Network Topology

Configuration->Network Topology
Click to display the Network Topology List screen.
The RAS series of auto-acquire wireless terminals may use GPS naviagation to assist in
locating and pointing the antenna to a sector controller. Each sector controller that will
communicate with a RAS system may be programmed with information describing that
sector controller and other nearby sector controllers. This information, referred to as a
'Network Topology List', includes the GPS location coordinates and important
deployment information including the antenna beamwidth and direction.
When a RAS system connects to a sector controller, the network topology information is
automatically transferred from the sector controller to the RAS terminal. This information
will be used to maintain the current connection and to optimize the choice and
switchover to an alternate sector controller if required.
Use the Network Topology List Table page to view the current network topology list
settings, or load a new network topologylist in the connected sector controller. to view
this page click Configuration->Network Topology in the main menu. The operator may
load the network topologylists from the Web interface. The file may be in XML or plain
text and contains information for each sector controller in the RAS systems geographic
operating area.
