21 / 90l

The parameter MaxNodeId determines the maximum number of

devices that are connected to a STAR.

Authorization Level: 2

Preset value: 1

Scope: 1 … 250

The parameter Location can be edited freely to determine the lo-

cation of the IWMAN radio modem, e.g. Water_Tower01 or

rooftop.

Authorization Level: 2

Preset value: default-location

Scope: No value

2.5.2 Parameter for the Serial Configuration Interface

The following parameters serve for the communication with the

serial configuration interface and are important for the correct

communication with the command line level.

The parameter ConBaudrate determines the Baud rate that can

be transferred over the RS-232-interface for configuring the

WIMAN.

Authorization Level: 1

Preset value: 9600

Scope: 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,

19200, 38400, 57600

The Parameter ConDataBit determines the length of the data bits

when transferring data over the RS 232-interface.

Authorization Level: 2

Preset value: 8

Scope: 7, 8

The parameter ConHandShake determines the handshaking

mode during a transfer on RS-232-interface. It can be selected

between a software-controlled handshaking and no handshaking.

With software-controlled handshaking the control sequences

Xon and Xoff are used.

Authorization Level: 2

Preset value: soft

Scope: soft, none (no handshaking)

The WIMAN Command Line Level ConPageSize ConPauseMode ConParity ConStopBit 2.5.3 The parameter ConPageSize indicates, how many lines in the respective command line window (terminal window over RS-232interface) are to be represented, before the continuous output of the parameters is stopped. The size of an output page is thus finally determined. Authorization Level: 2 Preset value: 24 Scope: 10 ...

Authorization Level: 2 Preset value: 16 Scope: 16, 32 The parameter SerEncode determines the coding procedure on the X.21-interface. It can be selected between the values NRZ or NRZI. NRZ is for No Return zero and NRZI for NO Return zero Inverted.

2 The WIMAN Command Line Level IPEthMask IPSerAddress IPSerMask IPWLAddress IPWLMask IPTFTPServer Preset value: 0.0.0.0 Scope: valid IP-address The parameter IPEthMask determines the subnet-mask for the IP network bound to the Ethernet interface. Authorization Level: 2 Preset: 0.0.0.0 Scope: valid IP-subnet-mask The parameter IPSerAddress determines the IP address, which is bound to the X.21-interface (an IP address from the local area network). Authorization Level: 1 Preset value: 0.0.

2 The WIMAN Command Line Level Scope: 2.5.5 valid IP-address Other Parameter PS 1 The parameter PS1 determines the appearance of the WIMAN command line prompt. The factory-installed setting is WIMAN II >. However, the user has the option to edit the command line prompt (e.g. DEVICE 1:). Authorization Level: SyncMode 2 The parameter SyncMode determines whether the WIMAN generates the Burst-synchronizing signal (master), or if it will receive an externally generated Burst signal (Slave).

For instructions on how to set up a password for authorization level one, see Chapter 3.5.1, page 40. Del Passwd console The instruction del Passwd console deletes the password for authorization level one (console). For mor information see Chapter 3.5.2, page 41.

2 The WIMAN Command Line Level Note Entering the command exit at the command line level (Shell) will always allow you to leave the command mode. This procedure ensures that modifications made in a higher authorization level are saved. Export The command Export makes it possible to export the configuration parameter values into an ACSII-file. The Serial number of the WIMAN as well as the encrypted passwords are put out, too.

3 Configuration of the WIMAN radio modem 3 Configuration of the WIMAN radio modem To adjust the WIMAN to your specific network needs it is necessary to modify some of the factory-installed preset parameters. This modification of the WIMAN can be executed via three different types of interfaces: • the wireless interface • the RS-232-interface • the X.21-interface.
PAGE 14
3 Configuration of the WIMAN radio modem 3.2 Access to the Command Line Level over the RS232 Interface Checklist: To access the WIMAN via the serial RS-232-interface you need: • Terminal program (e.g. ZOC, TELIX), • PC/Laptop with a free serial interface (e.g.. Com1, Com2) • Hybrid cable (see chapter 8.
PAGE 15
3 Configuration of the WIMAN radio modem The operating system of the WIMAN has an integrated command line interpreter ("Shell") for configuration. Input and output is shown on the input/output window of the PC terminal program (e.g. TELIX, ZOC), which must be able to emulate a VTterminal (DEC). The communication parameters of the terminal program and the WIMAN must correspond so that the WIMAN and the Computer can communicate.
