Commands

You may need to use CAM commands to perform certain functions.
Since the Ethernet port on the access points supports data rates
significantly higher than the radio ports, all frames cannot be forwarded
form the Ethernet network to the radios. CAM, which is controlled by the
Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), filters frames based on the
radio’s capability.

Because the commands can cause undesirable results if not properly
executed, you should contact Allied Telesyn Technical Support for
assistance if you are unsure about the proper procedure to use.
