Device Setting
You can temporarily transform an AP into an SM and thereby use the spectrum analyzer
functionality. See Using the AP as a Spectrum Analyzer on Page 370. Otherwise, the
selection for this parameter is AP.
Link Speeds
Specify 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, BHs, and SMs in the operator network.
Configuration Source
See Setting the Configuration Source on Page 295.
CAUTION!
Do not set this parameter to BAM where both
• a BAM release earlier than 2.1 is implemented.
• the All Local SM Management parameter (in the VLAN Configuration
page of the AP) is set to Enable.
This combination causes the SMs to become unmanageable, until you gain
direct access with an Override Plug and remove this combination from the AP
configuration.
Sync Input
Specify the type of synchronization for this AP to use:
• Select Sync to Received Signal (Power Port) to set this AP to receive sync
from a connected CMMmicro.
• Select Sync to Received Signal (Timing Port) to set this AP to receive sync
from a connected CMM2, an AP in the cluster, an SM, or a BH timing slave.
◦ Select Generate Sync Signal where the AP does not receive sync, and no other
AP or BHM is active within the link range.
Webpage Auto Update
Enter the frequency (in seconds) for the web browser to automatically refresh the web-
based interface. The default setting is 0. The 0 setting causes the web-based interface to
never be automatically refreshed.
Bridge Entry Timeout
Specify the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with the existing
network infrastructure. The Bridge Entry Timeout should be a longer period than the ARP
(Address Resolution Protocol) cache timeout of the router that feeds the network.
