Configuring ePMP Subscriber Module (SM) devices to operate as ePTP Slave or TDD PTP devices
The Quick Start tab contains a listing of parameters required to configure a simple radio link and to configure requisite
networking parameters.
To configure the device to operate in ePTP Slave or TDD mode via the Quick Start menu, follow the procedure below:
Procedure:
1. Start the web browser from the management PC.
2. Navigate to the Quick Start menu
3. Configure the parameter Radio Mode to Subscriber Module
4. Configure the parameter Subscriber Module Mode to ePTP Slave or TDD based on your deployment’s requirements. See
page 1 for information about ePTP Slave and TDD PTP modes.
5. Configure the parameter Device Name:
The Device Name is used to identify the device on the network. This parameter may be modified or left at the default value of
Cambium-SM.
6. Configure the Network Mode parameter:
This parameter defines how the network interface at the ePTP Slave/TDD module will function. Three options are available:
NAT: The ePTP Slave/TDD module acts as a router and packets are forwarded or filtered based on their IP header (source or
destination). The device translates IP addresses between the Wireless and Ethernet interfaces.
Bridge: The device acts as a switch, and packets are forwarded or filtered based on their MAC destination address.
Router: The device acts as a router and packets are forwarded or filtered based on their IP header (source or destination)
using specific Static Routes and IP Aliases configured by the operator.
7. Configure the parameter IP Assignment:
If DHCP is selected, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (Ethernet (LAN) IP Address, Ethernet (LAN) IP
Subnet Mask, Gateway IP Address (LAN)) and the values of those individual parameters (below) are not used. To configure a
simple test network, select mode Static.
8. Configure the parameter IP address:
Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a
network. To configure a simple test network, this field may be left at default (192.168.0.2)
9. Configure the parameter Subnet Mask:
The Subnet Mask defines the address range of the connected IP network. To configure a simple test network, this field may be left at default
(255.255.255.0).
10. Configure the parameter Gateway:
The IP address of the device on the current network that acts as a gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance and exit to packets from and to
other networks. To configure a simple test network, this parameter may be left at default (blank).
11. If applicable, configure the parameter WPA2 Pre-shared Key:
Configure the device with this key (matching the ePTP Master/TDD PTP Master configured key) to complete the
authentication configuration. This key must be between 8 to 128 symbols. Click the visibility icon to toggle the display of the
key’s contents.
12. If applicable, configure the parameter EAP-TTLS Username:
Configure the device with the EAP-TTLS Username matching the credentials on the RADIUS server being used for the network.
Optionally, the device MAC Address can be used as the EAP-TTLS Username in either “:” or “-“ delimited format.
13. If applicable, configure the parameter EAP-TTLS Password:
Configure the device with the EAP-TTLS Password matching the credentials on the RADIUS server being used for the network.
Click the visibility icon to toggle the display of the password’s contents.
14. If applicable, configure the parameter Authentication Identity String:
Configure the device with the identity string matching the credentials on the RADIUS server being used for the network. The
default value for this parameter is anonymous.
15. If applicable, configure the parameter Authentication Identity Realm:
Configure the device with the Identity realm matching the credentials on the RADIUS server being used for the network.
Default value for this parameter is “cambiumnetworks.com”.
16. Configure the Preferred AP’s
The Preferred AP’s list is comprised of a list of up to 16 Access Points (ePTP Masters or TDD PTP devices, in this case) to which
the ePTP Slave/TDD device sequentially attempts registration. For each AP (ePTP Master/TDD PTP device) configured, if
authentication is required, enter a Pre-shared Key associated with the configured SSID. If this list is empty or if none of the
configured APs (ePTP Masters/TDD PTP devices) are found, the ePTP Slave/TDD PTP device scans and registers to the best AP
(ePTP Master/TDD PTP device) signal found with matching radio and/or authentication settings.
17. Configure the section Subscriber Module Scanning
The Radio Scan List determines the frequencies and channel bandwidths for which the device scans for ePTP Master/TDD PTP
device signaling. For a simple radio network setup, click Select All to scan all frequencies.
18. Click the Save icon, then click the Reset icon
