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
