when used, will allow view and change activities to the module. When the full-access password is
set, the password will also be tied to telnet and FTP sessions to the module. When prompted for
the password via the web-based interface, there is no username required; however when prompted
for the password via a telnet or FTP session, the user that MUST be used is "root". If the password
is forgotten, the operator will need physical access to the module and will need to create a Canopy
"default plug" to override the unit. See steps at end of this section for use of a default plug.
Webpage Auto Update: enter time period (in seconds) desired to have the web browser refresh
the web-based interface. The default setting is 0, which will cause the web-based interface to
never refresh.
Airlink Security: choose the type of air link security that is to be utilized on this access point
module. There are two choices:
Normal : If utilizing this mode there is no encryption on the air link. This is the default
operation.
DES : If utilizing this mode the air link is encrypted using single DES.
Bridge Entry Timeout: choose the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with
existing network infrastructure. It is important that this parameter be set for a longer time period
than the ARP (address resolution protocol) cache timeout of the router being used to feed the
Note: Failure to properly configure this may lead to temporary loss of
network.
communication to specific end users.
AP Background BER Mode: choose to have this feature turned on or off. Bit Error Rate (BER)
mode will allow an operator another means to verify the functionality of a link. When BER mode is
turn on a bit error rate can be read on the subscriber side to determine the quality of a registered
link. If the access point module is in a cluster with other modules then this parameter on all units
must be set exactly the same. Continually, when this feature is on the aggregate available
bandwidth will decrease by ~200 Kbps.
Community String: enter a string that will allow a SNMP management server accessibility to the
SNMP information. There must not be any spaces in the community string. The default for this
parameter is "Canopy".
Accessing Subnet: enter the network that will be allowed to access SNMP information from the
canopy module. There are two pieces of information needed:
The network in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form of /xx
An example would be 198.32.0.0/16 where /16 is a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. An Internet
search on Classless Interdomain Routing will provide greater detail on this subject for the
inexperienced network operator. The default is to allow all networks access.
Trap Address: enter in an IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) of an SNMP management server where
trap information can be sent. A trap is a way for the module to tell the monitoring system that
something has happened. The following are scenarios where traps would be sent:
after a reboot of the module
if a SNMP management server tried to access agent information and supplied the wrong
community string, wrong SNMP version number, or came from the wrong accessing
subnet.
Site Name: enter information relating to a name given to the physical module. This parameter will
set the supplied information into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by a SNMP
