Vlan On Ethernet Port - Proxim ORiNOCO AP-4000M User Manual

Advanced Configuration
Interfaces
• You cannot manually select the device's operating channel; you must let the unit select the channel. You may make
channels unavailable by manually "blacklisting" them and preventing those channels being selected, in accordance
with local regulations or interference. You can also display the Channel Blacklist Table to view the channels that have
been blacklisted by the AP.
• In compliance with FCC regulations, the AP uses ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control) to automatically adapt
transmit power when the quality of the link is more than sufficient to maintain a good communication with reduced
transmit power. See
DFS is required for three purposes:
1. Radar avoidance both at startup and while operational. To meet these requirements, the AP scans available
frequencies at startup. If a DFS enabled channel is busy or occupied with radar, the system will blacklist the channel
for a period of 30 minutes in accordance with FCC, IC, ETSI, and TELEC regulations. Once fully operational on a
frequency, the AP actively monitors the occupied frequency. If interference is detected, the AP blacklists the channel,
logs a message and rescans to find a new frequency that is not busy and is free of radar interference.
2. Guarantee the efficient use of available frequencies by all devices in a certain area. To meet this requirement, the AP
scans each available frequency upon startup and selects a frequency based upon the least amount of noise and
interference detected. This lets multiple devices operate in the same area with limited interference. This procedure is
done only at startup; if another UNII device comes up on the same frequency, the AP does not detect this or rescan
because of it. It is expected that other devices using these frequencies also are in compliance with country
regulations, so this should not happen.
3. Uniform Channel Spreading. To meet this requirement, the AP randomly selects its operating channel from the
available channels with least interference.

VLAN on Ethernet Port

VLANs are very useful to segment the LAN into different broadcast domains. This helps in reducing the broadcast
domain by separating logical segments of a LAN. VLANs can operate in different modes based on the incoming traffic.
VLAN on Ethernet port of AP can be configured in different ways. Following are the different modes in which VLAN
functions.
•
Transparent Mode
•
Access Mode
•
Trunk Mode
•
Mixed Mode
