MAC Address
Media Access Control address. The hardware address that the factory
assigns to the module for identification in the Data Link layer interface
of the Open Systems Interconnection system. This address serves as
an electronic serial number.
Management
Information Base
Space that allows a program (agent) in the network to relay
information to a network monitor about the status of defined variables
(objects).
Master
Designation that defines the role of a component relative to the role of
another. This designation both applies to a Backhaul module that
provides synchronization over the air to another Backhaul module
(a Backhaul timing slave) and applies to a Bandwidth and
Authentication Manager (BAM) server whose SQL database is
automatically copied onto a redundant BAM server (BAM slave). In
each case, the master is not a product. Rather, the master is the role
that results from deliberate configuration steps.
Maximum Information
Rate (MIR)
The cap applied to the bandwidth of an SM or specified group of SMs.
In the Cambium implementation, this is controlled by the Sustained
Uplink Data Rate, Uplink Burst Allocation, Sustained Downlink Data
Rate, and Downlink Burst Allocation parameters.
Media Access Control
Address
Hardware address that the factory assigns to the module for
identification in the Data Link layer interface of the Open Systems
Interconnection system. This address serves as an electronic serial
number.
MIB
Management Information Base. Space that allows a program (agent)
in the network to relay information to a network monitor about the
status of defined variables (objects).
MIR
See Maximum Information Rate.
