1.2 M10II, THE NEXT GENERATION OF THE M10 FAMILY The M10II is the second generation Clarion product in the M10 family. The M10 is a wireless, single address modem that connects two media points together. The M10II is a wireless multi-point, multi-addressing modem able to accommodate up to 200 NICs (Network Interface Cards) per network segment. -

CLARION M10II INTRODUCTION workstation or a router. Both the workstation and the router employ a single 802.3 source address that the M10 learns and uses for the retransmission protocol. Thus, when the M10 receives a frame with the destination address equal to the address of the attached Ethernet card, the M10 sends the RF acknowledgment frame to the source modem. -

CLARION M10II INTRODUCTION send data to a user on another wired LAN, the M10II will transmit the data and acknowledgments to the appropriate M10II connected to the other wired LAN. The M10II senses local traffic, builds internal tables and operates the re-transmission and packet filtering protocols to insure that useless information is not transmitted. -

Page 12: Antenna
The M10II uses a standard SMA connector for the attachment of external antennas. Although there is a standard SMA connector only Clarion approved antennas will work due to the Antenna Sense Circuit. Antenna Sense Circuit is an electrical verification that the attached antenna is FCC approved for use with the M10II. -

Page 18: Testing The M10Ii
CLARION M10II TESTING 3. TESTING THE M10II 3.1 INTRODUCTION TO TESTING 1. To test the M10II it is suggested that you connect two M10II units, one to each of two previously isolated network segments. As the normal traffic is generated on each segment the internal M10II table is automatically built up on the packet transmissions of each NIC. - Page 19 CLARION M10II TESTING versa. Transmit filtering also provides added security because local server traffic is not exposed to other segments. c) Download filtering on: This feature can be thought of as the converse of transmit filtering. The M10II with this enabled will not download to its network segment, a packet that it receives if the destination is not on its local segment.
- Page 20 CLARION M10II TESTING the M10II will block traffic until the loop is eliminated. If after trying for a few seconds, the radio does not sense a loop, it will exit blocking mode and proceed with a normal boot cycle. After that, an attempt to sense loops will be made at 3 second intervals, and steals 2ms of traffic time each 3 seconds in order to operate.
- Page 21 CLARION M10II TESTING While blocking, no AUI commands can be issued. The radio cannot be queried from the AUI. But commands can be issued remotely, although the responses will NOT be sent back since transmits are blocked (as are downloads, other than the loop- sense packet itself).
- Page 22 MAC ID of the remote M10II (i.e. 00606Fxxxxxx). Even if the remote radio is set to use the Clarion null address instead of its own MAC ID, the radio’s MAC ID must be used for remote access. To allow a broadcast address to be used over the air would require handling multiple responses, which is not possible.
-
Page 23: Testing Procedure
CLARION M10II TESTING purposes, the remote configuration is disabled by default. If you want it on, you must enable it locally through the AUI port only. Once enabled, all activity can be controlled remotely but this way the configuration can only be changed after someone within the user’s facility has allowed it. -
Page 24: Configuration
CLARION M10II CONFIGURATION 4. CONFIGURATION The M10II units are pre-configured to operate right out of the box. There are also a variety of options that the user can change to adapt the M10II to a specific situation. The configuration software is pre-loaded into an internal EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) in the M10II. - Page 25 CLARION M10II CONFIGURATION • MIImqry.exe allows monitoring of the configuration. • Tmshow.exe will read out the table that is stored in the M10II at the time of issue. The new configuration commands for controlling the M10II are as follows (can use with the send or sendm10 commands): CONFigFe1, CONFigFe0 turns M10II mode on/off respectively.
