This address is controlled at the DataLink Layer of the OSI model, and is in a hexadecimal format separated by four octets (i.e., 82.39.1E.38). Major alarm Indicates that the alarm may cause service interruption.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Multi-path fading The condition in which the “true” signal from an antenna reflects off an object (usually the ground) and, as a result, the reflected signal causes destructive interference at the receiving antenna. Multi-path fading affects linearly polarized signals more than circularly polarized signals.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Part 15 (of FCC rules) The section of the FCC Code of Federal Regulations defines the restrictions regarding the use of Spread Spectrum systems. Passive Repeater A re-radiation device associated with a transmitting/receiving antenna system that re-directs intercepted radio frequency energy without boosting or processing the signal. Path Length The distance between two ends of a wireless system.
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Protocol A network protocol is the standard that allows computers to communicate with each other. A protocol defines how computers identify one another on the network, the form that the data should take in transit, and how this information is processed once it reaches its final destination. Protocols also define procedures for handling lost or damaged transmissions or “packets.

Appendix B Startup LED Patterns
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Startup LED Patterns On startup the brouter will go through several start up tests. If any of the tests fail, the brouter will display a particular pattern for the Forwarding Rate% (located on the front panel of the brouter).
SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide Interface Startup After initial startup is complete and LEDs are de-powered, the brouter kernel will then attempt to auto configure each interface starting with the first one. As each interface is started and tested, the 3 LEDs (Receive, Transmit, and Error) associated with that particular interface will power-up. If the interface successfully completes testing, the LEDs will shut off and the next interface will be probed.
