User`s guide

The First Master To Sync To parameter names the Master with which this Extension Point

will synchronize. If this field is filled in, there will be another choice, Second Master To

Sync To. If the first Master is unavailable to the Extension Point, it will look to the second

Master. Similarly, if the second choice is filled in, a Third Master To Sync To field will be

visible. If none of these fields is filled in, the radio will continually look for the best Master.

These parameters are case sensitive.

When High Priority Protocol Enabled is set to true, the Backbone radio is given an advan-

tage over wireless clients for use of the Channel, and thus is able to transmit more packets

than a wireless client. If you have three or more Extension Points in the same BSA, set this

parameter to False.

You may enable or disable the ability for the Backbone radio to roam when it loses synchro-

nization with its Master via the Roaming Enabled parameter. If the list of First Master To

Sync To, Second Master To Sync To, and Third Master To Sync To is configured, this

parameter is ignored. If the list is not configured and the Roaming Enabled field is set, the

radio will search for any available Master . When the list is not configured and roaming is

disabled, the radio will never roam.

SNMP Management

SNMP Management is described in Chapter 9.

Reset Extension Point to Factory Defaults

Use this option to reset all the parameters to default values. This option is only visible when

configuring the Extension Point via a terminal, not via telnet or SNMP.

Dump Configuration to Screen

This parameter displays the current configuration of the Extension Point to the screen. Using

a screen snapshot program you can save these settings. A member of the Proxim Technical

Support Department may ask you to print out this snapshot for troubleshooting purposes.
