Features

Wireless Link

WinLink 1000 delivers up to 48 Mbps data rate for Ethernet and E1/T1 traffic. The system supports a variety of spectrum bands and can be configured to operate in any channel on the band with a carrier step resolution of 5 MHz.

WinLink 1000 operation complies with ETSI, CSA and the FCC 47CFR Part 15 and subpart C and E requirements.

WinLink 1000 employs Time Division Duplex (TDD) transmission. This technology simplifies the installation and configuration procedure. There is no need to plan and to allocate separate channels for the uplink and downlink data streams. Operation over 2.4GHz, 4.9 GHz, and 5.x GHz bands is not affected by harsh weather conditions, such as fog, heavy rain etc.

LAN Interface

The WinLink 1000 LAN port provides 10/100BaseT interfaces with auto negotiation and transparent VLAN support. Traffic handling is provided by a MAC-level self-learning bridge.

TDM Interface

The WinLink 1000 TDM interface accepts E1 or T1 traffic, supporting the following:

• Unframed operation (E1 and T1)

• AMI and B8ZS zero suppression (T1).

Management

WinLink 1000 has full local and remote management capabilities. The user-friendly SNMP-based management tool provides full end-to-end configuration, event log and performance monitoring capabilities.

Diagnostics and Performance Monitoring

WinLink 1000 supports activating local and remote loopbacks on E1/T1 links.

1-2 Overview

WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

WinLink 1000 constantly monitors the data transmission process, evaluates received signal strength, and signal quality. It also monitors received traffic and frame rate (FPS) for local and remote units.

Optional External Antenna

WinLink 1000 supports configuration of an external antennae. In this configuration, the radio supplies an N-type connector that connects through a coax cable to the external antenna.

An external antenna can extend the range of the link, and in some cases, it might help to reduce environmental interferences. Various external antennae are available for the WinLink 1000 operating frequencies.

For example, an optional flat panel 28 dBi external antenna increases the operation range of WinLink 1000 up to 80 km (50 miles).

5.5 Frequently Asked Questions

Air Interface

Q: What performance issues will arise due to environmental conditions?

A: The WinLink 1000 is not sensitive to environmental conditions. However if heavy rain or snowfall is expected we can ensure the performance by allowing a higher fade margin in the budget link planning calculations.

Q: When using the WinLink 1000, what is the potential for interference between our system and other cellular or wireless Networks devices?

A: The WinLink 1000 is a robust system. However, since it operates in unlicensed band, there maybe some interference. Nevertheless, the fact that we can manually set the frequency gives us the flexibility to find a clear channel. In addition each WinLink 1000 link uses unique user configurable SSID code.

Q: What protocol does the WinLink 1000 use, i.e. 802.11?

A: WinLink 1000 uses a proprietary protocol; this protocol contains improved options that more efficiently support the clock reconstruction from the TDM services.

Q: What type of security is offered on the WinLink 1000?

A: The WinLink 1000 has two levels of security:

 Each unit uses a unique SSID - link specific code (up to 24

alphanumeric characters)

 Proprietary protocol protects from eavesdropping from other

systems.

Q: Can we use horizontal and vertical polarization on the same frequency to double the number of wireless links?

A: Installing two WinLink 1000 systems in the same band with cross polarization provides 20–25 dB separations. Nevertheless, since there are reflections, the cross polarization separation is decreased and spatial separation is recommended.

5-8 Frequently Asked Questions

WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 5 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

Q: In BAND C, can you add the frequency of 5.735 to the manual selection in order to increase the number of 20 MHz channels to six?

A: Currently the system provides 5 fixed channels. Yet, the manual frequency setting provides more flexibility of spectrum selection, including 5.735 MHz.

Q: Can I use the WinLink 1000 with any vendor external antenna?

A: Yes. RADWin supplies the WinLink 1000 external ODU with an Ntype typical connector. Any vendor external antenna that can be cascaded to our external unit can be use without problem. Please note that dB losses in the cascading cable between the external ODU and antenna should be taken into consideration. (In the supplied cascading cable of one meter we have 1 dB loss)

Q: Do we need to add external arrestors on WinLink 1000 cables?

Management

A: The WinLink ODU includes arrestors and lightning protection. Therefore there is no need to add additional arrestors.

Q: What is the sensitivity for each rate of the WinLink 1000?

A: The sensitivities are:

 Rate 12 Mbps -84 dB  Rate 18 Mbps -81 dB  Rate 36 Mbps -74 dB  Rate 48 Mbps -68 dB

Q: Does WinLink 1000 use DSSS technique?

A: No, WinLink 1000 uses the advanced OFDM technique.

Q: Can we mange WinLink 1000 using SNMP other then the supplied management software that comes with the units?

A: Yes. The WinLink 1000 is SNMP based, when using other SNMP software, and after implementing RADWin MIB’s, the WinLink 1000 can be managed.

Q: Can WinLink 1000 be managed and configured via Telnet?

A: No. Use only the WinLink software manager.

Link Budget Calculator

C.1 Overview

The Link Budget Calculator is a utility for calculating the expected performance of the WinLink wireless link and the possible configurations for a specific link range.

The utility allows you to calculate the expected RSS of the link, and find the type of services and their effective throughput as a function of the link range and deployment conditions.

The Link Budget Calculator is supplied on the WinLink Manager CD. After installation, it may also be accessed from the menu bar of the WinLink Manager (see

Figure C-1).

WinLink 1000 Link Budget Calculator

Note

Figure C-2. Link Budget Screen

To calculate the link budget

1. Select your WinLink system product from the dropdown list of

products.

2. Select the rate from the dropdown list. The rate defines the air-

interface rate in Mbps. The system operates in TDD mode and has overhead of the air-interface protocol and therefore the accurate actual throughput is provided in the ‘Service’ Row and the effective Ethernet throughput is provided in the ‘Ethernet Rate’.

Throughput can be decreased as a function of range due to propagation delay.

The remaining fields are completed automatically depending on the product selected in the product field. Standard WinLink system parameters are entered as default. Fields in blue boxes may be edited if non-standard antennas and cables are used.

The Fade margin is the minimum margin that is required for LOS conditions. For degraded link conditions, a larger fade margin should be taken into account.

TDM Clock Configuration

D.1 Overview

This appendix describes the WINLink 1000 TDM clock configuration. The following picture describes the E1 or T1 service configuration.

Figure D-1. E1 or T1 service configuration

D.2 External clock requirements

WINLink 1000 system assumes that all external equipments connected to a single site use the same transmit clock. In the picture above, E1 – 1 in (site A) and E1 – 2 in (site A) must use the same clock. E1 – 1 in (site B) and E1 – 2 in (site B) must also use the same clock, but this clock can be a different clock that used in site A. The system automatically selects a specific trunk for clocking according to the rules described below.

External clock requirements D-1

TDM Clock Configuration WinLink 1000

D.3 Clock selection

WINLink 1000 automatically selects a single trunk for the timing. The trunk is selected according to the following rules:

• Smaller trunk number

• Both ends line state is in Normal

• Each line state change in the selected trunk re-triggers a new

clock selection according the above rules.

If the selected trunk is in Los of Signal state, the WINLink 1000 uses its internal clock.

There are two methods to configure the user equipment.

• Master / Slave mode – One of the sites is defined as the clock

master while the other site is configured as a time loop (received clock)

• Independent (Plesynchronous) Mode – Each site is configured as

timing Master

In both user configurations WINLink 1000 system re-generates the selected

clock of the opposite site and use it as the

trunks.

In case that there is no

clock in the selected trunk, WINLink 1000 use its internal clock (and re-generate it in the opposite site as an clock).

Note

It is user responsibility to verify that all IN clocks of a site are derived from a single clock source.

D.4 Behavior in fault configuration

Where there are different transmit clocks at the external equipments of the same site, pattern slips are expected. The pattern slip rate is proportional to the clock difference. For example if in site A E1 – 1 in clock is 2.048 Mb/s and E1 – 2 in clock is 2.048 Mb/s + 1 PPM and all trunks are in normal state, a pattern slip of up to 2000 bits is expected in trunk 2 every 1000 seconds.

OUT

D-2 Behavior in fault configuration

WinLink 1000 TDM Clock Configuration

Example 1

Site A clocks: E1-1 IN and E1-2 IN differ, and all trunks are in normal condition, WINLink 1000 shall use trunk 1 for the timing and the second trunk shall experience pattern slips (the rate of the pattern slips is dependent on the ratio between the different clocks)

Example 2

Trunk 1 is disconnected and trunk 2 is in normal condition. WINLink 1000 shall select trunk 2 for clock timing. Since trunk 1 is disconnected it uses an internal clock as an input clock. The OUT clock of both trunks is the re-generated clock IN 2, and therefore WINLink 1000 shall display error blocks on clock 1 (represents the clock difference between the internal clock and the IN 2 clock).
