Wireless Configuration
Step 2 of the installation wizard requires the installer to enter the wireless configuration
parameters.
Figure 39: Installation Wizard Wireless Configuration
Target MAC Address The MAC Address of the peer unit that will be at the other end of the
wireless link. This is used by the system to ensure the unit establishes a wireless link to the
correct peer.
The MAC Address can be found embedded within the serial number of the unit. The last six
characters of the serial number are the last three bytes of the unit’s MAC address.
Note: The 30/60 Mbps Backhaul system is shipped as a pair of units with pre-loaded correct
MAC addresses. MAC addresses will only need to be entered if an existing unit has to be
replaced in the field or the units configuration has been erased.
Master Slave Mode At this point it is necessary to decide which end will designated a Master.
The Master unit is the controlling unit with respect to the Point-to-Point link and its
maintenance. The master transmits until the link is made, while the Slave listens for its peer
and only transmits when the peer has been identified.
Link Mode Optimization By default Link Mode Optimization of a Point-to-Point link is set to ‘IP
Traffic’. In this configuration the wireless minimizes packet transmission errors by automatically
adapting the active modulation mode based on instantaneous vector error measurements
and/or the presence of codeword errors. This mode of operation is recommended for
connection oriented IP traffic protocols where packet loss is perceived by the protocols as an
indication of network congestion. It is recommended that when using this mode of operation
that the ARQ state is set to enabled. The ‘TDM Traffic’ mode of link optimization is
