Product Compatibility

While every effort has been made to verify operation of this product with an
array of different communications products and networks, BridgeWave makes
no claim of compatibility between its products and other vendors’ equipment.
Carefully evaluate this product’s applicability and projected performance
characteristics in the communications environment in which it will be used.

Safety and Regulatory

United States of America

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases
of operation and service of the products covered in this manual. Failure to
comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this
manual can void the warranty.

 Do not stand directly in front of an energized antenna.
 Do not install or operate the equipment in the presence of or close to

flammable fumes or gases. Operating any electrical instrument in such
an environment is a safety hazard.

 BridgeWave radios meet all applicable U.S.A. FCC safety requirements

for general population exposure to radio frequency emissions; however,
it is best to avoid prolonged, unnecessary exposure to the waveguide
opening while it is operating.

 Please refer to Articles 810 and 830 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA No. 70, for installations in the U.S.A. for information
regarding proper grounding and applicable lightning protection for DC
cables.

 Outdoor equipment must be properly grounded to provide protection

against voltage surges and built-up static charges. In the event of a
short circuit, grounding reduces (but does not eliminate) the risk of
electrical shock.

 Changes or modifications not expressly approved (in writing) by

BridgeWave’s Engineering and/or Product Management personnel can
void the warranty. For installations in all other countries, implement
protection in accordance with the safety standards and regulatory
requirements of the country where the equipment is to be installed.

Protection from Lightning

Article 810 of the US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996 specifies
that radio and television lead-in cables must have adequate surge protection at or
near the point of entry to the building. The code specifies that any shielded cable

Page 8 of 84

040-57105-01

CAUTION

CAUTION

CAUTION

CAUTION

from an external antenna must have the shield directly connected to a 10 AWG wire
that connects to the building ground electrode.

Protection from RF Emissions

It is hazardous to look into or stand in front of an active antenna aperture. Do not
stand in front of or look into an antenna without first ensuring the associated
transmitter or transmitters are switched off. Do not look into the waveguide port of an
ODU when the radio is active.

LASER SAFETY NOTICE

This product complies with CFR 1040.10, 1040.11 and EN (IEC) 60825-1 regulations
and safety standards. The product may include a Class 1 laser utilized as a fiber optic
driver. Class 1 lasers do not emit radiation at known hazardous levels.

However, it is recommended that maintenance or service personnel should never look
at an open fiber end or connector that is carrying a live signal. During use, this optical
fiber communications system is completely enclosed except if an accidental break
occurs in the system cable, or if the patch cable becomes accidentally disconnected
from the demarcation box.

There are no controls or adjustments other than power ON/OFF that may be accessed
by the user.

 Risk of Personal Injury from Fiber Optics
 DANGER: Invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to the end

of a fiber, fiber cord, or fiber pigtail. The infrared light used in fiber
optics systems is invisible, but can cause serious injury to the eye.

 WARNING: Never touch exposed fiber with any part of your body. Fiber

fragments can enter the skin and are difficult to detect and remove.

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedure other than
those specified in this Manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY NOTICE

Note that each locality has its own codes of safety and construction. Equipment
installations must comply with these codes. It is the installer/user’s responsibility to
understand what codes apply and to ensure that the installation conforms to these
codes.

Input Power Requirements

Do not turn on the power before reading BridgeWave’s product documentation. This
device has a -48 VDC direct current input at less than 50VA.

NOTE: The power requirement for the FLEX4G-LITE is 48VDC at 32W.

Click on Radio Functions>Setup in the Navigation Panel. The following

screen appears.

This page contains the panel where radio configuration changes can be made;
it also displays the current status of the modem and the link.

Please be aware that any changes that are entered are only made to the
radio, to which you are currently connected, and any changes made to
Frequency, Bandwidth, Mute, CW, or Data Rate will take down an operating
link until the same changes are made at the other end of the link.

Page 19 of 84

040-57105-01

Channel Bandwidth: Pull down menu allows the user to select the
operating channel bandwidth, if licensed, from the pull down menu.

Channel Frequency: Input the Transmit Frequency in MHz for which this
radio is assigned. Valid frequencies must be divisible by 62.5MHz.

ODU Polarity: This field not configurable. However, the field will display the
current polarity the unit is on.

ATPC or Alignment: Select “ATPC” or “Alignment” from the next pull down
menu. “Alignment” should only be selected for use during the alignment

procedure as it will fix the transmit power per the value set in the Alignment
TX Power box. The radio must be set to ATPC after the link is properly
aligned for normal operation.

Min TX Power and Max TX Power: Enter the Minimum and Maximum
Transmit ATPC power levels. Allowable range is from -5 dBm to +22 dBm.
This feature only works with ATPC is selected.

Alignment Tx Power: Enter a specific transmit power value. This feature
only works when Alignment mode is selected.

Mute: Enable Mute to stop RF Transmission of the local radio. The Mute
Timeout value is configured under the Configuration page. The default
value is 10 mins.

CW: Disables transmitter modulation and sends a constant carrier out the
antenna port for tests requiring an unmodulated signal.

Minimum and Maximum Bit Rate: Selects the allowable minimum and
maximum bit rates from the pull down menus. This must be done in order for
Adaptive Coding and Modulation to operate. The maximum bit rate is
controlled by the license key installed on the Licensing page.

CPRI (Port 2): Select the CPRI speed from the pull down menu. The range
available is: 614.4Mbps – 3.072Gbps.

Setting the Radio’s IP Address

Radio IP Address can be changed by selecting the following link from

the Navigation pane:

Figure 6: IP Configuration Page

Note: The unit is preconfigured with a default IP address from the factory depending
on the unit type (Low Band or High Band). This address is associated with VLAN 1
which is also created at the factory during initial configuration. Using the “Factory
Defaults” page to revert the configuration will not change the IP address configured
by the customer. However, using the CLI command to default the unit will cause all
VLAN and IP information to be lost. Unless the “keep IP” option is use, a new VLAN
and IP address will have to be configured via the serial port.

Also, saving the changes by clicking on the “Save” button will not keep the new
settings unless the startup-config is saved. This is done by navigating to the “Save
startup-config” page using the following link:
Switch>Maintenance>Configuration>Save startup-config

This page is divided into three sections; IP Configuration, IP Interfaces,

and IP Routes. Once all changes have been made, click the “Save”
button before proceeding to another page.

 IP Configuration: This section allows for the configuration of the unit to act as

a Host (default setting) or router. It also allows for the configuration of the
DNS server.

 Mode: Host mode, IP traffic between interfaces will not be routed. Router

mode traffic is routed between all interfaces.

 DNS Server: This setting controls the DNS name resolution done by the

switch.

 From any DHCP interfaces: The first DNS server offered from a DHCP –enable

interface will be used

 No DNS server: No DNS server will be used (default setting).

Page 21 of 84

040-57105-01

 Configured: Explicitly provide the IP address of the DNS Server in dotted

decimal notation

 From this DHCP interface: Specify from which DHCP-enabled interface a

provided DNS server should be preferred

o DNS Proxy: When DNS proxy is enabled, system will relay DNS

 Request to the currently configured DNS server, and reply as a DNS resolver

to the client devices on the network.

IP Interfaces: Configured IP interface with the use of either IPv4 or IPv6.
The default interface is VLAN 1 with IP address of 10.100.7.247 for the Low
Band radio and 10.100.7.248 for the High Band radio.
The configurable fields in this section are:

 Delete: Select this option to delete an existing IP interface
 VLAN: The VLAN associated with the IP interface. Only ports in this VLAN

will be able to access the IP interface. (This field is only available for input
when creating a new interface.)

 IPv4 DHCP Enable: Enable the DHCP client by checking this box. If this

option is enabled, the system will configure the IPv4 address and mask of
the interface using the DHCP protocol. The DHCP client will announce the
configured System Name as hostname to provide DNS lookup.

 IPv4 Fallback: The number of seconds for trying to obtain a DHCP lease.

After this period expires, a configured IPv4 address will be use as IPv4
interface address. A value of zero disables the fallback mechanism, such
that DHCP will keep retrying until a valid address is obtained. Range
values are 0 to 4294967295 seconds

 IPv4 Address: IPv4 address of the interface is dotted decimal notation.

(If DHCP is enabled, this field configures the fallback address. The field

may be left blank if IPv4 operation on the interface is not desired – or no
DHCP fallback address is desired.)

 IPv4 Mask: The IPv4 network mas, in number of bits (prefix length).

Valid values are between 0 and 30 bits for an IPv4 address. (If DHCP is

enabled, this field configures the fallback address network mask. The field
may be left blank if IPv4 operation on the interface is not desired – or no
DHCP fallback address is desired.)

 IPV6 Address: The IPv6 address of the interface. An IPv6 is in 128-bit

records represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a
colon separating each field (:). For example, fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7.
The symbol “::” is a special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of
representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can appear

Page 22 of 84

040-57105-01

only once. It can also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example,
::192.1.2.34. The field may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface
is not desired.

 IPv6 Mask: The IPv6 network mask, in number of bits (prefix length).

Valid values are between 1 and 128 bits for an IPv6 address. The field
may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.

IP Routes: This section is use to configured the routing options for the IP
interfaces configured. The configurable fields for this section are:

 Delete: Select this option to delete an existing IP route
 Network: The destination IP network or host address of this route. Valid

format is dotted decimal notation or a valid IPv6 notation. A default route
for IPv4 is configured using 0.0.0.0 . A default route for IPv6 is configured
using “::” notation.

 Mask Length: The destination IP network or host mask, in number of bits

(prefix length). It defines how much of a network address that must
match, in order to qualify for this route. Valid values are between 0 and
32 bits respectively 128 for IPv6 routes. Only a default route will have a
mask length of 0 (as it will match anything).

 Gateway: The IP address of the IP gateway. Valid format is dotted

decimal notation or a valid IPv6 notation. Gateway and Network must be
of the same type.

 Next Hop VLAN(Only for IPv6): The VLAN ID (VID) of the specific IPv6

interface associated with the gateway. The given VID ranges from 1 to
4094 and will be effective only when the corresponding IPv6 interface is
valid. If the IPv6 gateway address is link-local, it must specify the next
hop VLAN for the gateway. If the IPv6 gateway address is not link-local,
system ignores the next hop VLAN for the gateway.

Radios Default IP configuration

The unit will configured with the following default settings:

Low Band Unit: Mode: Host

IP address: 10.100.7.247

Mask Length: 24

IP Route: None

High Band Unit: Mode: Host
IP address: 10.100.7.248

Page 23 of 84

040-57105-01

Mask Length: 24
IP Route: None
NOTE: In order for the configuration interface (host) to be reach from outside

 LAN Ports: Ports 1 – 6

1. Ports 1, 4 – 6 are 10/100/1000Mbps ports

2. Ports 2 & 3 are SFP cages.

These ports can be used with Fiber (MM or SM), Cupper, and/or
CPRI SFP modules.

 Wireless Ports: 7 – 10

1. Each port is 1000Mbps/1Gbps ports capable

2. Each port receives a fraction of the total available wireless

bandwidth. Examples:

1. 2Gbps wireless link, Port 7, 8, 9 & 10 are on

Each port gets 500Mbps. 2000Mbps /4 ports.

2. 3Gbps wireless link, Port 7 & 8 are on

Each port only gets 1000Mbps. That is because each
port is 1000Mbps port only.

5 UI & MODEM Update Procedures via CLI

Tools and Methods

Tools and equipment needed for software update

PC or laptop with telnet or SSH enabled
Ethernet cable to connect to the radio
UI Software Update Package
The factory default IP addresses for the FLEX4G-LITE V² are:
Low Band: 10.100.7.247

High Band: 10.100.7.248

If the IP address of the target radio was previously changed, use
that address along with user ID and password where required.

Update Using Command Line Interface

This method requires a Telnet connection from the host PC to the radio. In
addition, a TFTP server is required to host the new UI package.

Follow this step to perform the update:

1. Copy the FLEX4G-LITE UI upgrade file to a known location on the

host PC. The upgrade file extension ends with “.gz”

2. Start a TFTP server (NBTFTP.exe) on the host PC.

3. Set the search directory of the TFTP server to the directory where

the upgrade software is located.

4. Open a Command window on the host PC.

5. Telnet to the target FLEX4G-LITE radio by typing at the system

prompt:

6. C:\>telnet <ip_addr>

7. Connection should establish and the radio will respond with a

request for the Username. Enter “admin”. A request for
password will follow. The default password is <enter> or return
on the PC keyboard.

8. The FLEX4G-LITE will send a message with the number of error

entries in the syslog and then display a prompt.

Page 77 of 84

Periodic Status

Figure 60: CLI Periodic Status Message

In addition, the FLEX4G-LITE sends a periodic status message when
connected. This message is sent every minute. A sample message is shown
above. This message display can be disabled using the following CLI
commands. Disabling the periodic message reduces the possibility of
mistyping.

>debug trace module level eband_radi default none
>debug trace module level eband_fpga default none

9. The syntax for uploading the UI image uses the follow CLI

command.

>debug firmware managed.bk <ip_addr of TFTP server> <file name:
LITExxx.gz>

For example:

>debug firmware load managed.bk 10.100.7.3 LITE0004.gz

The command tells the radio software to load into the backup image memory
location the UI image available from the TFTP server located at 10.100.7.3
with the file name of FLEX4G-LITE0004.exe.

10. The radio will return the following message when the command

is executed:

Download ‘‘ <filename>’’ , x,xxx,xxx bytes
Erasing image...
Programming image...

no command

Programmed xxxxxxx bytes (checksum 0xxxxxx) to managed.bk -- OK

The time for this process is 3-5 minutes to complete.

11. After the software image upload is completed. Use a web

browser and log into the target radio using the IP address of the
radio in the URL bar. Navigate to Maintenance>Software>Image
select and click on Activate Alternate Image select. This
command actives the alternate image and places the active image
in standby.

Update FPGA/Modem Firmware

Upgrading FPGA/CPU modem firmware uses requires the following:

 PC with Telnet services
 TFTP server on a PC that the FLEX4G-LITE radio has access
 FPGA/CPU modem firmware package

1. Start the TFTP server on a PC that the FLEX4G-LITE radio has

access.

2. Copy new FPGA/CPU modem code to the TFTP server directory.

3. Start up a telnet session to the target FLEX4G-LITE radio.

>telnet [ip_addr]

4. Enter user name, (admin), and password, (enter or return), at

the prompts

5. Enter Determine which of the three available memory locations

will be used to store the new code. Use the following command
sequence to determine which memory location is operational:

>upgrade cpu page

NOTE: The FLEX4G-LITE radio will return one of the following string
messages for example:

>Upgrade cmd [x] succeeded with status 0x0

The value after the word status defines the operational firmware
Factory 0x0 = memory factory default

APP 1 0x4 = memory slot 1
APP 2 0x8 = memory slot 2
APP 3 0xc = memory slot 3

6. Upload the new modem firmware using the following command

>upgrade tftp xfer [tftp_server ip_addr] [modem
file name] [file size] [file checksum]

If the command sequence is inputted correctly, the TFTP server will upload
the firmware to the radio.

After uploading the following message will be displayed at the system prompt.

TFTP get from [ip_addr] [file name] passed length: [modem file
size] CRC correct [file size in hex]. Sending image..
Commit the upload to flash memory type the following command
sequence

>upgrade cpu burn [x]

Where [x] = flash memory slot, x=1, 2, or 3.

Do not attempt to load into the operational memory slot as determined in
step 5 above. If this slot is selected, upload will not commit to flash memory.

The commit to flash memory will take 1 to 2 minutes. After the commit is
complete the radio will return the following sequence

Upgrade cmd [x] succeeded with status 0x0

cmd [x] is defined in Table 3: CMD Parameters

7. Confirm the new FPGA/CPU modem code is operational by

checking the Radio Modem Status by returning to the top level
prompt by inputting the necessary up command at the prompt
and then typing the CLI command for Status.
