Configure URWB using the controller

Choose Configuration > Tags & Profiles > URWB Network Profile.

Click Add.

In the General tab, complete the following:

1. To edit the profile, enable the URWB Status check box.
2. Enter the URWB Network Profile Name.
3. Enter the description of the profile name.
4. Check the Strong Network Key check box, to configure a strong password evaluation for the network key. If you enable strong network key, it means that the network key must contain atleast one uppercase, lowercase alphabets, and digits.
5. Select either Unencrypted or AES from the Network Key Type drop-down list. You can use only Unencrypted for configuration.
6. Enter the Network-Key.

   The network key must be between 8 and 63 characters long. Only uppercase alphabets, lowercase alphabets, digits, or special characters are allowed in the network key.

Click the Mobility tab and select one of the following Mobility Roles:

To edit the MPO attributes, click the MPO tab.

1. In the Class of Service field, enter a value from 0 to 6.

   This value indicates the number of packets that need to be duplicated. The default value is 6.

2. In the Number of Paths field, enter a value from 1 to 4.

   This value indicates the number of independent paths to be established for traffic duplication. The default value is 1.

3. In the Minimum SNR field, enter a value from 0 to 96.

   This value indicates the minimum SNR for a wireless link to be considered for building a redundant path. The default value is 20.

4. To enable telemetry, check the Enable Telemetry check box.

Complete the following details in the Advanced tab:

1. In the Ethernet Protocols area, select the Allow Ether Types from the drop-down list.

   Select List from the Allow Ether Types drop-down list to allow only custom Ether values.

2. Check the Legacy Ethernet check box to allow Ethernet I frames fowarding.
3. In the Unicast area, check the Unicast Flood check box to enable unicast flood and enter unicast flood limitation.
4. Check the Unicast Flood Limitation check box to flood one packet every 5 seconds.
5. Select the Multicast option from the drop-down list.

Select the Multicast option from the drop-down list.

Check the High Availability Enabled check box to enable the redundancy support for devices in the same class (coordinator, vehicle devices, and point-to-multi-point base).

Click Apply to Device.

Enter configuration mode.

From the Channel width drop-down list, choose one of the channel widths:

In the Encryption section, choose a type of encryption from the AES drop-down list.

In the Fixed Point to Multi Point section, configure the following:

1. Check the Auto Scan check box to allow clients to perform frequency scanning when the RSSI from the base is below the threshold or when there is no signal.
2. Enter the cluster ID to identify a cluster formed of base(s) and client(s).

   Note

   Devices with different cluster IDs do not connect in one topology.

3. Enter the tower ID.

   Note

   Redundant pair of base(s) must be assigned the same unique tower ID.

4. Enter the RSSI Threshold to build a path to the base. The range is from 0 to 100. The default is 0.
