Feature Overview
Multipoint Headend System
The Cisco broadband fixedwireless multipoint headend system is designed to use antennas that transmit
the RF signal in a portion of a complete circle, or directionally, in what is called a sector. Each headend
site can be designed and configured to broadcast in a single sector, or in multiple sectors, depending on
the requirements of the network.
For each sector, the components of a multipoint headend system (see Figure 1) consist of the necessary
cables and:
• One Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router
• One wireless modem card installed in the router
• One power feed panel
• One or two antennas (second antenna for diversity reception is optional)
• One or two wireless transverters containing the RF amplifier (one for each antenna)
• One or two duplexers (one for each wireless transverter)

Multipoint Headend Components
Router
The Cisco uBR7200 series are designed for two-way transmission of digital data using either coaxial
cable or broadband fixed wireless signals. These routers support IP routing with a wide variety of
protocols and any combination of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), serial,
and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) media. Network interfaces reside on port adapters that
provide the connection between the router and external networks. Cable or wireless interfaces reside on
modem cards and provide the connection to cable or wireless networks.
Other features include:
• Online insertion and removal (OIR)—Add, replace, or remove a port adapter and modem cards
without interrupting the system or entering any console commands
• Downloadable software—Load new images into Flash memory remotely, without having to
physically access the router
For further information regarding the Cisco uBR7200 series, including detailed installation and

Feature Overview
Wireless Modem Card
The wireless modem card installs in a modem card slot of a Cisco uBR7200 series. It is configured
through the router’s system console or via the CiscoView network management system. The wireless
modem card provides the control and data interface to the system’s digital motherboard and the radio
frequency (RF) subsystem in the wireless transverter. It also provides the up/down conversion from
baseband to intermediate frequency (IF).
The wireless modem card consists of the following components:
• Digital motherboard
• IF analog board
• 10-MHz input connection for external reference clock signal (external reference clock is optional)
• 10-MHz output connection for forwarding optional external reference clock signal to another
wireless modem card
• Monitor connections for monitoring the power feed panel connections (main and diversity)
• Power feed panel connections (main and diversity)
• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that provide a visual indication of the state of the modem card
For further information regarding the wireless modem card, including detailed installation and
configuration information, refer to the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router Multipoint Wireless Modem Cardand Subsystem Installation document.
Power Feed Panel
The power feed panel serves as an interconnection device between the wireless modem card, the
wireless transverter, and a –48 VDC power supply. The main purpose of this unit is to provide
DC power to the system, provide control signals to the wireless transverter, and transmit and receive IF
signals to and from the transverters. In addition, the unit contains circuit breakers for the DC power.

Multipoint Wireless Support for the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Router
Overriding the Default Microcode Path
The wireless line card requires external microcode images in order to operate. The Cisco IOS software has
a default file path where it looks to find the microcode and the microcode version. For routers that are
configured with line cards at the factory, the path and version of the microcode image in flash memory
matches the default setting and allows the line card to come up without any additional configuration.
However, you may want to override the default microcode path, for example, to upgrade your software to
the latest release. Use the following steps to change the path for the microcode.

EXEC mode.
Displays the specified path for the microcode.
Loads the microcode onto the line card.
Saves the path for the microcode so that the
microcode is loaded from the new path the next
time the router is rebooted.
Configuring IF Loopback (Optional)
An IF loopback confirms that the hardware is seated properly in the chassis and that the analog and signal
processing portions of the wireless modem card are functioning as expected. Loopback does not test
forward error corrections (FEC) and MAC-layer interface of the line card; other tests must be done for these
portions of the line card. Each receive path must be tested individually when there are two antennas
employed.
Use the following commands to execute an IF loopback. Specifying these commands shuts down the
radio link and initiates the IF loopback.

Configuring RF Loopback (Optional)
An RF loopback confirms that the wiring to the transverter is correct, that communication has been
established from the line card to the transverter, and that the transverter is operating correctly. (It does not
test the duplexer, which is the final stage before the signal is sent to the antenna.) Also, loopback does not
test forward error corrections (FEC) and MAC-layer interface of the line card; other tests must be done for
these portions of the line card. Because there is only one transmit path, the path to each transverter must be
tested separately. Use the following commands to configure the RF loopback.

Configuring the Automatic Level Control (ALC)
The automatic level control (ALC) module governs the individual transmit power levels of all the
subscriber units. The purpose of ALC is to ensure that the target receive power at the headend is maintained
over time by taking power measurements of all the subscribers many times per second. Taking power
measurements in small intervals results in better resilience to the fading environment, but it consumes more
upstream bandwidth. ALC can be disabled, but this is not recommended because it results in poor upstream
link performance. The current system allows only one interval setting for an entire sector. The default
interval is 96 ms.
Sets the subchannel and modulation-profile
assignment for the upstream channel.
NoteThe bandwidth of the subchannel must
match the bandwidth of the
modulation-profile.
Sets the downstream transmit power to power in
dBm.
Sets the target receive power in dBm for the
