Chapter 6: Network Tab
The
Network
tab allows you to configure settings for the
management network.
There are two ways to access the airFiber Configuration
Interface:
•
CONFIG Port
Enabled by default. Use a direct
connection to the
CONFIG
port for out-of-band
management.
•
In-Band Management
Disabled by default. You can
enable it on the
Network
tab to allow management
through the local
DATA
port or the
DATA
port at the
other end of the link.
The
CONFIG
port and in-band management share the
default IP address of
192.168.1.20
.

Management Network Settings
In-Band Management
Disabled by default. To enable
in-band management through the local
DATA
port or the
DATA
port at the other end of the link, select the checkbox.
Note:
If
In-Band Management
is enabled, ensure that
each airFiber radio of a link has a unique
IP Address
. If
the airFiber radios use the same
IP Address
, then you
may lose access via the
DATA
and
CONFIG
ports.
Management IP Address
The airFiber AF24 can use a
static IP address or obtain an IP address from its DHCP
server.
•
DHCP
The local DHCP server assigns a dynamic IP
address, gateway IP address, and DNS address to the
airFiber AF24.
Note:
We do not recommend the
DHCP
option
because if you do not know the IP address, then
the only way to manage the airFiber AF24 is
to reset the airFiber AF24 to its factory default
settings. (Press and hold the
Reset
button for
more than five seconds.) Its default
Management IP
Address
is reset to
192.168.1.20
.
