  30. FLC830E & FLC910ENetwork Architectures

  31. P2P BS / SAI Networks • Network bridging of one or more IP devices • Switch is not required if using a single IP device • Can be used for fixed or mobile applications • Cannot operate with Interbuilding Mode (IBR or sometimes called PxP) radios

  32. P2P IBR Networks • All radios in an IBR network operate in IBR mode and on the same RF channel • Cannot communicate with with AP, WDS and SAI mode radios • This is not a standard 802.11 mode. The FLC830E will interoperate with the FLC810E+ modems • One or more IP devices can CAT5 connect to a single radio • Can be used with fixed or mobile applications

  33. P2MP IBR with Repeater Networks • All modems operating in IBR mode and set to the same RF channel • Can be used with fixed applications • Can be used in mobile apps with constraints • Repeating reduces overall throughput

  34. P2MP BS/SAI • The number of SAI radiosis not limited • All communication is betweenBS and SAI • By default any IP device can communicate with any other IP device • SAI to SAI communications (peer to peer) can be enabled/disabled • Can be used in fixed or mobile applications

  35. P2MP BS/SAI Wired Distribution

  36. P2MP BS/SAI Wired Distribution • Wired Ethernet providesBS to BS communications • Each BS is assigned the same ESSID and should be assigned a different RF channels • SAI to BS transition points controlled by adjusting radio transmit power • Supports fixed and mobile applications

  37. P2MP BS/SAI Wireless Distribution

  38. P2MP BS/SA Wireless Distribution • Wireless Ethernet providesBS to BS communications • Each BS can be assigned a different RF channel • SA to BS transition points controlled by adjusting radio transmit power • SA radios can be fixed or mobile • WDS radio links are static so these radios should not be mobile

  39. P2MP IBR Static RF Paths (1) • After achieving RF connections, RF routing is static • Example:Assume all RFpaths are useable

  40. P2MP IBR Static RF Paths (2) • At power-on the modems automatically choose RF paths • In this case, as shown

  41. P2MP IBR Static RF Paths (3) • Area 1 modem service stops • Area 2, because the RF route is static, will no longer communicate until: • New routingis achieved bypower cycling Area2 radio • Area 1 modemreturns to service • Conclusions: • IBR mode is not recommendedfor mobile applications • The network does notautomatically self-heal

  42. P2MP WDS Static RF Paths • WDS mode is similar to IBR mode except RF paths are manually configured • Conclusions • WDS mode radios, due to static RF paths, should be fixed location • SAI mode radios are suitable for mobile use

  43. A BS & WDS supports up to 8 virtual networks Each virtual network can be assigned to a VLAN BS/WDS Virtual Networks

  44. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) • Radios provide STP support when enabled (default) • The Ethernet switches are unmanged low cost • One wireless network is active, the other is redundant and blocked • If active network fails, the other will operate

  45. Dynamic RF Links – IBR or WDS • The FLC radios do not support dynamic RF paths

  46. FLC Configuration

  47. Skills - Ethernet Networks • Require understanding and configuration of Ethernet • Ethernet wired media • MAC address • IP Address • Subnet Mask • Be able to • Configure a computer’s Network Interface Card (NIC) • Use commands such as ping, ipconfig • Use Internet Explorer

  48. Initial FLC Configuration • Press and hold the reset button (5 seconds) until the status light flashes rapidly • The FLC now in factory default (IP address: 192.168.1.1) • Determine PC NIC to use for configuration. Configure it like this: • Record current settings for later restoration • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 • IP Address: 192.168.1.10 (suggested) • First three octants must be 192.168.1.xxx • xxx can be any address from 2 to 254 • CAT5 cable the FLC to your NIC. The FLC LAN light illuminates • Direct PC to FLC connection may require a cross CAT5 cable • Using a switch or hub typically requires straight CAT5 cables • Test connectivity: • Open a PC command prompt (DOS box) • Ping the FLC by entering “ping 192.168.1.1”. • There must be ping replies or something is wrong. • Use a Web Browser and enter URL: 192.168.1.1
