The companys industry leading R&D team has designed wireless networking protocols to support their cutting edge Wave Relay system and technology. Wave Relay is capable of running real-time data, video, voice and other applications under the most difficult and unpredictable conditions. Their suite of products is field proven and utilized in Commercial, Military, Government, Industrial, Agriculture, Mining, Oil and Gas, Robotics, and Unmanned System markets. The Wave Relay System is a peer-to-peer wireless MANET networking solution in which there is no master node. If any device fails, the rest of the devices continue to commu nicate using any remaining connectivity. By eliminating master nodes, gateways, access points, and central coordinators from the design, Wave Relay delivers high levels of fault tolerance regardless of which nodes might fail. The system is designed to maximize the capacity of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum and to minimize the network overhead. While optimizing efficiency, Wave Relay also implements tech niques that increase multicast reliability. The advanced multicast functionality allows the system to support both multicast voice and video over IP. Wave Relay is designed to maintain high bandwidth con nectivity among devices that are on the move. The system is scalable, enabling it to incorporate unlimited meshed devices into the wireless network, where the devices themselves form the communication infrastructure. Even in high ly dynamic environments, the system is able to maintain connectivity by rapidly re-routing data. Wave Relay self-form and self-heal as nodes move unpredictably throughout the network, and Wave Relay routing adapts in less than a second to fluctuations in topology and other environmental conditions, continuously maximizing the communication performance. Due to Wave Relays architecture, deploying the system and establishing the network are as easy as plugging in an Ethernet cable. The system operates on the data link layer (OSI Layer 2) rather than the network layer (Layer 3), facilitating plug-
and-play operation. Wave Relay is a seamless wireless networking system offering a dynamic and reliable solution for all mobile networking needs. Wave Relay offers all of these capabilities in an inte grated and cost-effective package. 5 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved 5 5 8 10 11 12 14 15 16 17 18 20 21 22 23 24 26 27 32 36 36 37 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Persistent Systems, LLC Device Hardware Introduction Man Portable Unit Gen4 Man Portable Unit Gen3 Single Quad Radio Router Man Portable Unit Gen3 Dual AID Device Operation Pushbutton/LED Operation Configuration Web Management Overview Web Management Introduction Accessing the Web Management Interface Configuring Your Computers IP Address Security Certificate Warnings Initial Node Configuration Steps for Configuring the First Node Steps for Configuring Remaining Nodes Node List Network vs. Managed Nodes Defined Network Upgrade 6 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved TABLE OF CONTENTS Web Management Interface Reference Node Status Node Configuration Creating a Master Configuration File Quick Setup Reset to Factory Configuration Tracking Antenna Control Push-To-Talk (PTT) RS-232 Date/Time Amplifier Configuration Network Status Network Configuration Network Node List Network Defaults Security Wave Relay API Troubleshooting Common Problems And Troubleshooting Symptom 1: Nodes Are Unale To Communicate Symptom 2: Poor/Low Throughput Symptom 3: Multicast Traffic Not Forwarding Correctly Hardware Details Man Portable Unit Gen4 Man Portable Unit Gen3 Quad Radio Router Sector Array Kit Tracking Antenna System Regulatory Information Change History 38 39 48 61 63 64 65 67 71 75 77 79 87 88 89 101 104 106 107 109 110 110 112 114 122 130 135 137 142

Nodes can be configured by using the Web Management Interface or through the Management API. Follow the steps under Initial Node Configuration to put the nodes into an opera-
tional state. The basic steps required to configure a node to an operational state are:
Set encryPtion key A key must be set in order for a node to communicate with other nodes in the net-
work. In order for two nodes to communicate, they must share a matching encryp-
tion key and crytpo mode. Set channel Each radio module on a node should be assigned a center frequency and channel width. In order for two nodes to communicate, each node must have at least one radio that shares the same center frequency and channel width. Set iP addreSS During node configuration, a node needs to be assigned a unique management IP address. This management IP address is used for monitoring, configuration, and device services (PTT, Google Earth, Tracking, RS-232, etc.). In the event that two nodes are unable to communicate after initial configuration, refer to the Troubleshooting section starting on page 104. 18 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved 19 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved WEB MANAGEMENT OvERvIEW 20 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved WEB MANAGEMENT OvERvIEW WEB MANAGEMENT INTRODUCTION The Wave Relay Web Management Interface enables users to configure and monitor Wave Relay units through a web browser. A navigation bar organizes the Management Interface. The Node Status and Node Configuration tabs pertain only to the node to which the management computer is connected
(either by Ethernet cable or by wireless), and the Network Status and Network Configuration tabs pertain to the entire network of nodes. 21 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved WEB MANAGEMENT OvERvIEW ACCESSING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE node connectivity inforMation Default Management Password Ethernet 1 Factory Setup IP Ethernet 2 Factory Setup IP Factory Setup IP addresses are always accessible when directly connected to the radio.

A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 means that the computer can communicate with another device that has an IP address matching the first three numbers of its own IP address. No Default Gateway or DNS server configuration is required; however they can be configured if necessary. Most computers are capable of having more then one IP address configured on a single Ethernet adapter. It is recommended that you add all three addresses to your wired Ethernet adapter so that you can easily manage your network. linux:

Any function that resides under Network Status or Network Configuration operates on, and only on, the nodes listed in the node list. NETWORk vS MANAGED NODES DEFINED In the context of Wave Relay, the network is defined as the set of nodes for which routing is possible. These nodes do not need to be specified in the Node List. By contrast, the Node List defines a set of Managed Nodes that are managed by the network operations in the Web Management Interface. That list, however, does not restrict connectivity between nodes specified in the Node List and nodes not specified in the Node List. Therefore, the Node List is just a management tool that defines the list of nodes on which network management functions operate. In general, the Node List should be updated whenever the network changes in order to ensure that every node has complete and current information and is able to be monitored and controlled by the network operations in the Web Management Interface. 36 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION NETWORk UpGRADE Network Upgrade installs new firmware versions on large numbers of nodes with one operation. Since network upgrades function on all nodes in the Node List, make sure the Node List is complete and current before performing a Network Upgrade. 1. Click Network Configuration > Network Upgrade. 2. Browse and select the appropriate upgrade file. 3. Check or uncheck Require All. If checked, the update will be installed if and only if all the nodes in the Node List are accessible. If unchecked, the update will be installed to only those nodes in the Node List that are accessible. Network Upgrades will cause nodes to be reconfigured, an operation that causes a period of downtime. Do not perform Network Upgrades during mission critical operations that cannot tolerate such disruptions. Under such situations, perform Network Upgrades only during scheduled maintenance or other appropriate times. 4. Click the Upload button to upgrade firmware for all nodes in the Node List. NOTE: When upgrading or downgrading a nodes firmware, it is normal for the LED to turn off for 30 seconds then turn on. Do not unnecessarily disturb devices during a Network Upgrade. Loss of power during the Network Upgrade can permanently damage a device. To receive the latest firmware update:

If the radio is configured to use a Network Default channel, the radios channel assignment can be managed globally by clicking Network Configuration > Network Defaults. Ensure that the frequency is set to match the radio installed in the unit. A warning will be displayed if the frequency setting does not match the radio hardware. Each radio should be assigned a bandwidth. Two radios must be set to the same bandwidth in order to communicate. Bandwidth should be increased for shorter distances and decreased for increased distances. The Max Link Distance should be set to the upper bound of how long any individual link in the network may need to be. All nodes on the net-
work MUST be set to the same Max Link Distance. The channel density setting controls how aggressively the radios compete for access to the shared medium. A number of nodes will be displayed in parentheses after each menu item. Choose the menu item that corre-
sponds to the number of nodes in your network. Radio Preference Radio Preference instructs the routing protocol to prefer links on a radio

(advanced) MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION Max Transmit Power will control the radios maximum output power. In general, this configuration is only used to reduce the output power of a radio for regulatory compliance reasons. The factory default setting should provide the best communication performance (highest power) in all other situations. A custom MAC address may be used for this radio. The entered value MUST be different from ALL other radio MAC addresses used in the same network or with the same encryption key. All radios are factory configured with a globally unique MAC. Since the MAC address is unencrypted, using a custom MAC that is periodically changed can help prevent identification and tracking of the same device across multiple uses. 51 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE acceSS Point SettinGS
(advanced) MENU ITEM 802.11 Access Point
(advanced) MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz radios can be configured to function as an 802.11 access point. Standard clients such as laptops with built in 802.11 cards may access this system. If the AP is disabled, the ESSID and Beacon Interval configuration options have no effect. For maximum performance, always disable the 802.11 AP unless it is required. To use a radio as a 802.11 Access Point, the radio MUST be set to a valid 802.11 frequency and the channel width MUST be set to 20MHz. The following fields are only visible when the 802.11 Access Point is Enabled. Mesh Routing (ad-
vanced) The Mesh Routing setting enables per radio selection of which radios participate in the multi-hop mesh routing process. In a multi-radio node where the user may only want the mesh running on the backhaul radios, this setting enables the user to specifically disable the mesh on the client access radios. Be aware that if a node is only accessible via the mesh and mesh routing is disabled, connection will be lost to that node. Sets the name of the network that the access point advertises to clients. The ESSID can be configured to be Visible or Hidden. Generally, the ESSID is configured to be Visible to make it easy for clients to connect to the access point. For additional security/
privacy the ESSID can be configured as Hidden. Enables or disables 802.11 security on the Access Point - Only WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access v2 with pre-shared keys) is supported. Sets a shared passphrase when AP Security is set to WPA2 - The passphrase should be an ASCII string of length 8-63 characters, excluding these characters: ,\&/<>
Controls the rate at which broadcasts are transmitted from an 802.11 Access Point - Increasing this rate can significantly increase network capacity but will reduce the range of client con-
nectivity. If the rate is set too high, client devices will have trouble receiving broadcast packets from the 802.11 access point. ESSID (advanced) ESSID Visibility

The default setting is Enabled, i.e. the MANET traffic is available on the Ethernet port. Note: the permanent factory IP address for the node is still available on the Ethernet port, regardless of this setting. In addition, two Wave Relay nodes connected via wired Ethernet can still communicate via encrypted link regardless of this setting. Each Ethernet interface is a VLAN-aware bridge port. Each port is assigned a VLAN ID. Untagged frames received by the port are tagged with the specified VLAN ID. Frames that are sent by the port which have a VLAN tag matching the specified VLAN ID will have their tags removed (i.e. they are sent by the port untagged). 53 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE VLAN Priority

DLEP is used to transmit characteristics and metrics of the wireless network to a connected DLEP-capable router such as the Cisco 5915. This feature is available on all Wave Relay versions. It supports DLEP Draft 00. The Wave Relay MANET operates at Layer 2 of the OSI mode. The DLEP protocol runs between a router and its attached Wave Relay device, allowing the Wave Relay to communicate link characteristics as they change, and convergence events
(acquisition and loss of potential Layer 3 (L3) routing neighbors). Upon receipt of the signal, the local router may take whatever action it deems appropriate, such as initiating L3 discovery protocols, and/or issuing HELLO messages to converge the network on L3. On a continuing, as-needed basis, the Wave Relay devices utilize DLEP to report any characteristics of the link (bandwidth, latency, etc)to the L3 router that have changed. DLEP is independent of the link type and topology supported by the Wave Relay. DLEP (advanced): Enable/disable the DLEP subsystem. Local UDP Port (advanced): UDP port on the Wave Relay to receive DLEP traffic Router IP Address (advanced): Network address of the DLEP-capable router.

A typical application is for a local PC to control a distant pan/tilt camera via a serial link. If the PC and camera cannot be colocated, then two Wave Relay devices can be used to connect them (similar to an old-fashioned modem-to-modem link). Thus, the serial port on the local PC can be hardwired to a local Wave Relay device and the serial port on the distant camera can be hardwired to a distant Wave Relay device. Communication between the two devices is then relayed via the Wave Relay network. This is called serial-to-serial mode. Alternatively, the PC can run emulation software that allows it to create a local virtual COM port that is configured to communicate directly with a distant network-
enabled serial port (e.g. as described in RFC 2217). Thus, the distant camera is hardwired to a distant Wave Relay device and the local PC can then connect directly to the distant device via Ethernet. This is called virtual-to-serial mode. To access RS-232 configuration settings, click Node Configuration > RS-232 Configuration. 71 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE confiGurinG Serial-to-Serial Mode 1. Connect the serial device to be controlled (e.g. pan/tilt unit) to the serial port on the distant Wave Relay device. Configure the RS-232 Configuration Mode on the distant Wave Relay device to Server and set the Serial-over-Ethernet Port as desired. Set the Serial-over-Ethernet Protocol to Raw. Set the serial port parameters (Baud, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control) to match those of the connected serial device (factory defaults for the Wave Relay device are 57600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control). Click Save to store the settings. 2. Connect the local serial device (e.g. PC) to the serial port on the local Wave Relay device. Set the RS-232 Configuration Mode on the local Wave Relay device to Client, and set the Server IP Address and Serial-over-Ethernet Port to be those of the distant Wave Relay device as configured in Step 1 above. Also set the serial parameters (Baud, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control) to match those of your local serial device. Click Save to store the settings. confiGurinG virtual-to-Serial Mode 1. Connect and configure the serial device to be controlled (e.g. pan/tilt unit) as 2. per Step 1 above for Configuring Serial-to-Serial mode. Set the Serial-over-
Ethernet Protocol to whichever protocol is supported by your virtual client
(Raw or Telnet RFC 2217). Install Virtual COM port software on the local PC (Eltima Serial to Ethernet Connector v5.0 for Windows has been tested and is known to work). Configure the virtual COM port in your software to connect to the distant serial port via the address/port as configured in Step 1.

Statistics are displayed for transmitted and received bytes to/from the attached serial device, which can be used to debug the connection to your serial hardware. For example, if the tx byte count increases but the rx byte count remains zero, bytes are being sent out on the Wave Relay serial port but no reply is being received (possibly due to reversed transmit and receive wires in your cable). To update the status and statistics, click the Refresh button. 73 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE rS-232 confiGuration MENU ITEM Mode Disabled Server Client Echo Mode Serial Port Serial-over-Ethernet TCP Port Server IP Address Serial-over-Ethernet Protocol Raw MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION The serial-over-Ethernet feature is turned off.

This setting requires that the RS-
232 parameters (baud, parity, etc.) be set correctly at both ends. This setting is typically used in serial-to-serial mode, e.g. when a hardware serial controller is used to control a remote serial device. Serial messages are encapsulated into packets as per RFC2217, and baud settings are automatically controlled by the protocol. This setting is typically used in serial-to-virtual mode, e.g. when a PC with virtual COM ports is used to control a remote serial device. Valid settings are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. Valid settings are 7 or 8 bits. Valid settings are None, Even, or Odd. Valid settings are 1 or 2 bits.

However, in cases where the GPS is unlocked (or absent), you may alternatively specify an NTP server or manually set the current date and time. You may also set the local time zone. The default time zone is UTC (a.k.a. GMT or Zulu time). Note that some Wave Relay device models do not contain a clock, and thus these settings may be unavailable. Wave Relay also supports a sleep feature that allows scheduling remote unit power down and power up in order to conserve battery life and/or maintain radio silence. Sleep can be performed as a one-time power cycle or can be scheduled for repetitive daily or hourly operation. The sleep feature is not available on all Wave Relay device models.

Bandwidth should be increased for shorter distances and decreased for increased distances. Max Link Distance should be set to the upper bound of how long any individual link in the network may need to be. All nodes on the network MUST be set to the same Max Link Distance. A node with a radio channel set to Network Default X in node configuration will automatically change Max Link Distance if the settings for Network Default X are changed in Network Default configuration. The channel density setting controls how aggressively the radios compete for access to the shared medium. A number of nodes will be displayed in parentheses after each menu item.

(may be either a multicast address [224.0.0.0,239.255.255.255] or the unicast address of a device running the visualization server.) - The factory default is a multicast address. When using multicast, each node sends visualization updates to the entire connected network. All nodes run a visualization server and receive updates from all other connected nodes. When using unicast, each node sends visualization updates to the selected address only. If the unicast address is the management IP address of a node, that node will run a visualization server to receive the updates. Visualization updates are sent from the management IP address, so the selected address must be reachable by all nodes with visualization enabled; it should be either in the same subnet or reachable through the default gateway. Multicast operation allows the most robust visualization for mobile networks because it provides true distributed operation with partitions and merges. Unicast operation requires all visualization users to be able to contact the selected server, but offers reduced network overhead for larger static networks. curSor on tarGet (cot) SettinGS

A typical application is for a PC to control a remotely located pan/tilt camera via a serial link. Two operational modes are supported:
serial-to-serial mode and virtual-to-serial mode. For further description, see RS-232 Configuration Help. MENU ITEM Mode Disabled Server MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION Client Echo Mode Serial Port (advanced) Serial-over-Ethernet TCP Port (advanced) Server IP Address (ad-

Use this mode when the device to be controlled (e.g. pan/tilt unit) is connected to a Wave Relay device serial port. Use this mode when a controller (e.g. PC) is connected to a Wave Relay device serial port. Instructs the serial port to retransmit any received serial data out on its transmit pin (useful for debugging serial connections in cases where Rx/Tx pins might be accidentally reversed in the cable) Selects the primary or secondary RS-232 port on the Wave Relay. Defines the TCP port for serial-over-Ethernet traffic Defines the default IP address of the serial-over-Ethernet server Serial messages are encapsulated into packets and are transmitted unaltered over the network. This setting requires that the RS-232 parameters (baud, parity, etc.) be set correctly at both ends. This setting is typically used in serial-to-serial mode, e.g. when a hardware serial controller is used to control a remote serial device. Serial messages are encapsulated into packets as per RFC2217, and baud settings are automatically controlled by the protocol. This setting is typically used in serial-to-virtual mode, e.g. when a PC with virtual COM ports is used to control a remote serial device. Valid settings are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. Valid settings are 7 or 8 bits. Valid settings are None, Even, or Odd. Valid settings are 1 or 2 bits.

Reconfigure immediately forces the network to apply the new settings and reboot immediately. Require all ensures all nodes in the managed node list receive the updated values or all will fail and not update. SECURITY StatuS The Status box indicates the current security configuration. Operational means a valid key is set and Wave Relay is operational. If Wave Relay is NOT operational, then the node will not communicate with any other nodes, and its management in-
terface can only be accessed via connection to the Ethernet 1 interface. The Security tab on the navigation bar will have a red background and blink when the current status is not Operational. 101 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE Error: no security configuration will be displayed if a node is booted without a key set. An error will also be displayed if the key has been zeroized (see below). The current key, if one is set, can be viewed by selecting Display Key. Since the key is displayed in plaintext, view the key in a secure environment only. The Display Key feature indicates the current Crypto Mode, Size, and Value of the key. Set key The Set Key box enables users to change the current security configuration. Changes can be applied to the current node only or to all the nodes in the Network as specified by the Node List. Ensure all nodes are running the latest firmware before making changes to the security configuration. 1. From the Update menu, select whether to update only the currently managed node (Node) or all nodes on the network. The network (require all) setting will change security settings for all nodes in the network and will require all nodes in the network be available for any changes to be applied. If not all nodes are available, no changes will be applied. The network (any available) setting will change security settings for all available nodes on the network. Nodes that are not available will NOT be updated. Crypto Mode 256-bit AES-CTR with HMAC-SHA-512 256-bit AES-

The available set of crypto modes depends on the nodes hardware capabilities. Newer Wave Relay products have extra hardware to support additional Suite-B algorithms (SHA-2 family and GCM) in comparison to older Wave Relay products, which do not. If you have a network of only older hardware, 256-bit AES-CTR with HMAC-SHA-1 will be your only choice. If you have a network with a mix of older and newer hardware, you should 102 2010 - 2015 Persistent Systems, LLC All Rights Reserved WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE select the Backwards Compatible: 256-bit AES-CTR with HMAC-SHA-1 mode on the units with newer hardware; this will allow all the nodes in the network to communicate. If you have a network with only newer hardware you can select any of the three modes. We recommend 256-bit AES-CTR with HMAC-
SHA-512 as the mode with the greatest security margin. 256-bit AES-GCM is an alternate full Suite-B mode that can also be used based on user preference. 3. Once the Crypto Mode is set, enter a key value into the field and click the Set button, or click the Generate button to generate a random key. The new key information is stored to the node or the network. zeroize The Zeroize box enables users to erase the key configuration on an individual node or on the entire network as specified by the Node List. When a node is zeroized, all traces of the current key are erased so that the key can no longer be recovered from the unit. Once a node has been zeroized, it cannot participate in any Wave Relay network until it is re-keyed using the Set Key function. 1. From the Update menu, select whether to update only the currently managed node (Node) or all nodes on the network. The network (require all) setting will zeroize the security configuration for all nodes in the network and will require all nodes in the network be available for any changes to be applied. If not all nodes are available, no changes will be applied. The network (any available) setting will zeroize the security configuration for all available nodes on the network. Nodes that are not available will NOT be updated. 2. Clicking the Zeroize Key button will erase the packet encryption key only. Clicking the Zeroize All Configuration button will erase not only the key but also the management password and the public/private key-pair used to connect to the Web Management Interface. If the Zeroize All Configuration button is clicked, the node(s) will also reboot. 3. To access the Web Management Interface after the Zeroize All Configuration button has been clicked and the node has rebooted, the user will need to accept a newly generated certificate and use the factory password to log into the Web Management Interface. Security featureS Tamper Response: This menu enables or disables tamper detection. If tamper detection is enabled, disassembly of the Wave Relay enclosure will cause a complete zeroize of the security configuration, including the encryption key, the management password, and the public/private key-pair used to connect to the Web Management Interface.
