Overview of the SPEEDLAN 9000 Configurator General Main

How the Configurator Menu is Structured

Base stations, CPE routers, point-to-point routers and mesh routers all use the same

main menu, as shown in Main menu, page 3-10. However, some of the submenus are

limited depending on which mode you are operating, such as base station mode, CPE

mode, point-to-point (primary and secondary), and mesh mode. Any content that is

common for the base station, CPE, point-to-point, and mesh router is located in this

chapter. Any content that is exclusively used for base station mode is in Using the

Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for a Base Station, page 4-1. Any content

that is exclusively used for CPE mode is in Using the Configurator to Set Up Special

Parameters for CPE Routers, page 5-1. Any content that is exclusively used for point-to-

point mode is in Using the Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for Point-to-Point

Routers, page 6-1. Any content that is exclusively used for mesh mode is in Using the

Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for Mesh Routers, page 7-1.

This menu lists the pages that are common to a SPEEDLAN 9000 base station, CPE,

point-to-point, and mesh routers.

• Network

Use this menu to view a list of the interfaces that exist on the router, such as

wireless interfaces, fixed interfaces, or both. This is where you would assign

either a static or dynamic Internet address for the router. You will also be able

to define the display name for the wireless or fixed device. For more

information, see IP Address Configuration, page 3-20.

Base Mode, page 4-2.

• If you need to set up the interfaces from a CPE router, see Interfaces for

CPE Mode, page 5-2.

• If you need to set up the interfaces from a point-to-point router, see

Interfaces for Point-to-Point Mode, page 6-2.

• If you need to set up the interfaces from a mesh router, see Interfaces for

Mesh Mode, page 7-2.
