Configuring Group PTMP Settings
The Groups > PTMP configuration page configures Point-to-Multipoint (PTMP) for all subscriber and base
stations in the device group. Subscriber stations must be in the same group as all base stations with which they
might connect.
Perform the following steps to configure these functions.
1. Go to the
Groups > List page and select the group for which to define PTMP settings by selecting the group
name. Alternatively, select
Add from the Groups > List page to create a new group, define a group name. In
either case, the
Monitor page appears.
2. Select the PTMP tab in the AirWave navigation menu. Figure 62 illustrates this page.
