2 Installing the Radio Link
This chapter describes how to install and perform the basic setup of a radio link,
including:
Preparing the site
Package content
Unpacking the radio
Required tools
Preparing for installation
Installing the Radio
o With 0.5ft/1ft antenna
o With 2ft antenna
Connecting the cables
System LEDs
Aligning the antenna
Link up verification
The installation of the radio link should be followed by initial system setup that will be
described in the next chapter.
Caution:
The installation and maintenance of the radios should only be done by service
personnel who are properly trained and certified to carry out such activities.
Caution:
It is the responsibility of the installer to insure 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 in accordance to
FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204.
2.1 Preparing the Site
Carefully select and prepare each radio site to make device installation and
configuration as simple and trouble-free as possible. During site selection and
preparation, always consider the long-term needs of both your network and your
applications.
Page 18
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 18
2.1.1 Physical and Environmental Requirements
Each radio site should adhere to the following requirements:
There must be a clear, unobstructed line-of-sight between radios.
The radio should be mounted on a fixed, stable, permanent structure. A
reinforced steel mounting pole is required, with a diameter measuring from
2-4 inches (0.5ft, 1ft antenna) or 2-4.5 inches (2ft antenna).
Caution:
Do not mount the radio on a structure that is temporary or easily moved. Doing so
may result in poor service or equipment damage.
You must mount the radio in a site that is easily accessible to authorized
personnel, and only authorized personnel.
Operating temperature: between -45° and +55°C.
Relative humidity: 0 to 100%.
Maximum altitude: 4,500m.
Ingress Protection rating: IP67.
2.1.2 Cabling Requirements
Ensure that your power connection cable matches the radio’s power
connector pin-outs.
Install the radio where network connections are ready for operation and
easily accessible.
All cabling connected to the radio should be outdoor-grade, with UV
protection.
You should use shielded outdoor Cat5e cables (for 1GE port) or Cat6 (for
10GE port) terminated with metallic RJ45 connectors.
In order to protect indoor equipment, you must install surge protection
circuits on all copper cables on their entrance to the building.
Install the radio in a location where proper electrical outdoor grounding is
readily available. Typically, the grounding connection is attached directly to
the mounting pole. If not already present, then suitable structure-to-earth
grounding connections must be arranged before installation. Ground the
radio using a minimum quantity of 16AWG grounding cable or according to
local electrical code.
Page 19
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 19
Caution:
Improper electrical grounding can result in excessive electromagnetic interference or
electrical discharge.
This equipment must be permanently earthed for protection and functional
purposes. To make a protective earth connection, use the grounding point located on
the radio using a minimum amount of 16AWG grounding cable or according to local
electrical code.
Siklu will not be held responsible for any malfunction or damage in the event that the
radio is not properly grounded.

2.8.1 Power Supply Notes
2.8.1.1 DC Power
The DC power input range of the radio is 42 - 57 VDC.
The DC supply should be limited to 2A to avoid surges and possible damage to
the radio. For that, use limited power supply or circuit breaker (fast-blow fuse).
The circuit breaker is the disconnecting device, and should be readily accessible.
Page 27
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 27
When connecting the radio to a MAINS DC distribution system, use a 2A circuit
breaker to enable the central DC system to isolate the radio in an emergency
case.
Use one poly circuit breaker and should connect it on the live voltage: (+) or ( -).
The other poly should be grounded.
Connect the circuit breaker to the (+) or (-) live voltage.
The DC input is floating, so either (+) or (-) can be connected to the GND on the
power supply side. For the sake of consistency with other systems, we
recommend that you connect the (+) to the GND.
Use a two-wire cable (14-18 AWG) to connect the power supply to the radio. On
the radio DC terminal, connect the (+) and (-) wires to the correct ports.
Caution:
Use DC power supply which is safety approved to UL/EN/IEC 60950-1 with rated
voltage of 42-57 VDC and rated current of 2A max
Figure 2-8 DC Terminal Block
Use screwdriver to tight and lock the connector’s locking bolts.
2.8.1.2 PoE Power
Connect Power over Ethernet (PoE) to port Eth1 only.
The PoE power range of the unit is 42-57V.
The power source should be limited to 1.4A to avoid surges and possible damage
to the radio.
Caution:
Use a PoE power supply which is safety approved to UL/EN/IEC 60950-1 as a limited
power source (LPS) with rated voltage of 42-57 VDC and rated current of 1.4A max
Page 28
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 28
Caution:
This system may have more than one power supply cable. To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, a trained service technician may need to disconnect all power supply
cables before servicing the system.
2.8.2 Grounding the Radio
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the ground outlet on the left side of
the radio using the grounding cable lug.
2. Tighten the lug securely in place.
3. Connect the opposite end of the grounding cable to the earth connection,
typically located on the mounting pole. If the earth connection is out of reach of
the grounding cable, install an alternative cable.
To make a protective earth connection, use the grounding point located on the System
radio using a minimum amount of 16AWG grounding cable or according to local
electrical code.
It is recommended to use Lightning Surge Protector on every Ethernet cable to protect
the indoor networking equipment. The Lightning Surge Arrestor should be installed
indoor next to the cable’s point-of-entry and should be properly grounded.
Page 29
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 29
Figure 2-9 Grounding Scheme
Caution:
Improper electrical grounding can result in excessive electromagnetic interference or
electrical discharge.
This equipment must be permanently earthed for protection and functional
purposes. To make a protective earth connection, use the grounding point located on
the radio using a minimum amount of 16AWG grounding cable or according to local
electrical code.
Siklu will not be held responsible for any malfunction or damage in the event that the
radio is not properly grounded.
2.8.3 Preparing the Cables
Before inserting the cable connector into the radio, you must first enclose the cable
connector in a protective All-Weather shell. Three sets of All-Weather shells are
provided with the radio for the radio interfaces.
The provided protective All-Weather Shells fit cables from 3.5mm to 9.0mm diameter.
Page 30
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 30
1. Thread the cable and tight the shell to the radio firmly by hand (do not use
tools).
2. Insert the rubber gasket snugly and tight the connector lock
3. When removing the All-Weather Shell, unlock the gland first before removing
the shell.
Figure 2-10 All-Weather Connecting Cable Shell Assembly
2.8.4 Powering up the Radio
1. Connect power cable (DC or PoE)
2. Insert the power connector into the port. The PWR LED color indicator turn s red
for one second, then blinks green indicating that the radio is powered on.
3. Wait for the radio to boot up (about 90 seconds). When the radio is fully
booted, the PWR LED color indicator turns green (during power-up the PWR LED
blinks green) and the RF LED color indicator turns off, indicating that the link is
down.
Note:
The radio supports power backup – connecting both PoE and DC feed (for hotstandby resiliency). In case both feeds are available, the radio will use the power
source with higher voltage.

2.10 Aligning the Antenna
For optimal radio link performance, antennas must be accurately aligned. In order to
align the antennas, perform first coarse alignment of each antenna, followed by fine
alignment. Accurate alignment of the antennas is critical for achieving the strongest
possible receive signal.
To perform antenna alignment, the radio must be in Alignment mode.
The radio has three modes of operation:
Alignment – Carrier Wave transmission. Used for antenna alignment.
Adaptive – Operational mode used with adaptive bandwidth, code, and
modulation.
Static – Operational mode used with a fixed modulation profile.
Radios are shipped from the factory in Adaptive mode.
2.10.1 Switching the Radio to Alignment Mode
Switch the radios to Alignment mode by inserting the DVM probes into the AUX
Interface sockets. The RF LED color indicator turns orange, indicating the radio is in
Alignment mode.
The radio remains in Alignment mode even if the DVM probes are ejected, until the
radio is rebooted.
You can also switch the radio to and from alignment mode using management
commands (web GUI or CLI).
2.10.2 Performing the Alignment
Note:
The following instructions detail the alignment steps of 0.5/1ft antenna and refer to
Figure 2-3 1ft Mounting Kit Components.
1. Verify that the radio is in Alignment Mode.
Coarse Alignment (Azimuth Only)
2. Loosen the unit mounting bolts () slightly to allow the radio some freedom of
movement.
3. Perform coarse alignment using a line-of-sight visual check with the remote
radio. Lock the unit mounting bolts () using the 13mm open wrench.
4. Repeat steps 0 to 3 above on the remote radio.
Page 32
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 32
Note:
You can use the visual alignment tool that can be found in the 1ft antenna box for
coarse alignment. Attach it to the antenna and align the antenna untill the remote
antenna can be seen in the center of the eyepiece.
Figure 2-11 1ft Antenna Visual Alignment Tool
Fine Alignment
Note:
When aligning an antenna, the antenna in the remote node must remain stationary.
Perform Fine alignment first on the local antenna, and only afterwards on the remote
antenna.
The optimum alignment may require several adjustment iterations between the local
and remote antennas.
5. Connect the DVM to the radio by inserting both red and black probes into their
appropriate positions in the AUX port.
Throughout the alignment procedure, you must compare the actual receive
signal strength indication (RSSI) to the expected RSSI that was calculated during
network link budget preparation (refer to Preparing for Installation on page 20).
Read the receive level (RSSI) using the DVM. The voltage reading will be
between 0 to 1V, indicating the RSSI in dBms. For example, a DVM reading of
0.45V is equivalent to -45 dBm.
Page 33
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 33
6. Align the fine Azimuth axis. Use the hexagonal wrench to adjust the Azimuth fine
adjustment screw (). Be sure to sweep the complete range of the Azimuth in
order to determine the maximum received signal strength position.
When the optimum axis is achieved, tighten both Azimuth adjustment lock bolts
().
7. Align the fine elevation axis. Use the hexagonal wrench to adjust the elevation
fine adjustment screw (). Be sure to sweep the complete range of the
elevation in order to determine the maximum received signal strength position.
When the optimum axis is achieved, tighten both elevation adjustment lock
bolts ().
8. Perform steps 6 and 7 for the remote radio.
9. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the local radio and so on until optimum achieved.
10. Use the DVM to verify maximum received signal strength on both local and
remote radios. For best performance, measured RSSI should be within ±4 dB of
the calculated value.
11. Once the optimum position has been achieved for the link, tighten the Azimuth
adjustment lock bolts () on one radio (torque of 8 Nm), being very careful not
to move the radio while tightening.
12. Tightening the Azimuth adjustment lock bolts will tilt the radio, so realign the
elevation again for optimum position.
13. Once the optimum position has been achieved for the radio pair, tighten the
elevation adjustment lock bolts () on the radio (torque of 8 Nm), being very
careful not to move the radio when tightening.
14. Repeat steps 11 through 13 for the second radio.
15. Use the DVM to verify that the received signal strength has not changed on
either the local or the remote radio after final tightening of the brackets.
Antenna alignment is now complete.
Note:
Valid RSSI reading during alignment is available up to an RSSI value of -30dBm
(overload threshold). When operating short links (or using large antennas to achieve
high availability) resulting in expected RSSI higher than -30dBm, RSSI reading may not
be accurate due to saturation.
In such case, it is recommended to connect to the radio and switch both sides to
Short Range. Short Range mode allows the radio to work with higher RSSI levels (up
to about -25dBm), compared to the typical overload threshold of -30dBm.
In case expected RSSI is higher than -25dBm, adjust the Tx power until RSSI is -25dBm
and only then align the antennas.

2.11 Link Up Verification
1. Disconnect the DVM probes.
2. Reboot both radios by shortly pressing the Reset Button or alternatively
disconnect/reconnect the power.
3. This action will switch the radios back to Adaptive Mode (radio’s default
operational mode). Following this action, and after the radio has finished
booting, the RF LED color indicator on both radios will turn Green, indicating
that the radio link is up.
The radio link can now pass traffic between ports and over the radio link.

Use the Quick Configuration wizard to configure the basic system parameters for both
local and remote systems. It holds the basic minimal configuration required to start
using the link.
The Quick Configuration wizard should be used for the initial system setup after
installation. For monitoring and advanced configuration, please refer to the dedicated
configuration pages of the Web-Based Management.
3.5 General Configuration Commands
3.5.1 Apply
Any configuration change is executed upon clicking Apply.
The Local-Remote concept of the Web-Based Management allows configuring both local
and remote systems of the link.
The Apply button is available at the bottom of each configuration page (one button for
both local and remote systems).
When clicking Apply, the configuration changes will be sent to remote system first and
then to the local system. If multiple parameters changed on the page before clicking
Note:
Actual Layer 1 throughput depends on product's specs. Refer to the product’s
Release Notes for exact specifications.
Note:
To view logs, pop-ups must be enabled and allowed on your Internet Browser.

Page 40
Apply, all parameters are sent in bulk to the system and then executed locally in order
to avoid losing management connection.
3.5.2 Save Configuration
Any configuration change applied should be saved using the Save Configuration
button.
The system has two configuration banks:
1. Running Configuration – the currently active configuration. Every time Apply is
clicked, the Running Configuration is updated.
2. Startup Configuration – the configuration the system will come up with after the
next reboot. This configuration may be different than the currently active
configuration (Running Configuration).
In order to save the applied configuration changes, click Save Configuration so
changes will be saved to the startup configuration. If changes are not saved to the
startup configuration, they will be lost the next time the system reboots.
Save Configuration buttons are available for local and remote systems.
A Save icon is displayed on the all Web-Management pages, as a reminder, in case
configuration changes were made and not saved.
3.5.3 Rollback
A safety measure that allows recovering from system configuration changes that caused
loss of communication.
When Rollback is used, a timer runs (and restarts) whenever a management (or CLI)
command is entered. In the event that no command is entered within the timeout
period, the system automatically reboots and comes up with the saved startup
configuration.
A Rollback timeout is especially recommended when configuring remote elements that
are being managed over the link.
Rollback is activated for both local and remote systems.
3.5.4 Reboot
Separate buttons for local and remote reboot. The system will power off and then on
and come up after initialization (~90 seconds).
Note that any unsaved changes will be lost.

3.6 Copy To Remote
You can find the Copy To Remote button next to some configuration parameters or
sections. This function copies configuration to remote system based on the changes on
the local system.
Figure 3-5 Copy To-Remote icon
Matching configuration may be of two types:
Identical configuration – exactly same configuration will be copied from the
local to remote system. It can be found for parameters that normally
requires identical configuration for both local and remote units.
For example, Mode configuration.
Matching configuration – for parameters that require matching but
opposite configuration.
For example: transmit frequency where Tx(local)=Rx(remote) and
Rx(local)=Tx(remote).

o Static – Fixed modulation profile. If you select Static, you must select from a
list of pre–configured modulation profiles in the Modulation field.
o Adaptive – Adaptive Bandwidth, Code, and Modulation.
The radio will work on the highest modulation profile based on the CINR
values of the both sides and will present the current modulation profile.
Adaptive mode is the normal and recommended mode of the radio link.
Note:
Adjust Tx Power so the RSSI at the remote end will not exceed -305dBm (overload
threshold).
Refer to the note below (Advanced Settings) regarding short range mode in case RSSI
exceeds -30dBm even after adjusting Tx power to the minimum.
Note:
When exiting Alignment mode, perform system reboot to allow proper operation of
the radio link.

mode (by configuration or by inserting DVM probes).
4.2 Advanced Settings
Figure 4-3 Radio Page: Advanced Settings
This section allows configuring the following parameters (options availability depends
on model):
ATPC – Automatic Transmit Power Control adjusts transmitter output power of
the local system based on the varying signal level at the remote receiver.
Note that ATPC support depends on product’s specs and SW release.
ATPC allows the transmitter to operate at less than maximum power for most of the
time and when fading conditions occur, transmit power will be increased as needed
until the maximum configured value is reached. ATPC messages are carried over the
radio over radio communication channel.
The purpose of ATPC is a) to reduce interference to other radios operation in the
same channel/band and to allow better frequency reuse; and b) to reduce
transmitter power consumption and prolong system’s components life.
ATPC is supplementary to adaptive modulation and works before adaptive
modulation changes modulation profiles.
Interference avoidance algorithm is implemented in order to overcome the main
drawback of use of ATPC: interference from other links that may degrade the radio
link performance. Besides setting the Target RSSI, the user can also set the Target
Note:
When changing Radio parameters of the link (like Mode, frequency…) the link will go
down and come up within couple of minutes.

CINR that will notify the remote transmitter to increase its Tx power to maintain
CINR is above the threshold set.
Mode of operation: the local system compares the actual received RSSI to the ATPC
Target RSSI. If the difference in values is 2dB or higher (Delta=>2dB), a message to
remote transmitter will be sent, asking to change its Tx power.
The Tx power can be changed the system's configured Tx power down to the ATPC
Min Tx Power that was configured.
Configuration options:
o Checkbox to enable the ATPC operation.
o ATPC Target RSSI – allowed values -35 to -70 dBm (default -35 dBm).
o ATPC Min Tx Power – allowed values -35 to 0 dBm (default -35 dBm).
o Min CINR – allowed values -128 to 128 dB (default -128 dB).
Lowest Modulation – Lowest modulation profile. When modulation drops below
this threshold, radio link will be down. It is used to limit the minimal modulation
profile of the link. Default is BPSK 1 (lowest available).
4.3 Maintenance
Figure 4-4 Radio Page: Maintenance
This section allows configuring the following parameters:
RF Loopback – checkbox to enable the internal RF loopback, set the timeout for
clearing the loopback in seconds and select the modulation the ODU will be
tested at.
Note:
ATPC does not provide immunity from saturation. If running very short link, first
reduce Tx power so RSSI does not exceed -35dBm and then enable ATPC.
Page 46
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 46
Note that it will take the ODU to stabilize after loopback up to 3 minutes so set the
loopback timeout accordingly (recommended 600 seconds).
Mute remote transmitter first to avoid interference with the loopback operation.
Refer to the Diagnostics chapter of this manual for detailed description of the
system’s loopbacks.
Mute – checkbox to mute the transmitter with timeout in seconds. When
muted, the ODU will not transmit.
4.4 Modulation Table
Figure 4-5 Radio Page: Modulation Table
The modulation table presents the available modulation profiles. The radio can be
configured only to one of the profiles available in the table.
CINR Low – Lower threshold for stepping down in modulation profile (Adaptive
Mode).
CINR High – Upper threshold for stepping up in modulation profile (Adaptive
Mode).
Note that different modulation tables may apply according to product used.
The modulation profiles and thresholds are optimized and cannot be modified.
Note:
Loopback is performed with MAC addresses swap (swapping DA and SA) for the
address specified only. All other MAC addresses not looped.

opened with any text editor. The license file name will always be
<system_serial_number>.lic.
The license upgrade is done using HTTP or an external FTP/TFTP/SFTP server. Refer to
server's configuration as defined in the File Transfer section.
The license upgrade process consists of 2 steps:
1) Download. Transferring the new license file to the system.
2) Enable. Enabling the license components. Note that if you restore factory
default configuration, the system will come up with the available license
components enabled.
The system supports temporary license that is available for 30 days. Once enabled, a
countdown timer will run as long as the system is powered up. When timer expires, the
system will reboot and come up with data rate /functionality based on the available
license.
The temporary license can be enabled/disabled for each license component indiv idually.
Caution:
Use temporary license with caution and do not forget to apply permamnent license.
If the 30 day expire before adding permamnent license, link might go down or sume
essential functionality, controlled by license, will be disabled, what might impair
service.
The Licensing section displays the current configuration of the license components

For password strength enforcement.
This section allows configuring the following parameters:
Password Min Length - minimum password length (0 to 16 characters). Default is
8.
Password Min Difference - minimum password difference between characters (0
to 5). Default is 1.
7.5 LLDP
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a unidirectional neighbor discovery protocol
(as per IEEE 802.1AB).
LLDP performs periodic transmissions of the system's capabilities to the connected
stations. LLDP frames are not forwarded, but are constrained to a single link. The
information distributed by the protocol is stored in a topology data base. This
information can be retrieved by the user in order to easily resolve the network’s
physical topology and its associated stations.
LLDP enables the discovery of accurate physical network topologies, meaning which
devices are neighbors and through which ports they connect. It enables the system to
discover other network elements that are connected to it, including the discovery of
third-party network elements, and enables easier integration of slinks in an LLDP
supported networks.
Note that LLDP support depends on product’s specs and SW release.
7.5.1 LLDP Configuration
Figure 7-14 Network Page: LLDP Configuration
LLDP can be configured for each one of the Ethernet ports, including the radio port
(Eth0). LLDP information may be sent over VLAN or without VLAN (untagged).
This section allows configuring the following parameters:
Port – Eth0 (RF), Eth1 (1GE), Eth2 (10GE)
Config – enabling LLDP on the port. Select rx-tx to enable LLDP. Note that you
may work with uni-directional LLDP by selecting rx or tx only.
Page 71
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 71
VID – VLAN ID that LLDP messages will be sent on. Default is none (untagged).
IP Index – Lowest, Highest or IP index (1-4). The IP address the system will
respond with in the LLDP information reply. Default is Highest.
7.5.2 LLDP Status
Figure 7-15 Network Page: LLDP Status
This section displays the information received from the peer device:
Chassis ID – displays the IP address (network address, typically refer to IP #1) of
remote device
Chassis ID Subtype – will be 'network-addr'
Port ID – displays the received MAC address
Port ID Subtype – will be 'mac-addr'
Port Description – The port connected at the peer device
System Name – of peer device
System Description – of peer device
Mng. Address – IP address that peer device reports. As there can be multiple IP
addresses, the device reports the IP address according to LLDP
Configuration: IP Index configured above.
Note:
By default, LLDP is enabled on the radio port (Eth0) and disabled on all line Ethernet
ports).
Disabling LLDP on all ports including the radio, will pass LLDP packets transparently
over the radio.

8 Ethernet Services Configuration and Monitoring
The Ethernet services (VLAN and bridge settings) parameters and monitoring are
provisioned in the Services page.
This chapter includes the following topics:
Bridge Architecture
Bridge Ports
Bridge Rules (Egress)
Maintenance
CLI Commands
Note that the following functionality, including S-VLAN support and Bridge Rules
support depends on product’s specs and SW release.
Refer to the products’s release notes for details.
Figure 8-1 Services Page: Settings
8.1 Bridge Architecture
The system incorporates a fully functional integrated Provider Bridge (IEEE 802.1ad).
Provider Bridge, commonly known as Q in Q, extends the IEEE 802.1Q standard by
providing for a second stack of VLANs in a bridged network. The general purpose of
Provider Bridge is to enable frames from multiple customers to be forwarded (or
tunneled) through another topology (provider network) using Service VLANs (S-VLAN).
Page 76
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 76
The provider bridge, which may consist of multiple devices in the service provider
domain, looks like a simple bridge port to the customer’s traffic and maintains the
Customer’s VLANs (C-VLAN).
The implementation of the bridge is a network of virtual bridges connected in a “crosslike” fashion. Each on of the ports acts as a virtual bridge and its type can be set
Customer (for C-VLANs) or Provider (for S-VLANs).
The default bridge architecture is transparent bridge, meaning all traffic will be
forwarded between all ports.
8.2 Bridge Ports
Figure 8-2 Bridge Ports Settings
Port:
The radio has the following bridge ports (corresponding to the system’s interfaces):
Host – Management interface (internal bridge port)
Eth0 – Radio (RF) interface (internal bridge port)
Eth1 – Line interface, 1GE port
Eth2 – Line interface, 10GE combo ports (refer to the active port of the two)
o RJ45 electrical (802.3an/bz)
o SFP+ optical (SM or MM)
Port Type:
Provider – port type that handles traffic tagged with S-VLANs.
Customer – port type that handles traffic tagged with C-VLANs. This is the
default port type of all the ports.
VLANs
Page 77
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 77
The bridge settings for ALL VLANs (tagged and untagged traffic) or List of specific VLANs.
Refers to C-VLANs when Port Type = Customer and to S-VLANs when Port Type =
Provider.
When selecting List, you may enter specific VLANs or range of VLANs separated by
comma. Enter ‘untagged’ if you want to allow untagged traffic on the port. All other
VLANs not specified will not be allowed on this port.
PVID
A VLAN ID which will be assigned to an untagged frame or a priority-tagged frame, (the
VID is set to 0 indicating that the frame does not belong to any VLAN and only PCP field
is relevant), which enters to the bridge through this port.
8.3 Bridge Rules
Figure 8-3 Bridge Rule
Bridge rules allow you to manipulate the egress VLAN settings for each port.
Rule Type = Add
A specific VLAN ID will be added to the received frame. Classify VLANs is used to add
different VLAN ID based on the received VLAN (C-VLANs only).
Page 78
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 78
Classify VLAN options:
All – S-VLAN will be added on egrees to all received C-VLANs.
Untagged – VLAN will be added to untagged frames.
List – S-VLAN will be added to all listed C-VLANs.
Undef – S-VLAN will be added to all C-VLANs that do not have a specifc
bridge rule.
Rule Type = Translate
Allows stranslating specific VLAN or list of VLANs and replacing them with another
VLAN.

9 Administration
This chapter describes the system's administration capabilities and procedures and
includes the following topics:
Users Administration
SNMPv3 Users Configuration
Zero-Touch Configuration
Monitoring CLI Login Sessions
DHCP Relay (Option 82)
9.1 TACACS+/RADIUS Users Administration
The system supports both internal user management and external Radius or TACACS
server.
To administrate users, refer to the Users Administration section in the Network Page.
The page will be updated based on the selected Authentication Mode.
For internal user management (standard user/passwords that are configured in the
device), select Local as the Authentication Mode.
Local users administration (default mode) is described in the to the Users Administration
section under Network Configuration and Monitoring chapter of this manual.
9.1.1 AAA Description
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) and TACACS+ (Terminal Access
Controller Access-Control System) are AAA mechanisms.
Authentication: Identification of requester profile (username, password, and
privilege level) on a per-request basis.
Authorization: Permission/denial of access to a subset of commands subject to
authentication success/failure. (The mechanisms of Authorization and
authentication are independent of each other.)
Accounting: Reporting of information on requesters (identities, number of
access attempts per requester, start and stop times, executed commands, etc.)
The system is a Network Access Server (NAS) for requesters and functions as AAA client
passing requester information (e.g. username, password, etc.). The AAA Server is
responsible for receiving connection requests, authenticating or disqualifying the
requester, and sending the permit or denies response to the client. Communication
between the system and the AAA Server are permitted by shared secrets which are
never sent over the network. In addition, every administrator password is encrypte d
Page 81
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 81
before it is sent between the system and the AAA Server in order to prevent
deciphering.
The AAA Server can also provide accounting of requester commands and of changes in
authorization level. This information is recorded in a special log file that enabl es a
supervisor to view the activities of all the administrators. Accounting can include logging
of commands or logging of transitions from one mode to another.
The system supports authentication with up to five TACACS+ or Radius AAA servers.
9.1.2 Authentication Modes
Three Authentication modes supported:
Local – Users configured in system, including name, password and type.
Tacacs – Users configured in the AAA Tacacs server. Only Admin user configured
in system.
Radius – Users configured in the AAA Radius server. Only Admin user configured
in system.
Every change in the Auth-mode deletes all users (except for the admin user) and
configured servers.
Communication between the system and the AAA servers is done over shares secret.
9.1.3 TACACS Authentication Mode
Figure 9-1 Network Page: Users Administration – TACACS
Page 82
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 82
Only admin user is defined in the system. All other users (including their name,
password and type) are defined in the server.
Note that local admin access will always be available (regardless of the connectivity to
the AAA server).
This section allows configuring the following parameters:
Authentication Mode – Tacacs.
Shared Secret – In Radius or Tacacs mode, Shared Secret should be entered
(identical to the one in the server). Note that is using more than one AAA server,
the servers should have the same Shared Secret.
# - Server index. Up to 5 servers can be configured. The Authentication starts
from the 1st server and goes down to the 5th.
IP Address – of the AAA server.
Protocol Port – the default port for Tacacs is 49.
Accounting Port – none, SSH, HTTP, all.
Dummy Authentication is used for sanity check (connectivity test) to the AAA server.
If the AAA server has Dummy user define, select the Server Index and enter the
username and password. After clicking Send Dummy Auth, you will be able to see the
reply status in the Dummy Auth Status field.
Dummy Authentication is supported for Tacacs only.

9.3 SNMPv3 Users Configuration
Figure 9-3 Network Page: Advanced Settings – SNMP V3 Users
This section allows setting the SNMP V3 users.
CLI settings:
set snmp-user <engine-id> <user> <auth> <priv>
<engine-id> : | local | string
<auth> : none | {md5 <passphrase>} | {sha
<passphrase>}
<priv> : none | {des <passphrase>} | {aes
<passphrase>}
auth-passphrase and privacy-passphrase are ASCII strings. Together with internally
calculated Engine ID these strings are used to produce authentication and privacy keys
respectively.
If no parameters other than the user name are supplied to the set command, an entry is
created for the user identified by the name while privacy and authentication algorithms
are set to NULL.
If a privacy algorithm (des or aes) is not supplied, the privacy algorithm is set to NULL.
If a privacy-passphrase is not supplied, the privacy-passphrase is the same as the
authentication passphrase.
Page 86
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 86
SNMP Managers
Each SNMPv3 agent has an engine ID that uniquely identifies the agent in the device and
also the unique identification of the MIB objects within a domain.
In SNMPv3 communication, Engine ID is used as an identifier for an agent among other
agents.
When you define get and set commands for SNMPv3 user, set Engine ID to Local. When
you define trap for SNMPv3 user, set Engine ID to the value of the Engine ID of the
remote manager.
Note that get, set, and trap commands should be defined for the same user. The same
user should be defined twice: once with Engine ID=Local and the second time with the
Engine ID of the remote manager.
9.4 Monitoring CLI Sessions
Use the following command to display active CLI sessions:
show loginsession [{my | all}]
In response, the software displays the following:
Session ID Session Time
xx dddd:hh:mm:ss
yy dddd:hh:mm:ss
Where:
xx or yy is a two-digit integer from 00 to 99, and
dddd:hh:mm:ss – days(0000 – 9999):hours(00 – 24):minutes(00 – 60):seconds(00 – 60)
To display only the CLI session of the user entering the command, use the show
loginsession my command.
To display all active CLI session, use the show loginsession all command.
The maximum number of CLI sessions is 10.
Note:
Monitoring CLI login sessions supported in the CLI only.

10 Diagnostics
The system features a wide range of built-in indicators and diagnostic tools designed to
enable you to quickly evaluate a link’s performance, identify operating faults, and
resolve them.
The general diagnostics process for a radio link is to identify whether there is a problem
that needs to be addressed, to isolate the root cause of the problem, and to implement
the steps that are required to solve the problem.
The following is a partial list of events that can cause system problems:
End equipment problems (such as connection or device configuration issues)
External hardware faults
System level configuration issues
Hardware faults that require radio link replacement
This chapter describes the system’s diagnostics features, and offers basic instructions
for how to use these features to isolate and resolve operating faults in the ODUs or in
the a network. The chapter includes the following topics:
Troubleshooting Process
System LEDs
Alarms
Performance Statistics
Loopbacks
10.1 Troubleshooting Process
Follow this step-by-step process whenever you encounter a problem with the link.
Step 1: Define the Problem
Isolating a problem’s symptoms is the first step in corrective maintenance. It is
important to define the problem clearly and fully.
Define the problem as either a customer-impact type (for example, loss of element
management, or no Ethernet services over the link) or a product-related type (for
example, a link is down or an ODU does not power up).
Step 2: Check and Gather Relevant Information
Examining the link’s status indications will provide both current and historical
information regarding the link’s performance and alarms.
Indications include ODU LEDs, System Alarms, and System Statistics.
Use these indications to further refine the problem and help to assess possible causes,
both physical and logical, in the system.
Page 88
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 88
Step 3: Isolate the Fault
Further isolate and characterize the problem using all available link indications.
Ascertain if the problem is related to:
End-equipment configuration or an interconnection
A hardware fault in the link’s accessories (such as a cable)
Configuration settings (this can be verified using the CLI)
A hardware fault in one of the ODUs
A result of larger network propagation problem
Note that Loopback indications are especially useful when isolating the fault’s
component and network location.
Step 4: Correct the Fault
Once the fault is isolated, implement the necessary corrective actions until resolution of
the problem is confirmed.
Whenever possible, it is recommended that you repeat commissioning tests in order to
verify that the problem link is now operating correctly.
Step 5: Need Support?
Contact us for technical support in case assistance is needed.
Include detailed description of the issue and what steps were taken trying to solve it.
Send the output of the System_info script from both sides (copy its output to a text file)
for efficient service.
The script collects all the relevant system status, logs, configurations and statistics.

to change in RF link
conditions.
Verify if modulation change is
due to rain fading, misalignment or interference.
1) Improve antenna alignment
and verify clear line of sight.
2) Verify RF configuration.
3) Change channel to verify no
interference.
4) Replace ODU.
Rate Changed
Eth port rate
changed
Rate changed due to port
down (normal in case of

failure
If Eth port rate is lower than
expected:
1) Check port settings and autoneg settings.
2) Check cables (bad
cable/crimpting of RJ45 will not
allow port to go to highest rate.
3) Replace ODU.

10.4 Performance Statistics
The system uses advanced RF and Ethernet counters to provide real-time performance
statistics for radio transmission activities and Ethernet ports/services.
Refer to the Statistics chapter of this manual for detailed description of the
performance monitoring statistics.
10.5 Loopbacks
The system uses Ethernet and RF loopbacks designed to enable fault isolation and
Ethernet service performance testing.
Ethernet Line Loopback – Internal loopback is performed on the interface,
testing the local system, the radio link, and the remote system.
RF (Radio) Loopback – Internal loopback is performed on the system’s RF
output.
Note:
After activating Loopback, it is important to clear all RF and Ethernet statistics in
order to receive the most accurate results for analysis.
Use system alarms as well as statistic displays to determine if Loopback testing has
passed or failed.
Loopbacks can be applied with a timeout (up to 24 hours). When timeout expires, the
loopback will be removed.

Page 93
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 93
10.5.2 Ethernet Line Loopbacks
The loopback can be applied separately for each one of the interfaces.
Ethernet loopbacks can be set in the Maintenance section of the Eth Ports page.
Figure 10-2 Ethernet Line Loopback
This section allows configuring the following parameters:
Line Loopback – checkbox to enable loopback on the port. Internal (towards the
radio side) loopback is available, with specific MAC addresses swap.
Loopback MAC Swap – Loopback is performed with MAC addresses swap
(swapping DA and SA) for the address specified only. All other MAC addresses
not looped.
Loopback Timeout – in seconds. Loopback will clear when timeout expires (up to
24 hours, 0= no timeout).
Internal Line Loopback
An Internal loop returns the received frames to the radio side, enabling you to test
Ethernet traffic across the link.
The Ethernet traffic from the Customer’s end-equipment or Ethernet analyzer is looped
at the Ethernet interface of the remote system, enabling testing of the connection
(cable/fiber), the interface between end-equipment and the local system, both local and
remote systems and the radio transmission.
10.5.3 Radio (RF) Loopback
The Ethernet traffic from a customer’s end-equipment or Ethernet analyzer is looped on
the system’s radio output, enabling testing of the connection (cable/fiber), the interface
between the system and end-equipment and the local system.
The loopback is set with MAC Address swapping for the specified MAC address on
specific modulation profile set by the user.
Page 94
EtherHaul™ 8000 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Page 94
Note:
For error-free operation at high modulation profiles, no interference should be
present. Switch off or mute remote system before applying the RF loopback.
Alternatively, change remote frequency to eliminate risk of interference.
It will take the system to stabilize after loopback about 3 minutes before checking
radio performance using the alarms and statistics.
Enable the loopback and set the loopback-timeout in seconds (up to 24 hours, 0= no
timeout, recommended minimum of 600 seconds).
RF loopback can be set in the Maintenance section of the Radio page.
Figure 10-3 RF Loopback
This section allows configuring the following parameters:
RF Loopback – checkbox to enable the internal RF loopback, set the timeout for
clearing the loopback in seconds and select the modulation the ODU will be
tested at.

11 Statistics
The system uses advanced RF and Ethernet counters to provide real-time performance
statistics for radio transmission and Ethernet ports.
The following statistics enable quick analysis of system and component performance in
support of troubleshooting and diagnostics.
RF statistics – displays RF statistic counters to identify radio errors and check the
radio status history. The RF statistics consist of real time statistic counters since
the last time the counters were cleared
Ethernet statistics - displays Ethernet statistics counters per Ethernet port
This chapter describes the system's statistics.
The statistics are presented in the dedicated Statistics page.
Statistics can be exported to Excel by clicking the Export to Excel button next to
the relevant table.
