Translation Bridging
If you want the Translation Bridging feature, select Enabled. This has numerous implications. For
a full description of them, see Uplink Frame on Page 81.
Send Untranslated ARP
If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Enabled, then the Send Untranslated ARP
parameter can be
• disabled, so that the AP will overwrite the MAC address in Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP) packets before forwarding them.
• enabled, so that the AP will forward ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the
MAC address.
See Uplink Frame on Page 81 and Address Resolution Protocol on Page 164.
If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Disabled, then the Send Untranslated ARP
parameter has no effect.
SM Isolation
Prevent or allow SM-to-SM communication by selecting from the following drop-down menu
items:
• Disable SM Isolation (the default selection). This allows full communication between SMs.
• Block SM Packets from being forwarded. This prevents both multicast/broadcast and
unicast SM-to-SM communication.
• Block and Forward SM Packets to Backbone. This not only prevents multicast/broadcast
and unicast SM-to-SM communication but also sends the packets, which otherwise would
have been handled SM to SM, through the Ethernet port of the AP.
Update Application Address
Enter the address of the server to access for software updates on this AP and registered SMs.
Dynamic Rate Adapt
This parameter is present in only PMP 100 Series APs. You should generally keep this parameter
set to 1x/2x to allow the module to automatically the operation rate. For troubleshooting, you may
lock the rate down (Disabled), but be aware that this locks down the operation rate for all uplinks
and downlinks across the sector. See 2X Operation on Page 89.
