AP Locations File Syntax and Guidelines
The AP Locations file is used by the Remote radio to determine which
Access Point to connect to when operating in
Hopping w/ Hand-offs
mode.
The AP Locations file is a simple text file containing information about
the location and configuration of all Access Points that the Remote can
associate with. The file is filled in by creating “AP definition blocks”
using tags and labels. The <AP> tag is used to begin a definition block
and the </AP> tag ends the block. Within the block, you can declare sev-
eral parameters using a LABEL=VALUE syntax. The possible labels
are:
•
NAME
—The name of the AP. Typically set to the
Device Name
configured on the AP
•
LAT
—GPS Latitude of the AP in decimal degrees
•
LONG
—GPS Longitude of the AP in decimal degrees
•
OFFSET
—Pattern Offset configured on the AP
•
BW
—Bandwidth (1.75 or 3.5) configured on the AP
•
DUR
—Frame duration (10 or 20) configured on the AP
•
MAC
—The “Wireless MAN Address” configured on the AP
•
CHANNELS
