Interface Parameters

Base Mode

The following parameters may be configured or viewed:

• Interface Type: The interface type can be WORP Satellite or WORP Base.

• MAC Address: The factory-assigned MAC address of the unit. This is a read-only field.

• Network Name: A Network Name is a name given to a network so that multiple networks can reuse the same

frequency without problems. An SU can only register to its base if it has the same Network Name. The Network Name

is one of the parameters that allow a Subscriber Unit to register on a Base Station. The Base Station System Name

and Frequency Channel also are parameters to guide the SU to the proper BSU on the network, but they provide no

security. Basic security is provided through encryption, as it causes none of the messages to be sent in the clear.

Further security is provided by mutual authentication of the BSU and SU using the Network Secret. The Network

Name can be 2 to 32 characters in length.

• Operational Mode: This field indicates the operational mode of the unit depending upon the specific Tsunami MP.11.

This operational mode cannot be changed as it is based upon a license file.

• Transmit Power Control (TPC): By default, the unit lets you transmit at the maximum output power for the country/

band or regulatory domain and frequency selected. However, with Transmit Power Control (TPC), you can adjust the

output power of the unit to a lower level in order to reduce interference to neighboring devices or to use a higher gain

antenna without violating the maximum radiated output power allowed for your country/band. Also, some countries/

bands that require DFS also require the transmit power to be set to a 6 dB lower value than the maximum allowed

EIRP when link quality permits. You can see your unit’s current output power for the selected frequency in the event

log.

The event log shows the selected power for all data rates, so you must look up the proper data rate to determine the

actual power level.
