Notes:
1.
RDL-3000 units are shipped from the factory with DHCP disabled.
2.
Before enabling DHCP, position the cursor over the DHCP enable field. The popup
help text lists the three default IP addresses that become active when the local link
IP is active
3.
Using DHCP for remote units does not require DHCP to be enabled on the SC.
4.
To ensure the granted IP address is routable from the sector controller, remote units
with DHCP enabled must obtain an IP addresses from a DHCP server located
upstream of the sector controller (e.g., over the wireless interface to a DHCP server
reachable from the sector controller Ethernet port).
5.
If the remote unit obtains an IP from a DHCP server on its local network (e.g., via the
Ethernet port): a) the IP may not be routable from the sector controller, b) the
recovery Link Local IP addresses will not be active, and c) it may be difficult to
identify the responding DHCP server to obtain the required address information.
6.
When enabled, Management VLAN Tagging is enforced for Link Local IP address.
7.
A DHCP Renew function is available (Web/CLI) to generate an 'on-demand' DHCP
renewal request message.
DHCP Renew
: Click this button to send a DHCP renew message to the DHCP server.
This function is available only when an IP lease is active.
IP Address
:
Manually enter the IP address for this unit.
The IP address is routable through the Ethernet port and over the wireless interface.
This field is active only when DHCP is disabled.
Note: This is not the default address when DHCP is enabled and the DHCP server is
unavailable. See the DHCP Enable field.
IP Subnet
Mask
: Enter the IP subnet mask.
Note: This is not the default IP subnet mask when DHCP is enabled and the DHCP
server is unavailable. See the DHCP Enable field.
Default Gateway Address
:
Enter the IP address of the default gateway or router on the
Ethernet segment connected to the RDL-3000 Ethernet port.
DNS Server 1
: Enter the primary DNS (Dynamic Name Server) IP address.
DNS Server 2
: Enter the secondary DNS (Dynamic Name Server) IP address.
Management VLAN Tagging Enable
: Control the VLAN tagged management function.
Disabled ( ): There are no restrictions for management traffic.
Enabled ( ): This unit can be managed only using VLAN traffic tagged with the value
specified in the
Mgmt. VID
field.
On all PMP systems, over-the-air management is possible only after creating a Service
Group for device management and adding a Service for each subscriber.
For initial installation and setup, it is recommended to use Pass Through settings for this
group and member Service for each subscriber. Set CIR and priority values to ensure
management traffic has sufficient priority and bandwidth available.
When Management VLAN Tagging
is enabled, the following field is visible:
Management 802.1Q VLAN ID [0...4095]
: Enter the management VLAN ID. When
Management VLAN Tagging Enable is selected, the system recognizes only
management commands where the Ethernet packet has the matching VLAN ID.
