Subnet Mask -
The subnet mask allows networking software to determine which
parts of the IP address specify the network address and which parts specify the
host address. If your device is using the wrong subnet mask for the network to
which you are attached, it will therefore not be able to communicate with all
users on that network. The factory programmed subnet mask of the AI108
wireless bridge is 255.255.255.0.
Gateway Address -
IP packets destined for other subnets are automatically sent to the
default gateway, which routes the traffic to the correct network. The gateway address
must be specified following the same convention as the IP address.
Antenna Alignment Tool
- The antenna alignment tool displays your current
connection status based on received signal strength (RSS). The RSS indicator is a
useful diagnostic tool for you to test the transmission quality between the local and
remote AI108 bridge unit and to optimize antenna alignment. Please refer to section
Installing and Aligning the Outdoor Units
for detailed instructions on antenna
alignment.
Note:
Remember to save your new configuration settings before selecting another tab
by pressing the
Submit
button. If you are finished making changes to the local bridge
configuration, press the
Restart
button to save the new configuration settings and
reboot the local bridge, activating all new settings. You can also use the
Start Bridge
button to activate the new settings and immediately put the unit in bridging mode,
without re-entering the configuration utility.
Note:
If settings are modified inadvertently, the
Restore System Defaults
button can
be used to return to the factory default settings of all networking, radio, and security
parameters. All modified data will be lost.
