SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
3.9 SUBSCRIBER LINKS
The overall number of configured subscribers is available, along with how many of them are currently active. An
administrator can also purge all subscriber information from the radio. Click the New Link button on the Subscriber
Links screen, Figure 3-22, to access the Subscriber Link Configuration screen. See Figure 3-18 and Figure 3-19.
3.9.1 Management
Links can be added, modified or removed on the SC. They are given unique IDs that are used heavily in the CLI and
SNMP when configuring or monitoring. Links can be viewed in summary on the SC or in detail on both the SC and
the SS. The summary views include metrics that are useful for evaluating the performance of the radio system as a
whole, including per-link RSSI, SINADR and burst rate. The detail views provide complete information about a
link's configuration and current state.
3.9.2 Basic Link Information
Basic link settings are described below.
3.9.2.1 Link Type
SPMP supports configuration of two Link Types—Normal Links and Link Templates—on the SC. Normal Links
allow a particular SS to register with the SC, with access controlled via the unit’s MAC Address. Link Templates
allow an arbitrary number of SS to register with an SC, with access controlled via a Station Template Identifier
(STID) and STID Password.
A Derived Link is automatically generated when an SS registers with an SC and inherits the properties of its parent
Link Template. Normal Links take precedence over Link Templates when a Normal Link is defined for a particular
SS and that SS is configured with an STID and STID Password which correspond with a Link Template.
3.9.2.2 Enable
Normal Links, Link Templates, and Derived Links may be enabled or disabled in order to permit or deny
registration. While enabling or disabling a Normal Link or Derived Link affects the ability of a single SS to register,
enabling or disabling a Link Template affects the ability of all SS configured with the correct STID and STID
Password to register.
3.9.2.3 Link Name
Each Normal Link can be given a name to help an administrator keep track of it. It may be helpful to use the SS
radio's serial number or install location. Derived Links are automatically given a name composed of its parent Link
Template STID and the SS System Name.
In the event that there is a naming conflict between Derived
Links, the SS MAC Address will be used instead of the SS
System Name.
