is performed at the subscriber station based on the connection configuration.
Packets are forwarded unicast (known address) or multicast (unknown address).
The packet is also forwarded to the sector controller Ethernet port (if enabled).
A VLAN tag is added (outermost) and set to the VID (Group VLAN ID field)
for this group.
Pass-through
: Select pass-through to create a group to process all untagged
packets and packets where the outermost VLAN ID tag does not match the
Group VLAN ID field value of any other group configuration. Only one pass-
through group can be defined for each sector controller.
Note: If a pass-through group is not configured, all untagged packets received
at the sector controller Ethernet ingress port are discarded.
Packet received from sector controller Ethernet ingress port:
The packet is forwarded unmodified over the wireless to all subscriber stations
participating in this group (subscriber station with connections to the pass-
through group). Further processing is performed at each subscriber station
based on the connection configuration. Packets are forwarded unicast (known
address) or multicast (unknown address).
Packet received from wireless interface (from subscriber station):
The packet is forwarded unmodified over the wireless to all subscriber stations
participating in this group (subscriber station with connections to the pass-
through group). Further processing is performed at each subscriber station
based on the connection configuration. Packets are forwarded unicast (known
address) or multicast (unknown address).
The packet is also forwarded to the sector controller Ethernet port (if enabled).
The packet priority is set (default priority field). The packet is forwarded to the
Ethernet port.
Group VLAN ID
: Enter the VID associated with this group definition.
This field is used only when 'Tagged' is selected in the Group Tagging Mode field.
Default Priority
: Enter the default 802.1p priority setting.
The default priority setting is used only when the Group Tagging Mode is set to
'pass-though' mode and the associated Connection Tagging Mode is set to
'Tagged'. In this case, there is no priority information available from the sector
controller ingress packet, and the group Default Priority value is used when adding
the 802.1Q tag (Connection VLAN ID) to the packet being forwarded to the
subscriber station Ethernet (egress) port.
SC Ethernet Enable
: Check this box
to enable duplex communications with
the sector controller Ethernet port. When unchecked (
), packets received from
the wireless interface are not forwarded to the sector controller Ethernet port.
Wireless traffic parameters
Group QoS Level
: Enter the group bandwidth index. This index is used to set the
bandwidth range when transmitting multicast and broadcast traffic to group
members. A default value of '5' is recommended.
