unlock
debug-mode=”ASCII string”
enable-configuration=”ASCII string”
This command unlocks the access to various commands. The enable-configuration password
(set with the change-password command) unlocks the various commands listed in this manual
that alter the radio configuration. The debug-mode is a factory mode used for troubleshooting
by customer support.
Examples:

4.4 Major Configuration Parameters
These commands change several operating parameters of the radio that are part of the radio
configuration. When entering commands with multiple parameters, if a parameter is not
included, that parameter keeps its current value.
distance
maximum=10..255 (km), 10..158 (miles)
units=km or miles
Sets the limit for the maximum distance of any RF link in this network. You only need to set
this maximum distance at the root or hub node. All other nodes will automatically configure
the maximum distance to that of the parent node.
The units you choose (km or miles) will be used in other displays when reporting the measured
distances.
In general you should leave the maximum distance set to the default value of 80 km (50 miles).
But if you are deploying a network where one or more links exceed this distance you must
change this parameter to a value that is equal to or greater than the maximum link distance.
Increasing the maximum distance results in a slight decrease of the network capacity.
Examples:
> distance 100 km
> distance units=miles
ethernet
speed=auto-10 or 10hdx or 10fdx or 100hdx or 100fdx or auto or off
Sets the ethernet port speed to a combination of 10 or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or auto
negotiate.
In installations requiring a very long outdoor CAT5 cable, operation at 100 Mbps may become
unreliable. For this reason the auto-10 setting forces the speed to 10Mbps but negotiates the
