Page 20: Chapter 3: Site Survey
Chapter 3: Site Survey 3.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter presents some general guidelines about conducting a site survey, which is a plan of what radio units to place where and in what configuration. 3.2 Planning the Link Site Similar models only can work opposite each other (that is, RADWIN 2000 A+ vs. RADWIN 2000 A+, RADWIN 2000 C+ vs. RADWIN 2000 C+, RADWIN 2000 D+ vs. RADWIN 2000 D+ and RADWIN 2000i vs. RADWIN 2000i), even though their maximum throughput might be the same. 3.2.1 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). RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 3‐1...
Page 21: The Site Survey
The Site Survey 3.3 The Site Survey 3.3.1 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+ Series offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency channel must be determined within the operating range, for optimum performance. 3.3.2 Recommended Equipment Stage 1: Preliminary Survey • Topological map of the area • Urban map of the area • Compass Stage 2: Physical Survey • 100 meter tape measure • Ohmmeter, to check ground connection • Binoculars • • 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) 3.4 Stage 1: Preliminary Survey...
Page 22: Stage 2: Physical Survey
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. 5. Determine and record the compass bearings between both radio units, relative to north. 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. 3.5 Stage 2: Physical Survey During this stage, you review 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. When we mention “ODU”, we mean an outdoor radio unit, or its antenna. If you are working with the RADWIN 2000i, which is an indoor unit and requires an external antenna, replace the term “ODU” with “the radio unit’s antenna”.  To perform a physical survey: 1. From the compass readings taken in the preliminary survey, find the azimuth (hori‐ zontal position) that the first 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 ...
Page 23: Additional Outdoor Site Requirements
The IDU ‐ radio cable length limit is 100m, in accordance with 10/100BaseT interface. 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. 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 3.5.1 Additional Outdoor Site Requirements The ambient outdoor operating temperature should be ‐35 to 60C (‐31 to 140F). 3.5.2 Additional Indoor Site Requirements The following requirements guarantee proper operation of the system: • For IDU‐C/IDU‐H/HP and RADWIN 2000i units, allow at least 90 cm (36 “) of front clear‐ ance for operating and maintenance 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 3.6 Stage 3: RF Survey At this stage, you must examine 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. Familiarize yourself with the spectrum analyzer before going out on site, specifically the Max Hold and Marker functions. Perform the RF survey at both proposed link sites. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 3‐4...
Page 24: Rf Planning For Dense Installations And Collocated Sites
RF Planning for Dense Installations and Collocated Sites Carry 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 Setting window (see Figure 6‐4) moving into the green area. 3.7 RF Planning for Dense Installations and Collocated Sites Interference may arise 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, implement Hub Site Synchronization (HSS). This synchro‐ nizes the transmission/reception times of the collocated radio 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+ Series 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. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40...
Page 25: Chapter 4: Hardware Installation
Chapter 4: Hardware Installation 4.1 Scope of This Chapter This chapter covers the procedures for the hardware installation and alignment of a RADWIN 2000+ Series sector in accordance with prior planning. (See Site Survey.) It is intended to assist qualified field technicians. 4.2 Safety Practices and Provisions 4.2.1 Preventing Overexposure to RF Energy To protect against overexposure to RF energy, install the antennas of the units 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. 4.2.2 Grounding All RADWIN products should be grounded during operation. In addition: • All ODUs should be grounded by a wire with diameter of at least 10 AWG. RADWIN 2000+ Series 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+ Series ODUs must be grounded to a Protective Ground in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations. The RG‐45 connector must be connected to the ground shield of the CAT‐5e cable. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 4‐1...
Page 26: Protection Against Lightning
Protection Against Lightning • The ground lug on an IDU‐H/HP should be connected to the protective ground at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack‐mounted equipment should be mounted only in grounded racks and cabinets. Further, you should ‐ • Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last • Never connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment • Ensure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground 4.2.3 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. For CAT‐5E cables, RADWIN recommends the use of the LPU (Lightning Protection Unit). For RF cables, RADWIN recommends the use of additional surge arrestor devices to protect the equipment from nearby lightning strikes. 4.2.4 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, 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.

Page 63: Antenna Alignment
Antenna Alignment Figure 4‐56: Waterproofing an external connection 4.11 Antenna Alignment • An audible buzzer is used on both the Master ODU and the Slave ODU. If the external antenna is positioned so far away from the unit so as to make the buzzer inaudible, you may need to use two people to perform antenna alignment. • Antenna alignment is carried out in three stages: • Master ODU gross alignment • Slave ODU fine alignment • Master ODU fine alignment 4.11.1 Antenna Alignment Procedure 1. Ensure that power is connected to all radio units. 2. If you are working with an external antenna, connect the vertical polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 1 connector of the radio unit, and the horizontal polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 2 connector of the radio unit. There is no particular reason to use ANT 1 and ANT 2 in that order: They just have to be the same for each ODU in the sector. Further, adopting a convention like “ANT 1 is always vertical” avoids mistakes across a large sector. Ensure that the buzzer on both radio units is configured to Auto (see Link Configuration Tool Bar on page 7‐27). An unaligned ODU starts beeping 20 seconds after power up, and continues beeping until it is aligned. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 4‐39...
Page 64: Figure 4-57 Beep Sequence
5. From the Slave ODU, make a horizontal sweep of 180 degrees with its antenna so that the strongest signal from the Master ODU can be detected. 6. Slowly turn the Slave ODU antenna back towards the position of the Master ODU, listening to the tone until the best signal is reached. See the following figure for audible signal variations. Figure 4‐57: Beep Sequence for antenna alignment • Three beeps and a pause is 'best signal so far' • Two beeps and a pause is 'signal quality increased' • One beep and short pause is 'no change in signal' • Long beep and short pause is 'signal quality decreased' • One beep and a long pause is 'no air link' • Any other signal does not relate to antenna alignment 7. Secure the Slave ODU antenna to the pole/wall. 8. Repeat the above steps from the Master ODU, listening to its buzzer: make a horizontal sweep of 180 degrees with its antenna so that the strongest signal from the Slave ODU can be detected. 9. Slowly turn the Master ODU antenna back towards the position of the Slave ODU, listening to the tone until the best signal is reached. 10. Secure the Master ODU antenna to the pole/wall. Turn off the buzzer of the radio units from the RADWIN Manager (see Link Configuration Tool Bar on page 7‐27). 1.

Log‐On with Local Connection 5.3.3 Log‐On with Local Connection Alternatively, you can log on using Local Connection (Figure 5‐2) without having to change your Network Interface Card address. • The Local Connection method uses broadcast packets to “discover” the attached radio unit. • If you log on using Local Connection, but your physical connection is not local, then any configuration you carry out may affect other links in the network. Do not do this! • Do not carry out this procedure using a multi homed managing com‐ puter also connected to a network. It will flood the network with broadcast packets. Further, it will throw any other links on the net‐ work into Installation or Inactive mode. • As a precaution, default log‐on over Local Connection is read‐only mode. Check the Read/Write enable box to carry out installation pro‐ cedures. • Network log on (IP address to the radio unit) is recommended. 5.4 Other Log‐on Options SNMPv3: RADWIN 2000+ Series supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 either separately or together. The log‐on procedure differs slightly between operation under SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. Table 5‐2 shows the difference between SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 at log‐on time. User Types: The RADWIN Manager provides three levels of access in one of two entry modes. To see them, click Options at any time in the Log on window (Figure 5‐ 2 above).

This unit is called the Master ODU. The other unit is called the Slave ODU. This terminology describes their relative roles. In the RADWIN Manager software application, the dominant unit is also called Radio Terminal A (RT‐A(HBS)), and the other unit is called Radio Terminal B (RT‐B(HSU)). This terminology is taken from point‐to‐multipoint technology, where one unit is a Base Station (HBS), and is the dominant unit, and the other units are Subscriber Units (HSU), where there can be multiple Subscriber Units. All 2000+ radios are shipped from the factory defined as Slave ODUs. You must re‐define one as a Master ODU. Instructions for doing this are found in Define One Unit as an RT‐A(HBS). Although any side can be a Master ODU or Slave ODU, take the following into consideration when determining which side will be defined as either: RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 5‐10...

Chapter 6: Initial Link Configuration 6.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter covers 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. 6.2 Link Establishment 6.2.1 Link Configuration Workflow As soon power and network connections are supplied to the radio unit, it will commence transmitting and receiving packets related to management only ‐ that is, no service traffic will be sent or received. Activation: For the RT‐A(HBS) to carry out service, it must be activated. Activation and Deactivation are effected quite simply by clicking a toggle button. Discovery: Assuming that the radio unit intended as the RT‐B(HSU) (Slave ODU) is mounted, aligned, and powered up, it will discover the RT‐A(HBS) establishing a link for management only. At this point the RT‐B(HSU) may be managed over the air. Registration: Having Identified the Link RT‐B(HSU), the latter must be registered to the RT‐ A(HBS) to enable traffic between them. Following registration, you can set separately, • MIMO mode • Transmission ratio between uplink and downlink • Uplink and downlink Maximum Information Rate (MIR) in Mbps RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 6‐1...

Note that for each active trap destination, the Clear Trap Destination button is enabled: VLAN for Management Management VLAN Configuration Figure 7‐4: VLAN for Management VLAN IDs are used by RADWIN products in three separate contexts: Management VLAN, Traffic VLAN and Ethernet Ring. It is recommended that you use different VLAN IDs for each context. 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 radio unit.

Enter a Priority number between 0 and 7. The VLAN priority is used for the traffic sent from the ODU to the managing com‐ puter. 4. Change the VLAN ID and Priority of the managing computer NIC to be the same as those of steps 2 and 3 respectively. 5. Click Apply or OK. 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. If the managing computer is directly connected to an ODU, and you enable management VLAN, you will lose connectivity. To log on again, You will need to configure the managing computer NIC to use the management VLAN number. 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: RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 7‐10...
Page 124 Management For a link managed as part of a network, direct access 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 Using the Web Interface. 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 site and disable it for others. Conversely, If the Telnet or Web Interface access modes pose a general security risk, you must disable them for each site separately.

Page 134 Management 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. The read‐write Community strings and read‐only Community strings have a minimum of five alphanumeric characters. (bru1 and bru4097 are not permitted). Changing the trap Community is optional and is done by clicking the check box. Editing SNMPv1 Community Strings When editing these strings, both read‐write and read‐only communities must be defined. Upon logging on for the first time, use the following as the current Community: • For Read‐Write Community, use netman. • For Read‐Only Community, use public. • For Trap Community, use public  To change a Community string: 1. Type the current read‐write Community (default is netman). 2. Choose the communities to be changed by clicking the check box. 3. Type the new Community string and re‐type to confirm. A community string must contain at least five and no more than 32 characters excluding SPACE, TAB, and any of “>#@|*?;." 4. Click OK to save.

Page 136: Figure 7-13 Alternativec
Management Figure 7‐13: 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 firewall 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 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, for example: w32tm /stripchart /computer:216.218.192.202 RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 7‐23...

The only valid items are the recordings following the re‐sync. Figure 8‐4: Performance Monitoring report ‐ Showing invalid data Use the Save button to store the current data to a file and the Clear button to delete currently stored performance data. 8.4.2 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+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 8‐9...

Chapter 9: Hub Site Synchronization 9.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter describes what is hub site synchronization, why it is needed, and an overview of the various ways it is implemented in a RADWIN radio system. 9.2 What is Hub Site Synchronization (HSS)? When several radio units are co‐located at a common site, interference may occur from one unit to another. This interference, if it occurs, happens when at a given moment in time one unit is transmitting, but the other is receiving: the receiving unit may detect the transmitting signals of its immediate neighbor instead of (or in addition to) signals from where it should. Figure 9‐1 illustrates interference caused by non‐synchronized co‐located units: If Unit1 is receiving at a given moment from Unit1A, and at that same moment Unit2 is transmitting to Unit2A, Unit1 might receive signals directly from Unit2. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 9‐1...
Page 156: Figure 9-1 Interference Caused
What is Hub Site Synchronization (HSS)? Unit1A Unit1 Unit2 Unit2A Figure 9‐1: Interference caused by collocated units This interference can be mitigated by using different frequencies for the Unit1/1A pair and the Unit2/2A pair, but this not always feasible. Hub Site Synchronization (HSS) is a technique that prevents this interference from occurring without requiring the co‐located units to use different frequencies. This synchronization ensures that all co‐located units transmit and receive at the same time, as illustrated below: Figure 9‐2: Collocated units using Hub Site Synchronization (1) RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 9‐2...
Page 157: Hss Implementation
HSS Implementation Figure 9‐3: Collocated units using Hub Site Synchronization (2) 9.3 HSS Implementation HSS is implemented using a master (which transmits synchronization pulses), where the rest of the co‐located units are defined as clients. These client radio units synchronize their transmission to the pulses received by the master. HSS can be carried out between all co‐located RADWIN radio products, so long as they are defined as a base station. 9.3.1 Radio Frame Pattern The synchronization signal is transmitted once per a specific time period, and determines when the co‐located units will transmit and when they will receive. This cycle of transmit and receive is called the Radio Frame Pattern. Figure 9‐4 shows the Radio Frame Pattern of 3 co‐ located outdoor units (ODUs). Figure 9‐4: Radio Frame Pattern If the master is one of the co‐located ODUs, it is called the Hub Site Master (HSM). The other co‐located ODUs are called the Hub Site Clients (HSC). RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 9‐3...
Page 158: Hss Types
HSS Types Although the master unit can be defined as one of the co‐located radio units, a GPS signal can also furnish a synchronization signal. In this case, all the co‐located units are clients, and the “master” is the GPS signal source. 9.3.2 HSS Types RADWIN offers several types of HSS: Serial HSS The RADWIN Serial Hub Site Synchronization (SHSS) method uses an external HSS unit that is connected between the HSS master radio unit to all collocated radio units; this cable carries the synchronization pulses sent to each radio unit, which synchronize their transmission with each other. SHSS is covered in Serial Hub Site Synchronization. SHSS can be used with the RADWIN 2000 C+ and RADWIN 2000 D+ only. Ethernet HSS The Ethernet HSS (HSSoE) method connects the co‐located radio units via an ethernet connection. One co‐located unit is defined as the HSS master, and it sends its synchro‐ nization pulses to the HSS clients via the ethernet connection. HSSoE is covered in Hub Site Synchronization over Ethernet. GPS HSS The GHSS method uses a GPS signal as the master, and all co‐located radio units are defined as clients. For the RADWIN 2000 A+, RADWIN 2000 C+, and RADWIN 2000 D+, an additional GPS unit is required to receive the GPS signals. For the RADWIN 2000i, no such unit is required as it has an internal GPS capability. GHSS is covered in GPS Hub Site Synchronization. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 9‐4...

All collocated units using SHSS connect to this box using a CAT‐5e cable. A single HSS unit can support up to ten collocated ODUs. The HSS unit is supplied with ten protective covers; any port not in use must be closed with a protective cover. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 10‐1...
Page 160 Connecting an HSS Unit Figure 10‐1: 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 in order to maintain the connectivity. • You may cascade (daisy‐chain) two or more HSS Units with an HSS cable. The method is described in detail below.  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. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 10‐2...
Page 161: Using A Single Hss Unit
Using a Single HSS Unit 10.2.2 Using a Single HSS Unit Figure 10‐2: HSS Wiring schematic The wiring for a single HSS is shown in Figure 10‐2. The Sync signal path is as follows: If we set ODU 1 (on SYNC 1) to HSS Master, the Sync signal path is as shown in Figure 10‐3. 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 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. Figure 10‐3: HSS sync signal path with ODU 1 as HSS Master RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 10‐3...

Chapter 11: Hub Site Synchronization over Ethernet 11.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter describes Ethernet hub site synchronization (EHSS), and how to implement it. 11.2 RADWIN Ethernet HSS 11.2.1 Ethernet HSS Requirements The RADWIN Ethernet Hub Site Synchronization (HSSoE) method provides intra‐site synchronization without the need for external cables or an HSS unit. Sync signals are exchanged between collocated radios over the regular Ethernet connection. The Ethernet HSS (HSSoE) method requires Layer 2 Ethernet connectivity between collocated ODUs. It has two requirements: • Collocated ODUs providing Ethernet services only, should be connected to an IDU‐H/ HP instead of regular PoE devices. Other simple switches may work with degraded performance. They are not recommended and problems arising from their use will not be eligible for any kind of support. • Collocated RADWIN 2000+ Series class ODUs providing E1/T1 services should use an IDU‐C or IDU‐E and then be connected to an IDU‐H/HP functioning as a switch. One of the LAN ports on the IDU‐C or IDU‐E is connected to any of the six IDU‐H/HP PoE ports or the two LAN ports. (This is possible because the IDU‐C or IDU‐E LAN cable only uses four pins for data; the power pins are not used so there is no risk of dam‐ age to them.) In this way, up to eight such ODUs may be collocated. If you are using an IDU‐C0 (GbE) it must be connected to the IDU‐H/HP LAN port only. Connecting it to the P0E ports will damage the unit and in any event, it will not work. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 11‐1...
Page 168: Hssoe Concepts
HSSoE Concepts VLAN Tagging should not use the VLAN ID used by HSSoE and vice versa. 11.2.2 HSSoE Concepts ODUs For HSSoE purposes, an ODU is any RADWIN radio supporting it, even if the radio is in fact an indoor unit. Sync Frames Sync frames are exchanged between collocated ODUs using Layer‐2 broadcasting. Domain To prevent network flooding, each group of collocated ODUs is configured with an internal “domain name”. The default name must be changed to prevent sync frames being received over the LAN by another ODU, which could be then mistakenly configured as a client of an HSS master at the wrong location. Discovery Discovery by the HSS master and HSS clients is provided using the following choice of filters: RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 11‐2...
Page 169 HSSoE Concepts Using discovery at the HSS master, you can select only those HSS clients in the HSS master’s domain; when configuring a new HSS client you may use discovery to pick the correct HSS master. VLAN VLAN is used to separate sync frames from traffic so as to give sync frames highest priority. If you have collocated ODUs running close to full capacity, failure to do so, would result in excessive jitter and dropped traffic frames. By default, the VLAN ID 1997 and priority 7 are reserved for HSS. You may change the VLAN ID but not the priority. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 11‐3...

The GPS satellite signal acts as a master, and each collocated RT‐A(HBS) unit that receives this synchronization signal acts as an HSS Client (HSC). GHSS works differently if there is an internal GPS capability: • RT‐A(HBS) units based on the RADWIN 2000 A+, RADWIN 2000 C+, or RADWIN 2000 D+ require additional external equipment to work with the GPS‐based synchronization sig‐ nal. • RT‐A(HBS) units based on the RADWIN 2000i has an integrated GPS unit, which is used to receive this GPS‐based synchronization signal. 12.3 GHSS for the RADWIN 2000 A+, RADWIN 2000 C+, or RADWIN 2000 D+ GHSS for the RADWIN 2000i is covered in GHSS for the RADWIN 2000i on page 12‐8.

Page 179: Gsu
12.3.1 GSU The GSU is an outdoor unit consisting of a small size enclosure, a GPS antenna and a PoE device. It may be operated through an HSS unit or over Ethernet. For use over Ethernet, the GSU requires Layer 2 connectivity to the multiple Hub‐Sites that it is required to synchronize. It synchronizes the transmission timing of these Hub‐Sites to the same clock source thus eliminating mutual interference. Typically, an IDU‐H/HP is used. Figure 12‐1: General GSU configuration using both Ethernet and an HSS unit The GSU receives a synchronization signal from the GPS once per second. It distributes a RADWIN proprietary synchronization signal to all other ODU units using a proprietary synchronization signal over Ethernet. When the GSU doesn’t receive a synchronization signal from the GPS for 30 seconds, it moves automatically to Self‐Generation mode until the GPS recovers. 12.3.2 GSU Kit Contents The GSU package includes: RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 12‐2...

Page 186: Transmission Phase Shift
Transmission Phase Shift 12.4.2 Transmission Phase Shift In the case shown in Figure 12‐5 above, RT‐A(HBS) A1 transmits and receives opposite RT‐ B(HSU) B1. So, when RT‐A(HBS) A1 transmits, RT‐B(HSU) B1 must receive, and vice‐versa. The above Radio Frame Pattern will then appear as follows: However, RT‐A(HBS) B1 is co‐located with RT‐B(HSU) B1. As can be seen, this will cause interference between these co‐located units. To prevent this, RT‐A(HBS) B1 must have its transmission phase shifted. That is, the transmission and receive times of RT‐A(HBS) B1 must be reversed, as shown: As a result, the radio frame pattern of RT‐A(HBS) B1 is synchronized with that of RT‐B(HSU) B1, and there is no interference between these two units. Configuring GHSS with an Internal GPS Unit below describes how to configure the RT‐A(HBS) for this. 1. Another option is to shift the transmission phase of HBS A1 instead of HBS B1, but that requires shifting the phases of *all* HBS units at Site A1, which is more time‐consuming.

Before you can change the Protocol from Ethernet to GPS, you must first choose the Operational State as Hub Sync Client ‐ Continue Tx or Hub Sync Client ‐ Disable Tx, according to your preference. • 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 possible 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. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 12‐11...

Chapter 13: Software Upgrade 13.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter describes the software upgrade utility, and how and when to use it. 13.2 What is the Software Upgrade Utility? The RADWIN Manager provides a Software Upgrade Utility (SWU) to upgrade the software (firmware) of installed radio units in a network. The update files may be located anywhere accessible by the operator. The SWU provides for: • Prior backup of the current files prior to upgrade • Upgrade from a list • Delayed upgrade • Various radio unit reset options The default location of the software files is in the installation area, and can be used to restore factory defaults. 13.3 Upgrading an Installed Link  To upgrade software for a link: 1. In the RADWIN Manager, click the Tools | Software Upgrade button.The following detached window appears: RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 13‐1...

Page 201: Chapter 15: Vlan Functionality
Chapter 15: VLAN Functionality 15.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter describes how the components of a RADWIN 2000+ Series link deal with VLAN tagging and untagging. 15.2 VLAN Tagging ‐ Overview 15.2.1 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. Reminder: RT‐A(HBS) always means the Master ODU and RT‐B(HSU) always means the Slave ODU. 15.2.2 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. 15.3 Requirements It is assumed that you are familiar with VLAN usage and terminology. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 15‐1...
Page 202: Vlan Tagging
VLAN Tagging 15.4 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. 15.4.1 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 RT‐B(HSU) removes the QinQ tag with EtherType = 0x9100 no matter what the value of its VLAN ID. 15.4.2 VLAN Untagging VLAN Untagging means the removal of a VLAN or a Provider tag. 15.4.3 Port Functionality In a 2000+ link, all VLAN activity is configured and supported from the RT‐B(HSU). To this end, VLAN functionality is supported at the LAN port of the RT‐B(HSU). The RT‐B(HSU) LAN port can be configured to handle Ethernet frames at the ingress direction (where frames enter the RT‐B(HSU)) and at the egress direction (where frames exit the RT‐ B(HSU)).

Under no circumstances does RADWIN accept responsibility for network system or financial damages arising from incorrect use of these VLAN facilities. 15.5.1 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+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 15‐4...
Page 205: Configuration Of Vlan Tagging For Ethernet Service
Configuration of VLAN Tagging for Ethernet Service • The outer tag has to be the Provider’s tag (so the frame is not filtered) • The internal tag has to be management VLAN ID To avoid mix‐ups, best practice is to: • Separate the management and data ports • Define only a data port with Provider function 15.5.2 Configuration of VLAN Tagging for Ethernet Service  To set up an RT‐B(HSU) for VLAN tagging: 1. Open Link Configuration | Ethernet and then click the VLAN Configuration button. In Disabled mode, Ethernet frames pass transparently over the radio links. 2. For Provider tagging, click the Provider Radio button: In Provider mode, Ethernet frames are tagged with the provider’s VLAN ID before they enter into the provider’s network/backbone. 3. Enter a Provider VLAN ID and Priority. The VLAN ID must be in the range 2 to 4094. The VLAN Priority must be in the range 0 to 7. You may also change the TPID from the default as shown. 4. Click OK to accept. 5. For user VLAN tagging, click the Tag Radio button: RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 15‐5...

Chapter 16: Quality of Service 16.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter describes how to set various levels of Quality of Service (QoS) for a RADWIN 2000+ Series lnk. 16.2 Prerequisites To use the facility you must be familiar with the use of VLAN (802.1p) or Diffserv. 16.3 QoS ‐ Overview QoS is a technique for prioritization of network traffic packets during congestion. RADWIN 2000+ Series links support two classification criteria, VLAN based or Diffserv based. You may choose which of them to use.

You may partition the total link capacity across the four Quality queues. The default weights as percentages are shown in Table 16‐1. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 16‐1...

RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 16‐3...
Page 211: Assigning Queue Priorities
Assigning Queue Priorities 16.4.2 Assigning Queue Priorities Four mechanisms are available to control queue performance: • Strict ‐ An over‐the‐air packet is loaded first with data from Real Tome queue (see Figure 16‐2), and then from the remaining queues in order. If there is too much data for the first queue, it will “starve” the lower queues and so on. • Weight ‐ One solution to such “starvation” is to weight input flow to the four queues. This could still lead to wasted resources. If in the example below, the actual traffic is all Near Real Time, only 20% will be allocated to Near real time and the rest will be held up. • Maximum Information Rate (MIR) ‐ This is a simple throttle mechanism, which suffers from a drawback similar to the previous case. • Time to Live (TTL) in ms ‐ This device is use to reduce re‐transmits of real time data (such as voice or viewed video).  To configure queue priorities for uplink and downlink in turn: 1. For each queue, both downlink and uplink enter the required weight, MIR and TTL. The MIR and TTL may respectively be left Unlimited and Disabled in which case the system will use a “best effort” method. If you exceed 100% total weight, you will receive an error message. Figure 16‐2: The four QoS data queues 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. When you complete your entries, in the QoS Configuration window (Figure 16‐1), click OK to save them and continue. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 16‐4...

Chapter 17: False Radar Mitigation Facilities 17.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter describes how to configure the units in a RADWIN 2000+ Series link so as to avoid interfering with certain radar systems. 17.2 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. 17.3 DFS and False Radar Mitigation 17.3.1 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. 17.3.2 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. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 17‐1...
Page 213: Configuring False Radar Mitigation
Configuring False Radar Mitigation 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. 2. Elimination of detection of specific false radar types by blocking detection of false radars of a specific type. There are three types of radars: • Fixed: False radars with fixed pulse width having fixed repetition frequency • Variable: False radars with variable pulse width having variable repetition frequency • Staggered: False radars with variable repetition frequency within a burst period (Applies to 5.4 GHz ETSI only) 17.4 Configuring False Radar Mitigation The configuration method for the Master ODU (ETSI and FCC/IC) is the same as for the Slave ODU (ETSI only). We will demonstrate the Master ODU for a link using the 5.3 GHz FCC/IC band:  To configure False Radar Mitigation: 1. Log on to the Master ODU as Installer. 2. Enter the Configuration window and open the Advanced tab. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 17‐2...

The FCC has published a TDWR Location Information table that lists the exact location of all TDWR towers (see Table 18‐1 at the end of the chapter). 1. When installing a 5.4 GHz device define your exact location (latitude and longitude) 2. Use the TDWR Location Information table to determine if the distance between the device and any TDWR tower is less than 35 km. 3. If the distance is less than 35 km then register the device in the voluntary WISPA sponsored database (following section) 4. Disable the frequencies between 5570 – 5680 MHz from the available channels list. 5. The frequency range between 5.600 to 5.650 GHz is not included in the available channels list. 18.3 Registering the Device  To register a device: 1.

Chapter 19: Link Budget Calculator 19.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter describes the Link Budget Calculator and how to use it. 19.2 Overview The Link Budget Calculator is a utility for calculating the expected performance of the RADWIN 2000+ Series 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. 19.2.1 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 • Radio unit series used • Channel Bandwidth • Tx Power (maximum Tx power per modulation is validated) • Antenna Type (currently dual; cannot be changed for radio unit 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 RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 19‐1...

Page 225: About The Fresnel Zone
About the Fresnel Zone 19.4 About the Fresnel Zone The Fresnel zone is an elliptically shaped conical zone of electromagnetic energy that propagates from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna. It is always widest in the middle of the path between the two antennas. Figure 19‐1: 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. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 19‐4...
Page 226: Running The Link Budget Calculator
Running the Link Budget Calculator The concept of the Fresnel zone is shown in Figure 19‐1 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.

Page 233: Chapter 20: Spectrum View
Chapter 20: Spectrum View 20.1 Scope of this Chapter This chapter shows how to use the Spectrum View tool. We assume that the reader knows about RF Spectrum Analysis 20.2 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. 20.3 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. 20.4 Two Ways to Run Spectrum View Spectrum View may be run from RT‐A(HBS) in which case you have a choice of analyzing both sites in the link in one run, or choosing just one. RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 20‐1...
Page 234: Where Is The Spectrum View Data Stored
Where is the Spectrum View Data stored Spectrum View may also be run on a managing computer directly connected to the RT‐ B(HSU). Remember that in such a case the results will be quite different if the RT‐B(HSU) 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 RT‐A(HBS). In the former case, expect a “noise hump” around the channels used by the link, due to the duty signals from the RT‐ A(HBS). 20.5 Where is the Spectrum View Data stored Spectrum View data is always stored in the ODU originating the analysis. The RT‐A(HBS) 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 RT‐B(HSU) from the RT‐A(HBS). 20.6 Spectrum View Main Window In this section we review the main window management controls. From the Tools tab, choose Spectrum View. The Spectrum View main window opens in full screen mode: RADWIN 2000+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 20‐2...

Page 256: Appendix C: Setting Antenna Parameters
Appendix C: Setting Antenna Parameters C.1 Antenna Issues Before proceeding to antenna installation details, the following background information should be considered: C.2 About Single and Dual Antennas Each RADWIN 2000+ Series 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 used is determined by user configuration and by automatic system decisions, explained below. C.2.1 Dual Antennas at the RT‐A(HBS) and RT‐B(HSU) When using dual antennas at both sites (single bipolar antenna or two 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, at 80MHz CBW, using a dual antenna, a RADWIN 2000 D+ radio unit can transmit at modulation of 256QAM and FEC of 5/6 and get an air rate of 866.7 Mbps, compared to 433.3 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+ Series User Manual Release 4.2.40 C‐1...
Page 257: C.2.2 Single Antennas At Both Sites
Single Antennas at Both Sites Upon selecting Antenna Type as Dual, a RADWIN 2000+ Series radio automatically selects this mode and doubles the air rates. The RADWIN Manager indicates a case of unbalanced RSS between the two antennas in the center panel. 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 a separation between the antennas; this is done 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) C.2.2 Single Antennas at Both Sites By selecting a single antenna at both sites, the radio units operate with a single radio that is connected to the ANT 1 connector. The second radio is automatically shut down. C.2.3 Single at One Site, Dual Antennas at the Other In this mode one of the sites uses the radio unit with a single antenna while the other site uses the radio unit 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).
