TFTP Server

The TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server lets you transfer files across the network. You can download

configuration files, as well as image files for embedded software upgrades, and you can upload files from the

MP.11/MP.11a for backup. Here downloading means transferring files to the MP.11/MP.11a and uploading

means transferring files in the opposite direction.

ANTENNA ALIGNMENT DISPLAY

Antenna Alignment Display (AAD) provides a measurement of signal quality in an easy-to-interpret manner—a

numeric printed signal value at the CLI and serial ports. The SNR is numerically displayed on the CLI or serial

port by two decimal characters representing a number from 00 to 99. On the serial port, AAD is enabled by

default after booting.

To start the display, you must enable AAD and a wireless link must be established between the BSU and the SU.

Aiming is complete if moving in any direction results in a falling SNR value.

Antenna Alignment Commands

set aad enable local

Enables display of the local SNR. Local SNR is the SNR measured by the receiver at the near end.

set aad enable remote

Enables display of the remote SNR. Remote SNR is the SNR as measured by the receiver at the far end.

set aad enable average

Enables display of the average SNR. The average SNR is the average of the local and remote SNR.

set aad disable

Disables Antenna Alignment Display (Ctrl-C also disables AAD).

COMPLETING INSTALLATION

Make sure the waterproof cap is re-installed on the serial port.
