Functional Description

3.1

Operational Modes

The RDL-3000 operates on a common software base controlled by options keys. Each
key (a string of numbers, letters, and dashes) enables modes of operation (PTP/PMP),
modulation, RF frequency, available channel sizes, etc. When no options key is installed
(factory default), the RDL-3000 has very restricted operating parameters. The operator
must obtain and enter a permanent options key for each RDL-3000 unit before deploying
units in a production network. Refer to the following sections for operation in PMP mode.
Refer to section 3.3: PTP Mode on page 35 for operation in PTP mode.
3.2

PMP Mode

This section describes the parameters required to configure PMP support and an
overview of VLAN functions.
The RDL-3000 PMP firmware provides the following main features:
IEEE 802.1Q/1p standards compliance
Multiple Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) services per subscriber
Individual Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Peak Information Rate (PIR)
setting per service
VLAN Service Groups (broadcast/multicast) span subscribers
VLAN tagged management traffic
Multiple Transparent LAN Services (TLS) transport based on VLAN ID
classification
VLAN trunking with tag insert/delete/re-map

Fig. 8: PMP - RDL-3000 Distributed L2 VLAN-Aware Wireless Switch

The RDL-3000 can operate as a point-to-multipoint (PMP) VLAN-aware wireless L2
switch, with traffic being classified and forwarded based on the packet VID. Each
classification includes CIR/PIR settings to guarantee required bandwidth. The RDL-3000
also provides a 'Pass through' classification to forward traffic not matched to any defined
VID, or to generally forward all traffic received on a port.
