RADWIN 5000 Overview Introduction 1.3 RADWIN 5000 Overview 1.3.1 Sector The RADWIN 5000 system consists of a “sector” that includes a base station, and at least one subscriber unit. The subscriber units are installed and work opposite the base stations. Figure 1‐1: A RADWIN 5000 Sector 1.3.2 Base Station There are two types of base stations, both of which are High Capacity Base Stations (HBS): • Large Form Factor (LFF) ‐ With an integrated or external antenna • Beamforming (JET) ‐ With an integrated antenna 1.3.3 Subscriber Unit There are two types of RADWIN 5000 subscriber units: High Capacity Subscriber Unit (HSU) An HSU can have one of the following resource allocations: • CIR ‐ Committed Information Rate: receives a guaranteed percentage of resources • BE ‐ Best Effort: receives resources according to availability In addition, an HSU can have one of the following form factors: • Large Form Factor (LFF) ‐ Its external appearance is similar to a Large Form Factor HBS, and can have an integrated or external antenna. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 1‐2...
Page 9: Method Of Work
Method of Work Introduction • Small Form Factor (SFF) ‐ As its name implies, this unit is smaller than an LFF unit, but can also have an integrated or external antenna. SU PRO/AIR • SU PRO ‐ Can operate using the CIR or BE resource type • SU AIR ‐ Operates using the BE resource type only. • Uses a smaller form‐factor than that of the HBS or HSU. • Can use an integrated antenna, the Turbo Gain antenna or a separate, non‐inte‐ grated, external antenna. 1.3.4 Method of Work Both the base stations and the subscriber units communicate respectively, with the service provider and users through PoE devices. The communication protocol for both the service provider and the users is Ethernet. 1.3.5 Sector Management Tools WINTouch WINTouch is a mobile application that guides you in installing and aligning SU PRO/AIR devices, as well as base stations that work with them. RADWIN Web Interface The Web Interface enables you to carry out basic unit and/or sector management functions using a Web browser. It is an easy way to rapidly configure and setup a link. It may be used to ‐ • Set or change basic radio unit parameters in the field • Establish a sector on a minimal basis • Check link parameters and make basic changes • View the link Inventory • Inspect the Recent Events logs RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 1‐3...

There are three user types: • An Observer has read‐only access to the sector. An Observer can monitor the sector, generate reports, but may not change any sector parameters. • An Operator can install and configure the sector. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 2‐4...
Page 16 The RADWIN Manager Log‐on Concept RADWIN Manager Overview • An Installer can, in addition to functioning as an Operator, also change the operating frequency band (or regulation). The latter function has legal ramifications, requiring familiarity with local regulations. To set the SNMP version, use the Settings button in Figure 2‐4. A log‐on extension window opens: Figure 2‐6: Log on window showing SNMP settings. • You may choose the SNMP version, but this is not required. SNMPv1 is the default (but this can be changed, (see Protocol on page 4‐12). If your firewall blocks SNMPv3 messages and for security reasons cannot be changed, use SNMPv1. • If you are using Trap Authentication, enter the User and Password. The allocation and association of a trap address with a user is described in Chapter 4. • If you are connecting through the RNMS server check the RNMS connect button and enter your server IP address.

Choose a longer sampling interval if you intend to store this information for a lengthy duration. For the HBS, this file shows details for the HBS itself and all registered HSUs. Use distinctive file names for HBS and HSU Monitor files. The content of the Monitor file is discussed in more detail in Chapter 7. The Generate KMZ button is not in use. The Show IP item is useful if you are using both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The choice of compressed addresses will drop leading zeros and use the :: notation where appropriate. For example, the expanded address, FE80:0000:0000:0000:5AFE:00AA:20A2 compresses to Fe80::5AFE:AA:20A2. Switching the Show IP and Address Format items result in immediate display updating without the ned to press OK or Apply. 2.9.2 Events Here you may choose your own color coding for the Recent Event display (see Monitoring and Diagnostics).

Page 47: Chapter 3: Installing A Sector
Chapter 3: Installing a Sector 3.1 Scope of this Chapter Sector installation has two phases: • Configuring and activating the HBS • Bringing up the HSUs ‐ configuration and registration The same RADWIN Manager program is used for both the HBS and the HSUs, but not for the SU PRO/AIR. See Chapter 5, SU PRO/AIR Configuration for instructions on configuring the SU PRO/AIR. Much of the process is common to both types of ODU. We will cover the HBS in detail; for the HSUs we will concentrate on those items which are different. This chapter covers fixed and nomadic HSU configurations. Mobile HSUs are covered in Chapter 2. 3.2 Concepts A HBS out of the box, must be configured with: • Basic RF parameters such as frequency band, channel bandwidths and Sector ID • Networking parameters such as IP address, subnet mask and default gateway Inactive As soon as the unit is connected to voltage, it is in an inactive state, powered up, configurable but not transmitting anything. Activation Upon activation, the HBS will commence transmitting and receiving packets related to sector management only, but no data relating to service. Activation and Deactivation are effected quite simply by clicking a toggle button. Discovery Assuming that the Sector HSUs are mounted aligned and powered up, the HSUs will discover the HBS establishing links for management only. At this point the HSUs may be managed over the air. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 3‐1...
Page 48: Working With Nomadic Hsus
Although you configure an SU PRO/AIR from its Web Interface, you must register it using the RADWIN Manager. Resource Type During the registration process, you determine the resource type for each HSU . This can be Best Effort (BE), where traffic is passed according to available bandwidth, or Committed Information Rate (CIR), where a guaranteed bandwidth is allotted to the HSU. For each registered HSU, you can set separately, the uplink and downlink Maximum Information Rate (MIR) in Mbps or leave it as Unlimited. Connection You may also manage an HSU Connection table to enable and disable Table connectivity between HSUs in a sector. Nomadic HSUs may be fixed or nomadic. The latter may be move around within and across sectors. Disable To disable an HSU you must deregister it. (A suspend mechanism is also available, to suspend service on an HSU for a limited period.) a. Unless the HSU is an SU Air model, which can only use BE resource type. 3.3 Working with Nomadic HSUs Each nomadic HSU is allocated to one of four HBS levels labelled A, B, C and D. Some operating parameters for each level (such as VLAN, MIR, QoS, resources, fixed rate, Spatial Multiplexing/Diversity antenna mode) can be different for each level allowing for broad prioritization of service between different types of nomadic units. This requires that each nomadic HSU be assigned a level to join a sector. A nomadic HSU may only send and receive service traffic while stationary. A nomadic HSU detects that it is time to seek the another HBS upon sync loss. Upon entering and stopping in a new sector, it may take several seconds to establish sync with the sector HBS. Changing any of VLAN, MIR, QoS, fixed rate, Spatial Multiplexing/Diversity antenna mode for one configured HSU at a given level, changes all other HSUs at that level. If you add a new HSU to a sector (by direct connection) at a given level, at sync time, it will acquire the existing parameters for that level. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 3‐2...

All fields are mandatory. If you are working with the JET beam‐forming antenna, a message noting that you are working with a “smart antenna” will appear on this screen (as shown above). About the Sector ID: RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 3‐5...
Page 52 Activating an HBS Installing a Sector Any unregistered HSU will establish a link with the first HBS it detects and inherit the Sector ID from the HBS. As soon as the HSU is registered for service with the HBS, the HSU’s inherited Sector ID can no longer be changed while linked: It is “locked” into the HBS. This mechanism prevents an HSU close to a sector boundary from “drifting” between HBSs for adjacent sectors. Notice that the Sector ID is split into two parts as shown in the previous figure. For a network consisting of sectors with fixed HSUs only, the split is immaterial. If the sec‐ tor is part of a network having non‐fixed HSUs, then each Sector ID for each partici‐ pating sector should have the same four character Network ID. The remaining part is ignored when an HBS establishes a link with a non‐fixed HSU. This feature enables non‐fixed HSUs to establish a link with any HBS in the network. The Sector ID is split into a four character Network ID (EBGX) and the remaining part (20561334). For fixed HSUs you may ignore the split. For non‐fixed HSUs, the use of the split Sec‐ tor ID is explained on page 6‐4. Choose your Sector ID it carefully particularly if you are using collocated HBSs for extra coverage. The Sector Name and Location are convenience items but should be chosen to ensure that the sector is documented and easily identifiable in your RF planning.

If you are using Local Connection, log out and log back in to the HBS on its IP address. At this point, you are able to configure the HSUs for service. You may have observed that operating frequency 5.735 GHz shown, is not what we chose (5.820 GHz). The HBS tries to optimize the frequency to minimize interference effects. We next configure and register the HSUs. For fixed HSUs you can do this in either order. For nomadic HSUs you must define the HSU as Nomadic prior to registration. We will show the method below. Our preference is to carry out configuration first for all HSUs. 3.7 Configuring a fixed HSU From the HBS The HSU activities described in this section, may be carried out any time ‐ regardless of whether or not the HSU is registered for service or not.

If you are registering an SU AIR, the Resource Type can only be BE (Best Effort). Skip to Step 6. 5. Select the Resource Type for the HSU. This can be CIR (Committed Information Rate), or BE (Best Effort): • BE grants the HSU resources as they become available in the sector. • CIR grants the HSU with a certain guaranteed percentage of resources of those already allocated to CIR traffic in the sector (see Air Interface on page 4‐3). You set this percentage in the MIR window. 6. Check a MIMO Mode for this HSU: • Spatial Multiplexing (default) splits the data in to two streams on transmis‐ sion and recombines it on reception providing maximum throughput. This provides a higher throughput. • Diversity transmits the same data on from both antennas and check for correctness on reception. This mode helps to ensure more reliable data transmission in a noisy environment, although throughput will be lower. • Auto Selection instructs the system to choose whichever mode is most effi‐ cient. 1. For more on MIMO antenna modes, see Appendix C. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 3‐23...

In a few moments, the HSU will be registered, and look somewhat like this: The Peak Throughput (T‐put) shows whatever throughput value the system was able to achieve for the HSU, in both directions. Note the color is light blue, showing that the throughput is not guaranteed, but on a Best Effort basis. This completes the reg‐ istration process for a BE unit. 8. If you chose the CIR resource type in Step 5. above, click the Evaluate button. Service evaluation takes a few seconds during which the window is darkened and inactive. Figure 3‐4: HSU Registration dialog Notice that the Evaluating activity icon continues to rotate after completion of the evaluation. The Manager maintains dynamic monitoring of the sector for injection into the sector of HSUs elsewhere and accordingly reduces the available resources. 9.

Deregistering an HSU Installing a Sector 3.12 Deregistering an HSU A HSU may be deregistered by using the Deregister entry in an HSU context menu or using the button from an HSU button bar. If RADIUS is enabled, its register status definition will take precedence (see the RegisterAvailability parameter in the users file), unless you enable Install Confirmation Required. 3.13 Where has my HSU gone? Suppose that you installed two collocated HBSs with contiguous sectors. It is possible that an HSU located close to the common sector boundary may “discover” the wrong HBS. A HSU can be “forced” across to another HBS by changing its Sector ID to that of the required HBS. The method for doing this is covered in Chapter 6. 3.14 Saving the HBS Settings for Reuse as a Template Refer to Figure 3‐6 of which the following is an excerpt: Following any further fine tuning, open up the HBS Nomadic tab, and click Save. You are offered the standard Save File dialog. Save the HBS Nomadic settings file (MobilitySettings.mob) to a convenient location.

Chapter 4: Managing the Sector 4.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter deals with managing the sector from the HBS. It covers HBS Configuration and HSU Configuration from the HBS. HSU direct or over‐the‐air configuration is a little different and is covered in Chapter 6. 4.2 Configuring an HBS 4.2.1 Configuration Menu Buttons Open the Configuration window. The Backup and Restore buttons provide for backup and restore of the HBS software, and sector configuration. For details on working with these, see Chapter 8, Backup, Restore, and Upgrade. The Refresh button restores the current window to its previous state abandoning any changes you made, provided that you did not click Apply or OK. We will work through each of the Configuration tabs in turn with emphasis on tabs or features not encountered in the previous chapters. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 4‐1...

Air Interface Managing the Sector 4.2.3 Air Interface Sector ID: Set the Sector ID here. The value will “percolate” to all registered HSUs. It will of course, be “picked up” by newly installed and registered HSUs. Operating Channel: You can change the operating channel (only to those channels for which there is hardware support) if Automatic Channel Selection is not enabled. In order for the new channel to take effect you much deactivate then reactivate the HBS. Channel Bandwidth: You can choose the channel bandwidth even if Automatic Channel Selection is enabled. The changes will be sector‐wide, and affect which RSS Threshold power levels are available. Automatic Channel Selection: Allows you to system to choose the channel automatically. We recommend you do this only at configuration time. WiMax Coexistence Parameters: This option (not shown here) allows you to configure the HBS so that neighboring WiMax equipment will not interfere. It is only applicable for RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 4‐3...
Page 82 Mode: Select Disabled, Static, or Dynamic from the pull‐down menu. • Disabled: Disables the ATPC option • Static: Instructs the HBS to find an optimal transmit power value. The HBS then locks on to this power value and does not change it until this configu‐ ration option is changed, or until the unit is reset. • Dynamic: Instructs the HBS to find an optimal transmit power value. The HBS will change this power value from time to time when needed. RSS Threshold: The HBS instructs each HSU to set its transmit power so that the HBS will receive the power level indicated here. The specific power levels depend on the radio plan, but are also influenced by your choice of Channel Bandwidth. The ATPC triangle in the HSU card will turn green, red or yellow (see Table View on page 2‐8) in accordance with the status of this mode. ATPC Status can be added to the List View in the Main Window (see List View on page 2‐12). Resource Allocation: If the sector you are working with has a combination of CIR and Best Effort HSUs, this option allows you to set what percentage of the sector resources are allocated to CIR units and what percentage are allocated to BE units. • If you have only BE units, check the Best Effort only box. This is like setting CIR/Best Effort Ratio to 0.0%/100.0%. If you have at least one CIR unit, this box is disabled. • If you have only CIR units, move the slider to the far right, and get 100% for CIR. This is the most efficient use of resources for a sector with only CIR units. You can set this before any fixed HSUs are registered, and if you choose 100% of one kind or another, you will be limited when registering the HSUs to that resource type. When you register a specific HSU, you choose what percentage of the specific resource type (CIR or BE) to allocate to this HSU (see figure 3‐4, HSU Registration dialog).

Page 83: Tx And Antenna
Tx and Antenna Managing the Sector Advanced: This option provides two functions: Throughput Mode: This determines how the Adaptive Modulation mechanism works. Maximum Throughput (default) should be chosen if throughput is more important than higher delay (If configuring a sector for FCC UCBP, see Chapter B, Operating Under the FCC Unrestricted Contention Based Protocol for further instructions). Optimized Latency minimizes delay at the expense of lower throughput. Backwards Compatibility Discovery: This allows HSUs with firmware older than Release 4.6 (those without the percentage‐based DBA mechanism) to discover HBSs with Release 4.6 or above. To work properly, the firmware of the HSU must be upgraded to firmware that is compatible with that of the HBS. This upgrade can be carried out either via local connection or over‐the‐air. See Chapter 8, Backup, Restore, and Upgrade. 4.2.4 Tx and Antenna This tab is available for both the HBS and HSUs. It has the same meaning in both cases. If you are working with an external antenna, the parameters indicated can be changed; if you are working with an integrated antenna, only the Required Tx Power can be changed.

Page 89 Management Managing the Sector 4. Click OK to save your choice. Note that for each active trap destination, the Clear Trap Destination button is enabled: VLAN for Management VLAN Management enables separation of user traffic from management traffic whenever such separation is required. It is recommended that each member of a sector be configured with different VLAN IDs for management traffic. (This reduces your chances of accidentally locking yourself out of the sector.) VLAN IDs are used by RADWIN products in three separate contexts: Management VLAN, Traffic VLAN and Ethernet Ring. It is recommended that you use different VLAN IDs for each context.  To enable VLAN for management: Figure 4‐1: VLAN for Management 1. In the window of Figure 4‐1, check the Enabled box. 2. Enter a VLAN ID. Its value should be between 2 and 4094. After entering the VLAN ID, only packets with the specified VLAN ID are processed for management purposes by the HBS/HSU ODU. This includes all the protocols sup‐ ported by the ODU (ICMP, SNMP, Telnet and NTP). Using VLAN for management traf‐ fic affects all types of management connections (local, network and over the air). 3. Enter a Priority number between 0 and 7.

Lost or forgotten VLAN ID If the VLAN ID is forgotten or there is no VLAN traffic connected to the ODU, then reset the relevant ODU. During the first two minutes of connection, the ODU uses management packets both with and without VLAN. You may use this period to reconfigure the VLAN ID and priority. Protocol Supported protocols are shown in Figure 4‐2: Figure 4‐2: Supported protocols SNMP support is permanently enabled. You may choose between SNMPv1, SNMPv3 or both. If you choose SNMPv3, you will be offered the following cautionary message: For a sector managed as part of a network, direct access to a HBS/HSU using Telnet is considered to be a security breach. Telnet access may be enabled or disabled by clicking the Protocol tab and enabling/disabling Telnet access using the Telnet check‐box. Similar considerations apply to access via the Web Interface. • For further details about Telnet access see page 4‐73. • For further details about the Web Interface, see Chapter 13. Telnet and Web Interface access modes when available, are site specific. If for example, you want Telnet access from specific sector members, you should enable it for these sites and disable it elsewhere. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 4‐12...
Page 91 Management Managing the Sector Conversely, If the Telnet or Web Interface access modes pose a general security risk, you must disable them for each sector member separately. Multiuser Support under SNMPv3 If you chose SNMPv3 or both versions, you are asked to log on again (see Chapter 2, The RADWIN Manager Log‐on Concept): For the first log‐on under SNMPv3, use username admin, and password admin as well.

Page 102 • Restoring Factory Defaults returns the Link Password to wireless‐ p2mp. RADWIN Manager Community Strings In this section, “ODU” may be either an HBS or an HSU. The ODU communicates with the RADWIN Manager using the SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 protocol. The SNMPv1 protocol defines three types of communities: • Read‐Only for retrieving information from the ODU • Read‐Write to configure and control the ODU • Trap used by the ODU to issue traps. The Community string must be entered at log on. You must know the password and the correct Community string to gain access to the system. You may have read‐only privileges. It is not possible to manage the ODU if the read‐write or the read Community values are forgotten. A new Community value may be obtained from RADWIN Customer Service for the purpose of setting new Community. You must also have available the serial number or the MAC address of the ODU. The read‐write Community strings and read‐only Community strings have a minimum of five alphanumeric characters. (bru1 and bru4097 are not permitted). Changing the trap Community is optional and is done by clicking the check box. Editing SNMPv1 Community Strings When editing these strings, both read‐write and read‐only communities must be defined. Upon logging on for the first time, use the following as the current Community: • For Read‐Write Community, use netman. • For Read‐Only Community, use public. • For Trap Community, use public  To change a Community string: 1. Type the current read‐write Community (default is netman). 2. Choose the communities to be changed by clicking the check box. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 4‐24...

Figure 4‐10: Changing the Community Strings/Passwords Forgotten SNMPv1 Community String If the read‐write Community string is unknown, an alternative Community key can be used. The alternative Community key is unique per ODU and can be used only to change the Community strings. The alternative Community key is supplied with the product, and should be kept in a safe place. If both the read‐write Community and the alternative Community key are unavailable, then an alternative Community key can be obtained from RADWIN Customer Service using the ODU serial number or MAC address. The serial number is located on the product label. The serial number and the MAC address are displayed in the Site Configuration inventory tab. When you have the alternative Community key, click the Forgot Community button and enter the Alternative Community key (Figure 4‐11). Then change the read‐write Community string.

Note the following when using the enhanced security mode: • The SNMP management interface must be SNMPv3: Use the Management tab, Protocol pull‐down menu (see page 4‐12 ) • If configuring an HSU for SNMPv3, its HBS must also be configured for SNMPv3. • The Local Connection feature is disabled (as it is based on SNMPv1) • Alternative Community/Password is disabled • Link Password is disabled • VLAN recovery is disabled 4.2.9 Date and Time Setting the Date and Time The ODU maintains a date and time. The date and time should be synchronized with any Network Time Protocol (NTP) version 3 compatible server. During power‐up the ODU attempts to configure the initial date and time using an NTP Server. If the server IP address is not configured or is not reachable, a default time is set. When configuring the NTP Server IP address, you should also configure the offset from the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). If there is no server available, you can either set the date and time, or you can set it to use the date and time from the managing computer. Note that manual setting is not recommended since it will be overridden by a reset, power up, or synchronization with an NTP Server. The NTP uses UDP port 123. If a fire wall is configured between the ODU and the NTP Server this port must be opened. It can take up to 8 minutes for the NTP to synchronize the ODU date and time.  To set the date and time: 1. Determine the IP address of the NTP server to be used. 2. Test it for connectivity using the command (Windows XP and 7), for example: RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 4‐28...

Page 110 Ethernet Managing the Sector Ethernet Ports Configuration The ODU Ethernet port mode is configurable for line speed (10/100/1000BaseT) and duplex mode (half or full duplex). Line speed 1000BaseT is only available if the HBS is connected to A GbE PoE device. An Auto Detect feature is provided, whereby the line speed and duplex mode are detected automatically using auto‐negotiation. Use manual configuration when attached external equipment does not support auto‐negotiation. The default setting is Auto Detect. The icon next to the CRC error count may be clicked to reset the counter to zero. Do not reconfigure the port that is used for the managing computer connection, since a wrong configuration can cause a management disconnection or Ethernet services interruption.  To configure the Ethernet Mode: • In the Ethernet Ports Configuration pane, use the drop‐down menu to choose the required mode. Transmission Ratio The Transmission Ratio (Tx Ratio, Asymmetric Allocation) shows the allocation of throughput between downlink and uplink traffic at the HBS. The Transmission Ratio is not only sector‐ wide: If you use Hub Site Synchronization to collocate several HBSs (to cover adjacent sectors), they must all use the same Transmission Ratio. Figure 4‐17: HBS Collocated client or independent unit If it is an HSS master, you will see something like this: RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 4‐32...
Page 111 Ethernet Managing the Sector Figure 4‐18: HBS Collocated master Moving the slider to the right yields the following: The allowable range is from 50/50 % to 75/25 %. Setting values beyond this range will cause unpredictable results. You must ensure that the range remains within allowable values. There is no fail‐ safe. The effective available range for Asymmetric allocation is determined by channel bandwidth as shown as well as link distance. In this context, “link” is any collocated RADWIN HBS, not necessarily a RADWIN 5000 HBS. QoS Configuration To use the Ethernet QoS feature, see Chapter 10 (includes VoIP configuration). Advanced Broadcast/Multicast Flooding Protection: Broadcast/Multicast Flooding Protection provides a measure of protection by limiting multicast and broadcast packets to no more than 12.5% of available capacity.

Page 112: Nomadic
Nomadic Managing the Sector DHCP Relay Agent (Option 82): Allows a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay agent (in this case the HBS) to insert specific information to a DHCP request, and forward the information together with the request to a DHCP server. This capability allows the residential operator (which has the DHCP server) to distinguish which DHCP IP request came from which HSU. With that information, the residential operator can set rules regarding IP address and resource allocation. For example, if there are too many IP requests coming from one HSU, it is possible to limit the IP addresses allocated to that equipment. In the framework of the RADWIN 5000, this works as follows: • The HSU receives DHCP requests from equipment connected to it. • The HSU forwards these requests to the HBS. • The HBS appends the MAC address of the HSU and that of the HBS to the message, and forwards the request message with the appended data to the DHCP server.

This is a unique number that is supplied by your vendor for this specific HSU (see Inventory on page 4‐20). This unit has a ServiceCategory of “1”, which translates into “Residential1” according to the Data Diction‐ ary above. Its name is “Name4.4”, and Location is “Loc4.4” and will appear as such in the RADWIN Manager (see System on page 4‐2). It has a VLAN, and is defined as 44 (see Man‐ agement on page 4‐8). This also instructs the HBS to register this HSU. The second HSU has a serial number of VERIFI2X5KLXY2221, a ServiceCategory of “2”, which translates into “Residential2”, its name is “Name4.3”, and Location is “Loc4.3”, it has a VLAN (defined as 33). Here, too, the HBS is instructed to register this HSU. If you add HSUs to the sector, make sure you update the Users file on the RADIUS server, otherwise the HBS will not register them, and you will see an error message.

RADIUS Servers Configuration: Enter the User Name and Password that the RADIUS server uses to identify and verify that the HBS is allowed to work with it. Install Confirmation Required: If this is enabled, then when the HBS tries to register the HSUs in its sector, each HSU must permit the HBS to do so. If this is not enabled, the HBS can register the HSUs in its sector without further action. This option is useful, if for instance a technician is installing an HSU, and it is not quite ready to be activated. To confirm installation from the HSU side, there are two options: • OPTION 1: Log on to the specific HSU.

Link Compatibility Monitoring and Diagnostics The content of the Diagnostics report is an aggregate of all the more specific reports discussed below. It is primarily intended for use by RADWIN Customer Service. The Spectrum Analysis output is available directly from the Spectrum View utility as a CSV file (see Chapter 12). The format in the Diagnostics report is intended for use by RADWIN Customer Service. The Spectrum Analysis section of the Diagnostics report is based on the last available spectrum analysis (if any). If you are submitting a support request involving interference issues, or if you are specifically asked by Customer Service to submit a Diagnostics report containing a recent spectrum analysis, you should carry out the analysis in accordance with the instructions in Chapter 12 prior to using the Get Diagnostics facility. 7.3 Link Compatibility Compatibility between the HBS and an HSU is primarily determined by the software level of each element. Advisory messages are typically displayed as follows: Figure 7‐3: Typical incompatibly messages for HSUs on HBS display On the HBS window, these messages can only be seen in HSU list mode, and in the HBS Active Alarms log.

Chapter 9: VLAN Functionality 9.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter describes how the components of a RADWIN 5000 sector deal with tagging and untagging VLANs. 9.2 VLAN Tagging ‐ Overview 9.2.1 VLAN Terminology Both the technical literature and the RADWIN Manager use the terms VLAN ID and VID interchangeably to denote a VLAN identification number. 9.2.2 VLAN Background Information on the Web The standards defining VLAN Tagging are IEEE_802.1Q and extensions. For general background about VLAN see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_LAN. Background information about Double Tagging also known as QinQ may be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.1QinQ. 9.3 Requirements It is assumed that you are familiar with VLAN usage and terminology. 9.4 VLAN Tagging VLAN tagging enables multiple bridged networks to transparently share the same physical network link without leakage of information between networks: RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 9‐1...

Page 201: Vlan Untagging
VLAN Untagging VLAN Functionality Figure 9‐2: Separating client data streams using double tagging The outer tag (representing the Provider VLAN) comes first, followed by the inner tag. In QinQ the EtherType = 0x9100. VLAN tags may be stacked three or more deep. When using this type of “Provider Tagging” you should keep the following in mind: • Under Provider Tagging, the system double‐tags egress frames towards the Provider’s network. The system adds a tag with a VLA’ppN ID and EtherType = 0x9100 to all frames, as configured by the service provider (Provider VLAN ID). • The system always adds to each frame, tags with VLAN ID and EtherType = 0x9100. Therefore, • For a frame without a tag – the system will add a tag with VLAN ID and EtherType = 0x9100 so the frame will have one tag • For a frame with a VLAN tag – the system will add a tag with VLAN ID and EtherType = 0x9100 so the frame will be double‐tagged For a frame with a VLAN tag and a provider tag – the system will add a tag with VLAN ID and EtherType = 0x9100 so the frame will be triple‐tagged and so on. At the egress side, the HSU removes the QinQ tag with EtherType = 0x9100 no matter what the value of its VLAN ID. 9.4.2 VLAN Untagging VLAN Untagging means the removal of a VLAN or a Provider tag. 9.4.3 Port Functionality In a RADWIN 5000 sector, all VLAN activity is configured and supported from the HSUs. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 9‐3...
Page 202 Port Functionality VLAN Functionality To this end, VLAN functionality is supported at the MNG port of the HSU. The HSU MNG port can be configured to handle Ethernet frames at the ingress direction (where frames enter the HSU) and at the egress direction (where frames exit the HSU).

Under no circumstances does RADWIN accept responsibility for network system or financial damages arising from incorrect use of these VLAN facilities. 9.5.1 Management Traffic and Ethernet Service Separation You can define a VLAN ID for management traffic separation. You should configure the system to prevent conflicts as detailed below. When configured for the default operational mode, a “Provider port” will handle ingress traffic as follows: • Filters frames that are not tagged with the Provider VLAN ID • Removes the Provider double tag Therefore, if a port is configured for management traffic separation by VLAN and as ‘Provider port’, then the received management frames must be double tagged as follows: • The outer tag has to be the Provider’s tag (so the frame is not filtered) • The internal tag has to be management VLAN ID To avoid mix‐ups, best practice is to: RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 9‐6...

It is up to you to ensure consistency between the HSUs. HSU VLAN tagging can only be configured from one of the HSU views from the HBS. You can not log on to an HSU directly and do it from the HSU main window. The reason is that the HBS maintains the HSU tagging information in its internal per HSU configuration record.  To set up an HSU for VLAN tagging: 1.

Page 209: Chapter 10: Quality Of Service
Chapter 10: Quality of Service 10.1 Scope of This Chapter This chapter describes how to configure QoS parameters for a RADWIN 5000 sector. 10.2 Prerequisites To use the facility you must be familiar with the use of VLAN (802.1p) or Diffserv. 10.3 QoS ‐ Overview QoS is a technique for prioritization of network traffic packets during congestion. RADWIN 5000 sectors support two classification criteria, VLAN based or Diffserv based. You may choose which of them to use. Table 10‐1: Default priorities and allocation by VLAN ID and Diffserv Priority Quality queue Diffserv VLAN Real time 48‐63 6‐7 Near real time (responsive 32‐47 4‐5 applications) Controlled load 16‐31 2‐3 Best effort 0‐15 0‐1 Based upon the classification criterion chosen, received packets will be mapped into one of four quality groups: Real time, Near real time, Controlled load and Best effort. You may partition the total link capacity across the four Quality queues. The default weights as percentages are shown in Table 10‐1. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 10‐1...
Page 210: Setting Up Qos
Setting up QoS Quality of Service You can also define part of the link capacity as carrying Voice‐over‐IP traffic. This is similar to defining part of it as Real time, and is explained in Enabling a Voice‐over‐IP (VoIP) Queue on page 10‐5. 10.4 Setting up QoS QoS for RADWIN 5000 is set up in two phases: • Map the priority levels to the queues for the sector (Real Time or VoIP, Near Real Time, Controlled Load, and Best Effort). • For each HSU, set the queue weights and queue Maximum Information Rate (MIR). 10.4.1 Mapping QoS Priority Levels to Queues (from the HBS) 1. From the HBS manager, choose Configuration ‐> Ethernet tab, then click QoS Configuration. QoS is disabled by default. 2. Choose either the VLAN (802.1p) and or Diffserv method (see 10.5 for VoIP). 3. For the method you selected, type the Priority Mapping for each queue. This determines the mapping (or translation) of the priority mapping of the traffic to what is used by the RADWIN 5000. Default settings for Diffserv and VLAN are as shown in the next two figures: RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 10‐2...
Page 211: Setting Up An Hsu For Qos
Setting up an HSU for QoS Quality of Service 4. If you un‐check a queue, this queue will be ignored for the sector. It will not prevent the HSU from configuring traffic labeled with this priority level as “live”; it will merely ignore its priority level, as if the traffic was not assigned with any priority level whatsoever. Note that you cannot un‐check the Best Effort queue. 10.4.2 Setting up an HSU for QoS 1. Right click an HSU in the HBS manager HSU window (HSU must be registered), and choose Configure. 2. Open the Ethernet tab and click QoS Configuration. The following window is displayed: RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 10‐3...
Page 212 Setting up an HSU for QoS Quality of Service 3. Ensure that the Mode field is Enabled. If you already configured the HBS (sector) for Diffserv or VLAN, then it will be enabled by default (see 10.5 for VoIP). 4. If you had disabled a queue in Step 4 above, a green checkmark will not be shown next to its name, and you will not be able to configure that queue. 5. Set the Weight percentage for each queue. This determines what percentage of the throughput will be dedicated for the indicated queue. If you exceed 100% total weight, you will receive an error message. You must correct this before leaving the window other than by cancellation. If you are under‐booked, for example by setting a queue to zero, the unused weight will be distributed to the remaining queues. The effect of doing this will only become apparent under congestion. In particular, a queue set to zero weight will become RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 10‐4...

Strict: If you place a checkmark next to Strict, all traffic of the specific queue will be passed through. The Weight percentage will become disabled. Placing a checkmark here can only be done in order: First Real Time, then finally Best Effort. That is, you cannot place a checkmark in Near Real Time without one in Real Time as well. 7. Maximum Information Rate: Although the Weight percentage affects how much relative traffic will be allowed through, you can set here the absolute maximum to allow through. Place a checkmark to make this valued unlimited. 8. Configurable TTL (time to leave): A packet not transmitted within the TTL period in a congested link is dropped. 9. When you complete your entries, click Downlink to configure the downlink stream. 10. When you complete the Downlink entries, click OK to save them and continue. 10.5 Enabling a Voice‐over‐IP (VoIP) Queue Note the following: • You can enable a VoIP queue from either the HBS or the HSU . If enabled from the HSU, it is done for that HSU only, and its HBS. If done from the HBS, it can be done sector‐ wide. • The VoIP feature as implemented here assumes that your end‐user has a gateway or other network device that defines the traffic to be VoIP with the correct QoS defined (VLAN or DiffServ, in accordance with your configuration done here). The definition must be done at both ends of the data stream. • Enabling a VoIP queue may decrease the sector’s peak throughput in some scenarios. Therefore, make sure that you absolutely need to enable a VoIP queue before doing so. 1. Not available for the SU PRO/AIR, or for small form‐factor HBS units.

Page 219: Chapter 12: Spectrum View
Chapter 12: Spectrum View 12.1 Scope of This Chapter This chapter shows how to use the Spectrum View utility. This utility is part of the RADWIN Manager application. 12.2 What is Spectrum View The RADWIN Manager Spectrum View utility is an RF survey tool designed to support the sector installation prior to full sector service activation. The tool provides comprehensive and clear spectral measurement information enabling easier, faster and better quality installations. You can view real‐time spectrum information, save the spectral information and view retrieved spectral information from historic spectrum scans. Separate information is generated for the HBS and HSUs ‐ all by selection. A general sector level Highest Interference view is also provided. RADWIN’s spectrum measurement and estimation algorithms are designed to show accurate information accommodating variations in frequency, temperature and interference power and at the same time overcoming anomalies that tend to occur in high interference environments. We assume the reader knows about RF Spectrum Analysis so detailed theoretical explanations are not needed. 12.3 Who needs it Spectrum View is primarily a professional tool for the technician. Results are intended for use by RADWIN Customer Service to assist with diagnosing interference related problems. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 12‐1...
Page 220: Two Ways To Run Spectrum View
Two Ways to Run Spectrum View Spectrum View 12.4 Two Ways to Run Spectrum View From the HBS: Spectrum View may be run from the HBS in which case you have a choice of analyzing all sites in the sector in one run, or making a selection. From an HSU: Spectrum View may also be run on a managing computer directly connected to an HSU (although not from an SU PRO/AIR) Remember that in such a case the results will be quite different if the HSU is part of a sector (registered or not) or if it is completely stand‐ alone. 12.5 Where is the Spectrum View Data stored Spectrum View data is always stored in the ODU originating the analysis. The HBS maintains the last Spectrum View analysis data for all members of the sector. If you run Spectrum View from a directly connected HSU, it stores its own data, which may be quite different from the analysis obtained for the same HSU from the HBS. 12.6 Spectrum View Main Window: HBS In this section we review the main window management controls.

Chapter 13: Using the Web Interface 13.1 Scope of This Chapter This chapter describes how to work with the Web Interface, a web‐based application that enables you to carry out basic sector management functions using a Web browser. The Web Interface described here is that of the HBS and legacy HSUs. The Web Interface of the SU PRO/AIR is different, and is described in Chapter 5, SU PRO/AIR Configuration. 13.2 Who Needs it The WI is a tool for technicians to “quick‐install” a HSU in a link with minimum effort. It may also be employed by a user for a quick look at current operating parameters and the Recent Events logs. 13.3 How it Works On the managing computer, point your browser to the IP address of the radio unit with which you want to work (default IP address: http:// 10.0.0.120) and log on as shown below. You can also log on over the air to registered HSUs in the same way. For stand‐alone or unregistered HSUs, you must connect a managing computer directly to the HSU and again log on as shown below (see Logging on on page 13‐3). The WI is a developing technology. It is possible that the current distributed release may have additional or slightly different features from those shown here. The description below, should nevertheless give you a good idea of how to use the WI. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 13‐1...
Page 229: Prerequisites
Prerequisites Using the Web Interface 13.4 Prerequisites 13.4.1 Hardware You need a regular LAN connection between a managing computer and one of the sector ODUs. The WI can be used directly opposite the HBS any of its HSUs. It can also be used over the air from the HBS to any registered HSU. 13.4.2 Software Your computer should have at least version 6 of MS Internet Explorer. The Web interface also works with other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox version 3 and later. 13.4.3 Technical Background You should be familiar with the concepts underlying the RADWIN Manager and preferably with the Manager itself. 13.5 Special Considerations Working with the 13.5.1 Advanced Configurations For setup configurations using features such as HSS, VLAN and QoS, you will need to use the RADWIN Manager. 13.5.2 Operational Effects Several WI functions cause temporary sync loss. Typically, changing the number of antennas falls into this category. These cases will be pointed out in Warning messages. 13.5.3 Some Working Tips You can: » Log on to a ODU on the default IP address of 10.0.0.120/8, set the Link ID and IP address instead of using the RADWIN Manager as in Chapter 3. Unlike the Local Con‐ nection method, you need to reset the ODU to see the change in the Web Interface. » Change the operating Band of an HSU instead of using the RADWIN Manager as in Chapter 4. You can revert it the same way or by a direct connection, logged on as Installer. You cannot change the operating Band of the HBS in this way. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 13‐2...

Page 241 The Main Window Using the Web Interface There are two strict caveats to using this function: • It is intended as a tool for the field technician, replacing an HSU in the field. • If you change the operating Band of a registered HSU, you will “loose” it from the sector. The only remedy is to log on to the HSU with a direct connection and either reverse the above process, or log on as Installer and using the regular Change Band.

Page 245 Appendix B: Operating Under the FCC Unrestricted Contention Based Protocol B.1 Scope of this Chapter This appendix explains how to set up a RADWIN 5000 sector operating under the FCC Unrestricted Contention Based Protocol (UCBP) in the 3.650‐3.7GHz band. The detailed technical operation of the protocol is beyond the scope of this manual. B.2 Bringing up a Sector The HBS for FCC UCBP is pre‐configured for this regulation only. Activation is the same as for other RADWIN 5000 products (see To activate an HBS: on page 3‐ 5). Following activation, the HBS will find its HSUs in the same manner as described in Chapter 3. The only additional steps you must take are to set two extra parameters in the Configuration Air Interface tab: RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 B‐1...
Page 246 Figure B‐1: Air Interface Tab for FCC UCBP Throughput Mode: Leave this as Maximum Throughput Sharing Percentage [%]: This value (between 15 ‐ 75%, default 50%) is the maximum capacity the HBS is prepared to relinquish in favour of other transmitters on this band. (There may be several.) Minimal Contention: This value (5 ‐ 20ms, default 10ms) is the amount of time the HBS is prepared to wait to check again for channel availability ‐ and if still not available, to transmit regardless. The values as set in Figure B‐1 mean the following: The HBS will relinquish 20% of its capacity, but will transmit a burst after 10ms regardless. RADWIN 5000 Configuration Guide Release 4.9.17 B‐2...
Page 247 B.3 HSU Operation Since the HSUs take their cue from the HBS in respect of air interface parameters, nothing special is required in their configuration. Older model HSUs configured for the 3.650‐3.7GHz band should work correctly ‐ but you should check with RADWIN Customer Service before using them for UCBP.
