쐎
Adding a new non-generic CPE requires manual configuration over all HG/
LV/MV equipment. Automatic VLAN/OVLAN reconfiguration is not allowed.
쐅
Every MV node has a specific configuration file because the MV node gets
the translation table inside this file. Any LV node hanging from this MV
node gets the translation table from the MV node.
쐈
The transformer station of each HG and LV repeater is known. The HG or the
LV repeater cannot change transformer stations.

Autoconfiguration Overview
The objective of the autoconfiguration process is the centralized management of
a Wisconsin network using configuration files stored in a centralized database
that are transferred to each piece of equipment when it boots. These files con-
tain all of the information that a node needs in order to function in a correct
manner.
Below is a brief description of the process which is discussed in more detail later
in the manual:
쐃
Every node starts with the same default factory configuration: Access CPE;
쐇
Using IFCP (explained in Section 12.4) the dLAN 200 DSpro adapter disco-
vers if it is booting in a network with VLANs or not. If a network has been
built using VLANs to isolate traffic between data, voice over IP or manage-
ment traffic, it is necessary to know the Management VLAN of that network
segment for the DHCP request to reach the backbone. The information
passed between dLAN 200 DSpro adapters during IFCP is called the trans-
lation table;
쐋
Using DHCP protocol, each node gets its IP configuration (IP address, net-
mask and gateway), the phone number (in the case of CPEs) and the name
of its corresponding autoconfiguration file;
쐏
Using TFTP protocol, the nodes download the autoconfiguration file and
configure the firmware accordingly.
In addition to the main steps outlined above, but there is further point to consi-
der:
쎲
In order to achieve a secure network, powerline (PL) authentication is intro-
duced. When a new slave is trying to access the PL network and connecting
to a master or a repeater, the master or repeater may perform a RADIUS
request to authenticate the user. The RADIUS server will reply with informa-
