Unit LUID Private IP
access point module 1 192.168.101.1
subscriber module 1 2 192.168.101.2
subscriber module 2 3 192.168.101.3
If the private IP address is changed then it must designate a Class C subnet that s not utilized for
anything else and the address must be in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.1, where 1 is the last octet of
the address.
Color Code: enter in a value (0-254). The color code on the subscriber module and the access
point module must match in order for registration to occur. Color code is not a security feature. It
is a means for the Cyclone System operator to segregate an individual network or neighbor
Cyclone networks. Also, color code can be used to force a subscriber module to only register to a
specific access point module even though the subscriber module may be able to see multiple
access point modules. The default value for this parameter is 0 on all Cyclone modules.
Sector ID: choose an ID number to give to this access point module. This parameter does not
affect the operation of the module in any way. Its purpose is just another means to identify the
access point module. When observing a subscriber module’s AP Eval Data web page, the sector
ID is one of the distinguishing fields present to help the operator understand what access point
module is seen. It is recommended that when constructing an access point cluster (2-6 modules)
that each sector be given a different ID and that the pattern be repeated throughout the entire
Cyclone System for manageability.
Display-Only Access: enter the same password in both fields for verification. The display-only
password, when used, will allow only view activities to the module. When the display-only
password is set and not the full-access password, the display-only password will be tied to telnet
and FTP sessions to the module. If the full-access password is also set then it has precedence on
the telnet and FTP sessions. If the password is forgotten, the operator will need physical access
to the module and will need to create a Cyclone “default plug” to override the unit. See steps at
end of section for use and creation of a default plug.
Full Access: enter the same password in both fields for verification. The full-access password,
when used, will allow view and change activities to the module. When the full-access password is
set, the password will also be tied to telnet and FTP sessions to the module. When prompted for
the password via the web-based interface, there is no username required; however when
prompted for the password via a telnet or FTP session, the user that MUST be used is “root”. If
the password is forgotten, the operator will need physical access to the module and will need to
create a Cyclone “default plug” to override the unit. See steps at end of this section for use of a
default plug.
Webpage Auto Update: enter time period (in seconds) desired to have the web browser refresh
the web-based interface. The default setting is 0, which will cause the web-based interface to
never refresh.
Airlink Security: choose the type of air link security that is to be utilized on this access point
module. There are two choices:
Normal: If utilizing this mode there is no encryption on the air link. This is the default
operation.
DES: If utilizing this mode the air link is encrypted using single DES.
