Before using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager, be sure you understand the
principles of configuration file management discussed below.

When you click on the BSU or subscriber Indoor Unit (CPE) icon on the WaveCenter
Configuration Manager home screen, a new (“blank”) configuration file is opened
with the default parameters. You can then load an existing file by selecting  File —
Open from the menu bar, or the file open icon on the toolbar. The Configuration Man-
ager will let you browse for the desired file.

NOTE:  Some screens have a new instance icon on the right side. This icon does not
cause a new configuration file to be opened; rather, it causes a new instance to be
opened, and is displayed only on pages which can be configured multiple times for
multiple instances (such as multiple SNMP managers; see Figure6-2).

There are two methods for saving configuration files, as identified in  Table6-A:

• Selecting File — Save as  from the page menu line. The Configuration Manager

will prompt for a file name.

• Clicking on the  Generate BSC Config or Generate Configuration File (CPE)

button. The Configuration Manager will prompt with the suggested file name
in the format  bsc_<MACaddress>.cfg or  cpe_<MACaddress>.cfg, using the
MAC address entered during configuration. See the discussion of file names
below.

NOTE:  Some screens have a page save icon on the right side. This icon does not
cause the configuration file to be saved; rather, it causes the current instance to be
added to the configuration file which is being created or modified. The page save
icon is displayed only on pages which can be configured multiple times for multiple
instances (such as multiple SNMP managers; see Figure6-2).

Configuration files are required to have unique names so that each BSU and sub-
scriber Indoor Unit can download the correct configuration file from the TFTP server.
Table6-B identifies the naming convention suggested by Aperto, which uses MAC
addresses to guarantee uniqueness. These are the default names used when you click
on the 

 or 

 button, as described above.

While the naming convention identified in  Table 6-B  is recommended, it is not
required. You can use any other format you wish, as long as the names are unique.
