4.4.5 Provisioning Slave VCUs
Note: The Slave VCUs management and configuration is performed through a remote connection
to the Master VCU, via the web management. Before provisioning the Slave VCUs verify that the
Master VCU unit, to which it is connected, has been provisioned (See section
4.4.1).
The Slave VCU RF parameters are set via the Master VCU, therefore there is no need to
configure the RF parameters individually for each connected Slave VCU. It is recommended to
assign each Slave VCU an identifiable name.
To Assign a Name to a Slave VCU:
1. Connect to the Master VCU unit (either locally as explained in section 4.4.1 or remotely) and
select the Slave VCU to be provisioned from the Network Topology Tree.
Each VCU has a default name of the form “VCUPx-name”, where:
• Px - Master VCU port number to which the Slave VCU is connected
• Name - user-defined name
2. To assign the Slave VCU an identifiable name:
• Select the Module Info Tab
• Click the Modify button
• Type the unit name (up to 17 alpha-numeric characters) and click OK.
3. Uplink Cable Compensation – enable this parameter ONLY if the bonded cable lengths vary
between the VCU and VAPs (reduces noise). It is NOT recommended to enable this option
for similar cable lengths between the VCU and the connected VAPs.
4. Product Type – (Read Only) corresponds to that defined for the Master VCU (see section
4.4.2).
