14. Advanced Modes (VLAN, Video Mode)
An advanced configuration section is available under
Configuration
->
Advanced
, as shown below:
The first section affects the
accessibility
of the Radio’s
user interface
by Management computers
from within a VLAN.
Units will bridge VLAN frames transparently at all times. That is, all frames tagged with VLAN IDs
will be recognized and passed though the system. The unit will NOT tag or strip VLAN ID’s.
Network Mode
The multipoint system has two MAC layer operating modes:
Polling MAC
: Polling MAC is superior when the application case involves heavy traffic. Two
examples are ISP operation (download heavy) or video surveillance backhaul (upload heavy).
Private Network Mode
: In certain situations, customers may prefer to use Private network Mode.
For example, performance may be better in a private network where there is a lot of client unit to
client unit traffic (office branches, server located at a client unit building, etc)
Management Access
Enable/Disable.
If access to the Web GUI will be from a PC within a VLAN, then this feature
should be Enabled. If access is from a PC outside of a VLAN, then this feature should be disabled.
