Other Key Parameters
This section describes the remainder of the parameters listed on the System Information
page. Most of these parameters
are the same for both APs and SUs.
Hardware Version: Hardware version is factory-set and can not be changed by user.
FPGA Version: Field programmable gate array firmware currently loaded on the radio. Normally the FPGA firmware
will not require upgrading.
Firmware Version: Main firmware. In this example, the version part of the string is 1p11 (v1.11), the hardware code is
H8002, and the remainder of the string is a date code.
Device ID: MAC address of the radio.
Telnetd Port: User changeable telnet port of radio.
TFTPD: Current status of TFTP daemon. Used for uploading firmware.
MIR Threshold: Enable/Disable the Maximum Information Rate (MIR) Threshold. The MIR Threshold is the
aggregate throughput on the AP at which the AP will start to enforce CIR rules for SUs.
Active Channel: The channel currently being used by the radio.
RFRX Threshold: Sets the receive threshold of the AP. The AP will not process signals received below this level, so it
is very useful for mitigating interference. For a smaller radius of operation, use a higher threshold (-65 is higher than -
70).
Broadcast Packet: This software switch (0) enables/disables the blocking of Ethernet control packets, except ICMP and
ARP, to reduce the amount of unnecessary overhead introduced into the wireless link.
SU to SU Communication: If this AP switch is on, SUs with matching SU to SU groups (except group 0) can
communicate in peer-to-peer mode via the AP, without the need for a router behind the AP.
 Note: SUs using SU to SU communication must be on the same subnet!
Broadcast Time Stamp to SU: If this AP switch is on, the AP will send a copy of the real time clock to the SU every 60
seconds. This information can be used for tracking statistics when using SNMP.
Remarks: User definable radio information (i.e. customer name, address of installation, and so on). Maximum 28
characters can be stored
