reset to 0) or numeric value. The IP address 0/0 denotes all possible IP

addresses.

Therefore, the possible formats to specify IP-addresses are:

nn.nn.nn.nn (no mask is used)

nn.nn.nn.nn/N (N is the bit length of the mask)

nn.nn.nn.nn:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the numerical value of the

mask)

Example:

The 192.168.9.0/24 address describes the network address 192.168.9.0 and the

mask with leading 24 bits on.

The same set of addresses may be denoted as 192.168.9.0:255.255.255.0.

7. Ethernet interface configuration

In the most basic form Ethernet interface can be configured as follows:

ifconfig eth0 1.1.1.1/24 up

UP flag means than the interface is turned to UP state.

Also you can specify the following parameters for the Ethernet interface:

• Media type. By default media type is selected automatically (media

auto parameter).

• Assign aliases to the Ethernet interface (alias key word)

Full information about interfaces configuration can be reviewed in OS WanFleX

User Guide – ifconfig command.

8. Radio interface configuration

Radio interface configuration is performed using “rfconfig” command. In its

most basic form one need to configure the following parameters of the radio

interface:

• Frequency (freq parameter) in MHz. For example, 5260.

• Bit-rate (bitr parameter). Bit transfer rate in kBits/sec.

• System identifier (SID parameter). A hexadecimal number in the range

of 1H to FFFFFFH. All Devices that are supposed to see each other on

the same radio link must have the same identifier.

Radio interface state is not saved in the configuration. That means

that if you put radio interface to the down state after rebooting it will

be in the up state.

Example:

rfconfig rf5.0 freq 5260 bitr 130000 sid 01010101

Additional important parameters and settings for the radio interface:

• Rf5.0 – radio interface name in this case. In order to obtain radio

interface name either see the ODU/Device labelin

or execute

“ifc -a” command.

• txpwr – transmitting power selection. Available power levels can be

obtained using “capabilities” parameter as shown above

• burst – enables burst mode. BURST protocol means grouping several

short packets with the same destination address on a radio link into

larger packets, thus cardinally decreasing the response time for
