inbound. In all other cases select the auto mode. See section 2.3.1 for a more detailed
explanation of fixed versus auto splits.
At very low RF speeds (0.25 and 0.5 Mbps) the radio will not allow you to select some of the
more asymmetric splits as they would result in packets that have too few bytes.
Example:
> tdd sync=off cycle=40 split=70
4.5 Internet Protocol (IP) Management Commands
The IP Management commands configure the radio IP protocol parameters which allow the radio to
be monitored and configured through Telnet and SNMP. Refer to section 5 for a more detailed
explanation on those two applications.
ip-configuration
address=<ip address>
netmask=<string>
gateway=<ip address>
dhcp-client=yes or no
This command configures the radio IP address, netmask and gateway. The IP configuration is
optional and the radios are shipped with these parameters left blank. Once the IP configuration
has been initialized, the radios will reply to “ping” packets. The IP configuration is also
required in order to use the “ping”, “snmp” and “telnet” features.
Alternatively you can enable the dhcp-client function. In that case the radio will attempt to
configure its IP address parameters from a DHPC server in the network.
Since the two radios in a link are bridged together they are in the same “internet network”.
Example:
> ipconfig add=207.154.90.81 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=207.154.90.2
ping
destination=<string>
count=0..500
size-bytes=32..1400
This command causes the radio to “ping” the destination address and display the results. The
“ping” packet consists of an ICMP packet with a length specified by the “size-bytes”
parameter. The destination is any valid IP address. When the destination host receives the
packet it generates a reply of the same size. Upon receiving the reply the radio displays the
round trip delay. This process is repeated until the number of replies reaches the value
