NOTES:
HPC represents the Hi Priority Channel (enable or disable).
Where BAM, then SM is the indication, parameters for which BAM does not send values
are obtained from the SM. This is the case where the BAM server is operating on a BAM
release that did not support the feature. This is also the case where the feature enable/disable
flag in BAM is set to disabled. The values are those previously set or, if none ever were, then
the default values.
Where BAM is the indication, values in the SM are disregarded.
Where SM is the indication, values that BAM sends for the SM are disregarded.
The high-priority channel is unavailable to Series P7 and P8 SMs.
For any SM whose Authentication Mode parameter is not set to Authentication Required, the
listed settings are derived as shown in Table 55.

BAM Release 2.0 sends only MIR values. BAM Release 2.1 and Prizm Release 2.0 and 2.1 send
VLAN and high-priority channel values as well.
For the case where the Configuration Source parameter in the AP is set to
Authentication Server,
the SM stores a value for the Dynamic Learning VLAN parameter that differs from its factory
default. When Prizm does not send VLAN values (because VLAN Enable is set to No in Prizm),
the SM
• uses this stored Disable value for Dynamic Learning.
• shows the following in the VLAN Configuration web page:
o either Enable or Disable as the value of the Dynamic Learning parameter.
