DiffServ
Differentiated Services, consistent with RFC 2474. A byte in the type
of service (TOS) field of packets whose values correlates to the
channel on which the packet should be sent. The value is a numeric
code point. Cyclone maps each of 64 code points to values of 0
through 7. Three of these code points have fixed values, and the
remaining 61 are settable. Values of 0 through 3 map to the low-
priority channel; 4 through 7 to the high-priority channel. The
mappings are the same as 802.1p VLAN priorities. Among the settable
parameters, the values are set in the AP for all downlinks within the
sector and in the SM for each uplink.
Disable
To turn off a feature in the module after both the feature activation file
has activated the module to use the feature and the operator has
enabled the feature in the module. See also Activate and Enable.
DLT
Date of last transaction. A field in the data that the cmd show esn
command generates from data in the SQL database in the Bandwidth
and Authentication Manager (BAM) server. This field identifies the
date of the most recent authentication attempt by the SM.
DMZ
Demilitarized Zone as defined in RFC 2647. An Internet Protocol area
outside of a firewall. See
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2647.html
.
DynamicHost
ConfigurationProtocol
Protocol defined in RFC 2131 that enables a device to be assigned a
new IP address and TCP/IP parameters, including a default gateway,
whenever the device reboots. Thus Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and
allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cyclone
system. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2131.html. See also Static IP
Address Assignment.
ElectronicSerial
Number
Hardware address that the factory assigns to the module for
identification in the Data Link layer interface of the Open Systems
Interconnection system. This address serves as an electronic serial
number. Same as MAC Address.
ElementPack
A license for Prizm management of a multi-point sector and covers the
AP and up to 200 SMs, a backhaul link, or an Powerline LV link.
Enable
To turn on a feature in the module after the feature activation file has
activated the module to use the feature. See also Activate.
Engine
Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) interface to the AP and
SMs. Unique sets of commands are available on this interface to
manage parameters and user access. Distinguished from SSE. See
also SSE.
ESN
Electronic Serial Number. The hardware address that the factory
assigns to the module for identification in the Data Link layer interface
of the Open Systems Interconnection system. This address serves as
an electronic serial number. Same as MAC Address.
