LAN Subnet Mask: enter in an appropriate subnet mask for the module to "talk" on the network.
The default value for this parameter is 255.255.255.0.
Default Gateway: enter in the appropriate gateway for the module to "talk" on the network. The
default for this parameter is 169.254.0.0.
Private IP: the default for this parameter is 192.168.101.1. It is recommended that the operator
not change this parameter. A flat, class C subnet is used to communicate with each of the
subscriber modules that have registered. The Access Point uses a combination of the private IP
and the logical unit ID (LUID) of the subscriber module.
For example, if there are two subscriber modules (LUID 2 and LUID 3) registered to an Access
Point module, then the Access Point uses the following to communicate to each:
Unit
Access Point module
subscriber module 1
subscriber module 2
If the private IP address is changed then it must designate a Class C subnet that is not used for
anything else and the address must be in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.1, where 1 is the last octet of the
address.
Color Code: enter in a value (0-254). The color code on the subscriber module and the Access
Point module must match in order for registration to occur. Color code is not a security feature. It
is a means for the Canopy System operator to segregate an individual network or neighbor Canopy
networks. Also, color code can be used to force a subscriber module to only register to a specific
Access Point module even though the subscriber module may be able to see multiple Access Point
modules. The default value for this parameter is 0 on all Canopy modules.
Sector ID: choose an ID number to give to this Access Point module. This parameter does not
affect the operation of the module in any way. Its purpose is just another means to identify the
Access Point module. When observing a subscriber module's AP Eval Data web page, the sector
ID is one of the distinguishing fields present to help the operator understand what Access Point
module is seen. It is recommended that when constructing an Access Point cluster (2-6 modules)
that each sector be given a different ID and that the pattern be repeated throughout the entire
Canopy System for manageability.
Max Range: enter in a distance (in miles). This parameter controls the maximum distance that a
subscriber module will be allowed to register. The subscriber module must still meet minimum
requirements for an acceptable link in order to register. If the Access Point module is in a cluster
with other modules then this parameter on all units must be set exactly the same. The default for
this parameter is 2 miles.
Display-Only Access: enter the same password in both fields for verification. The display-only
password, when used, will allow only view activities to the module. When the display-only
password is set and not the full-access password, the display-only password will be tied to telnet
and FTP sessions to the module. If the full-access password is also set then it has precedence on
the telnet and FTP sessions. 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
section for use and creation of a default plug.
