These parameters are the values stored in the configuration file. To store these parameters in the ARLAN device choose Configure Device from the main menu.^ 3 Perform Diagnostics:^^Tests the functionality of the ARLAN device. 4 Configure Device:^^Configures the ARLAN device with the current configuration parameter settings. 5 Perform Link Test:^^In ARLAN mode, tests the integrity of the radio link between this ARLAN device and its parent router or any other ARLAN device. In non-ARLAN mode, tests the integrity of the radio link between this device and any other device also in non-ARLAN mode. This command is not possible in PSP mode. 6 Upgrade Firmware:^^Writes new firmware into the non-volatile flash memory of the ARLAN device. A firmware upgrade file has the filename extension .IMG. The file ARLANDLD.IMG must be in the same directory as ARLANDGS.EXE to perform a firmware upgrade to an ISA or micro-channel adapter card. 7 Registration Table:^^Displays the registration table of this router device. This table shows the tree structure of ARLAN units registered to this router and it's child routers. 8 Special Functions:^^Displays a sub-menu containing production/test/engineering options. 9 SETEE:^^Allows the default channel set and radio type to be written to the radio EEPROM. Once a radio type is selected then only the valid channel sets for that radio type are displayed. 10 Reset Card:^^Resets ISA/micro-channel/PCMCIA cards. 11 Hold Reset:^^Puts ISA/micro-channel/PCMCIA cards into reset state to disable them. 12 Grandparent?:^^Sends a router-info packet to our parent router to find out who our parent is registered with. This is mainly used on PC router cards to find out who the card is actually registered with. 13 Post RX Enable:^^Post an RX-enable to an internal ARLAN device. 14 Destination Address:^^Sets the 6-byte address of the ARLAN device to which the radio link is to be tested. In ARLAN mode, automatically set to the address of the parent router of this device. In non-ARLAN mode, automatically set to the ARLAN local cell multicast (01:40:96:00:00:00). May be set to the address of any ARLAN device in the same radio cell. 15 Packet Length:^^Specifies the length of each packet used to perform the Link Test. Minimum of 1-byte, and maximum of 2048-bytes. 16 Number of Packets:^^Specifies the number of packets to send for one Link Test. Minimum of 1, and maximum of 65535. 17 Time Between Tests:^^Specifies the time that ARLANDGS should pause before starting the next Link Test. The units are 1 second. This parameter only applies to Continuous Link Test. 18 Packets per Statistics Update:^^Specifies the number of packets sent before the progress display is updated. 19 Perform Link Test:^^Performs one Link Test to the specified ARLAN device, using the length and number of packets specified. As the test is being performed, test statistics are reported. Press 'P' during the test to pause, and then press any key to resume. 20 Continuous Link Test:^^Run a continuous link test session. Note: 'P' pauses the testing. ESCape exits. 21 Adapter card:^^Choose this item to set-up your internal ARLAN adapter card. 22 Parallel card:^^Choose this item to set-up your ARLAN parallel port adapter. 23 Serial card:^^Choose this item to set-up your ARLAN serial port adapter card. 24 PCMCIA card:^^Choose this item to set-up your ARLAN PCMCIA adapter card. 25 Hardware Settings:^^This submenu contains ARLAN device hardware parameters. Some network drivers need to have these values set to the same parameters as the ARLAN device. ARLANDGS does not use these settings except for PCMCIA devices.^ 26 System Parameters:^^This submenu consists of system parameters for ARLAN devices. These parameters set the network addresses, network identifiers, and ARLAN network settings. 27 Radio Parameters:^^This submenu contains general radio parameters that set the data rate and frequency. 28 Advanced Radio Parameters:^^This submenu contains advanced radio parameters. These parameters should be modified only by experienced users.^ 29 Reset to Factory Settings:^^This command restores all the configuration parameters currently loaded into memory to the factory settings. The device is not affected until it is re-configured. The configuration file on disk is not affected until it is saved. 30 Exit ARLANDGS:^^Return to DOS. 31 Set Power Level:^^Allows the radio power level to be set in the radio EEPROM. 255 Base Address:^^Used by PCMCIA devices and some device drivers to set the base address of internal ARLAN devices. 256 IRQ Level:^^Used by PCMCIA devices and some device drivers to set the interrupt level used by ARLAN devices. 257 Channel Set:^^Used to select the set of data rate/frequencies available to the ARLAN device. 258 Spreading Code:^^Used for test purposes only. Must be left as 0. 259 Channel Number:^^A number corresponding to a pre-configured Radio Channel with a specific data rate and frequency. 260 Data Rate:^^Selects the data rate used by the radio. 261 Frequency:^^Selects the frequency used by the radio. 262 Radio Node ID:^^Used to set the radio address of the ARLAN device. The 2-byte address specified here is used to build a 6-byte address of the format 02:40:96:00:xx:xx. NOTE: It is not necessary to set the Radio Node ID if the ARLAN device is equipped with an address PAL. i.e. An address of the form 00:40:96:xx:xx:xx is displays as the address on the main screen.^ 263 Scrambling:^^Enables or disables the scrambling function of the radio. NOTE: This parameter has no effect for A024/A025 radios. 264 Radio Type:^^Used to force a specific radio type. This parameter is for test purposes only. 265 Router ID:^^Used to set the router ID of PC-based router devices. The 2-byte address specified here is used to build a 6-byte address of the format 02:40:96:00:xx:xx. NOTE: It is not necessary to set the Router ID if the ARLAN device is equipped with an address PAL. 266 System ID:^^Used to keep different networks distinct and to add a measure of data security to your wireless network. Only ARLAN units operating on the same date rate and frequency and using the same System ID will communicate. The System ID must be an even number and must start with either 00 or 02.^ 267 Max. Datagram Size:^^Sets the maximum number of bytes allowed in received and transmitted datagrams. Since received datagrams are placed in a fixed size internal buffer, reducing the maximum size increases the number of received datagrams that can be buffered. Minimum recommended is 1600. The value 0 causes the maximum of 2048 to be used. 268 Maximum Frame Size:^^Sets the maximum number of bytes in a frame. 269 Maximum Retries:^^Sets the maximum number of times that the ARLAN devices will retransmit a packet without getting an acknowledgement from the destination ARLAN device. If an acknowledgement is not received before the maximum retry count is reached, then the packet transmission fails. In ARLAN and PSP registration modes. Minimum recommended setting is 4. The value 0 causes 16 retries to be used. 270 Specified Router:^^This 6-byte address will cause the ARLAN device to attempt to register to a router with this address. All other routers will be ignored even if their radio links would be better. If no router is heard from within the Specified Router Timeout time then the device will register with the best router it can hear. If left as 00:00:00:00:00:00, then the device will register to the best router that it can hear without first waiting for the Specified Router Timeout time. NOTE: This parameter applies only to the ARLAN and PSP registration mode.^ 271 Device Name:^^A 15-byte ASCII name describing the ARLAN device. This name will show up in the registration table of ARLAN access points. Choose Auto (F10) to generate an automatic name. 272 NID (Network Identifier):^^Used to set the 6-byte address of the ARLAN device. This field overrides the 2-byte address set in the Radio Node ID field. The address must be unique across the entire network. If left as 00:00:00:00:00:00, then the device will use a factory assigned globally administered address. 273 Receive Mode:^^Used to set the receive mode of the ARLAN device. Used for test purposes only. 274 Priority:^^Used to qualify the Radio MAC (Media Access Control) of the ARLAN device. The higher the priority the more likely this device will be first to sucessfully transmit a packet when multiple ARLAN devices are trying to transmit at the same time. The percentage of devices that use a setting other than NORMAL should be kept small - 10 percent or less. 275 Mode (Root/Repeater):^^Used to set the mode on an ARLAN router device. Root units will allow registrations but will not register to anything themselves. If the root unit has a backbone connection then use ROOT/BACKBONE, otherwise use ROOT/NO BACKBONE. If the router is to be used to extend the range of the network then choose REPEATER. 276 Fast Poll Period:^^Sets the time that the device will wait to poll the router for waiting data once a non-empty data frame is either received or transmitted. This time must be less than the Poll Period to have an effect. The units of this parameter are 0.001 seconds. The value 0 causes a time of 0.125 seconds to be used. Only used in PSP registration mode. 277 Fast Poll Decay:^^Controls how fast polling slows down after a non-empty data packet is either received or transmitted. It sets the number of polls that are sent before the Poll Rate Backoff is doubled. The Poll Rate Backoff will not increase beyond the Poll Period. The value 0 causes a decay of 2 to be used. Only used in PSP registration mode. 278 Fast Poll Delay:^^Specifies the time before the Fast Poll Period takes effect after the transmission of a data packet. Useful in transaction based environments were the host takes some minimum time to generate a response. Only used in PSP registration mode. 279 ARL Threshold:^^Sets the ARL (Average Retry Level) Threshold. When the Cummulative ARL Level reaches the Threshold, the ARLAN device will attempt to find a better router to register to. The value 0 causes a threshold of 8 to be used. The value 255 (FFH) causes an infinite threshold to be used. See the ARL Decay parameter. 280 ARL Decay:^^Sets the ARL (Average Retry Level) Decay. After each successful transmission, the Cummulative ARL Level is increased by the number of retries that occurred and then decreased by this Decay. The value 0 causes a decay of 1 to be used. See the ARL Threshold parameter. 281 Specified Router Time:^^Sets the time-out after which the ARLAN device gives up trying to register to the specified router and tries to register to the best router that it can hear. The units of this parameter are 0.1 seconds. The value 65535 (FFFFH) causes an infinite time to be used thus forcing the device to register to the specified router and only that router. Only used if Specified Router parameter is set. 282 Wait Time:^^Sets the wait time used for the radio Acknowledgement turnaround. The units of this parameter are 0.000001 seconds (1us). The value 0 causes the standard time to be used. This parameter should be left as 0 in order for this device to communicate properly with other ARLAN devices. 283 L Parameter:^^Sets the L-parameter in the MAC (Media Access Control) random wait equation. The units of this parameter are 0.000001 seconds (1us). The value 0 causes the standard time to be used. This parameter should be left as 0 in order for this device to communicate properly with other ARLAN devices. 284 Header Size:^^Specifies the length of the radio header precedding each packet. The header allows the receiving radio to synchronize with the sending radio. The units of this parameter are 0.000001 seconds (1us). The value 0 causes the standard time to be used. This parameter should be left as 0 in order for this device to communicate properly with other ARLAN devices. 285 Registration Mode:^^Indicates whether the ARLAN device is to use ARLAN mode and register to a router or is to use peer-to-peer mode. 286 Poll Period:^^Sets the time that the device will wait to poll the router for waiting data if no other transmissions have occurred. The units of this parameter are 0.001 seconds. The value 0 causes a time of 2.000 seconds to be used. Only used in PSP registration mode. 287 Refresh Preiod:^^Sets the time that the device will wait to refresh its registration if no other transmission has occurred. The units of this parameter are 0.01 seconds. The value 0 causes a time of 60 seconds to be used, while a value of 65535 (FFFFH) causes an infinite time to be used thus disabling refresh. This parameter applies only to the ARLAN (non-PSP) registration mode. 288 LocalTalk Node ID:^^Used to administer a LocalTalk address to ARLAN router devices with a LocalTalk connection. Addresses from 1-7F are valid. If no address is specified the device will dynamically allocate the address. FFH specifies to use ARLANtalk1 instead of ARLANtalk2. 289 Registration Fill:^^Specifies whether FIND_ROUTER packets transmitted during the registration process have a 1500-byte filler or not. This filler is used to ensure only routers with a good radio link to this device will be considered in the registration process. 290 Save Flag:^^Specifies whether or not the ARLAN device should save the configuration parameters to non-volatile memory after a configuration operation is performed. 291 Edit Color Scheme:^^This command allows you to change the colors of the ARLANDGS screen elements. These settings can be made permanent by saving the color scheme to disk. 292 FILE MENU:^^Allows configuration files in the file system to be loaded and saved. 293 Non-ARLAN Registration Mode:^^Selects peer-to-peer mode of operation. While in this mode, the ARLAN device can communicate only with ARLAN devices that are also in peer-to-peer mode. A router is not required since the devices communicate directly to each other. It cannot communicate with devices that are using ARLAN, including routers and repeaters. 294 ARLAN Registration Mode:^^Selects ARLAN mode of operation. The ARLAN device registers to the nearest router and all packets are sent to and from the router. ARLAN provides microcell roaming and repeaters. 295 ARLAN w/PSP Registration Mode:^^Selects ARLAN with PSP (Power Saving Protocol) mode of operation. This mode is only of benefit to ARLAN devices using battery power. PSP conserves battery power at the cost of decreased throughput by periodically turning off the radio. The ARLAN device registers to the nearest router and all packets are sent to and from the router. ARLAN provides microcell roaming and repeaters. 296 ARLAN Parameters:^^This menu contains several ARLAN configuration parameters for the ARLAN device. These parameters affect how the device registers and when it should try to find a new router. These parameters apply only to the ARLAN and PSP registration modes. They should be modified only by experienced users. 297 PSP Parameters:^^This menu contains several PSP configuration parameters for the ARLAN device. These parameters affect how PSP (Power Saving Protocol) works. They affect throughput, response time, and battery conservation. These parameters apply only to the PSP registration mode. They should be modified only by experienced users. 298 DDP Parameters:^^This menu contains several DDP configuration parameters for the ARLAN device. These parameters affect how DDP (Datagram Delivery Protocol) works. They affect maximum retries and maximum datagram size. These parameters apply to all registration modes. They should be modified only by experienced users. 299 MAC Parameters:^^This menu contains several MAC configuration parameters for the ARLAN device. These parameters affect how MAC (Media Access Control) works. These parameters apply to all registration modes. They are for test purposes only and should not be modified. 300 Desktop Text:^^Edits the color of the text appearing on the desktop (background). 301 Desktop Background:^^Edits the color of the desktop (background). 302 Window Text:^^Edits the color of the text used in odd level windows. 303 Alternate Window Text:^^Edits the color of the text used in even level windows. 304 Window Border:^^Edits the color of the line defining the border of odd level windows. 305 Alternate Window Border:^^Edits the color of the line defining the border of even level windows. 306 Window Background:^^Edits the color of the background of odd level windows. 307 Alternate Window Background:^^Edits the color of the background og even level windows. 308 Highlight Bar Foreground:^^Edits the color of the menu highlight bar text. 309 Alternate Highlight Bar Foreground:^^Edits the color of the menu highlight bar text used for data fields. 310 Highlight Bar Background:^^Edits the color of the menu highlight bar background. 311 Error Window Text:^^Edits the color of the text used in an error window. 312 Error Window Border:^^Edits the color of the border in an error window. 313 Error Window Background:^^Edits the color of the window background. 314 Input Box Text:^^Edits the color of the text in input boxes. 315 Input Box Background:^^Edits the color of the backgound of input boxes. 316 SAVE COLOR SCHEME:^^This command makes the current color scheme permanent by saving the color settings to the file ARLANDGS.COL.
