RDL-3000 User Manual

3 Functional Overview

Operation in PMP mode is controlled by the options keys. When a PMP-only options key

is activated, the RDL-3000 operation is restricted to the number of purchased subscriber

connections. This mode is not equivalent to operating the RDL-3000 in PTP mode with

multiple remote units. Enter PMP-only options keys before deploying and configuring the

RDL-3000 units.

The GUI and Telnet functions are identical for PMP and PTP operation. It is required to

configure one unit as the master (PMP SC) and all remote units as subscribers (PMP

SS). A separate range of RF power settings are provided for PMP operation. The

graphical user interface (GUI) and Telnet functions are identical for both PTP and PMP

operation. The RDL-3000 can also be configured and monitored using SNMP

(documentation provided separately).

Note: Refer to the RDL-3000 installation Guidelines for additional information about

installing and operating the RDL-3000 in PMP mode.
