User Guide

PMP 450 Planning Guide
• SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This
accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and
bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP.
• Centrali
zed AP and SM user name and password management allows AP and SM usernames and access
levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician) to
be centrally administered in the RADIUS server instead
of on each radio and tracks
access events (logon/logoff) for each username on the RADIUS server. This
accounting does not track and
report specific configuration actions performed on radios or pull statistics
such as
bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an Element Management System (EMS) such
as Cambium Networks Wireless Manager. This accounting is
not the ability to perform accounting
functions on the subscriber/end
user/customer account.
•
Framed IP allows o perators to use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules
(framed IP address).
Planning for SNMP security
Canopy modules provide the following Configuration web page parameters in the SNMP tab. These govern
SNMP access from the manager to the agent:
• Community String, which specifies the password for security between managers and the agent.
• Accessing Subnet, which specifies the subnet mask that allows managers to poll the agents.
