The default service flows pass initial traffic (i.e., DHCP Discovery or PPPoE Initiation) from hosts connected to subscriber. The default service flows have the lowest QoS settings and the associated classifiers have the lowest priority. -

6.1.6 DHCP Option 82 The DHCP option 82 support can be used by equipment upstream of the RedMAX base station to uniquely identify when customer equipment located behind a subscriber issues a request for network access (DHCP request for an IP address). This information, used in combination with other network notification messages, allows network operators to be informed when customers activate self-install CPEs. -
Page 90: Authentication Using Digital Certificates
Validation process implies a check of the certificates against the information stored on the AN-100U. The result of this check is a truth value based on which the AN-100U will allow the subscriber to join the network. There are two scenarios: Base station can skip the validation of the certificates sent from subscriber and performs only a basic test to ensure is properly encoded. -
Page 91: An-100U Privacy Settings
Not After : Dec 1 23:59:59 2035 GMT AN-100U Privacy Settings The AK lifetime specifies the period the subscriber is authenticated with the AN-100U, and TEK specifies the period the traffic key is valid. Changes to these parameters require a reboot. The two keys are replaced at regular time intervals as specified by their corresponding lifetimes. -
Page 92: Interference Issues
RedMAX Base Station ™ User Manual This formula corresponds with an expectation that a very strong signal (high C/N) is able to withstand higher levels of interference (low C/I). If the signal is weak, even low interference levels will significantly degrade the useful signal. Consider the following examples: Case 1: The threshold CINR for 64 QAM 3/4 is around 23.25 dB. -
Page 93: Figure 36: Op Notes: Ofdm Multiple Carriers
RedMAX Base Station ™ User Manual signal reflections arrive slightly later than the primary signal. The result can be destructive interference that can essentially null out the primary signal or overlap the original signal such that it cannot be decoded. Multi-path interference is a problem with long-range links where reflections off the ground, snow, and water frequently interfere with the primary signal. -
