MP.11-R Installation and Management System Overview 3 This chapter provides an overview of the system.
System Overview Changing Basic Configuration Information MP.11-R Installation and Management NOTE: Non-US installers should not add an antenna system until the Country is selected, the unit is rebooted, and the proper power level is configured. The output power level of the final channel selected by DFS scan can be found in the Event Log. The Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) feature is enabled automatically when you choose a country with a regulatory domain that requires it.
System Overview Changing Basic Configuration Information MP.11-R Installation and Management DFS is required for three purposes: 1. Radar avoidance both at startup and while operational. To meet these requirements, the BSU scans available frequencies at startup for the presence of a radar signal on all available frequencies. If a radar signal is detected on any DFS enabled channel, the system will blacklist the channel for a period of 30 minutes in accordance with FCC, IC, and ETSI regulations.
System Overview Changing Basic Configuration Information MP.11-R Installation and Management 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 relevant data rate to determine the actual power level. NOTE: This feature only lets you decrease your output power; you cannot increase your output power beyond the maximum the radio allows for your frequency and data rate.
System Overview SU Registration MP.11-R Installation and Management SU Registration The list of parameters you must configure for registration of the SU on a BSU are: • Network Name • Base Station System Name (when used; otherwise, leave blank) • Network Secret • Encryption (when used) • Frequency Channel (when available) See System Parameters to see the description of these fields and to configure them.
System Overview Dynamic Data Rate Selection (DDRS) MP.11-R Installation and Management Dynamic Data Rate Selection (DDRS) The WORP Dynamic Data Rate Selection (DDRS) lets the BSU and SUs monitor and calculate the remote average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and adjust the transmission data rate to an optimal value to provide the best possible throughput according to the current communication conditions and link quality during run-time.
System Overview Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) MP.11-R Installation and Management Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are logical groupings of network hosts.
