Abstract
WIFI management interfaces for microwave radio and reset to factory defaults are provided herein. Methods may include transmitting or receiving, on a dedicated management interface antenna of the wireless radio management signals, signals in a dedicated band for controlling operations of the wireless radio, and transmitting or receiving, on at least one additional antenna of the wireless radio management signals, signals that are not used for controlling operations of the wireless radio. The dedicated management interface antenna and the at least one additional antenna being physically separated from one another.
Claims15
A wireless radio, comprising:
- at least one antenna for transmitting or receiving signals, the at least one antenna using a first interface;
- and
- a dedicated management interface antenna providing a wireless interface that is used to manage and configured the wireless radio, wherein the dedicated management interface antenna receives reconfiguration instructions for the wireless radio, the wireless radio being configured to be reconfigured in accordance with the reconfiguration instructions.
A method for controlling a wireless radio, the wireless radio comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory for storing executable instructions, the processor executing the instructions to perform the method, comprising:
- transmitting or receiving, on a dedicated management interface antenna of wireless radio management signals, signals in a dedicated band for controlling operations of the wireless radio;
- transmitting or receiving, on at least one additional antenna of the wireless radio management signals, signals that are not used for controlling operations of the wireless radio, wherein the dedicated management interface antenna and the at least one additional antenna are physically separated from one another;
- receiving a reset signal from a technician;
- and
- power cycling the wireless radio after receiving the reset signal.
A method for controlling a wireless radio, the wireless radio comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory for storing executable instructions, the processor executing the instructions to perform the method, comprising:
- transmitting or receiving, on a dedicated management interface antenna of wireless radio management signals, signals in a dedicated band for controlling operations of the wireless radio, wherein the signals for controlling operations of the wireless radio comprise a service set identifier (SSID);
- and
- transmitting or receiving, on at least one additional antenna of the wireless radio management signals, signals that are not used for controlling operations of the wireless radio, wherein the dedicated management interface antenna and the at least one additional antenna are physically separated from one another.
A method for controlling a wireless radio, the wireless radio comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory for storing executable instructions, the processor executing the instructions to perform the method, comprising:
- transmitting or receiving, on a dedicated management interface antenna of wireless radio management signals, signals in a dedicated band for controlling operations of the wireless radio;
- receiving a unique device identifier from a client that is coupled to the wireless radio on the dedicated band;
- and
- transmitting or receiving, on at least one additional antenna of the wireless radio management signals, signals that are not used for controlling operations of the wireless radio, wherein the dedicated management interface antenna and the at least one additional antenna are physically separated from one another.
A method for controlling a wireless radio, the wireless radio comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory for storing executable instructions, the processor executing the instructions to perform the method, comprising:
- transmitting or receiving, on a dedicated management interface antenna of wireless radio management signals, signals in a dedicated band for controlling operations of the wireless radio, wherein signals for controlling operations of the wireless radio comprise a management user interface (UI) that is transmitted to a client;
- and
- transmitting or receiving, on at least one additional antenna of the wireless radio management signals, signals that are not used for controlling operations of the wireless radio, wherein the dedicated management interface antenna and the at least one additional antenna are physically separated from one another.
