IMPORTANT: Units tagged 'mandatory' should not be considered 'in-service'.
Depending on traffic conditions in the sector, 'mandatory' subscribers may not
receive any bandwidth allocation for extended periods. This mode is provided to
assist deployment and commissioning processes, and steps should be taken to
improve the link budget for these subscribers before declaring them 'in-service'.
Enable / Disable USC
The USC feature is enabled/disabled from the Wireless Interface page of the AN-100UX
GUI or using CLI. For example, use the following CLI command to enable USC mode:
AN100UX#> interfaces wireless set MacSubchannelization 1
where, 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled
7.2 Self-Provisioning Features
7.2.1 Default Service Flows
The base station automatically creates one default downlink service flow and optionally
one default uplink service flow for each registered subscriber. The default service flows
can pass initial traffic required for network entry (e.g., DHCP Discovery or PPPoE
Initiation from hosts connected to the subscribers). Refer to 4.3.3: Service Flows on
page 54.
7.2.2 Automatic UL Filtering
The Automatic Uplink filter implemented at the subscriber emulates bridge functionality
to prevent local traffic from being transmitted upstream over the wireless interface.
7.2.3 Host Learning
The MAC learning feature allows the base station to automatically learn the MAC
addresses of hosts (devices) on the Ethernet segment connected to a subscriber. The
learning feature can be enabled individually for any subscriber and the number of
learned hosts can be adjusted dynamically. MAC addresses are learned on a first-come
basis. The subscriber does not age the learned MAC addresses -- the table is
reinitialized only when the subscriber is rebooted.
Note: Enabling 'host learning' affects the function of downlink 802.3 classifiers (see
Generic 802.3 DL Classifiers following). No other classifiers are affected. Remote
management must be enabled (managedSS=1) on the subscriber.
7.2.4 Intra-Sector L2 Forwarding (iSL2F)
This feature supports layer 2 network connectivity between subscribers in a single sector
(hair-pinning).
For the iSL2F feature to be functional, the following items must be properly configured:
1. Ethernet Tagging: The Ethernet Tagging (ethTag) function must be enabled on each
participating subscriber. When enabled, this function identifies data traffic through this
subscriber by using 802.1Q VLAN tags. Refer to the RedMAX Outdoor Wireless Access
Subscriber Modem User Manual for details. The ethTag function can be configured only
using the subscriber CLI commands.
2. MAC Learning: The Learning function must be enabled on the base station for each
participating subscriber. The Learning feature allows the base station to automatically
discover the MAC addresses of hosts (devices) on the Ethernet segment connected to a
subscriber. Set the Max Hosts Number to learn up to sixteen hosts on the specified
subscriber. Refer to section 4.3.1: Subscribers on page 49.
