4.3.2 Minimum Setup Requirements
A minimum set of parameters must be configured to enable data and management traffic
on any PMP deployment:
1. Create one or more
Links
to identify each subscriber in the sector, and set the wireless
link operating characteristics, including the maximum uplink and downlink
modulation.
2. Create one or more
Groups
(VLAN or pass-through) and set the operating
characteristics of this group.
3. Create one or more
Connections
(to
Groups
) for each subscriber, to assign membership
to at least one
Group
.
The following table provides a summary of the configuration shown in the pass-through
configuration diagram above. The actual
Group ID
and
Link ID
values are not available
until these items have been created during configuration of the system. This configuration
passes all data traffic as a standard PMP configuration.

Notes: 1.
The
Group
ID, Conn ID, and Link ID values are assigned automatically and
must be read from the screen after items are created.
2. The QoS settings must be determined using the PMP Configuration Tool.
4.3.3 Packet
Classification
The AN-80i PMP deployment can be configured for use with VLAN tagged traffic,
untagged traffic, or a combination these two types. Ingress packets received on the
Ethernet port are classified into tagged or pass-through groups according to the criteria in
the following table. The
Group
settings apply to packets processed at the sector controller,
while
Connection
settings apply to packets processed at the subscriber.
Table 10
:
PMP - Packet Classification
Type Description
Tagged
Traffic
Packet has a VLAN tag and there is a Group/Connection configured for this VID.
Sector Controller: Packets are forwarded over the wireless link to all subscribers
with Connections to this VLAN Group.
Subscribers: Packets
are
forwarded to the sector controller. The sector
controller forwards the packets to the local Ethernet port and
subscribers with Connections to this VLAN Group.
Pass-
Through
Traffic
The packet does not have a VLAN tag, or no Group/Connection exists for this VID.
If a pass-through Group has not been defined, unclassified packets are discarded.
If a pass-through Group has been defined, classified packets are forwarded based
on the rules for tagged traffic. The packet VLAN information is not modified.
