    2.1.2 Link Availability Harris provides a free tool to users that wish to perform a simple evaluation of a single RF-7800W radio link under ideal environmental and terrain conditions. The Link Budget Tool (included with CD-ROM) provides a rudimentary calculation of annual Link Availability (Uptime) and can help users choose the right antenna for their specific installation.

    (Harris PN 12069-0030-Axxx and 12069-0031-Axxx) • Dual-linear (V/H) polarized antennas in order to operate at full throughput capacity. (Harris PN RF-7800W- AT2XX) The installation site should be free from major twist or sway under wind loading. A higher mounting location will help guarantee better Line of Sight (LOS) conditions, but can increase the risk of damage due to lightning.

    RF-7800W SYSTEM INSTALLATION Connect an Ethernet cable between the IN port on the PoE injector and computer. Configure the computer's IP address so that it is different than the radio's default IP address (192.168.26.2), but also on the same subnet (255.255.255.0). The address should be in the range 192.168.26.1 - 192.168.26.254.

    RF-7800W SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION 3.10.4 Spectrum Sweep The radio comes with the ability to survey the area for potential sources of interference, including weather radar, Wi-Fi devices, high voltage power distribution, or other high-power radios. See Figure 3-23. NOTE Spectrum Sweep reduces the maximum possible user data throughput by around 10 percent.

    GUI CLI Figure 3-24. The radio can be upgraded with new software that is posted to the Harris Premier site (https://tcpremier.harris.com). The upgrade files can be delivered to the radio via FTP, TFTP, SFTP, or directly via the GUI. The radio contains enough memory to store two versions of software. When a new version is uploaded, it overwrites the inactive version.

    RF-7800W SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION 3.10.10 Test An Administrator can temporarily test the configuration before saving it permanently. This is done by entering “Test” mode and applying (but not saving) settings. This can be useful if the desired configuration change could result in dropping communication to a radio that is being configured.

    RF-7800W DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS CHAPTER 4 DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS INTRODUCTION The RF-7800W radio can be deployed in various At-the-Halt and On-the-Move scenarios, which may require different configurations. AT-THE-HALT For fixed and nomadic infrastructure deployments, the appropriate System Mode should be selected, depending on the number of required Subscriber Stations (SS).
  • Page 87: Sptp

    RF-7800W DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS 4.2.2 SPTP Simple Point to Point (SPTP) supports one SS at a time per SC. See Figure 4-2. Both radios must operate on the same Frequency and Channel Width. While SPMP can be used with one SS, SPTP is optimized to operate with only one SS and therefore has slightly different behavior.
  • Page 88 RF-7800W DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS Figure 4-4, the panels of the figure are described below: Panel 1 - The SS is linked to SC 1, while also seeing signal from SC 2. Panel 2 - The SS maintains a link to SC 1, while the signal from SC 2 improves and the signal from SC N becomes present.

    RF-7800W TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE CHAPTER 5 TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE INTRODUCTION This chapter provides troubleshooting data necessary for fault isolation and preventive maintenance guidelines. 5.1.1 Scope of this Chapter The procedures presented in this chapter assume that a Level I fault has led the user to suspect a fault with the RF-7800W HCLOS Radio.
  • Page 91: Factory Default Reset Time Frame

    RF-7800W TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE NOTE The Telnet session must connect to the RF-7800W HCLOS Radio within approximately 20 seconds from when the radio starts responding to pings. Logging into the default IP Address will cause the unit to be reset to the factory default configuration.
  • Page 92: Factory Default Reset Behavior

    Symptom: The radio is not able to be managed remotely. • Solution: The default radio IP address is 192.168.26.2. A Console Port cable (Harris PN 12069-3901-Axxx) can be used to locally log into the radio to determine the IP address if the IP address has been changed. If this is not an option, the radio can be power cycled in such a way that will reset the radio's IP address to the default.
  • Page 93: Wireless Troubleshooting

    RF-7800W TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE Problem: HTTP, Telnet, and SNMPv2 are not accessible when FIPS Mode is enabled. • Symptom: Some of the radio's management interfaces are accessible, but others are not. • Solution: This is a requirement for FIPS mode. Use the HTTPS, SSH, and SNMPv3 interfaces. Problem: An untrusted SSL Certificate has been loaded into the radio.
  • Page 94: Preventive Maintenance

    RF-7800W TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE Is the link properly configured on the SC? (SPMP) Log into the SC GUI and click the name of the link in Configuration > Subscriber Links. (SPTP) Log into the SC GUI and check Configuration > Link. Subscriber MAC must be the MAC address of the SS radio for Normal Links or the STID and STID Password Hash must match that of the SS if using a Link Template.
