The units buffer up to 1200 frames or 4 seconds worth of RF TX Data frames to support the ARQ
algorithm.
The AP unit maintains counters concerning the ARQ algorithm on a per SU basis. The counters shall
include the following data:
Total Transmitted Frames
Total Retransmission Attempts
Total “Maximum Attempts Reached”
The SU also maintains a counter concerning its use of the ARQ algorithm. Counters include the following data:
Total Transmitted Frames
Total Retransmission Attempts
Total “Maximum Attempts Reached”

Radio Management Access Via TCP/IP
The IP Address of an M2400S radio is for management purposes only. The IP address is not used for routing
purposes or passing traffic. Users should take care to set appropriate IP schemes for all management
activities including upgrading the radio’s firmware. It is not uncommon for users to assign public IP addresses
to radios so that they can be accessed from anywhere on the internet. In order to gain TCP/IP access to the
SU (from either side of the wireless network) ensure that the SU Switches 2 and 6 are turned on. In order to
gain TCP/IP access to the AP from the SU side of the wireless network ensure that AP Switch 7 is turned on.
SU Management from AP
The AP provides several commands which permit the management of associated SUs. In fact, most system
management functions are performed by issuing commands from the AP. Presented below are a few
examples of these commands:
su [all | <suid, 1..126>]
su info <suid, 1..126>
su linktest <suid, 1..126>
su password <suid|all> <rw|ro> <new password> <new password>
su ping <suid, 1..126>
su reboot <suid|all>
su sw <suid|all> <sw#, 0..7> <on | off>
su testrflink <suid, 1..126> <r>
su testrflink <all> <r>
Note: SU commands issued from the AP will automatically update the SU’s flash memory. No save ss
command is necessary.
You can remotely change the SUs password for a single SU or all SUs in a sector using the syntax below:
su password <suid | all> <rw | ro> <new password> <new password>
Example: su password all rw hello hello
to remotely change the read write password on all SUs to “hello”
You can change the SUs IP, subnet, and gateway using th syntax below:
su ipconfig <suid> <new ip> <new subnet> <new gateway>
