and routing purposes. If this checkbox is not selected, then all traffic on
this interface will be considered local traffic. Note that the "Remote"
designation is significant only for the Security filters, and does not imply
physical location. The security filters will pass (permit) or drop (deny)
packets of particular types from being forwarded between interfaces
designated as "Local" (unchecked) and those designated as "Remote".
Note: At least one enabled interface must be a remote interface.
Enabled -- Select this checkbox if this interface should be enabled. If
this box is not selected, then the base station will disable the interface
and it will not be used, and the interface itself will be "down" from an
administrative standpoint.
Note: At least one enabled interface must be a remote interface.
Maximum Transfer Rate (Kbits/sec) -- The maximum transfer rate is
the number of bits that can be used for sending and receiving packets. If
you wish to limit the maximum data transfer rate for a particular
interface, enter the maximum number of kilobits per second that can be
transmitted from and to the base station. This helps to reduce the risk of
over-powering remote sites and to limit the bandwidth used by a
particular base station.
Note: The transfer rate represents the total transfer rate for both sending
and receiving packets. For example, if you set the transfer rate to 10,000
Kbits (10 Mbits) per second, then 10 Mbits represents the maximum rate
available for both sending and receiving packets. Therefore, if you use 7
Mbits per second in sending the packets, then only 3 Mbits per second
are available for receiving packets.
Setup 1, 2, 3 -- The Setup 1, 2 buttons are used to define the available
interfaces. In the screenshot shown above, clicking Setup 1 will display
the Ethernet Setup screen, clicking Setup 2 will display the 802.11 Setup
screen. Each of the Interface Setup screens is explained in more detail
below.
