Transmit Frame Spreading
If you select Enable, then a BHS between two BHMs can register in the assigned BHM
(not the other BHM). Where the BHS operates on Release 4.0 or later, we strongly
recommend that you select this option.
With this selection, the BHM does not transmit a beacon in each frame, but rather
transmits a beacon in only pseudo-random frames in which the BHS expects the beacon.
This allows multiple BHMs to send beacons to multiple BHSs in the same range without
interference.
Site Name
Specify a string to associate with the physical module. This parameter is written into the
sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an NMS. The buffer size for this field
is 128 characters.
Site Contact
Enter contact information for the module administrator. This parameter is written into the
sysContact SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an NMS. The buffer size for this
field is 128 characters.
Site Location
Enter information about the physical location of the module. This parameter is written into
the sysLocation SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an NMS. The buffer size for
this field is 128 characters.
The Configuration page also provides the following buttons.
Save Changes
When you click this button, any changes that you made on the Configuration page are
recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of
the module.
Undo Saved Changes
When you click this button, any changes that you made but were not committed by a
reboot of the module are undone.
Set to Factory Defaults
When you click this button, all configurable parameters on all configurable pages are
reset to the factory settings.
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.
Whenever you change a parameter in the Configuration page, the system highlights the
Reboot button as a reminder that a reboot (in addition to a save) is required to implement
the changes.
