Motorola MotoWI4 PTP 600 Series - Manual (Page 108)

106
Target MAC Address: The MAC Address of the peer unit that will be at the other end of the
wireless link. This is used by the system to ensure the unit establishes a wireless link to the
correct peer.
The MAC Address can be found embedded within the serial number of the unit. The last six
characters of the serial number are the last three bytes of the unit’s MAC address.
(Note: A PTP 600 Series system is shipped as a pair of units with pre-loaded correct MAC
addresses. MAC addresses will only need to be entered if an existing unit has to be replaced
in the field or the units configuration has been erased).
Master Slave Mode: At this point it is necessary to decide which end will designate a Master.
The Master unit is the controlling unit with respect to the point-to-point link and its
maintenance. The master transmits until the link is made, while the Slave listens for its peer
and only transmits when the peer has been identified.
Link Mode Optimization: Optimizes the link behavior according to the type of traffic that will
be bridged.
Max Transmit Power: This attribute controls the maximum transmit power the unit is
permitted to use when installing and executing the wireless link. The maximum setting for a
particular region or country is controlled by the License Key.
Ranging Mode: During installation the wireless units perform automatic ranging. The ranging
mode allows the installer to control the behavior of the system’s automatic ranging algorithms.
The default value is 0 to 40 km
21
(0 to 25 miles). If the installer is required to install a link of
greater than 40 km (25 miles) then the ranging mode attribute MUST be configured to ‘0 to
100km’ (0 to 62 miles) or ‘0 to 200km’ (0 to 124 miles) mode depending on the range of the
link.
Target Range: Installers that know the range between the two wireless units to within
± 1 km
can use the target range mode. The main advantage of the target range mode is that it
reduces the time taken by the units to range. To use the target range mode the installer
MUST select Target Range as the ranging mode and enter the approximate range in km in
the Target range data entry field at both ends of the link.

If preferred PTP 600 Series Bridge range functions can be configured to operate in miles, see the
page in section 8.3.14. Properties
