Setup (General)


Station Name

Station name identifier - Enter string up to forty characters in length.

IP Forwarding Mode

Bridge / Router, Defaults to Bridge mode. Use Router for more advanced IP configurations.

Bridge Forwarding

Everything / IP and ARP types only
By default, the Viper only forwards IP and ARP packets (Ethernet II types: 0x0800, 0x0806).
By selecting the "Everything" setting, the Viper will forward all 802.3 Ethernet II packet types.  Use this setting to transport protocols such as IPX, 802.1Q, etc.
Note that this option is not available in router mode because the Viper will automatically forward all packets per its routing table.  When selecting Router forwarding mode, all relevant IP settings must be configured.

Relay Point

Yes/No (default)
For units that are spread over multiple RF coverage areas, the user needs to identify the ones that will form the backbone between the coverage areas so that any unit can talk to any other unit in the network regardless of their locations.  The units that are forming the backbone between the coverage areas are called Relay Point units.  Selecting this parameter will force the unit to repeat all necessary information from one coverage area to the next.  Refer to the user manual for more details.

Access Point

Yes/No (default)

The system should not be configured for more than one access point.  The access point is considered the gateway to the management network.

CWID

Enabled/Disabled (default).  Enabling CWID allows the unit to broadcast the FCC Call Sign in Morse code at a certain interval.

CWID Call sign is the FCC Call sign to be broadcast.

CWID Interval is the time interval after which the call sign will be broadcasted.

On-line diagnostics Interval

The on-line diagnostic interval is the time interval in which the unit will broadcast the diagnostic string.  Please refer to the user manual for detailed information about the format of the diagnostic string.

Unit Automatic Reset

Enabled/Disabled (default).  Reset the unit at the given frequency.

Unit Reset Interval indicates how long to wait (after power up) before doing a station reset.
