Page 10: Introduction
A Terragraph network is composed of individual nodes. There are two types of nodes in a Terragraph network – Distribution Nodes (DNs) such as the MLTG-360, and Client Nodes (CNs) such as the MLTG-CN. DNs are the backbone of the Terragraph network that distribute Internet connectivity from one or more fiber optic Points of Presence (PoPs) over multiple hops to CNs. -
Page 11: Connecting To The Web Interface
In case the DHCP server is unavailable, the MLTG-360 uses the fallback IP 192.168.1.20 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Set the PC IP address to be on the same subnet as the MLTG-360 MGMT PoE IN port. The PC IP address must start with 192.168.1.x and use subnet mask 255.255.255.0. -

Page 19: Management
Management Network Configuration The management interface is bound to the physical PoE In port. The management interface is isolated from the access network. There are two available configuration modes: DHCP or static. In both modes, the configuration of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses depends on the capability of the management network. -

Page 21: Poe Out
Chapter 3 | Management PoE Out PoE Out The four Ethernet LAN ports support PoE out function. There are two types of specifications; LAN1 supports 802.3af/802.3 at standard PoE whereas LAN2, LAN3, and LAN4 support 24V passive PoE out. For each port, the PoE out can be enabled/disabled independently. For passive PoE out ports, only enable PoE out when a compatible passive PoE device is connected to the port. -
Page 22: Operation Mode
Mesh topology: Links can be established to form a mesh topology network ■ that provides path redundancy and high availability. Layer 3 based: Each MLTG-360 works as a Layer 3 router. The traffic is ■ transmitted based on routing information on the Terragraph network. -
Page 23: Ipv6 Addressing And Physical Port Assignment On The Pop Node
Terragraph LAN Prefix and Terragraph LAN Prefix Length to guarantee the address pool is large enough to accommodate all nodes. There are six wired network interfaces on the MLTG-360. The MGMT port (PoE In) is a dedicated, out-of-band management port, isolated from other ports. -
Page 24: Figure 11: Terragraph Operation Mode
◆ Enable GPS Sync Check: When enabled, the MLTG-360 checks whether the GPS information is synchronized when associating with a peer. Synchronized GPS information can help to optimize the TDMA algorithm in a mesh network. - Page 25 Chapter 4 | Operation Mode Operation Mode When this option is enabled, please make sure the MLTG-360 has a strong and stable GPS signal. Please disable GPS Sync when indoors. ◆ WebUI Access Through NMS Control interface: Enable to allow access to the POP WebUI through the NMS control address.
