WaveLAN Parameters
Value Range
Usage
PORT xxx
'x' in the set [300, 390, 3c0, 3e0 ]
Identifies the card's I/O base address (default '300').
Value must correspond to I/O Base set by switches on
the card (see Chapter 2).Optional parameter if '300'.
NWID xxxx
'xxxx' hexadecimal value in the
range 0100H through FFFFH
Identifies the WaveLAN Network ID. Recommended for
stand-alone networks.. If used, must be same for all
WaveLAN cards in the network cell.
The default value is '0100'. Using this value may result in
unintentional overlap with adjacent WaveLAN cells using
the same default value.
DOMAIN ID xxxx
'xxxx' hexadecimal value in the
range 0000H through FFFFH
This parameter turns on auto-connect. If not used, or if
set to '0000', station cannot auto-connect to a
WavePOINT with a different NWID.
If used, must be same for all WaveLAN cards and
access points in the area where auto-connect is allowed
BEACON KEY xxxx
'xxxx' hexadecimal value in the
range 0000H through FFFFH
Used to encode the NWID transmitted by a
WavePOINT. If used, must be same for all WaveLAN
cards and WavePOINTs in the area where auto-connect
is allowed. '0000' = no encoding.
NODE ADDRESS xx........xx
12 hexadecimal digits
Locally administered address which overrides the card's
factory installed Universal MAC address.
The 2nd digit must be 2, 6, A, or E.
STATION NAME x.............x
Any alpha-numeric string (max. 31
characters - no spaces allowed)
Can be used by the Point-to-Point Diagnostic utility
ENCRYPTION KEY xx........xx
16 hexadecimal digits (or '0')
A 16 hexadecimal digit value enables encryption. The
value '0' disables encryption.
Required Parameters:
To enable the card to auto-connect to a WavePOINT a (non-zero) Domain ID is required. All other parameters are optional.
If the auto-connect feature is not required, reset the DOMAIN ID to '0000', and set the NWID.
