IMPORTANT
Prodigy
1.0
and
Prodigy
2.0
are
not
compatible
with
each
other.
Do
not
implement
the
two
protocol
versions
within
the
same network.
If you are expanding an existing network using new Cisco
hardware
components,
make
sure
that
all
components
are
compatible with each other by:
1. Upgrading all network components within the same
network to firmware version 6.5 or higher, and:
2. Configuring all network components within the same
network to operate using
either
Prodigy 1.0 or Prodigy
2.0.
Use
of
Prodigy
1.0
is
only
recommended
if
the
network
contains older Cisco devices that are not compatible with
Prodigy 2.0.
Select
the
Prodigy
version
you
need
by
using
the
General
Mode
page of the Configurator interface.

RACER™ is Cisco's web-based configuration portal. It is the primary
interface with which to configure Cisco radio devices.
You can operate FM Racer using any internet-connected computer with a

Virtual Gigabit
Virtual Gigabit (VGbe) is a proprietary technology that allows a substantial
upgrade in throughput performance for the Cisco FM1200 Volo.
VGbe works by ‘bonding’ the unit’s two physical Ethernet ports into a
single ‘virtual’ port. This allows a throughput increase from the standard
maximum of 100 Mbps to a theoretical maximum of 150 Mbps (under
optimal wireless link conditions).
To enable Virtual Gigabit, software plug-in
FM-VGBE
must be installed.
Refer to
“Plug-in management procedures” (page 145)
special configuration is required for any other equipment (network
switches, routers etc.)
