Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are logical groupings of network hosts. Defined by
software settings, other VLAN members or resources appear (to connected hosts) to be on
the same physical segment, no matter where they are attached on the logical LAN or WAN
segment. They simplify traffic flow between clients and their frequently used or restricted
resources.
A device can communicate across a VLAN-capable switch that analyses VLAN tagged frames
and directs traffic to the appropriate units. The purpose of this network is to provide an
easy way of modifying logical groups in the dynamic environment.
To configure the VLAN, Click Quick Start> System
VLAN Status: Enable/ Disable
VLAN Mode:
By default, VLAN Mode is Transparent in AP/SU
In case of SU, VLAN Mode can be any mode among the following:
Transparent / Trunk / Access / Q-in-Q
Management VLAN ID
This parameter is used to configure the Management VLAN ID. The management stations
must tag the management frames sent to the device with the management VLAN ID
specified in the device. The device will tag all the management frames from the device with
the specified management VLAN.
Before setting the Management VLAN ID from 1 to 4094, make sure that the
management platform or host is a member of the same VLAN; or else, your access
to the device will be lost.
If Tag Management is disabled, only untagged frames can access the device.
Transparent
To configure the VLAN Transparent Mode in AP or SU, Click Quick Start> System
Transparent Mode is available for the Ethernet and Wireless interfaces for both AP

The DCS parameter allows an AP to monitor the retransmissions of packets transmitted to
the associated SU on the current operating channel.
When the average of Local RTX percentage of associated SU crosses user configured value,
before switching to new channel, AP evaluates local RTX percentage for 30 sec and triggers
Spectrum Analyser to scan the medium.
The Spectrum Analyser scans for less interference channel and associates the high priority
SU to the best channel available.
This feature is available only in AP with 5GHz.
The DCS threshold is user selectable range (0-100)% and is activated only when DCS
is enabled.
Default chosen DCS threshold is 50%, when this percentage limit exceeds, the AP
activates spectrum analyser and assigns best channel to the desired SU.

Trace route: Trace route determines that the packet has reached the destination by
including a port number that is outside the normal range. When it is reached,
the Port Unreachable message is sent in return, which defines the time length of
the final hop. Trace route provides you with the information hop by hop. Each hop
is determined three times. When a website is unreachable or slow, trace route
allows you to see where the connection fails or has delays.
Nslookup: The Nslookup command is a DNS lookup utility
Example: nslookup hostname nameserver (nameserver address or nameserver IP
address) - provides you with a DNS record stored in the specified DNS server.

7.5.2 Site Survey: This is available only in SU
Site Survey is for SU 5GHz Radio where it can scan and join the AP with the same
SSID.
Once the Access Point parameters were configured, the subscriber unit will scan
and get parameters updated from the AP. This way SU’s basic configuration will be
updated and further need to be monitored

7.5.3 Spectrum Analyser: This is available only in AP
Scans all the frequencies from the configured start frequency to end frequency for
a specified scan time.
Click Start button and the results will be displayed in a graph:
A1 Vertical shows signal strength received on antenna A1 at each frequency.
A2 Horizontal shows signal strength received on antenna A2 at each frequency.
Utilization: This shows the max utilization of the medium at each frequency in
percentage.
