Can I use the same accessories on my DS.11 as on my PRO.11?
No, not all accessories are compatible with the DS.11 For example, the TPA
(Transmit Power Amplifier), LNA (Low Noise Receive Amplifier) and BDS (Bi-
Directional Amplifier) which are all compatible with the PRO.11 can not be used
with the DS.11.
What management options are available on DS.11?
The BU-DS.11/RB-DS.11D S.11 comes with a graphical configuration utility that
operates on any Windows based network ready PC. With this utility you can
configure and monitor every DS.11 on your network. You can also use the DS.11
SNMP MIB on standard management platforms like SNMPc, and HP Openview.
Does the DS.11 offer out-of-band management?
No, the DS.11 does not offer out-of-band management, such as a serial port. The
DS.11 is managed in-band only via the DS.11 manager utility or SNMP.

No. The AMP250/500 products are not tested or certified for use with the DS.11
products.
What installation and site survey tools are available for BU-DS.11/RB-DS.11?
The DS.11 comes with a Windows based manager utility. With this utility you can
configure link parameters and monitor signal quality and RSSI (received signal
strength indication). Optimizing antenna alignment is done using the signal quality
and RSSI display. Any computer on the network can use this utility to manage the
BU-DS.11/RB-DS.11.
Is the DS.11 compatible with other DS equipment from other vendors?
Yes. However, for the outdoor bridges, interoperability can vary from vendor to vendor,
and in some cases it may not operate if the manufacturer's implementation is not pure
802.11b. The BU-DS.11/RB-DS.11 can operate at 1 and 2Mbps with legacy 802.11b DS
equipment, and at 5.5Mbps and 11Mbps with 802.11b High Rate DS equipment.
Does the BU-DS.11/RB-DS.11D S.11 support 802.1d spanning tree protocol?
No, the BU-DS.11/RB-DS.11 does not support spanning tree. This is because the
BU-DS.11 can also support roaming devices.
