Rev No: 04 1 Introduction 1.1 System Overview The Model 4050 is a 5 GHz full-duplex Radio Frequency (RF) modem with link speeds of 64 and 128 Kbps. Data formats are synchronous serial, asynchronous serial, and 10Base-T Ethernet. 1.2 Features Radio 5 GHz operation (5.091 –...
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 2 Installation and Configuration 2.1 General Installation and Operating Considerations 2.1.1 Antenna Avoid operating the transmitter without a proper termination on the RF connector. Although the modem is designed to withstand such operation, undesired interference to other RF systems may occur.
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 To change passwords, log in to the system as the administrator by typing the default administrator password “admin” at the password prompt. 2.2.1.1 Operator Password The operator password allows the operator to configure and test the data port. Configuration settings for the radio and the network may be displayed but not changed.
Page 11
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 Modems with odd serial numbers are set at the factory to “dash one” and those with even serial numbers are set to “dash two.” IMPORTANT: The dash setting corresponds to a physical configuration internal to the modem and should not be changed.
Page 12
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 2.2.2.7 Channel Selection The modems may be configured to carry either full-duplex serial or Ethernet traffic. Only one type of traffic can be carried at a time and both ends of the link must be set to the same selection. Configure the channel with the command >...
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 The clock source may be set with one of the commands: > clock int > clock ext > clock loop 2.2.2.8.3 Interface Type The serial interface may use either EIA-232 or EIA-530 drivers and receivers. Either type of interface may be used with both synchronous and asynchronous data.
Page 14
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 2.2.3.1 DHCP The IP parameters of the interface may be automatically configured using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on the local network. The DHCP server will typically configure the IP address and netmask, default gateway, and Domain Name Servers (DNS).
Page 15
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 2.2.3.5 Timeserver The modem does not have real-time clock hardware that will allow it to maintain a time reference when powered off. However, during its startup procedure it will attempt to contact a timeserver on the network to set its clock to the actual time.

CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 3 Monitoring Operation 3.1 Alarms The modem detects various abnormal conditions and generates an alarm to alert operators to the condition. The alarm conditions are grouped in to four categories: system, data, transmit, and receive alarms. Each category is associated with a status LED on the front and rear panels and with a solid-state relay contact closure.
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 3.1.4 Receive Alarms Synthesizer Out of Lock The receive synthesizer is out of lock. This may indicate an unconfigured or misconfigured receiver, or a hardware failure. AGC Out of Lock The automatic gain control system is not able to achieve a suitable receive signal level.
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 4 Local Craft Interface 4.1 Craft Interface Terminal Port The modem has a Craft Interface Terminal (CIT) port that is used to configure it and monitor its operation. The user interface is a text-based “command line” style so that it is compatible with most laptop Personal Computers (PCs) and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs).
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 4.2.7 dhcp DHCP Enable Usage: dhcp [<0|1>] [<n|y|off|on>] Authorization: Operator RO; Administrator RW With no argument displays the current DHCP enable setting. Otherwise sets the DHCP enable to the specified value. DHCP is a protocol that permits an Ethernet device to have its IP port configuration set automatically.
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 The gateway may be specified as a “dotted quad” IP number (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) or as a hostname (and domain). If specified as a hostname, a DNS server must be available to resolve the name into an IP number.
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 Data blocks may be interleaved to improve the error performance in the presence of certain kinds of noise and interference. The optimum interleave depends on the characteristics of the noise and interference and is selecting the optimum interleave depth is beyond the scope of this document.
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 4.2.17 loop Loopback Mode Usage: loop [<0|1|n|y|off|on>] Authorization: Operator RW; Administrator RW Display or set the current loopback mode. With no argument, displays the current loopback setting. With an argument of 0, n, or “off”...
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 When a multipoint modem has permission to transmit, it should assert RTS and wait for the modem to respond by asserting CTS (clear-to-send). In multipoint mode the RF transmitter will be unmuted when RTS is asserted and, after delay to allow the link to be established, CTS will be asserted to indicate it is okay to send data.
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 4.2.24 passwd Set Passwords Usage: passwd <oper|admin|spare> Authorization: see text Change login passwords. There are three user accounts: operator, administrator, and spare. The account is automatically identified by the password that is used to log in.
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 DASH MINIMUM MAXIMUM 5140.0 MHz 5150.0 MHz 5091.0 MHz 5101.0 MHz 4.2.28 speed Set Interface Speed Usage: speed [<300|600|1200|2400|4800|9600|19200|64|128>] Authorization: Operator RW; Administrator RW Display or set the interface speed. With no argument, display the current interface speed.
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 If there are any corrected blocks, a table is printed indicating how many blocks had one error, how many had two errors, and so forth. 4.2.30 status Status Usage: status Authorization: Operator RO; Administrator RO Display information about the operation of the modem.
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 With no value specified, display the current setting of the time server. Otherwise set the time server to the specified value. The change will take effect when the system is restarted. The time server may be specified as a “dotted quad” IP address, or as a hostname and domain.
Alternatively, the update may be specified as a URL and loaded from a web server. From time to time Protium Technologies, Inc. may make software updates available on its web server for downloading via the Internet. 4.3.2...
CONFIDENTIAL Protium Technologies, Inc. 4050-9901 Rev No: 04 With no argument, display the current system logging level. Otherwise, set the specified system logging level. Multiple arguments may be specified, in which case each argument is applied in the order given. For example, syslog none debug will clear all optional logging and then enable logging of debug messages.
