Viewing and Printing 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 5000 HPMP • 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 Terminology • A Point to Multipoint network is typically abbreviated to PtMP. The PtMP networks described in this Manual are of course, radio links. • A PtMP link consists of at least one Base Station (BS) radio linked to several Subscriber Unit (SU) radios. The SUs are sometimes called Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs). The terminology comes from the field of telephony. • The RADWIN 5000 HPMP product suite provides the highest capacity and spectrum effi‐ ciency available in the Point to Multipoint sub‐6 GHz band. We distinguish between generic BSs and SUs and RADWIN units, relabeling the former to HBS and the latter to HSUs (H = high capacity). • The radio links are effected by using a sector antenna with the HBS. The HSUs use direc‐ tional antennas aligned to the HBS. • A Sector consists of a HBS and a group of HSUs within the angular sector covered by the HBS antenna. A Sector is typically 60°, 90° or 120° depending on the choice of antenna. • HBSs may be collocated to provide sectorial coverage up to 360°. The RF characteristics of a Sector will be common to each radio: Frequency (regulation), band and channel bandwidth. Adjacent Sectors in a PtMP network will typically use different frequencies and non‐overlapping bands to mitigate HBS self interference. • A HSU may be defined as fixed, nomadic or mobile. • A fixed HSU is just that ‐ installed at a fixed location. • A nomadic HSU is attached to a vehicle that moves about within a sector and across sec‐ tors inside a well defined area. Service is provided when the vehicle is stationary. • A mobile HSU (HMU) provides service while the vehicle to which it is attached is moving or stationary. The vehicle is typically a railway carriage, a car (automobile) or a ship. A class of HMUs, Vehicular Mobile Units (VMU) provide WiFi service and include an inte‐ grated GPS unit. • Downlink traffic is data transfer from an HBS to an HSU. •...

Chapter 3: Site Survey Planning the Sector Site Overview Sector site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out before any equipment is deployed. If for some reason, the outcome of any of these surveys is negative, HBS or HSU re‐location will need to be considered. A Site Survey consists of three stages: 1. Preliminary survey ‐ The proposed sector is analyzed in the office using a topographic map. You should use additional tools such as the Link Budget Calculator or the Radio Plan‐ ner. 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 sites must be appraised to determine that the wireless system is able to operate efficiently and provide connectivity without signal degradation. RADWIN 5000 HPMP offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency channel must be determined within the operating range, for optimum performance. RADWIN 5000 HPMP 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 designated ODU installation sites and the area between them. To perform a preliminary survey: 1. Mark the 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 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 a sector. 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 build‐ ing. 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 sector sites may double the required antenna height. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 3‐2...
Stage 2: Physical Survey 5. Determine and record the compass bearings between HBS and fixed HSUs, relative to north. 6. If there are obstructions between the two sites, calculate the Fresnel Zone (see Chapter 23 for details). 7. If the sites chosen do 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 sector 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 In what follows, ODU may be an HBS or a fixed HSU: To perform a physical survey: 1. From the compass readings taken in the preliminary survey, find the azimuth (hori‐ zontal position) that each fixed HSU should face towards the HBS. 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 ODUs (having regard for existing rooftop installations and tower space). They should be above any obstructions, considering the Fresnel zone (see Chapter 23). 4. If you need to install any type of ODU on a tower, make sure that the tower is far enough 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. Outdoor CAT‐5e; Maximum cable length: 100m for 10/100BaseT and 75m for 1000BaseT (GbE PoEs) Note 6. Measure and record the path length of the cable from each ODU position to the indoor equipment room. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 3‐3...
Additional Outdoor Site Requirements 7. Determine the ground and lightning connection points of the installation. The ODU and PoE 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 Additional Outdoor Site Requirements The ambient outdoor operating temperature should be ‐35 to 60C (‐31 to 140F). Additional Indoor Site Requirements 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 each of the proposed sector 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. RF Planning for Dense Installations and Collocated Sites Interference may arise from • 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 channel for each collocated RADWIN unit. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 3‐4...
Page 34
RF Planning for Dense Installations and Collocated Sites • 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 from interference). You may be able to change the band used for the sector ‐ depending on HBS model and regulations. • Decreasing the Tx Power of a sector will reduce collocation interference Use the Link Budget Calculator to determine the minimum Tx Power required to maintain sector stability.

Tools required for installation Ethernet cable Repeater The RADWIN Ethernet repeater enables you to extend the PoE to ODU cable beyond the 100m limit (but no more than 200m). The unit is similar in appearance to the lightning protection device in Figure 4‐20. Its use is very simple as shown in the following schematic: Figure 4‐21: Using an Ethernet repeater with lightning protectors The Ethernet repeater cannot be used with GbE IDU‐ODU cables. Note Tools required for installation The following is a list of the equipment and materials required to install RADWIN 5000 HPMP hardware. Tools and Materials • Crimping tool for RJ‐45 (if the ODU‐PoE cable is without connectors) • Spanner/wrench 13 mm (½”) • Drill (for wall mounting only) RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 4‐12...
Cables and connectors • Cable ties • Sealing material • Waterproofing tape such as Scotch 23 Tape ¾” wide, from 3M to ensure IP‐67 compliant protection against water and dust 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 5000 HPMP 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 ...

Protection against Lightning • 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 mounted only in earthed 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 Protection against Lightning The use of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user requirements. All 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.

Note • Ensure that there are no direct obstructions in front of the HSU or interference from man‐made obstacles. Mounting an HSU external antenna Many of the antennas of the types shown in Figure 4‐14 to Figure 4‐16 use the standard mounting kit. Some third party antennas use pole clamps, similar to those shown below: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 4‐26...
Installing Fixed Subscriber Units Figure 4‐36: Pole clamps for external antennas Do not stand in front of a live antenna. Warning Grounding an HSU external antenna External antennas should be individually grounded using a suitable Grounding Kit such as an Andrew Type 223158‐2 (http://www.commscope.com). The same considerations as for the HBS antennas apply here. Grounding the HSU All HSUs have a grounding lug as shown in Figure 4‐37. Connect it to ground using 10 AWG wire. Grounding is often carried out in conjunction with lightning protection. Figure 4‐37: HSU: Grounding lug standard and small form factor Installing a PoE device The same considerations as for an HBS hold for the HSUs. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 4‐27...
Installing Fixed Subscriber Units Connecting the HSU to the Network The same considerations as for an HBS hold for the HSUs. Powering up the HSU from a PoE device The same considerations as for an HBS hold for the HSUs. Establishing a Radio Link ‐ Aligning HSUs to a HBS Use the HSUs buzzer to perform HSU antenna alignment to a HBS. To align an HSU to its HBS: 1. Ensure that the sector antenna of the HBS is aligned precisely to the sector it is intended to cover. Use a compass and topographical maps to do this. 2. For both the HBS and HSUs: Using a coax cable with N‐Type connectors, connect the vertical polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 1 connector of the ODU. Then, using a second coax cable with N‐Type connectors, connect the horizontal polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 2 connector of the ODU. 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 Note sector. 3. Ensure that power is connected to the site PoEs across the sector. An unaligned HSU starts beeping 20 seconds after power up, and continues beeping until it is aligned to the HBS. The alignment details are described in the next two steps. “Antenna” refers both to an external antenna and an integrated antenna. The two steps should be carried out for each HSU in the sector. 4. Make a horizontal sweep of 180 degrees with the HSU antenna so that the strongest signal from the HBS can be detected. 5. Slowly turn the HSU antenna back towards the position of the HBS, listening to the tone until the best signal is reached. See the following figure for audible signal variations. Figure 4‐38: Beep Sequence for antenna alignment RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 4‐28...
Installing a Vehicular Mobile Unit • Three beeps and a pause is 'best signal so far' • Two beeps and a pause is 'signal quality increased' • One beep and pause is 'no change in signal' • Long beep and short pause is 'signal quality decreased' Note • One beep and a long pause is 'no air link' • Any other signal does not relate to antenna alignment 6. Secure the HSU antenna to the pole/wall. The HSU beeping will stop completely when it is configured using the RADWIN Manager. It may also be unconditionally switched off from the Manager. Note Connecting user equipment Typical user equipment includes switches and video cameras. Before connecting user equipment to the HSU through the LAN‐In port of the PoE device, ensure that it powered down. If you are using an AC HSU, you may use the PoE Out port to connect and power a video camera. Follow your camera manufacturer’s instructions scrupulously to avoid damage to your equipment. Mounting lightning protection devices The same considerations as for an HBS hold for the HSUs. Additional consideration for waterproofing Lightning Protectors and Ethernet Repeaters The same considerations as for an HBS hold for the HSUs. External Ports for CAT‐5e Cables The same considerations as for an HBS hold for the HSUs. HSU AC Power ports They should also we waterproofed in the same manner as the other ports. Installing a Vehicular Mobile Unit Scope of this Section The VMU can be installed into almost any ground vehicle. To keep this section as realistic as possible, we use as our example, installation into a private automobile. In our view, this can be the most difficult and challenging situation, due to the limited space in typical compact private vehicles.

The RADWIN Manager Log‐on Concept Figure 5‐3: Log‐on window ‐IPv4 Figure 5‐4: Log‐on window ‐ IPv6 The RADWIN Manager Log‐on Concept RADWIN 5000 supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 either separately or together. The log‐on procedure differs slightly between operation under SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. In what follows below, we assume that SNMPv1 is in use. In Table 5‐6 at end of the section, we show the difference between SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 at log‐on time. 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 5‐3 above). You are offered an extended log‐on window: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐8...
The RADWIN Manager Log‐on Concept Figure 5‐5: Extended log‐on window At the User Type field, click the list button: Figure 5‐6: 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. To set the SNMP version, use the Settings button in Figure 5‐5. A log‐on extension window opens: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐9...
The RADWIN Manager Log‐on Concept Figure 5‐7: Log on window showing SNMP settings. 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 8, Management. If you are connecting through the RNMS server check the RMNS connect button and enter your server IP address. The following table summarizes these options: Table 5‐6: User types, default passwords and function SNMPv1 SNMPv3 Default User Type Function Communi Default Password Community Password ty String Value Observer admin Monitoring Read‐Only public Read‐Only public Installation, Operator admin Read‐Write netman Read‐Write netman configuration Operator plus ...
Log‐on Errors and Cautions The Network Manager should change the default passwords as soon as possible, particularly if SNMPv3 is to be used. Continuing the log‐on procedure: 5. If your User Type is not Operator, then choose it now. 6. Enter the password. 7. If you are a user with Read‐Write permission, click Options to enter the Community options if required. • Leave the default Community passwords, netman for read‐write, and public for read‐only. • If you are a user with read‐only permission, then you may only log on Note as Observer. Log‐on Errors and Cautions Unsupported Device Attempting to connect to an unsupported device on an otherwise valid IP address (for example, a LAN printer) will result in the following error message: Figure 5‐8: Unsupported device message Incorrect IP Address If the IP address chosen is invalid or the sector is unreachable, the following error message will be displayed: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐11...
Incorrect Password Figure 5‐9: Unreachable device message Incorrect Password If you type an incorrect password in the Login window, the following message will be displayed: Figure 5‐10: Invalid user type or password Invalid Read/Write Community String or SNMPv3 Passwords This will result in the same message as shown in Figure 5‐9. To deal with lost or forgotten Community Strings: 1. Send an email request for to RADWIN Customer Service for an alternative key. Your email must include the ODU serial number shown on the adhesive sticker on rear of one of your ODUs. 2. The reply will contain an alternative key, which functions as a temporary master Community String. Copy/paste the supplied alternative key to both the Read‐Only and Read‐Write fields in the log‐on window (Figure 5‐5). This gets you to the RADWIN Manager main window. 3. Use the procedure on page 8‐19 to enter new Community Strings. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐12...
Four Sector Display Views Four Sector Display Views Table View The RADWIN Manager offers three sector display views. The default view for a freshly installed sector is Table view and looks like this: Figure 5‐11: Default Sector display ‐ Table view RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐13...
Page 83
Table View What’s on the Cards ‐ Table View The individual HSU display boxes are called cards. They are used with small variations in the Table and Map views. fixed HSU nomadic HSU nomadic HSU placeholder Figure 5‐12: HSU Cards The card title bar holds as much of the HSU name as fits. • The IP (address) and Loc(ation) are as defined by you during Configuration or Registra‐ tion • The RSS for the HSU and HSU are shown as bar graphs for convenience. They should be balanced. If for one HSU there is a consistent imbalance of even 1dBM or intermittent imbalances of 2‐3 dBm you should check its antenna connections and perhaps the unit itself. If several HSUs are out of balance, there may be a problem with the HBS. • The Level in the nomadic HSU: There are four allowed levels (A to D) allowing a measure of prioritization of nomadic HSUs. We will see how this is done on page 6‐32. • Downlink and Uplink throughput: The green part of each bar shows the Assured throughput based on the number of time slots allocated to the HSU subject to the cur‐ rent sector traffic load. The light blue bar show the Peak throughput, again subject to traffic conditions. The peak throughput may exceed the assured throughput due to the operation of Smart Bandwidth Management (SBM), discussed in detail in Chapter 10. • The Rx and Tx rates at the bottom of the card are the Ethernet receive and transmit rates for the HSU. An extended view showing the Tx and Tx rates for the two antenna chains in also available: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐14...
Map View See Setting RADWIN Manager Preferences, Advanced below. • The little ball on the top left of each card is a status light, which will be explained in Table 5‐11 below. Map View If you have an Internet connection, you may use Map view. The map view uses distinctive icons to distinguish between different types of HSUs and the HBS: fixed HSU nomadic HSU HMU/VMU Figure 5‐13: Map view icons The green “beacon” light on top of the icons changes color according to the unit’s status. The color codes are defined in Table 5‐11 below. The default RADWIN Manager main window looks like this: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐15...
Map View Figure 5‐14: Sector display ‐ Default Map view A new sector with default values for element map coordinates is shown centred on Greenwich (Figure 5‐14). The sector is centered on the HBS azimuth (configurable). The HSUs distributed evenly within the sector beam width (configurable) without regard for geographic considerations. If you do not have an Internet connection, the display background will be solid gray. For this demonstration, we use a sector centered on Melbourne, Australia. The location of the HBS and two fixed HSUs is based on a Radio Plan shown in Table 5‐7. The nomadic HSUs, having no predefined coordinates are distributed evenly across the sector. Later we show you how to change the positions of the HSU icons on the map. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐16...
List View List View The List view looks like this: Figure 5‐15: Sector display ‐ List view At the bottom of the HSU display panel, there is a thin horizontal scroll bar. Use it to see further details about the displayed HSUs. The Index and Name fields are protected so you always know to which HSUs the data belongs. The status indicator ball has the same meaning as it does for the HSU cards and map icons. For details, see Table 5‐11 below. You may restrict the displayed fields to those of interest. If you right click anywhere in the list you are offered a Select Columns button: Clicking it open the filed choice menu: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐17...

List View The grayed out items are always displayed. The other checked items are shown by default, but may be removed. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐18...
Utilization View Utilization View The Utilization view shows how sector resources are allocated between HSUs. It is particularly important since the SBM mechanism can temporarily assign unused downlink time slots to a very busy HSU. It can also temporarily assign unallocated uplink time slots for the same purpose. Figure 5‐16: Default Sector display ‐ Utilization view The elements of the Utilization view are explained in detail in Chapter 10 where SBM is discussed. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐19...
Switching Between Views Switching Between Views To switch between displays: • Click the relevant tab. From left to right, the tabs are, Map view, Table view, List view and Utilization view. The active tab (Table view in the illustration) is shown enlarged. Display View Persistence The last display view used will be that opened at your next restart or log on to the RADWIN Manager. Which Display View Should I Use? Your preferred view is clearly application dependent. For a geographically localized sector ‐ say, video surveillance of a plant or a sports center with a small number of cameras, Table or List view might be adequate. Our own example is based on a backhaul situation for which the Maps view is very helpful. Continuing with our Example Sector Using the Map View To set up a new sector or to carry out substantial changes to an existing sector, you should have a Radio Plan from your Site Survey. The minimum requirement is a list of locations and their coordinates. Here is our plan extracted from Table 5‐2: Table 5‐7: Radio Plan for a small sector Antenna Unit Type Site Name Latitude Longitude height (m) Mozart@HFU.01.02 ‐37.4018 145.0086 fixed HSU Haydn@HFU.01.01 ‐37.8762 145.0437 fixed HSU nomadic HSU Brahms@HNU.01.03 Bach@HBS.01 ‐37.8148...

Using the Map View To relocate a HBS or HSU by setting latitude and longitude coordinates: 1. Right click the HBS (Bach@HBS.01) to open its Context menu and then Configure. 2. Click the Coordinates button to open the Coordinates window and enter the required latitude and longitude. You may enter the coordinates in decimal or degrees/minutes/seconds using the input template shown below: 3. HBS only: The Azimuth and Beam Width determine the sector center‐line direction and angle They are only used for initial default distribution of HSUs on the map. 4. Click OK. The unit is moved to the new location (possibly off‐screen). 5. Repeat the previous four steps for each HSU in the sector. If at the end of the process, the HBS is off‐screen, click the Center on Sector button to “fly” to the sector. Using the example in Table 5‐7, here is the outcome: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐21...
Using the Map View We have located the entire sector to Melbourne, Australia in accordance with our Radio Plan. The grey lines and icons are pre‐registered place‐holders for additional nomadic HSUs. You can make manual location adjustments using the GUI. To relocate a HBS or HSU using the GUI: 1. Select the unit to move by clicking it. It is surrounded by a brown box. 2. Mouse‐over the top edge of the box to get a context button bar as shown in.

Sector Status Panel Sector Status Panel The sector level information is shown here. There is nothing that can be changed for an active sector. The parameters are set before the base station is activated and are duplicated for each HSU in the sector. Figure 5‐20: Sector Status panel The last two items are of special interest: The Status (shown as Active) indicates whether the HBS has been activated or not. The Time Slots bars indicate how many out of 63 time slots in uplink and downlink directions, have been allocated to HSUs. Allocation of time slots between HSUs provides a basic form of prioritization between them. Normally you would not leave unallocated time slots unless you intended to add more HSUs. Every HSU requires at least one time slot. Time slot allocation is closely related to SBM performance detailed in Chapter 10. Base Station Panel The displayed items in the Base Station panel are straight forward. Figure 5‐21: Base Station detail Panel The Tx Ratio shows the allocation of throughput between downlink and uplink traffic at the HBS. Here it is set to 70% downlink and 30% uplink. The Tx Ratio is not only sector‐wide: If you use HSS (Chapter 13 ‐ Chapter 15) to collocated several HBSs (to cover adjacent sectors), they must all use the same Tx Ratio.

HSU Link Status HSU Link Status HSU Events Log The HSU events display is functionally identical to that of the HBS. HSU Link Performance For convenience The HSU Link Performance panel shows the same fields as in Figure 5‐30. For convenience we also display the corresponding parameters for the HBS. The throughput bar graphs and labels have the same meaning as the corresponding items on the HSU cards. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐38...
Setting RADWIN Manager Preferences Setting RADWIN Manager Preferences The Preferences tabs appearing on both the HBS and HSU relate entirely to the way the Manager displays certain items for the connected unit. They are completely local to the managing computer. They are also functionally very similar for both the HBS and HSUs. Each technician servicing a sector will need to set up his managing computer (typically a laptop) with his own preferences. Note Monitor Figure 5‐36: Monitor Preferences ‐ HBS RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐39...
Monitor Figure 5‐37: Monitor Preferences ‐ HSU The Monitor file contains a vast amount of information and can become inordinately large very quickly. You should therefore choose a longer sampling interval if you intend to store this information for a lengthy duration. For the HBS, it will show details for the HBS itself and all registered HSUs. The KMZ button is only relevant to Mobility sectors and otherwise does nothing. For a Mobility sector it opens a standard file search dialog. If you navigate to the last saved Monitor file, it extracts GPS information for VMUs and creates a KMZ file readable by Google Earth. The latter will show you the points traversed by VMUs during the recording period. For a HSU, it will record the information just for that HSU. You should use distinctive file names for HBS and HSU Monitor files. The content of the Monitor file will be discussed in more detail in Chapter 12. The Utilization file shows the data at the requested interval appearing at the bottom of Figure 10‐4. It also can become very large very quickly. The Show IP item is useful if you are using both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The choice of compressed addresses will drop leading zeros and use the :: notation where appropriate. For example, the expanded address, FE80:0000:0000:0000:5AFE:00AA:20A2 compresses to Fe80::5AFE:AA:20A2. Switching the Show IP and Address Format items result in immediate display updating without the ned to press OK or Apply. Note RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 5‐40...

Events Events Here you may choose your own color coding for the Recent Event display (see Monitoring and Diagnostics). You may also choose a location and file name for the events log for storage. These settings are again, per HBS or HSU. To avoid over‐writing, you should use file names reflecting their source ODU. The SNMPv3 User and Password are relevant if you are using SNMPv3. In this, case trap messages are keyed to the user name and password and not visible to anyone else. The preferences entered here, relate to trap messages sent to the specified user if specified or to all trap messages, otherwise.

What Comes Next? Restore Alerts Many alert messages in the RADWIN Manager have an option of the form “Do not show this message again”. These alert messages can be reverted to their default state (shown) by clicking the Restore Alerts button. You will be asked to confirm: Check for Updates If you are not connected to the Internet, disable the Check for updates check box. Enable RSS Balance Indication for Mobility Checking this item places a colored rectangle around unbalanced RSS fields in card view. Enable RSS Extended View Checking this box enables an extended card in Table view. See Figure 6‐8 and Figure 9‐2. Monitoring and Timeout Intervals The monitoring interval determines the lowest interval between request to the ODU for status updates. The timeout (default 1 sec, maximum 5 sec) may have to be increased if you are on a slow network. Setting the Map View Background Mode You have a choice of two map providers, a default or a self‐chosen background. If you log on without an Internet connection, you will get a default gray background or, if you have caching enabled, your last used map. What Comes Next? The purpose of this chapter was to offer an overview of a running RADWIN 5000 a sector. The next three chapters will cover respectively, detailed sector setup considerations, sector management and monitoring and diagnostics. The foregoing background should provide sufficient “signposts” to ensure that you do not become lost in the plethora of details required to commission and manage a fully operational sector.

Chapter 6: Installing the Sector Scope of this Chapter Chapter 5 offered an overview of a running Sector as motivation for the technical installation details set out below. Assuming that the Sector equipment is in place as described in earlier chapters, sector installation has two phases: • Configuring and activating the HBS • Bringing up the HSUs ‐ configuration and registration The same RADWIN Manager program is used for both the HBS and the HSUs. Much of the process is common to both types of ODU. We will cover the HBS in detail; for the HSUs we will concentrate on those items which are different. In any event, where setup procedures are common we will point them out. This chapter covers fixed and nomadic HSU configurations. Mobile HSUs are covered in Chapter 11. Concepts A HBS out of the box, must be configured with • Basic RF parameters such as frequency band, channel bandwidths and Sector ID • Networking parameters such as IP address, subnet mask and default gateway At this point, the HBS is in an inactive state, powered up, configurable but not transmitting anything. Upon activation, the HBS will commence transmitting and receiving packets related to sector management only ‐ that is no service. Activation and Deactivation are effected quite simply by clicking a toggle button. Assuming that the Sector HSUs are mounted aligned and powered up, the HSUs will discover the HBS establishing links for management only. At this point the HSUs may be managed over the air. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 6‐1...
Registration of an HSU enables service traffic between the HSU and the HBS. The HBS keeps track of registered HSUs by maintaining a table of their MAC addresses. Registered fixed HSUs set an internal flag so that they cannot register simultaneously to more than one HBS. During the registration process, you assign time slots to each HSU. A total of 63 time slots are available to each HBS in each of the uplink and downlink directions, to be distributed among the HSUs in the sector. The relative number of time slots determines the relative amount of service each HSU will receive. Each HSU receives at least two time slots. To disable an HSU you must deregister it. (A suspend mechanism is also available, to suspend service on an HSU for a limited period.) For each registered HSU, you can set separately, the uplink and downlink Maximum Information Rate (MIR) in Mbps or leave it as Unlimited. You may also manage an HSU Connection table to enable and disable connectivity between HSUs in a sector. HSUs may be fixed or nomadic. The latter may be move around within and across sectors. Mobile HSUs (HMUs) may also move around within and across sectors. They are covered in Chapter 11. Working with Nomadic HSUs Each nomadic HSU is allocated to one of four HBS levels labelled A, B, C and D. Some operating parameters for each level (such as VLAN, MIR, QoS, time slots, fixed rate, Spatial Multiplexing/Diversity antenna mode) can be different for each level allowing for broad prioritization of service between different types of nomadic units. This requires that each nomadic HSU be assigned a level to join a sector. A nomadic HSU may only send and receive service traffic while stationary. A nomadic HSU detects that it is time to seek the another HBS upon sync loss. Upon entering and stopping in a new sector, it may take several seconds to establish sync with the sector HBS. Changing any of VLAN, MIR, QoS, fixed rate, Spatial Multiplexing/Diversity antenna mode for one configured HSU at a given level, changes all other HSUs at that level. If you add a new HSU to a sector (by direct connection) at a given level, at sync time, it will acquire the existing parameters for that level. Workflow In this chapter, we assume that you are familiar with the graphical user interface described in Chapter 5, including Geographic location. We will concentrate here on sector radio setup workflow. To this end, the installation will be carried out against a blank white background. At the end of the process we will complete the sector by opening the map to reflect our Geographic positioning data. Prior to commencing, you should have a written sector plan along the lines of Table 6‐2. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 6‐2...

That is, up to four vehicles equipped to work in this way, may simultaneously enter the sector. Choose your unit locations carefully. For example, for three collocated HBSs each with 32 HSUs covering 360°, matters get out of hand very quickly if units are poorly named. They can always be identified by their IP addresses, but that is a poor substitute for effective naming. A URL‐like naming pattern based on HBS_n.HSU_y is clear and familiar to all Internet users. Keeping the names IP address independent enables you to copy the entire sector setup to a different geographic location without IP address duplication. Configuring the Sector out of the Box ‐ IP Addresses The default log‐on IP address for all ODUs in the sector is the same: 10.0.0.120, subnet mask 255.0.0.0 and default gateway 0.0.0.0. To get the process started, set up the IP address on the network card on the managing computer to something like 10.0.0.100, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and Default Gateway 0.0.0.0. Ensure that you have a direct LAN connection to the HBS, run the RADWIN Manager and log‐ on to it. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 6‐8...
Configuring the Sector out of the Box ‐ IP Addresses Figure 6‐1: Logging on with factory default IP address Alternatively, you can log on using Local Connection without need to change your Network Interface Card address: Figure 6‐2: Logging on with Local Connection • The Local Connection method uses broadcast packets to “discover” the attached ODU • If you log on using Local Connection, but your physical connection is not local (i.e. anything other than a direct connection between the managing computer and the PoE device), 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 network into Installation or Inactive mode. Warning • In any event, as a precaution, default log‐on over Local Connection is read‐only mode. Check the Read/Write enable box to carry out instal‐ lation procedures. • Network log on (IP address to the ODU) is recommended. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 6‐9...
Log‐On Using a IPv6 Address Log‐On Using a IPv6 Address In Management, we show how to configure the link to use IPv6 address. Logging on with an IPv6 address works as expected, however there are several caveats to its use: 1. There is no “Local Connection” under IPv6, since it does not support IPv4 style broadcast‐ ing. 2. If you are confronted with an ODU configured for IPv6 and you do not have it’s IP address, there is no simple way to log on to the unit. This is a limitation of IPv6, not the hardware. To resolve the problem, you will need to contact Customer Service. 3. To avoid this situation, use weather‐proof adhesive stickers to label each ODU with its IPv6 address.

The Initial RADWIN Manager Main Window Enter the Sector ID, Name and Location. All fields are mandatory. Here are entries in accordance with Table 6‐2. About the Sector ID: Any unregistered HSU will establish a link with the first HBS it detects and inherit the Sector ID from the HBS. As soon as the HSU is registered for service with the HBS, the HSU’s inherited Sector ID can no longer be changed while linked: It is “locked” into the HBS. This mechanism prevents an HSU close to a sector boundary from “drifting” between HBSs for adjacent sectors. Notice that the Sector ID is split into two parts as shown in the previous figure. For a network consisting of sectors with fixed HSUs only, the split is immaterial. If the sec‐ tor is part of a network having non‐fixed HSUs, then each Sector ID for each partici‐ pating sector should have the same four character Network ID. The remaining part is ignored when an HBS establishes a link with a non‐fixed HSU. This feature enables non‐fixed HSUs to establish a link with any HBS in the network.

If you are using Local Connection, log out and log back in to the HBS on its IP address. At this point, you are able to configure the HSUs for service. You may have observed that operating frequency 5.735 GHz shown, is not what we chose (5.820 GHz). The HBS tries to optimize the frequency to minimize interference effects. We next configure and register the HSUs. For fixed HSUs you can do this in either order. For nomadic HSUs you must define the HSU as Nomadic prior to registration. We will show the method below. Our preference is to carry out configuration first for all HSUs.

Notice that we adjusted the Tx Power for all elements in the sector to keep the RSS at a reasonable level. As a partial alternative method, you may enter the HSU Name and Location fields during Registration. If you do not see the changes as shown, a hard reset of the HSUs will cause them to appear. Note Choosing Diversity Antenna Mode During Registration Suppose that in Figure 6‐10 for HFU.10.101 we had chosen Diversity mode, the outcome would look like this: The assured throughput in both directions on this HSU has dropped to about half of its previous value. (The Rx and Tx rates drop slightly. The reason that there is no significant change to the Rx and Tx rates is that the SBM mechanism is allocating additional time slots in both directions. See Chapter 10 for details about the operation of SBM.) The other HSUs are left unchanged. This underlines the flexibility of the RADWIN 5000 system which enables HSUs to be independently configured depending on their particular location.

Deregistering an HSU Deregistering an HSU A HSU may be deregistered by using the Deregister entry in an HSU context menu or using the button from an HSU button bar. Where has my HSU gone? Suppose that you installed two collocated HBSs with contiguous sectors. It is possible that an HSU located close to the common sector boundary may “discover” the wrong HBS. A HSU can be “forced” across to another HBS by changing its Sector ID to that of the required HBS. The method for doing this is covered in Chapter 9. Saving the HBS Settings for Reuse as a Template Refer to Figure 6‐9 of which the following is an excerpt: Following any further fine tuning, open up the HBS Nomadic tab, and click Save. You are offered the standard Save File dialog. Save the HBS Nomadic settings file (MobilitySettings.mob) to a convenient location. For our example we changed the file name to NomadicSettings.mob. Creating Nomadic Entries for a Sector from a HBS Template The saved settings file may be used as a template for further sectors. To create a sector from a HBS Nomadic settings file: 1. Starting with a new HBS and HSUs, log on to the HBS. 2. Activate the HBS in the usual way. 3. Open the Nomadic tab in the Configuration window.

Chapter 7: Operating Under the FCC Unrestricted Contention Based Protocol Scope of this Chapter This chapter explains how to set up a RADWIN 5000 sector 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 Sector 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 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 7‐1...
HSU Operation Figure 7‐1: 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 HBS 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 HBS 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. HSU Operation Since the HSUs take their cue from the HBS in respect of air interface parameters, nothing special is required in their configuration and time slot allocation.

Chapter 8: Managing the Sector Scope of this Chapter This chapter deals with managing the sector from the HBS. It covers HBS Configuration and HSU Configuration from the HBS. HSU direct or over‐the‐air configuration is a little different and is covered in Chapter 9. A Configuration window is available for both the HBS and the HSUs to change setting without necessarily dropping service. Nevertheless care must be exercised when changing them. By way of example, changing antenna parameters for a HSU results in a HSU reset. It is necessary however to have this function in the Configuration window since it is required to initially set up the unit. The HBS itself may be configured over‐the‐air: A scenario for this is where the sector is back‐ hauled by on of the HSUs. There are no significant differences between the two methods, however some care is required. If for example, you deactivate the HBS over‐the‐air, you will lock yourself out of the sector. Running Spectrum View from the HBS manager over‐the‐air, will lock you out for the duration of the Spectrum View timeout period.

System The Backup and Restore buttons provide for backup and restore of the HBS software. A backup (full or configuration) may be restored to another HBS provided that the product IDs and revision levels of the source and target HBSs are identical. They are shown in the HBS Inventory window. In addition, the supported bands and AES version (128 or 256) must be the Note same for the source and restored HBSs. The Refresh button restores the current window to its previous state abandoning any changes you made, provided that you did not click Apply or OK.

Air Interface Air Interface This panel has similar functionality as the corresponding window in the Activation Wizard (see Chapter 6). Changing the Sector ID will “percolate” to all registered HSUs. It will of course, be “picked up” by newly installed and registered HSUs. • The only way to change the Operating Channel is by deactivation and reactivation. • Channel Bandwidth and Channel Selection changes will all be sector‐wide. • Use of Automatic Channel Selection only makes sense at configuration time. Choose a single channel based on what ACS shows. Use the Spectrum View tool (Chapter 24) to help you make your choice. The Advanced bar (shown open) enables you to choose Throughput Mode that determines how the Adaptive Modulation mechanism works. Maximum Throughput (default) should be chosen if throughput is more important than higher delay. Conversely, Reduced Latency minimizes delay at the expense of lower throughput.

Management 4. Click OK to save your choice. Note that for each active trap destination, the Clear Trap Destination button is enabled: VLAN for Management Management VLAN Configuration Figure 8‐1: 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. 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 sector.) To enable VLAN for management: 1. In the window of Figure 8‐1, 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 8‐2: Figure 8‐2: 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 sector managed as part of a network, direct access to a HBS/HSU 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 page 8‐56. • For further details about the Web Interface, see Chapter 25. Telnet and Web Interface access modes when available, are site specific. If for example, you want Telnet access from specific sector members, you should enable it for these sites and disable it elsewhere. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 8‐10...

RADWIN Manager Community Strings In this section, “ODU” may be either an HBS or an HSU. Note 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.

The alternative Community key is unique per ODU and can be used only to change the Community strings. The alternative Community key is supplied with the product, and should be kept in a safe place. If both the read‐write Community and the alternative Community key are unavailable, then an alternative Community key can be obtained from RADWIN Customer Service using the ODU serial number or MAC address. The serial number is located on the product label. The serial number and the MAC address are displayed in the Site Configuration inventory tab.

Date and Time Figure 8‐10: Alternative Community Dialog box Date and Time Setting the Date and 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 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 8‐23...

Ethernet Service Configuration HBS Aging Time The HBS works in Bridge Mode. In Bridge mode the ODU performs both learning and aging, forwarding only relevant packets over the sector. The aging time of the ODU is by default, 300 seconds. Ethernet Ports Configuration The ODU Ethernet port mode is configurable for line speed (10/100/1000BaseT) and duplex mode (half or full duplex). Line speed 1000BaseT is only available if the HBS is connected to A GbE PoE device. An Auto Detect feature is provided, whereby the line speed and duplex mode are detected automatically using auto‐negotiation. Use manual configuration when attached external equipment does not support auto‐negotiation. The default setting is Auto Detect. The icon next to the CRC error count may be clicked to reset the counter to zero. You should not reconfigure the port that is used for the managing computer connection, since a wrong configuration can cause a management disconnection or Ethernet services interruption. Caution To configure the Ethernet Mode: • In the Ethernet Ports Configuration pane, use the drop‐down menu to choose the required mode. Transmission Ratio (Tx Ratio, Asymmetric Allocation)) The Transmission Ratio shows the allocation of throughput between downlink and uplink traffic at the HBS. The Transmission Ratio is not only sector‐wide: If you use HSS (Chapter 13) to collocated several HBSs (to cover adjacent sectors), they must all use the same Transmission Ratio.

Chapter 9: Direct HSU Configuration Scope of this Chapter Direct management of an HSU may be carried out by a LAN connection to a managing computer (on‐site) or over‐the‐air (from the HBS site). There are several differences in the configuration functionality for a directly managed HSU compared to the method of Chapter 8 depending on whether the HSU is registered to a HBS, unregistered or not a member of any sector. Where configuration function is identical under direct connection and through the HBS, we will not repeat the details, which may be seen in Chapter 8.

Chapter 10: Smart Bandwidth Management What is Smart Bandwidth Management Smart Bandwidth Management (SBM) enables busy links to utilize unused time slot resources from relatively idle links. It applies to fixed and nomadic HSUs. It offers ‐ • Peak rates of over100% of assured static allocation for busy links • Enhanced overall sector utilization • Dynamic bandwidth allocation to maximize service provider throughput and adhere to customer SLAs To achieve best sector performance, each HSU is allocated separate uplink and downlink time slots. Downlink traffic is fully under HBS control, so that it can allocate any unused downlink time slots whether allocated or not to a busy link. The busy link may operate at an extremely high peak rates, 1000% utilization not being uncommon. Uplink traffic is unpredictable. Again, in the case of a busy link with other links relatively idle, the HBS will allocate extra uplink time slots to the busy link from free pool only. If all of the uplink time slots are allocated, then SBM will not operate in the uplink direction. The allocation of uplink and downlink time slots becomes a network policy issue. For example, if all the HSUs provide regular internet service, it might be advisable to give each one minimum time slots in both directions (subject to the 63 time slot maximum in each direction) and allow traffic to dynamically determine time slot utilization. Alternatively, if the HSUs are used for backhaul, the minimum number of time slots in either direction should be allocated to meet defined service requirements (such as a SLAs). The RADWIN Manager provides facilities to configure separate uplink and downlink time slots. It further monitors performance, providing tabular and graphic utilization statistics. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐1...
Scope of this Chapter Scope of this Chapter Use of Smart Bandwidth Management (SBM) as a tool to enhance resource utilization involves network management issues beyond the scope of a User Manual. What we will do here, is show how SBM is configured and demonstrate several basic scenarios. Our intent is to “get you started” with SBM by assisting you to develop your own intuition and networking skills setting up highly resource efficient sectors. The first point to keep in mind is that the SBM mechanism is always active in the HBS. It’s not something you can switch on or switch off. The issue here is how to get the best out of it. Terminology and Concepts: Recapitulation It is important both in following the discussion below, and viewing the RADWIN Manager Utilization windows to remember: » Downlink traffic is data transfer from an HBS to an HSU » Uplink traffic is data transfer from an HSU to an HBS » The HBS allocates time slots to sector HSUs in round‐robin fashion to effect time‐shar‐ ing. There are separate sets of 64 time slots for each of the uplink and downlink direc‐ tions. One time slot in each direction is reserved for SBM management leaving 63 in each direction to be allocated to sector HSUs. The uplink and downlink allocations are independent and therefore separately assignable. » For each fixed or nomadic HSU, Assured throughput is determined by the actual num‐ ber of time slots allocated to it in either direction. Peak throughput (higher than Assured throughput) may be achieved by allocating unused downlink time slots or unallocated uplink time slots to very busy HSUs. » Time slot allocation is the only mechanism available for utilization management. » Manual time slot allocation for a fixed HSU is carried out during registration or Ser‐ vice update: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐2...

How SBM Works Figure 10‐2: Service (Time slots) update for a nomadic HSUs How SBM Works Downlink traffic is fully under HBS control, so that it can allocate any unused downlink time slots to a very busy link, whether allocated or in free pool. The busy link may operate at an extremely high throughput, 1000% utilization not being uncommon as will be seen in an example below. Uplink traffic is completely unpredictable. Again, in the case of a very busy link with other links relatively idle, the HBS will allocate extra uplink time slots to the busy link from free pool only. If all of the uplink time slots are allocated, then SBM will not operate in the uplink direction. The RADWIN Manager provides facilities to configure separate uplink and downlink time slots as shown in Figure 10‐1 and Figure 10‐2 above. It further monitors performance, providing tabular and graphic utilization statistics demonstrated below. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐4...
Each case demonstrated below is based on a single HBS with three fixed HSUs. Two of them will be idle and one will be heavily loaded (“the busy HSU”) to demonstrate the following cases: Table 10‐1: Traffic generation examples ‐ Time slot (TS) Allocation Downlink TS Uplink TS Example Purpose allocation allocation Required downlink BW taken from unused All HSUs 2 TS All HSUs 2 TS time slots Busy HSU 2 TS, Required downlink BW taken from others take all All HSUs 2 TS allocated but unused time slots remaining TS Busy HSU 1 TS, All HSUs 2 TS others take all Busy HSU “starved” in uplink direction remaining TS Busy HSU 1 TS, Busy HSU takes unallocated uplink time All HSUs 2 TS others take half slots remaining TS We will look at Example 1 in great detail, to ensure that you understand each item appearing in the SBM Utilization window. Subsequent examples will be explained more briefly, concentrating on utilization issues rather than graphic features. Traffic generation was accomplished by using two parallel Jperf sessions. One sent traffic at 100 Mbps from the HBS to the HSU. The second sent traffic at 50 Mbps from the HSU to the HBS. Both units were driven at maximum capacity.

Example 1 This is useful if you are using a laptop or other device with a small screen. The values in Figure 10‐5 are as expected: The HBS is using a little over half its capacity in the uplink direction. The excess is overhead required to monitor the sector. In the downlink direction, the excess over 50% is incidental as will be seen from the top right graph showing sector utilization as a time line: Figure 10‐6: Sector Utilization ‐ time line ‐ Example 1 The “glitches” are due to Jperf and host computer limitations. The lower pair of graphs show utilization of a selected HSU either sector relative or self‐ relative. Use the selector in the HSU utilization title bar to make a choice. We first look at the HSU based utilization. (In our view, the Sector relative measurements will make more sense if we first understand what is happening at the HSU level.) Figure 10‐7 shows the HSU relative utilization for the selected HSU. The green percentage bars are easy to understand. They are both well over 100% since the whole sector is grossly under‐allocated. Both values are over 1000%! More specifically, if the HSU could only use its two allocated time slots in both directions, it is fairly easy to demonstrate that it would not be able to operate at maximum capacity. Since it is able to “borrow” the unused uplink and downlink time slots, it reaches maximum throughput and operates at over ten times the assured rate define by two time slots in both directions.

The HSU itself is a 50Mbps (aggregate) unit, so it is operating at a maximum capacity of about 25 Mbps in both directions. The black figures above each bar show the actual throughput in Mbps and are updated about once per second. Figure 10‐7: HSU Utilization ‐ HSU Relative ‐ Example 1 Here is the time‐line for the same HSU: Figure 10‐8: HSU Utilization ‐ HSU Relative time line ‐ Example 1 Next, we examine the behavior of this HSU relative to the sector. Figure 10‐9: HSU Utilization ‐ Sector Relative ‐ Example 1 The HSU utilization across the sector is not very different from Figure 10‐5, since have one busy HSU and the rest idle. The busy HSU receives all the resources it needs, as reflected by the blue throughput bars which are almost the same as those in Figure 10‐6. Figure 10‐10 shows the sector relative time line, which is quite steady as to be expected. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐10...

Example 3 Since all unused downlink slots are available to the busy HSU, the utilization graphs for this case are very similar to those of Example 1 and we will not repeat them all. The main difference is in the sector utilization: Figure 10‐12: Sector Utilization ‐ Example 2 The downlink utilization is higher than for Example 1, reflecting the fact that the HBS must spend proportionally more time checking the inactive HSUs. Similarly, the Sector relative HSU downlink utilization is higher by the same amount. Example 3 Downlink Uplink Purpose allocation allocation Busy HSU 1 TS, others take all All HSUs 2 TS Busy HSU “starved” in uplink direction remaining TS In this case, we are deliberately “starving” the busy HSU, by allocating it one uplink time slot and dividing the rest between the inactive HSUs. The situation is shown in Figure 10‐13. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐12...

Example 3 Figure 10‐14: Sector Utilization Pane from the main window for Example 3 Uplink utilization is 100% despite almost no traffic getting through from the busy HSU to the HBS as seen in Figure 10‐15 and the enlarged left hand bar chart in Figure 10‐16 below: Figure 10‐15: HSU Utilization ‐ Sector Relative time line ‐ Example 3 RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐14...

Example 4 Figure 10‐16: HSU Utilization ‐ Sector Relative ‐ Example 3 In all of this, downlink utilization is unaffected and remains as for the first example. The importance of leaving a “pool “of unallocated uplink time slots (if possible) is illustrated in Example 4, which prevents HSU “starvation”. Example 4 Downlink Uplink Purpose allocation allocation Busy HSU 1 TS, others take All HSUs 2 TS Busy HSU takes unallocated uplink time slots half remaining TS This example, as seen in Figure 10‐17 leaves a pool of unallocated UL time slots to avoid busy HSU starvation.

Example 4 Figure 10‐19: HSU Utilization ‐ Sector Relative time line ‐ Example 4 The left hand bar graphs for each section are instructive. Here first, is Sector Utilization: Figure 10‐20: Sector Utilization ‐ Example 4 The downlink results reflect both the actual traffic and HBS monitoring of all the HSUs. The uplink figures reflect the same thing. Despite there being more than adequate free uplink time slots, the HBS overhead of taking care of inactive HSUs is noticeable. Here is HSU self‐relative utilization: Figure 10‐21: HSU Utilization ‐ HSU Relative ‐ Example 4 The percentage utilization here is very high ‐ significantly more so than Example 1. The actual traffic throughputs to the busy HSU are slightly lower ‐ for the same overhead reasons.

About HBS Overhead About HBS Overhead There is always some overhead on the HBS. Recall that one time slot in each of the uplink and downlink directions is reserved by the HBS for sector management. In our four examples we noted that the occurrence of HBS overhead increases when allocating time slots even to “idle” HSUs. As we saw, the percentage point sector load increases as you allocate further downlink time slots, or maintain any unused but allocated uplink time slots. It is straightforward to demonstrate that overhead is also channel‐bandwidth dependent. If you repeat the four examples under 10 and 5 MHz channel bandwidth, the load overhead percentage increases as channel bandwidth decreases. Conversely, if you are able to operate at 40MHz, the overhead percentage drops. To illustrate the effect of different channel bandwidths, we show in order, Example 3 at 10, 20 and 40 MHz: Figure 10‐23: Example 3: Half the uplink time slots reserved at 10 MHz CBW Notice that at 10MHz channel bandwidth, the sector utilization is 100% in both directions! RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐20...
About HBS Overhead Figure 10‐24: Example 3: Half the uplink time slots reserved at 20 MHz CBW At 20 MHz channel bandwidth, the sector utilization is around 80% in the uplink direction and abbot 63% in the uplink direction. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 10‐21...
TCP/IP and other SLA Considerations Figure 10‐25: Example 3: Half the uplink time slots reserved at 40 MHz CBW At 40 MHz channel bandwidth, the sector utilization is around 70% in the uplink direction and abbot 26% in the uplink direction. The percentage sector utilization has dropped dramatically for the same traffic load. TCP/IP and other SLA Considerations The foregoing example were all based on UDP traffic. If the sector traffic has a heavy TCP/IP content (including dependent protocols such as HTTP/HTTPS) you must allow sufficient time slots particularly in the uplink direction to ensure the that TCP/IP ACK messages are transmitted without delay. Some theoretical calculations are possible, but ultimately you will need to use a hardware traffic generator to assist your time slot allocation. This is particularly critical if you are operating a sector with SLA. The same holds true if you are offering a backhaul service with SLA regardless of the traffic packet composition.

Chapter 11: Bringing Up a Mobility Sector Scope of this Chapter Mobility solutions offers powerful, easy to deploy base stations that guarantee high capacity connectivity to ruggedized mobile units mounted on vehicles, trains and ships. RADWIN 5000 Mobility enables: • Perimeter security ‐ two way video transmission between patrol vehicles • On‐board video surveillance and Internet access for public transportation • Oil rig to ship ‐ video and data connectivity • Unmanned vehicle operation – remote control of heavy machinery for mines and ports RADWIN 5000 is designed to ensure that HMUs attain continuous service within a sector and seamless service when crossing into a new sector. Mobility applications are typically large scale projects. A railway application for example, requires a chain of overlapped sectors along hundreds or thousands of kilometers of railway track. The detailed use of RADWIN 5000 elements in a Mobility application is beyond the scope of this manual. The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate the use of RADWIN Manager in bringing up and managing a physically installed Mobility sector. In practice, one sector would be built by hand (as we will do below). The complete sector configuration can be saved and uploaded to further sectors. For Mobility project management questions, please consult RADWIN Customer Service. Concepts Each HMU is allocated to one of four HBS levels labelled A, B, C and D. The operating parameters for each level (such as VLAN, MIR, QoS, time slots, fixed rate, Spatial Multiplexing/Diversity antenna mode) can be different for each level allowing for broad prioritization of service between different types of mobile units. This requires that each HMU be assigned a level to join a sector. The actual joining process is quite dynamic since the HSU will typically move from sector to sector at high speed. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 11‐1...
What You Need Changing any of VLAN, MIR, QoS, fixed rate, Spatial Multiplexing/Diversity antenna mode for one configured HSU at a given level, changes all other HSUs at that level. If you add a new HSU to a sector (by direct connection) at a given level, at sync time, it will acquire the existing parameters for that level. A HMU must be able to send and receive service traffic while moving. To avoid service “glitches” while switching between successive HBSs, the HBS hand‐over time must be very small. For RADWIN 5000 HBSs it is typically less than 500 ms, depending on selection of Mobility channels. A HMU detects that it is time to seek the next HBS when its rate drops below a predefined minimum capacity threshold based on a minimum supported rate. The HBS chosen will be the first found offering an RSS level above a minimum threshold (by default ‐60 dBm), which you can configure for each HMU. If no HBS can be found satisfying the latter criterion, then the HSU will sync with the HBS that has the highest RSS level (even though it is below the RSS Threshold). It is up to the Mobility Project RF planners to ensure that HBSs are spaced with coverage overlap so that on the one hand the HSU RSS level does not fall so low that it loses synchronization between HBSs and on the other hand, successive HBSs do not interfere with one another. In a Mobility project, it is fairly typical to use a fixed channel at each HBS and to have the HSUs configured to use the group of channels used by the HBSs so as to minimize hand‐over time. What You Need The RADWIN 5000 Mobility products are different from the fixed/nomadic products. They have different part numbers. Ensure that your HBS and HSUs as delivered are the Mobility models. Each sector comes with a pre‐installed operating band. You can change it in the usual way. If you do ensure than each of the HSUs is changed. Alternatively (better), bring up the sector as‐ is and change the band sector‐wide. Getting Started We will create a sector with three HMUs. There is no difference in the log‐on procedure to the HBS. To avoid needless repetition and issues not really relevant to this chapter, we will start out with the HBS and the HMUs set to there factory defaults except for the IP addresses. We will maintain the IP addresses used in the previous chapters. In practice, the IP addresses of sector element may well be configured using Direct or Local Connection prior to reproduction of sector parameters from a “template” sector (such as we are creating) and most likely before deployment in the field. Further we will not make any use of the Map view in this chapter. Once again, in practice, a Mobile system would be managed from a NOC using an enterprise standard NMS.

Preparing the HBS The Table view after logging on to the HBS looks like this: Figure 11‐1: Mobile HBS after initial log‐on You activate the HBS in the usual way. Be aware that use of fixed versus automatic channel selection is part of your RF planning. We will maintain the naming scheme used in earlier chapters, but our HSUs will have names like HMU.01.01 and so on (instead of HFU and HNU for fixes and nomadic types). The activation wizard pages are identical to those used for a fixed sector. The first difference between a new activated mobile and fixed sector is that the HSUs do not appear in the Table view. Preparing the HBS Open the Configuration window and then the Mobility tab: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 11‐3...
Page 248
Preparing the HBS Figure 11‐2: HBS Mobility Configuration The maximum distance is a nominal common distance assumed by the HBS for all HMUs in its sector. It is taken as the maximum distance any HSU can be from a HBS. (It effectively guarantees an identical propagation delay for all HSUs in the sector to compensate for rapid HSU movement.) If the distance is set too small, there is a risk of sync loss for distant HSUs; if it is set too large it will reduce performance across the sector. The choice is part of RF planning for Mobility projects and is beyond the scope of this manual. We will pre‐register three HSU slots to levels A, B and C and time slots to each level as shown: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 11‐4...
Page 249
Preparing the HBS The time slots as shown mean 8 downlink and 2 uplink per unit X 3 units at level A and so on up to 63 available time slots in both directions. Click Register, leave the maximum distance as is and click OK to leave the configuration window. Here is the result: We have “place holders” for the maximum allowable HMUs in the sector.

Update Service Figure 11‐3: Configured Mobility sector From this point, you may use the configuration and reporting facilities in the usual way. Update Service In a Mobility sector, service as defined by time‐slot allocation and throughput setting, is carried out at each of the four levels, A‐D. To show how it is done, we will update the service at level A in the sector of Figure 11‐3. To update the service at level A: 1. Right‐click any one of the HMU cards in Figure 11‐3. The following window is dis‐ played: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 11‐13...

Update Service Either Diversity or Auto Selection are recommended. 2. You may change the rate from adaptive to fixed rate (the units are Mbps): Your choice will be largely application dependent. For example, for video applica‐ tions you would use a fixed rate. For Internet access, adaptive is appropriate. For our example, we leave it at adaptive. 3. For illustrative purposes, change the uplink time slots per HMU from 2 to 4. You are asked to confirm the change: 4. Click OK to accept. The change is immediately reflected in the Sector status panel: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 11‐14...

Accessing the VMU with a Web Browser For installation purposes only, the VMU is a DHCP/DNS server and you do not need any IP address. You have enough connectivity to pre‐configure the VMU for service; later you will be able to access it through its LAN cable or through a switch to which it is connected, to effect further configuration changes. While you are connected to the VMU for pre‐configuration, you will probably not have internet access, since the unit uses its own built‐in gateway and DNS resolver. Accessing the VMU with a Web Browser In what follows, we will use Mozilla Firefox, release 16 for demonstration purposes. Launch your web browser; if you have a non‐blank home page, you will see something like this: Whatever the case, clear the URL field and type in one more random characters: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 11‐18...

Continuing Pre‐Configuration change it to make the unit a DHCP client through a switch. The Received and Transmitted figures are cumulative. The VMU operates as one or more virtual AP (VAP) units up to a maximum of eight. For pre‐ configuration purposes, the first available VAP, shown as WLAN 1, is set up by default with name and SSID Install. Do not change the WLAN 1 SSID from Install to anything else until you are certain that you are done with pre‐configuration. Changing the Install SSID moves the unit into “service mode” disabling the DHCP/DNS server, enabling Ethernet service and becoming addressable only over wire through Caution an IP address. Notice further from the WLAN 1 table that each VAP has its own MAC address. From a service perspective, the VAPs look like separate physical AP units. We will configure three VAPs and check each one for connectivity with a remote laptop. Continuing Pre-Configuration Preparing the Radio Parameters The System page items may be configured later. Open the Network page: The Connection Type is Static IP address or DHCP. DHCP is the default.

Chapter 13: Hub Site Synchronization What is Hub Site Synchronization (HSS) 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 third party interfering radios, and whether other RADWIN radios 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 installation site survey. Note RADWIN HSS The RADWIN HSS method uses 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 13‐1 illustrates interference caused by non‐synchronized collocated units. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 13‐1...
RADWIN HSS Figure 13‐1: Interference caused by collocated units Adding HSS removes interference as shown in the next two figures: Figure 13‐2: Collocated units using Hub Site Synchronization (1) Figure 13‐3: 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 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 13‐2...
Page 293
RADWIN HSS • 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 (INU). RADWIN offers two types of HSS: » Serial HSS The RADWIN Serial Hub Site Synchronization (SHSS) 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. SHSS is covered in Chap‐ ter 14. » Ethernet HSS 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 instead of regular PoE devices. Other simple switches may work with degraded per‐ formance. They are not recommended and problems arising from their use will not be eligible for any kind of support. • Collocated ODUs providing E1/T1 services should use an IDU‐C or IDU‐E and then be connected to an IDU‐H 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 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 damage to them.) In this way, up to eight such ODUs may be collocated. You may only use one IDU‐H. That is, they may not be cascaded. Note If you are using an IDU‐C0 (GbE) it must be connected to the IDU‐H LAN port only. Connecting it to the PoE ports will damage the unit and in any event, it will not work.

HSS Concepts: Radio Frame Pattern (RFP) HSS Concepts: Radio Frame Pattern (RFP) A Radio Frame Pattern (RFP) is the cycle duration of transmit and receive of the air‐frame. Without HSS When selecting TDM or Ethernet services, the system automatically and transparently chooses the optimal RFP. When TDM and Ethernet services are configured, the RFP is optimized for TDM. RFP and HSS When HSS is used, the RFP for the collocated radios must be selected manually. RADWIN 2000 uses the Time Division Duplex (TDD) mechanism. Under HSS, TDD enables synchronization of transmission for the collocated units as shown in Figure 13‐4: Figure 13‐4: Radio Frame Pattern Two RFP types (labelled B and E) are available. Under HSS the RFP must be configured by the user depending on the type of the radio products, services and channel bandwidth in accordance with Table 13‐2. The table describe the efficiency of the air interface according to the RFP type, services and channel bandwidth. The tables may also be viewed in the RADWIN Manager and in the Link Budget Calculator. The efficiency of the air interface will vary according to the product used.

The RFP must be the same for each link within the collocated system. Note RFP: General Radio Frame Pattern When setting the RPF, the following considerations should be borne in mind: • When synchronizing RADWIN 5000 HBS units you must use RFP E • When synchronizing RADWIN 5000 HBS with RADWIN 2000 or WinLink 1000 units you must use RFP E • RFP influences capacity and latency. • Using the Link Budget Calculator, you can see the effect of the RFP on the Ethernet throughput. Which Type of HSS to Use You may use both forms of HSS with the HBS. There are however some limitations: • If you collocate an HBS to both a unit supporting SHSS and HSSoE, the HBS must always be HSM • If you collocate with a GSU, you can only use HSSoE and the GSU mast be HSM. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 13‐5...
Chapter 14: Serial Hub Site Synchronization RADWIN Serial HSS The RADWIN Serial Hub Site Synchronization (SHSS) method uses a CAT 5e 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. Since the SHSS unit is still shown in the RADWIN Catalog as an “HSS unit”, in the remainder of this chapter we will continue with this convention on the clear understanding that we are dealing only with SHSS. 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 IDU or 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. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 14‐1...
Page 297
Connecting an HSS Unit Figure 14‐1: 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 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. 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 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 14‐2...
Using a Single HSS Unit Using a Single HSS Unit Figure 14‐2: HSS Wiring schematic The wiring, as shown in Figure 14‐2 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 14‐3. 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 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. Figure 14‐3: 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: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 14‐3...

Chapter 15: Hub Site Synchronization over Ethernet RADWIN Ethernet HSS 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 instead of regular PoE devices. Other simple switches may work with degraded per‐ formance. They are not recommended and problems arising from their use will not be eligible for any kind of support. • Collocated RADWIN 2000 class ODUs providing E1/T1 services should use an IDU‐C or IDU‐E and then be connected to an IDU‐H 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 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 damage to them.) In this way, up to eight such ODUs may be collocated. You may only use one IDU‐H. That is, they may not be cascaded. Note If you are using an IDU‐C0 (GbE) it must be connected to the IDU‐H LAN port only. Connecting it to the P0E ports will damage the unit and in any event, it will not work.

HSSoE Concepts VLAN Tagging should not use the VLAN ID used by HSSoE and vice versa. Caution HSSoE Concepts 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 HSM at the wrong location. Discovery Discovery by the HSM and HSCs is provided using the following choice of filters: Using discovery at the HSM, you can select only those HSCs in the HSM’s domain; when configuring a new HSC you may use discovery to pick the correct HSM. 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. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 15‐2...
Installing Collocated HSSoE ODUs By default, the VLAN ID 1997 and priority 7 are reserved for HSS. You may change the VLAN ID but not the priority. Installing Collocated HSSoE ODUs Ethernet Services Only Use an IDU‐H for the collocated ODUs instead of separate PoE devices. The IDU‐H has two LAN ports, one of which will be connected to a switch. Ethernet and TDM Services For RADWIN 2000 class ODUs: To attain Layer 2 connectivity for up to two such ODUs, you should connect one of the two the IDU‐C (or IDU‐E) LAN ports to the IDU‐H LAN ports. You may use the second IDU‐C (or IDU‐E) LAN port to connect to a switch. As pointed out earlier, you may only collocate two ODUs in this way. Link Configuration and HSSoE Setup for Illustration We will show how to set up our demonstration link from Managing the Sector as HSM and HSC in turn.

Chapter 16: 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. 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 is used. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 16‐1...
GSU Functionality Figure 16‐1: General GSU configuration using both Ethernet and an HSS unit GSU Functionality 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. GSU Kit Contents The GSU package includes: • 1 x GSU • 1 x GSU Mounting Kit • 1 x GPS Antenna • 1 x GPS Antenna Mounting Kit RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 16‐2...
Commissioning and Installation • 1 x RF Cable, 1.5m • RADWIN Manager supplied either on CD or by electronic means Commissioning and Installation Preparing the GSU for Use At the depot, log on to the unit using Local Connection or IP address 10.0.0.120 to change its IP address from the default (10.0.0.120). The method is the same as is used for an HBS. In the example screen captures below, we use 10.104.20.1 with Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0 and Gateway 10.104.10.21. GSU Installation The GSU looks like a small form factor ODU. Mounting the GSU follows the standard pattern. The GPS antenna is mounted outside on a wall or pole. Configuring the GSU Getting Started To configure the GSU, you log on to it, exactly as in Getting Started with the RADWIN Manager.

Chapter 17: Software Backup and Upgrade What is the Software Upgrade Utility? The RADWIN Manager provides a Software Upgrade Utility (SWU) to upgrade the software (firmware) of installed ODUs 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 ODU reset options The default location of the software files is in the installation area, and can be used to restore factory defaults. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 17‐1...
Upgrading an Installed Sector Upgrading an Installed Sector To upgrade software for a link: 1. In the RADWIN Manager, click the Software Upgrade button.The following detached window appears: Figure 17‐1: Software Upgrade Utility ‐ Main window The default sites shown in the Software Upgrade list panel belong to the currently installed sector. The list may be empty if you are running the RADWIN Manager “offline”. 2. The Software upgrade list title bar has three buttons on the right hand side. Figure 17‐2: Add / Remove site buttons The left button opens up a Windows file dialog to locate a list of locations to update. The list has the following format: <IP address>,<Read‐Only community>,<Read‐Write community> For example: 10.104.50.200,netman 10.104.50.4,netman 10.104.50.2,netman 10.104.50.1,netman 10.104.50.3,netman RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 17‐2...
Upgrading an Installed Sector The list should include HBSs and HSUs able to accept the same upgrade. This is unlikely to be a problem unless you are using equipment prior to the 3.3.00 release of RADWIN 5000. Non‐upgradable items will result in an error message. Contact Cus‐ tomer Service about upgrading them. The center button allows you to add a single site: Figure 17‐3: Adding a single site for upgrade Enter the IP address of the site, the Read‐Write Community (Default: netman) and then click OK. The site will appear in the Software Upgrade list box. Items from the list can be cleared by selecting them and then using the right button. The right button in Figure 17‐3, may be ruse to remove one or more selected sites. 3. Having created an update list, click Upgrade Package to chose the relevant files. The default files are located in the SWU subdirectory in the RADWIN Manager installation area. You may see one or more of the following SWU files: Table 17‐1: SWU Files by product File name Product SWU_1k.swu WinLink 1000 SWU_2k.swu RADWIN 2000 SWU_5k.swu RADWIN 5000 SWU_gs.swu RADWIN GSU For RADWIN 5000, always choose SWU_5k.swu. 4. To back up your existing system, check Backup device software check‐box. Then click the button for a standard file dialog. The default location is the My Documents directory on the managing computer or the last backup directory you used. The backup here is the same as that on page 8‐1, and serves the same purpose. It provides a fallback if the upgrade proves problematic. Further information about the backup utility is provided on page 17‐5. Note RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70...

Chapter 18: VLAN Functionality with RADWIN 5000 HPMP VLAN Tagging ‐ Overview VLAN Terminology Both the technical literature and the RADWIN Manager use the terms VLAN ID and VID interchangeably to denote a VLAN identification number. 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 5000 HPMP sector deal with tagging and untagging. Requirements It is assumed that you are familiar with VLAN usage and terminology. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 18‐1...
VLAN Tagging VLAN Tagging VLAN tagging enables multiple bridged networks to transparently share the same physical network link without leakage of information between networks: Figure 18‐1: VLAN scenarios handled by RADWIN 5000 HBS 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. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 18‐2...
VLAN Untagging Figure 18‐2: Separating client data streams using double tagging 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 5000 sector, all VLAN activity is configured and supported from the HSUs. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 18‐3...
Page 330
Port Functionality 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). RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 18‐4...

Port configured to untag user VLAD tags for all frames. Untag all Filter VLAN Configuration Using the RADWIN Manager If you are not a VLAN expert, please be aware that incorrect VLAN configuration may cause havoc on your network. The facilities described below are offered as a service to enable you to get best value from your RADWIN 5000 HPMP links and are provided “as is”. 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 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 18‐6...
Page 333
Managing the HBS over the Air from an HSU • 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 Managing the HBS over the Air from an HSU If traffic VLAN tagging is in force for the HSU ingress direction and management VLAN is in use at the HBS, then the VLAN ID at the HSU ingress direction must be the same as the VLAN ID for management at the HBS. Configuration of VLAN Tagging for Ethernet Service VLAN configuration is carried out per HSU. It is up to you to ensure consistency between the HSUs. HSU VLAN tagging can only be configured from one of the HSU views from the HBS. You can not log on to an HSU directly and do it from the HSU main window. The reason is that the HSU maintains the HSU tagging information in its internal per HSU configuration record. To set up an HSU for VLAN tagging: 1. Right click an HSU on the HBS window, and then click Configure | Ethernet | VLAN Configuration. The VLAN Configuration window is displayed: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 18‐7...

Chapter 19: 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. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 19‐1...
Configuring False Radar Mitigation 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) Configuring False Radar Mitigation The configuration method for the HBS (ETSI and FCC/IC) is the same as for the HSUs (ETSI only). We will demonstrate the HBS for a sector using the 5.3 GHz FCC/IC band: To configure False Radar Mitigation: 1. Log on to the HBS as Installer. 2. Enter the Configuration window and open the Advanced tab. Figure 19‐1: False Radar Mitigation RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 19‐2...
FCC/IC Requirements 3. The DFS Frequency Status Table at the bottom of Figure 19‐1 shows the time, type and frequency of the last radars detected. This table should be used to select the best option(s) to reduce or eliminate false radar detection without completely blocking out real radar detection. 4. Check the mitigation features to be used. 5. When you are satisfied with your configuration parameters, click OK to save them and dismiss the Configuration window. FCC/IC Requirements The FCC requires that devices installed within 35 km of any Terminal Doppler Weather Radars (TDWR) location should be registered in the voluntary WISPA sponsored database.For convenience, we supply guidelines about the way this is done in Chapter 20. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 19‐3...
Chapter 20: FCC/IC DFS Considerations FCC 5.4GHz Device Registration The FCC requires that devices installed within 35 km of any TDWR location should be registered in the voluntary WISPA sponsored database. The FCC has published a TDWR Location Information table that lists the exact location of all TDWR towers (see Table 20‐1 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.

Chapter 21: Quality of Service Prerequisites To use the facility you must be familiar with the use of VLAN (802.1p) or Diffserv. QoS ‐ Overview QoS is a technique for prioritization of network traffic packets during congestion. RADWIN 5000 sectors support two classification criteria, VLAN based or Diffserv based. You may choose which of them to use. Table 21‐1: Default priorities an d allocation by VLAN ID and Diffserv Priority Quality queue Diffserv VLAN 48‐63 6‐7 Real time Near real time (responsive 32‐47 4‐5 applications) 16‐31 2‐3 Controlled load 0‐15 0‐1 Best effort Based upon the classification criterion chosen, received packets will be mapped into one of four quality groups: Real time, Near real time, Controlled load and Best effort. You may partition the total link capacity across the four Quality queues. The default weights as percentages are shown in Table 21‐1. Setting up QoS QoS for RADWIN 5000 is set up in two phases: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 21‐1...
Page 347
Setting up the HBS for QoS 1. The required queues for the sector and their respective priority mappings must be chosen. 2. For each HSU you must configure the required queues, queue weights and queue Maxi‐ mum Information Rate (MIR). The latter must be done for both the Uplink and Downlink directions. Setting up the HBS for QoS From the HBS manager, enter Configuration, open the Ethernet tab and then QoS configuration. QoS is disabled by default. You may choose between the VLAN (802.1p) and Diffserv methods. The default settings for Diffserv and VLAN are as shown in the next two figures: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 21‐2...
Page 348
Setting up an HSU for QoS If you un‐check a queue, it will be disabled for the sector. It will not prevent the HSU from configuring it as “live”. The purpose behind this is to avoid the necessity of reconfiguring QoS for each HSU, should the queue be reinstated. Setting up an HSU for QoS QoS setup for an HSU is carried out from the HBS. To configure an HSU for QoS: 1. Right click an HSU in the HBS manager HSU window, and choose Configuration. 2. Open the Ethernet tab and click QoS Configuration. The following window is displayed: 3. Ensure that the Mode field is Enabled. If you already configured the HBS (sector) for Diffserv or VLAN, then it will be enabled by default. If you need to change the mode, then you probably did not set the sector wide QoS type ‐ but you can go back and do it later. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 21‐3...
Page 349
Setting up an HSU for QoS 4. For each queue, both downlink and uplink (from the HSU) 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. 5. Using the Configurable TTL: Configurable Time‐to‐Live (TTL) is typically used for streaming applications like manned video surveillance. A packet not transmitted within the TTL period in a congested link is dropped. In the manned video surveillance example, the loss of packets under congestion is less important than acquiring the most recent packets. The choice of the TTL duration is therefore, dependent on the tolerance of the user application to transmission “glitches”. 6. When you complete your entries, click OK to save them and continue.

Chapter 22: Capacity Upgrade What is Capacity Upgrade An HSU may have its capacity increased by application of an upgrade license key. The currently available upgrade paths are 5 Mbps to 10 Mbps, 5 Mbps to 25 Mbps and 10 Mbps to 25 Mbps. The capacity upgrade process consists of three steps: • Data Gathering ‐ preparation of a list of HSUs for upgrade by serial number • Acquisition ‐ purchasing the upgrade license keys • Application ‐ activating the capacity upgrade using the RADWIN Manager Applicability Capacity upgrade is only available for fixed HSUs and nomadic HSUs. Data Gathering Open the sector list view: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 22‐1...
Page 351
Data Gathering Select all of the HSUs and then click the circled button. A sector list showing details of the HBS and all of the HSUs is saved to the clipboard. You may recover it as a text file in any text editor. The best view is obtained by saving it to a an empty spreadsheet. Here for example, is our demonstration configuration (with irrelevant columns “squashed” to save space): Extract a sub‐table consisting of the relevant HSUs (in our example, the red rectangles): RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 22‐2...
Acquisition Prepare a table similar to Table 22‐1: Table 22‐1: HSU Capacity Upgrade List HSU Name HSU Serial Number Capacity Upgrade Key Brahms@HNU.01.01 PIN580I500A00003 Haydn@HFU.01.01 PIN580I500A00004 Mozart@HFU.01.02 PIN580I500A00005 Columns 1 is for your own convenience. Later you will copy/paste the capacity upgrade key into column 3 as a permanent convenient record. Acquisition Send the supplier of your equipment a Purchase Order for your Capacity Upgrade List (Use either the original text/spreadsheet file or column 2 of Table 22‐1). Ensure that you include a current email address for receipt of the key list. Upon completion of the order, you will receive an email with an attached list consisting of serial numbers and a licence key per serial number. The licence keys are quite long and it is important that you receive them in electronic format for subsequent copy/pasting. Application Individual HSU Capacity Upgrade The following procedure can be carried out by direct connection to an HSU (typically not active in a sector) or from the HBS. Using your completed Capacity Upgrade table (or the supplied email) and for each HSU in turn, open the Configuration | Operations window. (You may do this from the HBS or by direct connection ‐ whatever is most convenient.) Copy paste the license key to the License Key field. Click the Activate button (will becomes enabled). RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 22‐3...
Page 353
Bulk (Sector) HSU Capacity Upgrade You will receive a confirmatory message if the activation succeeded or an error message if not. In the latter case, you will need to be in contact with your equipment supplier to solve the problem. Bulk (Sector) HSU Capacity Upgrade If all the HSUs are part of a sector (registered or not), you may “bulk” upgrade all of the member HSUs from the supplied text file attached to the email you received from your supplier. Save it to a convenient location for later use. Go to he Configuration | Operations window for the HBS itself (rather than each HSU separately). Use the License File option to navigate to your text file. Click the Activate button, which is now enabled. Again, pay careful attention to the confirmation or error messages. Completing the Capacity Upgrade To make the upgrade effective, each upgraded HSU must be reset. Persistency of the Capacity Upgrade The upgrade is persistent across an HSU reset. If however, you restore a capacity upgraded HSU to factory defaults, you will need to apply the capacity upgrade to it again. This further underlines the importance of saving the license keys attachment file in a safe place and maintaining a record like Table 22‐1. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 22‐4...
Chapter 23: Link Budget Calculator Overview The Link Budget Calculator is a utility for calculating the expected performance of the RADWIN 5000 HPMP wireless link within a sector 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 • HSU series used • Channel Bandwidth (currently 10 and 20MHz) • 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 RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70...

It is always widest in the middle of the path between the two antennas. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 23‐3...
About the Fresnel Zone Figure 23‐1: 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 23‐1 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 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 23‐4...

Chapter 24: Spectrum View What is Spectrum View The RADWIN Manager Spectrum View utility is an RF survey tool designed to support the sector installation prior to full sector 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 HBS and HSUs ‐ all by selection. A general sector level Highest Interference view is also provided. 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. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 24‐1...
Two Ways to Run Spectrum View Two Ways to Run Spectrum View Spectrum View may be run from the HBS in which case you have a choice of analyzing all sites in the sector in one run, or making a selection. Spectrum View may also be run on a managing computer directly connected to an HSU. Remember that in such a case the results will be quite different if the HSU is part of a sector (registered or not) or if it is completely stand‐alone, for example using a different spectral range and operating Band from the HBS. In the former case, expect a “noise hump” around the channels used by the sector, due to the duty signals from the HBS. Where is the Spectrum View Data stored Spectrum View data is always stored in the ODU originating the analysis. The HBS maintains the last Spectrum View analysis data for all members of the sector. If you run Spectrum View from a directly connected HSU, it stores its own data, which may be quite different from the analysis obtained for the same HSU from the HBS. Spectrum View Main Window: HBS In this section we review the main window management controls. Click the Spectrum View button .

Running Spectrum View from a HSU See Figure 24‐2 for the color coding. Running Spectrum View from a HSU There is no difference in principle between running a Spectrum View analysis for a HSU and running it for a HBS.

You can also log on over the air to registered HSUs in the same way. For stand‐alone or unregistered HSUs, you must connect a managing computer directly to the HSU and again log on as shown below. 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 sector 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 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.

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. Some Working Tips You can: » Log on to a ODU on the default IP address of 10.0.0.120/8, set the Link ID and IP address instead of using the RADWIN Manager as in Chapter 6. Unlike the Local Con‐ nection method, you need to reset the ODU to see the change in the Web Interface. » Change the operating Band of an HSU instead of using the RADWIN Manager as in Chapter 8. You can revert it the same way or by a direct connection, logged on as Installer. You cannot change the operating Band of the HBS in this way. » Look at Recent Events for either site You cannot: » Change default Tx power » Configure Spatial Multiplexing/Diversity » Manage other features such as GSU (when supported), VLAN, QoS » Perform Software upgrade Be very careful: » Using this tool if your link is providing Customer Service which may not be interrupted with sync‐losses RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 25‐6...

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 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 C‐1...
Interface API Interface API Control Method The RADWIN Manager application provides all the means to configure and monitor a RADWIN 5000 HPMP 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 5‐6 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 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 C‐2...
MIB Parameters Figure C‐1: Top Level Sections of the private MIB The products MIB section contains the definition of the Object IDs for the two form factors of the ODUs, Integrated Antenna and Connectorized (referred in the MIB as external antenna) and GSU (where applicable): Figure C‐2: Product MIB The GpsSynchronizerFamily MIB defines the GSU. The general MIB include a single generic parameter that is used by all traps as a trap description parameter. MIB Parameters The following section describes all of the MIB parameters. The MIB parameters follow the following naming convention: RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 C‐3...

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 5000 HPMP 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 5000 HPMP 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 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 E‐1...

Single Antennas at Both Sites Upon selecting Antenna Type as Dual, RADWIN 5000 HPMP 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. RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70...

Considerations for Changing Antenna Parameters Table E‐2: RADWIN 5000 HPMP Air rates (Continued) Air‐Rate [Mbps] Antenna Modulation 20 MHz 40 MHz Dual 64QAM Dual 64QAM Considerations for Changing Antenna Parameters Let: max Available Tx Power denote the maximum Tx Power practically available from an ODU. (It appears as Tx Power per Radio.) maxRegEIRP denote the maximum EIRP available by regulation. It will be determined by three factors: • per band/regulation • per channel bandwidth • antenna gain maxRegTxPower denote the maximum regulatory Tx Power for the equipment, also having regard the above three points. Then, the following relationship must be satisfied: maxAvailableTxPower min maxRegEIRP ... (*) – AntennaGain CableLoss maxRegTxPower The Tx Power (per radio) indicates the power of each radio inside the ODU and is used for Link Budget Calculations. The Tx Power (System) shows the total transmission power of the ODU and is used to calculate the EIRP according to regulations.

Considerations for Changing Antenna Parameters The inequality (*) above is always satisfied by the system in accordance with the relevant regulation. The precise relationship between the items in inequality (*) is as follows: • Required Tx Power (per radio) will be adjusted down to the lesser of the value entered and maxAvailableTxPower • Tx Power (system) is maxAvailableTxPower + 3 (for 2 radios) • Max EIRP is maxRegEIRP. • EIRP is maxAvailableTx Power + Antenna Gain ‐ Cable Loss RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual Release 3.5.70 E‐5...
