Backbone Configuration

The Base Station backbone parameters provide infrastructure settings of the system mode and
other parameters. After configuring the system operation mode (Standalone or ASN-GW), the
corresponding backbone parameters can be configured.
The following backbone configurations are described in this chapter:
•
General parameters (system operation mode, Base Station and GW addresses)
•
Standalone mode: Switching parameters and learned MAC addresses
•
ASN-GW mode: Definition of ASN-GW to Base Station connection parameters (IP, tunneling,
keep-alive)
3.1

Setting the Operation Mode

The system can operate in two configurations:
•
Standalone mode
•
ASN-GW mode (Default)
The operation mode defines whether system operation (such as QoS capabilities) are performed
by the Base Station (Standalone mode) or by the ASN-GW (ASN-GW mode).

1. Click the Backbone menu option. The Backbone Admin sub-menu list is displayed in the
Sub-Menu option pane.
2. From the Backbone Admin sub-menus choose Operation Modes. The Operation Modes
pane is displayed.
3. To change the system operation mode:
•
In the Configured Operation Mode field choose the required mode.
•
Click Apply.
•
Restart the service to reset the operation mode to the configured value.
