Chapter 1 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 Notifications Notifications consist of Warnings, Cautions and Notes. The purpose of a Note is to • Draw your attention to something that may not be obvious or counter‐ intuitive • Emphasize a special feature or peculiarity of the RADWIN 2000 C Plus • Offer an external reference for additional information • Add a caveat that would not qualify as a full Caution or Warning (see below) • Provide additional background to what follows Note • Offer a recommendation • Highlight an indication of something to watch out for • Advise you if an action has “side effects” i.e. it may disturb something else that would be best left undisturbed • Remind you of something that should be kept in mind A Warning is a notification of risk of danger to persons operating near the equipment Warning A Caution is a notification of risk of damage to equipment or of service ...
Terminology Chapter 1 Terminology • Universal bands refer to RADWIN Universal bands. • 3.X or 3.X GHz refers to the frequency range 3.3 – 3.8GHz • BRS refers to the 2.5 GHz band subject to the FCC BRS regulations • A 3.X ODU is an ODU pre configured to operate in the 3.X GHz licensed bands • A 3.X Link in a RADWIN 2000 link using a pair of 3.X ODUs • High Resolution Bands ‐ Channel minimum step is 250 KHz. applies to 3.475 ‐ 3.650 GHz IC, 3.4 ‐3.7 GHz ETSI and the 3.3 ‐ 3.8 GHz Universal band. • Low Resolution Bands ‐ Channel minimum step is 1 MHz. Applies to FCC regulations in the 3.650 ‐ 3.675 GHz band. • In the field, a link typically has a local or headquarters site. Typically, a service provider is the local or headquarters site. The service recipient is the remote site. Where the link is completely internal to a corporation, the choice of the local and remote is just a matter of convenience. A link then, consists of two sites. • In Broadband Wireless terminology, the local and remote sites are sometimes referred to as “near” and “far”, “HQ” and “remote” and so on. The RADWIN 2000 C Plus class radios achieve their 250Mbps throughput by drawing on new technology developed for the RADWIN 5000 Point to Multipoint series. Therefore the sites are not symmetrical. The local site referred to earlier, uses a base station radio (HBS) as the link Master ODU and the remote site uses a subscriber unit (HSU) as the link Slave ODU. The HBS/HSU and master/slave terminology will be used throughout the manual both to describe the two link sites without further comment. • The link is normally configured and managed using a PC, the managing computer con‐ nected to the Master ODU. (The precise requirements for the managing computer are set out on page 4‐1). It may also be connected to the Slave ODU either directly or over‐...

Chapter 3: Site Survey Planning the Link Site Overview Link site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out before any equipment is brought to the site. If for some reason, the outcome of any of these surveys is negative, site re‐location will need to be considered. A Site Survey consists of three stages: 1. Preliminary survey ‐ The proposed link is analyzed in the office using a topographic map. 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 site must be appraised to determine that the wireless system is able to operate efficiently and provide connectivity without signal degradation. RADWIN 2000 C Plus offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency channel must be determined within the operating range, for optimum performance. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 3‐1...
• 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 two designated ODU installation sites and the area between them. To perform a preliminary survey: 1. Mark the two 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 two 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 the link. 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 the link sites may double the required antenna height. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 3‐2...
Stage 2: Physical Survey Chapter 3 5. Determine and record the compass bearings between both ODUs, relative to north. 6. If there are obstructions between the two sites, calculate the Fresnel Zone (see Link Budget Calculator for details). 7. If the site chosen does 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 The physical site survey reviews the environment of the proposed installation location, to ensure that the link sites are suitable for the wireless network. The results of the physical site survey should be recorded. It is advisable to go on a clear day, so you can more easily see any obstructions between the two sites. Note To perform a physical survey: 1. From the compass readings taken in the preliminary survey, find the azimuth (hori‐ zontal position) that the ODU should face towards the second 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 Link Budget Calculator). 4. If you need to install the ODU on a tower, make sure that the tower is far away 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. The IDU ‐ ODU cable length limit is 100m, in accordance with 10/100BaseT interface. Note 6. Measure and record the path length of the cable from the ODU position to the indoor equipment room. 7. Determine the ground and lightning connection points of the installation. The ODU and IDU must both be grounded. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 3‐3...
8. Using the Ohmmeter, measure and record the resistance of the required 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 60C (‐31 to 140F). Additional Indoor Site Requirements The following requirements guarantee proper operation of the system: • For IDU‐C units, allow at least 90 cm (36 “) of front clearance for operating and mainte‐ nance accessibility. Allow at least 10 cm (4 “) clearance at the rear of the unit for signal lines and interface cables • 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 both proposed link 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. It is possible to install the link and use the RADWIN Manager to find a clear channel. Each frequency channel can be evaluated in turn. Achievement of a clear channel is indicated by the marker in the Quality bar on the Channel Note Setting window (see Figure 6‐5) moving into the green area. RF Planning for Dense Installations and Collocated Sites Interference may arise from RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 3‐4...
RF Planning for Dense Installations and Collocated Sites Chapter 3 • 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 form interference). You may have to use the Change Band facility available for all RADWIN 2000 products. • To select a frequency channel, move the link to Installation Mode (using Site configura‐ tion) and start the Installation wizard. In the Channel Settings window, use the quality bar at the bottom to help you choose a better channel (clearer of interference). • Use the Spectrum View tool to find the best working channel (Tools | Spectrum View). • Decreasing the Tx Power of a link will reduce collocation interference (Site Configura‐ tion | Air Interface). Use the Link Budget Calculator to determine the minimum Tx Power required to maintain link stability. Note RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 3‐5...

Antennas Chapter 4 Figure 4‐6: IDU‐H front view ‐ double configuration Antennas An antenna is the radiating and receiving element from which the radio signal, in the form of RF power, is radiated to its surroundings and vice versa. The antenna gain and transmitting power may be limited by country regulations. The RADWIN 2000 C Plus may be operated with an integrated antenna that is part of the ODU, or with external antennas connected to the ODU via N‐type connectors. All cables and connections must be connected correctly to reduce RF losses. The required antenna impedance is 50 . The 5.x GHz Integrated Antenna ODU is provided with 370 mm (1.2ft) flat panel antenna, with a gain of 23dBi (5.x GHz) / 19dBi (4.9 GHz) and 8° beam width. The 2.x GHz Integrated Antenna ODU is provided with 370 mm (1.2ft) flat panel antenna, with a gain of 16dBi and 16° beam width. The radio and the antenna are housed in a weatherproof case as a single unit.

Cables and connectors Chapter 4 Cables and connectors • ODU grounding cable 10 AWG • ODU‐PoE cable (outdoor class, CAT‐5e, 4 twisted pairs, 24AWG): • Up to 100 m. for 100BaseT connection. • For a 1000BaseT connection (HBS only) use an ODU‐PoE cable no longer than 75m. For 1000BaseT, you should use RADWIN supplied ODU‐PoE cables, which guarantees 1Gb performance. RADWIN cannot guarantee 1Gb performance if you use third party cables. Note • External CAT‐5e cable diameter should be between 7‐9 mm to ensure waterproof sealing. Safety Practices and Provisions 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: • All ODUs should be earthed by a wire with diameter of at least 10 AWG. RADWIN 2000 C Plus 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 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 2000 C Plus ODUs must be grounded to a Protective Earth in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations. • The earth lug on an IDU‐H should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack‐mounted equipment should be ...
Protection Against Lightning Chapter 4 • Ensure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground 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. General • It is recommended that installation of outdoor units 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 devices, always use the AC power adapter supplied by RADWIN • Use the right tools! • Do not mount an ODU upside down or horizontally. Doing this may void you product warranty. Internal ESD Protection circuits RADWIN equipment is designed to meet the ETSI/FCC/Aus/NZ/CSA EMC and Safety requirements. To fulfill these requirements, the system's Telecom lines at the ODU/PoE are Transformer‐isolated and include internal ESD (Electro‐Static‐Discharge) Protection circuits.

The RADWIN Manager Log‐on Concept Chapter 5 Figure 5‐5: Log on window exposing the user types. There are three user types: • An Observer has read‐only access to the sector. An Observer can monitor the sector, generate reports, but may not change any sector parameters. • An Operator can install and configure the sector. • An Installer can, in addition to functioning as an Operator, also change the operating frequency band (or regulation). The latter function has legal ramifications, requiring familiarity with local regulations. You may choose the SNMP version. If your firewall blocks SNMPv3 messages and for security reasons cannot be changed them use SNMPv1. If you are using Trap Authentication, enter the User and Password. Leaving these fields blank or incorrect, will not prevent you from logging on. You will not be able to see trap messages directed to the trap message address associated with a defined user. The allocation and association of a trap address with a user is described in Chapter 7, Management.

Chapter 6: Link Configuration Chapter Contents This chapter is divided into two sections covering the two phases of Link configuration: 1. Link establishment: Initial setup 2. Link maintenance: Fine tuning and special functions Link establishment is typically a once‐only task. Link maintenance is required for fine‐tuning the link and configuration of special features such as VLAN, Quality of Service and more. Link Establishment Link Configuration Workflow The workflow required to establish a link derives from the precedents of the RADWIN 2000 C Plus family in the RADWIN 5000 Point to Multipoint technology. As supplied, both ODUs are factory pre‐configured as HSUs. One of them, typically the one to which you logged on in the previous chapter, must be defined as Link Master ODU. The Link Master ODU requires activation. The ODU will commence transmitting and receiving packets related to link management only ‐ that is no service. Activation and Deactivation are effected quite simply by clicking a toggle button. Assuming that the ODU intended as Link Slave ODU is mounted aligned and powered up, it will discover the Master ODU establishing a link for management only. At this point the Slave ODU may be managed over the air. Having Identified the Link Slave ODU, the latter must be registered to the Master ODU to enable traffic between them, completing phase 1. Following registration, you can set separately, • MIMO mode • Transmission ratio between uplink and downlink RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 6‐1...
Setting the connected ODU as Master ODU Chapter 6 • Uplink and downlink Maximum Information Rate (MIR) in Mbps • VLAN parameters • Quality of service parameters. The ODUs as supplied can be used as HSUs in a PtMP sector or ODUs in a PtP link such as we are describing here. Until the link is established, you will see references in the RADWIN Manager to unfamiliar terms such as “Nomadic” and “Mobility”. As soon as an HSU is configured for PtP most of them will no Note longer be seen. In what follows, we assume that you are logged on to one of the ODUs on IP address as shown in the previous chapter.

It is recommended that you use different VLAN IDs for each context. Caution VLAN Management enables separation of user traffic from management traffic whenever such separation is required. It is recommended that each member of a sector be configured with different VLAN IDs for management traffic. (This reduces your chances of accidentally locking yourself out of the link.) To enable VLAN for management: 1. In the window of Figure 7‐4, check the Enabled box. 2. Enter a VLAN ID. Its value should be between 2 and 4094. After entering the VLAN ID, only packets with the specified VLAN ID are processed for management purposes by the HBS/HSU ODU. This includes all the protocols sup‐ ported by the ODU (ICMP, SNMP, Telnet and NTP). Using VLAN for management traf‐ fic affects all types of management connections (local, network and over the air). 3. Enter a Priority number between 0 and 7.

Lost or forgotten VLAN ID If the VLAN ID is forgotten or there is no VLAN traffic connected to the ODU, then reset the relevant ODU. During the first two minutes of connection, the ODU uses management packets both with and without VLAN. You may use this period to reconfigure the VLAN ID and priority. Supported Protocols Supported protocols are shown in Figure 7‐5: Figure 7‐5: Supported protocols SNMP support is permanently enabled. You may choose between SNMPv1, SNMPv3 or both. If you choose SNMPv3, you will be offered the following cautionary message: For a link managed as part of a network, direct access to either site using Telnet is considered to be a security breach. Telnet access may be enabled or disabled by clicking the Protocol tab and enabling/disabling Telnet access using the Telnet check‐box. Similar considerations apply to access via the Web Interface. • For further details about Telnet access see Configuration with Telnet. • For further details about the Web Interface, see Chapter 20. Telnet and Web Interface access modes when available, are site specific. If for example, you want Telnet access from a specific site, you should enable it for that sites and disable it for the other.

RADWIN Manager Community Strings The ODU communicates with the RADWIN Manager using the SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 protocol. The SNMPv1 protocol defines three types of communities: • Read‐Only for retrieving information from the ODU • Read‐Write to configure and control the ODU • Trap used by the ODU to issue traps. The Community string must be entered at log on. You must know the password and the correct Community string to gain access to the system. You may have read‐only privileges. It is not possible to manage the ODU if the read‐write or the read Community values are forgotten. A new Community value may be obtained from RADWIN Customer Service for the purpose of setting new Community. You must also have available the serial number or the MAC address of the ODU.

Management Chapter 7 Figure 7‐10: Alternative Community Dialog box Date & Time The ODU maintains a date and time. The date and time should be synchronized with any Network Time Protocol (NTP) version 3 compatible server. During power‐up the ODU attempts to configure the initial date and time using an NTP Server. If the server IP address is not configured or is not reachable, a default time is set. When configuring the NTP Server IP address, you should also configure the offset from the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). If there is no server available, you can either set the date and time, or you can set it to use the date and time from the managing computer. Note that manual setting is not recommended since it will be overridden by a reset, power up, or synchronization with an NTP Server. The NTP uses UDP port 123. If a fire wall is configured between the ODU and the NTP Server this port must be opened. It can take up to 8 minutes for the NTP to synchronize the ODU date and Note time. To set the date and time: 1. Determine the IP address of the NTP server to be used. 2. Test it for connectivity using the command (Windows XP and 7), for example: w32tm /stripchart /computer:216.218.192.202 RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 7‐14...

Chapter 8: Operating Under the FCC Unrestricted Contention Based Protocol Scope of this Chapter This chapter explains how to set up a RADWIN 5000 link operating under the FCC Unrestricted Contention Based Protocol (UCBP) in the 3.650‐3.7GHz band The detailed technical operation of the protocol is beyond the scope of this manual. A variety of publications on the subject are available from the relevant FCC Web site, http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/ index.htm?job=service_home&id=3650_3700. See also, http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/ edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC‐05‐56A1.pdf. Bringing up a link The HBS for FCC UCBP is pre‐configured for this regulation only. Activation is the same as for other RADWIN 5000 products. Following activation, the HBS will find its HSUs in the usual way.The only additional requirements are two extra parameters to be set in the Configuration Air Interface tab: RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 8‐1...
Slave ODU Operation Chapter 8 Figure 8‐1: Air Interface Tab for FCC UCBP The Maximum Throughput Mode is irrelevant here and should be left as is. The Sharing Percentage, (between 15 ‐ 75%, default 50%) is the maximum capacity the Master ODU is prepared to relinquish in favour of other transmitters on this band. (There may be several.) The Minimal Contention slot length (5 ‐ 20ms, default 10ms) is the amount of time the HBS is prepared to wait to check again for channel availability ‐ and if still not available, to transmit regardless. Basically the idea is this: Suppose that the Master ODU is set to Sharing Percentage of say 20% and Minimum Contention Slot length of 10 ms as shown. It says, “I am prepared to be polite and relinquish up to 20% of my capacity but I will butt in and transmit a burst from 10ms after interference detection.” The remaining tabs work as expected. Slave ODU Operation Since the Slave ODU takes its cue from the Master ODU in respect of air interface parameters, nothing special is required in its configuration. Older model Slave ODUs configured for the 3.650‐3.7GHz band should work correctly ‐ but you should check with RADWIN Customer Service before using them for UCBP.

More on the Thresholds RSL Thresholds Two RSL Thresholds can be defined. They are used as an indicator of problems in the radio channel. You can check the RSS from the Link Budget Calculator results during installation. Values of ‐5dB and ‐8dB from the current RSS are typical. TSL Threshold A counter is maintained, of the number of second intervals during which Tx power exceeds this threshold. BBER Threshold The Background Block Error Ratio is measured as a percentage. The threshold can be set from 0.1% up to 50%. An 8% threshold is recommended. If there are no problems during the interval, then for that threshold, the recommended BBER value should be 0. Since the system provides a lossless Ethernet service, there is throughput degradation in case of interference. The degradation is proportional to the BBER. Ethernet Thresholds ‐ Capacity This is used as a basis for checking adherence to a Service Level Agreement. It is the number of seconds count that the link capacity falls bellow the threshold. Ethernet Thresholds ‐ Traffic The number of seconds count that received traffic exceeded this threshold. It can be used to measure traffic peaks. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 9‐9...

Chapter 10: Hub Site Synchronization What is Hub Site Synchronization? When several radios are collocated at a common hub site, interference may occur from one unit to another. RADWIN ODUs support the collocation of more than two units at a central site. Like any other RF deployment, the wireless operation is highly dependent on factors such as available frequencies, the physical spacing between radios, other interfering radios, and whether RADWIN 2000, RADWIN 2000 C Plus or RADWIN 5000 units are installed. • HSS does not eliminate the need for careful RF planning to ensure the design will work as planned. See Site Survey for information on instal‐ lation site survey. Note • HSS support for RADWIN 2000 C Plus HBSs is model dependent The RADWIN Hub Site Synchronization (HSS) method uses a cable connected from the Master ODU to all collocated ODUs; this cable carries pulses sent to each ODU, which synchronize their transmission with each other. The pulse synchronization ensures that transmission occurs at the same time for all collocated units. This also results in all of the hub site units receiving data at the same time, eliminating the possibility of interference that could result if some units transmit while other units at the same location receive. Figure 10‐1 illustrates interference caused by non‐synchronized collocated units. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐1...
What is Hub Site Synchronization? Chapter 10 Figure 10‐1: Interference caused by collocated units Adding HSS removes interference as shown in the next two figures: Figure 10‐2: Collocated units using Hub Site Synchronization (1) Figure 10‐3: Collocated units using Hub Site Synchronization (2) The units are connected to each other with HSS cables and HSS Distribution Units. One of the radios in the site is defined as HSS Master and generates synchronization pulses. The other collocated radios in the site ‐ the HSS Clients, are connected to the HSS Master and synchronize their transmission to the pulses. An HSS Client can be configured to work in one of two modes: RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐2...
Hardware Installation Chapter 10 • HSS Client‐Continue Transmission (HSC‐CT): If the unit loses synchronization with the HSS Master, the link remains active. However, without synchronization pulses, it is pos‐ sible that this unit will cause interference. • HSS Client‐Disable Transmission (HSC‐DT): If the unit loses synchronization with the HSS Master, the link is dropped until the synchronization pulses resume. This setting prevents the unit from causing interference. The remote ODUs that are not located at the hub site, are called Independent Units. Hardware Installation Connecting an HSS Unit A single HSS unit supports up to ten collocated ODUs. In addition to each unit being connected to its PoE device, the collocated unit has an additional cable that is connected to the HSS Unit. The HSS Unit is a compact, weatherproof (IP67) connector box that is installed on the same mast as the ODUs. All collocated units connect to this box using CAT‐5e cable. Cables in prepared lengths are available for purchase. The HSS unit is supplied with ten protective covers; any port not in use must be closed with a protective cover. Figure 10‐4: HSS Interconnection Unit • For a single HSS unit, ensure that the collocated units are connected in sequence from SYNC 1. If an ODU is removed from the hub site, then all remaining ODUs must be reconnected to maintain the connectivity. • You may cascade (daisy‐chain) two or more HSS Units with an HSS Note cable. The method is described in detail below. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐3...
Page 143
Using a Single HSS Unit Chapter 10 To connect an ODU to an HSS unit: 1. Unscrew the protective cover from the port marked SYNC 1. 2. Connect the RJ‐45 connector from one end of the prepared CAT‐5e cable to SYNC 1. 3. Connect the other end of the CAT‐5e cable to the ODU connector labeled SYNC. 4. Tighten the protective seal that is on the prepared cable over the RJ‐45 connector. 5. Repeat for all ODUs that are to be collocated at the hub site. The next ODU to be connected is inserted in SYNC 1, SYNC 2, followed by SYNC 3 and so on. Using a Single HSS Unit Figure 10‐5: HSS Wiring schematic The wiring, as shown in Figure 10‐5 is self explanatory. The Sync signal path is less self‐ evident. If we set ODU 1 (on SYNC 1) to HSS Master, then the Sync signal path is as shown in Figure 10‐6. The signal travels from ODU 1 to SYNC 1, from SYNC 1 to SYNC 2, from SYNC 2 to ODU 2 and back again. The back and forth paths repeat for the second to fourth ODU, from left to right. The signal exits the HSS unit at SYNC 5 and terminates in ODU 5. The choice of the ODU on SYNC 1 as HSS master is not mandatory, but is good practice. If for example we were to use ODU 3 as HSS master, the Sync signal path would be ODU 3 to SYNC 3, then left and right to SYNC 2 and SYNC 4. It would then propagate to ODUs 2 and 4, terminating at both ODUs 1 and 5. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐4...
Using More than One HSS Unit Chapter 10 Figure 10‐6: HSS sync signal path with ODU 1 as HSS Master Using More than One HSS Unit In a large collocation site, several HSS units may be cascaded (daisy‐chained) subject to the following conditions: Condition 1: Cabling Sequence 1. Up to nine ODUs may be connected to the first HSS unit using HSS ports SYNC 1, SYNC 2, SYNC 3,... up to SYNC 9 in order without leaving empty ports. 2. The next available SYNC port of the first HSS unit should be connected to SYNC 10 of the second HSS unit as shown in Figure 10‐7. In the illustration, the next available port on the first HSS unit is SYNC 6. 3. The second HSS unit may be filled out with up to nine more ODUs in reverse order. That is, connect SYNC 9, SYNC 8, SYNC 7... as shown in Figure 10‐7. Figure 10‐7: Cascading two HSS units RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐5...
4. To add a further HSS unit: Connect the next available SYNC port from the second HSS unit in descending order (SYNC 5 in Figure 10‐7) to SYNC 1 of the third HSS unit. ODUs are connected to the third HSS unit from SYNC 2 as shown in Figure 10‐8, in ascending order: Figure 10‐8: Cascading three HSS units 6. If further ODUs are required, observe the convention that additional even numbered units are populated in descending order from SYNC 9 and odd numbered HSS units are populated in ascending order from SYNC 2. If an ODU is disconnected from an HSS unit, then all remaining ODUs must be moved up or down to maintain the connectivity. Note Condition 2: Total HSS Cable Length The total path of the HSS sync pulse must not exceed 300m. This applies no matter how many HSS units are used.

Chapter 11: Using the RADWIN GSU What is it for The GPS‐based synchronization unit (GSU) is designed to handle inter‐site interferences under large‐scale deployment scenarios. The GSU is an outdoor unit consisting of a small size enclosure, a GPS antenna and a PoE device. The GSU is connected to the HSS Unit using a standard HSS cable. It synchronizes the transmission timing of multiple Hub‐Sites to the same clock source thus eliminating mutual interference. GSU Functionality The GSU receives a synchronization signal from the GPS once per second. It distributes a RADWIN proprietary synchronization signal to all other ODUs using the RS422 protocol and the standard HSS mechanism, where the GSU acts as an HSM unit. When the GSU doesn’t receive a synchronization signal from the GPS for 30 seconds, it moves automatically to Self‐Generation mode and acts as a regular HSM unit, until the GPS recovers. Typical GSU Scenarios Independent Distributed Sites In the scenario of Figure 11‐1, we have multiple independent collocated sites, which may interfere with each other. To meet this situation, we coordinate all of them using the GSU as shown. The GSU functions like “wide area HSS unit”, ensuring that all participating radios at the locations marked GSU each transmit and receive at the same time.

Multiple Distributed Sites with Communication Chapter 11 Figure 11‐1: GSU Scenario ‐ Independent distributed sites Multiple Distributed Sites with Communication What happens if, in Figure 11‐1, the GSU towers themselves have radios communicating as shown in Figure 11‐2? Consider GSU 1 and GSU 2: Both collocated towers transmit and receive simultaneously. However, the radios communicating at GSU 1 and GSU 2 must transmit and receive in turn according to the scheme in marked “Normal Phase” in Figure 11‐3. This is an impossible situation, if all the links must send and receive together. It is further complicated by adding a third and further sites as shown. Figure 11‐2: GSU Scenario ‐ Communicating distributed sites RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 11‐2...
Cascaded Sites using Shifted Phase Transmission Chapter 11 Cascaded Sites using Shifted Phase Transmission The solution offered here is not a “universal cure”. The following conditions are necessary, but in any specific case may not be sufficient: • The GSU sites (marked 1, and 3 above) are sufficiently far apart as to ensure that there is no mutual interference between communicating sites (1‐2 and 2‐3 above) • There should be no interference between non‐communicating sites (1 and 3 above). To see how it works, we use Figure 11‐2. The GSU towers are numbered and marked for cascading, 1‐2 and 2‐3. There should not be a link between 1 and 3. The GSU can synchronize the TDD timing of several sites enabling the cascading of consecutive links without mutual interference. To use cascading, the TDD timing of the even‐ordered links (GSU 2 above) must be “shifted” (Shifted Phase) and odd‐ordered links (GSU 1 and GSU 3 above) must be “unshifted” (Normal Phase). The phase shift is half of the Radio Frame Duration (RFD) from the chosen RFP. The scheme is shown in Figure 11‐3. Since the GSU is always HSS master (HSM), at each GSU location, the GSU can “force” the synchronization of its collocated radios. By half RFD shifting, alternate collocated sites can talk to each other. Figure 11‐3: Phase shifted transmission ‐ phase shift is 1/2 the RFD Choice of normal or shifted phase is configurable per GSU using the RADWIN Manager. GSU Redundancy The GSU is designed to support redundancy, improving the robustness of a GSU based topology. In redundancy mode, two GSUs are installed at the same HSS site. One of them self‐ configures to generate HSS sync signals. We will call it the Primary unit. The other one, the Secondary unit remains dormant merely polling the first GSU. If the Primary GSU fails, then the Secondary GSU becomes active immediately. If the Primary unit becomes active again, it remains dormant, reversing the original roles. The choice of the Primary GSU is random and of no significance. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 11‐3...
GSU Kit Contents Chapter 11 If the Primary GSU fails, and then the Secondary GSU also fails to receive sync signals from its GPS, then it moves to self‐generation HSM mode like an ordinary HSM ODU until its GPS recovers.

Chapter 13: VLAN Functionality with RADWIN 2000 C Plus VLAN Tagging ‐ Overview VLAN and Related Terminology Both the technical literature and the RADWIN Manager use the terms VLAN ID and VID interchangeably to denote a VLAN identification number. The VLAN implementation for RADWIN 2000 C Plus is based on that of RADWIN 5000 so the latter ODU terminology is retained. Recall, that HBS always means the Master ODU and HSU always means the Slave ODU. VLAN Background Information on the Web The standards defining VLAN Tagging are IEEE_802.1Q and extensions. For general background about VLAN see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_LAN. Background information about Double Tagging also known as QinQ may be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.1QinQ. Scope of this Chapter This chapter describes how the components of a RADWIN 2000 C Plus link deal with tagging and untagging. Requirements It is assumed that you are familiar with VLAN usage and terminology. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 13‐1...
VLAN Tagging Chapter 13 VLAN Tagging VLAN tagging enables multiple bridged networks to transparently share the same physical network link without leakage of information between networks: IEEE 802.1Q is used as the encapsulation protocol to implement this mechanism over Ethernet networks. QinQ (Double Tagging) for Service Providers QinQ is useful for Service Providers, allowing them to use VLANs internally in their “transport network” while mixing Ethernet traffic from clients that are already VLAN‐tagged. The outer tag (representing the Provider VLAN) comes first, followed by the inner tag. In QinQ the EtherType = 0x9100. VLAN tags may be stacked three or more deep. When using this type of “Provider Tagging” you should keep the following in mind: • Under Provider Tagging, the system double‐tags egress frames towards the Provider’s network. The system adds a tag with a VLAN ID and EtherType = 0x9100 to all frames, as configured by the service provider (Provider VLAN ID). • The system always adds to each frame, tags with VLAN ID and EtherType = 0x9100. Therefore, • For a frame without a tag – the system will add a tag with VLAN ID and EtherType = 0x9100 so the frame will have one tag • For a frame with a VLAN tag – the system will add a tag with VLAN ID and EtherType = 0x9100 so the frame will be double‐tagged For a frame with a VLAN tag and a provider tag – the system will add a tag with VLAN ID and EtherType = 0x9100 so the frame will be triple‐tagged and so on. At the egress side, the HSU removes the QinQ tag with EtherType = 0x9100 no matter what the value of its VLAN ID. VLAN Untagging VLAN Untagging means the removal of a VLAN or a Provider tag. Port Functionality In a RADWIN 2000 C Plus link, all VLAN activity is configured and supported from the HSUs. To this end, VLAN functionality is supported at the MNG port of the HSU. The HSU MNG port can be configured to handle Ethernet frames at the ingress direction (where frames enter the HSU) and at the egress direction (where frames exit the HSU).

Under no circumstances Disclaimer does RADWIN accept responsibility for network system or financial damages arising from incorrect use of these VLAN facilities. Management Traffic and Ethernet Service Separation You can define a VLAN ID for management traffic separation. You should configure the system to prevent conflicts as detailed below. When configured for the default operational mode, a “Provider port” will handle ingress traffic as follows: • Filters frames that are not tagged with the Provider VLAN ID • Removes the Provider double tag Therefore, if a port is configured for management traffic separation by VLAN and as ‘Provider port’, then the received management frames must be double tagged as follows: RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 13‐4...

Chapter 14: False Radar Mitigation Facilities Who needs it If you are using DFS frequency bands 5.3/5.4 GHz ETSI and 5.4/5.8GHz FCC you should use this facility. DFS and False Radar Mitigation About DFS Under DFS frequency bands, it must be ensured that radio links do not interfere with certain radar systems in the 5 GHz band. If radar is detected, the radio link should move automatically to a frequency that does not interfere with the detected radar. What is False Radar Mitigation False Radar Mitigation capability is an advanced method to reduce or eliminate false radar detection and DFS triggering (“False positives”). False radar detection can be caused by other radios transmissions or external interference that can be interpreted as true radar. This option is active only in DFS frequency bands, 5.3/5.4 GHz FCC (HBS only) and 5.4/5.8GHz ETSI (HBS & HSU). In what follows false radar means any source of radar‐like signals which are not real radar. False Radar Mitigation has two components: 1. Reduction of false positive radar detection by reduction of the probability of detecting any kind of false radars, while allowing the system to detect real radar signals.

Chapter 16: Quality of Service Prerequisites To use the facility you must be familiar with the use of VLAN (802.1p) or Diffserv. Terminology The QoS implementation for RADWIN 2000 C Plus is based on that of RADWIN 5000 so the latter ODU terminology is retained. Recall, that HBS always means the Master ODU and HSU always means the Slave ODU. QoS ‐ Overview QoS is a technique for prioritization of network traffic packets during congestion. RADWIN 2000 C Plus links support two classification criteria, VLAN based or Diffserv based. You may choose which of them to use.

Assigning Queue Priorities Chapter 16 Assigning Queue Priorities To configure queue priorities for uplink and downlink in turn: 1. For each queue, both downlink and uplink enter the required weight and MIR. The latter may be left unlimited. in which case the system will use a “best effort” method. If you exceed 100% total weight, you will receive an error message. You will be required to correct this before leaving the window other than by cancel‐ lation. If you are under‐booked, for example by setting a queue to zero, the unused weight will be distributed to the remaining queues. The effect of doing this will only become apparent under congestion. In particular, a queue set to zero weight will become nearly blocked under congestion with packets passing through on a best effort basis. 2.

Chapter 18: Link Budget Calculator Overview The Link Budget Calculator is a utility for calculating the expected performance of the RADWIN 2000 C Plus 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. User Input You are required to enter or choose the following parameters. Depending on the product, some of the parameters have a default value that cannot be changed. • Band, which determines frequency and regulation • ODU series used • Channel Bandwidth • Tx Power (maximum Tx power per modulation is validated) • Antenna Type (currently dual; cannot be changed for ODU with integrated antenna) • Antenna Gain per site (cannot be changed for integrated antenna) • Cable Loss per site (cannot be changed for integrated antenna) • Fade Margin (currently 6dB) • Rate • Required Range and climate type Link Budget Calculator Internal Data For each product (or Regulation and Band) the calculator stores the following data required for link budget calculations: • Maximum Transmit power (per modulation) • Receiver Sensitivity (per modulation) for Ethernet service • Maximum linear input power (used to calculate minimum distance) RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70...

It is always widest in the middle of the path between the two antennas. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 18‐3...
About the Fresnel Zone Chapter 18 Figure 18‐1: Fresnel zone Fresnel loss is the path loss occurring from multi‐path reflections from reflective surfaces such as water, and intervening obstacles such as buildings or mountain peaks within the Fresnel zone. Radio links should be designed to accommodate obstructions and atmospheric conditions, weather conditions, large bodies of water, and other reflectors and absorbers of electromagnetic energy. The Fresnel zone provides us with a way to calculate the amount of clearance that a wireless wave needs from an obstacle to ensure that the obstacle does not attenuate the signal. There are infinitely many Fresnel zones located coaxially around the center of the direct wave. The outer boundary of the first Fresnel zone is defined as the combined path length of all paths, which are half wavelength (1/2 ) of the frequency transmitted longer than the direct path. If the total path distance is one wavelength (1 ) longer than the direct path, then the outer boundary is said to be two Fresnel zones. Odd number Fresnel zones reinforce the direct wave path signal; even number Fresnel zones cancel the direct wave path signal. The amount of the Fresnel zone clearance is determined by the wavelength of the signal, the path length, and the distance to the obstacle. For reliability, point‐to‐point links are designed to have at least 60% of the first Fresnel zone clear to avoid significant attenuation. The concept of the Fresnel zone is shown in Figure 18‐1 above. The top of the obstruction does not extend far into the Fresnel zone, leaving 60% of the Fresnel zone clear; therefore, the signal is not significantly attenuated. For more about Fresnel zone, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_zone. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 18‐4...

Chapter 19: Spectrum View What is Spectrum View The RADWIN Manager Spectrum View utility is an RF survey tool designed to support the link installation prior to full link service activation. The tool provides comprehensive and clear spectral measurement information enabling easier, faster and better quality installations. You can view real‐time spectrum information, save the spectral information and view retrieved spectral information from historic spectrum scans. Separate information is generated for the Slave and Master ‐ all by selection. RADWIN’s spectrum measurement and estimation algorithms are designed to show accurate information accommodating variations in frequency, temperature and interference power and at the same time overcoming anomalies that tend to occur in high interference environments. Who needs it As indicated in the previous paragraph, Spectrum View is primarily a professional tool for the technician. The Spectrum View reports may be generated as images, CSV files or text files as part of the Get Diagnostics feature. All of these are intended for use by to RADWIN Customer Service to assist with diagnosing interference related problems. Scope of this Chapter In view of the nature of the intended audience, we assume that the reader knows about RF Spectrum Analysis. This chapter therefore, is not a tutorial on RF Spectrum Analysis and is restricted to showing how to use the Spectrum View tool without any further theoretical explanations.

Two Ways to Run Spectrum View Chapter 19 Two Ways to Run Spectrum View Spectrum View may be run from the Master in which case you have a choice of analyzing both sites in the link in one run, or choosing just one. Spectrum View may also be run on a managing computer directly connected to the Slave. Remember that in such a case the results will be quite different if the Slave is already part of a link (registered or not) or if it is completely stand‐alone, for example using a different spectral range and operating Band from the Master. In the former case, expect a “noise hump” around the channels used by the link, due to the duty signals from the Master. Where is the Spectrum View Data stored Spectrum View data is always stored in the ODU originating the analysis. The Master maintains the last Spectrum View analysis data for both members of the link. If you run Spectrum View from a directly connected ODU, it stores its own data, which may be quite different from the analysis obtained for the same Slave from the Master. Spectrum View Main Window In this section we review the main window management controls. From the Tools tab, choose Spectrum View.

Chapter 20: Using the Web Interface What is it For The Web Interface (WI) enables you to carry out basic link management functions using a Web browser. It may be used to ‐ • Monitor a link on a minimal basis • Check link parameters and make limited changes • View the link Inventory • Inspect the Recent Events logs Who Needs it The WI is a tool for technicians to “quick‐install” an ODU in a link with minimum effort. It may also be employed by a user for a quick look at current operating parameters and the Recent Events logs. How it Works Assume the link setup, which we used in and later. Link Configuration On the managing computer, point your browser to10.104.4.2 and log on as shown below. You can also log on over the air to the Slave ODU in the same way. For stand‐alone or unregistered ODUs, you must connect a managing computer directly to the ODU and again log on as shown below. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 20‐1...
What it Provides Chapter 20 What it Provides The WI is a developing technology. It is possible that the current distributed release may have additional or slightly different features from those shown here. The description below, should nevertheless give you a good idea of how to use the WI. Prerequisites Hardware You need a regular LAN connection between a managing computer and one of the link ODUs. The WI can be used directly opposite the HBS any of its HSUs. It can also be used over the air from the HBS to any registered HSU. The WI is available for RADWIN 2000 C Plus, RADWIN 2000 C and RADWIN 2000 B ODUs at release level 2.6.00 or later along with RADWIN 5000 ODUs, from release 3.2.00 or later. Software Your computer should have at least version 6 of MS Internet Explorer. The Web interface also works with other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox version 3 and later. Technical Background You should be familiar with the concepts underlying the RADWIN Manager and preferably with the Manager itself. Special Considerations Working with the WI Advanced Configurations For setup configurations using features such as HSS, VLAN and QoS, you will need to use the RADWIN Manager. Operational Effects Several WI functions cause temporary sync loss. Typically, changing the number of antennas falls into this category. These cases will be pointed out in Warning messages.

Appendix C: MIB Reference Introduction About the MIB The RADWIN MIB is a set of APIs that enables external applications to control RADWIN equipment. The MIB is divided into public and a private API groups: • Public: RFC‐1213 (MIB II) variables, RFC‐1214 (MIB II) System and Interfaces sections • Private: Controlled by RADWIN and supplements the public group. This appendix describes the public and private MIB used by RADWIN. Terminology The following terms are used in this appendix. Term Meaning Management Information Base Application Programming Interface SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol In addition, the MIB uses internally, the older notions of Local site and Remote site where this manual would use site A and site B. To avoid burdening the reader, this appendix will follow the MIB usage. RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 C‐1...
Interface API Chapter C Interface API Control Method The RADWIN Manager application provides all the means to configure and monitor a RADWIN 2000 C Plus link, communicating with the SNMP agent in each ODU. Each SNMP agent contains data on each of the PoEs and ODUs in the link. Both agents communicate with each other over the air using a proprietary protocol. Each ODU has a single MAC address and a single IP address. Note To control and configure the device using the MIB, you should adhere to the following rules: • The connection for control and configuration is to the local site, over any SNMP/UDP/IP network. • All Parameters should be consistent between both of the ODUs. Note that inconsistency of air parameters can break the air connection. To correct air parameters inconsistency you must reconfigure each of the ODUs. • Common practice is to configure the remote site first and then to configure the local site. • For some of the configuration parameters additional action must be taken before the new value is loaded. Please refer to the operation in the parameters description. • Some of the MIB parameters values are product dependent. It is strongly recommend using the RADWIN Manager Application for changing these values. Setting wrong values may cause indeterminate results. Community String To control a link, all SNMP requests should go to the local site IP address. See Table 5‐2 for default Community strings. Private MIB Structure The sections in the private RADWIN MIB and its location in the MIB tree are shown in Figure C‐1 below: RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 C‐2...

Appendix E: Setting Antenna Parameters Antenna Issues The choice of Tx Power, antenna gain and cable loss (between the radio and the antenna) determines the EIRP and is affected by such considerations as radio limitations and regulatory restrictions. Before proceeding to antenna installation details, the following background information should be considered: About Single and Dual Antennas Each RADWIN 2000 C Plus ODU is made of two radio transceivers (radios). The radios make use of algorithms that utilize both Spatial Multiplexing and Diversity resulting in enhanced capacity, range and link availability. The number of antennas (i.e. radios) used is determined by user configuration and by automatic system decisions, explained below. Dual Antennas at the HBS and an HSU When using dual antennas at both sites (single bipolar antenna or two mo‐unipolar antennas) you can choose between Spatial Multiplexing Mode and Diversity Mode. Spatial Multiplexing Mode Under this mode, the system doubles the link capacity. At the same time, it keeps the same rate and modulation per radio as was used with single antenna, thus increasing capacity, range and availability. For example with a dual antenna RADWIN 2000 C Plus can transmit at modulation of 64QAM and FEC of 5/6 and get an air rate of 130 Mbps, compared to 65 Mbps with single antenna. To work in this mode, each antenna port must be connected to an antenna, the RSS level in both receivers should be balanced and a minimal separation between the antennas must be maintained. (For example, by using dual polarization antennas a cross polarization separation is attained). RADWIN 2000 C Plus User Manual Release 3.5.70 E‐1...
Page 283
Single Antennas at Both Sites Chapter E Upon selecting Antenna Type as Dual, RADWIN 2000 C Plus automatically selects this mode and doubles the air rates. RADWIN Manager indicates a case of unbalanced RSS between the two antennas in the HBS panels. Diversity Mode Diversity Mode uses two antennas to improve the quality and reliability of the link. Often, there is not a clear line‐of‐sight (LOS) between transmitter and receiver. Instead the signal is reflected along multiple paths before finally being received. Each such “bounce” can introduce phase shifts, time delays, attenuations, and even distortions that can destructively interfere with one another at the aperture of the receiving antenna. Antenna diversity is especially effective at mitigating these multi‐path situations. This is because multiple antennas afford a receiver several recordings of the same signal. Each antenna will be exposed to a different interference environment. Thus, if one antenna is undergoing a deep fade, it is likely that another has a sufficient signal. Collectively such a system can provide a robust link. Antenna diversity requires antenna separation which is possible by using a dual‐polarization antenna or by two spatially separated antennas. Use Diversity instead of Spatial Multiplexing in the following situations: • When the system cannot operate in Spatial Multiplexing Mode • When one of the receivers has high interference compared to the second receiver (i.e. the system is “unbalanced”) • When you achieve higher capacity in Diversity Mode than in Spatial Multiplexing Mode • When high robustness is of importance and the capacity of Diversity Mode is sufficient (up to 25 Mbps full duplex) Single Antennas at Both Sites By selecting a single antenna at the HBS and HSU, the ODUs operate with a single radio that is connected to the ANT 1 connector. The second radio is automatically shut down. Single at One Site, Dual Antennas at the Other In this mode one of the sites uses the ODU with a single antenna while the other site uses the ODU with a dual antenna. The advantages in this mode in comparison to using a single antenna in both sites are doubled total Tx Power and additional polarization and/or space diversity (depending on the polarization of installed antennas). The air rates used in this mode are same as when using single antennas in both sites.
Single at One Site, Dual Antennas at the Other Chapter E Table E‐1 summarizes the situation: (SM =Spatial Multiplexing) Table E‐1: Spatial Multiplexing ‐ Diversity settings Number of Max Full Antennas Mode Duplex Capacity Site A Site B 50 Mbps Diversity 25 Mbps 25 Mbps 25 Mbps 25 Mbps Site A and B may be HBS or HSU.
