2. Configure the following parameter(s) as required:
CAUTION!
Configuration hazard – risk of data loss. Do not enable Port Shutdown and Ethernet Lock at the
same time. All data packets will be dropped by the SS if the RF link is lost.
Parameter Description
Port Shutdown Synopsis: { Enable, Disable }
Default: Disabled
When enabled, the Ethernet ports are temporarily disabled for 3 seconds if the SS loses
its RF link to the base station. This indicates to a connected Layer 2 switch the SS is
down.
To better understand this feature, consider the following scenario. Two subscriber
stations are connected to the same base station, and to one another via a Layer 2 switch,
creating a basic ring topology. If the first SS loses its RF link with the base station, the
switch (via STP) will route all traffic through the second SS.
If the second SS also loses its RF link to the base station, the only way to indicate this
to the switch is to temporarily disable the connected Ethernet port on the SS. STP will
detect this and automatically reroute traffic through the first SS.
NOTE
This feature should be disabled for fixed or single mobile subscriber
stations.
Ethernet Lock Synopsis: { Enable, Disable }
When enabled, puts the Ethernet ports in Lock mode.
Data Forwarding Synopsis: { Allowed, Blocked }
Controls whether traffic is forwarded through the Ethernet ports, with the exception of
management traffic. Options include:
• Allowed – The SS is unlocked and traffic can be forwarded
• Blocked – The SS is locked and traffic cannot be forwarded
