Basic Configuration
Tsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 36
First configure one End Point as End Point A and the other End Point as End Point B. The list of parameters that must be
configured for linking of End Point A and End Point B are:
Network Name
Network Secret
Encryption (when used)
Frequency Channel (when available)
Channel Bandwidth
Data Rate
See the description of these parameters and how to configure them in Basic Configuration Information.
3.5 Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are logical groupings of network hosts. Defined by software settings, other VLAN
members or resources appear (to connected hosts) to be on the same physical segment, no matter where they are attached
on the logical LAN or WAN segment. They simplify allowing traffic to flow between hosts and their frequently- used or
restricted resources according to the VLAN configuration.
QB-8100 End Points are fully VLAN-ready; however, by default, VLAN support is disabled. Before enabling VLAN support,
certain network settings should be configured and network resources such as VLAN-aware switches should be available,
based on the type of configuration.
For details on how to configure VLAN parameters, refer to VLAN Configuration (Bridge Mode only).
3.6 Quality of Service (QoS)
NOTE: Quality of Service is configured on the End Point A.
The Quality of Service (QoS) feature is based on the 802.16 standard and defines the classes, service flows, and packet
identification rules for specific types of traffic. The main priority of QoS is to guarantee a reliable and adequate transmission
quality for all types of traffic under conditions of high congestion and bandwidth over-subscription.
For a complete discussion on QoS, see Quality of Service (QoS) Configuration.
There are already several pre-defined QoS classes, SFCs and PIRs available that you may choose from which cover the most
common types of traffic. If you want to configure something else, you start building the hierarchy of a QoS class by defining
PIRs; you define the QoS class by associating those PIRs to relevant SFCs with priorities to each PIR within each SFC. Qos can
be applied on standard 802.3 ethernet frames as well as PPPoE encapsulated frames.
