Base Station configuration
BS is configured by specifying all of its CPEs using “rma ab” command. The
command format looks as follows:
rma ab <IFNAME> MAC ip=MYIP [name=NAME] [options]
“Rma ab” parameters:
• IFNAME – name of the radio interface
• MAC – MAC-address of the CPE. In order to obtain this address please
use one of the following commands on the CPE:
o ifconfig –a
o rfconfig <IFNAME> capabilities
• MYIP – IP address of the connection as seen from the base station
(mask length equals 30). IP-address for the CPE radio interface is
assigned automatically
• NAME - subscriber's mnemonic name (up to 20 symbols without spaces)
• Options can be the following:
o –disable|-enable - disables and enables the RMA mechanism for
the CPE correspondingly
o -del : removes the specified parameters from the BS
configuration table
To review current BS tables containing all its subscribers use “rma ab” command.
