Operation & Administration – 107
Multicast Mode
(Master)
Traffic transmission mode:
"Multicast" - conventional mode that uses modulation one
step lower than the lowest modulation among the traffic
receivers when transmitting the "multicast/broadcast" frames.
In the case of "multicast" streams information from "IGMP
Snooping" module is used to obtain a list of
subscribers.Consequently, thelist of all connected sector
clients is usedfor the "broadcast" traffic.
Transformation of"Multicast" to "Unicast". In case two or
more clients are assigned to the same "multicast" stream a
copy of source stream will be sent to each of them in the
"Unicast" mode.
"Unicast 2", "Unicast 3", "Unicast 4", "Unicast 5"- the
number of subscribers limitation. Conventional
"Multicast" mode will be used when the number is
exceeded.
"Unicast All" - transformation is always executed.
Transformation to "Unicast" requires memory data copying that
increasesCPUload. Besides, the use of "Unicast" streams
increases the volume of transmitted traffic proportional to the
number of subscribers and reduces the sector available
throughput.
Authentication Mode Set the mode:
"static" -the unit can establish connections only with units,
which MAC-addresses are listed in the "Static Links
19
" section
public- the unit can establish connections with any other units
which have the same security key and the corresponding
wireless connection settings
"remote" - centralized authentication mode with remote
server (e.g. RADIUS or relay). In this mode any node can
request the information from a remote authentication server
(remote authentication server parameters are set using “AAA
command). This means that the node must have an access to
this server (e.g. usingIP)
NOTE
"Unicast 3" mode is set by default.
NOTE
Transformation of"Multicast" to "Unicast" via CLI is described in
the section "mint command
18
".
