23. Refer to the Sniffer Redirect (Packet Capture) field to define the radio’s captured packet
configuration.
24. Refer to the Channel Scanning field to define the radio’s captured packet configuration.
25. Select OK to save the changes to the Advanced Settings screen. Select Reset to revert to the
last saved configuration.
WAN Backhaul Configuration
Profile Interface Configuration
A Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) card is a specialized network interface card that allows a
network device to connect, transmit and receive data over a Cellular Wide Area Network. The
BR71XX, RFS4000 and RFS6000 all have a PCI Express card slot that supports 3G WWAN cards.
The WWAN card uses point-to-point protocol (PPP) to connect to the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
and gain access to the Internet. PPP is the protocol used for establishing internet links over dial-up
modems, DSL connections, and many other types of point-to-point communications. PPP packages
your system’s TCP/IP packets and forwards them to the serial device where they can be put on the
network. PPP is a full-duplex protocol used on various physical media, including twisted pair or fiber
optic lines or satellite transmission. It uses a variation of High Speed Data Link Control (HDLC) for
packet encapsulation.
To define a WAN Backhaul configuration:
1. Select Configuration > Profiles > Interface.
2. Expand the Interface menu to display its submenu options.
3. Select WAN Backhaul.
Host for Redirected
Packets If packets are re-directed from a connected Access Point radio, define an IP address for a resource
(additional host system) used to capture the re-directed packets. This address is the numerical (non
DNS) address of the host used to capture the re-directed packets.
Channel to Capture
Packets Use the drop-down menu to specify the channel used to capture re-directed packets. The default value
is channel 1.
Enable Off-Channel
Scan Enable this option to scan across all channels using this radio. Channel scans use Access Point
resources and can be time consuming, so only enable when your sure the radio can afford the
bandwidth be directed towards to the channel scan and does not negatively impact client support.
Off Channel Scan list
for 5GHz Define a list of channels for off channel scans using the 5GHz Access Point radio. Restricting off
channel scans to specific channels frees bandwidth otherwise utilized for scanning across all the
channels in the 5GHz radio band.
Off Channel Scan list
for 2.4GHz Define a list of channels for off channel scans using the 2.4GHz Access Point radio. Restricting off
channel scans to specific channels frees bandwidth otherwise utilized for scanning across all the
channels in the 2.4GHz radio band.
Max Multicast Set the maximum number (from 0 - 100) of multicast/broadcast messages used to perform off channel
scanning. The default setting is four.
Scan Interval Set the interval (from 2 - 100 dtims) off channel scans occur. The default setting is 20dtims.
Sniffer Redirect Specify the IP address of the host to which captured off channel scan packets are redirected.
