Configuring an AP for the Destination Configuring for the Destination
238
pmp-0229 (Mar 2013)
The General tab of the AP contains many of the configurable parameters that define how the AP
and the SMs in the sector operate. As shown in Figure 75, you may set the Configuration page
parameters as follows.
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 422. Otherwise, the selection for
this parameter is AP.
Link Speeds
From the drop-down list of options, select the type of link speed for the Ethernet connection. The
default for this parameter is that all speeds are selected: Auto 100F/100H/10F/10H. In this
setting, the two ends of the link automatically negotiate with each other whether the speed that
they will use is 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and whether the Ethernet traffic will be full duplex or half
duplex. However, Ethernet links work best when either
both ends are set to the same forced selection
both ends are set to auto-negotiate and both have capability in least one common speed and
traffic type combination.
Configuration Source
See Setting the Configuration Source on Page 324.
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 or CMM4.
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.
