Task 4: Configuring General and Unit settings
In the General tab of the SM, you may set the following parameters.
Table 23 SM General Configuration attributes
Attribute Meaning
Link Speeds From the drop-down list of options, select the type of link speed
for the Ethernet connection. The default for this parameter is
that all speeds are selected. The recommended setting is a single
speed selection for all APs and SMs in the operator network.
Ethernet Link
Enable/Disable
Specify whether to enable or disable Ethernet/802.3 connectivity
on the wired port of the SM. This parameter has no effect on the
wireless link. When you select Enable, this feature allows traffic
on the Ethernet/802.3 port. This is the factory default state of the
port. When you select Disable, this feature prevents traffic on
the port. Typical cases of when you may want to select Disable
include:
The subscriber is delinquent with payment(s).
You suspect that the subscriber is sending or flooding undesired
broadcast packets into the network, such as when
a virus is present in the subscriber's computing device.
the subscriber's home router is improperly configured.
Region This parameter allows you to set the region in which the radio
will operate.
The SM radio automatically inherits the Region type of the
master. This behavior ignores the value of the Region parameter
in the SM, even when the value is None. Nevertheless, since
future system software releases may read the value in order to
configure some other region-sensitive feature(s), this parameter
must be always set to the value that corresponds to the local
region.
Country
This parameter allows you to set the country in which the radio
will operate.
The SM radio automatically inherits the Country Code type of the
master. This behavior ignores the value of the Country
parameter in the SM, even when the value is None.
Nevertheless, since future system software releases may read the
value in order to configure some other region-sensitive
feature(s), this parameter must be always set to the value that
corresponds to the local region.
PMP 450i equipment shipped to the United States is locked to a
Region Code setting of “United States”. Units shipped to regions
other than the United States must be configured with the
corresponding Region Code to comply with local regulatory
requirements.
