INTRODUCTION The SNAP2410 family of products from Digital Wireless Corporation provides Ethernet connectivity to networks of WIT2410 radios. Built around the WIT2410, SNAP products provide a 10BaseT connection to Ethernet networks and function as base stations for remote devices containing WIT2410 transceivers. By supporting seamless roaming, multiple SNAPs can be connected to a network to provide practically unlimited coverage area.
Alternatively, an antenna may be located away from the SNAP using RF cable to connect the SNAP to the antenna. Digital Wireless does not recommend using RF cables longer than 5 feet. If more distance is required between the SNAP and the antenna, high-quality, low-loss RF feed line must be used.
10BaseT products. The SNAP will not work if the network only supports 100BaseT products. Before connecting a default configured SNAP to an active network, ask the network system administrator to make sure that the default IP number will not cause any 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...

Note: The save and reset commands must be entered after modifying the default configuration. Failure to do so will result in the factory defaults to be used. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
SNAP. If the second parameter is not used, the netmask is set to the default netmask for the IP address specified. For example, the command: ip 192.168.0.1 will set the SNAP’s IP address to 192.168.0.1 and the netmask will remain 255.255.255.0. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
The SNAPs can also synchronize with one another by RJ-11 cable (telephone cable). The RJ-11 method of synchronization uses a daisy chain fashion to connect the SNAPs together. The SNAPs need to be synchronized this way if 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
2411 and 2412 respectively. These are the default settings. Using the roam library requires the use of winsock.dll. This file should already be included on any Windows 95/98/NT PC that has TCP/IP installed as a protocol. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
PPP session between the remote PC and the SNAP. The PPP mode of the SNAP also works with various versions of UNIX and LINUX. Contact Digital Wireless Technical Support for details. 4-Port Hub The SNAP2414 model includes a built-in 4-port hub. Even though there are 5 ethernet ports, only four of them can be used.
SNAP will send to the internal radio. This value cannot be longer than the value set in the pktlen radio. Refer to the section on radio commands for details of the Set Base Slot 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
IP address specified will be used only for traffic destined for that IP address. The route table always has an entry associated with the IP address assigned to the SNAP. socks Displays the network socket information. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
Refer to the section on radio commands in this manual for the radio commands pertaining to the SNAP. Refer to the WIT2410 Integration Guide for a complete listing of radio commands. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
Sets the maximum number of bytes of data that will be included in a SDP datagram before the datagram is sent. If 20ms elapses since the last byte received, the datagram will be sent regardless of the number of bytes in the datagram. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
PPP session must agree with the password entered for that user in the SNAP. When set to Radius, the password entered by the user is sent to the designated authentication Radius server. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...

A enabled password must be assigned even if a Radius server is to perform authentication. There is no way to display passwords. If a password is forgotten, a new password must be entered. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
A larger value increases network capacity due to decreased overhead in channel switching. The hop duration is specified in 69.4us increments. The 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...

The radio in the SNAP has 64 preprogrammed hopping patterns or network numbers. By using different network numbers, nearby co-located networks can avoid interfering with each others’ transmissions. Even if both networks tried to use the same frequency, on the next hop they would be at different frequencies. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
SDP_USER_MAGIC in the magic field of the header. The next byte is the sequence number which increments for each datagram transmitted by the SNAP. The next three bytes of the header are the unique-ID of the “radio A” for the SNAP. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
At this time, the SNAP will transmit an SM_STARTUP message with a <user- request> value of 1 followed by an SM_CONNECT message for each remote radio currently “connected” to the SNAP. [In future releases, this will be followed by an 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...

SNAP. Note that the remote may have already roamed to another SNAP. The workstation should only act on the SM_DISCONNECT message if it currently has the source of this message as the SNAP that owns this remote radio. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...

This message may be broadcast or multicast to multiple SNAPs as the SNAP will ignore this message if the remote radio with the Unique-ID contained in the message is not currently connected. 2000 Digital Wireless Corporation 042000...
