Canopy System User Guide
Electronic Serial
Number
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. Same as MAC Address.
Enable
To turn on a feature in the module after the feature activation file has
activated the module to use the feature. See also Activate.
Engine
Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) interface to the AP and
SMs. Unique sets of commands are available on this interface to
manage parameters and user access. Distinguished from SSE. See
also SSE.
ESN
Electronic Serial Number. 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. Same as MAC Address.
ESN Data Table
Table in which each row identifies data about a single SM. In tab-
separated fields, each row stores the ESN, authentication key, and
QoS information that apply to the SM. The operator can create and
modify this table. This table is both an input to and an output from the
Bandwidth and Authentication Manager (BAM) SQL database, and
should be identically input to redundant BAM servers.
/etc/services
File that stores telnet ports on the Bandwidth and Authentication
Manager (BAM) server.
EthBusErr Field
This field displays how many Ethernet bus errors occurred on the
Ethernet controller.
Ethernet Protocol
Any of several IEEE standards that define the contents of frames that
are transferred from one network element to another through Ethernet
connections.
FCC
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.A.
Feature Activation Key
Software key file whose file name includes the ESN of the target
Canopy module. When installed on the module, this file activates the
module to have the feature enabled or disabled in a separate operator
action.
Field-programmable
Gate Array
Array of logic, relational data, and wiring data that is factory
programmed and can be reprogrammed.
File Transfer Protocol
Utility that transfers of files through TCP (Transport Control Protocol)
between computing devices that do not operate on the same platform.
Defined in RFC 959. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc959.html.
FPGA
Field-programmable Gate Array. An array of logic, relational data, and
wiring data that is factory programmed and can be reprogrammed.
