Screen contents also vary depending upon the options selected as follows:

• If Access Method is set to “Group Access”, the Target MAC Address field is

replaced by Group ID.

• If Spectrum Management Control is set to “Fixed Frequency”, the Lower Center

Frequency field is replaced by Fixed Tx Frequency and Fixed Rx Frequency.

• If Platform Variant is set to “Connectorized”, Antenna Gain and Cable Loss are

also displayed. For more information about the configuration of connectorized

PTP 600 units, refer to Software and features on

page 8-3.

The Wireless Configuration page contains the following fields:

Access Method

This controls whether the link can be established between a pre-paired Master and

Slave only (‘Link Access’) or between Master and Slave belonging to the same group

(‘Group Access’).

Target MAC Address

This is only displayed when Access Method is set to ‘Link Access’. This is the MAC

Address of the peer unit that will be at the other end of the wireless link. This is used

by the system to ensure the unit establishes a wireless link to the correct peer. The

MAC Address can be found embedded within the serial number of the unit. The last six

characters of the serial number are the last three bytes of the unit’s MAC address.

NOTE

A PTP 600 Series system is shipped as a pair of units with pre-loaded correct

MAC addresses. Target MAC addresses will only need to be entered if an

existing unit has to be replaced in the field or the units configuration has

been erased.

Group ID

This is only displayed when Access Method is set to ‘Group Access’. It identifies all

units belonging to the same group.
