radio Operator's Manual
You can also turn
off
the ethernet port, but only if your command session is over the console
port, or remotely over an RF link. This can be useful for test purposes if you suspect that you
created a loop in the network and want to shut down this port without turning off the radio.
timeout-sec=5..10000
Sets the time the radio will retain Ethernet addresses obtained from the network.
multi-cast-timeout-sec=5..10000
Sets the time the radio will retain Ethernet multi-cast addresses obtained from the network. This
can not be set to a value below the station-timeout.
Examples:
>
ethernet speed=10fdx timeout=100
node
type=hub
or
remote
or
root-1
or
root-2
or
branch
or
leaf
For a point-to-point network configure one of the two radios as the
hub
and the other as the
remote
. At the hub also set the
max-children
parameter to 1, which optimizes the network for
point-to-point.
For a point-to-multipoint network configure the central radio as the
hub
and all other radios as
remote
. In a fixed installation you would typically deploy the remote radios with directional
antennas pointing at the hub radio.
In a tree network configure the central radio as the
root
. Use
root-1 i
f you have a single
antenna at the root. You may also deploy a root with two antennas on ports A and B in which
case use
root-2
.
In a tree network all other nodes must be configured as either
branch
or
leaf
. A branch node
will attempt to connect to a parent (which can be the root or another branch) using the rf-1
configuration. It will also be acting as a parent and serve as an access point using the rf-2
configuration.
A
leaf
node will attach to the parent (root or branch) using the rf-1 configuration.
When you attempt to configure a node to be a branch or a root the radio may indicate that it is
not authorized to operate in that mode. In that case contact Afar to purchase a key to operate
the radio in the tree topology.
max-children=1..32
At the hub, root or branch nodes this value specifies the maximum number of children that will
be allowed to join the network through this access point. Once the radio has the maximum
children specified it stops allocating a slot for new nodes to join the network. This improves
the inbound throughput slightly, specially if the number of children is small. It also prevents an
unauthorized radio to join the network. In a point-to-point link make sure you set this
parameter to 1.
