Wireless Network Topology (Point-to-Point Link)
It is easy to set up a wireless point-to-point link as depicted in the following figure. Each unit is set up as either a Base
Station Unit (BSU) or a Subscriber Unit (SU).
A point-to-point link lets you set up a connection between two locations as an alternative to:
• Leased lines in building-to-building connections
• Wired Ethernet backbones between wireless access points in difficult-to-wire environments
Management and Monitoring Capabilities
There are several management and monitoring interfaces available to the network administrator to configure and
manage the unit:
•
•
•
Web Interface
The Web interface (HTTP) provides easy access to configuration settings and network statistics from any computer on
the network. You can access the Web interface over your network, over the Internet, or with a crossover Ethernet cable
connected directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. See
Logging in to the Web Interface
Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based configuration utility that supports a set of keyboard commands and
parameters to configure and manage the units. You enter command statements, composed of CLI commands and their
associated parameters. You can issue commands from the keyboard for real-time control or from scripts that automate
configuration. See the
Tsunami MP.11/QB.11 Reference Manual
for more information about the Command Line Interface.
SNMP Management
In addition to the Web interface and the CLI, you also can manage and configure your unit using the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). Note that this requires an SNMP manager program (sometimes called MIB browser) or a
Network Manager program using SNMP, such as HP OpenView or Castelrock’s SNMPc. The units support several
Management Information Base (MIB) files that describe the parameters that can be viewed and configured using SNMP:
• mib802.mib
