BASE STATION PARAMETERS
Command:
Tunnel = 0
Tunnel = 1
9
Description:
Set tunnel = 0 if the base station is attached to the IPNC via RS232. In this case the “slip
address” is not used or Ethernet configuration using an IPTurbo Converter.
Set tunnel = 1 if the base station is attached to the IPNC via Ethernet or IPTurbo Converter. In
this case the “slip address” is used as the endpoint of an IP tunnel between the base station and
the IPNC
Command: RF IP address = XXX.XX.XX.XXX
Description: Set this to an available IP address that is within the IPNC’s network.
10
Defaults: 172.16.23.1
Command: Tunnel address = XXX.XX.XX.XXX
Description: If tunnel = 1, set this to the appropriate address based upon where it is connected to the network.
11
Defaults: 123.45.67.89
Command: dhcprelayagent=enable; dhcprelayagent=disable
Description:
Enable/Disable DHCP Relay Agent. Use to enable/disable the base as the DHCP relay agent.
Unlock base before typing the command. The command is effective immediately.
NOTE: The base must have DHCP Relay Agent enabled if DHCP Client is enabled in the
mobile radio.
12
Defaults: Disable
Command: rxinprogressmessage=x
Description:
Enable/Disable Receiving Packet Look-Ahead. Where “x” is either 1 or 0 (1=enable, 0=disable).
Use to enable/disable the “receiving packet look-ahead “ feature. If enabled, as soon as base
receives the header of a packet, it sends a short packet to inform the IPNC of the length, source
address, and arrival time of the packet being received. IPNC Scheduler uses this information to
decide the appropriate time to send the next packet to the mobile radio. Unlock base before
typing the command. The command is effective immediately.
13
Defaults: 1
Command: mtu=n
Description:
Setting MTU. Where “n” is the desired MTU in decimal value, 1500 maximum. Use to change the
MTU. Unlock base before typing the command. The command is effective immediately. When
the base receives a packet with size greater than the MTU, it returns an ICMP packet (type=3,
code=4) to the source. The original received packet is discarded.
14
Defaults: 1480
Command: updatefirmware=filename
Description:
Update Base Firmware.
Where “filename” is the file name of the Firmware. The filename cannot contain any path, and
the file itself must reside in the “/tftpboot/” directory of the IPNC. Unlock the base before typing
the command. When Firmware update is finished, the base will automatically reboot.
15
Defaults: None
