IP addressing of terminals
When logging into a link, it is important to understand the relationship between the Local / Remote and
the Near end / Far end terminals.
The Near end terminal is the terminal that has its ethernet port physically connected to your IP
network.
The Far end terminal is the terminal that is at the other end of the link from the Near end terminal and
communicates through the management connection over the radio link to the Near end terminal.
The Local terminal is the terminal that SuperVisor is logged into and is displayed on the left hand side
of the SuperVisor screen. The Local terminal can be the Near end or Far end terminal.
The Remote terminal is the terminal that is at the other end of the link from the Local terminal and is
displayed on the right hand side of the SuperVisor screen.
To prevent confusion when operating SuperVisor, determine the IP address of the Near end terminal
and log into that terminal. This is now the Local terminal.
The distinction is important as:
ƒ Some functions can only be carried out on the Local terminal.
ƒ
Having different configurations at each end of the link will disrupt communications between the
terminals. In these circumstances it is important to make changes to the Far end terminal of the
link first. The link is then lost only until the near end configuration is completed and communication
restored.
If the Near end terminal is modified first, the link is lost for much longer as staff will have to either
physically visit the Far end terminal to restore the link, or restore the near end to match the far
end, re-establish the link, then start the process again, this time with the Far end terminal first.
