The system is composed of a BTS, CPE, a full featured optional Service Management System (SMS) and Malibus patent pending MAXimum IP QoS. TM The CPE and BTS portions of the system are all outdoor units (ODU) ruggedized for the harshest environments with an operating temperature range of up to 55 Reliability and cost effectiveness were key design goals for this system. By utilizing many standard off-the-shelf components, AirMAX is mature, reliable, and takes advantage of volume production resulting in the best performance and value available today. C. o 2 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 1: Introduction System Components AirMAX system components are:
Base Transceiver Station (BTS): transmits to and from one or more customer premises (CPE) systems. Customer Premises Equipment (CPE): transmits from a local customer site to and from a BTS system. Both CPE and BTS systems are functionally Note:
similar in that they are made up of an antenna, controller card, radio modem and power supply (items contained in the ODU and Power Injector units). When we discuss a BTS or CPE system therefore, remember that it consists of an ODU and a Power Injector. Ethernet Power Antenna Power Injector ODU Figure 1-1. Basic System, CPE or BTS ODU: Outdoor Unit and antenna. The ODU is a ruggedized box, often antenna-mast mounted, that houses a radio modem and connects to an antenna. It has a special Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) cable that passes both data and power to/from the Power Injector. The radio modem and circuit board inside have non-volatile memory and a standalone CPU that communicates with other systems. Remote management software configures and controls the ODU. Power Injector: This unit is placed inside the customers facility and connects the sites 10/
100Base-T LAN to the ODU. It also functions as an AC adapter that passes power to the ODUalong with dataover the PoE ethernet cable. Installation and Configuration Product Overview 3 The Power Injector has two parts, an AC adapter power module that plugs into a 100/240VAC 50-
60Hz source and a small module (called the power injector) that has the two RJ-45 ethernet connections (LAN and ODU) and connects to the power module. PoE Cable ODU Router Power Injector WAN BTS To build an AirMAX system, you need a BTS and one or more CPE systems as needed for subscribers. PoE Cable Power Injector ODU CPE PoE Cable Power Injector ODU CPE Hub LAN Figure 1-2. Simplified System Block Diagram SMS: manages all aspects of AirMAX. This system provides a robust suite of functions, from top-level network management integration, to system element management, to customer provisioning and management. Features include:
1 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n supports UNIX, and JAVA-based user interface Windows client platforms with one application. Flow-through provisioning configuration and deployment by any authorized entity. for rapid service 4 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 1: Introduction SMS As the system is fully compliant with SNMP v2 SNMP interface using the Malibu enterprise MIB and the standard MIB II object library. Distributed management technology:
grows from a few base stations to as many as hundreds of base stations, expensive, high-
performance, single-point-of-failure servers can be avoided by distributing SMS functions over a number of low-cost servers SLA (service level agreement) facilitation:
offers complete flexibility in service definition, provisioning, and monitoring. In addition, tools are provided to empower the service provider to customize SLAs to meet unique subscriber needs, and to meet the requirements of the operators specific business model. Jitter and latency are all configurable characteristics of each Service Definition Suite. These definitions can be applied on a per-flow basis. Intelligent provisioning:
efficiently accomplished with constant monitoring of current service level agreements and available system resources, preventing unwanted over-
subscription of guaranteed services. In this way, new subscribers and their services can be added to the network with the assurance that existing service level agreements will continue to be fully supported. resource management is Installation and Configuration Product Overview 5 a service provider will see an MAXimum IP (QoS):
immediate, dramatic increase in their bottom line due to Malibus QoS implementation in AirMAX. MAXimum IP accomplishes this through two primary means. First, the efficiency of the system is increased resulting in a subscriber throughput improvement compared to similar systems without MAXimum IP. Second, MAXimum IP offers considerably more than just minimum and maximum bandwidth control per CPE and per subscriber behind the CPE, a claim no other vendor can make today. MAXimum IP also gives the service provider the ability to control jitter and latency as well as enabling additional high value services to be sold and supported.

Before Installation Chapter 2 Installation When preparing to install an AirMAXTM system, first ensure youve gathered all the information needed:
Analyze environmental and facility requirements and determine antenna, ODU, and Power Injector mounting locations. Ensure locations offer optimum direction for the terrain. Temperature limits at ODU mounting locations should be within this range: -30oC to +55oC Temperatures at Power Injector mounting locations should meet normal office or home conditions. Decide on antenna mounting specifics: do you want to pole or wall-mount the ODU? Locate antenna as high as practical for best coverage. 10 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 2: Installation CAUTION Ensure antennas between communicating AirMAX systems are within a 12.4 mile range (20Km). You can have up to 100 subscribers per CPE and up to 100 CPEs per sector (with 500 subscribers per sector). Ensure that the overall Ethernet cabling between the ODU, Power Injector, and customer LAN connection
(router/switch/etc.) is less than 300 feet total. If you need a longer distance, you can insert signal conditioning equipment between the Power Injector and customer equipment. The PoE cables supplied by Malibu are from 25 feet to 250 feet in length. Caution: when making actual cable connections at the time of installation, do not confuse the ethernet cable from the customers LAN to the Power Injectorwhich is data only and does not have powerand the PoE Ethernet cable that runs between the ODU and Power Injector which does have power. These connections are made at the Power Injector, which has two RJ45 connectors, and it is possible to plug in the wrong cable and damage equipment. Always check which cable youre plugging in when making Ethernet connections to the Power Injector. The correct Power Injector Ethernet connections are shown later in this Chapter. This manual illustrates the connections as the procedures are given. Ensure the workers installing the ODU and antennas are experienced installation professionals familiar with all local building codes and safety regulations, and who are licensed for the type of work being performed. Installation and Configuration Installation Overview 11 Installation Overview After choosing installation locations, youre ready for physical and electrical installation (explained in this chapter). Later in Chapter 3 we explain how to configure the system via web browser. To help give you an overview, lets summarize the complete installation procedure to install an AirMAX system:
1. First, install the physical BTS system hardware, including ODU, Power Injector, antenna, and cabling. 2. Connect a PC to the Power Injector with a crossover cable or LAN connection, set the IP of the PC to a value compatible with the BTS, and then configure BTS software from a web browser by entering the IP address of the BTS. 3. From the same PC connected to the BTS, add the CPEs you wish to communicate with the BTS. 4. With the BTS now installed and configured, youll next install the physical CPE system hardware, including ODU, Power Injector, antenna and cabling. 5. Now, just as the BTS was configured, youll then connect a PC to the CPEs Power Injector, set the IP of the PC to a value compatible with the CPE, and then configure the CPEs radio modem. As on the BTS, youll enter the default factory IP address of the CPE into the PC browser to connect to it. 6. Finally, youll test the wireless communication between BTS and CPE using a PC attached to one system (BTS or CPE). 2 I n s t a l l a t i o n 12 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 2: Installation Computer with Web Browser set IP to 192.168.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 Hub Or direct connect with an Ethernet crossover cable Power Power Injector Antenna ODU
(factory preset IP of 192.168.1.1 that you can change after installation) Configuration applies to both CPE & BTS Figure 2-1. Basic Component Overview Now that you have an overview, lets begin the physical installation of CPE and BTS componentsantenna, ODU and Power Injector units, and cabling through the remainder of this chapter (steps 1 and 4 in our previous overview). In Chapter 3 well go through all the detailed steps of configuration. Mounting the BTS or CPE Antenna The antenna supplied for use with ODUs can be omni-
directional or directional. Positioning of BTS omnidirectional antennas is somewhat flexible. However, care should be taken to position it where topography or buildings do not impede transmission. CPE directional antennas require much more care in mounting since they must be directed toward the BTS antenna. Generally you should always plan for a line of sight position between antennas where possible. Mount the antenna clear of obstructions that may affect performance. Ensure that the antenna is mounted so that people will be at least 2 meters away during system operation. Pole mounting of antennas is preferable to wall mounting. If you wall mount the antenna, you must ensure that people on the other side of the wall will remain 2 meters from the antenna when the system is in operation. You may not co-locate the antenna with other antennas. Omnidirectional Antenna Mounting Installation and Configuration Mounting the BTS or CPE 13 To mount the antenna, follow the relevant steps for omnidirectional or directional antennas on the following pages. 1. Install a customer-supplied mast of 1 to 2 inches
(2.54 to 5.8cm) in diameter. Position the mast for true vertical using a level. Brace the mast as necessary so that it remains stationary in expected wind conditions. 2. Locate the antenna mounting illustration on this page or on the next few pages, which corresponds to the antenna you purchased. Follow the instructions in the illustration to mount the antenna to the mast. 3. Slide the antenna cable up through the antenna base or bracket(s) as directed in the illustration and ensure all screws and mounting hardware are tightened securely. 2 I n s t a l l a t i o n 14 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 2: Installation Antenna Mast Brackets Bracket Wingnuts (8 Total, 2 each side for each bracket) Antenna Brackets Clamp Over Metal Sleeve Metal Sleeve Screw Coax Connector Over Threaded Antenna Connector Antenna Coax Cable Antenna Mast The other end of the cable connects to the ODU Antenna Coax Connector

Using a compass or GPS unit to judge direction, position the antenna so it is pointed toward the known BTS antenna location. Later in Chapter 3, when you configure the CPE, youll use signal strength and quality metrics reported by the CPE Status web page to fine tune the antennas direction. 16 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 2: Installation Mount the ODU You can mount the ODU most anywhere since it has a ruggedized enclosure and a flexible mounting system. If you are mounting the ODU on a mast pole, use the included brackets to mount the unit securely.

These RJ45 connectors are identical, and it is possible to plug in the wrong cable and damage equipment. Always check which cable youre plugging in when making Ethernet connections to the Power Injector. The correct Power Injector Ethernet connections are shown in figure 2-6. CAUTION 1. Connect the ODU Ethernet cable carrying power and data to the circular Multipin Ethernet connector on the ODU. At the other end of the same Ethernet cable, plug the RJ45 connector into the Power Injector connector on the side of Power Injector that does not have the power connection. 2. Connect the Ethernet cable from the configuration PC (or the customers LAN connection) to the RJ45 connector on the Power Injector adjacent to the power connector. Note: If connecting a PC directly to the Power Injector, then you must use a crossover Ethernet cable. If connecting to a LAN, then use a standard Cat5 Ethernet cable. 3. Plug in the AC/DC power adapter cable into the Power Injector power socket. 4. Plug the AC/DC power adapter into an 100-240VAC 50-60Hz power source. Note: Appearance and form factor of AC Adapter may differ from that shown in illustration. Installation and Configuration Connecting Ethernet and Power 21 The ODU contains a single board computer (SBC) that controls the QoS and wireless networking operation of the CPE or BTS its part of. On the SBC is a radio modem, non-volatile memory and the ability to communicate with an external computer over its Ethernet link for remote management. In Chapter 3, Configuration, well describe how to configure the AirMAX system using a Windows PC running Windows 98, 2000, or NT; however, you can use any type of computer as long as it has an internet web browser and NIC. 2 I n s t a l l a t i o n 22 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 2: Installation Chapter 3 Configuration Configuration Overview Once your AirMAXTM BTS and CPE units are physically installed and cabled, they can then be configured remotely from a PC workstation running an internet web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The easy-to-use browser interface allows you to set up the TCP/IP addressing of the CPE and BTS system(s), determine system status, configure the wireless radio, and test or reboot the systems. In this chapter well go through the steps of configuring a complete system, starting with a BTS unit, then a CPE unit, and then testing the two together as a complete wireless system. As discussed in Chapter 1: Introduction, here are the steps well cover:
1. Connecting a PC to the Power Injector with a crossover cable and configuring BTS software from a web browser. 2. From the same PC connected to the BTS, adding CPEs you wish to communicate with the BTS. 24 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration 3. Connecting a PC to the CPEs Power Injector with a crossover cable and configuring the CPEs radio modem. You can also change CPE IP address
(optional). 4. Testing BTS to CPE wireless communications using an attached PC. Initial TCP/IP Configuration All AirMAX systems come factory preset with a default IP address (192.168.1.1) to simplify network configuration. At configuration you then can change the default IP to a customer-provided valid IP on your LAN. Before configuring the AirMAX system, ensure that you know the IP addresses, router IP address (sometimes called gateway IP), and subnet mask that will be used for the AirMAX CPE or BTS system. Your network administrator should be able to provide you with the proper values. Also, ensure that a PC with an internet browser is available that has connectivity to the AirMAX system Power Injector, either via a LAN connection (hub or switch) or by direct connection via an ethernet crossover cable. You will be using this PC to configure the AirMAX BTS and CPE units. PoE Cable ODU Router Power Injector WAN BTS To build an AirMAX system, you need a BTS and one or more CPE systems as needed for subscribers.

Initial TCP/IP Values Worksheet Item Value Needed gateway IP subnet mask IP addresses for CPEs (1 for each if using static IPs this may not be necessary) Configuring the BTS 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n To configure the BTS, well connect a PC to the Power Injector with a crossover cable, set the IP of the PC to match the subnet of the default BTS configuration, and then configure BTS software from a web browser. Follow the detailed steps:
1. Connect a computer with a javascript-ready internet web browser to the Power Injector via an Ethernet crossover cable. Here we discuss using a Windows 98/2000/NT/XP PC, but you could use some other platform such as Linux or MacOS. Power up the PC. (Chapter 2 provides photos and details on physical installation.) 2. Enter the Network Control Panel (Settings/Control Panels/Network) on the Windows PC, select the Configuration Tab and TCP/IP definition screen and then set the IP address of the PC to 26 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration 192.168.1.2. Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0. This will put the PC on the same subnet as the default BTS TCP/IP configuration. Launch a Web Browser on the PC Figure 3-2. TCP/IP Settings on PC (Windows) 3. Restart the PC if the OS requires it (Windows 98 does). Your AirMAX BTS and CPE units are configured using a web browser running on a Windows PC or other workstation. The configuration web pages are entered by simply entering the IP address of the AirMAX BTS or CPE you wish to configure. This action launches a webserver built into the CPE or BTS and provides you with several web pages of information you can view and configure. Installation and Configuration Configuring the BTS 27 Follow these steps to access the BTS:
1. Launch Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator on the PC. 2. Enter http://192.168.1.1 in the web browsers URL or Location field:

You can change this from the Configure web page. Channelthis value indicates the channel number, from one to 11, that the cell SSID transmits and receives on. The actual frequency allocations for each channel can vary geographically. You can change the channel value from the Configure web page. 30 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration Transmit Powerthis reflects the transmission power of the radio modem in milliwatts. Transmit power is set at the factory and is not user-adjustable. Radiothis shows radio modem transmitter status as On or Off. Signal Strengtha value from 0 to 100, where a higher number indicates higher signal strength. Signal Quality0 to 176 value indicates relative signal quality (lower number indicates better signal). Cell ID a unique number used by CPEs to associate with a BTS that has a matching SSID. Installation and Configuration Configuring the BTS 31 LAN MACall Ethernet devices have a unique 48-bit media access control (MAC) address built into them when manufactured. An example of a valid MAC address is 00:08:21:31:4e:8f. The field will contain ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff when radios have not yet been associated. LAN IPthe IP Address is a 32-bit address in a dotted decimal notation. Each of the four fields of the IP can have a value from 1 to 255. For example, here is an IP address: 201.252.100.111. The default BTS LAN IP should be changed to any subnet other than 192.168.1.0/24. LAN Maska bit mask used to select bits from an Internet address for subnet addressing. Subnet addressing is a way to segment devices and nodes on a network for efficient use of network addresses and for controlling data traffic. Routers use the subnet mask to decide which data packets are forwarded or stay on the local network. The mask is 32 bits long and is used to select the network portion of the Internet address and a number of bits of the local portion. For example, 255.255.255.0 specifies 24 network bits and 8 local host bits. Default Router (BTS only)specifies an IP address for your internet router. Your sites network administrator will know the number that should be in this field. It only needs to be set on the BTS. CPEs display a Next Hop IP field in its place
(discussed later in Configuring the CPE). Wireless MAClike the LAN MAC, except this field specifies the Radio Modems MAC. The radio modems in the CPE/BTS systems are Ethernet devices and thus each have a distinct MAC address that will be displayed in this field. 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n 32 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration Wireless IPlike the LAN IP Address, except this field specifies the Radio Modems IP. Note: this field cannot be edited. It is provisioned automatically from the BTS. Wireless Masklike the LAN Subnet Mask, except this field specifies the Radio Modems Subnet mask. Hardware Versionthe revision level of the electronics contained inside the CPE or BTS system. Malibu Networks technical support may ask you for this value when helping to troubleshoot your system. Software Versionthe revision level of the software running inside the CPE or BTS system controller as stored in non-volatile flash memory. Malibu Networks technical support may ask you for this software revision level when helping to troubleshoot your system. Radio Hardware Versionthe revision level of the radio modem on the system controller inside the CPE or BTS system. Malibu Networks technical support may ask you for this value when helping to troubleshoot your system. Radio Software Versionthe revision level of the software embedded in the radio modem module. Malibu Networks technical support may ask you for this software revision level when helping to troubleshoot your system. REBOOTthis button causes the CPE or BTS being configured to reboot its processor and restart the software. Configure Web Page Installation and Configuration Configuring the BTS 33 The Configure web page has many of the same fields as seen on the Status page, however here theyre changeable. To make changes to values, you first edit, enter or select the values on the Configure page. Then when youre ready to apply the changesyou click on the Apply button at the bottom of the page and the system loads the values inside the actual hardware and software. Where there are more than two values to choose from, youll select an item from a pull-down menu (see the Channel field). Fields where you can enter text (such as SSID) consist of an editable field. 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n After changing values, click here to apply them Figure 3-5. Configure Page 34 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration To perform initial BTS configuration, follow these steps:
1. Enter an SSID value for the base station. All CPEs configured later within the cell will also use this same value. 2. Enter the radio channel number, from one to 11, by using the pull down menu. 3. Verify that the Radio ON menu item is selected. 4. Enter a LAN IP for the BTS. 5. Select a Subnet Mask in the LAN Mask field. Later you can change this as directed by your network administrator. 6. Enter a default router for the BTS (get the value from your network administrator). 7. Click on the APPLY button at the bottom of the page. The BTS unit should now be transmitting and ready to pass Ethernet traffic. With the BTS running, youll now want to add CPEs to its cell area. Installation and Configuration Adding CPEs From the BTS 35 Adding CPEs From the BTS To add CPEs to a BTS fixed wireless broadcast area, you run a web browser from a PC attached to the BTS, just like you did when configuring, but this time you go to the Management screens, specifically the CPEs web page. This is a list of all CPEs defined so far 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n Figure 3-6. CPEs Page When the page is loaded, youll see a list at the top showing all the currently defined CPEs for the BTS. If none are yet defined (as shown in the example above), youll just see the list headings. To add a new CPE to the BTS, follow this procedure and select or make entries in the fields on the page:
1. Enter the CPEs Wireless MAC address. If not known, you can get this data later when 36 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration configuring the CPE. It is used for authenticating the CPE and preventing unauthorized access. 2. Enter a descriptive name for the CPE (for example, CPE1 or LABCPE, etc.). 3. Select a desired bandwidth for the CPE. The value entered is an integer from 0 to 7168 representing Kbps. 4. Enter an IP address for the CPE on its local LAN. 5. In the Netmask field, enter a subnet mask for the CPE address (usually this will be 255.255.255.0, but check with your network administrator). 6. Click the APPLY button at the bottom of the screen. To delete a CPE definition, just highlight it in the list at the top of the page and then click on the DELETE button. Configuring the CPE After you have configured the BTS, and added the CPE
(or CPEs) to the BTS, youre then ready to configure the CPE(s). Configuring a CPE is much the same as configuring a BTS, with some small differences. Here are the steps and differences:
1. Just as when you configured the BTS, connect a PC to the CPEs Power Injector with a crossover cable and repeat the same steps as in Configuring the BTS. 2. Run an Internet web browser on the PC, enter http:/
/192.168.1.1 in the web browsers URL or Location field and go to the Configure web page. This time it will display CPE Configuration at the top of the Configure web page. Installation and Configuration Configuring the CPE 37 Note: If this fails, try pinging the CPE IP address from the PC (pinging is explained in the Configuration Troubleshooting and Testing topic at the end of this chapter). 3. Enter the same SSID value as entered for the BTS. 4. Click the Radio ON button. 5. Enter a LAN IP for the CPE. You can stay with the default; this is only used for initial configuration and troubleshooting. Additional IP addresses and routes are configured automatically based on subscriber IP address configuration. The IP should not conflict with the BTS LAN IP or be a public IP (e.g., any 192.168.*.* is okay). 6. Enter a Subnet Mask in the LAN Mask field. You can stay with the default; this is only used for initial configurationafterward at provisioning, the BTS will set this value when the CPE is added to the BTS. 7. If you have a router connected directly to the CPE, select the CPE Connected to A Router Yes. Then enter the IP address of the router in the Next Hop IP field just below it. 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n 38 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration Figure 3-7. CPE Configuration 8. Click on the APPLY button at the bottom of the page. 9. The STATUS page will be redisplayed: click the REBOOT button at the bottom of the page and wait for two minutes while the CPE reboots and reinitializes the link. Click on the Status button at the left of the display after waiting the two minutes. You should see that the Cell ID field no longer contains all FFs, and now has a new value indicating the CPE has established a link with the BTS. Installation and Configuration Configuring the CPE 39 10.Observe the values in the Signal Strength and Signal Quality fields on the status page. Carefully rotate the CPE directional antenna through a 15 to 30 degree arc in small increments, rechecking the values by clicking the web browsers refresh button and looking again each time. Find the point where signal strength is the greatest (highest number). Afterward, tighten all antenna mounting nuts to lock the antenna into the final position. 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n Watch these values as you adjust the CPE antenna direction Figure 3-8. CPE Status, Signal Strength and Quality Fields The CPE unit now passes Ethernet traffic to and from the BTS. Youre ready to test the system as a whole. 40 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration QoS Management From the BTS To configure the Quality of Service settings for CPEs and their subscribers, youll use the Management web pages
(just as you did when adding CPEs with the CPEs web pagealso one of the Management pages). Weve already described the CPEs page under Management;
now well discuss the other pages and their intended purpose:
Service Levelsthis page allows you to set the type of QoS to be employed, including bandwidth, delay and jitter targets. Subscribersthis page associates subscribers with a CPE and configures their TCP/IP parameters. Rulesthis page establishes the behaviors you want the system to follow when handling communications for a specific subscriber. Items you can control include the service level (defined under Service Levels), IP protocols, payload types, and behavior upstream and downstream from the CPE. Whenever you leave the BTS web pages and return, youll have to log back on by supplying the username and password (malibu is the default user without any passworduntil you change it). After logging on, you can select the QoS management page links (Service Level, Subscribers, Rules, etc.) on the left of the display. Changing the password is discussed later in this Chapter. When You Log On Click APPLY to Make Changes Active Changes you make to any of the QoS Management pages do not take affect unless you click on the APPLY button at the bottom of the affected page after changing any values. Installation and Configuration QoS Management From the BTS 41 Service Levels 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n Default QoS Classes, plus any youve created Figure 3-9. Service Levels Web Page 42 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration NameEnter a unique name to identify the service level. TypeChoose the type of service level; three factory defaults are predefined for you to choose from. Guaranteed is the highest level for the highest priority traffic. Delay and jitter targets may be applied for real-time audio and video traffic. Controlled offers a level for medium traffic without delay and jitter goals. Best Effort is for low priority traffic and only supports maximum bandwidth. Max BandwidthEnter the maximum acceptable bandwidth for this service. The value selected is an integer from 0 to 7168 representing Kbps. Min BandwidthEnter the minimum bandwidth that the system will guarantee for this service level. You must be careful to not over-provision the bandwidth for all active flows. The value selected is an integer from 0 to 7168 representing Kbps. Max DelayPackets exceeding this delay value will be dropped. You should only use this field for video or audio traffic. Using it for TCP/IP data traffic will adversely affect overall system throughput. Max JitterPackets should arrive evenly spaced with a variation of less than this value. Note: this value must be less than the Max Delay value entered above. Installation and Configuration QoS Management From the BTS 43 Subscribers 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n Figure 3-10.

Installation and Configuration Changing The Password 47 Changing The Password Although initially the system has no password (only user Malibu), you can and should set a password to ensure system security. A Password link on the left of the display, under the Management links, takes you to a page where you can set or change password security. 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n Figure 3-12. Password Page 1. The Username field displays the current user; if you wish to change the username, enter the new name in the field, overwriting the current name. 2. If there was a password already defined, it will be shown in the Old Password field. To define a new password, enter it in the New Password field and then enter it a second time in the field just below it, labelled New Password Again. This helps 48 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration ensure that youve entered what you really want and have typed it correctly. 3. When youre sure that youve got the correct username and password, then click on the APPLY buttononly then will the changes be made to the system. Note: Always write down username and password changes and store them in a secure place, so you can find them later in the event you forget what they are. Testing BTS to CPE Wireless Communications Testing a basic system consists of pinging the BTS and then the CPE. To test with a Windows PC (other computers and OS platforms also have Ping utilities available, but the exact steps will vary):
1. Connect a Windows PC to the BTS as described earlier in Configuring a BTS and then run a DOS window. On most Windows PCs, you will go to the Start button, look under Programs and then select MS-DOS or MS-DOS Prompt. 2. Ensure that the BTS and CPE are not on the same LAN, so they can only communicate via the wireless link. 3. In the DOS window ping the CPE IP address set earlier during BTS configuration. For example, if the IP address for the CPE is 206.112.23.2, then enter:
>ping 206.112.23.2 RETURN 4. If it pings successfully, you have connectivity between the PC and the BTS. If it times-out and does not ping, ensure you are using the correct IP addresses and review the configuration data and physical installation. 5. Verify that you have a subscriber and rules for that CPE (see QoS Management from the BTS presented earlier in this Chapter). Test Web Page Installation and Configuration Test Web Page 49 During testing and troubleshooting, you may want to use this Test web page to turn Radio and/or Ethernet continuous transmission on and off on one or more CPE and BTS units. Caution: selecting continuous transmission will cause network disruption so it should only be used under test and troubleshooting conditions. On this screen youll see the following control buttons. Pressing any of these buttons causes an immediate action:
3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n Figure 3-13. Test Page WIRELESSpressing this button commands the CPE or BTS to immediately begin continuous radio transmission of data from its radio modemwhich continues until the STOP button is clicked. 50 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration Disable MAXimum IPpressing this button commands the CPE or BTS to immediately stop the AirMAX Quality of Service enforcement, allowing all flows equal availability without any system throughput management. STOPpressing this button commands the CPE or BTS to immediately stop continuous transmit modes. Note: After running these tests, reboot the system to restore normal operation. Statistics Web Page This web page shows data flow statistics for the CPE or BTS system being viewed. Figure 3-14. Statistics Page To monitor flow, enter a value in seconds in the Update Rate field, select one or more CPEs, and then click on the UPDATE button. Select Manual from the pull down menu and then click the UPDATE button to stop or select a different web page. WEP Installation and Configuration WEP 51 Wired Equivalent Protocol, or WEP, is the security behind the wireless IEEE 802.11 protocol. With AirMAX systems you do not need to configure WEP; 128-bit WEP with dynamic key exchange is automatically configured and used by the system without any manual operator configuration required. Configuration Troubleshooting and Testing Verify Connections by Pinging 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n Pinging is a simple and reliable way to ensure you have basic TCP/IP connectivity between TCP/IP devices over a network. By running the ping utility on a PC connected to a network and then sending test packets to another device on the network, you can then tell if the link between the devices is working by monitoring packet send times or data loss. To test with ping on a Windows PC, do the following:
1. Ensure the PC is attached to the network and configured with an appropriate subnet mask and IP address. (This was described at the beginning of this chapter in Configuring the BTS.) 2. Open a DOS window from Windows. On most Windows PCs, you will go to the Start button, look under Programs and then select MS-DOS or MS-DOS Prompt. 3. In the DOS window type:
>ping 192.168.1.1 RETURN The ping utility will then send test data packets to 192.168.1.1the factory default AirMAX IPand measure the time it takes to respond. It also checks whether there is any data loss in the loop. You can use 52 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration Ping to test any IP address on your LAN or wireless connection. Note: if youve changed the IP address from the factory default value, then correspondingly change the IP address in the ping parameter shown above. Figure 3-15. DOS Window Showing Ping Utility If the Ping times out or reports excessive data loss, then re-check your cabling and ensure there is power to the AirMAX Power Injector. If the IP still wont Ping, read the Symptom and Ready table shown next. Installation and Configuration Configuration Troubleshooting 53 Table 2. Symptom and Remedy Actions Symptom or Condition If the browser does not load the AirMAX configuration web page when its IP address is entered Remedy or Action Ping the CPE/BTS from the PC (type Ping <IP> from DOS). Check that the PC running the web browser is configured for the same network as the CPE/BTS being configured (check IP, subnet mask, and router IP, on both CPE/BTS and PC) and inspect physical cabling and connections. CPE/BTS wont Ping from PC
(packets arent returnedPing times out) Check that the CPE/BTS is properly connected via the Power Injector ethernet cable and that the Power Injector power adapter is connected to AC power. CPE/BTS wont respond to Ping from PC and cabling has been verified Ensure you are using the proper IP address for the CPE/BTS system. If it is fresh from Malibu Networks, it will have the default IP address of 192.168.1.1. If it has been changed, you will need to find out the value it has been changed to. 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n 54 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration Table 2. Symptom and Remedy Actions Symptom or Condition Ethernet works, but the radio modem does not Remedy or Action If you can Ping the CPE or BTS from the LAN side, but a PC on another CPE or BTS within the cell area cannot Ping it, then its radio modem may not be working. Enter the IP number of the suspected CPE/BTS from a PC browser attached to its local LAN and then if the AirMAX configuration pages load up, then verify it has a matching SSID value, verify the CELL ID as reported by the BTS is detected by the CPE, check signal strength, ensure power level is at maximum, and if those measures dont remedy the problem, then try rebooting the CPE/
BTS. Also, verify that a subscriber and appropriate rule(s) have been configured for that CPE (see QoS Management From the BTS, presented earlier in this Chapter) Diagnosing CPE Startup Failures Installation and Configuration Configuration Troubleshooting 55 If you are looking at the Status screen for a CPE as it starts up (run a web browser with the CPEs IP address entered in URL field and Status link selected), youll see a series of messages. The messages run through a specific cycle as the CPE initializes and becomes part of the network. If the CPE halts at a particular message, it can sometimes help you diagnose problem causes. Status Message Area 3 C o n f i g u r a t i o n Figure 3-16. CPE Status Page The messages and the order in which they occur, is as follows:
1. Initializing... 2. Searching for Cell ID 3. Initializing WAN 4. Initializing WEP keys 56 Malibu Networks AirMAX 580/5800 CPE/BTS Chapter 3: Configuration 5. Provisioning The system could also display a status message of WIRELESS DOWN somewhere during this sequence as well. If the CPE halts or freezes up at one of these messages, it could mean:
Message Displayed When Frozen Initializing... Searching for Cell ID Initializing WAN Initializing WEP keys Provisioning WIRELESS DOWN Possible Meaning Serious system problem. Notify Malibu Networks and report occurrence. BTS could be turned off or down. Check the CPE SSID setting and antenna direction/positioning. Also check for physical obstructions. SSID is okay if youve gotten this far; the problem may be inadequate signal strength or quality due to antenna obstructions or terrain. The system should never become frozen on this message. If it occurs, notify Malibu Networks. Wait quite awhile for this message to pass, especially if your system has a lot of CPEs. If it remains stuck, try rebooting the CPE in question. The CPEs RF modem is off. Appendix A Specifications Specification Tables AirMAXTM 580/5800 BTS and CPE performance specifications are listed in tables throughout this Appendix.

The standard specifies two pairs of unshielded twisted pair wire for 100BaseTX. 10BaseT implements the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard over unshielded twisted-pair wiring using a star topology, with stations directly connected to a multiport hub. It runs at 10Mbits/sec and has a maximum segment length of 100 meters. An IEEE standard for wireless networking. An address is a unique code assigned to a network device. A bit mask used to select bits from an Internet address for subnet addressing. The mask is 32 bits long and selects the network portion of the Internet address and one or more bits of the local portion. Sometimes called subnet mask. Malibu Networks AirMAX CPE/BTS Appendix C: Glossary C-64 AirMAX Backbone Bandwidth Base Transceiver Station (BTS) Bit Error Rate Broadband Malibu Networks wireless broadband access system comprised of a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) that transmits to and from one or more customer premises (CPE) units. Both CPE and BTS units are functionally similar in that they are made up of an antenna, controller card, radio modem and power supply (items contained in ODU and Power Injector units). The primary connectivity path of a hierarchical distributed network. All systems with connectivity to an intermediate system on the backbone are assured of connectivity to each other. Systems can set up private data transfers with each other to bypass the backbone, reducing backbone traffic and providing security. Bandwidth is the difference in MHz between the highest and lowest frequency a channel can conduct. The term also is commonly used to communicate throughput, typically measured in Kbits/sec or Mbps. Transmits to and from one or more customer premises (CPE) systems. A measure of transmission quality generally shown as a negative exponent. Any network that multiplexes multiple independent carriers on a single cable. This is done using frequency-division multiplexing. Broadband technology prevents traffic on one network from interfering with another, because the transfers happen on different frequencies. Broadcast A packet-delivery system where a copy of a given packet is given to all hosts attached to the network (such as Ethernet). Buffer BW Cache Category 5 Coaxial Cable Memory used to temporarily store data that compensates for differences in device transfer rates. Bandwidth. A numerical measurement of throughput for a system or network. A portion of RAM used for temporary storage of data which must be accessed very quickly. The EIA/TIA 568 standard certifies Category 5 up to 100MHz. Coaxial cable has an inner conductor surrounded by insulation and wrapped in metal screen. Customer Premises Equipment End user equipment that resides on the customer's premise which may not be owned by the local exchange carrier. CRC DHCP DNS Domain Installation and Configuration Glossary of Terms C-65 Cyclic Redundancy Check. An algorithm that computes a numerical value based on the bits in a block of data to insure the accurate delivery of data Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) provides a method for automatic IP address allocation via a DHCP server that manages addresses.

The radio modem and circuit board inside have flash memory and a standalone CPU that can intelligently communicate with other systems. Remote management software configures and controls the ODU. A link to an outside network node. A base unit of data. In networking, a packet defines the syntax of data transmitted to and from an application. A packet scheduler determines when packets are sent to an intermediate router or final destination, as determined by your route and QoS selection. Self-checking code that uses binary digits to indicate whether the total number of ones (or zeros) in each coded expression are always even or odd. Checks may be made for even, odd, or no parity (checks not performed). Logical nodes grouped to create a routing hierarchy. Nodes can directly begin communication with each other in a peer-to-
peer architecturewithout an intermediary. A tangible physical link that provides a connection between two switching systems. Physical Medium are actual physical interfaces such as DS1, E1, DS2, E3, DS3, E4, FDDI-based, Fiber Channel-based, STS-1, STS-3c, STS-12c, STM-1, STM-4, and STP. These mediums range from 1.544Mbps through 622.08 Mbps in data rate. Packet internet groper. A utility program that tests whether destinations can be reached by sending them an ICMP echo request and then waiting for a reply. Ping is a useful utility to check whether equipment is performing and connected properly on the network. Ping clients are available for the PC, Macintosh, and Unix computers. Power-Over-Ethernet Cable. This is a category 5 Ethernet cable that also includes power in addition to data signals. The cable is a single interconnect between the ODU and the Power Injector which supplies the Ethernet connection from the LAN and the power via an AC adapter that attaches to the Power Injector. Malibu Networks supplies PoE cables in various lengths. Point of Presence
