 25Mbps ATM wireless
connection with the Base Station. Subscriber Unit elements may include:
• Internal Junction Box
• Cabling.
• Switch, hub or router
1.3.4 System Configuration Selection
Before installing a new unit or upgrading a unit, the network manager must know what
configuration option to use. The upgrade process will place a unit in a certain state. The state of
this unit will be very important depending upon whether the unit is already being used in
production or about to be put into use. Units in production will need to be upgraded and placed
back into production using the configuration currently in place. New units will require the
proper configuration in order to come online fast and efficiently. This whole process relies on
the fact that the units are programmed properly.
Units operating in static mode will want to retain this mode. Selecting the wrong configuration
may result in a static unit being placed in a dynamic registration mode, making it potentially
unmanageable remotely. Similarly, upgrading a unit running in a routed topology to a bridge
topology will have a significant impact on functionality.

Configuration and User’s Guide.
Following are instructions for setting up Subscriber Units, Base Stations, AB-Extender and
