Quanta 5 family is based on the newest InfiNet Wireless proprietary Octopus SDR hardware platform. It operates in frequency range from 4900 MHz to 6000 MHz and supports the wide range of channel width between 3.5 MHz and 40 MHz. Wireless device can be used with:
with an impressive performance of up to 460 Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 8 Quanta 5 a dual polarization integrated antenna with an antenna gain 23 dBi;
an external antenna connected to two N-type ports using low-loss RF cables and operates in LOS and non-LOS conditions. SC-FDE radio technology is used for data transmission. 3.3.1 Radio
. In periodic interference conditions, the performance will stay on the highest Extended set of modulation coding schemes Quanta 5 supports 14 modulation -coding schemes level. Automatic Modulation Control (AMC) modulation control algorithm selects the most appropriate modulation-coding scheme at each polarization and each end of the link in order to maximize the link performance. Hybrid-FDD (split-frequency mode) separate allocation of downlink and uplink channels to utilize the least congested frequency channel at each end of the link. Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) a technology which enables packet re-transmission in case of previous unsuccessful delivery, allows to achieve reliable connectivity even in highly congested spectrum. Instant DFS a set of algorithms operating on top of the mandatory DFS/Radar detection
/LBT, providing background spectrum scanning and zero-downtime channel reselection in case of congestion or radar detection. For uplink and downlink traffic, different frequencies can be selected to achieve optimum performance. Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) a technology which allows to limit the overall power system mode, which takes into account the antenna gain and losses in the RF cable. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 9 Quanta 5 3.3.2 Networking VLAN support is an important tool which is used to isolate and filter traffic flows. STP support allows to avoid network loops. IEEE 1588v2 support provides synchronization between devices via the wired network segment. Stacked VLAN support (Q-in-Q) avoids the limitation in the number of available VLANs
(4096), which can be useful for large networks. In addition, Q-in-Q allows you to organize L2 channels within a limited VLAN list, which is widely used in provider networks and on leased communication channels. Due to QoS support, traffic prioritization is available in accordance with the 802.1p (8 queues), ensures that the most important data arrives with priority. One of the network mechanisms to optimize bandwidth by reducing the share of overhead for service headers are Jumbo frames with size up to 9038 bytes. 3.3.3 Distance Quanta 5 has a link budget of up to 168 dB. This budget allows it to achieve reliable connectivity at up to 40 km in clear line-of-sight conditions, as well as provides sufficient margin for near- and non-LOS deployments at shorter distances. Transmit power at the highest modulations is also one of the key performance metrics, allowing Quanta 5 to achieve the highest performance over long distances and in noisy spectrum. The Quanta 5 transmit power at QAM256 is up to 24 dBm. 3.3.4 Environment Operating temperature range -40 ... +60 . Dust and water protection in compliance with IP66/IP67. Wind load up to 160 kph - operation, 200 kph - survival. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 10 Quanta 5 3.3.5 Power The device has following electrical parameters:

Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 22 Quanta 5 4 Planning considerations During link planning such factors as distance, obstacles and the link margin should be taken into account. We strongly recommend to use the InfiPLANNER tool for link planning. 4.1 InfiPLANNER InfiPLANNER is a link planning tool, which allows to design networks using InfiNet Wireless devices for optimal deployment and cost effectiveness. It performs different scenarios based on geography, distance, antenna height, transmit power, device models and other factors. It outputs an installation report that defines the parameters to be used for configuration, alignment and operation. Use the installation report to compare predicted and actual link performance. InfiPLANNER is available at https://infiplanner.infinetwireless.com
. NOTE You can find more detailed information about InfiPLANNER in the "InfiPLANNER:
Link Planning Tool
" online course. 4.1.1 Range and obstacles Make sure line of sight is provided during planning the antennas placement for a point-to-point link, to achieve maximum range and performance between two antennas. Perform a survey to identify all the obstructions (such as trees or buildings) in the path and to assess the risk of interference. The radio beam is an invisible form of electromagnetic wave propagation and is not as thin as a laser beam, for example. The main energy in a radio beam is concentrated along the straight line between the two antennas, inside an area the shape of an ellipsoid (or a rugby ball). This area is called a 1 Fresnel zone and its exact form and size depends upon the frequency and the signal propagation path length. st st If most of the 1 Fresnel zone is obstructed, a major part of the radio waves electromagnetic energy is lost, which leads to a severe signal quality degradation and as a result to decreased coverage range or performance. Below is an incomplete list of possible obstructions on the signal propagation path:
Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 23 Quanta 5 Neighboring buildings. Trees. Bridges. Power lines. To obtain the best results, it is necessary to perform a precise analysis of the signal propagation path and possible obstructions that may cover the 1 Fresnel zone. st NOTE More detailed information about radio signal propagation is available at "Wireless Networking Fundamentals
" online course. 4.2 Antenna Placement General recommendations for antenna placement:
Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 24 Quanta 5 Try to keep the LOS clear of obstructions. In case of installations over vegetation and forest, make sure the direct LOS stays above the trees; in urban environments - above the tallest buildings along the radio path. The influence of trees can be variable, depending on seasons (ice, dew, leaves). Keep in mind that, during spring and summer, leaves can absorb high levels of radio energy. Therefore, when installing during the cold season, over forests and trees without leaves, try to achieve a higher fade margin. Install antennas as far as possible from other antennas (the recommended distance is at least 2 meters). Reflecting surfaces should be considered (buildings with reflective windows, water surfaces or wet grounds). These can be useful in NLOS situations, if there is no direct clear path between the 2 antennas, so the radio signal needs to be reflected off a surface. However, these can also decrease the signal quality when encountered along a clear LOS link, because of fading caused by multipath. When installing antennas over water, tune the height bracket within 1-3 meters range variation, because it can yield significant signal level variations due to multipath fading. Weather factors such as rain or snow do not usually affect system performance. If seasonal changes influence the signal quality, then the connectors probably are not protected well enough from humidity, or the cables, connectors or antennas are covered by vegetation during summer or ice during winter. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 25 Quanta 5 NOTE Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.

Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 28 Quanta 5 5 Link Pre-configuration in the lab Usually, before going into the field, it is recommended to pre-configure in the lab the InfiNet Wireless units to verify the link establishment. Therefore, let's take the units to be used for this course out of the package and place them on the t able. NOTE A minimum set of requirements must be met during devices pre-configuration in the lab:
Make sure the devices are not directed at each other in order to prevent radio modules damage. A minimum transmit output power must be set. In case of two devices with external antennas, it is recommended to connect them in the link directly, with RF cables and RF attenuators with attenuation of at least 40 dB for each polarization (installation\deinstallation of the RF attenuators and RF cables should only be performed when the devices are switched off). Step 1: Scheme connection assembling The equipment list required for the lab configuration:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Outdoor units - 2 pcs. Power supply - 2 pcs. Power cord - 2 pcs. Ethernet cables - 4 pcs. Laptop with Ethernet port available. We will perform the settings mentioned below for each unit of the link and check if wireless link was established correctly. Use the following instruction to assemble a test scheme:
1. 2. 3. Connect Gigabit Ethernet port at the ODU to the power supply port labeled as "OUT". Connect Ethernet port at the laptop to the power supply port labeled as "IN". Connect the power cord to power supply and plug it to AC mains. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 29 Quanta 5 Step 2: Access to the device Let's access each unit to the default IP address 10.10.10.1 with mask 255.255.255.0 via a web browser. Before, make sure the Ethernet port of the Laptop has an IP address assigned from the same subnetwork as the one for the unit (e.g., set 10.10.10.10 with mask 255.255.255.0). NOTE We assume that each unit used in this setup has not been configured before and runs with the factory settings. Use any letters or numbers for the initial authentication on each unit, for example:

Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 44 Quanta 5 6.4 Grounding and Lightning Protection This section describes factors to be considered when planning the proposed link end sites, including grounding, lightning protection and equipment location for the wireless device, power supply and AUX-ODU-LPU-G unit (if installed). CAUTION Electro-magnetic discharge (lightning) damage is not covered under warranty. The recommendations in this document, when followed correctly, give the user the best protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither implied nor possible. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 45 Quanta 5 6.4.1 Grounding and lightning protection recommendations The wireless device should be placed on the pole at a height that is at least 1 meter below the top of the pole. In this case, there is a significant probability that the lightning strikes the pole and not the wireless device. The pole should be properly grounded:
connected to the building lightning protection circuit according to your local regulations. All equipment must be connected at stabilized and surge protected power sources which must be properly grounded. The end of the FTP service cable that is connected to the power supply should be assembled with a shielded RJ-45 connector. The other end of the FTP service cable
(connected to the wireless device) should be assembled with unshielded (standard) RJ-
45 connector. The power supply is grounded via a three-conductor power cord and a grounded socket. AUX-ODU-LPU-G grounding is performed using grounding bolt. Antenna pole and wireless device should be connected to the common ground ring. Grounding cables should be no less than 10AWG thick and must use corrosion-resistant connectors. Special attention should be paid if the external antenna used is not DC-shorted. In this case, an additional lightning arrestor should be used between the antenna and ODU. 6.4.2 Requirements to the lightning protection unit location AUX-ODU-LPU-G is an optional accessory which may be used to serve as a line protection unit for the ODU and for the indoor network equipment connected to the Ethernet port of the IDU. AUX-ODU-LPU-G should be properly assembled, mounted and grounded. General recommendations for installations of lightning protection units:
Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 46 Quanta 5 Install the lightning protection unit on both ends of the cable to protect both the outdoor and the indoor unit. The purpose of the LPU at the top is to protect the ODU from a surge of lightning strike which can hit the long FTP cable run along the height of the pole or on the roof of the building. The purpose of the LPU at the bottom is to protect the IDU and customer equipment. Use the lightning protection unit to protect all circuits for signal transmission and power supply (video, audio, management signals, Ethernet, etc.) Regularly (especially before the periods with high thunderstorm activity) check the integrity of lightning protection units, grounding elements and bonding conductors. Make sure to install the two LPU devices in the correct polarity, as shown in the diagram:
Top LPU with "ETH OUT" facing the ODU. Bottom LPU with "ETH OUT" facing the IDU. LPU units connected to each other via "ETH IN". Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 47 Quanta 5 Figure - AUX-ODU-LPU-G Assembly Scheme Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 48 Quanta 5 AUX-ODU-LPU-G Mounting AUX-ODU-LPU-G can be installed on a pole, using hose clamps. Attach the grounding cable
(min cross-section 2.5 mm ) to the case, using grounding bolt. 2 Figure - AUX-ODU-LPU-G Mounting During AUX-ODU-LPU-G mounting it is necessary to provide a small loop of the FTP Cat5e cable that should be below the cable gland. These ensure that water is not constantly channeled towards the connectors. It will also serve as a cable compensator for the cable linear expansion as the temperature difference result. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 49 Quanta 5 Figure - Cable loop CAUTION Missing or bad grounding may leave the unit vulnerable to lightning damage.

For rough alignment use the azimuth, elevation angle and suspension height from InfiPLANNER report. On the device case there is a scale indicating the received signal level. The more often indicator flashes, the better quality of the connection. Blinking indicator shows an intermediate state, the more often indicator is blinking, the higher the connection level. For more accurate alignment, use the alignment tool built into the device web interface. After the initial alignment, the device at the remote side must be fixed. Firstly, the alignment is performed for one device, then for another. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 53 Quanta 5 Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 54 Quanta 5 6.5.2 Alignment tool Use the Alignment tool to point and optimize the antenna in the direction of maximum link signal. The built-in graphical antenna alignment tool displays the signal levels for both devices and both polarizations, this makes an alignment process fast and accurate. A green marker indicates the current signal level. To achieve the best performance, this marker should be as close as possible to the gray area values, which displays the maximum calculated value possible for this link. A gray marker indicates the maximum value that was reached on this channel.

SSH (Secure Shell) protocol provides secure remote control to network devices. Its functionality is similar to the Telnet protocol, but, unlike Telnet, SSH encodes all protocol messages, including transmitted passwords. By default, only access via Telnet is enabled. Figure - Access protocols Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 65 Quanta 5 7.4.4 Network access This section is used to create a list of subnets from which access to the device will be allowed. 7.4.5 Radio authentication settings Figure - Network access Units at both ends of the wireless link should authorize each other before link establishment. Access key must be up to 64 characters long, without spaces and must be the same at both ends of the link. 7.5 Radio settings Unit parameters description The "Radio settings" section allows to configure radio parameters to establish wireless connection. Radio settings are divided into the following categories:
7.5.1 Radio frontend Parameter Description Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 66 Quanta 5 Parameter Description Unit role One units must be set to Master and the other one to Slave. Please note that the following settings must be equal for "master" and "slave"
unit to establish the radio link:
Center frequency - there are two ways:
Manually via "Downlink center frequency" and "Uplink center frequency" parameters. In this case wireless link will be setup at once. Automatically with "Automatic selection of center frequency"
function. In this case frequency channel grids must be set on both units. At the initial phase Master unit will select its center frequency automatically from grid, after that Slave unit will scan frequencies from its grid and wireless link will be established when Slave will find the center frequency which Master operates on. Channel width - should be the same and set manually on both units. When a wireless link has been established Slave unit will continuously inherit radio frontend parameters from Master unit excluding frequency channel grids. So, if you change some values on Master they will be set on Slave automatically. Available only on the Slave unit. Enabled - center frequency must be set manually on wich the Slave unit will operate. Disabled - center frequenct will be selected automatically based on frequency channel grids. There are several way to define center frequencies in Quanta 5:
Frequency selection off - center frequency will be set manually. DFS and radar detection - center frequency will be set automatically according to frequency channel grids. In this mode Master unit will switch to the different frequency if high level interference or radar will be detected. Slave unit will switch too after some time. Fixed center frequency Automatic selection of center frequency Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 67 Quanta 5 Parameter Description Independent UL/DL center frequencies Units may transmit on diffrerent center frequencies. Enabled - uplink and downlink frequencies can be set to different values. Disabled - uplink and downlink frequencies will be the same. NOTE Downlink - the direction from Master to Slave, Uplink - the direction from Slave to Master. These directions are correct for the whole link and do not depend on the roles of the devices. Power limit This parameter limits the transmitter power, there are two modes:
Transmitter output power - limits the power of transmitter to the set value. EIRP - limits the total system power calculated as:
Tx Power + Antenna gain + Cable loss Radio frontend settings description Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 68 Quanta 5 7.5.2 Air frame Figure - Radio frontend settings Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 69 Quanta 5 Parameter Description Channel width Frame length Guard interval Uplink
/Downlink ratio Channel width, shoud be the same on both Master and Slave units. Frame period affects the following wireless link metrics:
The greater frame period the more payload will be transmitted in one frame. Greater values increase latency. The lower frame period the less payload will be transmitted in one frame. Lower values decrease latency. Please note that frame period value is strongly depends on interference conditions. If larger frames will be dropped the larger payload is lost and system performance is decreased significantly. If smaller frames will be dropped the smaller payload is lost. Guard interval is intended for intersymbol interference elimination. One of the intersymbol interference reasons is multipath propagation in which a wireless signal from a transmitter reaches the receiver via multiple paths. Guard interval affects payload size. So it should be increased only in case of significant intersymbol interference. Allows to configure quotes for uplink and downlink directions. Available values depend from:
Channel width. Frame period. Air frame settings description Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 70 Quanta 5 Figure - Air frame settings Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 71 Quanta 5 7.5.3 Automatic modulation and transmit power control Parameter Description AMC strategy There are following AMC strategies available:
Normal - represents a balance between the error rate and throughput values. Conservative - assumes using higher CINR thresholds in order to minimize the error rate. Agressive - lowers the thresholds in order to use higher modulation levels and thus increase the throughput. Disabled - disables automatic modulation control. Automatic transmit power control ATPC allows to control transmitter output power automatically based on target RSSI value. If actual RSSI level is lower then unit increases transmitter output power of the remote unit and vice versa. ATPC could not set value that may exceed the "Power limit" value. The Master unit manages the transmit power of Slave unit. The Slave unit manages the transmit power of Master unit. Target RSSI RSSI value which will be used by ATPC as target. AMC and ATPC settings description Figure - AMC and ATPC settings Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 72 Quanta 5 7.5.4 Frequency channel grids The frequency grid allows to limit the scan range in case the center frequency is automatically selected. Also Instant DFS will use these restrictions when monitoring the noise situation. Narrow grid of available frequencies speeds up scanning and link establishing process. Manual center frequency selection will also be limited to the values indicated in the grid. 7.6 Network settings This section allows to assign an IP address or several addresses to the wired interface, the default gateway value can also be specified. Click the "Add IP address" button to add a new address. There are two ways to assign an IP address:
Automatically - the IP address will be obtained automatically from the DHCP server. Manual - the IP address and netmask are specified manually. The VLAN tag value can also be set in this section, the VLAN ID value should be in range from 1 to 4096.

ge0 - Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-T port;
radio - internal radio interface;
mgmt - internal interface for device management. Only ge0 interface is available to configure. The following parameters can be changed:
Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 74 Quanta 5 Status: enabled/disabled. Duplex: duplex mode, "auto" is by default. Description: arbitrary text description. 7.7.2 QoS Enable/disable prioritization strategy. Unit will recognize the 802.1p tags in Ethernet frame headers. Based on these tags priorities will be autlomatically assigned to the frames when they are sent over the radio interface. After transmission over radio interface frames with tags are sent to Ethernet. Priorities may be adjusted manually if a VLAN based switching is enabled. 7.7.3 VLAN based switching VLAN based switching allows to create list of allowed VLANs and their handling on the unit switch plane. If VLAN based switching is enabled but no VLANs are added, device ports will allow untagged traffic only. Each entry of list establishes the relationship between VLAN ID and ports VLAN modes. "VLAN 1" is created by default and could not be deleted, it's enough to set all interfaces to "off" mode to disable it. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 75 Quanta 5 VLAN ID VLAN tag in range from 1 to 4095. May be set in a few ways, examples:
12 10-20 100,200,300 23,24,25,50-100 Description Arbitrary text description. Priority Allows to set the priority of a specific VLAN according to 802.1p ranging from 0 to 7, where 0 - the lowest priority level, 7 - the highest, the QoS support function must be enabled. Port mode VLAN mode should be set for each of network ports. Mode determines the way which VLAN tagged network packets will be handled by switch. There are three ports modes:
Off - denies all traffic of a specified VLAN. If none of the modes is selected, the port will be marked as "Off". Access - operates as access port, allows only untagged traffic. Tagged - operates as trunk port, allows tagged traffic of a specific VLAN to pass through this port Untagged - operates as trunk port, allows untagged traffic of a specific VLAN to pass through this port. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 76 Quanta 5 Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 77 Quanta 5 Connectivity matrix Allows to configure the traffic transfer between the network ports of the device. Configuration is performed visually using switches. The green switch indicates allowed connections, the red one
- denied. Traffic flow between ports is performed in accordance with VLAN modes set, if the VLAN based switching is enabled. 7.8 Spectrum Analyzer In the "Spectrum Analyzer" menu, you can perform a deep analysis of the radio emissions in the environment where the unit is placed. The unit scans the radio spectrum on all available frequencies. In order to obtain the information as accurate as possible, the scanning process may take a while.

Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 80 Quanta 5 7.9 Antenna Alignment Tool The graphical antenna alignment tool allows to visualize the signal characteristics on both sides of the link in order to make the antenna alignment process more accurate and easier. It helps to find the best antenna position via comparing the actual received signal level with the calculated reference value. The accuracy of the antenna alignment at the neighbor device is very important for the link quality. Antenna alignment tool operates online and does not break the wireless connection. Each side of the link (local and remote) has two similar test indicator sets, corresponding to each antenna polarization. This allows controlling the alignment process for each antenna polarization for the local and for the remote device simultaneously. The main idea is to achieve the actual signal level (green square) is closer to the reference value (pale area). Grey square shows maximal achieved value on each channel. 7.10 Maintenance Figure - Antenna alignment tool This section is available in the "Service" tab, is used for firmware updates, operations with licenses and configuration.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. No access to the local unit. No access to the remote unit Expected throughput is not met No data is being transferred Unit management is lost
. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 87 Quanta 5 8.1 1.No access to the local unit Step 1: Local unit check Check the network connectivity between the monitoring server and the local unit. If no connectivity appear, go on site to the local unit location. Check if it is powered on, power indicator has three possible states: red the power is on, yellow 10/100 Mbps wired connection, green 1000 Mbps wired connection. If there is no power supply please check the AC power supply, the Ethernet cables and connector. Check the RF cables state, in case of devices with external antennas are used. Check if the local connection works by using a laptop or ERConsole. If the local connection is allowed, after the authentication step in web interface, check the operational status of the Ethernet port. Enable the port if found disabled, check the connectivity matrix and VLAN settings if used. Reboot the unit at the "Maintenance" section. Step 2: Report the problem to the InfiNet Wireless support team If you are unable to identify the cause of the problem, please contact the InfiNet Wireless support team. It is necessary to provide diagnostic card, antenna alignment test results screenshots, the installation points photos, the installation points coordinates. 8.2 2. No access to the remote unit The section describes how to test the link when there are no radio communication and no access to the remote unit, but there is access to the local unit. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 88 Quanta 5 Step 1: Local unit check Check if the radio parameters values of the local unit correspond to the settings from the radio planning stage:
Unit role. Center frequency. Channel width. Maximum transmit power. Frame length. Guard interval. Link ID. Access key. If some parameters have different values, perform the modifications and check the wireless link establishment after unit reboot. In case the wireless link is still down, go on site to the location of the local unit and check the cables and connectors. Step 2: Remote unit check Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 89 Quanta 5 In case the wireless link is down even if the parameters were set according with the radio planning results, go on site to the location of the remote unit. Check if it is powered on, power indicator has three possible states: red the power is on, yellow 10/100 Mbps wired connection, green 1000 Mbps wired connection. If there is no power supply please check the AC power supply, the Ethernet cables and connector. Check the RF cables state, in case of devices with external antennas are used. Check if the local connection works by using a laptop or ERConsole. If the local connection is allowed, after the authentication step in web interface, check all radio parameters by connecting to it using a laptop. The values for the following radio parameters must be the same on both units:
Link ID. Center frequency. Channel width. Frame length. Guard interval. Downlink/Uplink ratio. Access key. Step 3: Path profile check If the wireless link is down after previous steps, check the antennas alliagnment with two teams working simultaneously, one at the remote side and the other one at the local side. Also,redo the radio planning to avoid the situation when coordinates at the initial radio planning stage is different from the current location: huge interferences on the working set of frequencies, Fresnel zone obstruction are possible reasons why the wireless link cannot be established, etc. Step 4: Report the problem to the InfiNet Wireless support team If you are unable to identify the cause of the problem, please contact the InfiNet Wireless support team. It is necessary to provide diagnostic card, antenna alignment test results screenshots, the installation points photos, the installation points coordinates. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 90 Quanta 5 8.3 3. Expected throughput is not met The wireless link is established but the capacity is less than expected. Step 1: Local and remote units settings check Login to both units via web interface, check the availability of the new firmware version. If a newer firmware version is available, proceed with the firmware upgrade in order to benefit of the latest radio features and improvements. In the "Dashboard" section check the EVM and RSSI parameters values:
EVM values are significantly differed from the initial, and RSSI values - are not. It may indicate the noise appearance. It is recommended to use the "Spectrum analyzer" tool to determine the noise level on the current channel and to select a new frequency channel. EVM and RSSI values are significantly differed from the initial. It is required to check the antennas alignment, cables condition and obstructions in the first Fresnel zone or line of sight. Proceed to the "Radio" section and check the frame length value, if it is too small, try to increase it. Perform the antenna alignment with built-in tool especially in case of low RSSI and EVM values. Step 2: Check at the units location site Further actions should be done on the site of units location. Check the Ethernet connection, as well as the cables integrity. Tighten the connector and check the antennas, as well. Perform proper antenna alignment on site. If after the alignment the EVM level is still low, it indicates the presence of external interference. Try to use another frequency if available or perform a spectrum scanning. Step 3: Report the problem to the InfiNet Wireless support team If you are unable to identify the cause of the problem, please contact the InfiNet Wireless support team. It is necessary to provide diagnostic card, antenna alignment test results screenshots, the installation points photos, the installation points coordinates. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 91 Quanta 5 8.4 4. No data is being transferred The wireless link is established but no data is being transffered. Step 1: Local and remote units settings check Connect to the unit web interface and check the matrix connectivity in the "Switch" section, ge0 port must be connected with the radio port. Check the operation status of the ge0 port. Enable the port if it was disabled. In case of using VLANs, proceed to the "Switch" section and make sure that the VLAN configuration is correct, the specific traffic VLAN ID is allowed to pass through the port. If the port status is "Up" but no packets are received, check the configuration of the equipment which is directly connected. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 92 Quanta 5 Step 2: Check at the units location site Further actions should be done on the site of the units location. Check the Ethernet connector, as well as the integrity of the cables. Step 3: Report the problem to the InfiNet Wireless support team If you are unable to identify the cause of the problem, please contact the InfiNet Wireless support team. It is necessary to provide diagnostic card, antenna alignment test results screenshots, the installation points photos, the installation points coordinates. 8.5 5. Unit mangement is lost If the management of the unit is completely lost (of the local and/or the remote one), the ERConsole recovery procedure should be used. ERConsole is a software application created to recover or add a new IP address to the InfiNet Wireless units. Additionally, the ERConsole can be used to reset the InfiNet Wireless units to the factory default configuration. Software requirements::
ftp://ftp.infinet.ru/pub/Utils/EmergenceRepairConsole/ERConsole.zip
. ERConsole:
Java Runtime Environment:
http://www.java.com/en/download/
. It is recommended to turn off any anti-virus or firewall running on your computer and to turn off all the network interfaces, except the Ethernet interface connected to the same broadcast subnet as the Infinet Wireless unit. If no device can be discovered by ERConsole, turn on the firewall, and add an UDP connection port 10009 as an exception. We also recommend to use a simple unmanaged switch as intermediary unit between your PC and the InfiNet Wireless unit. It is essential to reboot the InfiNet Wireless unit each time in order to activate the Emergency Repair Protocol on the unit, therefore the switch would prevent your PC Ethernet interface from flapping up and down. Using Cisco Catalyst switches for unit recoverty is not recommended due to a known issue port mode negotiation delay. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 93 Quanta 5 NOTE ERConsole and InfiNet Wireless units exchange information only during the bootup process, therefore each time you need to read the units IP address, to add a new IP or to restore to the default configuration, the InfiNet Wireless unit should be rebooted. 8.5.1 Access to the unit recovery If you have lost management to your unit, proceed as follows:
Run the ERConsole. Turn off the unit and then turn it on in a few seconds. Wait for 30 seconds and the ERConsole screen should receive update from the unit. The serial number, number of unit reset cycles ("Sequence" field), IP address, network mask and MAC adress will be displayed on the screen. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 94 Quanta 5 Further recovery depends on whether the IP-address is assigned or not to the unit. IP address and net mask are assigned Configure on your PC an IP belonging to the same network and connect to the unit in order to perform the modifications and checking required. If there is no IP, displayed (0.0.0.0), proceed with the next step. IP address and net mask are not assigned Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 95 Quanta 5 Click the "+" button in the ERConsole application and a new window will appear. In the "New task" window, set the additional IP address and network mask, then click
"OK". Turn off and on the unit. Wait for 30 seconds until the IP is assigned. Add an IP address from the same network subnet to your PC and access the unit. ERConsole will not show newly assigned IP address. Login to the unit using the new IP. Do not reboot the unit until the new configuration has been saved because the additional IP address is temporary. Quanta 5 Technical User Manual 96 Quanta 5 8.5.2 Restore to the factory default settings In case you need to restore your unit to the factory default settings, proceed as follows. NOTE If the management of the unit is lost due to unknown user name or password it can be restored using factory password. Enter the device serial number to the "Login" field and factory password - to the "Password" field. Obtain the factory password. In order to do this, please contact the distributor through whom the unit was purchased, or in case purchasing the unit directly in InfiNet Wireless, send a request to the InfiNet Wireless support team. The request must include the unit serial number and the value of "Sequence" field (if it's non-zero). Obtain the unit IP address using the ERConsole as described in the section above. Click on the "+" button in the ERConsole application and a new window will appear. Select "Reset configuration" option and enter the factory password to the "Factory password" field, then click "OK". The password must be entered at the same format as it has been got from the distributor or IW support team (with the gaps). Turn off and on the unit and then wait for about 30 seconds. The unit will start in a special emergency mode with the IP address 10.10.10.1 and mask 255.255.255.0. Login to the unit and use "Restore factory settings" button on the "Maintenance" section to switch off emergency mode. Set new login and password, then save the configuration and restart the unit.

SC-FDE radio technology is used for data transmission. 3.3.1 Radio Extended set of modulation coding schemesQuanta 5/Quanta 6supports14 modulation-coding schemes. In periodic interference conditions, the performance will stay on the highest level. Automatic Modulation Control (AMC) modulation control algorithm selects the most appropriate modulation-coding scheme at each polarization and each end of the link in order to maximize the link performance. 3 https://wiki.infinetwireless.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=7279212 4 https://wiki.infinetwireless.com/display/DR/Troubleshooting Introduction 11 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 Hybrid-FDD (split-frequency mode) separate allocation of downlink and uplink channels to utilize the least congested frequency channel at each end of the link. Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) a technology which enables packet re-transmission in case of previous unsuccessful delivery, allowsto achieve reliable connectivity even in highly congested spectrum. Instant DFS (only for Quanta 5 family) a set of algorithms operating on top of the mandatory DFS/Radar detection/LBT, providing background spectrum scanning and zero-downtime channel reselection in case of congestion or radar detection. For uplink and downlink traffic, different frequencies can be selected to achieve optimum performance. Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) a technology which allows to limit the overall power system mode, which takes into account the antenna gain and losses in the RF cable. 3.3.2 Networking VLAN support is an important tool which is used to isolate and filter traffic flows. STP support allows to avoid network loops. IEEE 1588v2 support provides synchronization between devices via the wired network segment. Stacked VLAN support (Q-in-Q) avoids the limitation in the number of available VLANs (4096), which can be useful for large networks. In addition, Q-in-Q allows you to organize L2 channels within a limited VLAN list, which is widely used in provider networks and on leased communication channels. Due to QoS support, traffic prioritization is available in accordance with the 802.1p (8 queues), ensures that the most important data arrives with priority. One of the network mechanisms to optimize bandwidth by reducing the share of overhead for service headers are Jumbo frames with size up to 9038 bytes. 3.3.3 Distance Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 devices have a link budget of up to 178 dB for models with 25 dBi antenna and from 125 dB for models with external antennas that allows to achieve reliable connectivity at a distance more than 200 km in clear line-of-sight conditions, as well as provides sufficient margin for near- and non-LOS deployments at shorter distances. Transmit power at the highest modulations is also one of the key performance metrics, allowing devices to achieve the highest performance over long distances and in noisy spectrum. Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 transmit power at QAM256 is up to 24 dBm. 3.3.4 Environment Operating temperature range-40 ... +60 . Dust and water protection in compliance withIP66/IP67.

Introduction 32 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 4 Planning considerations During link planning, such factors as distance, obstacles and the link margin should be taken into account.We strongly recommend to use the InfiPLANNER tool for link planning. 4.1 InfiPLANNER InfiPLANNER is a link planning tool, which allows to design networks using InfiNet Wireless devices for optimal deployment and cost effectiveness. Itaccounts fordifferentscenarios based on geography, distance, antenna height, transmit power, device models and other factors. It outputs an installation report that defines the parameters to be used for configuration, alignment and operation. Use the installation report to compare the predictedperformance with theactual link performance.InfiPLANNER is available athttps://
infiplanner.infinetwireless.com5. NOTE You can find more detailed information about InfiPLANNER in the "InfiPLANNER: Link Planning Tool6"
online course. 4.2 Range and obstacles Make sure that line of sight is providedwhen planning the antennas' placement for a point-to-point link in orderto achieve maximum range and performance between two antennas. Perform a survey to identify all the obstructions
(such as trees or buildings) in the path and to assess the risk of interference. The radio beam is an electromagnetic wave and it is not as thin as a laser beam, for example. The main energy in a radio beam is concentrated along the straight line between the two antennas, inside an area with the shape of an ellipsoid (or a rugby ball).This area is calledthe 1stFresnel zone and its exact form and size depend upon the frequency and the signal propagation path length. If most of the 1stFresnel zone is obstructed, a major part of the radio waves electromagnetic energy is lost, which leads to a severe signal quality degradation and as a result to adecreased coverage range or performance. Below is an incomplete list of possible obstructionsalong the signal propagation path:
Neighboring buildings. Trees. Bridges. Power lines. To obtain the best results, it is necessary to perform a precise analysis of the signal propagation path and possible obstructions that mayobstruct the 1stFresnel zone. 5 https://infiplanner.infinetwireless.com/

Try to keep the LOS clear of obstructions. In case of installations over vegetation and forest, make sure the direct LOS stays above the trees; in urban environments - above the tallest buildings along the radio path. The influence of trees can be variable, depending on the season (ice, dew, leaves). Keep in mind that, during spring and summer, leaves can absorb high levels of radio energy. Therefore, when installing during the cold season, over forests and trees without leaves, try to achieve a higher fade margin. Install antennas as far as possible from other antennas (the recommended distance is at least 2 meters). Reflecting surfaces should be considered (buildings with reflective windows, water surfaces or wet grounds). These can be useful in NLOS situations, if there is no direct clear path between the 2 antennas, so the radio signal needs to be reflectedby a surface. However,reflections can also decrease the signal quality when encountered along a clear LOS link, because of fading caused by multipath propagation. When installing antennas over the water, tune the height bracket within a1-3 meters range variation, because it can yield significant signal level variations due to multipath fading. 7 https://academy.infinetwireless.com/en/online-education/wireless-networking-fundamentals/2 Planning considerations 34 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 NOTE Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.

In order to avoid ODU failure due to moisture entering the device, for example, during the pressure drop during the rain, the cable gland assembly requirements should be met and there are should be no cracks in the Ethernet cable jacket. In addition, you should avoid the Ethernet cable bending near the ODU, that can bring to the pressure equalization system fault between the internal volume of the sealed ODU and the external environment during a sudden air temperature change. This may lead to the device failures. 6.4 Grounding and Lightning Protection This section describes factors to be considered when planning the proposed link end sites,including grounding, lightning protection and equipment location for the wireless device, power supply,AUX-ODU-LPU-Land AUX-ODU-
LPU-G unit (if installed). CAUTION Electro-magnetic discharge (lightning) damage is not covered under warranty. The recommendations in this document, when followed correctly, give the user the best protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither implied nor possible. 6.4.1 Grounding and lightning protection recommendations The wireless device should be placed on the pole at a height that is at least 1 meter below the top of the pole. In this case, there is a significant probability that the lightning strikes the pole and not the wireless device. The pole should be properly grounded: connected to the building lightning protection circuit according to your local regulations. All equipment must be connected at stabilized and surge protected power sources which must be properly grounded. The end of the FTP service cable that is connected to the power supply should be assembled with a shielded RJ-45 connector. The other end of the FTP service cable connected to the wireless device should be assembled with unshielded (standard) RJ-45 connector. The power supply is grounded via a three-conductor power cord and a grounded socket. AUX-ODU-LPU-G andAUX-ODU-LPU-Lgrounding is performed using grounding bolt. Antenna pole and wireless device should be connected to the common ground ring. Grounding cables should be no less than 10AWG thick and must use corrosion-resistant connectors. Special attention should be paid if the external antenna used is not DC-shorted. In this case, an additional lightning arrestor should be used between the antenna and ODU. 6.4.2 Requirements to the lightning protection unit AUX-ODU-LPU-L location AUX-ODU-LPU-Lis an optional accessory which may be used to serve as a line protection unit for theODUand for the indoor network equipment connected to the Ethernet port of theIDU. AUX-ODU-LPU-Lshould be properly assembled, mounted and grounded. Installation 52 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 General recommendations for installations of lightning protection units:
Install the lightning protection unit on both ends of the cable to protect both the outdoor and the indoor unit.The purpose of theLPUat the top is to protect theODUfrom a surge of lightning strike which can hit the long FTP cablerun along the height of the pole or on the roof of the building.The purpose of theLPUat the bottom is to protect theIDUand customer equipment. Use the lightning protection unit to protect all circuits for signal transmission and power supply (video, audio, management signals, Ethernet, etc.) Regularly (especially before the periods with high thunderstorm activity) check the integrity of lightning protection units, grounding elements andbonding conductors. The ports of the AUX-ODU-LPU-L device are symmetrical, i.e. the correspondence of ports position to the external unit and the power supply does not matter. Make sure to install the twoLPUdevices as shown in the scheme below. 13 Figure - Connection scheme CAUTION Please note grounding cables should not be connected to the mast. All devices must use separate grounding cable that should be connected to the grounding circuit. The best scenario is when grounding cables are lined parallel to the Ethernet cable. 6.4.2.1 AUX-ODU-LPU-L Mounting AUX-ODU-LPU-Lis installed on a mast, using clamp.

Installation 58 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 20 Figure - AUX-ODU-LPU-G Cable Gland Assembly Scheme 6.5 Antenna Alignment 6.5.1 General recommendations It is recommended to have two teams prepared for alignment procedure, each team with at least two members: one should take the signal readings and communicate with the remote end, the other should manipulate the antenna. For rough alignment use the azimuth, elevation angle and suspension height from InfiPLANNER report. NOTE For devices with an integrated antenna 18 dBi, the mounting kit allows alignment only in the horizontal plane. On the device case there is a scale indicating the received signal level.The more often indicator flashes, the better quality of the connection.Blinking indicator shows an intermediate state, the more often indicator is blinking, the higher the connection level. For more accurate alignment, use the alignment tool built into the device web interface. After the initial alignment, the device at the remote side must be fixed.Firstly, the alignment is performed for one device, then for another. Installation 59 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 6.5.2 Alignment tool Use the Alignment tool to point and optimize the antenna in the direction of maximum link signal. The built-in graphical antenna alignment tool displays the signal levels for both devices and both polarizations, this makes an alignment process fast and accurate. A green marker indicates the current signal level. To achieve the best performance, this marker should be as close as possible to the pale green area values, which displays the maximum calculated value possible for this link. A gray marker indicates the maximum value that was reached on this channel.

By clicking the "Last Snapshot"button, you get the final scanning results. The most common usage of this feature is when you perform a spectrum scan at the remote unit on the other side of the wireless link. When running a spectrum scan at such a unit (accessible via the RF interface), connection to this unit will be lost for a scan time.
"Last Snapshot" option allows viewing scan results when the connection gets up again. 7.10 Antenna Alignment Tool The graphical antenna alignment tool allows to visualize the signal characteristics on both sides of the link in order to make the antenna alignment process more accurate and easier. It helps to find the best antenna position via comparing the actual received signal level with the calculated reference value.The accuracy of the antenna alignment at the neighbor device is very important for the link quality. Antenna alignment tool operates online and does not break the wireless connection. Each side of the link (local and remote) has two similar test indicator sets, corresponding to each antenna polarization. This allows controlling the alignment process for each antenna polarization for the local and for the remote device simultaneously. The main idea is to achieve the actual signal level (green square) is closer to the reference value (pale green area). Grey square shows maximal achieved value on each channel.

List of possible problems:
1.No access to the local unit(see page 97) 2. Wireless link is not established(see page 103) 3. The wireless link is established, but there is no access to the remote device(see page 106) 4. The wireless link throughput is lower than expected(see page 108) 5. Common errors in configuration(see page 109) 8.1 1.No access to the local unit 8.1.1 Checking the network infrastructure Make sure there is connectivity between the control center and the device installation point.If the access is missing only to the Infinet device, further verification must be performed at the installation site. 8.1.2 LED indication Check the power supply to the device. The "POWER" indicator has three possible colors:
Red light - the device is connected to the electricity mains, Yellow light - a wired connection with a speed of 10/100 Mbps Green light - a wired connection with a speed of 1000 Mbps. Other indicators are used to perform coarse antenna alignment.The more indicators are on, the better wireless connection is established. The blinking indicator means an intermediate state. Troubleshooting 97 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 If there is no power, it is necessary to check the power supply, connectors, the Ethernet cables integrity. 8.1.3 Access to the unit recovery If the power indicator is on and there is connection via the Ethernet interface, connect to the device directly as it is shown in the scheme below.Make sure that the IP address of the PC is in the same subnet as the IP address of the device.You can restore the IP address and reset the device to the factory settings using the ERConsole utility. Troubleshooting 98 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 Before starting the access restoring procedure, it is recommended to install the following software:
ERConsole:ftp://ftp.infinet.ru/pub/Utils/EmergenceRepairConsole/ERConsole.zip. Java Runtime Environment:http://www.java.com/en/download/. Turn off any anti-virus or firewall running on your computer. If no device can be discovered by ERConsole, turn on the firewall, and add an UDP connection port 10009 as an exception. Use a simple unmanaged switch as intermediary device between your PC and theInfinetunit. It is essential to reboot the InfiNet unit each time in order to activate the Emergency Repair Protocol on the unit, therefore the switch would prevent your PC Ethernet interface from flapping up and down. Using Cisco Catalyst switches for unit recovery is not recommended due to a known issue port mode negotiation delay. NOTE ERConsole and Infinet Wireless units exchange information only during the bootup process, therefore each time you need to read the units IP-address, to add a new IP-address or to restore to the default configuration, the Infinet Wireless unit should be rebooted. Access recovery Follow the steps below to recovery access to the device:
Run the ERConsole application. Turn offthe Infinet Wireless unit by removing ethernet cable from power supply unit and thenturn it onin a few seconds. Waitfor30 seconds until the ERConsole receive information from the device.The Serial number, number of device reset cycles ("Sequence" field), IP-address, network mask and MAC-adress will be displayed on the screen. If anIP-address is assigned to the device, configure anIP-addressbelonging to the same networkon your laptopand connect to the unit. Troubleshooting 99 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 IP-address assigning To assign new IP address make the following steps:
Click the + button in the ERConsole application and a new window will appear. Set the additionalIP-address and network mask, then click"OK". Turn off and onthe Infinet unit.Waitfor about 30 seconds until the "Complete" sign will uppear. Add an IP-address from the same network subnet to your PC and access the unit. Note that ERConsole will not show newly assignedIP-address. Login to the unit using the newIP-address. Do not reboot the unit now because the IP-address added by ERConsole is temporar and will be removed by saving new configuration. To restore the device to thefactorydefaultsettings, follow the steps below. Factory settings restore NOTE If the management of the unit is lost due to unknown user name or password it can be restored using factory password. Put an serial number of device in the "User name" field and factory password in the
"Password" field. Get the factory password by sending a request to the your distributor or to the Infinet technical support service if the device was purchased directly. In the request, specify the serial number and the "Sequence"
parameter value (if the value is not zero). Obtain the IP-address of the unit using the ERConsole as describedin the section above. Click on the + button in the ERConsole application and a new window will appear. Select Reset configuration option andenterthe Factory Password obtained at the previous step in the
"Factory password" field, then click OK. The password must be entered the sameformatas it has been gotit fromthe distributor or IW support (with the gaps).. Turn offand on the device and thenwait for about30 seconds until the"Complete" sign will uppear. The unit will start in special emergency mode with the IP-address 10.10.10.1 and mask 255.255.255.0. Login to the unit and use "Restore Factory Settings" button on the "Maintenance" page to switch off emergency mode. Set new login and password, then save the configuration and restart the unit. 8.1.4 Checking the Ethernet interface state If you were able to access the device by connecting directly, try to determine the possible reason for the unavailability through the network.Pay attention to the wired interface statistics. Troubleshooting 100 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 In the "Wired interface" section, you can monitor the Ethernet interface status and its traffic load for reception and transmission. The wired interface statistics is on the right side and can be reset by clicking the "Clear counters"
button. Pay attention to the FCS errors number which indicate a violation of data integrity during transmission over the wired segment.Also, the problem can be caused by a queue (port) overflow or inappropriate frame size (runt and oversize). NOTE The FCS errors counter can increase due to the following reasons:
The device connection is performed using inappropriate cable. We strongly recommend to useFTP Cat5e cable with outside diameter not exceed 7 mm. A shielded RJ-45 connector is used from the outdoor unit side. Make sure RJ-45 connectors are installed in the correct order. The shielded connector must be installed on the power supply side, the standard RJ-45 must be installed on the wireless device end. The device is grounded incorrectly, make sure the device installation complies with the recommendations specified in the "Grounding and Lightning Protection 12" article. Pay attention to the duplex mode on the network devices connected to the wireless bridge.The duplex mode can be changed in the "Switch" - "Network Ports" section.We recommend setting the autonegotiation mode provided by the Ethernet standard.The problem can occur while connecting two devices with different duplex settings.For example, if one device has the autonegotiation mode, and the other - fixed full duplex mode. 12 https://wiki.infinetwireless.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=9044431 Troubleshooting 101 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 Troubleshooting 102 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 8.2 2. Wireless link is not established Pre-configuration in the lab Before installing the devices on site, we recommend to configure the basic parameters in the lab and to make sure that the link is establishing.Step-by-step instructions for a wireless link configuration are given in theLink Pre-
configuration in the lab(see page 38)article. NOTE During the configuration of the devices in a lab, take into account the following requirements:
Make sure that the devices are not directed at each other in order to prevent the damage of the radio modules. It is recommended to place the devices at a distance from each other, with the antennas directed to the floor. The minimum transmit output power must be set on the devices. In case of using two devices with "E" index, it is recommended to connect them directly using RF cables and RF attenuators with an attenuation of at least 40 dB for each polarization (the installation\deinstallation of the RF attenuators and of the RF cables should only be performed when the devices are switched off). The failure or damage of the device's radio module in case of disregarding these requirements is not covered by warranty. Checking the radio parameters If the wireless link is not establishing in lab conditions, make sure that the radio parameters are set to the values determined during the planning stage. The correct configuration of the device can be obtained using the Configuration Generator tool found on theIW Academy13website.To establish a wireless link, one device must be configured as Master, the second (or all subscribers of the base station in the point-to-multipoint topology) as 13 https://academy.infinetwireless.com/en/configuration_generator Troubleshooting 103 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 Slave.The following parameters must be identical on both devices:
Channel Width. Frequency. Frame length. Access key. 8.2.1 Checking the firmware version In the "Maintenance" section, make sure that the same firmware version is installed on both devices.The latest software versions can be downloaded from the official InfinetFTP server14. 14 ftp://ftp.infinetwireless.com/pub/Firmware Troubleshooting 104 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 8.2.2 Checking the installation requirements Check if the suspension height, azimuth and elevation of the antenna match with the values obtained fromInfiPLANNER15. Make sure that the obstacles on the path profile are not higher than those specified during the planning phase. 8.2.3 Interference detection Using the built-in Spectrum Analyzer tool, scan the air on both sides of the link to make sure there is no interference that could corrupt the signal on the device's operating frequency and on the adjacent frequencies.To get accurate information about the frequency, hover the mouse cursor over it.The pop-up window below provides information about frequency, maximum signal level, average signal level.The indicators show the signal level in dBm.For operation at the highest modulations, the RSSI parameter value should be in the range of -60 ...- 40 dBm.To get the spectrum scanning results on the remote device, use the "Last snapshot" button. 15 https://infiplanner.infinetwireless.com/
Troubleshooting 105 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 8.3 3. The wireless link is established, but there is no access to the remote device 8.3.1 Checking the switch settings on the local device In the "Switch" section of the web interface, make sure the VLAN-based switching settings are configured in accordance with the network architecture. Make sure the connectivity between the "ge0" and "radio" interfaces is enabled. Troubleshooting 106 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 8.3.2 Checking the switch settings on the remote device Further diagnostics should be performed at the device installation site. Try to access the device directly using the ERConsole utility. When accessing the web interface, in the "Switch" section, make sure the VLAN-based switching settings are configured in accordance with the network architecture. Make sure the connectivity between the "ge0", "radio" and
"mgmt" interfaces is enabled in a connectivity matrix. In the "Network" section, make sure the correct VLAN ID is assigned to the management IP address and the default gateway is configured in accordance with network architecture. Troubleshooting 107 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 8.4 4. The wireless link throughput is lower than expected 8.4.1 The wireless link indicators Go to the web interface of both devices, check the new firmware version availability. Update the firmwareif available. Check the EVM and RSSI parameters values in the dashboard section:
If the value of the RSSI parameter remains high while the CINR value decreases, it may indicate high interference levels near one of the devices. Use the "Spectrum analyzer" utility built into the web interface to determine the interference level on the current channel and select a new frequency channel. The deterioration of both the RSSI and the CINR parameters can indicate a misalignment of the devices. Check the antennas alignment, the RF cables condition and the obstacles in the first Fresnel zone. Proceed to the "Radio" section and check the following settings:
The frame length value, if it is too small try to increase it;
Power limit, increase the value, make sure Automatic Transmit Power Control is enabled, target RSSI value matches expected values. Perform an antenna alignment using the built-in utility, especially in case the RSSI and EVM values are low. Troubleshooting 108 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 8.4.2 Availability statistics To analyze the wireless link availability time, proceed to the corresponding statistics in the "Dashboard" -
"Availability statistics" of web interface. The opened window displays the link operation statistics for each modulation. 8.5 5. Common errors in configuration 8.5.1 Automatic transmit power control Enable the automatic transmit power control (ATPC) in order to increase the operational life of the devices. Set the
"Target RSSI" parameter to values from -40 to -60 dBm. Troubleshooting 109 Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 8.5.2 Frame length Make sure the selected frame size ensures the best performance for your wireless system. A short frame will transmit less payload than a long one, however it ensures a smaller delay.
