    Operation in PMP mode is controlled by the options keys. When a PMP-only options key is activated, the RDL-3000 operation is restricted to the number of purchased subscriber connections. This mode is not equivalent to operating the RDL-3000 in PTP mode with multiple remote units. Enter PMP-only options keys before deploying and configuring the RDL-3000 units.

    The RDL-3000 can operate as a VLAN-aware wireless L2 switch, with traffic being classified and processed based on the packet VLAN ID. The RDL-3000 also provides a Pass through mode that can be used to process traffic that is not matched to a known VID, or simply to forward all traffic received on a port.

    Chapter 7 Security Overview The Redline RDL-3000 provides a high level of security and reliability. Security features include wireless authentication using X.509 certificates, and wireless encryption using AES encryption. AES encryption is optional and may be purchased separately and enabled by loading an AES-enabled options key.

  • Page 127: Wireless Authentication

    Always use secure transfer (e.g., SSH or SSL) when working with encryption keys and certificates. It is recommended to use the RDL-3000 local Ethernet port to transfer encryption keys and certificates, or sftp if loading certificates or keys across an open network.

  • Page 128: Aes Encryption

    1. Obtain an AES-enabled upgrade options key for all communicating RDL-3000 systems. 2. Copy the new options key to each RDL-3000 and set this to be the active key. See section 4.7.3: Product Options on page 90. 3. Choose the same AES encryption setting on all communicating RDL-3000 systems.
