Configuring the Ports
How you configure the SkyWay Bridge/Router depends on your network topology.
Configure each unit separately depending on its role as a base station or sub station,
and its function as a bridge, router, or both bridge and router.
Note
Serial Port configuration is discussed in Chapter 2 (see “1.2.1.1 Serial Port Configura-
Before you Begin
The following helps you determine how to configure the unit:
1.
Decide if the unit will be a base station or a sub station.
2.
Decide if the unit will perform bridging, routing, or both bridging and routing. The
default configuration is bridging enabled, routing disabled.
3.
If you are configuring the unit for routing, have the IP configuration data ready (IP
address, IP Mask, etc.).
When you make changes to the screens and type
.W
, you update the configuration
database. However, for some changes, such as configuring the RF ports, you must
cycle the port to start the new configuration. This is described in “Configuring the Sky-
Way as a Base Station” on page 69.
Obtaining IP Addresses
IP network addresses are unique numbers assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) (see RFC 2050). See your system manager to obtain IP addresses. If
your network is not connected to the Internet directly or indirectly, see RFC 1918,
which defines class C addresses in the range of 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.0 that you
may use.
Setting up IP Addresses
Each unit, whether a base station or a sub station, must have a unique IP address for
the RF port, even if you are enabling bridging only. The system derives the RF MAC
address from the RF IP address. If you are enabling routing, you also need to set up the
IP address for the Ethernet port (for more information, see “1.4.2 IP Port Configura-
Configuring the SkyWay as a Base Station
1.
Set up a unique IP address for the RF Port.
a. Go to screen 1.4.2 IP Port Configuration, described in detail on page 95.
b. For Port # 3 (the RF port), enter the IP Address and the IP Mask.
c. Press
.W
to update the database.
