Mac Settings - GE MDS Master Station Technical Manual

Unit – This parameter identifies the radio in the wireless network with a specific ID
•
during diagnostic sessions. For compatibility with legacy devices, the value must be
10000 or greater (2710 in hexadecimal).
Type – This setting identifies the radio as a Node, Root, Repeater, Peer, or Gate. Each of
•
these are operating modes of the transceiver with respect to diagnostic/management
activities.
Mode – Configure if Dlink will operate on a serial port, or via a TCP socket.
•
Serial Mode Settings:
•
- Serial Port — This setting determines which serial port to use COM1 or COM2.
This must be different than the serial payload port.
TCP Mode Settings:
•
- Security Mode – When set to a value other than none, connections will be en-
crypted using a pre-shared key via TLS. The version specified by this parameter
will be only version allowed by the server.
- TCP Port – The TCP port that the Dlink service will listen on.
- IPv4 Addr – Optionally configure the service to only attach to the specified IPv4
Address. This is useful when traffic is being separated into data and management
VLANs. If no value is specified, the service will accept connections on all con-
figured IP addresses.
- IPv6 Addr – Optionally configure the service to only attach to the specified IPv6
Address. This is useful when traffic is being separated into data and management
VLANs. If no value is specified, the service will accept connections on all con-
figured IP addresses.
Enabled – Enable or disable diagnostics functionality. Setting it to ON configures the
•
radio to pass the diagnostic link protocol (DLINK) over the radio's COM2 management
port.
