ARSETUP(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		    ARSETUP(8)

NAME
     Arsetup - configure Aironet Wireless Communications Inc radio network
     cards

SYNOPSIS
     arsetup [-c channel-number] [-C channel-set] [-m registration-mode] [-n
	     node-id] [-R root/repeater] [-r router-id] [-s system-id] [-u
	     unit]

DESCRIPTION
     The Arlan family of communication interfaces require configuration infor-
     mation that would be difficult to built into the kernel device driver
     (see ar(4)).  The arsetup utility does this setup and must be run before
     ifconfig(8) is used to assign an IP address and bring the interface up.
     The determination of the correct flags and arguments to configure an in-
     terface are beyond the scope of this document.  The appropriate Arlan
     documents should be consulted.

     The following options are available:

     -c channel-number
	     The 1-byte channel number field.

     -C channel-set
	     The 1-byte channel set field.

     -m registration-mode
	     This option and argument specify TMA registration.	 The argument
	     should be either 0 or 1; a value of 0 specifies no registration,
	     and a value of 1 specifies normal registration.

     -n node-id
	     This is a 6-byte field which will set the hardware address of the
	     board.  On some boards this is available in the PROM and need not
	     be specified.  The least significant bit of this value may not be
	     set.  When a new value is specified for this field it will not
	     take effect until ifconfig(8) has been used to set the IP ad-
	     dress.

     -r router-id
	     The 2-byte router ID field.

     -R root/repeater
	     This options and argument specify if a router card is the root or
	     a repeater.  The argument should be either 0 or 1; a value of 0
	     specifies that this card is the root, and a value of 1 specifies
	     that this card is a repeater.

     -s system-id
	     The 4-byte system ID field.

     -u unit
	     The unit number of the ar(4) interface being configured.  The
	     number is zero based and corresponds to the value shown by
	     netstat(1).

     The arguments for the -c, -C, -n, -r and -s options may be specified in
     decimal (the default), hexadecimal (using a leading ``0x''), or octal
     (using a leading ``0'').

     If no options are specified, or only the -u option is specified, then the
     current values stored in the hardware will be displayed.  If no options
     are specified, the default unit is unit 0.

EXAMPLES
     Below is an example of the lines added to /etc/netstart on two different
     machines to bring up the interfaces and have them communicate.  While
     these examples work, the values may not be the best or even particularly
     good.

     #first machine
     /usr/sbin/arsetup -n 0x10 -s 0x2000004 -r 10 -m 1 -c 11 -C1
     ifconfig ar0 192.168.0.1

     #second machine
     /usr/sbin/arsetup -n 0xa -r 0xa -m 1 -c 11 -C 1 -R 0 -s 0x2000004
     ifconfig ar0 192.168.0.2
