Network Router User Manual

added to a channel or their routing data is changed. is may be helpful for low bandwidth 852
channels. Select the new value and click the Submit Changes button.
Serial Transaction Interval: is eld sets the time interval between successive conguration
transactions when Serial Transaction Mode is enabled. e default is 1000 ms. is enables the
user throttle the rate at which conguration updates are sent out on the channel and thereby
manage trac. is may be helpful for low bandwidth 852 channels. Enter the new value and
click the Submit Changes button.
Loop Detect Interval: is value determines the number of milli-seconds between transmission of
a loop detection packet. A value of zero disables this feature. e default value is 5000 ms or 5
seconds. Setting this value to much below 1000 is not recommended. If the Loop Detection nds
a loop in the network routing, it will cause the GRouter to go uncongured to prevent runaway
trac. A loop is detected if the router receives its own loop detection message on the opposite
side of the router. e router will continue to send loop detection messages and will resume
operation once the loop condition is removed. Click Submit Changes and the new value is
immediately in eect.
Loop Recover Retries: is value determines the number of unsuccessful retires of the loop
detection message before a loop condition is considered to have been remedied. e default is
three. e minimum allowed value is two. Click Submit Changes and the new value is
immediately in eect.
Redundant Router Detect: ese radio buttons allow the user to enable or disable the detection of
redundant 852 routers on the 852 channel. When enabled, no CN data packets are forwarded to
any redundant routers. is prevents loops due to redundant routers from occurring. Click
Submit Changes and the new value is immediately in eect.
Loop Check on Boot: ese radio buttons allow the user to change the boot up mode of the router
with respect to loop detection. When enabled, the router will not forward CN data packets until
aer a loop check has completed and no loops were detected. is adds an additional delay at
boot-up before the router will begin forwarding packets. e length of the delay is equal to the
Loop Detect Interval times the number of Loop Recover Retries. When disabled, the router will
immediately begin forwarding packets on boot-up. Click Submit Changes and the new value is
immediately in eect.
Submit Changes: is button updates all the conguration information entered on the current
web page and refreshes the display.
Trigger Service Pin: is button causes a service pin message to be sent out both the 709.1 and IP
interfaces of the router. is can be used when commissioning the router remotely.
Register With Cong Server: is button sends an 852 registration request to the cong server.
is will usually add the device to the cong server’s list of managed devices.
Launch Upgrade FTP Server: is button starts up the FTP server needed to perform eld
upgrades of the GRouter device's rmware. A detailed description of the upgrade process is
provided in a later section.
Clear Router Cong: is button clears all router conguration information, such as routing
tables, back to factory defaults. It does not aect the web or IP address or interface. is is useful
