Redline Communications AN-50e PMP Quick Configuration Manual

Quick Configuration Guide

AN-50/AN-50e PMP V3.0
This procedure is to aid configuring point-to-multipoint (PMP) operation on AN-50 and AN-50e systems.
For complete installation and operational procedures. refer to the AN-50e System User Manual, the AN-
30e/AN-50e Quick Install Guide, and the Redline BFW Installation Guidelines provided on CD-ROM.
The VLAN tagging feature allows the user to configure and operate an AN-50e deployment as a VLAN-
aware wireless switch. A 'group' is created at the sector controller for each VLAN to be transported, and
'connections' are added to enable data flow with any subscriber station participating in that VLAN. If VLAN
is not required, a default group and set of connections must be setup to define the traffic characteristics.
Prior to completing this setup, no Ethernet data traffic can be transmitted over the wireless interface.
The procedures provided below include steps to setup a basic working configuration for initial testing, and
then to introduce VLAN traffic controls.
