4.4 Functional
Description
4.4.1 Overview
The AN-80i can operate as a standard wireless bridge (pass-through mode), as a VLAN-
aware wireless switch, or a combination of both.
The following diagram illustrates a network implementation using two VLAN groups and
a pass through group. The packets tagged with VID=107 are classified as data traffic,
and the packets tagged with VID=108 are classified as voice (VoIP) traffic. Subscribers
#1 and #2 are members of the Data group, while only subscriber #2 is a member of the
Voice group. Subscriber #3 is a member of the Pass through group and receives traffic
that does not match the VID of the Data or Voice groups.

4.4.2 Minimum Setup Requirements
A minimum set of parameters must be configured to enable data and management traffic
on any PMP deployment:
1.
Links:
Links identify each subscriber in the sector (by MAC address) and set the
maximum uplink and downlink throughput (UBR) for each wireless link.
2.
Groups:
Groups classify and filter traffic to/from core network (sector controller
Ethernet port). A Group definition must be created for each VLAN to be forwarded
over the sector controller wireless interface. The Group also defines multicast
characteristics for traffic using this VID. A 'pass through' Group can be created to
manage traffic not matched by any VLAN Group.
3.
Connections:
Connections classify and filter traffic to/from the remote network
(subscriber Ethernet port). A Connection definition must be created for each VLAN to
be forwarded over the subscriber wireless interface. The Connection also defines the
unicast uplink and downlink QoS for this traffic.
Important
: Redline's PMP Configuration Tool must be used to obtain accurate QoS
values for Groups and Connections.
