Advanced and Quick Service Modes
A BreezeMAX Base Station can operate in either Advanced or Quick
mode of services provisioning.
Advanced Mode enables operators to completely deny services to SUs
that are not defined in the system. This increases the security of the
system but complicates slightly the installation process since an SU
must be defined in the system before it can be registered and receive
any service.
Quick Mode is intended primarily for scenarios where the operator is
not concerned with potentially "stolen" SUs, and wishes to provide basic
services also to SUs that are not yet defined in the system. It may also
be used as a temporary operation mode during SUs installation phase.
In both modes, defined services are provisioned to defined SUs. The
difference between the two modes is in provisioning of services to SUs
that are not defined in the system.
In Advanced mode, an undefined SU that is authenticated by the
system will be added to the database of the NPU (NMS) as Temporary.
The database will include also its MAC address and the configured
registration parameters. No services are provided as long as the SU is
defined as Temporary. To receive services, the SU should be defined in
the system. Then it becomes a Permanent SU and the required services
should be assigned to it.
In Quick mode, an undefined SU that is authenticated by the system
will be added to the database of the NPU (NMS) as Temporary. The
subscriber will be able to use only services based on the Default Service
Profile(s). Once the SU will be defined as Permanent and services will be
assigned to it, it will be able to use the defined services.
When changing the status of an SU from Permanent to Temporary, the
SU must be reset to perform a new network entry process for getting the
correct Default Service.
Using VLANs
VLANs can be used for creating virtual groups of multiple end-users
(stations) belonging to the same organization (Subscriber). They may
also be used to differentiate between different end-users (stations)
connected to the same SU.
In the current release, implementation of VLANs necessitates using
VLAN switches behind the relevant SUs.
