66 APCD–NC003–1.0
Radio Channel A 22 MHz wide RF channel with a center frequency specified
in Appendix C. In any given network, all NCL1135s must
operate on the same radio channel to communicate.
Radio Type This parameter specifies the role of the NCL1135 in the radio
network. Each NCL1135 is classified as either a master or a
station.
Router A device that connects and passes packets between two or
more network segments. A router filters or forwards an
incoming packet based on the IP address of the packet.
Routers use static routes which take precedence over routes
chosen by all dynamic routing protocols. See also
Bridge .
Static Route A route that is explicitly configured and entered in the routing
table. Static routes take precedence over routes chosen by
dynamic routing protocols.
Station An NCL1135 defined as a station synchronizes with an
NCL1135 master that has the same station and master ID
setting.
System Name A name that allows a user to identify a particular NCL1135.
Once the Name is assigned, the system name appears as the
prompt.
System Password A set of characters that prevents unauthorized access to
console commands. The same password applies when
accessing the console from the RS-232 port, from the network
using Telnet, or when connecting to the FTP server.
Unit ID In the case of a station, unit ID provides the wireless address
at the station. In the case of a Master, a list of unit IDs forms
the access list of stations allowed to communicate with the
Master. Any station not on the list will be disabled whenever
the station attempts to access the Master.
