Regulatory Compliance

General Note

This system has achieved Type Approval in various countries around the world. This means that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to comply. The frequency bands in which the system operates may be “unlicensed” and in these bands, the system can be used provided it does not cause interference.

FCC - Compliance

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible

for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Warning

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden by FCC rules 47 CFR part 15.204.

Warning

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when configuring the radio in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), the Tx power is set according to the values for which the product is certified. The use of Tx power values other than those, for which the product is certified, is expressly forbidden by FCC rules 47 CFR part 15.204.

Caution

Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the product warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities. Resellers or distributors of this equipment are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas according to country regulations and antenna type.

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 iv

Indoor Units comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) These devices may not cause harmful interference. (2) These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

Canadian Emission Requirements for Indoor Units

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil numẻrique de la classe B est conforme ả la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

China MII

Operation of the equipment is only allowed under China MII 5.8GHz band regulation configuration with EIRP limited to 33 dBm (2 Watt).

India WPC

Operation of the equipment is only allowed under India WPC GSR-38 for 5.8GHz band regulation configuration.

Unregulated

In countries where the radio is not regulated the equipment can be oper ated in any regulation configuration, best results will be obtained using Universal regulation configuration.

Safety Practices

Applicable requirements of National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70; and the National Electrical Safety Code, ANSI/IEEE C2, must be considered during installation.

NOTES:

1. A Primary Protector is not required to protect the exposed wiring as long as the exposed wiring length is limited to less than or equal to 140 feet, and instructions are provided to avoid exposure of wiring to accidental contact with lightning and power conductors in accordance with NEC Sections 725-54 (c) and 800-30.

In all other cases, an appropriate Listed Primary Protector must be provided. Refer to Articles 800 and 810 of the NEC for details.

2. For protection of ODU against direct lightning strikes, appropriate requirements of NFPA 780 should be considered in addition to NEC.

3. For Canada, appropriate requirements of the CEC 22.1 including Section 60 and additional requirements of CAN/CSA-B72 must be considered as applicable.

Warning

• Where Outdoor units are configurable by software to Tx power values other than those for which the product is certified, it is the responsibility of the Professional Installer to restrict the Tx power to the certified limits.

• This product was tested with special accessories - indoor unit (IDU or PoE), FTP CAT-5e shielded cable with sealing gasket, 12 AWG grounding cable - which must be used with the unit to insure compliance.

• QoS support

•Spectrum View

• Support for 3.3, 3.8 and 2.5 GHz bands

Some Terminology

A Point to Multipoint network is typically abbreviated to PtMP. The PtMP networks described in this Manual are of course, radio links.

A PtMP link consists of at least one high Base Station radio linked to several Subscriber Unit radios. The SUs are sometimes called Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs). The terminology comes from the field of telephony.

The RADWIN 5000 HPMP product suite supports considerably higher capacity than other current technologies (such as Wi-Max). We distinguish between generic BSs and SUs and RADWIN units, relabeling the latter, HBSs and HSUs (H = high capacity).

The radio links are effected by using a sector antenna with the HBS. The HSUs use directional antennas aligned to the HBS.

A Sector consists of an HBS and a group of HSUs within the angular sector covered by the HBS antenna. A Sector is typically 60° or 120° depending of course on the choice of antenna.

HBSs may be collocated to provide sectorial coverage up to 360°. The RF characteristics of a Sector will be common to each radio: Frequency (regulation),

band and channel bandwidth. Adjacent Sectors in a PtMP network will typically use different frequencies and non-overlapping bands to mitigate HBS self interference.

Viewing and Printing

This manual is optimized for viewing online as a PDF file. To this end it uses an 11 point Tahoma typeface for main text. Tables for most part, use 7 or 8 point fonts. Here are a few pointers for hard-copy printing:

• The text and table typefaces used are large enough to print the manual at two pages per sheet

• For good legibility, use a commercial grade laser printer. A color printer is of course best, however a monochrome printer set to use gray-scale gives acceptable results

• Better quality ink jet printers also give good output

Site Preparation

Planning the Sector Site

Overview

Sector site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out before any equipment is deployed. If for some reason, the outcome of any of these surveys is negative, HBS or HSU re-location will need to be considered.

A Site Survey consists of three stages:

1. Preliminary survey - The pr oposed sector is analyzed in the office using a topogr aphic map. You should use additional tools such as the Link Budget Calculator or the Radio Planner.

2. Physical survey - The locations of the indoor and outdoor equipment are determined on-site.

3. Radio Frequency (RF) survey - It is recommended that the installation area be scanned with a spectrum analyzer, to identify RF interference so as to determine a clear channel for radio installation (on-site).

The Site Survey

Introduction

RADWIN wireless links must be planned before installation. The designated installation sites must be appraised to determine that the wireless system is able to operate efficiently and provide connectivity without signal degradation.

RADWIN 5000 HPMP offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency channel must be determined within the operating range, for optimum performance.

Recommended Equipment

Stage 1: Preliminary Survey

• Topo logic al map of the area

• Urban map of the area

•Compass

Stage 1: Preliminary Survey Chapter 2

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 2-2

• Link Budget Calculator and/or Radio Planner

Stage 2: Physical Survey

• 100 meter tape measure

• Ohmmeter, to check ground connection

•Binoculars

•Map

• Digital camera

• Paper, pencil, and a clipboard

• GPS device (optional)

• Compass (optional)

Stage 3: RF Survey

• Spectrum Analyzer with Max Hold function and screen capture facility that can store multiple images, for documentation purposes

• RF accessories (connectors and cables)

• Communication devices (for example, cellular phones, or a set of walkie-talkies)

Stage 1: Preliminary Survey

A preliminary survey is necessary before visiting potential installation sites. As much detail as possible should be obtained about the designated ODU installation sites and the area between them.

 To perform a preliminary survey:

1. Mark the designated installation sites on a topographic map of the area.

2. Measure the distance between the sites; check that it is within the specified range of the equipment.

3. On the urban map, check for developed areas situated between the installation sites. Pay attention to these areas when performing the physical site survey; there may be tall buildings, RF towers, or transmitters, which could cause interference to a sector.

4. Check the area between the two sites for obstructions such as:

• High ground - hills or mountains

• Lakes or large bodies of water. Water has a reflection effect on RF signals like a building. This type of reflection causes the received amplitude to be reduced. As a rule of thumb, the presence of a large body of water between sector sites may double the required antenna height.

5. Determine and record the compass bearings between HBS and HSU ODUs, relative to north.

6. If there are obstructions between the two sites, calculate the Fresnel Zone (see

Chapter 18 for details).

7. If the sites chosen do not meet requirements, consider alternative sites.

8. Use the Link Budget Calculator (on the CD supplied with the equipment or using the RADWIN Manager) to determine the expected performance.

Stage 2: Physical Survey Chapter 2

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 2-3

Stage 2: Physical Survey

The physical site survey reviews the environment of the proposed installation location, to ensure that the sector sites are suitable for the wireless network. The results of the physical site survey should be recorded.

 To perform a physical survey:

1. From the compass readings taken in the preliminary survey, find the azimuth (horizontal position) that each HSU ODU should face towards the HBS ODU.

2. Using binoculars, locate any obstructions such as tall trees, high buildings, hills or mountains. Look for other RF towers between the two sites. Mark the locations of the obstructions on the map.

3. Determine the location for the ODU (having regard for existing rooftop installations and tower space). It should be above any obstructions, considering the Fresnel zone (see Chapter 18).

4. If you need to install an ODU on a tower, make sure that the tower is far enough from overhead electric power lines.

5. Determine a location for the indoor equipment; it should be as close as possible to the ODU. At an existing site, there is probably an equipment room with cable-routing channels.

6. Measure and record the path length of the cable from each ODU position to the indoor equipment room.

7. Determine the ground and lightning connection points of the installation. The ODU and PoE must both be grounded.

8. Using the Ohmmeter, measure and record the resistance of the require d installation to the grounding point. The resistance must be less than 1O ohm.

9. Review the results of the physical site survey. Decide if the site is suitable for the wireless network installation.

• If the site is suitable, continue with stage 3, the RF survey

• If the site is not suitable, survey another site

Additional Outdoor Site Requirements

The ambient outdoor operating temperature should be -35 to 60 C (-31 to 140F).

Note

It is advisable to go on a clear day, so y ou can more easily see any obstructions between the two sites.

Note

Outdoor CAT-5e; Maximum cable length: 100m for 10/100BaseT and 75m for 1000BaseT (GbE PoEs)

Additional Indoor Site Requirements Chapter 2

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 2-4

Additional Indoor Site Requirements

The ambient operating temperature should be 0 to 50°C (32 to 122 °F) at a humidity of up to 90%, non condensing

Stage 3: RF Survey

The RF survey examines the wireless environment of the installation site, to determine whether there are available channels within the radio operating frequency band. An RF survey is performed using a spectrum analyzer.

It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the spectrum analyzer before going out on site, specifically the Max Hold and Marker functions.

You should perform the RF survey at each of the proposed sector sites. The survey should be carried out during a busy time of day, to best judge the worst-case

radio interference. Allow 2-4 hours duration for a good RF survey.

RF Planning for Dense Installations and Collocated Sites

Interference may arise from

• Self-interference from collocated RADWIN radios

• Other collocated radio devices installed on the same site.

To avoid or minimize interference, follow these recommendations:

• For collocated RADWIN units, use an HSS unit to synchronize between them. Select a different operating channels for each collocated RADWIN unit.

• If one or more collocated units are not RADWIN units, ensure that there is a physical separation of at least three meters between a RADWIN unit and any other collocated radio on the site.

• Use the largest possible frequency gap between these units

• Choose the best frequency channel (as clear as possible from interference). Y ou may be able to change the band used for the sector - depending on HBS model and regulations.

• Decreasing the Tx Power of a sect or will reduce collocation interference

Note

Use the Link Budget Calculator to determine the minimum Tx Power required to maintain sector stability.

Chapter 3

Hardware Installation

This chapter sets out the requirements and procedures for the hardware installation and alignment of a RADWIN 5000 HPMP sector in accordance with the prior planning as set out in

Chapter 2. It is intended to guide qualified field technicians.

Safety Practices

Preventing overexposure to RF energy

To protect against overexposure to RF energy, install the ODUs so as to provide and maintain minimal separation distances from all persons.

When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF fields are present when the transmitter is on. The ODU must not be deployed in a location where it is possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of the antenna.

Grounding

All RADWIN products should be grounded during operation. In addition:

•The ODU should be earthed by a wire with diameter of at least 12AWG. RADWIN 5000 HPMP ODUs must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. It

is the user's responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. These codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding

Warning

Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities. RADWIN and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas.

Note

The material in this chapter is generic to all RADWIN radio products unless stated otherwise.

Protection against Lightning Chapter 3

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 3-2

outdoor units, masts, lead-in wiring and discharge units. It also lays down the size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes.

RADWIN 5000 HPMP ODUs must be grounded to a Protective Earth as described in

Chapter 17 and in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations.

Further, you should -

• Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last

• Never connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment

• Ensure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground

More detailed guidelines are supplied in Chapter 17.

Protection against Lightning

The use of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user requirements. All of RADWIN outdoor units are designed with surge limiting circuits to minimize the risk of damage due to lightning strikes. RADWIN recommends the use of additional surge arrestor devices to protect the equipment from nearby lightning strikes.

See Chapter 17 for detailed installation instructions of lightning protection devices.

General

• It is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be contracted to a professional installer.

• Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, you should remove jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.

• Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines.

• Use extreme care when working at heights.

• When using an AC power source for RADWIN 5000 HPMP PoEs always use the AC power adapter supplied by RADWIN.

• Use the right tools. In addition to standard tools required for any kind of ODU or antenna installation, RADWIN 5000 HPMP ODUs require additional specific tools detailed on page 3-7 below.

Outdoor installation Chapter 3

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 3-9

Figure 3-10: Typical HSU installation with external antenna

The HBS installation differs only in the antenna type: It uses a sector antenna. The installation steps are detailed in the following sections.

Outdoor installation

Preparing the ODU before Deployment

Each ODU should be pre-loaded with an IP address. This may be done prior to deployment in the field, or on-site using a Laptop computer. The process is quite straight-forward and described in Chapter 4.

Mounting the ODU

The ODU can be mounted on a pole or a wa ll. In both installations, the supplied mounting kit is used to secure the ODU.

 To mount the ODU on a pole or a wall:

1. Ensure that the ODU is properly grounded.

2. Mount the ODU onto the pole or wall. Ensure that the unit is oriented so that the cable connectors are at the bottom. (If they are on top, water may penetrate

Note

A mast-sited ODU typically uses a pole attached to the mast.

Mounting external antennas Chapter 3

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 3-10

into the unit causing damage.) It is possible to mount an ODU horizontally. See

Chapter 16 for details.

3. Refer also to Chapter 16 for detailed ODU mounting kit contents and schematics.

Mounting external antennas

If you are using ODU with an integrated antenna, skip to Mounting the Lightning Protec-

tion Devices below.

The supplied mounting kit is used to mount the antenna onto a pole. The antennas must be aligned for maximum throughput.

 To mount an external antenna:

1. To mount an external antenna, ensure that the antenna is properly grounded and then mount the antenna onto the pole. Refer to Chapter 16 for detailed antenna mounting instructions.

2. Follow the mounting instructions supplied with the antenna.

Mounting the Lightning Protection Devices

The use of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user requirements. The RADWIN 5000 HPMP ODU is designed with surge limiting circuits to minimize the risk of damage due to lightning strikes. RADWIN recommends the use of additional surge arrestor devices to protect the equipment from nearby lightning strikes.

Refer to Chapter 17 for detailed installation instructions of lightning protection devices.

Outdoor Connections

 To complete the outdoor connections:

1. Connect the ground cable to the ODU chassis as marked on the ODU.

Warning

Prior to connecting cables to the ODU, the protective earth terminal (screw) of the ODU must be connected to an external protective ground conductor or to a grounded pole.

• Only a qualified person using the proper safety equipment should climb the antenna mast

• Only qualified professional personnel should install or dismantle ODUs and masts

Note

• Do not tighten the ODU to its mounting brackets until the alignment process of the antenna is complete.

• Ensure that there are no direct obstructions in front of the ODU or interference from man-made obstacles.

Warning

Never stand in front of a live antenna!

Installing a Sector using PoE Devices Chapter 3

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 3-11

2. Connect the lightning protection device to the ODU (see Chapter 17).

3. Attach the ODU-PoE cable to the ODU RJ-45 connector (see Appendix B for the connector pinout)

4. Screw in the cable glands to ensure hermetic sealing of the ODU.

5. Secure the cables to the pole, mast or brackets using UV-rated cable ties.

Installing a Sector using PoE Devices

A typical PoE device is a very simple unit having a power input connector and two Ethernet ports. It is AC powered, and has a power LED .

 To prepare a sector using PoE devices:

1. To connect the ODU to the PoE device, route the cable from the ODU to the PoE device, secure the cable along its pat h and co nnec t t he c able to th e LAN-OUT RJ-45 connector on the PoE device.

2. Connect it to AC power.

3. Repeat steps 1 to 2 for all ODUs in the sector.

Connecting User Equipment

 To connect user equipment to a PoE device:

• Connect a user switch, router or any other compatible device to the PoE device RJ-45 port designated LAN-IN. Refer to Appendix B for connector pinouts.

Aligning HSUs to an HBS

You perform HSU antenna alignment to an HBS using the HSU ODU’s audible tone.

 To align an HSU to its HBS:

1. Ensure that the sector antenna of the HBS is aligned precisely to the sector it is intended to cover. Use a compass and topographical maps to do this.

2. For both the HBS and HSUs: Using a coax cable with N- Type connectors, connect the vertical polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 1 connector of the ODU. Then, using a second coax cable with N-Type connectors, connect the horizontal polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 2 connector of the ODU.

3. Ensure that power is connected to the site PoEs across the sector.

4. Provided that an HSU detects the signal from the HBS, the ODU starts beeping 20 seconds after power up, and continues beeping until the HSU is aligned to the HBS, and the alignment is complete.

Note

There is no particular reason to use ANT 1 and ANT 2 in that order: They just have to be the same for each ODU in the sector. Further, adopting a convention like “ANT 1 is always vertical” avoids mistakes across a large sector.

Aligning HSUs to an HBS Chapter 3

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 3-12

The details are described in the next two steps. “Antenna” refers both to an external antenna and an integrated antenna. The two steps should be carried out for each HSU in the sector.

5. Make a horizontal sweep of 180 degrees with the HSU antenna so that the strongest signal from the HBS can be detected.

6. Slowly turn the HSU antenna back towards the position of the HBS, listening to the tone until the best signal is reached. See the following figure for audible signal variations.

Figure 3-11: Beep Sequence for antenna alignment

7. Secure the HSU antenna to the pole/wall.

Warning

Never stand in front of a live antenna!

Note

• Three beeps and a pause is 'best signal so far'

• Two beeps and a pause is 'signal quality increased'

• One beep and pause is 'no change in signal'

• Long beep and short pause is 'signal quality decreased'

• One beep and a long pause is 'no air link'

• Any other signal does not relate to antenna alignment

Getting Started with the RADWIN Manager

We will look at a preconfigured sector, setup as follows:

 To start the RADWIN Manager:

1. Connect the managing computer to the HBS PoE LAN port.

2. Check that you have connectivity to the HBS ODU. You can do this by opening up a command line session (Start|Run and then type, cmd). At the command prompt, type

Tip

Choose your unit names carefully. For example, for three collocated HBSs each with 16 HSUs covering 360°, matters get out of hand very quickly if units are poorly named. They can always be identified by their IP addresses, but that is a poor substitute for effective naming. A URL -like naming pattern based on HBS_n.HSU_y is clear and familiar to all Internet users.

In a scenario like our example (one HBS, two HSUs) that would have been be unduly complicated and detracting.

The RADWIN Manager log-on Concept Chapter 4

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 4-4

You should see somethi ng like this:

Figure 4-1: Pinging the base station.

Any other response from ping means that the HBS ODU is not responding. Check your Ethernet connection and that both the PoE and ODU are switched on and then try again. If you do not succeed, seek assistance from RADWIN Customer Support.

Pinging the HSUs should yield similar responses.

3. Dismiss the command line session.

The sector level information is shown here. There is nothing that can be changed for an active sector. The parameters are set before the base station is activated and are duplicated for each HSU in the sector.

Figure 4-10: Sector Status panel

The last two items are of special interest: The Status (shown as Active) indicates whether the HBS has been activated or not. The Time Slots bar indicates how many out of 16 time slots, have been allocated to HSUs. Allocation of time slots between HSU provides a basic form of prioritization between them. Normally you would not leave unallocated time slots unless you intended to add more HSUs. Every HSU requires at least one time slot.

The Tx Ratio is not only sector-wide: If you use HSS (Chapter 9) to collocated several HBSs (to cover adjacent sectors), they must all use the same Tx Ratio.

The Rx Rate and Tx Rate are the traffic receive and transmit rates through the HBS ODU under load.

The button bar provides the necessary functionality to configure and manage the HBS.

The foregoing description relates to an activated HBS. The Detail Panel title bar for an inactive HBS looks like this:

The Preferences tabs appearing on both the HBS and HSU relate entirely to the way the Manager displays certain items for the connected unit. They are completely local to the managing computer. They are also functionally identical for both the HBS and HSUs.

Note

Each technician servicing a sector will need to set up his managing computer (typically a laptop) with his own preferences.

Monitor Chapter 4

Monitor

The Monitor file contains a vast amount of information and can become inordinately large very quickly . You should therefore choose a longer sampling interval if you intend to store this information for a lengthy duration.

For the HBS, it will show details for the HBS itself and all registered HSUs. For an HSU, it will record the information just for that HSU. You should use distinctive file

names for HBS and HSU Monitor files. The content of the Monitor file will be discussed in more detail in Chapter 8.

What Comes Next?

The purpose of this chapter was to offer an overview of a running RADWIN 5000 HPMP a sector. The next three chapters will cover respectively, detailed sector setup considerations, sector management and monitoring and diagnostics. The foregoing background should provide sufficient “signposts” to ensure that you do not become lost in the plethora of details required to commission and manage a fully operational sector.

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 5-1

Chapter 5

Installing the Sector

Scope of this Chapter

Chapter 4, offered an overview of a running Sector as motivation for the technical installa-

tion details set out below. Assuming that the Sector equipment is in place as described in earlier chapters, sector instal-

lation 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. 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. In any event, where setup procedures are common we will point them out.

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

At this point, the HBS ODU is in an inactive state, powered up, configurable but not transmitting anything.

Upon activation, the HBS will commence transmitting and receiving packets related to sector management only - that is no service. Activation and Deactivation are effected quite simply by clicking a toggle button.

Assuming that the Sector HSUs are mounted aligned and powered up, the HSUs will dis- cover the HBS establishing links for management only. At this point the HSUs may be managed over the air.

As soon as the HSUs are configured to your satisfaction, you must register them on the HBS. Registration of an HSU enables service traffic between the HSU and the HBS.

During the registration process, you assign time slots to each HSU. A total of 16 time slots are available to each HBS to be distributed among the HSUs in the sector. The relative number of time slots determines the relative amount of service each HSU will receive. Each HSU

Workflow Chapter 5

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.2.00 5-2

receives at least one time slot. To disable an HSU you must deregister it. (A suspend mechanism is also available, to suspend service on an HSU for a limited period.)

For each registered HSU, you can set separately, the uplink and downlink Maximum Infor- mation Rate (MIR) in Mbps or leave it at Best Effort.

You may also manage an HSU Connection table to enable and disable connectivity between HSUs in a sector.

Workflow

In this chapter, we assume that you are familiar with the material of Chapter 4. W e will concentrate on setup workflow assuming that you are familiar with GUI.

Prior to commencing, you should have written sector plan along the lines of Table 5-2.

The default log-on IP address for all ODUs in the sector is the same: 10.0.0.120, Subnet Mask

255.0.0.0 and default gateway 0.0.0.0. To get the process started, set up the IP address on the network card on the managing computer to something like 10.0.0.100, Subnet Mask

255.255.255.0 and Default Gateway 0.0.0.0. Ensure that you have a direct LAN connection to the ODU, run the RADWIN Manager and log-

on to it.

Figure 5-1: Logging on with factory default IP address

Alternatively, you can log on using Local Connection without need to change your Network Interface Card address:

Tip

In a scenario like our example (one HBS, two HSUs) that would have been be unduly complicated and detracting.

Figure 5-2: Logging on with Local Connection

Here is the main display:

Warning

•The Local Connection method uses broadcast packets to “discov er” the attached ODU

• If you log on using Local Connection, but your physical connection is not local (i.e. anything other than a direct connection between the managing computer and the IDU), then any configuration you carry out may affect other links in the network. Do not do this!

•Do not carry out this procedure using a multi homed managing com- puter also connected to a network. It will flood the network with broadcast packets. Further, it will throw any other links on the network into Installation or Inactive mode.

• Network log on (IP address to the ODU) is recommended.

Managing the Sector

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 7.

A Configuration window is available for both th e HBS and the HSUs to change setting without necessarily dropping service. Nevertheless care must be exercised when changing them. By way of example, changing an IP address will possibly make a unit unreachable. It is necessary however to have this function in the Configuration window since it is required to initially set up the unit.

The HBS itself may be configured over-the-air: A scenario for this is where the sector is backhauled by on of the HSUs. There are no significant differences between the two methods, however some care is required. If for example, you deactivate the HBS over-the-air, you will lock yourself out of the sector.

Running Spectrum View from the HBS manager over-the-air, will lock you out for the duration of the Spectrum View timeout period.

Tx and Antenna

This tab is available for both the HBS and HSUs. It has the same meaning in both cases.

For the HBS, changes made here may affect link quality and in the case of antenna type, cause a sector re-sync.

Changing the antenna type for an HSU will cause a re-sync to that site only.
