Peer_to_Peer
default=Y
If the Peer_to_Peer parameter is set to Yes, wireless clients can
communicate with one another. If set to No, the wireless nodes
will only communicate with the Master unit. This results in a
shorter synchronization time between the wireless clients and the
Master unit. There are programs whose timings are inappropriate
for wireless networking, resulting in the wireless nodes losing the
network connection unless this parameter box is unchecked.
In general, Proxim recommends that you leave this parameter set
to Yes unless Stations only need to communicate with the Master
and will never need to communicate with each other.
You need only set the Peer_to_Peer parameter on a Station or
Alternate Master. Masters will ignore the parameter if it is set.
Node_Override
The Node Override field allows you to change the MAC address
that the RangeLAN2 card will broadcast during the current
network session. If this field is not filled out or an illegal address
is entered, the MAC address burned in at the factory will be used.
Illegal addresses include multicast addresses and non-hexadecimal
characters in the address. A multicast address contains an odd
number in the second digit. For example, the address
010000000000, is a multicast address and an illegal value for a
node override.
When displayed on a network analyzer or the RangeLAN2
Utilities, the address displayed will be that entered by the user but
with bit 2 of the most significant byte set. For example, if you
entered 000000000000 as the node override address,
