Release 8
Installation and Configuration Guide
Perform the following procedure to set up the CMMmicro.
IMPORTANT!
Start with the 24-V DC power converter unconnected to AC.
Procedure 17: Setting up a CMMmicro
1. Connect the converter lead whose insulation has a white stripe to +V on the
CMMmicro terminal block.
2. Connect the converter lead whose insulation is solid black to -V on the
CMMmicro terminal block.
3. Connect the power converter to an AC receptacle using the AC power cord.
4. Wait until the green LED labeled RDY flashes.
NOTE: This should occur in less than one minute and will indicate that the
CMMmicro has transitioned from booting to normal operation.
5. Observe which, if any, Ethernet ports are powered, as indicated by a lit red LED
to the right of the Ethernet port.
NOTE: The position of this +24-V OUT LED is shown in Figure 74 on Page 218.
CAUTION!
Never connect any devices other than Canopy APs and BHs to a
powered port. Powered ports are indicated by a red LED to the right of
the port. (See Item 7 in Figure 75 on Page 220.) A powered port has
24-V DC on Pins 7 and 8 and 24-V return on Pins 4 and 5. This can
damage other networking equipment, such as a computer or a router.
6. On the 8-port Ethernet block of the CMMmicro, use either a straight-through or
crossover Ethernet cable to connect any unpowered port (without the red LED lit)
to a browser-equipped computer.
NOTE: The CMMmicro auto-senses the cable type.
7. Verify these CMMmicro connections against Figure 76 on Page 220.
8. Configure the computer to use DHCP, with no proxy in your network settings.
9. Open the browser.
10. In the address bar, enter 169.254.1.1 (the default IP address of the CMMmicro).
RESULT: The browser displays the CMMmicro Status page.

Additional security derives from the configuration of the SNMP Accessing Subnet,
Trap Address, and Permission parameters.
SNMP Accessing Subnet
Specify the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests to this CMMmicro. The
NMS has an address that is among these addresses (this subnet). You must enter both
◦
The network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
◦
The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form /xx
For example
◦
the /16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (the first 16 bits
in the address range are identical among all members of the subnet).
◦
192.168.102.0 specifies that any device whose IP address is in the range
192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send SNMP requests to the CMMmicro,
presuming that the device supplies the correct SNMP Community String value.
RECOMMENDATION:

Installation and Configuration Guide
Trap Address
Specify the IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) of one to ten servers (Prizm or NMS) to which
trap information should be sent. Trap information informs the monitoring systems that
something has occurred. For example, trap information is sent
◦
after a reboot of the module.
◦
when Prizm or an NMS attempts to access agent information but either
−
supplied an inappropriate community string or SNMP version number.
−
is associated with a subnet to which access is disallowed.
Permission
Select Read Only if you wish to disallow any parameter changes by Prizm or an NMS.
Site Name
Specify a string to associate with the physical module. This parameter is written into the
sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an NMS. The buffer size for this field
is 128 characters.
Site Contact
Enter contact information for the module administrator. This parameter is written into the
sysContact SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an NMS. The buffer size for this
field is 128 characters.
Site Location
Enter information about the physical location of the module. This parameter is written into
the sysLocation SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an NMS. The buffer size for
this field is 128 characters.
The CMMmicro Configuration page also provides the following buttons.
Enable 802.1Q Tagging
Once 802.1Q Tagging is enabled and an 802.1Q VLAN ID is set, only frames that are
VLAN tagged with the configured tag value will be accepted by the management
controller of the CMMmicro. All frames outgoing from the management controller of the
CMMmicro will have an 802.1Q VLAN tag, set to the configured VLAN ID.
802.1Q VLAN ID
Once 802.1Q Tagging is enabled and an 802.1Q VLAN ID is set, only frames that are
VLAN tagged with the configured tag value will be accepted by the management
controller of the CMMmicro. All frames outgoing from the management controller of the
CMMmicro will have an 802.1Q VLAN tag, set to the configured VLAN ID.
VLAN Port Configuration
Each column in the VLAN Port Configuration section of Figure 78 corresponds to a port.
Checkboxes in each column control which ports can transmit traffic that arrives on the
(column) port. For example, in the first column if only Port 2 is checked, then Port 1
(column 1) will only be allowed to send data out on Port 2 (checked box). Port 2 (second
column) is able to send data out on all other ports. All other ports, meanwhile, are only
allowed to send data out on Port 2. This configuration is also known as an Uplink
configuration for Port 2.
Each direction (for example, port 1 to port 2 versus port 2 to port 1) must be configured
separately. It is possible to configure a port to send data to a second port, but not allow
Issue 2, December 2006

229
Installation and Configuration Guide
Release 8
the second port to send data back to the first port (for example, check Port 8 in the Port 2
column, but do not check Port 2 in the Port 8 column). These settings should be changed
with caution, and with two-way communication in mind.
In all cases, even when not checked, all ports will still be able to communicate with the
CMMmicro management controller.
Setting (checking) any Uplink Port checkboxes (see Figure 78) will override VLAN Port
Configuration settings. If you desire complete control on a port-by-port basis using VLAN
Port Configuration, all Uplink Port boxes must be unchecked in the Uplink Port section.

16.4.13 Port MIB Page of the CMMmicro
An example of the Port MIB (Ethernet statistics) web page is displayed in Figure 80.
Figure 80: Port MIB page of CMMmicro, example
The Port MIB page displays Ethernet statistics and traffic information for the ports on the
managed switch. To display the port statistics, click on a port number.
Ports 1 through 8 are the regular ports, connected to APs, BHs, or other network
elements. Port 9 is the connection between the managed switch and the CMMmicro
processor. Thus, updates to interface pages, SNMP activities, and FTP and telnet
sessions create traffic on Port 9.
These Ethernet statistics can also be retrieved from the CMMmicro by a Network
Management Station using SNMP. During advanced troubleshooting, this information can
be useful as you see the activity on a single port or as you compare activity between
ports of the CMMmicro.

17 PREPARING COMPONENTS FOR DEPLOYMENT
Your test of the modules not only verified that they are functional, but also yielded data
that you have stored about them. Most efficiently preparing modules for deployment
involves
◦
retrieving that data.
◦
systematically collecting the data into a single repository, while keeping a strong
(quick) association between the data and the module.
◦
immediately merging module access data into this previously stored data.
17.1 CORRELATING COMPONENT-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
You can use the data that you noted or printed from the Status pages of the modules to
◦
store modules for future deployment.
◦
know, at a glance, how well-stocked you are for upcoming network expansions.
◦
efficiently draw modules from stock for deployment.
◦
plan any software updates that you
−
wish to perform to acquire features.
−
need to perform to have the feature set be consistent among all modules in a
network expansion.
You can make these tasks even easier by collecting this data into a sortable database.
17.2 ENSURING CONTINUING ACCESS TO THE MODULES
As you proceed through the steps under Configuring for the Destination on Page 235,
you will set values for parameters that specify the sync source, data handling
characteristics, security measures, management authorities, and other variables for the
modules. While setting these, you will also tighten access to the module, specifically in
◦
the Color Code parameter of Configuration page
◦
the Display-Only Access and Full Access password parameters of the
Configuration page.
◦
the addressing parameters of the IP Configuration page.
Before you set these, consider whether and how you may want to set these by a selfdevised scheme. A password scheme can help you when you have forgotten or misfiled
a password. An IP addressing scheme may be essential to the operation of your network
and to future expansions of your network.
As you set these, note the color code and note or print the parameters you set on the
Configuration page tabs. Immediately associate them with the following previously stored
data about the modules:
◦
device type, frequency band, and MAC address
◦
software version and encryption type
◦
software boot version
◦

Device Setting
You can temporarily transform an AP into an SM and thereby use the spectrum analyzer
functionality. See Using the AP as a Spectrum Analyzer on Page 366. Otherwise, the
selection for this parameter is AP.
Link Speeds
Specify the type of link speed for the Ethernet connection. The default for this parameter
is that all speeds are selected. The recommended setting is a single speed selection for
all APs, BHs, and SMs in the operator network.
Configuration Source
See Setting the Configuration Source on Page 292.
CAUTION!
Do not set this parameter to BAM where both
◦
◦

the All Local SM Management parameter (in the VLAN Configuration
page of the AP) is set to Enable.
This combination causes the SMs to become unmanageable, until you gain
direct access with an Override Plug and remove this combination from the AP
configuration.
Sync Input
Specify the type of synchronization for this AP to use:
◦
Select Sync to Received Signal (Power Port) to set this AP to receive sync
from a connected CMMmicro.
◦
Select Sync to Received Signal (Timing Port) to set this AP to receive sync
from a connected CMM2, an AP in the cluster, an SM, or a BH timing slave.
◦
Select Generate Sync Signal where the AP does not receive sync, and no other
AP or BHM is active within the link range.
Webpage Auto Update
Enter the frequency (in seconds) for the web browser to automatically refresh the webbased interface. The default setting is 0. The 0 setting causes the web-based interface to
never be automatically refreshed.
Bridge Entry Timeout
Specify the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with the existing
network infrastructure. The Bridge Entry Timeout should be a longer period than the ARP
(Address Resolution Protocol) cache timeout of the router that feeds the network.
Issue 2, December 2006
Draft for Regulatory Review
237
Installation and Configuration Guide
Release 8
CAUTION!
An inappropriately low Bridge Entry Timeout setting may lead to temporary loss
of communication with some end users.
Translation Bridging
If you want the Translation Bridging feature, select Enabled. This has numerous
implications. For a full description of them, see Uplink Frame Contents on Page 83.
Send Untranslated ARP
If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Enabled, then the Send Untranslated
ARP parameter can be
◦
disabled, so that the AP will overwrite the MAC address in Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) packets before forwarding them.
◦
enabled, so that the AP will forward ARP packets regardless of whether it has
overwritten the MAC address.
See Uplink Frame Contents on Page 83 and Address Resolution Protocol on Page 162.
If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Disabled, then the Send Untranslated
ARP parameter has no effect.
SM Isolation
Prevent or allow SM-to-SM communication by selecting from the following drop-down
menu items:
◦
Disable SM Isolation (the default selection). This allows full communication
between SMs.
◦

Release 8
You may set the IP tab parameters as follows.
LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, IP Address
Enter the non-routable IP address to associate with the Ethernet connection on this AP.
(The default IP address from the factory is 169.254.1.1.) If you set and then forget this
parameter, then you must both
1. physically access the module.
2. use an override plug to electronically access the module configuration
parameters at 169.254.1.1. See Overriding Forgotten IP Addresses or
Passwords on AP, SM, or BH on Page 377.
RECOMMENDATION:
Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily
associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you
store about the module.
LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, Subnet Mask
Enter an appropriate subnet mask for the AP to communicate on the network. The default
subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. See Allocating Subnets on Page 162.
LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, Gateway IP Address
Enter the appropriate gateway for the AP to communicate with the network. The default
gateway is 169.254.0.0.
The values of these four LAN1 network interface configuration parameters are displayed
read only along with the Ethernet speed and duplex state on the Network Interface tab of
the Home page in the AP.
LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, DHCP State
If you select Enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration
(IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual
parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also
viewable, but not settable, in the Network Interface tab of the Home page.
LAN2 Network Interface Configuration (RF Private Interface), IP Address
You should not change this parameter from the default AP private IP address of
192.168.101.1. A /24 CIDR subnet is used to communicate with each of the SMs that are
registered. The AP uses a combination of the private IP and the LUID (logical unit ID) of
the SM.
For example, if an SM is the first to register in an AP, and another SM registers later,
then the AP whose Private IP address is 192.168.101.1 uses the following SM Private IP
addresses to communicate to each:
SM

Issue 2, December 2006
Draft for Regulatory Review
241
Installation and Configuration Guide
Release 8
The Radio tab of the AP contains some of the configurable parameters that define how
the AP operates. As shown in Figure 83, you may set the Radio tab parameters as
follows.
Radio Frequency Carrier
Specify the frequency for the module to transmit. The default for this parameter is None.
(The selection labeled Factory requires a special software key file for implementation.)
For a list of channels in the band, see the drop-down list or Considering Frequency Band
Alternatives on Page 136.
Color Code
Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the
AP must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a
management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code.
Color code allows you to force an SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the
SM can communicate with multiple APs. On all Canopy modules, the default setting for
the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color
codes).
RECOMMENDATION:
Note the color code that you enter. Ensure that you can readily associate this
color code both with the module and with the other data that you store about the
module.
Sector ID
Specify a number in the range 1 to 6 to associate with this AP. The Sector ID setting
does not affect the operation of the AP. On the AP Evaluation tab of the Tools page in
the SM, the Sector ID field identifies the AP that the SM sees. The following steps may
be useful:
◦
Assign a unique Sector ID to each sector in an AP cluster.
◦
Repeat the assignment pattern throughout the entire Canopy system.
Max Range
Enter a number of miles (or kilometers divided by 1.61, then rounded to an integer) for
the furthest distance from which an SM is allowed to register to this AP. Do not set the
distance to any greater number of miles. A greater distance
◦
does not increase the power of transmission from the AP.
◦
can reduce aggregate throughput. See Table 27 on Page 100.
Regardless of this distance, the SM must meet the minimum requirements for an
acceptable link. If the AP is in cluster, then you must set this parameter on all other APs
in the cluster exactly the same, except as described in the NOTE admonition below.
The default value of this parameter is 2 miles (3.2 km).
For APs in the non 900-MHz frequency band ranges, although the typical maximum
range where an SM is deployed with a reflector is 15 miles (24 km), you can set this
parameter to as far as 30 miles (48 km). Without increasing the power or sensitivity of the
242
Draft for Regulatory Review
Issue 2, December 2006
Release 8
Installation and Configuration Guide
AP or SM, the greater value allows you to attempt greater distance where the RF
environment and Fresnel zone are especially clear.
A value of 15 for this parameter decreases the number of available data slots by 1.
With a higher value, the number is further decreased as the AP compensates for the
expected additional air delay.
NOTE:
In a cluster where at least one AP has Scheduling set to Software and at least
one to Hardware, you must use the Frame Calculator web page to coordinate
the transmit and receive times and you may further need to adjust the value of
the Max Range parameter for individual APs in the cluster to avoid self
interference. See Using the Frame Calculator Tool (All) on Page 440.
Downlink Data
Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink (frames transmitted
from the AP to the subscriber). For example, if the aggregate (uplink and downlink total)
throughput on the AP is 6 Mb, then 75% specified for this parameter allocates 4.5 Mb for
the downlink and 1.5 Mb for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 75%.
CAUTION!
You must set this parameter exactly the same for all APs in a cluster.
Control Slots
The recommended number of control slots is as stated in Table 47.
Table 47: Control slot settings for all APs in cluster
Number of SMs that
Register to the AP
Number of Control
Slots Recommended
1 to 10
11 to 50
51 to 150
151 to 200
Slots reserved for control are used for only SM service requests. For data, the hardware
scheduler uses unreserved slots first, then any unused slots are available with any
reserved slots to the SMs for service requests.
See Noting Possible Obstructions in the Fresnel Zone on Page 132.
Issue 2, December 2006
Draft for Regulatory Review
243
Installation and Configuration Guide
Release 8
If too few reserved control slots are specified, then latency increases in high traffic
periods. If too many are specified, then the maximum capacity is unnecessarily reduced.
External Filters Delay
This parameter is present in only 900-MHz modules and can have effect in only those
that have interference mitigation filter(s). Leave this value set to 0, regardless of whether
the AP has an interference mitigation filter.
Transmit Frame Spreading
Where multiple AP clusters operate in the same frequency band range and same
geographical area, select Enable. Then SMs between two APs can register in the
assigned AP (do not register in another AP).
Where multiple AP clusters do not operate in the same frequency band range and same
geographical area, select Disable, but observe the following caveat.
IMPORTANT!
SM throughput is 10% greater with this feature disabled. However, if you disable
Transmit Frame Spreading where this feature was previously enabled, monitor
the zone for interference over a period of days to ensure that this action has not
made any SMs sensitive to the wrong beacon.
With this selection enabled, the AP does not transmit a beacon in each frame, but rather
transmits a beacon in only pseudo-random frames in which the SM expects the beacon.
This allows multiple APs to send beacons to multiple SMs in the same range without
interference.
Transmitter Output Power
Nations and regions may regulate transmitter output power. For example
◦
Both 900-MHz and 5.7-GHz modules are available as connectorized radios,
which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. In
addition to setting the power in the 5.7-GHz connectorized module, the operator
must set the antenna gain/cable loss such that the module can accurately report
received power at the antenna.
◦
Legal maximum allowable transmitter output power and EIRP (Equivalent
Isotropic Radiated Power) in the 2.4-GHz frequency band varies by country and
region. The output power of Series P9 2.4-GHz modules can be adjusted to meet
these national or regional regulatory requirements.
◦
Countries and regions that permit the use of the 5.4-GHz frequency band (CEPT
member states, for example), generally require equipment using the band to
have adjustable power.
The professional installer of Canopy equipment has the responsibility to
244
◦
maintain awareness of applicable regulations.
◦
calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module.
◦
confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional
regulations.

You may set the SNMP tab parameters as follows.
Community String
Specify a control string that allows an Network Management Station (NMS) to access
SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopy.
The Community String value is clear text and is readable by a packet monitor.
Additional security derives from the configuration of the Accessing Subnet, Trap
Address, and Permission parameters.
Accessing Subnet
Specify the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests to this AP. The NMS has
an address that is among these addresses (this subnet). You must enter both
◦
The network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
◦
The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form /xx
For example
◦
the /16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (the first 16 bits
in the address range are identical among all members of the subnet).
◦
192.168.102.0 specifies that any device whose IP address is in the range
192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send SNMP requests to the AP,
presuming that the device supplies the correct Community String value.
The default treatment is to allow all networks access. For more information on CIDR,
execute an Internet search on “Classless Interdomain Routing.”
Trap Address 1 to 10
Specify ten or fewer IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) to which SNMP traps should be sent.
Traps inform Prizm or an NMS that something has occurred. For example, trap
information is sent
◦
after a reboot of the module.
◦
when an NMS attempts to access agent information but either
−
supplied an inappropriate community string or SNMP version number.
−
is associated with a subnet to which access is disallowed.
Trap Enable, Sync Status
If you want sync status traps (sync lost and sync regained) sent to Prizm or an NMS,
select Enabled. If you want these traps suppressed, select Disabled.
Trap Enable, Session Status
If you want session status traps sent to Prizm or an NMS, select Enabled. For the names
and descriptions of session status traps, see Traps Provided in the Canopy Enterprise
MIB on Page 406. If you want these traps suppressed, select Disabled.
Read Permissions
Select Read Only if you wish to disallow any parameter changes through SNMP
(for example, from Prizm or an NMS).

The subscriber is delinquent with payment(s).
◦
You suspect that the subscriber is sending or flooding undesired broadcast
packets into the network, such as when
−
a virus is present in the subscriber's computing device.
−
the subscriber's home router is improperly configured.
Webpage Auto Update
Enter the frequency (in seconds) for the web browser to automatically refresh the webbased interface. The default setting is 0. The 0 setting causes the web-based interface to
never be automatically refreshed.
Bridge Entry Timeout
Specify the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with the existing
network infrastructure. Timeout occurs when the AP encounters no activity with the SM
(whose MAC address is the bridge entry) within the interval that this parameter specifies.
The Bridge Entry Timeout should be a longer period than the ARP (Address Resolution
Protocol) cache timeout of the router that feeds the network.
This parameter governs the timeout interval, even if a router in the system has a longer
timeout interval. The default value of this field is 25 minutes.
CAUTION!
An inappropriately low Bridge Entry Timeout setting may lead to temporary
loss of communication with some end users.
SM Power Up Mode With No 802.3 Link
Specify the default mode in which this SM will power up when the SM senses no Ethernet
link. Select either
◦
Power Up in Aim Mode—the SM boots in an aiming mode. When the SM
senses an Ethernet link, this parameter is automatically reset to Power Up in
Operational Mode. When the module senses no Ethernet link within 15 minutes
after power up, the SM carrier shuts off.
◦
Power Up in Operational Mode—the SM boots in Operational mode. The
module attempts registration. Unlike in previous releases, this is the default
selection in Release 8.
2X Rate
Disable this parameter to facilitate initial aiming from the destination. Then see 2X
Operation on Page 91.

Frame Timing Pulse Gated
If this SM extends the sync pulse to a BH master or an AP, select either
◦
Enable—If this SM loses sync from the AP, then do not propagate a sync pulse
to the BH timing master or other AP. This setting prevents interference in the
event that the SM loses sync.
◦
Disable—If this SM loses sync from the AP, then propagate the sync pulse to the
BH timing master or other AP.
See Wiring to Extend Network Sync on Page 369.
The General tab also contains the following buttons.
Save Changes
When you click this button, any changes that you made on all tabs are recorded in flash
memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of the module.
Reboot
When you click this button
1. the module reboots.
2. any changes that you saved by a click of the Save Changes button are
implemented.

Installation and Configuration Guide
Release 8
NAT Enable/Disable
This parameter enables or disabled the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature for
the SM. NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet/wired side of an SM from being
seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP
address for transport traffic separate from its address for management, terminates
transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are
connected to the Ethernet/wired side of the SM. For further information, see Network
Address Translation (NAT) on Page 156 and NAT and IP Tabs of the SM with NAT
Enabled on Page 268.
NAT Private Network Interface Configuration, IP Address
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
NAT Private Network Interface Configuration, Subnet Mask
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
DMZ Host Interface Configuration, IP Address
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
DMZ Enable
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
NAT Public Network Interface Configuration, IP Address
This field displays the IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign
this address when NAT is disabled.
NAT Public Network Interface Configuration, Subnet Mask
This field displays the subnet mask for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically
assign this address when NAT is disabled.
NAT Public Network Interface Configuration, Gateway IP Address
This field displays the gateway IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically
assign this address when NAT is disabled.
DHCP Start IP
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
Number of IPs to Lease
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
Radio Public Network Interface Configuration, IP Address
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
Radio Public Network Interface Configuration, Interface Enable/Disable
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
Radio Public Network Interface Configuration, Subnet Mask
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
Radio Public Network Interface Configuration, Gateway IP Address
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.

Radio Public Network Interface Configuration, DHCP State
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
ARP Cache Timeout
If a router upstream has an ARP cache of longer duration (as some use 30 minutes),
enter a value of longer duration than the router ARP cache. The default value of this field
is 20 minutes.
TCP Session Garbage Timeout
Where a large network exists behind the SM, you can set this parameter to lower than
the default value of 1440 minutes (24 hours). This action makes additional resources
available for greater traffic than the default value accommodates.
UDP Session Garbage Timeout
You may adjust this parameter in the range of 1 to 1440 minutes, based on network
performance. The default value of this parameter is 4 minutes.
DHCP Client Enable/Disable
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
DHCP Server Enable/Disable
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
DHCP Server Lease Timeout
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
DNS IP Address
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
Preferred DNS IP Address
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
Alternate DNS IP Address
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
The NAT tab also contains the following buttons.
Save Changes
When you click this button, any changes that you made on all tabs are recorded in flash
memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of the module.
Reboot
When you click this button
1. the module reboots.

Figure 93: IP tab of SM with NAT disabled, example
This implementation is illustrated in Figure 46 on Page 157. In the IP tab of an SM with
NAT disabled, you may set the following parameters.
LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, IP Address
Enter the non-routable IP address to associate with the Ethernet connection on this SM.
(The default IP address from the factory is 169.254.1.1.) If you set and then forget this
parameter, then you must both
1. physically access the module.
2. use an override plug to electronically access the module configuration
parameters at 169.254.1.1. See Overriding Forgotten IP Addresses or
Passwords on AP, SM, or BH on Page 377.
RECOMMENDATION:
Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily
associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you
store about the module.
