Next, expand the group labeled
Ports (COM & LPT)
. A new COM port will
appear as
Gadget Serial
when the device is connected. Open a new session
for the newly added COM port using a terminal program such as
PuTTY, HyperTerminal, ProComm, etc. Note that the baud rate will be
ignored as this is not an actual serial port.
Using Configuration Scripts
Configuration scripts can be used to save, restore, and copy
configurations from unit to unit. The script is a text file containing a
simple list of parameter names and values. A snippet of a configuration
file follows:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1 ; IP address of the unit
IP Netmask: 255.255.0.0 ; IP netmask of the unit
RF bandwidth: 3.5 ; WiMAX RF bandwidth
Frequency: 3662.5 ; WiMAX operating frequency
To get started with configuration files, it is easiest to have a unit
generate a file. The generated file can then be saved, modified, and/or
downloaded to another unit in identical fashion. The transceiver’s
Maintenance & Status - Configuration Files
page (
Figure 11
) can be used to
generate the file. The file can be transferred to and from the unit via
TFTP, FTP, SFTP, or USB flash drive. Choose the appropriate value for
the
File Media
parameter. If using TFTP, FTP, or SFTP, configure the
Host Address parameter with the IP address of the host server.
The use of SFTP/FTP requires a username, password, and port for
transfer of data.
NOTE:
If using a USB flash drive, it must be formatted for use by
Microsoft Windows (FAT32 format), and be non-encrypted.
