AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Basic Installation 21 CHAPTER 3: BASIC INSTALLATION The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Windows 7 / 8 / 10, Linux, Mac OS, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration. PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly or through an external repeater hub and have TCP/IP installed or configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the routers web interface it may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect their network. Please follow the steps below for your PCs network environment installation. First of all, please check your PCs network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals. Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through the AirConnect 8231. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the manufacturers documentation.

However, the client router behind the AirConnect 8231 can get a WAN IP address instead. When disabled, AirConnect 8231 is in router mode that it handles a WAN IP address and all routing-
related features become available. Network Mode: Select a cellular mode. Select Automatic to auto detect the best mode for you. TEL No.: The dial string to make a 5G user internetworking call. It may provide by your mobile service provider. Dual or Multiple APN: AirConnect 8231 can support up to two (2) APNs, Single or Dual. APN: An APN is similar to a URL on the WWW; it is what the unit makes a GPRS / UMTS call. The service provider is able to attach anything to an APN to create a data connection, requirements for APNs varies between different service providers. Most service providers have an internet portal which they use to connect to a DHCP Server, thus giving you access to the internet i.e. some mobile/cellular operators use the APN internet for their portal. The default value is internet. Authentication Protocol: Manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password Authentication Protocol). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, while CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods to ensure that an intruder has not replaced the client. Username/Password: Enter the username and password provided by your service provider. The username and password are case sensitive. PIN: PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain systems as a password to gain access and authenticate. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the SIM card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone 3 times in a row, then the SIM card will be blocked, and you will require a PUK code from your network/service provider. Connection: Default set to Always on to keep an always-on 5G connection. Keep Alive: Select Yes to ensure the 5G internet connection is always available. Keep Alive IP: Enter the IP address that the AirConnect 8231 can ping the IP to find whether the connection is on or not, if not, router will recover the connection.

Background Ping IP: Enter the IP address that the AirConnect 8231 can ping the IP address. Default Route: Select Yes to use this interface as default route interface. NAT: Select this option to Disabled/Enable the NAT (Network Address Translation) function. Enable NAT to grant multiples devices in LAN to access to the Internet through a single WAN IP. MTU: Enter the maximum packet that can be transmitted. Use default 1500 bytes by entering MTU 0. AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Interface Setup LAN 51 LAN A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached and is limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. IPv4 Parameters IP Address: Enter the IP address of Router in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.254
(factory default). IP Subnet Mask: The default is 255.255.255.0. User can change it to other such as 255.255.255.128. Alias IP Address: This is for local networks virtual IP interface. Specify an IP address on this virtual interface. Alias IP Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface. IGMP Snooping: Select Activated to enable IGMP Snooping function, Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group. Dynamic Route:
RIP Version: (Routing Information protocol) Select this option to specify the RIP version, including RIP-1, RIP-2. RIP Direction: Select this option to specify the RIP direction.
- None is for disabling the RIP function.
- Both means the router will periodically send routing information and accept routing information then incorporate into routing table.
IN only means the router will only accept but will not send RIP packet.
- OUT only means the router will only send but will not accept RIP packet. DHCPv4 Server DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Interface Setup LAN 52 DHCPv4 Server: If set to Enabled, your AirConnect 8231 can assign IP addresses, default gateway and DNS servers to the DHCP client. If set to Disabled, the DHCP server will be disabled. If set to Relay, the AirConnect 8231 acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server field in this case. When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set. Start IP: This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool. IP Pool Count: This field specifies the count of the IP address pool. Lease Time: The current lease time of client. DNS Relay:
Select Automatic detection or Manually specific Primary and Secondary DNS IP addresses Primary / Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask. Option 66: Set the IP or hostname of the TFTP server for devices, like IPTV Set Box, to get configuration settings from the TFTP server. Option 160: Set the IP or hostname of the TFTP server for devices, like IPTV Set Box, to get configuration settings from the TFTP server. (The option 160 is an extended feature in DHCP option, similar to option 66, but using http or https protocols.) Fixed Host In this field, users can map the specific IP (must in the DHCP IP pool) for some specific MAC, and this information can be listed in the following table. IP Address: Enter the specific IP. For example: 192.168.1.110. AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual MAC Address: Enter the responding MAC. For example: 00:0A:F7:45:6D:ED When added, you can see the ones listed as showed below:
Device Configuration Interface Setup LAN 53 IPv6 Parameters The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. Interface Address / Prefix Length: Enter a static LAN IPv6 address. If you are not sure what to do with this field, please leave it empty as if contains false information it could result in LAN devices not being able to access other IPv6 device. Router will take the same WANs prefix to LAN side if the field is empty. DHCPv6 Server There are two methods to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts, Stateless and Stateful. Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information
(prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you neednt configure anything on the client. AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Interface Setup LAN 54 Stateful configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful auto configuration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts. DHCPv6 Server: Click Enable to activate the DHCPv6 server. DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is available. Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server. Stateful: If selected, the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and DNS information from DHCPv6 server. Start interface ID: enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4. End interface ID: enter the end interface ID. Leased Time (seconds): the leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned. Router Advertisement: Check to Enable or Disable the Issue Router Advertisement feature. This feature is to send Router Advertisement messages periodically which would multicast the IPv6 Prefix information (similar to v4 network number 192.168.1.0) to all LAN devices if the field is enabled. We suggest enabling this field. Click Save to apply settings. AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Interface Setup IPv6-464XLAT 55 IPv6-464XLAT This feature is to translate the IPv4 packet into IPv6 then send it over an IPv6 network to the PLAT. IPv6-464XLAT: Choose Activated to enable the 464XLAT feature. CLAT IPv4 Address: Enter the received WAN IP in IPv4 from your internet service provider. Destination IPv6 Prefix: if select Manually, enter the IPv6 prefix of the PLAT. If you are not sure what to do with this field, select Automatically; device will request the IPv6 prefix from your internet service provider. Click Save to apply settings AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Interface Setup Loopback Interface 56 Loopback Interface Loopback interface is a widely known virtual interface, not the physical interface, on router and is highly robust and always up. The loopback interface has its own IP and subnet mask, often used for router management as Telnet management IP and involved in BGP as BGP Update-Source and OSPF as Router ID. IP Address: Enter a dedicated IP address for the loopback interface. IP Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask for the loopback interface. Click Save to apply settings AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Advanced Setup Firewall 57 Advanced Setup Advanced Setup provides advanced features including Firewall, Routing, Dynamic Routing, NAT, VRRP, Static DNS, QoS, Time Schedule, and Mail Alert for advanced users. Firewall Your router includes a firewall for helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a natural Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. Firewall: To automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, Port Scan and Land Attack. Enabled: Activate your firewall function. Disabled: Deactivate the firewall function. SPI: If you enabled SPI, all traffics initiated from WAN would be blocked, including DMZ, Virtual Server, and ACL WAN side. Enabled: Activate your SPI function. Disabled: Deactivate the SPI function. Click Save to apply settings. AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Advanced Setup Routing 58 Static Routing This is static route feature. You are equipped with the capability to control the routing of all the traffic across your network. With each routing rule created, user can specifically assign the destination where the traffic will be routed to. Index #: The indication of the routing table number. Destination IP Address: IP address of the destination network Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of destination network. Gateway IP Address: IP address of the gateway or existing interface that this route uses. Metric: It represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. Interface: Media/channel selected to append the route. Edit: Edit the route; this icon is not shown for system default route. Drop: Drop the route; this icon is not shown for system default route. Add Route Destination IP Address: This is the destination subnet IP address. Destination Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of destination network. Gateway IP Address or Interface: This is the gateway IP address or existing interface to which packets are to be forwarded. Metric: It represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. Click Save to add this route. AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Advanced Setup Dynamic Routing (OSPF) 59 Dynamic Routing The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature transforms a private IP into a public IP, allowing multiple users to access the internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. NAT break the originally envisioned model of IP end-to-end connectivity across the internet so NAT can cause problems where IPSec/ PPTP encryption is applied or some application layer protocols such as SIP phones are located behind a NAT. And NAT makes it difficult for systems behind a NAT to accept incoming communications. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) OSPF: Enable to activate OSPF routing. Rule Index: The indication of the rule number. The maximum entry is up to 10, ranging from 0 to 9. Interface: Set the interface which runs the OSPF process (involved in OSPF routing). It can be WAN interfaces or established GRE tunnels. Area ID: The OSPF area identifier. It is a decimal number in the range of 0-4294967295. Enter the area ID in which the interface belongs to. The area with area-id=0 is the backbone area. If the router has networks in more than one area, then an area with area-id=0 (the backbone) must always be present. All other areas are connected to it. The backbone is responsible for distributing routing information between non-backbone areas. The backbone must be contiguous, i.e. there must be no disconnected segments. However, area border routers do not need to be physically connected to the backbone - connection to it may be simulated using a virtual link. Click Save to apply settings. AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Advanced Setup Dynamic Routing (BGP) 60 Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) A standardized exterior gateway protocol (an uniquely TCP based inter-Autonomous System routing protocol) designed to allow setting up an inter-domain dynamic routing system that automatically updates routing tables of devices running BGP in case of network topology changes. BGP: Enable to activate BGP routing. AS Number: Designate the AS number of the local router. The AS number is used to identify the IBGP or EBGP your neighbor is running. The same AS number means the IBGP, and the different means EBGP. Rule Index: The indication of the rule number. The maximum entry is up to 10, ranging from 0 to 9. Neighbor IP: Enter the neighbor IP address. Neighbor AS Number: Enter the neighbor AS number. Allowas-in: Enable to allow inter-communication between devices in the same AS. If the local and neighbor AS number are the same, thus, an inter-AS communication, please enable the allowas-in. Otherwise, the router only support EBGP routing between different domains. Next-Hop-Self: Enable to use the routers own loopback address as the next-hop address. Soft-reconfiguration inbound: Enable to save, pre-stored, a new inbound policy to the BGP table without interrupting the network when applying this new policy. EBGP (External BGP)-multihop: Enable to build up peer connection/information with external neighbors. Click Save to apply settings.

AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Advanced Setup NAT (Virtual Server) 63 Virtual Server NOTE: This feature disables automatically if WAN connection is in BRIDGE mode or NAT is being turned OFF. Virtual Server is also known as Port Forwarding that allows AirConnect 8231 to direct all incoming traffic to the servers on the LAN. Configure a virtual rule in AirConnect 8231 for remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP services via the public (WAN) IP address that can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN network. Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. Virtual Server for: Indicate the related WAN interface to allow outside network to communicate with the internal LAN device. Protocol: Choose the application protocol. Start / End Port Number: Enter a port or port range you want to forward.
(Example: Start / End: 1000 or Start: 1000 & End: 2000). The starting port must be greater than zero (0). The end port must be greater than or equal to the start port. Local IP Address: Enter the server IP address in the network to receive the traffic/packets. Start / End Port Number (Local): Enter the start / end port number of the local application (service).

For this reason you are advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires, instead of using DMZ. As doing so will result in all connections from the WAN attempt to access to your public IP of the DMZ PC specified. Attention If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server function will hence be invalid. If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router. AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Advanced Setup NAT (Example) 65 Example: How to setup Port Forwarding for port 21 (FTP server) If you have FTP server in your LAN network and want others to access it through WAN. Step 1: Assign a static IP to your local computer that is hosting the FTP server. Step 2: Login to the Gateway and go to Configuration / Advanced Setup / NAT / Virtual Server. FTP server uses TCP protocol with port 21. Enter 21 to Start and End Port Number. The AirConnect 8231 will accept port 21 requests from WAN side. Enter the static IP assigned to the local PC that is hosting the FTP server. Ex: 192.168.1.111 Enter 21 to Local Start and End Port number. The AirConnect 8231 will forward port 21 request from WAN to the specific LAN PC (Example: 192.168.1.111) in the network. Step 3: Click Save to save settings. AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Advanced Setup VRRP 66 VRRP VRRP is designed to eliminate the single point of failure inherent in the static default routed environment. VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers in a LAN. The VRRP router controlling the IP address associated with a virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets sent to these IP addresses. The election process provides dynamic fail-over in the forwarding responsibility should the Master become unavailable. Any of the virtual router's IP addresses in a LAN can then be used as the default first hop router by end-hosts. The advantage gained from using VRRP is a higher availability default path without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host. VRRP: Click to activate the feature. VRID: Virtual Router Identifier, range from 1-255 (decimal). A master or backup router running the VRRP protocol may participate in one VRID instance. Priority: Specifies the sending VRRP router's priority for the virtual router. Higher values equal higher priority. The priority value for the VRRP router that owns the IP address associated with the virtual router MUST be 255. VRRP routers backing up a virtual router MUST use priority values between 1 and 254. The default priority value for VRRP routers backing up a virtual router is 100. The priority value zero (0) has special meaning indicating that the current Master has stopped participating in VRRP. This is used to trigger Backup routers to quickly transition to Master without having to wait for the current Master to timeout. Preempt Mode: When preempt mode is activated, a backup router always takes over the responsibility of the master router. When deactivated, the lower priority backup is left in the master state. VRIP: An IP address which is associated with the virtual router. Advertisement period: Indicates the time interval in seconds between advertisements. Default in 1 second.

AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Device Configuration Advanced Setup Static DNS 67 Static DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network associated with various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide. An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the domain name www.example.com can be translated into the addresses 192.0.32.10 (IPv4). IP Address: Enter a static DNS IP address.

Sensing capability (if supported) AirConnect 8231 5G CBRS Outdoor Router User Manual Appendix 106 CBSD Protocol The SAS-CBSD protocol is based on the HTTPS (HTTP over TLS) protocol. The HTTPS protocol provides transport level assurance that a message has been received by the intended recipient. During discovery, the HTTPS protocol manages SAS-CBSD message delivery. Communications between the CBSD and SAS are initiated by the CBSD when it is in an Unregistered state. SAS CBSD TLS mutual authentication shall be performed per whenever a CBSD communicates with a SAS. TLS-v1.2 shall be used to perform authentication. Previous versions of TLS (e.g., TLS-v1.1 per RFC-4346, TLS-v1.0 per RFC-2246 or SSL-v3.0) shall not be used. During the TLS exchange, mutual authentication shall be performed. The CBSD initiating the TLS connection shall authenticate the SAS, and the SAS shall authenticate the CBSD. During the TLS message exchange, the CBSD shall authenticate a SAS. Server certificate validation shall be performed. A CBSD which is unable to successfully authenticate a SAS shall abort the TLS connection establishment procedure. It is implementation specific when the CBSD should re-attempt the TLS connection establishment procedure. During the TLS message exchange, the CBSD provides its client certificate to the SAS. The SAS shall perform client certificate validation. A SAS which is unable to successfully authenticate a CBSD shall abort the TLS connection establishment procedure. A CBSD which is unable to successfully setup such an encrypted connection with a SAS shall abort the TLS connection establishment procedure. It is implementation specific when the CBSD should re-
attempt the TLS connection establishment procedure. Subsequent to successful authentication, the CBSD and SAS shall negotiate a ciphersuite to use for encrypting all communications between the two entities. The ciphersuite shall be selected from the following list (ref. [n.1]):
TLS RSA with AES 128 GCM SHA256 TLS RSA with AES 256 GCM SHA384 TLS ECDHE ECDSA with AES 128 GCM SHA 256 The CBSD first creates a secure association and then initiates the Registration procedure by sending a RegistrationRequest object to the SAS with parameters that identify the CBSD to the SAS, provide specific information on the CBSD equipment capabilities, and identifies the measurement reporting capabilities of the CBSD. Optionally the CBSD may request the SAS to enroll the CBSD as a member of one or more Groups. The SAS responds to the CBSD with parameters that indicate whether the registration succeeded or failed. If the CBSD has any existing Grants prior to sending the Registration Request, all Grants shall be deleted. If the SAS had any existing Grants assigned to the CBSD, upon receiving the Registration Request from the CBSD, all such Grants shall be deleted.
