Configuring an SM for the Destination Configuring for the Destination

• Disable—If this SM loses sync from the AP, then propagate the sync pulse to the BH timing
master or other AP.
See Wiring to Extend Network Sync on Page 426.
The General tab also contains the following buttons.
Multicast Destination Address
Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), a module exchanges multicast addresses with the
device to which it is wired on the Ethernet interface. Although some switches (CMMmicro, for
example) do not pass LLDP addresses upward in the network, a radio can pass it as the value of
the Multicast Destination Address parameter value in the connected device that has it populated.
In this way, an SM can report to Prizm, for example, the multicast address of a connected remote
AP, and thus allow Prizm to discover that AP. To allow this, set the message mode in the remote
AP to LLDP Multicast. Set this parameter in the SM to Broadcast. The SM will pass this address
in broadcast mode, and the CMMmicro will pass the address upward in the network, since it does
not discard addresses that it receives in broadcast mode.
Where the AP is not behind another device, the Broadcast mode will allow discovery of the AP.
Coordinates
Physical radio location data may be configured via the Latitude, Longitude, and Height fields.
Save Changes

However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of the module.
Reboot
When you click this button
1. the module reboots.
2. any changes that you saved by a click of the Save Changes button are
implemented.
NAT and IP Tabs of the SM with NAT Disabled
An example of the NAT tab in an SM with NAT disabled is displayed in Figure 87.
