Beacon Period
An 802.IQ beacon is a broadcast sent out to all 802.IQ-enabled terminals. The
beacon allows terminals to determine when they have roamed between base stations.
It enables a terminal to determine whether or not the base station or controller was
rebooted and, if so, how to recover. If the controller was rebooted, the terminal
closes all sessions and fully re-initializes. If the base station was rebooted, or if the
terminal moved to a different 9150, a warm initialize is done (no data will be lost).
The Beacon Period parameter acceptable value ranges from 1 to 20 seconds. The
default value is 2.
Terminal Offline Timeout
This parameter sets the time (in minutes) before the 802.IQ task on the 9150 will
send an offline message to the cellular master declaring the terminal offline.
The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 240. The default value is 5.
6.5.1.2 802.IQ v2 Configuration Submenu
Enabled
This parameter enables ( √ ) or disables the 802.IQv2 protocol.
The default value is disabled.
Beacon UDP Port
This parameter identifies the UDP port for beacon broadcasts. If more than one
802.IQv2 controller is on the network, the parameter must be changed to separate
the systems. The parameter must also match the corresponding parameter on the ter-
minal. The range of values is 5001 to 65535. The default value is 8888.
Beacon Gateway Interface
This is the interface on which the beacons are sent out.
The default is [1] 10BaseT Ethernet.
