Service Class Creation
Introduction
When a Subscriber Station enters the network, its MAC address must be added to the network and associated with an SS
class. Upon entering the network, an SS uses either the default SS class configured on the BS (under the Subscriber
Station Authentication tab) or a pre-assigned SS class (assigned by the BS under the Subscriber Station List tab or by the
configured RADIUS server).
The MP.16 system comes with several predefined SS classes; however, the system also allows you to edit these classes
or define custom classes to fit your particular system’s needs. The following sections provide more information on SS
classes and custom SS class creation.

• Service Class Creation
• PIR Creation
• Service Flow Creation
• Subscriber Station Class Creation
For instructions on assigning a pre-defined class to an SS, see Subscriber Station Authentication (to select a default SS
class for all SSs entering the network when the Net Entry mode is set to “Unrestricted”) and Subscriber Station List (to
assign SS classes to individual SSs when the Net Entry mode is set to “Internally Authorized”).
NOTE: When the Net Entry mode is set to “Externally Authorized,” the SS class is assigned by the configured RADIUS
server.
Subscriber Station Classes: Overview
Figure 3-40 depicts the process of defining custom Subscriber Station classes.

The fundamental building blocks of an SS class are:
• PIRs, which determine which packets are mapped to which service flows.
