Auto-Configuration Mode
In Auto-configuration mode, EPs automatically retrieve many of the air interface parameters from the
Access Point. In auto-configuration mode, APs send information about the air interface in the broadcast
beacon. Using auto-configuration mode can dramatically reduce the complexity of configurating end
points. This makes for fewer errors in configuration. More importantly, it is easier to make changes to
the interface settings because the changes are only required to be made at the AP and not at every
single EP.
An example: the administrator wishes to add a higher modulation mode or change the network radius
or modify the max payload bytes to alter the uplink/downlink capacity of a sector.
With full configuration mode, the change must be made on each EP either over the air or by visiting the
sites. Then the AP is changed and the administrator confirms that all settings were made correctly and
the network is operational again. If a setting was made incorrectly on an EP, it may be necessary to roll
a truck to that EP to recover it with the correct setting.
With auto-configuration mode, the change is only made once at the AP. All EP’s then automatically
update their configuration and re-connect. If a setting is made that prevents an EP from re-connecting
automatically, the administrator can simply revert the setting on the AP and the network returns to its
previous operation with no site visits necessary.
Auto-Configuration is enabled on the Radio/Network Settings Page.
Configuration
Auto-Configuration is enabled on the Radio/Network Settings Page. All AP’s and EP’s in a sector must
have the same auto-configuration setting. Settings are one of:
Off:
full configuration mode
On, Fast Mode: recommended for new installations
Off, Compatibility Mode: recommended for migrating sectors to auto-configuration
Select On, Fast Mode and then hit save to apply the settings to both the Radio/Network Settings page
and the Radio/RF Settings Page
In Unlicensed 900 MHz operation, the follow parameters are auto-configured and no longer have to be
set at the EP as they are picked up automatically from the AP.
