Failure to comply with these instructions could void the operators authorization to operate the equipment. Page 4 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide 1. Introducing Intelligent Backhaul Radio (IBR) 1.1 Overview IBR combines a Carrier Ethernet switch and an AnyLOS radio that can simultaneously operate in non-, near-, and clear line of sight radio conditions. It is designed for small cell deployment in dense urban environments where line of sight between radios is difficult or impossible to achieve. IBR is small, passively-cooled, and environmentally protected for use mainly in macro-
cellular backhaul, commercial services fiber fill-in, and small cell backhaul applications. It can be mounted on masts, poles, walls, cell towers, or in other such locations and requires little or no alignment when the radios are pointed in the general direction of one another. NOTE: For safety reasons and FCC compliance, IBR should be installed in a restricted access location that is accessible only by authorized service personnel. 1.2 Transmit & Receive Frequencies There are two versions of IBR that operate together to form the two ends of a link. o o IBR58, a 5.8 GHz radio, transmits in the band from 5.725 GHz to 5.85 GHz and receives in the band from 5.25 GHz to 5.35 GHz. IBR53, a 5.3 GHz radio, transmits in the band from 5.25 GHz to 5.35 GHz and receives in the band from 5.725 GHz to 5.85 GHz. 1.3 Radio Features IBR uses adaptive rate modulation, proprietary interference avoidance and cancellation techniques, and antenna array signal processing to deliver reliable and secure high speed data transmission over links where line-of-sight between radios is difficult or impossible to achieve. The table below shows IBR performance in a typical installation. IBR Performance1 Data Rate Average Latency Operating Range Operating Frequencies EIRP Scalable to 500 Mbps

In referring to the two radios, IBR nearest to the fiber connection is called the aggregation IBR and the one nearest to the cell site is the remote IBR. o o o IBR can be connected to an edge switch. IBRs can be connected to one another in a multi-hop configuration. IBR can provide backhaul for a direct connection to a small cell site (SC). 1.7 Physical & Environmental Features IBR:
5 Electromagnetic Compatibility/Electromagnetic Interference 6 Network Equipment Building Systems Page 6 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide o Is passively cooled and can operate continuously at full power and duty cycle under maximum solar load at ambient temperatures from -40o C to +60o C. o Can be stored safely at temperatures in the range from -55o C to +85o C. o Experiences a wind load of less than 300N when exposed to a wind speed of 265 km/hr. o Has an IP667 environmental rating. IBR weighs approximately 4 kg and has the approximate dimensions shown in the illustration. Return to Table of Contents 2. Getting Started 2.1 Physical Inspection Prior to opening the shipping crate, inspect it visually for evidence that it has been opened or mishandled. After opening the crate, carefully inspect the contents for completeness or evidence of damage or tampering. In the event the shipping crate is damaged or the contents are damaged or incomplete, notify Fastback Networks by telephone, fax, or email. The shipping crate, dividers, and packing materials should be retained for use in the event that equipment must be returned to Fastback Networks. After removing IBR from its packing crate, record the serial number and model number
(IBR58 or IBR53), both of which will be needed in case it is necessary to seek assistance from Fastback Networks Customer Support Group. DO NOT BREAK THE TAMPER SEALS ON HARDWARE. DOING SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MIGHT CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD AND/OR CAUSE THE EQUIPMENT TO BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH FCC REGULATIONS. 7 Ingress Protection Rating Page 7 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide DO NOT ATTEMPT TO APPLY POWER TO AN IBR THAT SHOWS SIGNS OF DAMAGE, TAMPERING, OR MISHANDLING. 2.2 Inventory The following components are required for successful installation of IBR:
(a) One IBR53, Model IBR-1000-38N and one IBR58, model IBR-1000-83N. Each IBR includes the following:
o Three weatherproof RJ-45 cable-end connectors for CAT5E & CAT6 cables*;
o A weatherproof cap for the four-pin serial connector that is attached to IBR when the IBR serial connector is not in use*. o Two weatherproof caps for RJ-45 connectors that are attached to IBR when the IBR RJ-45 connectors are not in use*. o A two-meter serial cable with a DB-9 connector on one end and a four-pin connector on the other end;
o Six crimp-on ends for RJ-45 connectors & instructions o An information sheet for accessing regulatory documents and manuals on line;
o A quick reference guide;
o A warranty registration card;
*Note: For proper operation of IBR, the weatherproof integrity of all cables and connectors should be maintained and weatherproof caps should be firmly installed on unused connectors at all times.
(b) A mounting bracket for each IBR. Fastback Networks can supply two types: (a) a fixed wall/pole mount, model IBR-AC-BRP, and (b) an articulating wall/pole mount, model IBR-AC-BRA.
(c) An IP-66 rated PoE+ injector for each IBR; model IBR-AC-PON.
(d) A PoE Injector Mounting Kit, model IBR-AC-POM for each IBR. 2.3 External Features The illustration below identifies external features of IBR. Page 8 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide Radome Ethernet Connectors
& LEDs Serial Console Connector Mounting Lug Grounding Lug The side where the mounting lugs and serial port are located is referred to as the back, since it is the side that will be against a wall or mast when IBR is mounted. The side that has the three Ethernet connectors and two LEDs is referred to as the bottom. Even though the connectors are weatherproof, IBR should be mounted with the connectors facing downward for maximum environmental protection. 2.4 Power Requirements IBR must be powered via PoE+ through the RJ-45 connector labeled Port 0. Applying PoE+
through any of the other Ethernet connectors will cause no harm, but will not power IBR. Operating at full RF power, IBR requires less than 25.5 watts, thereby conforming to the IEEE 802.3at Type 2 standard for PoE+. IBR does not have a capability to provide PoE to other devices on the network. IBR may be powered by a FastBack power injector or by the PowerDsine 9001GO Power over Ethernet (PoE) single-port Midspan injector. 2.5 Technical Assistance In the event there is a problem with IBR or other equipment provided by Fastback Networks
( e.g., it arrives damaged or incomplete, or appears to not work properly), the operator should contact Fastback Networks service center via telephone or email and be prepared to provide:
o Product type and serial number o Product service history (e.g., when was it received, how long has it been in service, other relevant information) o Description of the problem o Customer contact information Fastback Networks Customer Service can be reached by email at customer.service@fastbacknetworks.com, or by telephone at (408) 430-5440 & select the Service option. Page 9 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide Return to Table of Contents 3. Communicating with IBR IBR has no external or internal keypads, switches, dials, knobs, or other physical controls. Therefore, an operator will require a smart terminal, computer, workstation, or other such device to communicate with IBR using command line interface and accessing IBR via any of the Ethernet ports using Telnet or SSh or via the serial console port. 3.1 Access Control IBR can be configured to require a valid user ID and password for access. Two levels of access can be established: minimum functionality and full functionality. Detailed instructions for controlling access to IBR are contained in the CLI Guide. 3.2 Serial Console IBR has a four-pin connector that provides a serial interface for connection to a local operator terminal. This interface typically will be used by an operator to communicate with and control the IBR during preconfiguration and troubleshooting or at other times when a local operator needs to communicate with IBR other than over an Ethernet link. The mating cable that is provided with IBR has a DB9 connector on the other end. The illustrations below show the pinouts of the two connectors and the cable wiring scheme. This interface can be used by an operator only to control, configure, and troubleshoot IBC, but not for general network connectivity or data transmission. Pin-outs of the four-pin serial connector are shown in the table below. PIN #
1 2 3 4 Purpose Ground Transmit Receive Not used The following settings are recommended when communicating with IBR via the serial interface:
o 115,200 bps o 8 data bits o 1 stop bit o No parity Page 10 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide o No flow control o 25 lines and 80 columns window size NOTE: If a serial device is disconnected and then reconnected, CLI might be left in a bad command state and not respond to legitimate commands. This condition can be cleared by entering <cr> <cr> <Ctrl-C>. 3.3 Remote Access & Default IP Addresses IBR may be accessed remotely over the network from telnet or SSH. The default IP addresses are:
192.168.128.53 for the 5.3 GHz IBR; and 192.168.128.58 for the 5.8GHz IBR. The default hostnames are IBR53 and IBR58 for the 5.3 GHz and 5.8GHz IBRs, respectively. 3.4 Graphical User Interface (GUI) IBRs GUI provides an alternate way to monitor and control IBR. The following describes the top level screens that are available in the GUI. As a user navigates the pages of the GUI, a Help button at the top right corner of each page will open a page in this CLI Guide that corresponds to the subject matter of the GUI page. 3.4.1 Site Map The GUI has four top level screens. A user will initially land on the Site Map which has three buttons across the top that will open the Configuration, Monitor, and Maintain screens, respectively. Below each button is a list of topics and subtopics that can be accessed from that button. 3.4.2 Configuration Screen The Configuration screen provides the following features. System DNS SNMP LED NTP Radio General Receiver Transmitter Add or delete DNS Set contacts and locations Set views Configure communities Configure traps/notifications Show views Turn LEDs on or off Add, delete, view NTPs Set link ID Configure radio history functions (BLER, MCS, RSSI, SNR) Clear Rx channel Set Rx channel, Rx profile Turn transmitter on or off Clear Tx channel Set Tx channel, Tx profile, bandwidth Set attenuation, power mode FEC Enable/disable BARQ Page 11 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide Set BARQ maximum retries Resource Control Enable/disable RRC Set RRC mode Configure RRC Block/unblock frequencies Configure RLC Switching Global VLAN Ports Set maximum MTU Set up bridging Set L2 aging Clear counters Add/delete VLAN Set default gateway Manage VLANs Clear port counters Shut down ports Set trust level Set duplex mode 3.4.3 Monitor Screen The Monitor screen displays status of the IBR system, radio, switching, counters, and ports. 3.4.4 Maintain Screen Maintenance features available on the Maintain screen include the following:
About Provides general information about the system. Tech Support Download a file to send to Tech Support Running Configuration Shows the current configuration Upgrade Upload new software image to upgrad IBR Web User Mgmt Create and delete web user list Factory Default Reset radio configuration to default Rest all configurations to factory default Device Features & RBAC Create User Groups and Permission Groups Reboot Restart IBR 3.5 Command Line Interface (CLI) When an operator logs onto IBR, CLI will be launched in startup (i.e., User) mode that provides minimal functionality. o CLI is supported on the serial interface and via Telnet or SSH connections through the Ethernet interface. o CLI uses a mix of IOS syntax. o Access to the full functionality mode (i.e., Privileged mode) can be controlled by password. Detailed information can be found in the CLI Guide. Page 12 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide 3.6 Antennas The radome on top of IBR houses transmit and receive antennas that face outward through the flat sides of the radome. The direction in which the antennas are pointed can be changed only by changing the orientation of the IBR itself. IBR is not designed to be used with external antennas. 3.7 Gigabit Ethernet Ports IBR is a 4-port Ethernet switch. Three Gigabit Ethernet ports are exposed externally, and one is connected internally to the radio. Beginning with the port nearest the LEDs, the external Gigabit Ethernet ports are numbered 0, 1, and 2 (ge0, ge1, ge2). The Gigabit Ethernet port that is connected to the radio (not externally available) is identified as Gigabit Ethernet 3 (ge3). Radio parameters are configured through the radio 0 interface, while switching parameters that apply both to the physical Gigabit Ethernet ports and the radio port, such as VLAN, QoS, and CoS, are configured through the Gigabit Ethernet interface. 3.8 Interfaces Ethernet interfaces, including loopback interfaces, can be created, as discussed in the CLI Guide, and each port can be assigned to one or more interfaces. 3.9 External Ethernet connectors o All three of the Ethernet connectors on the bottom of IBR can be used for traffic and IBR management data, but only the one nearest the LEDs (ge0) can accept PoE+. o There are two variants of IBR: one has three RJ-45 connectors and the other has one RJ-45 (for ge0) and SFP8 connectors for ge1 and ge2. o The RJ-45 connectors will accept shielded and bonded RJ-45 type mating connectors with a weatherproof seal. It is essential that only weatherproof connectors be connected to IBR. 3.10 LEDs Two weatherproof LEDs that are mounted adjacent to ge0 provide a visual means for an operator to determine the status of IBR. Both LEDs can be deactivated via CLI command. See the CLI Guide for detailed information. When the LEDs are active (the default condition):
o The upper LED (when the LEDs are on the left from the viewers perspective) will be green when an active Ethernet link is established between IBR and another device. This LED will be dark if no Ethernet link has been established. o The lower LED will turn green when power is applied to IBR. Return to Table of Contents 4. Preconfiguring IBR The following procedure is for preconfiguring a pair of IBRs prior to installation. 4.1 Orienting IBRs For Bench Test And Preconfiguration CAUTION: When power is applied, the radios automatically will begin transmitting. 8 Small form-factor pluggable fiber optic transceiver Page 13 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide To avoid the possibility of damaging an IBR by overdriving the front end of the receiver, prior to connecting a power source, position the radios so that they are tilted away from each other, facing downward, and separated by at least one meter. Check the RSSI using the following CLI command in the Global Config mode:
IBR58 (config) # interface radio 0 status RSSI should be -20dB or less. If RSSI is greater than -20 dB (e.g., -17dB, -15dB, etc.) then further separate the radios to avoid receiver saturation. 4.2 Applying Power CAUTION - IBR does not have a power on/off switch, either in hardware or software. When power is applied to the unit, IBR will be in a power on condition and the lower LED beside the Port 0 connector will be green unless the LED has been disabled by the operator. Apply power to each IBR using a PoE+ source connected to Gigabit Ethernet interface 0. 4.3 Logging Onto IBR Using Factory-Set User Name & Password When CLI is launched and the user name dialog box appears, the user can enter either fbn or admin for access (unless the user name has been changed by an operator). The factory-
set password is fastback. When a user with Privileged access changes the user name, changing either admin or fbn will cause both to be changed to the new user name. 4.4 Entering CLI User Mode When a user logs onto IBR with a valid user name and password , CLI automatically will be in the User Mode, which offers a limited set of commands. The CLI command prompt in User Mode is the symbol > followed by a space. When the command prompt is displayed, it will be preceded by the host name if one has been assigned. Throughout this manual and the CLI Guide, the host name IBR58 will be used. The User Mode prompt is shown below:
IBR58 >
The host name can be changed or omitted by a Privileged user. The commands shown below are the only commands available in User mode. Mode/Command IBR>
enable ping exit traceroute User Commands Remarks User Mode Enter Privileged Mode Determine (a) if a remote host is active & (b) transit time Determine route & transit time to a remote host Close CLI 4.5 Entering CLI Privileged Mode Enter Privileged (Priv) mode by entering the enable command:
IBR58 > enable The default password for entering Priv mode is fastback. All CLI commands are available in Priv mode. For a detailed discussion of CLI commands, refer to the CLI Guide. Page 14 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide 4.6 Confirming VLAN Settings By default, VLAN functionality is enabled on IBR and all interfaces are assigned to VLAN1. During initial configuration, the operator should assign VLANs to interfaces as desired. IBR can be managed using any VLAN to which an IP address is assigned. See the section titled Separating Management Traffic From Data Traffic for details on assigning an IP address to a VLAN and using VLANs to segment management traffic from data traffic. Interfaces may be configured to support both tagged and untagged packets. Each IBR interface can be configured to support ingress and egress of tagged packets for all VLANs connected to the interface except for a VLAN that is configured as native to that interface. Packets tagged with the VLAN number that is configured as the native VLAN for an interface will be dropped. Enter the following command to confirm that vlan1 is enabled. IBR58 # show vlan brief The following is a sample return for this command. VLAN 1 Name VLAN1 Status active Native ge0 ge1 ge2 ge3 Allowed ge0 ge1 ge2 ge3 The response shown above indicates that vlan1 is attached to all eight interfaces. 4.7 Displaying IBR IP Address Enter the following command to confirm that IBR has been assigned an IP address. IBR58 # show ip interfaces This command will return an output similar to the following example:
link/ether 18:48:d8:00:00:39 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 16436 qdisc noop link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 1:
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 3: danipc: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 4: eth0.1@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue link/ether 18:48:d8:00:00:39 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.21.2.195/16 brd 10.21.255.255 scope global link/ether 00:24:86:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Following the first three interfaces in the output, there will be an additional interface for each VLAN. The name of the interface is eth0.nn where nn is the VLAN number to which the IP address is assigned. Note that even though the interface shows eth0, the IP address will be reachable only through interfaces to which that VLAN has been assigned. 4.8 Separating Management Traffic From Data Traffic IBR interfaces should be configured in such a way as to separate internal management traffic from user data traffic (i.e., prevent management traffic from being sent over the network). The following sequence of commands illustrates a way to accomplish this. VLAN2, VLAN823, and the IP addresses shown are used only as examples. 4.8.1 Create VLAN interfaces Page 15 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide Prompt IBR58 (config)#

4.8.7 Reviewing the new configuration. The configuration created in this section creates three distinct interfaces for use on the IBR.
(a) eth0.1 is the management interface on VLAN1 (the default VLAN on IBR). VLAN1 has been assigned to GigabitEthernet port ge0 and given the IP address 10.21.12.211/16. This interface is isolated from the other interfaces and can be used to access the IBR and manage the switch without allowing management traffic to traverse the RF link or go out onto the network.
(b) eth0.2 is the data interface on VLAN 2, which has been assigned to GigabitEthernet ports ge1, ge2, and ge3. Traffic on VLAN2 can be sent across the RF link and out onto the network. It allows all untagged traffic and traffic tagged with VLAN ID 2 to be sent to the network. GigabitEthernet ports 1 and 2 are physical ports allowing connections to the provider network. GigabitEthernet 3 is dedicated to the IBR RF link and creates a wireless bridge between two network segments.
(c) eth0.823 is an isolated debug interface on VLAN 823. VLAN823 will allow traffic only to be sent from one IBR to the other across the wireless link and requires that the sender be logged onto one of the IBRs. Page 17 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide One use of this interface is to allow a user to send ping packets to the opposite IBR to verify link integrity. This VLAN has no exposure to a physical network interface so traffic on this VLAN is isolated from the network. 4.9 Saving New Configuration Use the following commands to save the new settings to the startup configuration file. IBR58 (config)# copy running-config start-up config 4.10 Changing Host Name Change the host name using the following command in Global Config mode. IBR58 (config) # host name [newname]
4.11 Changing Passwords The command for setting or changing a password has the following form:
IBR58 # enable password {level (1, 15)} [newpassword]
where level must either be the number 1 or the number 15 and newpassword must be a string of at least six and not more than sixteen characters and can include any letter, any numeral, and any of the following symbols: ! @ # $ % . o When level = 1, the password to enter User Mode will be affected. o When level = 15, the password to enter Privileged Mode will be affected. When no level option is entered, Privileged Mode will be affected. 4.12 Password Recovery In the event that the Privileged Mode password is forgotten, the following procedure can be used to reset all IBR settings to their default values, thereby allowing a user to regain access to IBR. This procedure will boot IBR into a Linux root shell single-user mode where the user can change the Privileged Mode password. o o Initiate a system reboot and, within two (2) seconds, press Ctrl C to interrupt the reboot process. Enter the following command when the uMON> prompt is displayed:
uMON> run flash all IBR will take several minutes to reboot. When the Linux prompt is displayed, enter the command passwd root and then respond to the succeeding prompts to change the Privileged Mode password and reboot the system. o When IBR reboots to CLI User Mode, use the default user name and password to log onto the system. Use the new Privilege Mode password to enter Privilege Mode. o Then follow the standard procedure to change the User Mode Unser name and password. Note: To interrupt an ongoing reboot, enter the command Ctrl C. 4.13 Setting System Clock The command to set the IBR system clock is executed in Global Config mode and has the following form. IBR58 (config) # clock set [hh:mm:ss] [YYYY-MM-DD]
where all of the arguments are integers. Page 18 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide 4.14 Configuring IBR Name Server The following command can be used to configure the Name server. IBR58 (config)# ip name-server [ip-address}
4.15 Configuring IBR NTP Server The following command can be used to configure the NTP server. IBR58 (config)# ntp server [ip-address}
4.16 Configuring IBR SNMP Server The following sequence of commands can be used to configure the SNMP server. IBR58 (config) # snmp-server host [ip-address]
IBR58 (config) # snmp-server community [com-name]

4.18 Establishing A Radio Link IBRs will automatically establish a link using the best frequencies to optimize data throughput. Return to Table of Contents 5. MAC Address Table & Counters IBR contains one table and twenty counters. 5.1 MAC Address Table The MAC Address table, sometimes referred to as the L2 (or Layer 2) table, associates MAC addresses with their respective VLANs and ports. L2 is the only table in IBR and cannot be deactivated. When a packet is received by IBR, IBR automatically records the MAC address of the received packet and the port on which it was received. When an incoming packet arrives at IBR, the correct port and VLAN for delivery of the packet is determined by comparing the MAC address of the packet with the corresponding entry in L2. If the MAC address is not in L2, IBR will send the packet out to all ports except the one on which it was received, and then record the port and VLAN of the device that responds to the packet. When a MAC address in the L2 table has not been used within a preset time (the aging time), that entry is automatically deleted from the table. The default aging time is three hundred (300) seconds; however, aging time is a user-configurable property. Aging time is the only property of L2 that can be changed. L2 can contain up to sixty-four thousand entries so that, with a reasonable aging time, there is little chance of an overflow condition. Using the CLI show command, an operator can display the contents of L2. 5.2 Counters Counters are implemented as two-dimensional arrays that associate traffic data with the corresponding IBR ports (interfaces). Counters are activated by default and cannot be disabled; however, the contents of counters can be reset to zero or displayed by operator command. Counters are identified by the names shown below.

Installing IBR 6.1 Installation Checklist o A pretested and preconfigured IBR. o A mounting bracket that is suitable for the intended location and mounting hardware. o Access to a PoE+ source. o Hand tools and materials as appropriate from the list below:
All Mounts:
Pole mount: Banding strap or hose clamp, maximum strap width of appropriate length for the pole diameter. Wall mount: 8mm or 5/16 diameter bolt appropriate for the mounting surface. Articulating mount:
Torque wrench to tighten all connections to 10 ft-lbs. 2 x 13mm open-ended wrench or sockets for the M8 mounting bolts. 5mm Allen wrench for the socket button-head cap screws to attach the mount to the IBR. Wall / Pole mount:
4.5mm Allen wrench for the M6 socket button-head cap screw that connects the two parts of the mount together. 5mm Allen wrench for the socket button-head cap screws to attach the mount to the IBR. Ethernet connections:
17mm open-ended wrench to tighten the weatherized Ethernet boot. See the section on Ethernet connectors for torque specifications. RJ45 Ethernet termination tools. Ethernet cables. The IBR has an integrated switch and can accept up to 3 individual Ethernet connections, though only one is absolutely required to pass data. Serial connection (required for initial configuration):
USB-to-DB9 converter. Required if the PC used for configuration does not have a DB9 connector. Most PCs dont have a DB9 connector, so this is almost always required. o A safe and suitable means of lifting the equipment and installer at the installation site. (NOTE: The mounting bracket for IBR has holes that can be used to suspend IBR from a utility belt or otherwise as an aid in lifting IBR.) o Shielded Ethernet cable. o A laptop with a USB-to-DB9 serial adapter for communicating with IBR via the serial port or Ethernet. Page 21 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide 6.2 Safety Considerations o Ensure that grounding is in accordance with local codes. o Use lifting methods and/or equipment that are appropriate for the location; e.g., pole climbing equipment, ladder, power lift. o Note the locations of other equipment, power lines, vehicle traffic, and other potential safety hazards at the installation site. 6.3 Mounting IBR IBR must be mounted on a suitable bracket that will hold IBR securely under all environmental conditions. The base of IBR has four mounting posts for mounting bolts set in a square pattern. Operators have the option to use a mounting bracket purchased from Fastback Networks or to create custom mounting solutions. Fastback offers two mounting bracket options, an articulating bracket and a fixed, or non-
articulating, bracket, each of which can be mounted either on a wall or a pole. Guides for installing these brackets are shown below. Appendix A contains additional descriptions and images of the mounting brackets that are available from Fastback Networks. 6.3.1 Mounting Location - Choosing the best possible mounting location for IBR is important for safety, security, and link performance. Install IBR in a location where access is restricted to authorized service personnel. o o For best performance, IBR should be mounted so that it is within + five degrees of level (horizontal plane) and + five degrees of plumb (vertical plane). o Select a location that is near to IBRs required interconnect point and PoE+ source;
o Avoid areas that are subject to vibration, heat, RF emissions, or other such disturbances from nearby equipment;
o Locate and orient IBR as near as possible to obtain line-of-sight to the distant IBR;
o Avoid locations that might present hazards to installation or maintenance crews. 6.3.2 Fastback Networks Articulating Bracket - The articulating bracket has the advantage that it can be rotated in both horizontal and vertical planes, even when affixed to a wall. The diagram below is a guide for assembling the articulating mount and attaching it to IBR. Page 22 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide 6.3.3 Fixed or Non-articulating Bracket The fixed bracket can be rotated in the horizontal plane when mounted to a pole, but cannot be rotated in any direction when mounted on a wall. The following diagrams are a guide for assembling the non-articulating mount and attaching it to IBR.
(1) Attach the IBR plate to IBR as shown below. Screws # 3 should be torqued to a maximum of 10 ft-lbs (138 kgf-cm). Page 23 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide
(2) Attach the pole bracket to the plate on IBR using the hooks as shown in the next two diagrams. NOTE: If IBR will be attached to a wall, the pole bracket should be turned so that the pole side faces IBR and the flat side faces outward. Page 24 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide
(3) Use screws to secure the two plates together as shown below. Screws #4 should be torqued to a maximum of 5 ft-lbs (69 kgf-cm). (NOTE: IBR is shown inverted from the way it should be mounted.)
(4) Materials provided with this mount are shown in the table below. ITEM # QTY 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 1 4 2 4 2 PART #

The power indicator LED will turn green when power is applied. If the PoE+ source is also connected to an Ethernet source, data will flow through IBRs Ethernet Port 0. If the power indicator LED does not illuminate when the power connection is made, consider the following:
Is the PoE connection secure?
Is the power source receptacle hot?
o o o Are the cables of the proper type (CAT5E or CAT6)?
o Are the cables in good working order? (Cables should be certified.) o o Is the power brick good?
Is the IBR working properly?
The RJ-45 Ethernet connectors on IBR will mate with the GT225360-00 connector from GT Contact Co. LTD. An exploded view of the connector is shown below. The connector will work with CAT5E and CAT6 cables and other cables having an outer diameter between 5.0 and 6.0 mm. NOTE: Use only weatherproof, shielded cable. To assemble the connector:
o Strip the cable jacket 12.0 mm. o Thread the cable through the connector components in the order shown. o o Assemble the connector, tightening the gland nut to within 9.0 10.0 kgf-cm2. Insert the cable strands into the RJ-45 plug until tight. Three (3) Ethernet connectors ship with each IBR. Additional connectors may be obtained from Fastback or directly from the manufacturer:
Model: GT225360-00 Supplier: GT Contact Co. LTD. 6.5 Connecting The Serial Port (Optional) A local operator can communicate with IBR by connecting a suitable device to the four-pin serial console connector on back of IBR. (See the section titled Serial Console.) A local operator can configure IBR by connecting the Fastback-supplied serial cable to a PC with a DB-9 RS-232 connection. If such a connection is not available, a USB-to-serial converter may be used. NOTE: When the serial port is not in use, a weatherproof protective cover should be installed over the serial connector on IBR. Page 26 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide 6.6 Establishing A Link Except in the most severe cases of in-band interference, a pair of IBRs will automatically select the best combination of channel frequencies and bandwidth for a link.
(a) Wait for radios to finish booting and establishing a link.
(b) Use the CLI command shown below to verify that a link has been established. IBR58 (config) # show interfaces radio 0 status If a link is not automatically established within ten minutes , then consider the following troubleshooting suggestions:
o Check to ensure that the other IBR on the link is operational. o Change the direction in which the IBR is pointed. o Change the IBRs elevation. o Determine if the link is too long for the environment. 6.7 IAS - Link Interference Analysis IAS is a tool that IBR uses to analyze interference levels in receive channels and to select a combination of channels and bandwidths that maximize throughput while minimizing the effects of interference. The operator can display IAS data by executing the following command. IBR58 # show interface radio 0 ias This command will return a table of data that shows the interference level in each receive channel as received by each internal IBR antenna.

o CLI: SSH, Telnet, Serial Console o SNMP 7.2 Software Management o Software upgrades to IBR can be made by an operator. o Boot loader recovery can be accomplished by an operator via CLI. o IBR has the ability to recover on its own from a failed software upgrade. 7.3 SNMP IBR supports SNMP9 agents using protocols v1 and v2c. 9 Simple Network Management Protocol Page 27 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide The SNMP agent will support MIB-II (RFC 1213), IF-MIB10(RFC 2863), and a Fastback enterprise MIB. Detailed information for configuring SNMP is contained in the CLI Guide. IBR sends traps supported by Fastback MIB, DISMAN-EVENT-MIB, and NET-SNMP-MIB. SNMP polling for traps takes up to sixty (60) seconds. 7.4 Switching & Transport IBR supports 802.1Q (VLAN). 7.5 Data Handling IBC supports the following OSI11 Layer 2 standards:
o o o IEEE 802.3ab (Gigabit Ethernet);
IEEE 802.3as (frame expansion);
IEEE 802.1Q (VLANs). In addition, IBR supports port mirroring to monitor port traffic. 7.6 Carrier Ethernet IBR conforms to the following MEF12 specifications:
MEF 9 Abstract Test Suite for Ethernet Services at the UNI o o MEF 14 Abstract Test Suite for Traffic Management Phase 1 o MEF 19 Abstract Test Suite for UNI Type 1 7.7 Timing & Synchronization IBRs system clock starts when IBR is powered up and maintains time and date based on Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The system clock can be set over the network via NTP. Detailed instructions for configuring IBR timing and for displaying system time and date are contained in the CLI Guide. 7.8 Network Time Protocol (NTP) NTP runs over User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which runs over IP. It is very efficient and typically requires no more than one NTP packet per minute to synchronize IBRs system clock to within one millisecond of the NTP servers clock. When IBR is configured to receive NTP packets from another network device, the relationship between IBR and that device is called an association and it is a server relationship, meaning that IBR will synchronize to the other device (the server) and the other device will not synchronize to IBR. By default, NTP is disabled on IBR, no NTP associations are defined, and the NTP daemon is not running. Procedures for enabling and configuring NTP are contained in the CLI Guide. When IBR is running NTP, IBR can be associated with more than one NTP server. Normally, IBR will synchronize to the associated NTP server that has the lowest stratum number; that is the lowest number of hops between the server and its clock source. A stratum 1 time server has a radio or atomic clock directly attached, a stratum 2 time server receives its time through NTP from a stratum 1 time server, etc. 10 MIB refers to Management Information Base, of which there are several versions 11 Open Systems Interconnection 12 Metro Ethernet Forum Page 28 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide IBR will avoid synchronizing to a server whose time might not have been synchronized or to one whose time is significantly different than the time from other associated servers, even if its stratum is lower. When NTP is enabled on IBR, NTP time will take precedence over time provided by any other source or method. 7.9 System Message Logging IBR sends the output of system messages and certain Privileged commands to a logging process that can be configured to distribute such messages to a logging file, remote syslog server, or operators console. Detailed instructions for configuring message logging are contained in the CLI Guide. 7.10 Quality of Service (QoS) & Class of Service (CoS) IBR supports QoS packet prioritization in compliance with IEEE 802.p. By default, QoS is disabled and must be configured and enabled by an operator using the commands and procedures described in this section. IBRs CLI has commands that allow an operator to create and configure Traffic Classes and Traffic Policies that are associated with specified IBR interfaces. The CLI Guide contains detailed information for configuring QoS/CoS features. 7.11 Security Security features of IBR include:
o AES encryption on over-the-air links;
o Access control lists;
o Multicast and broadcast storm control;
o Port protection and blocking 7.12 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Abatement IBR is compliant with and certified to the applicable portions of the FCC Part 15 class B
(EMI). Return to Table of Contents Page 29 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide Appendix A IBR Mounting Brackets A 1. Wall/Pole Mounting Bracket Fastback Networks wall/pole mounting bracket assembly can be used to mount IBR on poles, on the sides of buildings, or in other outdoor locations. The first illustration below shows a fully assembled bracket with pole straps attached to IBR, and the second illustration shows IBR mounted on a mast using the same bracket. 1.1. Ordering Information The Wall/Pole Mounting Bracket Assembly consists of the following components:
o IBR mounting plate o Four M8x12 bolts for attaching IBR to mounting plate o Wall/Pole mounting plate o Two M6x10 bolts for attaching the two plates to one another 1.2. IBR Mounting Plate The plate shown below attaches directly to the mounting lugs on IBR. This plate should be firmly mounted to IBR before IBR is raised to its mounting location. Four bolts, size M8 x12, with lock washers are required to mount this bracket to IBR. The raised edges on the top side of the plate mate with the heat sinks on IBR. The plate attaches to the wall/pole plate via hooks on one side and two bolts, size M6x10, with lock washers on the other side. Page 30 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide 1.3. Wall/Pole Plate The plate shown below attaches to the IBR mounting plate for mounting IBR on a pole or mast that is between one and six inches in diameter, or on a wall or other structure. When IBR will be mounted on a wall, the flat side of this plate will be against the wall. When IBR will be mounted on a mast, the flat side of this plate will be against the IBR mounting plate. 1.4. How The Plates Attach To One Another The illustrations below show how two plates attach to one another in a pole mount configuration. Page 31 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide 1.5. Pole mounting straps Mounting IBR on a pole or mast simply requires attaching pole bands to the bracket as shown below. Be careful to not damage the bracket when tightening the bands. Pole straps can be attached either to the ends of the plate or to the flanges in the center of the plate as appropriate for the diameter of the mast to which it is being attached. Pole bands are not included. The bracket will accept steel bands up to wide. 1.6. Mounting Instructions When the mounting plate has been affixed to IBR and the wall/pole plate has been mounted in its permanent location, the last step is to hang the IBR onto the mounting plate by first inserting the tabs on the top of the IBR mounting plate into the slots at the top of the wall/pole plate shown by the red arrows in the figure below. Finally, mate the two plates together and secure using two M6x10 bolts shown by the white arrows in the figure below. Page 32 of 34 Doc # 770-00001-6 Nov. 22, 2013 IBR Installation Guide The installer can attach a rope or hook to one of the holes on the side of the mounting bracket in order to hang IBR on a utility belt until it is time to attach it to the bracket. To aid in hanging IBR, the plate on IBR can be hooked onto the mating wall/pole plate while the two M6x10 mounting bolts are being tightened. An Allen wrench is needed to tighten the bolts. A 2. Articulating Mount Fastback Networks offers an articulating mount that be mounted on walls or masts and which can be adjusted up to + 45 degrees in elevation and azimuth in 15 degree increments. Like the Wall/Pole Mount, the Articulating Mount has a plate that attaches to IBR and a part that attaches to the wall or mast. An articulating knuckle provides the freedom of movement. The images below show the Articulating Mount and its components from several angles. The images below show the Articulating Mount attached to IBR.

IBR combines a Carrier Ethernet switch and an AnyLOS radio which can operate simultaneously in non, near, and clear line of sight radio conditions. It is designed for small cell deployment in dense urban environments where line of sight between radios is difficult or impossible to achieve. IBR is small, passivelycooled, and environmentally protected for use mainly in macrocellular backhaul, commercial services fiber fillin, and small cell backhaul applications. It can be mounted on masts, poles, walls, cell towers, or in other such locations and requires little or no alignment when the radios are pointed in the general direction of one another. IBR Models Transmit & Receive Frequencies Two models of IBR transmit and receive in different bands and operate as a pair to form the two ends of a link. IBR may be accessed remotely over the network from telnet or SSH. The default IP addresses are:
The default host names are IBR101 and IBR102 respectively and the subnet mask is /16 or 255.255.0.0. They are referred to as IBR101 and IBR102 throughout this document, and have the following characteristics:
192.168.128.101 for the radio that transmits in the 5.8 GHz band (IBR101); and 192.168.128.102 for the radio that transmits in the 5.3 GHz band (IBR102). IBR101 IBR102 1.3 Radio Features IBR uses adaptive rate modulation, proprietary interference avoidance and cancellation techniques, AES encryption, and antenna array signal processing to deliver reliable and secure high speed data transmission over links where lineofsight between radios is difficult or impossible to achieve. The table below shows IBR performance in a typical installation. Data Rate Scalable to 500 Mbps
< 500 sec Average Latency Operating Range Up to 500m NLOS2 and 2Km LOS3 EIRP
< 30 dBm Switch Features IBR provides the following Carrier Ethernet 2.0 features:
Layer 2 transport VLAN (up to 4096) Bridge mode (pass through) Management Center Transmit Frequency (MHz) IBR Performance1 1.4 BW (MHz) 1 Performance might vary depending on environmental conditions 2 Non-line-of-sight 3 Line-of-sight Page5of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide CLI Telnet SSH Serial console SNMPv2 MIB InterfaceMIB MIB II Enterprise MIB Packetbased timing 1588v2 transparent clock w/submicrosecond latency QinQ (IEEE 802.1ad) QoS Eight queues 802.1p classification Strict scheduling Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR) Scheduling PIR shaping 256 bit AES encryption Physical link and network layer redundancy for maximum service uptime Service protection and reliability 1.5 Deployment Options IBR is designed to be deployed in pairs creating a pointtopoint link, as illustrated in the diagram below. In referring to the two radios, IBR nearest to the fiber connection is called the aggregation IBR and the one nearest to the cell site is the remote IBR. IBR can be connected to an edge switch. IBRs can be connected to one another in a multihop configuration. IBR can provide backhaul for a direct connection to a small cell site. 1.6 Physical & Environmental Features IBR:
Is passively cooled and can operate continuously at full power and duty cycle under maximum solar load at ambient temperatures from 40 C to +60 C. Can be stored safely at temperatures in the range from 55 C to +85 C. Has an IP664 environmental rating. Weighs approximately 5 kg with and has the approximate dimensions shown in the illustration below. 4 Ingress Protection Rating Page6of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide Return to Table of Contents 2. 2.1 Physical Inspection Getting Started Prior to opening the shipping crate, inspect it visually for evidence that it has been opened or mishandled. After opening the crate, carefully inspect the contents for completeness or evidence of damage or tampering. In the event the shipping crate is damaged or the contents are damaged or incomplete, notify Fastback Networks by telephone, fax, or email. The shipping crate, dividers, and packing materials should be retained for use in the event that equipment must be returned to Fastback Networks. After removing IBR from its packing crate, record the serial number and product number (e.g., 75JP or 57JP), both of which will be needed in case it is necessary to seek assistance from Fastback Networks Customer Support Group. DO NOT OPEN IBR FOR ANY REASON. DOING SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND MIGHT CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD AND/OR CAUSE THE EQUIPMENT TO BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO APPLY POWER TO AN IBR THAT SHOWS SIGNS OF DAMAGE, TAMPERING, OR MISHANDLING. Inventory The following components are required for successful installation of a link:
a. One IBR101 and one IBR102, each of which includes the following:
Three weatherproof RJ45 cableend connectors for CAT5E & CAT6 cables*;
A weatherproof cap for the fourpin serial connector that is attached to IBR when the IBR serial connector is not in use*. Two weatherproof caps for RJ45 connectors that are attached to IBR when the IBR RJ45 connectors are not in use*. A twometer serial cable with a DB9 connector on one end and a fourpin connector on the other end;
Page7of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 2.2 IBRInstallationGuide
*Note: For proper operation of IBR, the weatherproof integrity of all cables and connectors should be maintained and weatherproof caps should be firmly installed on unused connectors at all times. Six crimpon ends for RJ45 connectors & instructions An information sheet for accessing regulatory documents and manuals on line;
A quick reference guide;
A warranty registration card;
b. A mounting bracket for each IBR that is suitable for that radios location. Mounting brackets that are available from Fastback Networks are discussed in the section titled Installing IBR in this Guide. c. A PoE+ injector capable of supplying at least thirtyfive (35) watts. d. A grounding lug as described in the section titled Installing IBR in this Guide. e. Appropriate mounting hardware for the PoE injector. The illustration below identifies external features of IBR. The small cap at the end of the radome (facing upward in the illustration) houses the DFS (dynamic frequency selection) antenna. 2.3 External Features 2.4 Power Requirements The side where the mounting lugs and serial port are located is referred to as the back, since it is the side that will be against a wall or mast when IBR is mounted. The side that has the three Ethernet connectors and two LEDs is referred to as the bottom. Even though the connectors are weatherproof, IBR should be mounted with the connectors facing downward for maximum environmental protection. IBR must be powered via PoE+ through the RJ45 connector that is nearest the LEDs (port 0). Applying PoE+
through any of the other Ethernet connectors will cause no harm, but will not power IBR. IBR requires thirty (30) watts. Based on an estimated loss of five (5) watts in a one hundred meter run of Ethernet cable, the power injector should be capable of delivering at least thirtyfive (35) watts at 60 C. IBR does not have a capability to provide PoE to other devices on the network. Page8of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide 2.5 Technical Assistance In the event there is a problem with IBR or other equipment provided by Fastback Networks ( e.g., it arrives damaged or incomplete, or appears to not work properly), the operator should contact Fastback Networks service center via telephone or email and be prepared to provide:
Product type and serial number Product service history (e.g., when was it received, how long has it been in service, other relevant information) Description of the problem Customer contact information Fastback Networks Customer Service can be reached by any of the following:
Telephone: (408) 4305440 Select service option (2) between 08001700 PT on business days Email: support@fastbacknetworks.com Web: http://support.fastbacknetworks.com IBR has no external or internal keypads, switches, dials, knobs, or other physical controls. Therefore, an operator will require a smart terminal, computer, workstation, or other such device to communicate with IBR using command line interface and accessing IBR via any of the Ethernet ports using Telnet or SSH or via the serial console port. Serial Console IBR has a fourpin connector that provides a serial interface for connection to a local operator terminal. This interface can be used by an operator to communicate with and control the IBR during preconfiguration and troubleshooting or at other times when a local operator needs to communicate with IBR other than over an Ethernet link. The mating cable that is provided with IBR has a DB9 connector on the other end. The illustrations below show the pinouts of the two connectors and the cable wiring scheme. Communicating with IBR Return to Table of Contents 3.1 3. This interface can be used by an operator only to control, configure, and troubleshoot IBR, but not for general network connectivity or data transmission. Pinouts of the fourpin serial connector are shown in the table below. Page9of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide NOTE: If a serial device is disconnected and then reconnected, CLI might be left in a bad command state and not respond to The following settings are recommended when communicating with IBR via the serial interface:
115,200 bps 8 data bits 1 stop bit No parity No flow control 25 lines and 80 columns window size legitimate commands. This condition can be cleared by entering the following sequence: <cr> <cr> <CtrlC>. 3.2 Graphical User Interface (GUI or Web UI) IBRs internal HTTP browserbased GUI provides an easy alternate way to monitor and control IBR. A detailed discussion of the GUI can be found in the CLI Guide. 3.3 Command Line Interface (CLI) When an operator logs onto IBR, CLI will be launched in User Mode (i.e., startup mode), which provides minimal functionality. CLI is supported on the serial interface and via Telnet or SSH connections through the Ethernet interface. CLI uses a mix of IOS syntax. Access to the full functionality mode (i.e., Privileged mode) can be controlled by password. The commands shown below are the only commands available in User mode. IBR102 >
!
enable exit ping telnet traceroute Detailed information can be found in the CLI Guide. 3.4 Access Control FactorySet User Names & Passwords IBR can be configured to require a valid user ID and password for access. Two levels of access can be established: minimum functionality and full functionality. Detailed instructions for controlling access to IBR are contained in the CLI Guide. When CLI is launched and the user name dialog box appears, the user must enter a valid user name and password. Factoryset user names are fbn and admin (either can be used) and the factoryset password Comments Enter Privileged Mode Exit from CLI Send messages to network hosts IP address or host name of a remote system Determine route & transit time to a remote host IPv4 IPv6 User Mode Commands Description Command ip ipv6 Page10of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide IBR102 >
(for both user names) is fastback. The same factoryset password will allow a user to enter the Privileged Mode (see the CLI Guide for detailed information). When a user with privileged access changes either of the passwords for the factoryset user names, both factoryset user accounts will be assigned the new password. After login, CLI will be in the User Mode, which offers a limited set of commands. The CLI command prompt in User Mode is the symbol > followed by a space. When the command prompt is displayed, it will be preceded by the host name if one has been assigned. Throughout this manual and the CLI Guide, the host name IBR102 will be used. With this host name, the User Mode prompt will appear as shown below:
The host name can be changed or omitted by a Privileged user. Antennas The radome on top of IBR houses transmit and receive antennas which face outward through the flat sides of the radome. The direction in which the antennas are pointed can be changed only by changing the orientation of the IBR itself. IBR is not designed to be used with external antennas. 3.5 Gigabit Ethernet Ports & Interfaces IBR includes a 4port Ethernet switch. Three Gigabit Ethernet ports are exposed externally, and one is connected internally to the radio. Beginning with the port nearest the LEDs as seen in the illustration below, the external Gigabit Ethernet ports are numbered 0, 1, and 2 (i.e., ge0, ge1, ge2). IBR The Gigabit Ethernet port that is connected to the radio (not externally available) is identified as Gigabit Ethernet 3 (ge3). Radio parameters are configured through the radio 0 interface, while switching parameters that apply both to the physical Gigabit Ethernet ports and the radio port, such as VLAN, QoS, and CoS, are configured through the Gigabit Ethernet interface. In this Guide and in the CLI Guide, port is used in reference to the physical Ethernet external connections, and interface is used in reference to the virtual interface to which an IP address has been assigned. Ethernet interfaces, including loopback interfaces, can be created, as discussed in the CLI Guide, and each port can be assigned to one or more interfaces. Ethernet interfaces, including loopback interfaces, are associated with VLANs and can be created and configured as discussed in the CLI Guide in the section titled VLANs. Page11of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide 3.6 External Ethernet Connectors IBR has three RJ45 connectors located on the bottom of the unit, as shown in the illustration in the preceding section. Beginning with the port nearest the LEDs, the Gigabit Ethernet ports are numbered 0, 1, and 2 (ge0, ge1, ge2). All three Ethernet connectors can be used for traffic and IBR management data, but only the one nearest the LEDs (ge0) can power IBR via PoE+. The RJ45 connectors will accept shielded and bonded RJ45 type mating connectors with a weatherproof seal. It is essential that only weatherproof connectors be connected to IBR. 3.7 Power Connector Power must be connected to ge0 as shown in the graphic below. Connecting power to ge1 or ge2 will not harm IBR, but will not power it. 3.8 LEDs Two weatherproof LEDs that are mounted adjacent to ge0 provide a visual means for an operator to determine the status of IBR. Both LEDs can be deactivated via the CLI. See the CLI Guide for detailed information. The LEDs can be seen in the IBR image. The LED nearest to the cooling fins is the radio LED and the LED nearest to the radome is the system LED. When the LEDs are active (the default condition):
The upper LED (when the LEDs are on the left from the viewers perspective) is a system indicator and will provide the following information:
Off: System has no power. Amber: Bootloader activated. Green: Fastback Operating System loaded. The lower LED is the radio indicator and will provide the following information:
Off: Radio not initialized. Amber: Radio initialized. Green: Radio initialized and a link established. Return to Table of Contents 4. Preconfiguring IBRs The following procedure is for preconfiguring a pair of IBRs prior to installation. Consult the CLI Guide as necessary for detailed information. 4.1 Power CAUTION:
When power is applied, the radios automatically will begin transmitting within sixty (60) seconds. To avoid the possibility of damaging an IBR by overdriving the front end of the receiver, prior to Page12of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 Command Description IBRInstallationGuide Privileged Mode Commands connecting a power source, position the two IBRs so that they are tilted away from each other, facing downward, and separated by at least one meter. IBR does not have a power on/off switch, either in hardware or software. When power is applied to the unit, IBR will be in a power on condition and the system LED beside the ge0 port connector will be illuminated. Apply power to each IBR using a PoE+ source connected to Gigabit Ethernet interface 0. Although PoE+
sources can be applied harmlessly to any port, only ge0 can be used to power IBR. 4.2 CLI Privileged Mode Enter Privileged mode by entering the enable command:
IBR102 > enable The factoryset password for entering Privileged mode is fastback. The Privileged Mode command prompt, with IBR102 as host name will be:
IBR102 #

RSL should be 36dBm or less. If RSL is greater than 36 dBm (e.g., 30dBm) on either IBR, the received signal level is too high and greater separation of the IBRs is recommended to avoid receiver saturation. 4.4 Management Traffic IBR interfaces should be configured in such a way as to separate internal management traffic from user data traffic (i.e., prevent management traffic from being sent over the network). The following sequence of IBR102 # show interface radio 0 status ip ipv6

Following the first three interfaces in the output, there will be an additional interface for each VLAN. The name of an interface will be eth0.nn where nn is the VLAN number to which the IP address is assigned. Note that even though the interface is shown as eth0, the IP address can be reached only through interfaces to which that VLAN has been assigned. Review the new configuration. The configuration created in this section creates three distinct interfaces for use on IBR. a. eth0.1 is the management interface on VLAN1 (the default VLAN on IBR). VLAN1 has been assigned to GigabitEthernet port ge0 and given the IP address 192.168.128.101/16. This interface is isolated from the other interfaces and can be used to access the IBR and manage the switch without allowing management traffic to traverse the RF link. Because VLAN1 is associated only with ge0 and not ge3, VLAN1 traffic will not transverse the link. b. eth0.2 is the data interface on VLAN 2, which has been assigned to GigabitEthernet ports ge1, ge2, and ge3. Traffic on VLAN2 can be sent across the RF link and out onto the network. It allows all untagged traffic and traffic tagged with VLAN ID 2 to be sent to the network. Page15of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide 4.4.8 4.5 Host Name 4.6 User Names & Passwords GigabitEthernet ports 1 and 2 are physical ports allowing connections to the provider network. GigabitEthernet 3 is dedicated to the IBR RF link and creates a wireless bridge between two network segments. c. eth0.823 is an isolated debug interface on VLAN 823. VLAN823 will allow traffic only to be sent from one IBR to the other across the wireless link and requires that the sender be logged onto one of the IBRs. One use of this interface is to allow a user to send ping packets to the opposite IBR to verify link integrity. This VLAN has no exposure to a physical network interface so traffic on this VLAN is isolated from the network. Another important use of this configuration is to manage the link partner from the local IBR. Save the New Configuration. Use the following commands to save the new settings to the startup configuration file. IBR102 # copy runningconfig startupconfig Change the host name (optional) using the following command in Global Config mode. IBR102 (config) # hostname [newname]
IBR can be configured to require valid user names and passwords for access to CLI User Mode, CLI Privileged Mode, and the GUI. Each user name and password will be independent of the others. Passwords are stored permanently in IBR and are not part of the startupconfig or runningconfig files. Passwords will be displayed in encrypted form in the show runningconfig output. Passwords are strings of at least six and not more than sixteen characters and can include any letter, any numeral, and any of the following symbols: ! @ $ %
CLI User Mode IBR can be configured to recognize individual user names, each with its own password. The command to configure User Mode user names and passwords is:
If the password of an existing user is being changed, user_id will be the user name (or ID) of the existing user and newpassword will be the newly assigned password. If a new user is being created, user_id will be the new user name and newpassword the assigned password for that user. The command to remove an existing user name is:
IBR102 (config) # no username [user_id]
where user_id is the name of the user that is being removed. The factoryset user name is fbn and the password is fastback. The factoryset user name (fbn) cannot be changed or deleted, but the password for fbn can be changed using either of the following commands:
IBR102 (config) # username fbn password [newpassword] or IBR102 (config) # enable password level 1 [newpassword]
where newpassword is the newly assigned password. IBR102 (config) # username [user_id] password [newpassword]
4.6.1 Page16of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 Command Description IBRInstallationGuide Setting Passwords 4.6.2 CLI Privileged Mode Privileged Mode can be entered only from User Mode and can be protected with a single password for all users. The requirement to use a password to enter Privileged Mode can be enabled or disabled from the Privileged Mode as follows:
IBR102 (config) # enable password {level (115)} [newpassword]
where level must either be the number 1 or the number 15 and newpassword is the newly assigned password. When level = 1, the password for the user named fbn will be changed. When level = 15, the password to enter Privileged Mode will be affected. When no level option is entered, Privileged Mode will be affected. The requirement for a user to enter a password to move from User Mode to Privileged Mode can be disabled using the following command; however, this is not a recommended configuration because it can create security problems:
IBR102 (config) # no enable password The following are examples of commands for creating, changing, or disabling passwords. IBR102 (config) #
enable password level 1 fastbackuser Set PW as fastbackuser for the user named fbn enable password level 15 fastb@ckuser Set the PW for all users to enter Privilege Mode as fastb@ckuser Set the PW for all users to enter Privilege Mode as fast$$$user enable password fast$$$user no enable password level 1 Remove the requirement for fbn to use a PW to enter User Mode no enable password level 15 Remove the requirement for all users to use a PW to enter Privileged Mode Remove the requirement for all users to use a PW to enter Privileged Mode 4.6.3 Web Graphical User Interface (GUI) User names and passwords for the GUI are managed independently from CLI user names and passwords. For additional information, see the GUI section of the CLI Guide. 4.7 Password Recovery & Reinstating IBR Default Settings In the event that users cannot gain access to IBR because passwords have been forgotten, the following procedure can be used to reset all IBR settings to their default values, thereby allowing a user to regain access to IBR. This procedure will boot IBR into a Linux root shell singleuser mode where the user can change the Privileged Mode password. Initiate a system reboot and, within two (2) seconds, press Ctrl C to interrupt the reboot process. Enter the following command when the uMON> prompt is displayed5:
uMON> run flash linuxsingle The system will take several minutes to reboot. When the Linux prompt is displayed, enter the command password root and then respond to the succeeding prompts to change the Privileged Mode password and reboot the system by entering the command reboot. When IBR reboots to CLI User Mode, use the default user name and password to log onto the system. Use the new Privilege Mode password to enter Privilege Mode. Then follow the standard procedure to change the User Mode user name and password. System Clock The command to set the IBR system clock is executed in Global Config mode and has the following form. Note: To interrupt an ongoing reboot, interrupt power to IBR. no enable password 4.8 5 This works only with a serial console connection.

Page18of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide IBR automatically records the MAC address of a received packet, the port on which it was received, and whether the packet has a VLAN designation. When an incoming packet arrives at IBR, the correct port and VLAN for delivery of the packet is determined by comparing the MAC address of the packet with the corresponding entry in L2. If the MAC address is not in the L2 table, IBR will send the packet out to all ports except the one on which it was received, and then record the port and VLAN of the device that responds to the packet. When a MAC address in the L2 table has not been used within a preset time (the aging time), the MAC address entry is automatically deleted from the table. The default aging time is three hundred (300) seconds. Aging time is the only property of the L2 table functionality that can be changed. The L2 table can contain up to sixtyfour thousand entries so that, with a reasonable aging time, there is little chance of an overflow condition. Using the CLI show command, an operator can display the contents of the L2 table. 5.2 Counters Counters are implemented as twodimensional arrays that associate traffic metrics with the corresponding IBR ports (interfaces). Counters are activated by default and cannot be disabled; however, the contents of counters can be reset to zero or displayed by operator command. The counters in IBR are listed below organized the way they would be displayed using the show command.

IBR should be grounded using the ground lug connector on the back of IBR with a lug such as Panduit TwoHole Standard Barrel Copper Lug, Panduit part #LCD614AL (shown below). Note that since the grounding lug mounts between the fins, any lug greater than 0.48 inches in width will not fit. Use overhead work methods and/or equipment that are appropriate for the location; e.g., climbing equipment, ladder, man lift, etc. Note the locations of other equipment, power lines, vehicle traffic, and other potential safety hazards at the installation site. Installation Checklist A pretested and preconfigured IBR. Note: A link will require one each of a 5.5 GHz IBR and a 5.7 GHz IBR. IBR mounting brackets. A PoE+ source capable of supplying at least thirtyfive (35) watts total on two pairs (pins 4&5 and 7&8) or on all four pairs. A surge suppressor that has been validated to function properly with IBR, such as Transector Model T 419899. Materials for grounding IBR:
Grounding IBR requires terminating the twohole ground lug, which will accommodate two each 12 24x1/2 or M6 ground taps. The IBR chassis has two pretapped holes for this lug. Page20of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 6. 6.1 6.2 IBRInstallationGuide Ground terminations should be coated with a nooxide compound such as a dielectric grease to protect the ground connections against oxidation. Ground should be terminated with #6 AWG solid ground wire to a local Telco grounding bus. The surge suppressor should be grounded in accordance with its manufacturers specifications. Hand tools and materials as appropriate for the mounting locations that will be used:
Pole mount: Banding strap or hose clamp, maximum strap width of appropriate length for the pole diameter. Note: When mounted on a pole, FBNs articulating mount requires that the pole have a minimum diameter of two inches (5.08 cm). Wall mount: 8mm or 5/16 diameter bolt appropriate for the mounting surface. Torque wrench to tighten all connections to 10 ftlbs (138 kgfcm). 2 x 13mm openended wrench or sockets for the M8 mounting bolts. 5mm Allen wrench for the socket buttonhead cap screws to attach the mount to the IBR. Ethernet connections:
17mm openended wrench to tighten the weatherized Ethernet boot. See the section on Ethernet connectors for torque specifications. RJ45 Ethernet termination tools. Ethernet cables. The IBR has an integrated switch and can accept up to 3 individual Ethernet connections, though only one is absolutely required to pass data. Serial connection (required for initial configuration). USBtoDB9 converter. Required if the PC used for configuration does not have a DB9 connector. Most PCs dont have a DB9 connector, so this usually will be required. A safe and suitable means of lifting the equipment and installer at the installation site. (NOTE: The mounting bracket for IBR has holes that can be used to suspend IBR from a utility belt or otherwise as an aid in lifting IBR.) Shielded Ethernet cable. A laptop for configuring IBR. IBR Mounting Bracket IBR must be mounted on a suitable bracket that will hold IBR securely under all environmental conditions. The base of IBR has four mounting posts for mounting bolts set in a square pattern. Operators have the option to use a mounting bracket purchased from Fastback Networks or to create custom mounting solutions. Fastback offers a bracket that can be mounted either on a wall or a pole having a minimum diameter of two inches (5.08 cm). Instructions for installing this bracket are shown below. 6.3.1 Mounting Location Choosing the best possible mounting location for IBR is important for safety, security, and link performance. Install IBR in a location where access is restricted to authorized service personnel. Select a location that is within one hundred meters of a PoE+ source. Avoid locations that might present hazards to installation or maintenance crews. 6.3 Page21of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide 6.3.2 Fastback Networks Articulating Bracket Fastback Networks offers an articulating mount that can be mounted on walls or masts and adjusted up to + 45 degrees in elevation and azimuth in 15 degree increments. The Articulating Mount has a plate that attaches to IBR and a part that attaches to the wall or mast. An articulating knuckle provides freedom of movement for positioning and pointing IBR. The diagram below is a guide for assembling the articulating mount and attaching it to IBR. 6.4 Power & Ethernet Connections When IBR has been securely mounted, connect a PoE+ source to port ge0. Include a secured drip loop for all Ethernet connections to IBR. The loop will provide some strain relief to the RJ45 connection and prevent water from flowing along the cable to the connector. The power indicator LED will turn green when power is applied. If the PoE+ source is also connected to an Ethernet source, data will flow through IBRs Ethernet port ge0. If the power indicator LED does not illuminate when the power connection is made, consider the following:
Is the RJ45 connector securely inserted into both the PoE+ source and IBR?
Is power applied to the PoE+ source? Check the indicator lights on the PoE+ source if available. Are the cables of the proper type (CAT5E or CAT6)?
Are the cables in good working order? (Cables should be certified using a Byte Brothers, Fluke, or similar certifier.) Fabricating an Ethernet Cable The RJ45 Ethernet connectors on IBR will mate with the GT22536000 connector from GT Contact Co. LTD. An exploded view of the connector is shown below. Page22of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 6.5 IBRInstallationGuide The connector will work with CAT5E and CAT6 cables and other cables having an outer diameter between 5.0 and 6.0 mm. NOTE: Use only weatherproof, shielded cable. To install the GT22536000 connector and RF45 plug on a shielded cable:
Strip the cable jacket 12.0 mm. Thread the cable through the connector components in the order shown in the diagram above. Install the RJ45 plug. Untwist the individual strands. Insert the cables into the RJ45 plug in the order shown below. 1. White/orange 5. White/blue 2. Orange 6. Green 3. White/green 7. White/brown 4. Blue 8. Brown Wrap the ground wire around the cable jacket underneath the back of the RJ45 plug. Crimp the plug using a crimping tool. Assemble the GT22536000 connector, tightening the gland nut to within 0.6 0.7 ftlb (9.0 10.0 kgf cm). Connectors may be obtained from Fastback or directly from the manufacturer:
Model: GT22536000 Supplier: GT Contact Co. LTD. The images below illustrate assembly of the RF45 plug. 1. 3. 2. 4. 5. Page23of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 6.6 IBRInstallationGuide Surge Suppressor Installation Install a surge suppressor between the PoE+ injector and IBR as near as possible to the PoE+ injector. The surge suppressor should be installed ahead of the cable ingress to the enclosure or structure housing the switch in order to maximize protection to the switch. The surge suppressor should be connected to a true earth ground with materials that meet the manufacturers specifications. NOTE: The total length of cable between the switch and IBR must not exceed one hundred meters (100m). 6.7 Communication with IBR Via the Serial Port, Telnet, or SSH (Optional) A local operator can configure IBR by connecting the Fastbacksupplied serial cable to a PC with a DB9 RS 232 connection. If such a connection is not available, a USBtoserial converter may be used. (See the section titled Serial Console.) The operator may also telnet or SSH to access the CLI. The IBR default IP address is 192.168.128.101 or 192.168.128.102 for IBR100057JP and IBR100075JP, respectively. Connect a PC via Ethernet cable to the PoE+ injector. IBR Port 1 and Port 2 are disabled by default. Only Port 0 is accessible via the connection on the PoE+ supply. Ensure the PC has an IP address in the range of 192.168.128.<0254>. Immediately after configuring the IBR IP address as indicated below, change the IP address on the PC to match the subnet configured on the IBR. Once the operator has access to the CLI, set the same linkID on both ends of the link to ensure the link doesnt accidentally communicate with other Fastback links. Setting an IP address allows remote IBR access. The following are the commands to set the linkid and the IP address:
Command admin
(factoryset password is fastback) enable
(factoryset password is fastback) configure terminal interface radio 0 linkid <your linkid>
interface vlan 1 ip address <IP addr> <Netmask>
ip defaultgateway <GW addr>

NOTE: When the serial port is not in use, a weatherproof protective cover should be installed over the serial connector on IBR. Link Establishment IBR will automatically select the best combination of channel frequencies and bandwidth for a link. Wait for radios to finish booting and establishing a link. Use the CLI command shown below to verify that a link has been established. copy runningconfig startupconfig Prompt Page24of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 6.8 IBRInstallationGuide IBR102 # show interfaces radio 0 status If a link is not automatically established within ten minutes, then consider the following troubleshooting suggestions:
Check to ensure that the partner IBR on the link is operational. Change the direction in which the IBR is pointed. Change the IBRs elevation. Determine if the link is too long for the environment. 6.9 Pointing & Link Optimization IBRs transmit and receive antennas each have a one hundred and twenty degree, 3 dB beam width centered on the ridge at the top of the radome. Therefore, aligning or pointing an IBR, as discussed below, means orienting IBR so that the ridge on the radome is facing the desired direction. LineofSight and Near LineofSight Links. 6.9.1 Horizontal Alignment Orient each IBR so that its radome is pointed toward the other end of the link. Because IBR has a relatively wide (120degree) 3dB beam width, a few degrees of misalignment is not likely to have an effect on link performance. Vertical Alignment Because IBR has only a fifteen degree 3dB beam width in the vertical direction, greater care should be taken in setting the elevation angle so that each IBR is pointing as nearly as possible toward the other end of the link. 6.9.2 NonLineofSight Links. Horizontal Alignment The process for finding the optimum position for each end of the link depends on whether it is possible to establish a link by aiming the IBRs at each other, and if there is the possibility of reflection from a building. The following is a suggested procedure to use if the IBRs do not synchronize after being aimed towards each other and it is possible to benefit from reflection off a building:
Start with each IBR in a bestguess orientation toward the other end of the link. Keeping the near IBRs position fixed, rotate the distant IBR hundred and twenty degrees in azimuth., and allow one minute for the link to synchronize. Rotate the distant IBR another one hundred and twenty degrees, and allow another minute for the link to synchronize. Repeat the process a third time. Rotate the distant IBR another one hundred and twenty degrees. At this point, it will be in its original position. Rotate the near IBR one hundred and twenty degrees. Now repeat the steps in (a) above, rotating the distant IBR through three hundred and sixty degrees in one hundred and twenty degree increments. When using steps of one hundred and twenty degrees as indicated above, there will be a total of nine possible combinations of positions for the two IBRs. If the radios are rotated only ninety degrees each step, there will be a total of sixteen combinations, however, the resulting alignment might be more optimal. In a situation where the IBRs synchronize when pointed toward each other, and it is not possible to get a reflection off a building, a more empirical approach might produce a faster result. When a link has been established, rotate one IBR ninety degrees. If the SNR improves, rotate it another ninety degrees, and continue in this way until SNR begins to fall, then move back to the previous position. If SNR does not improve, return the IBR to its original position. Repeat at the other end of the link. If a link cannot be established, try all sixteen aiming combinations, spending one minute at each combination to give the link time to synchronize. Do this by locking the near end at 0 degrees azimuth, and then aiming the far end of the link at 0, 90, 180, and 360 degrees, spending sixty seconds at each position. Next, move the near end to 90 degrees and repeat at 0, 90, 180, and 360 degrees at the far end. Continue until a link has been established or all sixteen combinations have been tried.

IBRInstallationGuide Return to Table of Contents Features & Functionality 6.10 Path Prediction Tools Path Prediction Tools are useful for nonlineofsite, nearlineofsite, and lineofsite links. Fastback does not recommend one path prediction tool over another; however, Fastback is committed to working with vendors of path prediction products to maximize the accuracy of predicted paths for IBR. Fastback has worked with the following vendors to maximize accuracy:
Siradel InfoVista Ellipse CTS Pathloss 7.1 AnyLOS Technology Fastbacks proprietary AnyLOS technology enables operators to use IBR in difficult RF environments without worrying about RF tuning. IBR will automatically adjust the following parameters to maximize throughput:
Channel bandwidth either 10, 19, or 38MHz. Center frequency. Antenna combination IBR has eight (8) internal antennas and will automatically select the best four for the link being established. Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) MCS can be any value from 110. Transmitter output power IBR will adjust the transmitter output power automatically to avoid exceeding emissions requirements. IBR takes output power into account when estimating the bandwidth available on any given frequency. The frequency vs. output power relationship is shown in the CLI Guide. The operator cannot manually configure these radio parameters, but can view the settings using CLI, SNMP, or the GUI as follows:
CLI command: IBR102 # show interfaces radio 0 status GUI: Monitor, Radio, Status SNMP: FBNRADIOMIB 7.2 Communication Protocols IBR can be managed by an operator using:
CLI: SSH, Telnet, Serial Console SNMP 7.3 Software Management Software upgrades to IBR can be made by an operator. Boot loader recovery can be accomplished by an operator via CLI. IBR has the ability to recover on its own from a failed software upgrade. Addon licenses to increase the available throughput of IBR can be downloaded using the GUI. For additional information, see the CLI Guide. SNMP IBR supports SNMP6 agents using protocols v1 and v2c. 7.4 6 Simple Network Management Protocol Page26of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide 7.7 Carrier Ethernet 7.8 Timing & Synchronization IBR supports SNMP get statements for SNMPv2MIB, IFMIB, and FBNRADIOMIB. Detailed information for configuring SNMP is contained in the CLI Guide. 7.5 Switching & Transport IBR supports 802.1Q (VLAN). 7.6 Data Handling IBR supports the following OSI7 Layer 2 standards:
IEEE 802.3ab (Gigabit Ethernet);
IEEE 802.3as (frame expansion);
IEEE 802.1Q (VLANs). In addition, IBR supports port mirroring to monitor port traffic. IBR conforms to the following MEF8 specifications:
MEF 9 Abstract Test Suite for Ethernet Services at the UNI MEF 14 Abstract Test Suite for Traffic Management Phase 1 MEF 19 Abstract Test Suite for UNI Type 1 IBRs system clock starts when IBR is powered up and maintains time and date based on Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The system clock can be set over the network via NTP. Detailed instructions for configuring IBR timing and for displaying system time and date are contained in the CLI Guide. NTP runs over User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which runs over IP. It is very efficient and typically requires no more than one NTP packet per minute to synchronize IBRs system clock to within one millisecond of the NTP servers clock. When IBR is configured to receive NTP packets from another network device, the relationship between IBR and that device is called an association and it is a server relationship, meaning that IBR will synchronize to the other device (the server) and the other device will not synchronize to IBR. By default, NTP is disabled on IBR, no NTP associations are defined, and the NTP daemon is not running. Procedures for enabling and configuring NTP are contained in the CLI Guide. When IBR is running NTP, IBR can be associated with more than one NTP server. Normally, IBR will synchronize to the associated NTP server that has the lowest stratum number; that is the lowest number of hops between the server and its clock source. A stratum 1 time server has a radio or atomic clock directly attached, a stratum 2 time server receives its time through NTP from a stratum 1 time server, etc. IBR will avoid synchronizing to a server whose time might not have been synchronized or to one whose time is significantly different than the time from other associated servers, even if its stratum is lower. When NTP is enabled on IBR, NTP time will take precedence over time provided by any other source or method. 7.9 Network Time Protocol (NTP) 7 Open Systems Interconnection 8 Metro Ethernet Forum Page27of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 8. IBRInstallationGuide Return to Table of Contents Field Test Procedure 7.12 Security 7.10 System Message Logging 7.11 Quality of Service (QoS) & Class of Service (CoS) IBR sends the output of system messages and certain Privileged commands to a logging process that can be configured to distribute such messages to a logging file, remote syslog server, or operators console. Detailed instructions for configuring message logging are contained in the CLI Guide. IBR supports QoS packet prioritization in compliance with IEEE 802.p. By default, QoS is disabled and must be configured and enabled by an operator using the commands and procedures described in this section. IBRs CLI has commands that allow an operator to create and configure Traffic Classes and Traffic Policies that are associated with specified IBR interfaces. The CLI Guide contains detailed information for configuring QoS/CoS features. Security features of IBR include:
AES encryption on overtheair links;
Access control lists;
Multicast and broadcast storm control;
Port protection and blocking The following procedure can be run to test a link after successful installation of IBRs and link establishment, and at other times as necessary. Firmware Upgrade 8.1 If it is necessary to upgrade IBRs firmware, this can be accomplished using CLI or GUI. See the CLI Guide for detailed instructions. 8.2 RFC 2544 Traffic Tests Reboot both IBRs to ensure they are in full automatic mode. Ensure MCS is at 10/10 in both directions. Connect an RFC 2544 tester and run the RFC 2544 test. Note the results, including latency. When the channel bandwidth is set to 38 MHz, the expected outcome is 320 Mbps in both directions with a packet drop rate less than 0.05%. Establish traffic in both directions at 80% capacity and run continuously for seven (7) days. The expected outcome is that there will be no reboots and total frame losses will be less than 5.0E4. Configure an Ethernet tester for two streams, as follows:
8.3 Endurance Test 8.4 Traffic Classification Test Stream 1: CoS=7; BW=50 Mbps Stream 2: CoS=6, BW=300 Mbps Page28of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide Observe that there are a negligible number of drops on Stream 1. The expected outcome is that all higher priority traffic will be served ahead of lower priority traffic.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting Guide NOTE: These procedures have been developed by Fastback Networks to assist a field engineer in troubleshooting an IBR that does not appear to be working properly. These procedures are not intended to replace or supersede a companys standard procedures for operating and troubleshooting network devices. This Troubleshooting Guide is organized by symptoms that an operator might observe that suggest that IBR is not operating properly. If IBR is repeatedly rebooting during the boot process and displaying the following message:
Try the following: Replace the PoE+ injector and try booting the IBR again. It might be that the PoE+ power source is not providing sufficient power to IBR. IBR requires at least 35 watts. Both IBRs on the link appear to be working properly, but cannot establish a link. Turn Transmitters ON Turn both transmitters ON using the following procedure:
a. Check the status of the link with the following CLI command (where IBR101 is shown as the host name):
IBR101 # show interface radio 0 status b. The status report that is displayed should state that IBR is UP and the Transmitter is ON. If the Transmitter is OFF, turn it on with the following CLI commands:
c. IBR101 # configure terminal IBR101 (config)# interfaces radio 0 IBR101 (configrad0)# tx on d. Verify that the transmitter is ON:
IBR101 (configrad0)# do show interface radio 0 status e. If the transmitter still is not ON, reboot the IBR:
IBR101 (configrad0)# do reload f. When the unit is back up repeat the sequence above to turn ON the transmitter. If the transmitter still in not ON, escalate the problem to the next higher support level. Check IBR Compatibility When both transmitters are confirmed to be ON, verify that their respective transmit and receive frequencies mirrored; that is, that the receive frequency of each IBR is the same as the transmit frequency of the other IBR. The following are sample radio status outputs:
5.8 IBR Frequency and Bandwidth:
TX: 5800 MHz RX: 5300 MHz Status: UP, 0d 2h 44m 52s, Transmitter is ON Page30of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 A 1. A 2. 2.1. 2.2. IBRInstallationGuide TX BW: 35 MHz RX BW: 35 MHz 5.3 IBR Frequency and Bandwidth:
TX: 5300 MHz RX: 5800 MHz TX BW: 35 MHz RX BW: 35 MHz The bandwidths do not need to match. NOTES: These values might be changing as long as RRC is running. From the report, confirm that the two IBRs are compatible. In the example above, the link has one IBR that transmits in the 5.8 GHz band receives in the 5.3 GHz band, and one IBR that transmits in the 5.3 GHz band and receives in the 5.8 GHz band. Two identical radios will not communicate with one another. Reset the Link Reset the link with a soft reset. (If practical, do this on both ends of the link.) a. Check the status of the link with the following CLI commands:
IBR101 # show interface radio 0 status If the Status indicates the Transmitter is ON but the Status is DOWN, do the following:
b. IBR101 # configure terminal IBR101 (config) # interfaces radio 0 IBR101 (configrad0) # rrc softreset This will reset the link and radio, forcing a resync. c. After 3 to 5 minutes check the radio status again. IBR101 (configrad0) # exit IBR101 (config) # exit IBR101 # show interface radio 0 status Reboot the IBRs If a SoftReset does not establish a link then save any configuration changes and reboot the IBRs. a. IBR101 # copy runningconfig startupconfig IBR101 # reload b. After 3 to 5 minutes check the radio status again. IBR101 # show interface radio 0 status Check EIRP, RSL, & SNR If the Status indicates the Link Status still is DOWN, check EIRP, RSL, and SNR. Values shown below are samples only: EIRP: (should be > 15 dBm) S0: 27.0 dBm S1: 27.0 dBm RSL: (should be > 84 dBm; remember that these are negative numbers) 2: 69.0 dBm 1: 68.5 dBm 4: 68.5 dBm SNR: (shortterm SNR should be > 3 dB) Shortterm SNR: S0: 27 dB Longterm SNR: S0: 27 dB Total: 30.0 dBm 3: 68.0 dBm S1: 27 dB S1: 27 dB Page31of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 2.3. 2.4. 2.5. IBRInstallationGuide If any of these values is outside the required operating range, it might be necessary to reposition (i.e., rotate, elevate, or move) one or both IBRs, or to swap ends of the link. Reposition IBR It might be necessary to perform one or more of the following procedures for either or both IBRs. Which repositioning strategy should be tried first will be a decision the field engineer will need to make based on observations at the mounting locations. In all cases, be mindful of cable lengths and tiedowns, and power connections. CAUTION: WHEN POWER IS APPLIED TO IBR, IBR AUTOMATICALLY WILL BEGIN TRANSMITTING. DO NOT TRY TO REPOSITION IBR WHEN POWER IS CONNECTED. Rotate IBR IBR can be rotated to point more closely in the direction of the other IBR or toward some object that might provide reflection of the signals. The objective is to improve received signals at both ends of the link. 1) Loosen the mounting bracket. 2) Rotate the IBR to the desired alignment position. 3) Retighten the mounting bracket. 4) Check the radio status to verify signal level improvement. IBR101 # show interface radio 0 status 5) Repeat until the signal level improves and a link is established. Elevate IBR If IBR is mounted on a pole or mast, it might be possible to move it up without removing IBR from its mounting bracket. If IBR is mounted on a wall, it will be necessary to remove IBR from the bracket and move the wallmount portion of the bracket to a higher location. Elevating IBR only a foot or two can make a significant improvement in reception. Change Location Often a more suitable location near the current location can be selected to reduce interference from physical
(nonradiating) objects, and/or from sources of RF radiations (e.g., other radios) that are operating in the area. A new location on the same rooftop or even on the same mounting asset often can improve reception signal levels. Reposition Each IBR to the Other End of the Link Because the two IBRs receive in different frequency bands, swapping ends of the link can improve link performance when one of the radios is operating near another radio that is transmitting near to the IBRs receive band. This is also often the easiest solution since the existing mounts and connections can be utilized and only the IBRs need to be moved. If an IBR pair with a default configuration establishes a wireless link and the connecting Ethernet interfaces are connected to the same layer 2 network, a loop will be formed and a broadcast storm will occur. When this happens, the network interfaces will become inaccessible, and the IBR CLI will become slow to respond. All other devices on the collision domain will be inaccessible.

Link Is Established But Not Passing Traffic By default, all IBR Ethernet ports are assigned natively to VLAN1. To avoid creating a loop, configure a trunk native interface on gigabit Ethernet 3 as shown in the following example:
IBR101 (config) # interface vlan 2 IBR101 (configvlan2) # no shutdown IBR101 (configvlan2) # exit IBR101 (config) # interface gigabitEthernet 3 IBR101 (configifge3)# no switchport trunk native vlan 1 IBR101 (configifge3) # switchport trunk native vlan 2 IBR101 (configifge3) # do copy runningconfig startupconfig It is necessary to perform this setup on only one side of the link, unless there is untagged traffic on the link, in which case it should be performed on both sides of the link. Network loops also can be avoided by creating a separate management interface on each IBR. See the IBR Administration & Command Line Interface Guide for information about creating a management interface. Confirm that a link has been established by (i) pinging the opposite end, (ii) checking the interface counters, and/or (iii) viewing the radio link status using the following command:
IBR101 # show interface radio 0 status If a link has been established, but will not pass traffic, do the following:
a. Confirm that IBR is configured to pass all VLAN traffic, regardless of VLAN, by using the bridge command as shown below. IBR101 (config) # bridge linklocalframes gigabitethernet 1 Do this on both sides of the link using the connected data port on VLAN2 which, in this case, is ge1. b. Check syslog for messages that indicate that the link is going up and down. IBR101 # show logging active NOTE: Use CtrlC to stop the display from continuing to scroll. c. Confirm that MTU is set correctly on both IBRs. IBR101 (config) # mtu 9712 NOTE: When MTU is set to 9712, it will be 9712 between the wired switch ports; however, the over theair MTU is limited to 2599. d. Check history logs for radio conditions prior to the time when the link would not pass traffic. IBR101 # show interface radio 0 history mcs IBR101 # show interface radio 0 history bler If history shows that MCS dropped to 1 and BLER increased before the link stopped passing traffic, the cause might be interference. Follow these steps if IBR cannot be reached via the network. IBR Cannot Be Reached Via the Network Page33of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 Return to Table of Contents A 5. IBRInstallationGuide a. Establish communications with IBR via the serial interface ( See the section on communicating with IBR via CLI). b. Confirm that an Ethernet interface is enabled and connected to the network:
IBR101 # show interfaces If the interface is connected, but not enabled, execute the following commands:
c. IBR101 (config) # interface gigabitethernet 2 where 2 is used as an example (could be 0, 1, or 2). IBR101 (configifge2) # no shutdown IBR101 (configifge2) # exit IBR101 (config) # exit IBR101 # show ip interfaces The following is a sample output. Intheoutputabove:

IBR Is Dropping Frames Page34of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide Payload frames may be dropped by the switch (in IBR) due to a full queue or by the radio due to errors. Frames dropped over the air are measured at the receiver. IBR reports switch and radio drops in switch counters and radio counters respectively that can be viewed using CLI, SNMP and GUI as discussed below. a. Payload dropped by the switch. CLI:
IBR101 # show interfaces counters drops SNMP:
IFMIB ifInDiscards and ifInErrors InErrors show the packets discarded because they fail CRC check. InDiscards shows the packets that were dropped because the output queue was full. b. Payload dropped over the air. Use CLI to show payload packet error rate and counters:
IBR101 # show interfaces radio 0 status IBR101 # show interfaces radio 0 counters Using SNMP, payload packet error can be seen under FBNRADIOMIB ibrRxPktDropRate Using the Web UI, payload packet error rate is shown on the Monitor/Dashboard screen. c. Frames dropped by the switch. The switch will drop frames when the transmit queue fills. There is one transmit queue for each COS level. Transmit queues will fill whenever the offered load exceeds either the IBRimposed throughput limit or the overtheair capacity. The IBRimposed throughput limit might be configured via a policy map. Policy map configurations can be displayed with the following command:
IBR101 # show runningconfig To determine if the offered load is close to the throughput use on of the following:
CLI:
IBR101 # show interfaces radio 0 status Compare Payload to RX MCS S0 + RX MCS S1. Using Web UI, view the Monitor/Radio/Report screen to view:
MCS RX Theoretical & RX Actual Throughput MCS TX Theoretical & TX Actual Throughput Using SNMP, FBNRADIOMIB:
ibrRxTputRate and ibrTxTputRate will show the payload throughput. ibrRxTpS0+ ibrRxTpS1 and ibrTxTpS0+ ibrTxTpS1 will show carrying capacity. Return to Table of Contents Communicating With IBR Via Command Line Interface (CLI) CLI can be used to troubleshoot and configure IBR. The following are the steps for logging onto IBR. If IBR has previously been configured, the field engineer will need to know the valid user name and password to use. a. To communicate with IBR, log onto IBR via one of the following options:
Serial Console w/settings A 7. Page35of40 Doc#7700000113 Sept.21,2014 IBRInstallationGuide IBR login:
o XON/XOFF is disabled o Bitrate = 115200bps o No Parity o 8 bits o 1 stop bit SSH Telnet Successful connection will return the Login prompt shown below. b. Log onto IBR using a valid user ID and password. IBR is shipped with the following default credentials:
either can be used user names: fbn and admin valid for both user names password: fastback Entering a valid user name and password will place the operator in CLI User Mode and the following prompt will be displayed (IBR101 is shown as the default host name):
IBR101 >
c. Enter CLI Privileged mode using the following command:
IBR101 > enable The same password that was used to log onto IBR can be used (e.g., fastback for factory default). The Privileged Mode prompt will be displayed:
