Notifications • For good legibility, use a commercial grade laser printer. A color printer is of course best, however a monochrome printer set to use gray‐scale gives acceptable results • Better quality ink jet printers also give good output Notifications Notifications consist of Warnings, Cautions and Notes. The purpose of a Note is to • Draw your attention to something that may not be obvious or counter‐ intuitive • Emphasize a special feature or peculiarity of the RADWIN 2000 • 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 degradation Caution Occasionally we use a Note as a Tip: This is about a useful short‐cut or method not otherwise obvious.

Where the link is completely internal to a corporation, the choice of the local and remote is just a matter of convenience. A link then, consists of two sites. • In Broadband Wireless terminology, the local and remote sites are sometimes referred to as “near” and “far”, “HQ” and “remote” and so on. The site which is closer to the network core (often the local site) will be referred to as site A, and the opposite side of the link, usually closer to the end user, as site B. This choice is application‐neutral and will be used throughout the manual both to describe the sites and their names as in the examples. • The link is configured and managed using a PC, the managing computer connected to site A. (The precise requirements for the managing computer are set out on page 4‐1). We will occasionally need to distinguish between the site to which the managing computer is connected, and the second site, when they are not necessarily A or B. The former will be called the managing site and the latter, the over‐the‐air site. Which is which, is always determined by the location of the managing computer. • RADWIN 2000 supports three connection methods for the managing computer: • Local ‐ a direct peer to peer connection between the Ethernet ports on the managing computer and the IDU or PoE device. Local connection is always read‐write. • Network ‐ the managing computer and the site A IDU or PoE device belong to a LAN and communicate through a router or switch • Over‐the‐air ‐ the managing computer connects to site B via the air interface • The managing computer may be connected to the link through an IDU or a PoE device. In what follows, where ever we refer to an IDU it includes PoE devices unless stated oth‐ erwise. Typically, if we need to refer to an IDU as such, we will use a model name such as IDU‐C. • The terms uplink and downlink, originate from the field of Satellite communications. In a backhaul or ISP context, uplink is from the user to the network and downlink is from the network to the user. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 1‐3...

Key Features of RADWIN 2000 » Simple installation and management RADWIN 2000 systems are extremely simple to install and maintain. They are typically up and running in less than an hour. The RADWIN Manager application has full local and remote management capabilities. The user‐friendly SNMP based management tool provides full end‐to‐end configuration, event logging, and performance monitoring capabilities. » Enhanced Security The security features of RADWIN 2000 include: • RADWIN 2000 AES 128‐bit integrated advanced encryption support provides enhanced air interface security for carriers and private networks. It ensures user data protection with one of the most sophisticated commercially available combined encryption and authentication techniques, CCM/AES. This technique combines mes‐ sage authentication (preventing anti‐spoofing and replay protection) with commer‐ cial encryption, and complies with the IEEE 802.11i (phase iii) recommendations. CCM/AES uses a symmetric 128‐bit encryption key (EK), and a nonce, and pro‐ vides both message encryption and authenticating signature. The nonce enables the receiver to remember already received genuine messages and reject all replayed messages. • Initial encryption and authentication is based on a user‐defined master key (Link Password). While standard Wireless LAN encrypts only the Ethernet Payload, the AES encrypts both the source and destination MAC addresses. • In addition to normal log on access, Read or Write Community access is available at log on • Link Lock is a part of the RADWIN 2000 security concept. It is designed to discourage physical theft of units and “piggybacking” using an otherwise identical ODU to steal bandwidth or information. It locks a pair of synchronized ODUs for mutually exclusive communication. • Supports SNMPv3 » SFP support in the IDU‐C and IDU‐H Standard SFP modules are used, enabling any type of Ethernet physical connectivity including various fiber connections. E3/T3 or E1/T1 over Ethernet SFPs can be used as ...
Components of a RADWIN 2000 Link Components of a RADWIN 2000 Link Major Components A link consists of a pair of hardware‐identical sites. The major element of each site is the ODU radio transceiver. The ODU actually contains two radios, which may be connected to a dual pole integrated or external antenna. The ODU itself is connected to a PoE device or an IDU that provides power and L2 ethernet data transport. The PoE or IDU provides an Ethernet LAN connection to user equipment (typically a switch). Accessories RADWIN provides a variety of accessories to support the RADWIN 2000 system: • PoE devices ‐ Both Gigabit and 100 Mbps • HSS unit ‐ Collocation unit for intra‐site synchronization • IDU‐H Aggregation unit for a collocated hub site instead of multiple PoE devices • GSU for inter‐site synchronization • Antennas • AC Power Adaptors • ODU and antenna mounting kits • Lightning protector for use with all RADWIN outdoor products • Ethernet repeater ‐ enables you to extend non‐GbE PoE ‐ ODU cables beyond the 100m limit • CAT 5e cables of various lengths specifically for use with RADWIN radios and PoE devices • Grounding cables Link Management Tools RADWIN Manager The RADWIN Manager is an SNMP‐based management application which manages a complete link over a single IP address.

Chapter 3: Site Survey Planning the Link Site Overview Link site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out before any equipment is brought to the site. If for some reason, the outcome of any of these surveys is negative, site re‐location will need to be considered. A Site Survey consists of three stages: 1. Preliminary survey ‐ The proposed link is analyzed in the office using a topographic map. 2. Physical survey ‐ The locations of the indoor and outdoor equipment are determined on‐ site. 3. Radio Frequency (RF) survey ‐ It is recommended that the installation area be scanned with a spectrum analyzer, to identify RF interference so as to determine a clear channel for radio installation (on‐site). The Site Survey Introduction RADWIN wireless links must be planned before installation. The designated installation site must be appraised to determine that the wireless system is able to operate efficiently and provide connectivity without signal degradation. RADWIN 2000 offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency channel must be determined within the operating range, for optimum performance. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 3‐1...
• Digital camera • Paper, pencil, and a clipboard • GPS device (optional) • Compass (optional) Stage 3: RF Survey • Spectrum Analyzer with Max Hold function and screen capture facility that can store multiple images, for documentation purposes • RF accessories (connectors and cables) • Communication devices (for example, cellular phones, or a set of walkie‐talkies) Stage 1: Preliminary Survey A preliminary survey is necessary before visiting potential installation sites. As much detail as possible should be obtained about the two designated ODU installation sites and the area between them. To perform a preliminary survey: 1. Mark the two designated installation sites on a topographic map of the area. 2. Measure the distance between the sites; check that it is within the specified range of the equipment. 3. On the urban map, check for developed areas situated between the two installation sites. Pay attention to these areas when performing the physical site survey; there may be tall buildings, RF towers, or transmitters, which could cause interference to the link. 4. Check the area between the two sites for obstructions such as: • High ground ‐ hills or mountains • Lakes or large bodies of water. Water has a reflection effect on RF signals like a building. This type of reflection causes the received amplitude to be reduced. As a rule of thumb, the presence of a large body of water between the link sites may double the required antenna height. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 3‐2...
Stage 2: Physical Survey 5. Determine and record the compass bearings between both ODUs, relative to north. 6. If there are obstructions between the two sites, calculate the Fresnel Zone (see Chapter 27 for details). 7. If the site chosen does not meet requirements, consider alternative sites. 8. Use the Link Budget Calculator (on the CD supplied with the equipment or using the RADWIN Manager) to determine the expected performance. Stage 2: Physical Survey The physical site survey reviews the environment of the proposed installation location, to ensure that the link sites are suitable for the wireless network. The results of the physical site survey should be recorded. It is advisable to go on a clear day, so you can more easily see any obstructions between the two sites. Note To perform a physical survey: 1. From the compass readings taken in the preliminary survey, find the azimuth (hori‐ zontal position) that the ODU should face towards the second ODU. 2. Using binoculars, locate any obstructions such as tall trees, high buildings, hills or mountains. Look for other RF towers between the two sites. Mark the locations of the obstructions on the map. 3. Determine the location for the ODU (having regard for existing rooftop installations and tower space). It should be above any obstructions, considering the Fresnel zone (see Chapter 27). 4. If you need to install the ODU on a tower, make sure that the tower is far away from overhead electric power lines. 5. Determine a location for the indoor equipment; it should be as close as possible to the ODU. At an existing site, there is probably an equipment room with cable‐routing channels. The IDU ‐ ODU cable length limit is 100m, in accordance with 10/100BaseT interface. Note 6. Measure and record the path length of the cable from the ODU position to the indoor equipment room. 7. Determine the ground and lightning connection points of the installation. The ODU and IDU must both be grounded. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 3‐3...
Additional Outdoor Site Requirements 8. Using the Ohmmeter, measure and record the resistance of the required installation to the grounding point. The resistance must be less than 1O ohm. 9. Review the results of the physical site survey. Decide if the site is suitable for the wireless network installation. • If the site is suitable, continue with stage 3, the RF survey • If the site is not suitable, survey another site Additional Outdoor Site Requirements The ambient outdoor operating temperature should be ‐35 to 60C (‐31 to 140F). Additional Indoor Site Requirements The following requirements guarantee proper operation of the system: • For IDU‐C units, allow at least 90 cm (36 “) of front clearance for operating and mainte‐ nance accessibility. Allow at least 10 cm (4 “) clearance at the rear of the unit for signal lines and interface cables • The ambient operating temperature should be 0 to 50°C (32 to 122 °F) at a humidity of up to 90%, non condensing Stage 3: RF Survey The RF survey examines the wireless environment of the installation site, to determine whether there are available channels within the radio operating frequency band. An RF survey is performed using a spectrum analyzer. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the spectrum analyzer before going out on site, specifically the Max Hold and Marker functions. You should perform the RF survey at both proposed link sites. The survey should be carried out during a busy time of day, to best judge the worst‐case radio interference. Allow 2‐4 hours duration for a good RF survey. It is possible to install the link and use the RADWIN Manager to find a clear channel. Each frequency channel can be evaluated in turn. Achievement of a clear channel is indicated by the marker in the Quality bar on the Channel Note Setting window (see Figure 6‐6) moving into the green area.

Page 41
RF Planning for Dense Installations and Collocated Sites • Self interference from collocated RADWIN radios • Other collocated radio devices installed on the same site. To avoid or minimize interference, follow these recommendations: • For collocated RADWIN units, use an HSS unit to synchronize between them. Select a different operating channels for each collocated RADWIN unit. • If one or more collocated units are not RADWIN units, ensure that there is a physical separation of at least three meters between a RADWIN unit and any other collocated radio on the site. • Use the largest possible frequency gap between these units. • Choose the best frequency channel (as clear as possible form interference). You may have to use the Change Band facility available for all RADWIN 2000 products. • To select a frequency channel, move the link to Installation Mode (using Site configura‐ tion) and start the Installation wizard. In the Channel Settings window, use the quality bar at the bottom to help you choose a better channel (clearer of interference). • Use the Spectrum View tool to find the best working channel (Tools | Spectrum View). • Decreasing the Tx Power of a link will reduce collocation interference (Site Configura‐ tion | Air Interface). Use the Link Budget Calculator to determine the minimum Tx Power required to maintain link stability. Note RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 3‐5...

Tools required for installation Figure 4‐18: 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 2000 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) • 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 RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 4‐11...
• 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 Preventing Overexposure to RF Energy To protect against overexposure to RF energy, install the ODUs so as to provide and maintain minimal separation distances from all persons. When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF fields are present when the transmitter is on. The ODU must not be deployed in a location where it is possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of the antenna. Grounding All RADWIN products should be grounded during operation. In addition: • All ODUs should be earthed by a wire with diameter of at least 10 AWG. RADWIN 2000 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 the outdoor unit, mast, lead‐in wire and discharge unit. It also lays down the size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes. RADWIN 2000 ODUs must be grounded to a Protective Earth in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations. • The earth lug on any IDU 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 RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30...
Protection against Lightning • Ensure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground Protection against Lightning The use of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user requirements. All of RADWIN outdoor units are designed with surge limiting circuits to minimize the risk of damage due to lightning strikes. RADWIN recommends the use of additional lightning protector devices to protect the equipment from nearby lightning strikes. General • It is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be contracted to a professional installer. • Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, you should remove jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts. • Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines. • Use extreme care when working at heights. • When using an AC power source for RADWIN devices, always use the AC power adapter supplied by RADWIN. • Use the right tools! • Do not mount an ODU upside down or horizontally. Doing this may void you product warranty. Internal ESD Protection circuits RADWIN equipment is designed to meet the ETSI/FCC/Aus/NZ/CSA EMC and Safety requirements. To fulfill these requirements, the system's Telecom lines at the ODU/PoE are Transformer‐isolated and include internal ESD (Electro‐Static‐Discharge) Protection circuits. Before Field Installing ODUs Prior to installing ODUs in the field, you might like to consider pre‐loading them with their intended IP addresses. In a large dispersed network this would be done in the warehouse ahead of deployment. To do this, see Chapter 26 for details. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 4‐13...

Insulate both LPU connections. See the next section, Additional Consideration for Waterproofing below. Additional Consideration for Waterproofing Lightning Protectors and Ethernet Repeaters If these units are installed at locations heavily exposed to heavy dust, rain or corrosive moisture (for example, close to the sea), you should protect them further as in the following procedure. In the remainder of this section, “unit” refers to either a Lightning Protection Unit or a Repeater. To seal a unit against excessive dust and moisture: 1. Obtain a high quality sealing material such as Scotch 23 Tape ¾” wide, from 3M to ensure IP‐67 compliant protection against water and dust. 2. Cut two pieces each 25 cm long, of Scotch 23 splicing tape. Remove the plastic cover to expose the tacky side of the sealing tape as shown in Figure 4‐47. Figure 4‐47: Exposing the tack side of the sealing tape 3. After connecting the short CAT‐5 IDU/ODU cable (provided in the box) from the ODU to the unit, tighten the cable gland cap firmly and use the insulation tape scotch 23 to fully cover both of the cable glands. 4. Connect the tape with tacky side up on the cable gland cap and the CAT‐5 cable. Start at Start Point at the bottom of the cable gland as shown in Figure 4‐48. Finish at End Point of the CAT‐5 cable, 2.5cm after the end of the shrink tubing. Stretch the tape and apply half‐overlapped to form gap‐free joint. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 4‐32...

Mounting the Ethernet Repeater Mounting the Ethernet 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 looks physically like the lightning protection device in Figure 4‐17. It’s use is very simple as shown in the following schematic: Figure 4‐51: sing an Ethernet repeater with lightning protectors The Ethernet repeater cannot be used with GbE IDU‐ODU cables. Note Connecting an ODU to an IDU The ODU‐IDU cable conducts all the user traffic between the IDU and the ODU, and also provides power to the ODU. The maximum length of the ODU‐IDU cable is 100m (328ft) in accordance with 10/100BaseT standards. The ODU‐IDU cable is supplied pre‐assembled with RJ‐45 connectors, at the length specified when ordering, or as a cable drum with spare connectors. If the ODU‐IDU cable was not ordered, use an outdoor class, CAT 5e 24AWG shielded cable. See Appendix B for Wiring Specifications. To connect the ODU to the IDU, route the cable from the ODU to the IDU, secure the cable along its path and connect the cable to the ODU RJ‐45 connector on the IDU (see item B in Figure 4‐38 above). RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 4‐35...
Connecting User Equipment Connecting User Equipment To connect user equipment to an IDU: 1. Connect user switch/router or any other compatible device to one of the IDU panel RJ‐45 ports designated LAN. (For an IDU‐C, see item C in Figure 4‐38 above. For an IDU‐H see Figure 4‐9 above.) 2. Connect user E1/T1 traffic to the IDU panel RJ‐45 ports designated TRUNKS. (For an IDU‐C, see labeled item L in Figure 4‐38 above.) 3. IDU‐C and IDU‐H only: To use the SFP Port(s) (see Figure 4‐38 and Figure 4‐9 above), insert an SFP plug‐in module into the port and connect the user switch/router or any other compatible device to the SFP plug‐in module. Refer to Appendix B for connector pinouts. Do not connect two LAN ports to the same network, or flooding may occur. Note For TDM Users You may use SFP units configured for TDM with the IDU‐H. Be aware however, than the TDM performance will be limited to TDM over Ethernet. If you require native mode TDM performance, you should use an IDU‐E or an IDU‐C. Connecting and Aligning ODUs / Antennas You perform antenna alignment using the ODU's buzzer. To speed up the installation time, alignment of a RADWIN 2000 system should be performed by two teams simultaneously, at site A and at site B. To align ODUs with integrated antennas or external dual‐pole antennas: 1. For external dual‐pole antennas: Using a coax cable with N‐Type connectors, connect the vertical polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 1 connector of the ODU. 2. For external dual‐pole antennas: Using a coax cable with N‐Type connectors, connect the horizontal polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 2 connector of the ODU. 3. Ensure that power is connected to the IDUs at both sites. 4. Ensure normal operation of the IDUs by the LED indications on the front panel. Provided that site A detects the signal from site B, the ODU starts beeping 20 sec‐ onds after power up, and continues beeping until the ODUs are aligned, and the installation is complete. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 4‐36...
Connecting and Aligning ODUs / Antennas In the following steps, “antenna” refers both to an external antenna and an inte‐ grated antenna. 5. Direct the antenna of site B in the direction of site A. This is simplified if a previous site survey has been completed and azimuths are known. When aligning the antennas, do not stand in front of a live antenna. Warning 6. Make a horizontal sweep of 180 degrees with the site A antenna so that the strongest signal from site B can be detected. 7. Slowly turn the site A antenna back towards the position of site B, listening to the tone until the best signal is reached. See the following figure for audible signal variations. Figure 4‐52: Beep Sequence for antenna alignment • Three beeps and a pause is 'best signal so far' • Two beeps and a pause is 'signal quality increased' • One beep and 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 8.

Getting Started with the RADWIN Manager To install the RADWIN Manager application: 1. Insert the CD into the CD/DVD drive of your computer. The CD opening window appears: 2. Choose Install RADWIN Manager and follow the on‐screen instructions of the installation wizard to complete the setup of the RADWIN Manager application. If the installation program fails to start, browse to your CD/DVD drive, chose the setup.exe program and run it. Getting Started with the RADWIN Manager If your links are within easy reach, you can configure them using the procedure described below. If however, your links are to be geographically scattered, it may be convenient to pre‐ load each ODU with its network address prior to physical installation. The procedure is quite straight forward, and set out in Chapter 26. Each ODU requires a static IP address, since part of the link definition is the IP address pair of both ODUs. Network Managers should ensure that these addresses are outside of the automatic allocation ranges used by their Note network DHCP server. To start the RADWIN Manager: 1. Connect the managing computer to one of the two LAN ports as shown in Figure 5‐1 below: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 5‐2...

First steps First steps At this point the main window of the RADWIN Manager should be displayed: Figure 5‐10: Opening RADWIN Manager window prior to installation ‐ Using IDU‐C s The Dynamic Tx Ratio bar only appears for model RADWIN 2000 C Note A detailed field by field description of the contents of the RADWIN Manager main window may be found in Chapter 7. The procedure required to make the link functional has three phases: 1. Link Installation ‐ which we will detail below. Installation actually gets the link operational by setting the link parameters. It uses a fixed channel at the lowest possible modulation, BPSK at 6.5Mbps and will work under the harsh interference condition. During the installation procedure, the definition of link‐wide parameters is automatically applied to both sides of the link. Note 2. Link Configuration ‐ described in Chapter 8. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 5‐11...
• The ODUs as supplied by RADWIN are set up with a factory default band. If for some reason the default band needs to be changed, it should be done before link Installation. The procedure is set out in Chapter 23. Caution • Use of an incorrect band may be in violation of local regulations. Configuration provides much the same functionality as Installation, but for a running link. A fallback to Installation mode is provided for situations which cannot be handled without resetting the link, such as antenna realignment and IDU or ODU replacement. The Link Installation and Configuration phases are both carried out using Wizards, which “walk you through” the processes. The Wizards are visually quite similar and will be described in detail below. 3. Site Configuration ‐ described in Chapter 9. Site specific configuration for each side of the link is available at any time ‐ under a running link or under the restricted Installation mode. Site Configuration consists of a set of panels, which may be invoked individually in any order, as needed. An installed and configured link can be returned to installation mode for re‐ installation and configuration from last settings or from factory settings. • Reversion to installation mode requires a complete break in the link service Note • Configuration mode may vary the service throughput and quality, but without a service break Using RADWIN Manager Spectrum View Prior to running the Installation Wizard (Chapter 6), consider running the RADWIN Manager Spectrum View utility. The RADWIN Manager Spectrum View utility is an RF survey tool designed to support the link installation prior to full link service activation. The tool provides comprehensive and clear information enabling easier, faster and better quality installations. To launch Spectrum View, go to the main window menu (Figure 5‐11) and click Tools | Spectrum View. A display similar to the following appears: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 5‐12...

Step 3, Channel Settings RADWIN 2000 systems have a feature called Automatic Channel Selection (ACS). In the event of sync‐loss, ACS chooses the first available channel in a list of monitored channels nominated in the Channel settings window of Figure 6‐6 below. A channel switch takes place sufficiently fast as to ensure no loss of service. Figure 6‐6: Channel Settings ‐ Automatic Channel Selection The default frequency for the product is shown. Of the selected channels, you may choose a set of preferred channels which will be used by ACS with highest priority.

To this end, the Antenna Connection Type radio buttons are always enabled: Use the Integrated radio button to enable the embedded antenna. Note Observe that the SFF embedded antenna functions as a dual antenna and cannot be changed. 3. Repeat the process for the second site. 4. At the same time you can set the Antenna Gain and Cable Loss. 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 transmis‐ sion power of the ODU and is used to calculate the EIRP according to regulations. To see the relationship between Tx Power (radio) and Tx Power (system), note that milliWatt so that if you double the power in milliWatts (for two radios) then dBm will increase by Note If you choose to set the Antenna Gain and Cable Loss, you will receive the following warning message: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 6‐12...
Installation Figure 6‐13: Antenna parameters change warning • The Max EIRP level will be automatically set according to the selected band and regulation. • The EIRP level is the sum of the System Tx Power and the Antenna Gain Note minus the Cable Loss. If inequality (*) above is violated, then the following warning window is displayed: Figure 6‐14: Tx Power Limits The precise relationship between the items in inequality (*) and the window of Figure 6‐11 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. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 6‐13...
Installation • EIRP is maxAvailableTx Power + Antenna Gain ‐ Cable Loss The table in Figure 6‐14 only shows rates where the maximum Tx Power is the limita‐ tion, rather than regulations. When you close the window of Figure 6‐14, the change you requested will not be honored, and you will need to try again. Since our demonstration link is entirely indoors, we have reduced Tx Power to 5 dBm to obtain a realistic RSS. Although this is much too low for field use, the method is general. Note Figure 6‐15: Antennas configured for two dual and Tx power 5 dBm 5. Choose Dual Antenna mode if appropriate. The green Antenna Configuration diagram indicates the active state. For dual antennas in Diversity mode it looks like this: There are intermediate modes available for dual antennas opposite a single antenna as set out on Figure 6‐10 above. If you make a change you will see a warning similar to this: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 6‐14...

Installation Figure 6‐18: Services and Rates for RADWIN 2000 collocated as a client For a collocated link proceed to TDM Services selection. Otherwise, you can use the green slider to allocate asymmetric Ethernet capacity by changing the Transmission Ratio between the sites. For example: Suppose that during congestion, you might want to use 70% for the downlink and 30% for the uplink. Your choice would typically be based on your experienced traffic load during periods of congestion. For a collocated link you will see a display like this: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 6‐17...
Page 109
Installation If you choose a Transmission Ratio outside the two tick marks, you run the risk of disabling collocated links operating on a lower channel bandwidth: Whatever the case, if you change the Transmission Ratio on a collocated link, you will be offered the following warning: The conditions under this may occur are detailed below. If you have active collocated links, or if you are uncertain of whether collocated links provide TDM services do not use this option now. You can do it at a less disruptive time using the Link Configuration (Chapter 8). Caution Otherwise, click Yes to continue. Limitations on the use of Asymmetric Allocation For non collocated links, capacity allocation between uplink and downlink traffic is determined automatically according to actual Ethernet traffic and air interface conditions. Your manual allocation using this feature “cuts in” during congestion. Asymmetric Allocation and Collocation The use of Asymmetric Allocation is limited where the link is collocated. You may only change the HSM (master) from symmetric to asymmetries allocation. If you do this, the affects on collocated clients are as follows: • Releases prior to 2.4 ‐ Link down • Release 2.4 and later (RADWIN 2000 C series) ‐ TDM services stopped, link set to trans‐ mission ratio of master • Release 2.4 and later (RADWIN 2000 C series) ‐ Asymmetric Allocation slider visible but cannot be changed RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 6‐18...
Installation The last two items also apply to collocated links using HSSoE. The behavior of a collocated RADWIN 5000 base station, is very similar to that of a RADWIN 2000 C radio. There will be slight differences between the Transmission Ratio of a regular RADWIN 2000 radio and a RADWIN 5000 Note base station. Services and Rates The Services and Rates dialog as shown in Figure 6‐17 will be different: Figure 6‐19: Services and Rates ‐ RADWIN 2000 C master, RADWIN 2000 clients The areas outside the tick marks should be avoided. Using those areas, you may loose the collocated link with the longest distance between sites. Asymmetric Allocation and TDM You cannot use this feature when TDM services are used. Selection of TDM ports as in the next section will reset the Ethernet balance to 50% in each direction and the green slider will not appear in subsequent Installation or Configuration runs. Cancelling TDM port use will make the allocation bar reappear, re‐enabling asymmetric Ethernet traffic allocation. If you are not using TDM services, clicking Next will take you to Step 8, and completion of the installation. Your Ethernet capacity allocation will be reflected in Figure 6‐36 below.

Chapter 8: Configuring the Link Overview This chapter describes the link configuration procedure, which is performed after the installation of both sides of the RADWIN 2000 link, as set out in Chapter 6. Link configuration uses a Link Configuration wizard to redefine the configuration parameters and fine‐tune an operational link. Both sides of the link are configured simultaneously. Link configuration allows you to configure link parameters, which do not lead to sync‐loss or require a reset. Some may change service performance, in respect of which, warnings are displayed. For ease of use, the Link Configuration wizard follows the same pattern as Link Installation. You should therefore be familiar with the content of Chapter 6. The following parameters are configured using the Link Configuration Wizard: • System parameters • Channel settings • Transmission power and antenna settings • Service parameters The Configuration Wizard has seven steps as shown in Table 8‐1 below.

Configuring VLAN for Management At any time, click Apply to save accumulated Management changes. Configuring VLAN for Management VLAN IDs are used by RADWIN products in three separate contexts: Management VLAN, Traffic VLAN and Ethernet Ring. It is recommended that you use different VLAN IDs for each context. VLAN Management enables separation of user traffic from management traffic whenever such separation is required. It is recommended that both sides of the link be configured with different VLAN IDs for management traffic. (This reduces your chances of accidentally locking yourself out of the link.) To enable VLAN management: 1. Click Configuration from the main menu. 2. Choose a site to configure. If you are configuring both sites, choose site B first to avoid locking yourself out. 3. Choose Management. 4. Open the VLAN tab. Figure 9‐5: Configuring management traffic VLAN Settings 5. Check the Enabled box. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 9‐10...
Lost or forgotten VLAN ID 6. Enter a VLAN ID. Its value should be between 1 and 4094. After entering the VLAN ID, only packets with the specified VLAN ID are processed for management purposes by the ODU. This includes all the protocols supported by the ODU (ICMP, SNMP, TELNET and NTP). The VLAN priority is used for the traffic sent from the ODU to the managing computer. Using VLAN for management traffic affects all types of management connections (local, network and over the air). 7. Enter a Priority number between 0 and 7. 8. Change the VLAN ID and Priority of the managing computer NIC to be the same as those of steps 6 and 7 respectively. Changing this parameter causes the RADWIN Manager to immediately disconnect. To avoid inconvenience, you should verify the change by setting the VLAN only to one ODU, and only after verifying proper Caution management operation, change the other ODU VLAN setting. 9. Click Apply or OK. Lost or forgotten VLAN ID If the VLAN ID is forgotten or there is no VLAN traffic connected to the ODU, then reset the relevant ODU. 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 9‐6 Figure 9‐6: Supported Protocols SNMP support is permanently enabled. You may choose between SNMPv1, SNMPv3 or both. If you choose SNMPv3, you will be offered the following cautionary message: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 9‐11...
Displaying the Inventory For a link managed in a network, direct access to an ODU 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 9‐45. • For further details see Chapter 29. Telnet and Web Interface access modes when available, are site specific. If for example, site A is the operator site and site B the client site, you may wish to disable these protocols for site B but leave them enabled for site A. If either access mode poses a general security risk, you must disable them for each site separately. Note Displaying the Inventory To view the inventory data 1. Choose a site from the main menu.

Link Lock Security Feature Figure 9‐10: Alternative Community Dialog box Link Lock Security Feature Link Lock is a part of RADWIN’s security concept intended to meet a form of abuse encountered in the field. It is designed to prevent the situation where a remote ODU can be stolen and used as a “pirate” link to steal services or information. The Link Lock feature actually locks the local ODU to be synchronized ONLY to specific remote ODU. It is a site oriented feature. The lock can only be set from a live link. It is based on MAC authentication and is site oriented and activated on a per ODU basis. For example, if you lock the Site B ODU to the Site A ODU, you must still lock the Site A ODU to the Site B ODU to ensure complete two way locking. Link Lock can only be removed when the link is unsynchronized. In such a case, an alarm is raised by the RADWIN Manager. To enable Link Lock: 1. Click Site A on the main tool bar. 2. Choose the Security tab. The following window is displayed: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 9‐17...

Setting the Date and Time During power‐up the ODU attempts to configure the initial date and time using an NTP Server. If the server IP address is not configured or is not reachable, a default time is set. When configuring the NTP Server IP address, you should also configure the offset from the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). If there is no server available, you can either set the date and time, or you can set it to use the date and time from the managing computer. Note that manual setting is not recommended since it will be overridden by a reset, power up, or synchronization with an NTP Server. The NTP uses UDP port 123. If a firewall is configured between the ODU and the NTP Server this port must be opened. It can take up to 8 minutes for the NTP to synchronize the ODU date and 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 or later), for example: w32tm /stripchart /computer:216.218.192.202 You should get a continuous response of times, each a few seconds apart. 3.

300 sec Applications Rapid network topology changes where fast aging is 1 sec required Configuring Ethernet Ports Mode The ODU Ethernet port mode is configurable for line speed (10/100/1000BaseT) and duplex mode (half or full duplex). 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. 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: 1. From the Configuration menu, choose the site to configure. The Site Configuration dialog box opens. 2. Click Advanced | Ethernet. 3. In the Ethernet Ports Configuration pane, use the drop‐down menu to choose the required mode. 4. Click Apply to save the changes. It is possible to close the Ethernet service by disconnecting the Ethernet port. If you close the port, you may subsequently be unable to access the device. If this should occur, a workaround is as follows: • Connect to the system from the remote site Note • Connect via other Ethernet port (of the IDU) • Power down the equipment and connect immediately after power up (the fastest way is to enter install mode) The Mode and Radio Link Failure Action options vary somewhat with IDU or PoE type.

During this period, you should navigate to Site Configuration | Ethernet and then click the Disable VLAN button. Any VLAN settings for the site will be lost. Setting the Maximum Information Rate (MIR) What is the MIR The maximum Ethernet throughput of the link (MIR) can be limited. The default setting is Best Effort (see Figure 9‐14 above), where the highest information rate available for the link conditions and settings is used. What is it for The MIR setting limits the throughput for Ethernet service. It does not affect the capacity of TDM services. If the Link Budget Calculator or air conditions limit the capacity to X Mbps, and suppose that you use Y (< X) Mbps for TDM services, then you are left with X ‐ Y=Z Mbps for Ethernet. Suppose for example, that Z = 20 Mbps. As a Service Provider, you can decide to sell a package based on 10Mbps and charge $P1 for it, or 15 Mbps for $P2 > $P1. The MIR setting allows you do this. The default value is “best effort” (shown as “Unlimited”) which will give Z above. The minimum value is 256 Mbps. The maximum value will be the minimum between Z above and ‐ • 25/10 Mbps for RADWIN 2000 A (Model dependent) • 50 Mbps for RADWIN 2000 B • 20 Mbps for RADWIN 2000 X Note • 200 Mbps for RADWIN 2000 C The MIR setting is independent per direction.

Values of ‐5dB and ‐8dB from the current RSS are typical. TSL Threshold RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 10‐15...
BBER Threshold The Background Block Error Ratio is measured as a percentage. The threshold can be set from 0.1% up to 50%. For links with Ethernet only service, 8% threshold is recommended. If there are no problems during the interval, then for that threshold, the recommended BBER value should be 0. Since the system provides a lossless Ethernet service, there is throughput degradation in case of interference. The degradation is proportional to the BBER. Ethernet Thresholds ‐ Capacity This is used as a basis for checking adherence to a Service Level Agreement. It is the number of seconds count that the link capacity falls bellow the threshold. Ethernet Thresholds ‐ Traffic The number of seconds count that received traffic exceeded this threshold. It can be used to measure traffic peaks.

Chapter 11: 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 Chapter 3 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 11‐1 illustrates interference caused by non‐synchronized collocated units. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 11‐1...
RADWIN HSS Figure 11‐1: Interference caused by collocated units Adding HSS removes interference as shown in the next two figures: Figure 11‐2: Collocated units using Hub Site Synchronization (1) Figure 11‐3: Collocated units using Hub Site Synchronization (2) The units are connected to each other with HSS cables and HSS Distribution Units. One of the radios in the site is defined as HSS Master and generates synchronization pulses. The other collocated radios in the site ‐ the HSS Clients, are connected to the HSS Master and synchronize their transmission to the pulses. An HSS Client can be configured to work in one of two modes: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 11‐2...
Page 230
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 12. » 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 P0E ports will damage the unit and in any event, it will not work. Caution RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 11‐3...
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 11‐4: Figure 11‐4: 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 11‐2. 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: • Selection of the RFP influences the capacity, latency and TDM quality • RFP influences capacity and latency. Jitter buffer configuration can be used to set the TDM quality (see the User Manual, Chapter 6, TDM Services selection) • Using the Link Budget Calculator, you can see the affect of the RFP on the Ethernet throughput. RFP: RADWIN 2000 Considerations • The performance of RADWIN 2000 radios that operate with RFPs B or E can be seen in the Link Budget Calculator. • For RADWIN 2000 C series: If the HSS Master works in asymmetric Tx/Rx ratio, then all other collocated RADWIN 2000 units must operate in the same Tx/Rx ratio. In this case the ratio will be fixed and not automatic‐adaptive. • Installation/Configuration considerations: If you are using RADWIN 2000 C master and RADWIN 2000 clients, the Services and Rates dialog will look like this: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 11‐5...

Chapter 12: 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.

Connecting an HSS Unit Figure 12‐1: 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 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 12‐2...
Using a Single HSS Unit Using a Single HSS Unit Figure 12‐2: HSS Wiring schematic The wiring, as shown in Figure 12‐2 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 12‐3. 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 12‐3: 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 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 12‐3...

Chapter 13: 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 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. Caution RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 13‐1...
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. 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 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 RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 13‐2...

Chapter 14: Using the RADWIN GSU What is it for The GPS‐based synchronization unit (GSU) is designed to handle inter‐site interferences under large‐scale deployment scenarios. The GSU is an outdoor unit consisting of a small size enclosure, a GPS antenna and a PoE device. The GSU is connected to the HSS Unit using a standard HSS cable. It synchronizes the transmission timing of multiple Hub‐Sites to the same clock source thus eliminating mutual interference. GSU Functionality The GSU receives a synchronization signal from the GPS once per second. It distributes a RADWIN proprietary synchronization signal to all other ODU units using the RS422 protocol and the standard HSS mechanism, where the GSU acts as an HSM unit. When the GSU doesn’t receive a synchronization signal from the GPS for 30 seconds, it moves automatically to Self‐Generation mode and acts as a regular HSM unit, until the GPS recovers. Typical GSU Scenarios Independent Distributed Sites In the scenario of Figure 14‐1, we have multiple independent collocated sites, which may interfere with each other. To meet this situation, we coordinate all of them using the GSU as shown. The GSU functions like “wide area HSS unit”, ensuring that all participating radios at the locations marked GSU each transmit and receive at the same time. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 14‐1...

Multiple Distributed Sites with Communication Figure 14‐1: GSU Scenario ‐ Independent distributed sites Multiple Distributed Sites with Communication What happens if, in Figure 14‐1, the GSU towers themselves have radios communicating as shown in Figure 14‐2? Consider GSU 1 and GSU 2: Both collocated towers transmit and receive simultaneously. However, the radios communicating at GSU 1 and GSU 2 must transmit and receive in turn according to the scheme in marked “Normal Phase” in Figure 14‐3. This is an impossible situation, if all the links must send and receive together. It is further complicated by adding a third and further sites as shown. Figure 14‐2: GSU Scenario ‐ Communicating distributed sites RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 14‐2...
Cascaded Sites using Shifted Phase Transmission Cascaded Sites using Shifted Phase Transmission The solution offered here is not a “universal cure”. The following conditions are necessary, but in any specific case may not be sufficient: • The GSU sites (marked 1, and 3 above) are sufficiently far apart as to ensure that there is no mutual interference between communicating sites (1‐2 and 2‐3 above) • There should be no interference between non‐communicating sites (1 and 3 above). To see how it works, we use Figure 14‐2. The GSU towers are numbered and marked for cascading, 1‐2 and 2‐3. There should not be a link between 1 and 3. The GSU can synchronize the TDD timing of several sites enabling the cascading of consecutive links without mutual interference. To use cascading, the TDD timing of the even‐ordered links (GSU 2 above) must be “shifted” (Shifted Phase) and odd‐ordered links (GSU 1 and GSU 3 above) must be “unshifted” (Normal Phase). The phase shift is half of the Radio Frame Duration (RFD) from the chosen RFP. The scheme is shown in Figure 14‐3. Since the GSU is always HSS master (HSM), at each GSU location, the GSU can “force” the synchronization of its collocated radios. By half RFD shifting, alternate collocated sites can talk to each other. Figure 14‐3: Phase shifted transmission ‐ phase shift is 1/2 the RFD Choice of normal or shifted phase is configurable per GSU using the RADWIN Manager. GSU Redundancy The GSU is designed to support redundancy, improving the robustness of a GSU based topology. In redundancy mode, two GSUs are installed at the same HSS site. One of them self‐ configures to generate HSS sync signals. We will call it the Primary unit. The other one, the Secondary unit remains dormant merely polling the first GSU. If the Primary GSU fails, then the Secondary GSU becomes active immediately. If the Primary unit becomes active again, it remains dormant, reversing the original roles. The choice of the Primary GSU is random and of no significance. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 14‐3...
GSU Kit Contents If the Primary GSU fails, and then the Secondary GSU also fails to receive sync signals from its GPS, then it moves to self‐generation HSM mode like an ordinary HSM ODU until its GPS recovers.

This requirement, together with use of shifted transmis‐ sion phase (item 3 below), ensures that communicating distributed sites to not interfere with each other by transmitting simultaneously. Two GSU managed sites transmitting with shifted transmission phase and using the same RFP, transmit one half a RFD apart (see Figure 14‐3 above). 2. Setting the Tx Transmission Ratio Since the GSU is always HSM, it must be able to cater for hub site RADWIN 2000 C based links. (See the RADWIN 2000 User Manual, Chapter 5). If you use asymmetric allocation, shifted transmission phase becomes unavailable and you cannot “cascade” links as described in step 1. 3.

What RADWIN MHS provides RADWIN MHS provides redundancy and backup to TDM services. It is designed to provide high reliability high‐capacity Point‐to‐Point links. The RADWIN MHS is ‐ • Designed to provide redundancy and high reliability for carrier class operators • Optimized for high capacity links operating in license‐free bands • A comprehensive solution providing protection against both equipment failure and loss of air interface, by simple connectivity between a primary link and a secondary link The main service redundancy features of the RADWIN MHS are – • TDM service cut‐over from the primary to the secondary link is completely automatic • TDM service cut‐over time no more than 50 ms • Automatic restore to primary link as soon as it becomes available • Support for up to sixteen TDM channels for RADWIN 2000 MHS is supported between two RADWIN 2000 links using IDU‐Cs. In what follows, ODU refers to a RADWIN 2000 radio and IDU refers to an IDU‐C. What RADWIN MHS provides Equipment Protection Equipment protection is provided for the electrically‐active network elements, ODU and IDU. The primary IDU and the secondary IDU are connected by a cable to monitor failure and to control protection switching. Switching time is less than 50ms. Air‐Interface Protection Air‐Interface protection is unique to RADWIN and is optimized for wireless links operating in license‐free bands. The primary link and the secondary link use different frequency channels. If the air‐interface of the primary link is disturbed and cannot carry the required TDM service, then the system automatically switches to the secondary link. In addition, improved robustness and frequency planning flexibility is achieved, as the primary and secondary air interfaces can operate in the same frequency band or in different frequency bands. Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) can be configured for each link to add additional robustness. The primary and secondary links are synchronized using Hub Site Synchronization (HSS). It is recommended that both sites be installed with HSS cables. If HSS fails at one site, it can be operated from the other site by remote configuration.
Purpose of this Chapter Purpose of this Chapter This chapter is an installation and maintenance guide for RADWIN MHS. It applies to all RADWIN radio products able to support the Monitored Hot Standby operational mode. Who Should Read this This chapter is intended for persons responsible for the installation and maintenance of RADWIN MHS. To use it you need to know how to ‐ • Install a RADWIN 2000 radio link • Use the RADWIN Manager software RADWIN MHS Kit Contents • One Y‐Connection Patch Panel • One MHS cable Figure 15‐2: RADWIN Y‐Connection Patch Panel Installing a RADWIN MHS The following procedure is substantially generic to all RADWIN radio products. What you see on your running RADWIN Manager may differ in some details from the screen captures used to illustrate this chapter. Note Figure 15‐1 above is a schematic of a RADWIN MHS. Figure 15‐3 shows how to connect the IDUs to the Patch Panel. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 15‐3...
Installing a RADWIN MHS Figure 15‐3: How to connect the IDUs to the Patch Panel • With RADWIN 2000 links you can protect up to 16 TDM ports. To pro‐ tect more than eight TDM ports use two Patch Panels at each site. • Ethernet services are carried independently by primary and secondary links. Each link carries different Ethernet traffic. MHS does not protect Note Ethernet traffic. In what follows, it will be assumed that – 1. We will depart from our usual Site A / Site B conventions. Sites A and B on the primary link will be Sites 1.2 and 1.4 respectively. The corresponding sites on the secondary link will be Sites 2.2 and 2.4. The site names reflect their IP addresses. This is a useful convention and is reflected in the screen captures below. 2. The link will be managed from Site 1.2; Site 1.4 may be a remote site. 3. The links intended as the primary and secondary will be referred to their respective names, Primary Link and Secondary Link as shown in Figure 15‐1 above, despite their hav‐ ing yet to be installed. To install a Hot Standby Link: 1. Set up Primary Link in the usual way. Ensure that it is fully operational in accordance with the relevant instructions in Part 1 of the . Do not proceed unless this condition is fully met! Note 2. Connect user equipment to Site 1.4. 3. At Site 1.2, disconnect the TDM cables from the external equipment or disconnect external equipment from the Hot Standby Patch Panel. 4. The HSS cable (connecting the ODUs) should be connected at Site 1.2. The ODU belonging to the primary link should be configured as HSM, whereas the ODU belonging to the secondary link should be configured as HSC‐CT. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 15‐4...
Installing a RADWIN MHS 5. Establish Secondary Link in the usual way, with HSS enabled. The two link frequencies should be at least 5MHz apart. 6. Connect the MHS cables at Sites A and B as shown in Figure 15‐1 and Figure 15‐3 above. 7. Run the Configuration Wizard for Primary Link. Activate TDM services in the usual way. Navigate to the Hot Standby tab, in the Services Configuration panel: Figure 15‐4: Services Configuration Panel: Hot Standby mode selection Check the Primary button to configure Primary Link as the primary link. 8. Complete the Wizard, and then move to Secondary Link. 9. Repeat step 7 for Secondary Link. For the Services Hot Standby tab, this time, check the Secondary button. 10. Complete the Wizard. 11. At Site 1.2, reconnect the Hot Standby Patch panel to the external equipment. From this point on, we will simply refer to primary and secondary link (no capitalized names). At the end of the process, the RADWIN Manager main windows should look like this: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 15‐5...
Installing a RADWIN MHS Figure 15‐6: The secondary link under normal operation To see what happens following a cut‐over from the primary link to the secondary link, you need to have running two copies of the RADWIN Manager – one logged into the primary link, and one logged into the secondary link. Here then, is the situation after a cut‐over to the secondary link: For the primary link, the following window will appear for a few seconds: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 15‐7...

Maintaining a RADWIN MHS Link Figure 15‐8: Secondary Link operating as the Hot Standby link Notice that the active link notice is highlighted in red, so that there is no mistaking which link is operational. Maintaining a RADWIN MHS Link IDU Replacement There are two situations, which must be treated differently. Situation 1: To replace either of the IDUs at Site 1.4 or the IDU at Site 2.2, nothing special is required. Simply disconnect the IDU to be replaced – and replace it with a new one. Replacing a secondary link IDU obviously has no effect on the TDM service. Disconnecting the Site 1.4 primary IDU activates Hot Standby. After the Site 1.4 primary IDU is replaced, the Link will detect the change and switch back to the primary link. If you replaced the Site 2.2 IDU, remember to reconnect the MHS cable. Situation 2: Replacing the Site 1.2 IDU is different, and requires several steps. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 15‐9...
Page 282
3. Replace the Site 1.2 IDU without connecting it to the ODU (to prevent transmission by the primary link with the undefined IDU). 4. Reconnect the MHS cable between the IDUs at Site 1.2. 5. Again, run the Configuration Wizard on the secondary link, and in the panel of Figure 15‐4 above, check the Secondary button to re‐enable the link as secondary. 6. Connect the new Site 1.2 IDU to its ODU. The Hot Standby will automatically revert to the primary link within 50ms. ODU Replacement Both the primary and secondary replacement ODUs require pre‐configuration prior to insertion into the link. The items to be preconfigured are • HSS mode • Link ID • Frequency • Hot Standby mode – using the new Services panel in Figure 15‐4 above • IP address (optional) Pre‐configuration must be carried out before the new ODU is connected to its IDU. If you try to do it “live” against its IDU, it will cause spurious transmissions and a service break. Note To preconfigure an ODU: 1. Attach the new ODU to an IDU or a PoE device. 2. Run the RADWIN Manager and use Hot Standby tab of Figure 15‐4 above to configure the new ODU to Primary or Secondary mode as required. 3. Ensure that it is set to the proper HSS mode in accordance with Figure 15‐4 above. Enter the required Link ID and frequency. To replace an ODU for primary or secondary link, at either site: • Install the preconfigured ODU. (Since the other link is working normally, nothing need be done with it. If the secondary ODU was replaced, TDM service remains as is on the primary link. If the primary ODU was replaced, then the TDM service will shift back to the primary link.)

Switching Logic Switching Logic Switching from Primary Link to Secondary Link Switching from primary link to secondary link will occur following: • Loss of the primary air interface due to sync‐loss • Loss of the primary air interface due to failure of the receiver to acquire expected E1/T1 data during a period of 24ms • The Primary equipment (either ODU or IDU, local or remote) is powered off Following the switch from the primary to the secondary link, the primary and secondary link Manager main windows should look like this: Figure 15‐9: Primary link after the switch over to secondary link After a few seconds the display moves to No‐Link display, with TDM ports grayed out.

Chapter 16: The RADWIN Ethernet Ring Scope The description of RADWIN Ethernet Ring in this Chapter is completely generic: Both WinLink 1000 and RADWIN 2000 links may participate in an Ethernet ring. 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 What is an Ethernet Ring An Ethernet ring consists of several nodes connected by hops (links). Loops are not allowed with Ethernet; therefore one hop is a Ring Protection Link (RPL) which “blocks” Ethernet traffic. In the event of failure in the ring, the Ring Protection Link unblocks and Ethernet traffic in the ring is restored. Some terminology: • Normal State – all member links are functional except the RPL which is blocked. • Blocked ‐ the air‐link is up but Ethernet traffic is not transmitted across the link. The Ethernet service panel for the RPL in the RADWIN Manager is labeled Idle • Unblocked ‐ Ethernet traffic is transmitted across the RPL. The Ethernet service panel for the RPL in the RADWIN Manager is labeled Active • Protection State – a member link is broken and the RPL passes Ethernet traffic • Ring Protection Link ‐ as described above • Ring Link ‐ any member link controlled by the RPL • Independent Link ‐ not subject to ring protection RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 16‐1...
RADWIN Ethernet Ring • Ring Protection Message (RPM) ‐ control message used to monitor and control the ring. RPM messages are broadcast, so it is essential (to prevent flooding) to associate the RPL and member Ring LInks with a VLAN ID. This requires in turn, that equipment used in the ring either supports VLAN or can Note transparently pass through VLAN tagged packets. RADWIN Ethernet Ring The following figure describes the RPL behavior during a ring failure and recovery cycle. Figure 16‐1: Ring Protection mechanism RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 16‐2...
Page 289
2. Ring Link down, RPL notified The RPL detects a link‐down condition by the non‐arrival of an RPM packet. It remains blocked for the Minimum time for failure detection which is configurable using the RAD‐ WIN Manager (see page 16‐11). 3. Ring Link down, RPL unblocked for traffic The RPL unblocks for Ethernet traffic after the Minimum time for failure detection expires and no RPM message has been received. 4. Ring Link restored but still blocked for traffic The Ring Link is restored, but remains blocked for the Minimum time for recovery, set using the RADWIN Manager, to avoid rapid fluctuations leading to potential short term loops (see page 16‐11). 5. Ring Link restored, RPL blocked for traffic The RPL blocks to Ethernet traffic after the Minimum time for recovery expires and restores Ethernet traffic to the Ring Link (with a special RPM packet). 6. Return to 1.) Ring Link restored, RPL blocked for traffic The ring is back to normal operation. With RADWIN links, RADWIN’s Ring Protection solution prevents Ethernet loops in the ring at all times. The ring is always broken somewhere. • Under a ring configuration a RADWIN Ring Link that was down and commences recov‐ ery, keeps blocking Ethernet traffic. The RPL identifies this situation, blocks itself and then unblocks the other Ring Link. This is the transition from step 4 to 5 in Figure 16‐1. • If the failed hop is not a RADWIN link then there are two possibilities: • If the hop Ring Link can signal that it is down by issuing a Loss of Signal (LOS) at the Ethernet port, then the RPL will control the RADWIN link connected to that port in the same manner as described above, to prevent an Ethernet loop. • Otherwise, there may be a short loop period when the RPL is still open for traffic and the Ring Link is also unblocked during the Minimum time for recovery.

Ethernet Ring Topologies Supported by RADWIN Ethernet Ring Topologies Supported by RADWIN The following ring topologies are supported: Table 16‐1: Topologies supported by RADWIN Ethernet Ring The ring is not connected to other rings Stand‐alone ring One of the nodes is connected to another network / ring: Single‐homed ring RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 16‐4...

Hence it is recommended to prevent these packets from propagating into the network Some of the hops are connected through non‐RADWIN links: Mixed ring Some of the hops are connected through RADWIN links with PoE devices, not supporting ring functionality: Repeater sites RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 16‐5...
Protection Switching Table 16‐1: Topologies supported by RADWIN Ethernet Ring (Continued) RADWIN rings with shared hops. Shared ring Note: • A RADWIN link hop can be a part of up to 4 rings • The RPL cannot be a shared link • The two RPLs should use different Minimum Time for Activation values to prevent duplicate action causing a loop Protection Switching Protection switching occurs upon failure in the ring. The Ethernet service restoration time depends on the number of hops in the ring. With four hops the Ethernet service is restored in less than 50 ms. In single and dual homed topologies the service restoration may take longer due to the aging time of the external switches. Switches that are immediately aware of routing changes reduce the restoration time. Hardware Considerations Ethernet Ring Protection is supported by the IDU‐C, IDU‐E and PoE. A typical Ring Protection Link consists of an IDU‐C or IDU‐E, a PoE and two ODUs as shown in Figure 16‐2. Hence one end of the RPL and of ring controlled links, as shown in Figure 16‐2 has to be an IDU. It is recommended to have an IDU at each node to have the flexibility to change the RPL. A ring node is built from two ODUs from adjacent links. The ODUs can be connected to either an IDU or to a PoE device as in Figure 16‐2. Port names in the IDU are shown.

Special Case: 1 + 1 Ethernet Redundancy Figure 16‐2: Node with IDU and PoE device Connect the switch at the site only to one IDU. Note The switching function is carried out by the IDU‐Cs and IDU‐Es, both of which provide Layer 2 support (see Chapter 17). Special Case: 1 + 1 Ethernet Redundancy The same device may be used to provide economic 1 +1 redundancy for a single link. A 1+1 Ethernet is a ring with two nodes. One of the links is RPL. The equipment in a 1+1 Ethernet installation is as follows: Figure 16‐3: 1+1 Ethernet RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 16‐7...
Using RADWIN Manager to Set up a Ring Figure 16‐4: Using IDU‐C or IDU‐E with PoEs for the RPL Notice that link content drops from four PoEs plus two switches to two PoEs and two IDU‐Cs or IDU‐Es. Using RADWIN Manager to Set up a Ring Creating a Ring using RADWIN Manager requires two stages: 7. Set up each participating link separately, in the usual way 8. For each link, run the Configuration wizard to define it as RPL or a Ring Link • The Ring uses a VLAN ID for the RPL. It is used to manage the Ring and nothing else; it is completely separate from the management and traf‐ fic VLANs referred to elsewhere • A regular Ring Link may be a member of up to four rings and each of Note their RPL VLAN IDs must be configured Here then, is step 2 in more detail: To integrate a link into an Ethernet Ring: 1. Using either the Installation or Configuration wizards, navigate to the Services win‐ dow and chose the Ring tab.

Using RADWIN Manager to Set up a Ring 2. Click Configure. The Ring definition window is displayed. The default is Independent Link and is used when the link is not part of any Ring. Figure 16‐6: Ring Options 3. To configure the link as a regular Rink link, click Rink Link (Non‐ RPL) and enter the ring LAN VIDs (at least one) to which it belongs and click OK: Figure 16‐7: Configuring Ring LAN VIDs 4. To configure the link as RPL, click Ring Protection Link (RPL) and enter its Ring VID. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 16‐9...
Using RADWIN Manager to Set up a Ring Figure 16‐8: Configuring RPL VIDs 5. Enter the minimum times for failure detection and recovery. For dual‐homed configurations, where part of the ring goes through the core, if a core segment fails, the core should be allowed to recover before the RPL enters Pro‐ tection State. Otherwise, it could happen that both the core and the RADWIN ring will switch in parallel. You should therefore, configure a Minimum time for failure detection high enough to take this possibility into account. The Minimum time for recovery is a delay switch to prevent rapid “on‐off” fluctua‐ tions. It functions like a delay switch use to protect electrical devices from rapid “on‐ off” power fluctuations, which in this context, may lead to potential short term loops. 6. Click OK to accept your settings. The RPL will be clearly indicated in the RADWIN Manager. In the Link status area on the top left, you will see an Ethernet (Blocked) notice: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 16‐10...

Chapter 17: VLAN Functionality with RADWIN 2000 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. VLAN Tagging VLAN tagging enables multiple bridged networks to transparently share the same physical network link without leakage of information between networks: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 17‐1...
QinQ (Double Tagging) for Service Providers Figure 17‐1: Two network using the same link with tagging 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. Figure 17‐2: 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 RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 17‐2...
Page 301
VLAN Untagging • 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 VLAN Untagging VLAN Untagging means the removal of a VLAN or a Provider tag. Port Functionality The VLAN functionality is supported by all LAN and SFP ports in the IDU. Each port can be configured how to handle Ethernet frames at the ingress direction (where frames enter the IDU) and at the egress direction (where frame exit the IDU). The configuration is independent at each port. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 17‐3...

All frames are tagged QinQ with a VLAN ID, which is configured by the service provider (Provider VLAN ID). Provider With this setting, ingress frames which are not tagged with the configured Provider tagging VLAN ID are blocked (filtered). Note: Each port can be configured independently to a tagging mode. However, only a single Provider VLAN ID can be defined per IDU. This setting functions like Provider tagging. However, all ingress frames are passed through. Provider tagging without filter VLAN Availability VLAN is available for links using either WinLink 1000 or RADWIN 2000 radios. VLAN support requires the use of IDU‐Cs or IDU‐Es for WinLink 1000. For RADWIN 2000 you may also use a PoE device and configure ODU VLAN. See Chapter 9. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 17‐6...
VLAN Configuration Using the RADWIN Manager VLAN Configuration Using the RADWIN Manager 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. 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 2000 links and are provided “as is”. Under no circumstances does Disclaimer 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: • 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 All IDU‐C and IDU‐E models have two LAN ports so you can easily separate management and Ethernet service. VLAN Tagging for Ethernet Service: Configuration VLAN Configuration is carried out per site. It is up to you to ensure consistency between the link sites.

Chapter 18: Software 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. The following procedure is generic to all RADWIN point to point radio and GSU products. Note Upgrading an Installed Link To upgrade software for a link: 1.

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 for Site A only and 5.4/ 5.8GHz ETSI, bote sides of the link. 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 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 19‐1...
FCC/IC 5.4/5.3 GHz Links: Background Chapter 19 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) FCC/IC 5.4/5.3 GHz Links: Background The FCC/IC regulation for 5.4/5.3 GHz allows unlicensed wireless data equipment, provided that it does not interrupt radar services. If radar activity is detected, the equipment must automatically change frequency channel. This feature is termed Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS). According to the standard, a channel with active radar is prohibited from use for 30 minutes. Before using a channel for transmission, the radio equipment must probe it for radar signals for a period of 60 seconds. The FCC/IC regulations for 5.4 GHz band requires the frequency range 5600 – 5650 MHz to be banned from use. The FCC regulation for 5.4 GHz band requires that within 35 km radius from any (Terminal Doppler Weather Radars) TDWR location the frequency range 5570 – 5680 MHz shall be Note banned from use. Follow the instructions in the last section of this chapter. RADWIN radio products support DFS as well as ACS. An immediate consequence of the FCC/IC regulation for 5.4/5.3 GHz is that the method of link installation is slightly different. First, ACS cannot be disabled: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 19‐2...

Chapter 21: Quality of Service Availability The Quality of Service (QoS) feature is available for links using RADWIN 2000 C radios. If you already have this model, you can access the feature by carrying out a Software Upgrade to the 2.8.30 release. 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 2000 C links 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 REDAT Quality queue Diffserv VLAN 48‐63 6‐7 Real time Near real time 32‐47 4‐5 (responsive applications) 16‐31 2‐3 Controlled load 0‐15 0‐1 Best effort For REDAT (Remaining Ethernet Data ‐ Ethernet throughput) measurement. See page 10‐9. REDAT measures remaining Ethernet throughput after reduction of bandwidth used by TDM channels. Use the Link Budget Note Calculator to see how much remaining bandwidth is available for Ethernet. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 21‐1...
Setting up QoS 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. Further, you may also limit the maximum information rate (MIR) for each queue per site. Setting up QoS You may set up QoS from either the Installation or Configuration wizards. Before doing so, set up for VLAN (Chapter 17) or Diffserv, depending on which you intend to use. To define QoS settings for a link: 1. Using either the Installation or Configuration wizards, navigate to the Services win‐ dow and choose the QoS tab. Figure 21‐1: Services window with QoS selected Although QoS is a link‐oriented feature, each site may have its own separate parame‐ ters. 2. Click the Configure button for a site.

Upon clicking OK, • If you over‐book the Weight column, the last entered field will be reduced so that the total is 100%. • No weight field may be left zero. If you do, you will not be able to proceed until it is set to something: This reflects the implementation policy under which no checked queue may be completely starved. If you really do not want to use a queue under congestion, uncheck it. • If you are under‐booked, you will receive this notice: • In any event, you may automatically apply the same settings to both link sites: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 21‐4...

Chapter 22: Capacity Upgrade What is Capacity Upgrade A RADWIN 2000 A series ODU may have its capacity increased by application of an upgrade license key. The Capacity Upgrade process consists of three steps: • Data Gathering ‐ preparation of a list of RADWIN 2000 A ODUs for upgrade by serial number • Acquisition ‐ purchasing the Capacity Upgrade keys • Application ‐ activating the Capacity Upgrade using the RADWIN Manager Applicability You may only upgrade a RADWIN 2000 A unit from 10 Mbps to 25 Mbps. Data Gathering For each relevant link, prepare a table similar to Table 22‐1: Table 22‐1: RADWIN 2000 A ODU Capacity Upgrade Link List ODU Name ODU MAC Address ODU Serial Number Capacity Upgrade Key Site A 00xxyy41b205 PFC580E500000123 Site B 00xxyy41b20e PFC580E500000124 Columns 1 is for your own convenience. Column 2 provides a precise connection between ODU identification and its serial number. Later you will copy/paste the Capacity Upgrade key into column 4 as a permanent convenient record. To get the required link information: 1. Log on to the link. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 22‐1...
Product <Some product ID String> HW Version 6 SW Version 2.8.00_b2970_Jan 17 2013 MAC Address <Your MAC address> Serial Number PFC580E500000123 5. Copy the MAC Address to column 2 of the table (most likely for Site A). 6. Copy the string following the Serial Number to column 3 of the table. 7. Repeat the process to get the ODU serial number for Site B. 8. If you have several links, aggregate the Link Lists into one list (consider using a spreadsheet for the purpose). Acquisition Send the supplier of your equipment a Purchase Order for your Capacity Upgrade List (Use the aggregated version 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 Carrying out the Capacity Upgrade Each ODU must be upgraded individually. The process is very unforgiving of errors, so you should carefully carry out the following steps. It is assumed that you have Table 22‐1 in a sortable format such as a spread sheet. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 22‐2...
Page 333
Carrying out the Capacity Upgrade To prepare for application of the Capacity Upgrade keys: 1. Sort Table 22‐1 by serial number. 2. Make a working copy of the Capacity Upgrade keys attachment file. Keep the original in a safe place. 3. Load the working copy into a spread sheet program and ensure that it is sorted by serial number. 4. Ensure that your table and the sorted list match line for line ‐ if not check carefully for errors of missed units. 5. Copy/paste the key column into column 4 of your own table. 6. For each link, log on as Installer. (For isolated “spare” ODUs, you may log on using Local Connection.) 7. Open each Site in turn. 8. Open the Inventory page to check which line item in your table matches it. 9. Copy the Capacity Upgrade key to the clipboard 10. Open the the Operations page: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 22‐3...
Page 334
Completing the Capacity Upgrade 11. Paste the key to the License Key field. The Activate button is enabled. 12. Click the Activate button. 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. Completing the Capacity Upgrade To make the upgrade effective, each upgraded ODU must be reset. Persistency of the Capacity Upgrade The upgrade is persistent across an ODU reset. If however, you restore a capacity upgraded ODU 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 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 22‐4...
Chapter 23: Changing the Factory Default Band Why this is Needed All ODUs supplied by RADWIN come with preconfigured with a factory default product‐ dependent band according to the ODU part number. For ODUs supporting Multi‐band, it may be changed using the procedure in this chapter. The procedure is generic, applying to all ODUs with the Multi‐band feature. • If for some reason the default band needs to be changed, it should be done before link installation. • Use of an incorrect band may be in violation of local regulations. Caution Required Equipment The minimal equipment required to change an ODU default band is: • Laptop computer (managing computer) satisfying the requirements of Table 5‐1. • An installed copy of the RADWIN Manager • A PoE device • An Ethernet LAN cable • An IDU‐ODU cable The procedure The following procedure is generic to all relevant RADWIN radio products. What you see on your running RADWIN Manager may differ in some details from the screen captures used to illustrate this chapter. Note RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 23‐1...
The procedure To change the factory default band: 1. Using the IDU‐ODU cable, connect the PoE device to the ODU, ensuring that the cable is plugged into the PoE port marked P‐LAN‐OUT. 2. Connect the Poe device to AC power. 3. Using a LAN cable, connect the LAN‐IN port of the PoE device to the Ethernet port of the managing computer. The ODU will commence beeping at about once per second, indicating correct operation. 4. Launch the RADWIN Manager. 5. Log on as Installer. Figure 23‐1: Becoming Installer 6.

Provisions for Licensed 3.X and 2.5 GHz Bands Provisions for Licensed 3.X and 2.5 GHz Bands Overview 3.X Bands The new RADWIN 2000 C and RADWIN 2000 X series add additional bands in the 3.X GHz range to those in Release 2.5.00. The new supported bands fall into two categories: The first category consists of those falling under the ubiquitous FCC, IC or ETSI regulation. The second category is referred to as RADWIN Universal bands. These bands are known to be regulated but the numerous combinations of regulation and location preclude specific support. Release 2.8.30 supports the band 3.3‐3.8 GHz as follows: • FCC part 90 subpart Z and IC RSS‐197 supporting 3.650‐3.700 GHz • 3.650 ‐3.675 GHz in Restricted mode • Hardware ready for the Unrestricted Mode band operating in all 50 MHz of the 3.650‐3.700 GHz band • IC RSS‐192 supporting 3.475 – 3.650 GHz • ETSI 3.4 ‐3.7 GHz split into three sub‐bands, 3.650‐3.675 GHz, 3.475‐3.650 GHz and 3.590‐3.710 GHz • RADWIN Universal 3.300‐3.800 GHz. Integrated and connectorized products are available. All of them are multiple band with the default band being 3.650‐3.675 GHz other than the ETSI 3.4 ‐ 3.7 GHz models. The new products may be operated under 5, 10 and 20 MHz channel bandwidths and are broadly compatible with the full feature set of RADWIN 2000. To meet regulatory requirements, a somewhat different procedure is required to set up links using these bands. 2.5GHz Bands for BRS/EBS The rationale for these bands and relevant details are described in Chapter 25. The installation method ids the same as for other licenced FCC bands as described below. Terminology Recap • Universal bands refer to RADWIN Universal bands as described above • 3.X or 3.X GHz refers to the frequency range 3.300 – 3.800GHz • A 3.X ODU is an ODU pre configured to operate in the 3.X GHz licensed bands •...

Chapter 25: BRS/EBS Considerations What is BRS/EBS The Broadband Radio Service (BRS), formerly known as the Multipoint Distribution Service (MDS)/Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS), is a US FCC regulated commercial service. The relevant FCC rule is 47CFR part 27 subpart M. In the past, it was generally used for the transmission of data and video programming to subscribers using high‐powered wireless cable systems. However, over the years, it has evolved to include digital two‐way systems capable of providing high‐speed, high‐capacity broadband service, including two‐way Internet service via cellularized communication systems. Such services provide consumers integrated access to voice, high‐speed data, video‐ on‐demand, and interactive delivery services from a wireless device. For further details see: http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=service_home&id=ebs_brs This link (part of the FCC site) contains the Technical Rules covering matters such as: • Operational scope • Geographic service area • Antenna registration BRS/EBS Bands The BRS/EBS band (post‐transition) is illustrated in Figure 25‐1 below and in more detail in the three tables following. Observe that the BRS/EBS spectrum is divided into small channels, mainly of 5.5 and 6 MHz. There are two small ranges of 0.333 MHz channels as well. BRS/EBS user may lease blocks of up to four contiguous channels to achieve their required channel bandwidth. These are often referred to as single, double, triple or quad bands.

Chapter 26: Pre‐loading an ODU with an IP Address Why this is Needed All ODUs supplied by RADWIN come preconfigured with an IP address of 10.0.0.120. For use in a network, the ODUs must be configured with suitable static IP addresses. The method for doing this under office conditions is set out in Chapter 6. There are two situations under which ODUs may need to be pre‐loaded with an IP address prior to installation to a link: • Changing an individual ODU in the field • Preparing a large number of ODUs in a warehouse prior to deployment in the field, according to a network installation plan. This chapter explains how do this. Required Equipment The minimal equipment required to pre‐load an ODU with an IP address is: • Laptop computer (managing computer) satisfying the requirements of Table 5‐1 • An installed copy of the RADWIN Manager • A PoE device • An Ethernet LAN cable • An IDU‐ODU cable • If you have connectorized ODUs, two N‐type RF terminators Do not carry out this procedure using a multi homed managing computer also connected to a network. It will flood the network with broadcast packets. Further, it will throw any other links on the network into Caution Installation mode. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 26‐1...
The procedure The procedure The following procedure is generic to all RADWIN radio products. What you see on your running RADWIN Manager may differ in some details from the screen captures used to illustrate this chapter. Note To Preolad an ODU with an IP address: 1. Using the IDU‐ODU cable, connect the PoE device to the ODU, ensuring that the cable is plugged into the PoE port marked P‐LAN‐OUT. 2. For connectorized ODUs, screw the RF terminators into the two antenna ports. A powered up ODU emits RF radiation from the antenna port (or connected antenna). When working with a powered up connectorized ODU, always use RF terminators. For an ODU with an integrated antenna, ensure that the antenna is always Warning directed away from other people. 3. Connect the Poe device to AC power. 4. Using a LAN cable, connect the LAN‐IN port of the PoE device to the Ethernet port of the managing computer. The ODU will commence beeping at about once per second, indicating correct operation. 5. Launch the RADWIN Manager. 6. At the log on window, choose Local Connection.

Chapter 27: Link Budget Calculator Overview The Link Budget Calculator is a utility for calculating the expected performance of the RADWIN 2000 wireless link and the possible configurations for a specific link range. The utility allows you to calculate the expected RSS of the link, and find the type of services and their effective throughput as a function of the link range and deployment conditions. User Input You are required to enter or choose the following parameters. Depending on the product, some of the parameters have a default value that cannot be changed. • Band, which determines frequency and regulation • Channel Bandwidth • Tx Power (maximum Tx power per modulation is validated) • Antenna Type (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) • Required Fade Margin • Rate (and Adaptive check box) • Service Type • Required Range 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 and for TDM services at vari‐ ous BER RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30...

It is always widest in the middle of the path between the two antennas. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 27‐3...
About the Fresnel Zone Figure 27‐1: 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 27‐1 above. The top of the obstruction does not extend far into the Fresnel zone, leaving 60% of the Fresnel zone clear; therefore, the signal is not significantly attenuated. For more about Fresnel zone, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_zone. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 27‐4...

The system operates in TDD mode and has the overhead of the air‐interface protoco.l Thus, the Ethernet actual throughput is provided by the Ethernet Rate. For a given air‐rate, Ethernet throughput will decrease with increasing range due to propagation delay. Note The Fade margin is the minimum required for line‐o‐ sight (LOS) conditions. For degraded link conditions, a larger Fade margin should be used. The EIRP is given in dBm and Watts. 6. If the required range between the two link sites is known, you may enter it directly.

Chapter 29: Using the Web Interface What is it For The Web Interface (WI) enables you to carry out basic link management functions using a Web browser. It is an easy way to rapidly configure and setup a link. It may be used to ‐ • Establish a link on a minimal basis for Ethernet only • Check link parameters and make basic changes • View the link Inventory • Inspect the Recent Events logs Who Needs it The WI is a tool for technicians to “quick‐install” a link with minimum effort. The technician may use the WI to install a link for Ethernet service. It may also be employed by a user for a quick look at current operating parameters and the Recent Events logs. If the link was previously installed using the RADWIN Manager, then the WI monitor window will also show TDM services. How it Works Suppose that you have Site A (managing computer) on IP address 10.104.2.2 and Sit B (over‐ the‐air) on IP address 10.104.2.4, you would simply point your browser to either of these addresses and log on as shown below. As far as the WI is concerned, the site to which you log on becomes the managed site and the other site is “seen” as the over‐the‐air site regardless of the site to which you are physically connected. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 29‐1...
What it Provides What it Provides The WI provides an Installation/Configuration wizard as well as site configuration dialogs. Prerequisites Hardware You need a regular LAN connection between a managing computer and one of the link ODUs. The WI is available for RADWIN 2000 C and RADWIN 2000 B ODUs at release level 2.6.00 or later. Software Your computer should have at least version 6 of MS Internet Explorer. The Web interface also works with other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox version 3 and later. Technical Background You should be familiar with the concepts underlying the RADWIN Manager and preferably with the Manager itself. Special Considerations Working with the WI Advanced Configurations For setup configurations using features such as HSS, TDM service, VLAN and QoS, you will need to use the RADWIN Manager. More on how WI Works User Interface Considerations Most standard Windows based Wizards have Next, Back and Cancel buttons on each Wizard window. Typically a Wizard does not commit your input until you complete it. You can always “back out” from the Wizard, abandoning your input by using the standard Cancel button. The Web Interface Wizard works differently: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 29‐2...
Some Working Tips Figure 29‐1: Web interface ‐ A typical Wizard window Suppose that the Wizard window illustrated in Figure 29‐1 is your current window. Then ‐ • It you use Save & Next, it first commits the data on the current window before moving to the next one. • If you return to the previous window with the Previous button, it does not commit the current window • If you exit the Wizard using the Monitor button, the current window is not committed, but prior commits are not undone. Major implications of these differences will be pointed in Caution messages below. 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 26. Unlike the latter method, you need to reset the ODU to see the change in the Web Interface. » Change the operating Band of an ODU instead of using the RADWIN Manager as in Chapter 23. If you do, always change the band of the physical over‐the‐air site first, so that you do not lock yourself out of the link. » Install/configure a link to work with Ethernet only. » Look at Recent Events for either site » Drop back to Installation mode without losing installed TDM services You cannot: » Change default Tx power RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 29‐3...
Scope of this Chapter » Configure MIMO/Diversity » Manage TDM services » Manage HSS » Manage other features such as GSU, MHS, Ethernet Ring, 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 Never: » Leave your browser unattended while in Installation mode ‐ and then forget to return! Scope of this Chapter The remainder of this chapter is divided into three sections: Logging on, Link Configuration and Installation and Site Configuration. Logging on To use the Web interface, simply point your browser to the IP address of the site to which you are connected. Figure 29‐2: Web interface ‐ Log on The User Name and Password are respectively, admin and netman as used for Telnet access. You must click the Log In button to effect entry to the WI.

Using the Configuration Wizard The most obvious indication that something has changed is the reduced number of available E1 channels (from 16 to 10) reflecting the drop in link capacity due to the antenna change. Less obvious is the Estimated ethernet Throughput, which has dropped from 17.5Mbps to 4.9Mbps on both sides of the link. 7. For the purpose of illustration we revert the link to dual antennas at bot sites and run through the Configure Wizard again. Get to the last panel, Change Bandwidth: 8. Change the Channel Bandwidth to 40Mhz. (It is supported by the link regulation in use.) Click Save & Next. The following advisory message is displayed: After a few moments you are shown the main window: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 29‐11...

Using the Configuration Wizard Changing the Channel bandwidth drops the link into Installation mode, and it remains so after completing the Wizard. Warning You are in Installation mode! The link is up, but services are stopped. You must “walk” through the Install Wizard again, changing nothing. This will revert the link to Active mode with all services enabled. If you do not do this, you will have to re‐configure your services in the usual way, using the Warning RADWIN Manager. Here then, is the final result: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 29‐12...

Appendix C: Small Form‐factor Pluggable Transceiver IDU‐C SFP Support The Small Form‐factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver, is a compact, hot‐pluggable transceiver used in communications applications. The SFP transceiver technology allows almost any protocol converter implementation with seamless integration to a standard Ethernet switch. The IDU‐C supports SFP transceivers to provide and support several network applications. Any standard Fast Ethernet (FE) SFP transceiver can be plugged into the IDU‐C. These SFPs support various Ethernet interfaces. For example a fibre optic interface can be used to support long fibre distances. In addition, System on SFP transceivers can be used, supporting a protocol converter concept. The main application for such SFP transceivers is TDM over Ethernet providing E1/ T1 or E3/T3 over full duplex Ethernet Remote Bridge The following table provides a few SFP types that can be used with the IDU‐C: SFP Type Interface Description 100baseT/1000baseT 100BaseT,1000BaseT IEEE 802.3, UTP CAT 5 100baseFX/1000baseFX Multimode fiber‐optic (MMF) link spans up to 2km long 100baseLX/1000baseLX Single‐mode fiber optic (SMF) links pans up to 10km 100baseBX/1000baseBX SMF single‐strand link spans up to 10 km or 40 km E1/T1/FE E1/T1 with 100 M E3/T3/FE E3/T3 with 100 M E1/T1/GBE E1/T1 with 1000 M E3/T3/GBE E3/T3 with 1000 M RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 C‐1...
Appendix D: MIB Reference Introduction About the MIB The RADWIN MIB is a set of APIs that enables external applications to control RADWIN equipment. The MIB is divided into public and a private API groups: • Public: RFC‐1213 (MIB II) variables, RFC‐1214 (MIB II) System and Interfaces sections • Private: Controlled by RADWIN and supplements the public group. This appendix describes the public and private MIB used by RADWIN. Terminology The following terms are used in this appendix. Term Meaning Management Information Base Application Programming Interface SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol In addition, the MIB uses internally, the older notions of Local site and Remote site where this manual would use site A and site B. To avoid burdening the reader, this appendix will follow the MIB usage. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 D‐1...
Interface API Interface API Control Method The RADWIN Manager application provides all the means to configure and monitor a RADWIN 2000 link, communicating with the SNMP agent in each ODU. Each SNMP agent contains data on each of the IDUs and ODUs in the link. Both agents communicate with each other over the air using a proprietary protocol. Each ODU has a single MAC address and a single IP address. Note To control and configure the device using the MIB, you should adhere to the following rules: • The connection for control and configuration is to the local site, over any SNMP/UDP/IP network. • All Parameters should be consistent between both of the ODUs. Note that inconsistency of air parameters can break the air connection. To correct air parameters inconsistency you must reconfigure each of the ODUs. • Common practice is to configure the remote site first and then to configure the local site. • For some of the configuration parameters additional action must be taken before the new value is loaded. Please refer to the operation in the parameters description. • Some of the MIB parameters values are product dependent. It is strongly recommend using the RADWIN Manager Application for changing these values. Setting wrong values may cause indeterminate results. Community String To control a link, all SNMP requests should go to the local site IP address. See Table 5‐2 for default Community strings. Private MIB Structure The sections in the private RADWIN MIB and its location in the MIB tree are shown in Figure D‐1 below: RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 D‐2...
Private MIB Structure Figure D‐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 ODU, Integrated Antenna and Connectorized (referred in the MIB as external antenna)and GSU: Figure D‐2: Product MIB for RADWIN 2000 The ODU MIB contains the sections: Admin, Service, Ethernet, Bridge, Air, PerfMon and Agent. The IDU MIB contains the sections: Admin, Service, Ethernet, Bridge and TDM. 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. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 D‐3...
MIB Parameters MIB Parameters The following section describes all of the MIB parameters. The MIB parameters follow the following naming convention: <winlink1000><Section 1>...<Section n><Parameter Name> For each of the configuration and control parameters (parameters with read‐write access), the “Description” column describes when the new value is effective. It is recommended that you perform the appropriate action to make the values affective immediately after any change. Where a change is required on both sides of the link, it is recommended that you change both sides of the link first and then perform the action. RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 D‐4...

Appendix F: Setting Antenna Parameters Antenna Issues The choice of Tx Power, antenna gain and cable loss (between the radio and the antenna) determines the EIRP and is affected by such considerations as radio limitations and regulatory restrictions. Before proceeding to antenna installation details, the following background information should be considered: About Single and Dual Antennas Each RADWIN 2000 ODU has two radio transceivers (radios). The radios make use of algorithms that utilize both MIMO 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 Both Link Sites When using dual antennas at both sites (single dual‐pole antenna or two single‐pole antennas) you can choose between MIMO Mode and Diversity Mode. MIMO Mode Under this mode, the system doubles the link capacity. At the same time, it keeps the same rate and modulation per radio as was used with single antenna, thus increasing capacity, range and availability. For example with a dual antenna RADWIN 2000 can transmit at modulation of 64QAM and FEC of 5/6 and get an air rate of 130 Mbps, compared to 65 Mbps with single antenna. To work in this mode, each antenna port must be connected to an antenna, the RSS level in both receivers should be balanced and a minimal separation between the antennas must be maintained. (For example, by using dual polarization antennas a cross polarization separation is attained). RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30 F‐1...

Single Antennas at Both Sites Upon selecting Antenna Type as Dual, RADWIN 2000 automatically selects this mode and doubles the air rates. RADWIN Manager indicates a case of unbalanced RSS between the two antennas. 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 MIMO in the following situations: • When the system cannot operate in MIMO 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 MIMO 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 both sites, 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 2000 User Manual Release 2.8.30...

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. • To see the relationship between Tx Power (radio) and Tx Power (sys‐ tem), note that milliWatt so that if you double the power in milliWatts (for two radios) then dBm will increase by • The Max EIRP level will be automatically set according to the selected band and regulation. • The EIRP level is the sum of the System Tx Power and the Antenna Notes Gain minus the Cable Loss. • The Max EIRP level will be automatically set according to the selected band and regulation. • The EIRP level is the sum of the System Tx Power and the Antenna Gain minus the Cable Loss. 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.
