Base Station EquipmentBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 51.2 Base Station EquipmentThe Multi Carrier, High Power, Full Duplex Base Station provides all the functionality necessary to communicate with SUs and to connect to the backbone of the Service Provider. The Base Station comprises the following elements:1.2.1 Base Station ChassisThe Base Station equipment is based on an 8U high cPCI (compact Peripheral Component Interconnect) shelf designed for installation in a 19" or 21" (ETSI) rack. This chassis has a total of nine double Euro (6U high) slots and six single Euro (3U high) slots. All the modules are hot swappable, and high availability can be provided through multiple redundancy schemes.The six single Euro slots re intended for one or two redundant Power Interface Units (PIU) and up to four redundant Power Supply Units (PSUs). One of the double Euro slots is dedicated to the Network Processing Unit (NPU) module, supporting a central networking and management architecture. Another double Euro slot is reserved for an optional redundant NPU (NPU redundancy support is planned for a future release). The remaining seven double Euro slots are dedicated mainly for Access Unit (AU) indoor modules, thus enabling various future redundancy configurations. Additionally, the Base Station chassis contains an air convection and ventilation fan tray (AVU).1.2.2 Network Processing Unit (NPU)The Network Processing Unit is the "heart" of the BreezeMAX Base Station. The NPU module serves as the central processing unit that manages the base station's components and the SUs served by it. It also aggregates the traffic from the AU modules and transfers it to the IP Backbone through a dedicated Gigabit/Fast Ethernet interface. The NPU main functions are:
6System DescriptionChapter 1 - System DescriptionAggregate backbone Ethernet connectivity via a 100/1000 Base-T network interface.Traffic classification and connection establishment initiation.Policy based data switching.Service Level Agreements management.RADIUS NAS, enabling centralized SUs’ authentication and services authorization by RADIUS server(s).Centralized agent in the Base Station to manage all cell site's AUs and all registered SUs.Base Station overall operation control, including AU diagnostic and control, PSU monitoring, AVU management and redundancy support.Alarms management, including external alarm inputs and activation of external devices (future option).Synchronization, including GPS antenna interface, clock and IF reference generation and distribution to the Base Station modules as well as to other collocated Base Station chassis (future option).An SNMP agent incorporated into the NPU enables extensive In Band (IB) management of the Base Station and all its registered SUs. Out Of Band (OOB) management is supported through a dedicated 10/100 Base-T interface. A serial RS-232 port supports local configuration, monitoring and debugging.Two NPU modules can be used to provide a 1+1 redundancy scheme. The redundancy mechanism, to be supported in future releases, will be based on a Master <-> Slave principle, where the slave is in passive mode and is constantly updating all the learning tables and networking parameters of the master card.1.2.3 Access Unit (AU-IDU)The double Euro AU-IDU module contains the WiMAX-ready MAC and modem and is responsible for the wireless network connection establishment and for bandwidth management. Each AU-IDU connects to the NPU via the back plane. In addition, each AU-IDU connects to all other AU slots via the back plane over a shared bus.
Base Station EquipmentBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 7Each AU-IDU includes four channels using a common PHY and MAC that can connect to up to four outdoor radio units, according to the selected diversity mode (refer to Section 1.2.5 below for more details). The AU-IDU module connects to the AU-ODUs via Intermediate Frequency (IF) cables carrying full duplex data, control and management signals between the AU-IDU and the AU-ODU, as well as power (-48 VDC) and 64 MHz synchronization reference clock from the AU-IDU to the AU-ODU. The IF Tx and Rx frequencies are 240 MHz and 140 MHz, respectively. IDU-ODU service channel at 14 MHz serves for bi-directional control, status and management signaling.1.2.4 AU-ODU-HPThe AU-ODU-HP (High Power ODU) is a full duplex multi-carrier radio unit that connects to an external antenna. It is designed to provide high system gain and interference robustness utilizing high transmit power and low noise figure. It supports a bandwidth of up to 14 MHz, enabling future options such as increased capacity through either larger channels or using an IF multiplexer.The AU-ODU-HP provides a maximum output power of 36 dBm.1.2.5 Base Station Radio ConfigurationsThe 4-Channels High-Power AU-IDUs support the following radio configurations:1.2.5.1 Single Channel per AU, No DiversityThis is the basic configuration, where each AU-IDU connects to one ODU, serving a single sector with a directional antenna.1.2.5.2 Multiple Channels per AU, No DiversityUp to 4 channels per AU-IDU can be used to cover several sectors, where each channel connects to one ODU, with one ODU per sector. A single AU-IDU can cover a 360° cell. Where the coverage of the cell can be built from 3 sectors of 120° each with frequency reuse 1, or 4 sectors of 90° each with frequency reuse 1 (i.e. frequency per sector) or 1/2 (i.e. 2 frequencies for 4 sectors where each frequency is used for 2 opposite sectors). All ODUs served by the same AU-IDU share a common MAC and modem. Each ODU is managed separately.
8System DescriptionChapter 1 - System DescriptionThe following figure describes the multi channel use to cover a cell of 360° with 4 sectors, using frequency reuse 1:The following figure describes the multi channel use to cover a cell of 360° with 4 sectors, using frequency reuse 1/2:1.2.5.3 2nd Order DiversityMultiple channel configuration with second order diversity allows coverage of one sector with space diversity by a single AU-IDU and two ODUs connected to channels 1 and 2. The same frequency and transmit power are set for both ODUs. The two ODUs served by the same AU-IDU share a common MAC and modem.
Base Station EquipmentBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 91.2.5.4 4th Order DiversityMultiple channel configuration with fourth order diversity allows a single sector coverage by a single AU-IDU with 4 ODUs. In each sector, both space and polarization diversities are implemented, using dual polarization slant antennas. The channels are paired: channels 1 and 2 form one pair, channels 3 and 4 form the second pair. The two ODUs connected to each pair are connected to the same dual polarization antenna. The same frequency and transmit power are set for all four ODUs. All ODUs served by the same AU-IDU share a common MAC and modem.1.2.6 Power FeederThe Base station’s PIU can support a maximum current of 35 A (@-40.5 VDC). Using proper design considerations, up to six AU-ODU-HP units can be powered directly from the Base Station (via the back panel and AU-IDUs). The ODU Power Feeder is used as an additional power source providing power (-48 VDC) to AU-ODU-HP High Power ODUs. It transfers transparently all signals between the AU-IDU and the ODU, while injecting DC power received from an external source. Each ODU Power Feeder unit can serve up to four High Power ODUs. Up to three ODU Power Feeder units can be installed in a 1U high Power Feeder panel.The following table displays the number of ODUs and Power Feeder modules required for various radio configurations:
10 System DescriptionChapter 1 - System Description1.2.7 Power Interface Unit (PIU)The single Euro PIU module is the interface between the Base Station site's DC power source and the Base Station chassis PSUs and external AU ODUs, which receive power via the AU-IDUs. The PIU filters and stabilizes the Base Station input power and protects the system from power problems such as over voltage, surge pulses, reverse polarity connection and short circuits. It also filters high frequency interference (radiated emissions) and low frequency interference (conducted emissions) to the external power source. Each Base Station chassis contains two slots for an optional 1+1 PIU redundancy. One PIU is sufficient to support a fully populated chassis. Two PIU modules provide redundant power feeding (two input sources) while avoiding current flow between the two input sources.1.2.8 Power Supply Unit (PSU)The single Euro PSU module is a 48 VDC power supply unit. Each Base Station chassis can contain up to four PSU modules providing N+1 redundancy configurations.Table 1-2 displays the number of PSU modules (excluding redundant units) required for various Base Station configurations without NPU redundancy (one NPU):Table 1-1: Number of AU-IDUs, AU-ODUs and Power Feeders Required for Various ConfigurationsDiversity Mode Number of Sectors (AU-IDUs) Number of ODUs Number of Power FeedersSecond Order Diversity 3 6 -48 16122Fourth Order Diversity 3 12 241636245
Base Station EquipmentBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 111.2.9 Air Ventilation Unit (AVU)The 2U high AVU includes a 1U high integral chamber for inlet airflow and a 1U high fan tray with an internal alarm module. To support high availability Base Station, the fan tray includes 10 brush-less fans, where 9 fans are sufficient for cooling a fully loaded chassis. A failure in any of the fans is indicated by both the front panel LEDs and a trap that is sent to the management system. To further support high availability, the chassis may operate with the hot-swappable fan tray extracted from it for a period of time sufficient for replacing it (up 10 minutes).1.2.10 GPSGPS is used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located sectors to ensure that in all sectors the air frame will start at the same time, and that all sectors will switch from transmit (downlink) to receive (uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary to prevent Intra-site and Inter-site sectors interference and saturation (assuming that all sectors are operating with the same frame size and with the same DL/UL ratio). The GPS clock required is 1PPS with accuracy of 10-11 and maximum jitter of 100ns. These GPS clock requirements can be reached by indoor or outdoor installed GPS unit when it is synchronized to at least 4 satellites.1.2.10.1 Indoor GPS ReceiverThe Indoor GPS Receiver comprises a GPS receiver integrated with a stable OCXO oscillator, within a unit designed for mounting in a standard 19 inch rack. A 50 meter coaxial cable connects it to an active antenna. The indoor installed GPS system is able to provide up to 40 hours of clock holdover with a maximal drift of 50 microseconds when the GPS system losses satellites synchronization. The Indoor GPS provides 1PPS at TTL levels and the control channel is driven by an RS-232 serial interface. The unit is powered directly from a -48 VDC power source.Table 1-2: PSU Requirements, Configurations with one NPU (excluding PSU redundancy)Number of AU-IDUs Minimum Required Number of PSUs1 - 2 13 - 4 25 - 6 3
12 System DescriptionChapter 1 - System Description1.2.10.2 Outdoor GPS ReceiverThe all-outdoor GPS Receiver is a pole mountable GPS receiver and antenna in a single environmentally protected enclosure. The Outdoor GPS Receiver is powered by a 12 VDC power source, supplied to it by the NPU via the GPS Adapter. The RS-422 interface allows installation at distances up to 100m.1.2.10.3 GPS Adapter UnitThe GPS Adapter connects the different GPS units to the NPU, adapting the different interfaces. Future versions may include an internal GPS module that will allow an all-in-one low-cost solution. A future optional addition of OCXO in the GPS Adapter box may provide an improved hold over solution when the GPS is not synchronized. The GPS Adapter is powered by 12 VDC supplied by the NPU. The GPS Adapter is installed in a 1U high panel (the same panel that is used for the ODU Power Feeders).1.3 Networking EquipmentThe Base Station is connected to the backbone through standard data communication and telecommunication equipment. The NPU aggregates the traffic from all AUs, connecting to the backbone through a 100/1000 Base-T port.point-to-point link from the Base Station to the backbone can be either wired or wireless.1.4 Management SystemsThe end-to-end IP-based architecture of the system enables full management of all components, using standard management tools. An SNMP agent in the NPU/Micro Base Station implements standard and proprietary MIBs for remote setting of operational modes and parameters of the Base Station equipment as well as the Subscriber Units served by it. Security features incorporated in BreezeMAX units restrict the access for management purposes.In addition, the Ethernet WAN can be used to connect to other Operation Support Systems including servers, Customer Care systems and AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Admission) tools.

If a single PIU module is used, it can be inserted into either one of the two available slots.The number of installed PSU modules depends on the specific configuration (number of AUs) and NPU redundancy scheme (refer to Table 2-8). If less than 4 PSU modules are used, they can be installed in any of the designated slots.The NPU should be installed in slot number 5 (slot numbers are marked on the Cable Guide). Slot 6 is reserved for a future redundant NPU.Slots 1-4 and 7-9 can hold up to six AU-IDU modules. Unused slots should remain covered until required.Figure 2-4: BMAX-BST-SH Chassis Slot AssignmentsAir Ventillation UnitCable Tray
Installing the Base Station EquipmentBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 392.2.3 Power RequirementsUse the following table to calculate worst-case power source requirements for the Base Station equipment (see also some examples in Table 1-13):2.2.4 HOT SWAP SupportThe NPU, AU-IDU and new PIU modules includes a blue HOT SWAP LED and a micro-switch in the injector/ejector handle to support hot-swap control. After releasing the ejector's button, the HOT SWAP LED should turn on, indicating that power to/from the back-panel is disconnected and the module can be removed safely. For more details refer to Section 2.2.9.2.2.5 Power Interface Unit (PIU)The single Euro PIU module is the interface between the Base Station site's DC power source and the Base Station Chassis Power Supply Units and external ODUs, which receive power via the IDUs. The PIU filters and stabilizes the Base Station input power and protects the system from power problems such as over voltage, surge pulses, reverse polarity connection and short circuits. It also filters high frequency interference (radiated emissions) and low frequency interference (conducted emissions) to the external Table 2-6: Power Requirements, Base Station EquipmentUnit Details Power Source -40.5 to -60 VDCPIU 16W maximum (active PIU)PSU 200W max output powerEfficiency: 80% minimumNPU 72W maximum, including power required for GPS Adapter (1.2W maximum) and Outdoor GPS Receiver (6W maximum)AU-IDU-4CH 46W maximumAU-ODU-HP 82W maximum (from PIU or Power Feeder)AVU 24W maximumPower Feeder 2W per ChannelNOTEThe PSU(s) do not supply power to the AU-ODUs.

40 InstallationChapter 2 - Installation Guidelinespower source. Each Base Station chassis contains two slots for an optional 1+1 PIU redundancy. One PIU is sufficient to support a fully populated chassis. Two PIU modules provide redundant power feeding (two input sources) while avoiding current flow between the two input sources.Figure 2-5: PIU Module Front PanelNOTEThe HOT SWAP blue LED does not exist in first generation PIUs. CAUTIONIn a first generation PIU (without HOT SWAP LED), disconnect power from the PIU module before inserting/ejecting it to/from the chassis. Before disconnecting the power cable from the PIU, the power source must be disconnected to avoid irreversible damage due to a potential excessively high transient current.In a second generation PIU (with HOT SWAP LED), disconnect power from the PIU module only after it is taken out from the chassis (or after the HOT SWAP LED is turned on). Connect power to the PIU only after it is fully inserted into the chassis.

78 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and Administration4.1 BreezeMAX System ManagementAll BreezeMAX system components associated with a Base Station are managed via the Base Station's NPU module. The other system components (AUs and SUs) are not accessed directly: each configuration change or status enquiry is sent to the NPU that communicates with other system components.The following management options are available:SNMP based management using AlvariSTAR (or another network management system customized to support management of BreezeMAX).Using Telnet to access the embedded Monitor application.Accessing the embedded Monitor application locally via the MON port.Two management access methods are available to support management using SNMP and/or Telnet:Out-Of-Band (OOB) management via the dedicated MGMT port.In-Band (IB) management via the DATA port.Typically, BreezeMAX systems will be managed using AlvariSTAR or another SNMP based network management system.NOTEThe SU can also be managed directly from its Ethernet port using the Installer Monitor program or the built-in Web Server. These options are available to support the installation process and enable special tests and performance monitoring at the SU's site.NOTEIt is not possible to manage the Base Station via the wireless link (from the SU’s side).NOTETo enable remote management of devices behind the SU, including Voice and Networking Gateways, IP connecctivity with the managed device is needed. This is possible only via the Data port.
BreezeMAX System ManagementBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 79This chapter describes how to manage the system using the Monitor application. For information on managing the system using AlvariSTAR refer to the Applicable AlvariSTAR documentation.NOTETo enable remote management (using SNMP and/or Telnet), the parameters of the applicable port (MGMT and/or DATA) must first be configured via the MON port. For details on the applicable parameters refer to Section 4.5.3.1 (Management Port) and Section 4.5.3.2 (Data Port).

Enter the password and press the Enter key to get to the Main menu.4.2.2 Using the Monitor ProgramThis section describes the Monitor program structure and navigation rules.There are three access levels to the Monitor program. The available actions depend on the access level (password) used for accessing the program:Administrator: Read/Write permissions for all parameters. The default password is admin.Installer: Read-only permission for the Services menu, Read/Write permissions for all other options excluding the Change Password option. The default password is installer.Monitor: Read-only permissions for all parameters. The default password is monitor.To access the Monitor program using Telnet:NOTEFollowing three unsuccessful login attempts (using incorrect passwords), the monitor program is blocked for 10 minutes.If you forgot the Installer or Monitor password, the Administrator can login (with the Administrator password) and define a new password for Installer and/or Monitor access level.If you forgot the Administrator password, type "help" to receive a challenge string consisting of 24 characters. Contact Alvarion's Customer Service and provide the challenge string (after user identification) to receive a temporary password. You can use this password only once to enter the program. The password must be changed during the session to a different "permanent" password. The administrator should be notified of this new password. Five consecutive errors in entering the temporary password will invalidate it. In this case, repeat this procedure to receive a new challenge string for a new temporary password.
82 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and AdministrationEach menu or submenu specifies the unit type (BreezeMAX/NPU), the IP address of the port used for accessing the Monitor program (when using the MON port, there is no IP address), the running SW version and a description of the menu.Each menu or submenu displays a list of numbered options.

The algorithm is managed by the AU and optimal values are calculated separately for each SU based on the actual level at which it is received by the AU-ODU. MAP messages transmitted to the SUs include information on the estimated up/down power level change required to achieve optimal transmit power level.The ATPC menu enables viewing/updating the following parameters for all AUs:4.4.2.3.1 ATPC Enable/DisableThe ATPC Enable/Disable parameter controls whether the ATPC algorithm will be used to determine current optimal transmit level for each SU served by the Base Station.The default is Enable.4.4.2.3.2 Optimal Uplink RSSIThe Optimal Uplink RSSI sets the target level at which all transmissions should be received by the AU-ODUs for optimal performance. The range is -103 to -60 (dBm).The default is -69 dBm.4.4.2.4 Cell ParametersThe Cell parameters provide a unique identifier for the Base Station, and they are common to all AUs in the Base Station. Updated Cell parameters are applied for each AU after resetting the AU (or after resetting the NPU, which causes reset of all AUs). The Cell menu enables viewing/updating the following parameters:NOTEThe ATPC algorithm should always be enabled. The option to disable it is available to support certain tests. After each reset, the Base Station boots with the ATPC enabled, disregarding its status before the device was reset.

The same Operator ID must be defined for all Base Stations/Micro Base Stations in the network, and it should not be used by any Base Station/Micro Base Station belonging to another network in the same area.The Operator ID consists of 3 groups of up to three digits each, where the range for each group is 0 to 255.The default Operator ID is 186.190.0.Changes in the value configured for the Operator ID are applied only after reset.4.4.2.4.2 Cell IDA unique identifier of Base Station. The same Cell ID should not be used by any other Base Station/Micro Base Station belonging to the network.The Cell ID consists of 2 groups of up to three digits each, where the range for each group is 0 to 255.The default Cell ID is 0.250.Changes in the value configured for the Cell ID are applied only after reset.4.4.2.5 DuplexThe Duplex parameters define the operation mode of the system. These parameters are applied after reset. The Duplex menu enables viewing/updating the following parameters:4.4.2.5.1 Duplex ModeThe operation mode of the system: TDD or FDD.The default is TDD. In the current release only TDD mode is supported, and the Duplex Mode should not be changed.A change in the configured Duplex Mode is applied only after reset. NOTEIn systems that support only a single mode of operation, any attempt to change the Duplex Mode to a mode that is not supported will be rejected. If there is a mismatch between the configured value and the mode supported by the AUs, a suitable error message and trap will be sent and the system will not become operational until proper configuration is completed.
90 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and Administration4.4.2.5.2 DL-UL RatioApplicable only when the Duplex Mode is set to TDD. Defines the ratio of transmit (Down Link) time to receive (Up Link) time, in percents.The available values are:1: 65-352: 60-403: 55-454: 50-505: 45-556: 40-607: 35-65The default is 65-35 (%).A change in the configured DL-UL Ratio is applied only after reset. 4.4.2.6 ClockThe Clock parameters define the source for the main clocks in the system. These parameters are applied after reset. The Clocks menu enables viewing/updating the following parameters:4.4.2.6.1 External 1PPS ClockThe 1PPS (Pulse Per Second) clock is used to determine the air-frame start time. Assuming that all systems use the same air-frame size and DL/UL Ratio, then, when the 1PPS clock is received from a GPS system, this mechanism ensures inter-site and intra-site synchronization among all sectors, preventing cross interference and saturation problems. When using the internal 1PPS clock (derived from the selected 16 MHz clock source), only intra-site synchronization among sectors can be achieved.The available options are Enable (use external 1PPS clock source) and Disable (use internal 1PPS clock source derived from the selected 16 MHz clock).The default is Enable.CAUTIONThe DL-UL Ratio of all Base Stations in the same coverage area (neighboring cells) must be set to the same value to ensure optimal performance and avoid uplink saturation.
Base Station MenuBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 914.4.2.6.2 External 16 MHz ClockThe 16 MHz clock source is used for generation of all main clocking signals in the system, including the internal 1PPS clock. Using an external, accurate 16 MHz clock source will enable better hold-over of the 1PPS clock upon temporary loss (or reduced reliability when receiving less than 4 satellites) of the external 1PPS clock. This will allow a longer time of continued operation before appearance of interferences due to clock drifts among Base Stations.The available options are Enable (use external 16 MHz clock source) and Disable (use internal 16 MHz clock source).The default is Disable In the current release, external 16 MHz clock from the GPS Adapter is not available.4.4.3 Alarms and TrapsThe Alarms and Traps menu enables viewing the active alarms or the traps log, filtering the displayed traps and enabling/disabling traps.

The available range is from 0 to 86,400 (seconds). 0 means no suppression.Restore Defaults: Enables restoring the Suppression Intervals of all traps to the default value (0).4.4.4 RADIUSManaging a large number of users creates the need for significant administrative support together with careful attention to security, authorization and accounting. The use of RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) enables operators to manage a single database of users, supporting authentication (verifying user name and password) as well as configuration information detailing the type of service to deliver to the user and the traffic that the user transmitted and received, for billing proposes.RADIUS is a protocol for carrying authentication, authorization, and configuration information between a Network Access Server (NAS), which desires to authenticate its links, and a shared Authentication server. A Network Access Server operates as a client of RADIUS. The client is responsible for passing user information to designated RADIUS server(s(, and then acting on the response. RADIUS servers are responsible for receiving user connection requests, authenticating the user, and then returning all configuration information necessary for the client to deliver service to the user. In BreezeMAX systems, a RADIUS NAS is implemented in each Base Station. Transactions between the client and RADIUS server are authenticated using Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) through encryption based on RSA Message Digest Algorithm MD5 and a Shared Secret, which is never sent over the network. The Access-Request is submitted to the RADIUS server via the network. If no response is returned within a length of time, the request is re-sent a number of times. Once the RADIUS server receives the request, it validates the sending client. A request from a client for which the RADIUS server does not have a shared
Base Station MenuBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 95secret must be silently discarded. If the client is valid, the RADIUS server consults a database of users to find the user whose User Name matches the request. The user entry in the database contains the User Password that must be verified.A RADIUS server can be used for authentication purposes only, for accounting purposes only, or for both authentication and accounting purposes. Up to two servers of each type can be defined. Each server of each type (Authentication/accounting) can be defined as either Primary or Secondary. Only one server of each type can be defined as Primary. However, both servers of the same type can be defined as Secondary. If two servers of a certain type are defined, then upon first trial of an authentication/accounting transaction the NPU will attempt to communicate with the Primary server of the relevant type, or with the first Secondary server if no server is defined as Primary (provided the server’s Operation Status is Up). If it cannot communicate with this server, it will attempt communicating with the other server. Upon succeeding to communicate with a certain server, this server is defined as Active (and the other one as Standby). As long as the NPU succeeds to communicate with an Active Authentication/Accounting server, it will continue using it for authentication/accounting transactions. The RADIUS menu includes three sub-menus:General Parameters AuthenticationAccounting4.4.4.1 General ParametersThe General Parameters menu enables viewing and modifying parameters that affect the communication with all RADIUS servers. These parameters include:Shared SecretRetry Interval (sec)Maximum Number of RetriesKeep Alive Timeout (sec)
96 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and Administration4.4.4.1.1 Shared SecretShared Secret is the key used for encrypting the User name and Password transmitted to the RADIUS server(s). For security and control reasons, the Shared Secret option is available only for users with Administration access rights, using the Administrator Password to access the program. The Shared Secret cannot be changed using SNMP. For the same security reasons, the Shared Secret is displayed as a series of asterisks, and when defining it for the first time or updating it, the user is prompted to re-enter the new Shared Secret for confirmation.Valid Shared Secret: Up to 16 printable characters, case sensitive.The default Shared Secret is null (Shared Secret must be defined).4.4.4.1.2 Retry Interval (sec)The Retry Interval parameter defines the time in seconds to wait before retransmitting a RADIUS message if no response is received. The range is 1-5 (seconds).The default value is 5 (seconds).4.4.4.1.3 Maximum Number of RetriesThe Maximum Number of Retries parameter defines the maximum number of retransmission attempts, before a decision is taken to revert to another server if configured, or give up. The range is 0-5 (retries).The default value is 3 (retries).4.4.4.1.4 Keep Alive Timeout (sec)The NPU maintains a keep alive mechanism with all defined servers. The Keep Alive Timeout defines the time in seconds to wait before reaching a decision that a certain server is no longer available.The range is 60-180 (seconds).The default value is 60 (seconds).NOTEFor security reasons, the Shared Secret does not change after performing the Set Factory Defaults operation. For the same reason, the Shared Secret is not included in backup configuration files.

In an “L model” CPE, the overall throughput (the aggregate downlink and uplink MIR in all services allocated to subscribers behind the CPE) is limited to 2 Mbps. The Network Service Provider may purchase from Alvarion a bank of CPE unlimited bandwidth licenses, and allocate licenses to selected L model CPEs on a need basis (refer to Section 4.9.7.3.9 for details on assigning a license to a selected CPE). Rather than granting licenses only to specific L model CPEs, the Network Service Provider may also purchase a Base Station unlimited bandwidth license to override the bandwidth limitations of all L model CPEs served by the Base Station.The various licenses (CPEs Unlimited Bandwidth Licenses Bank, Base Station Unlimited Bandwidth License for all CPEs) are supplied as files to be loaded to the Base Station using TFTP. A license file can be loaded only to the Base Station specified in the applicable order.The Licenses menu enables viewing the current status of CPEs and Base Station Licenses. The available options are:Show CPEs License Bank StatusShow Base Station LicensesShow Temporary Grace LicensesShow Grace Licenses4.4.5.1 Show CPEs License Bank StatusSelect this option to view the current status of the CPEs Licenses Bank (if available).

The displayed information includes the License ID and License Value for each applicable license. Currently, the applicable license that may be available is Unlimited Bandwidth for all CPEs (License ID = BW, License Value = Unlimited).4.4.5.3 Show Temporary Grace Licenses and Show Grace LicensesThe aggregate uplink and downlink MIR in all the services allocated to an L model CPE should not exceed 2 Mbps. If the aggregate MIR in the services assigned to such a CPE exceeds this limit, the Network Service Provider has a 30 days grace period. During the grace period the assigned services are provided to the CPE. At any time during the 30 days grace period the Network Service Operator can load to the CPE the required permanent license for unlimited bandwidth. If a license was not loaded during this grace period, the following will happen:During the first 3 days, defined as a temporary grace period, the Network Service Provider may change the services assigned to the CPE so that the aggregate MIR is no longer above 2 Mbps. The CPE will be removed from the list of Temporary Grace Licenses and will return to its previous status.After expiry of the 3 days temporary grace period, the CPE is moved to the Grace Licenses list. After expiry of the full 30 days grace period, the CPE is moved to a list of “Grace Period Expired” CPEs (even if during the grace period the services assigned to them were changed so that the aggregate MIR is no longer above 2 Mbps). A CPE that was moved to the Grace Period Expired list will remain in this list for 3 months. A CPE that is included in this list cannot be cannot be granted another grace period. Any attempt to assign to it a service that will bring the aggregate MIR to a value above 2 Mbps will be rejected.The Show Temporary Grace Licenses option displays a table that includes the MAC addresses of CPEs that are currently included in the Temporary Grace License list. For each CPE the displayed list includes also the License ID (only BW license is applicable in the current version) and the expiry date of the temporary grace period.The Show Grace Licenses option displays a table that includes the MAC addresses of CPEs that are currently included in the Grace License list.

When two or more Base Stations are chained, all clocks and additional parameters required to ensure fully synchronized operation of all sectors are sent from the Master Base Station to other Base Stations. The Chain menu includes parameters that must be shared by all Base Stations belonging to the same chain, where most of them should be configured only in the Master Base Station (they will be read-only in other chained Base Stations). In the current release chaining is not supported yet and all Base Stations are configured as Master Base Stations. The Chain menu includes the following:4.4.6.1 Chain NumberIn future releases, when chaining will be fully supported, the Chain Number will be used as a unique identifier of a chain. All Base Stations belonging to the same chain should be configured with the same Chain Number. The Chain Number can be used by a central management system to guarantee that certain limitations are met: in each chain, one, and only one Base Station should be defined as Master. Only one Base Station can be defined as Redundant (backup to the Master).The range is from 1 to 1500.The default is 0, indicating that a Chain Number is not configured yet. A valid Chain Number must be configured, and this number must be unique in the system to properly support future implementation of chaining.4.4.6.2 GPS SupportedThis is a read-only parameter indicating whether the use of GPS is supported by the Base Station (through the Redundant CPLD in the NPU). The options are Supported or Not Supported.4.4.6.3 GPS ProtocolThe GPS Protocol defines the communication protocol with the GPS receiver. The available options are None, Trimble (for Outdoor GPS Receiver) and Symmetricom (for Indoor GPS Receiver).The default is Trimble.
Base Station MenuBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 1054.4.6.4 Time Zone Offset From UTCThis is the offset of the local time from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The range is from -12:00 up to +13:00 in 30 minutes resolution. The format must be either -XX:YY or +XX:YY where YY is either 00 or 30.The default is +02:00.4.4.6.5 Stop Tx After Hold Over TimeoutUpon losing the 1PPS clock from the GPS, or if the received clock is not considered accurate enough because the number of received satellites dropped below the minimum (four satellites), the local 1PPS clock will be generated using the available 16 MHz clock. After a certain time (defined by the Hold Over Passed Timeout parameters described below), it is assumed that due to clock drifts there might be interferences among sectors belonging to the Base Sectors and sectors belonging to neighboring Base Stations). If the Stop Tx After Hold Over Timeout parameter is set to Enable, the Base Station will stop transmitting after this timeout, to prevent interferences to the sectors belonging to other Base Stations. If it is set to Disable, transmissions will continue indefinitely, at the expense of potential interferences to sectors belonging to other Base Stations.The default is Disable (Hold Over indefinitely).4.4.6.6 Hold Over Passed Timeout (Min)This parameter defines the Hold Over timeout, after which there might be interferences to other sectors. When the Stop Tx After Hold Over Timeout is enabled, transmissions will stop after this timeout. When the Stop Tx After Hold Over Timeout is disabled, this timeout is used to generate a trap indicating that there might be interferences to neighboring sectors.The range is from 0 to 2880 (minutes).The default is 30 (minutes).4.4.7 GPS InfoThe GPS Info menu displays read-only information received from the GPS receiver (when available). The displayed details include:Number Of Received Satellites: The number of satellites received by the GPS receiver. For proper operation at least four satellites should be received.Longitude: The longitude as calculated by the GPS receiver.

An SU can be authenticated by the AU only if its defined parameters match the Base Station ID configured for the AU.The Operator ID and Cell ID are defined for the Base Station (see Section 4.4.2.4) and are used by all AUs in the Base Station. In the AU's MAC Parameters menu they are available only in the Show option.The Sector ID parameter consists of three digits in the range of 0 to 255.The default Sector ID is 206. Changes in Sector ID are applied only after reset.4.8.5.3.1.2 ARQ Enable/DisableThe ARQ Enable/Disable parameter controls whether to use an ARQ algorithm for detecting errors and requesting retransmissions of applicable unicast messages (applicable only for Best Effort and Non Real Time services). The default is Disable.4.8.5.3.1.3 Maximum Cell RadiusThe Maximum Cell Radius is used to adapt various timing parameters of the MAC to the time it takes a message to reach its destination. This time delay is dependent upon the distance between the originating and receiving units. The timing parameters should be adapted to the largest expected delay, which is determined from the distance from the AU of the farthest SU served by it.
142 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and AdministrationThe basic time element (symbol) used by a system operating in TDD mode is 68 microseconds for a bandwidth of 3.5 MHz and 50 microseconds for a bandwidth of 5 MHz. This symbol size is translated to a round trip delay of approximately 20 km for 3.5 MHz bandwidth and 15 km for 5 MHz bandwidth, or a cell radius of 10 km or 7.5 km, respectively. The values range for the Maximum Cell Distance is from 10 to 50 km for a bandwidth of 3.5 MHz, and 7 to 45 km for a bandwidth of 5 MHz (representing a maximum delay of 6 symbols). The default is 20 km.4.8.5.3.2 Phy ParametersThe Phy menu enables viewing/updating the Bandwidth parameter:4.8.5.3.2.1 BandwidthThe frequency bandwidth used by the radio. A change in the Bandwidth parameter will take effect only after resetting the AU.The Admin Status of all Channels belonging to the same AU must be disabled to enable a configuration change in the Bandwidth parameter.The available options are:1 - 1.75 MHz2 - 3.5 MHz3 - 5.0 MHz4 - 7 MHzNOTEFor Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) links using refractions, the cell distance should be higher than the line-of-sight distance. Typically a 10% margin is a good estimate for the increase in distance due to the NLOS operation.NOTEAn SU located at a distance larger than the Maximum Cell Radius will be rejected during the network entry process.NOTEThe actual value that the system will use is a multiple of the the one-way delay for a single basic time element: N*10 km for a bandwidth of 3.5 MHz or N*7.5 km for a bandwidth of 5 MHz, where N is a an integer from 1 to 6. The value configured for the Maximum Cell Radius will be up-rounded to the nearest applicable value.

The help text (displayed upon clicking the Tab key) reflects the limitations imposed by these rules.In addition, the following rules must be followed in No Diversity mode if more than one channel is used:1After configuring the Downlink Frequency f1 for one of the AU's Channels, the Downlink Frequencies for other Channels of the same AU should be configured using increments of +/- 0.875 MHz from the defined frequency: f1 +/-(N*0.875).2The Downlink Frequencies of all Channels of the same AU should belong to the same Frequency Bands Group (see Section 4.7.5).Admin Status: The Admin Status must be disabled to enable changes in the Configured ODU Frequency Band of an associated ODU. If the Configured ODU Frequency Band differs from the actual band supported by the ODU, a mismatch trap will be sent by the AU upon trying to associate it with a Channel and the association will be rejected. The Admin Status of all Channels belonging to the same AU must be disabled to enable a configuration change in the Bandwidth parameter.If the Diversity Mode is set to Fourth Order Diversity, the Downlink (Tx) Frequency and Admin Status of Channels 2-4 are not configurable: they are set automatically to the same values configured for Channel 1. The Tx Power of the ODUs associated with Channels 2-4 will be forced to the value configured for the ODU associated with Channel 1.If the Diversity Mode is set to Second Order Diversity, the Downlink (Tx) Frequency and Admin Status of Channel 2 are not configurable: they are set automatically to the same values configured for Channel 1. The Tx Power of the ODU associated with Channel 2 will be forced to the value configured for the ODU associated with Channel 1.

If there is a mismatch between the Configured ODU Frequency Band and its actual band, both values will be displayed.Operational Status4.8.5.3.4 Multirate ParametersBreezeMAX employs a multirate algorithm to dynamically adapt the modulation scheme and Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding to actual link conditions. The algorithm is managed by the AU taking into account also information received from the served SUs. Optimal values are calculated separately for the uplink and downlink for each SU. MAP messages transmitted to the SUs include information on the uplink rate that should be used by each SU for its next transmission.The Basic Rate is the minimum rate to be used by the Multirate algorithm. This is also the rate to be used for downlink broadcasts and multicasts. Broadcasts and multicasts messages are not acknowledged, so that the ARQ mechanism cannot be used and there is no way to guarantee that all intended recipients will receive them properly. In addition, multicasts and broadcasts are sent to multiple recipients with different link qualities. Therefore, it is preferable to use a relatively low rate for these transmissions, thus reducing the probability of errors and increasing the likelihood that all intended recipients will receive them properly.In the uplink, this is the rate to be used by SUs for non-scheduled transmissions, such as during the contention period.The Basic Rate is also the initial rate to be used by the algorithm for each new SU that joins the cell when the Multirate algorithm is enabled.When the Multirate algorithm is disabled, communication with connected SUs will continue using the last uplink and downlink rates selected by the Multirate algorithm. The Set Rates option in the SU (see Section 4.9.7.3.4.2), which becomes available only when the Multirate algorithm is disabled in the AU, enables setting the Uplink Current Rate and the Downlink Current Rate to any of the values listed in Table 4-5.The multirate algorithm chooses dynamically between 8 rates. These are also the rates that can be configured for the Basic Rate parameters.

The reason can be:1Loop problem. A loop was detected on the Ethernet side of the SU. An rbNetworkingError Trap will be sent, and services to this SU will be denied until resetting the SU from the network (NPU) side (provided the problem no longer exists). The problem is detectable through periodical (every 5 seconds) transmissions to the Ethernet link of SNAP packets with "AA AA 03" in the header, and the destination MAC address is 00:10:E7:00:00:01. If the SU receives this packet from the Ethernet, it means that there is a loop and the SU will send an appropriate message to the NPU.2Duplicate SU Name: The SU Name is already in use by another SU. An rbSuDuplicateName Trap will be sent and services to the SU will be denied until another unique name is configured for the SU (see also Section 4.9.7.3.1.1).Summary InformationTotal Number of SUs: The total number of SUs in the database (including connected and pre-configured SUs)Total Connected SUsSUs Connected to AU Slot N, where N=1-4, 7-9.NOTEAnother loop avoidance mechanism that is transparent to the operator is performed by the NPU: The NPU scans packets received from the network (DATA port) and verifies that the SRC MAC in the received packet does not match any of the addresses in the NPU's bridging table. If there is a match it means that the source MAC address of the message received from the network side is identical to a MAC address of a device behind one of the SUs served by the Base Station. In case of a match, the NPU discards all packets designated to the device with this MAC address, until it's aging time expires.

Changes in Base Station deployment and subscriber density can accumulate to create substantial changes in SU performance. The quest for load sharing together with the desire to create best throughput conditions for the SU created the need for the Best AU feature, to enable an SU to connect to the best AU in its neighborhood.When the Best BST/AU feature is enabled, the SU scans all AUs in a predefined range, in all frequencies (according to the frequencies defined in the Frequency Scanning menu as described in Section 4.9.7.3.11) and in all available antennas (according to the local definition in the SU, as indicated by the Antenna Selection parameter in the Show menu of the SU). Each of the AUs with which the SU can communicate (perform initial phase of network entry) is given a quality mark based on the quality of the signal at which it is received by the SU. At the end of the scanning period, the SU reaches a Best AU decision according to the information gathered. The AU with the highest quality mark is selected as the Best AU, and the SU will immediately try to associate with it at the relevant frequency. The range used for scanning is defined by the Base Station ID parameters of the SU. The initial range can be limited by defining a preferred range of AUs, and selecting the best AU in the preferred range. If no AU is found in the preferred range, the SU will scan the entire range.The Best BST/AU Parameters menu includes the following options:4.9.7.3.10.1 ShowThe Show option enables viewing the following:Best BST/AU SupportPreferred BST/AU IDPreferred BST/AU ID Mask

The SU will select the best AU within this range. If no AU is found within this range, the SU will continue searching in the entire range defined by the Base Station ID and Base Station ID Mask parameters.The Preferred BST/AU ID and Preferred BST/AU ID Mask consist of 6 groups of up to 3 digits each, where the range of each group is 0 to 255. The first 3 groups form the base address/mask for the Operator ID. The next 2 groups form the base address/mask for the Cell ID, and the last group forms the base address/mask for the Sector ID.4.9.7.3.11 Frequency ScanningThe Frequency Scanning menu enables viewing and updating the set of frequencies to be used during the scanning process. The Frequency Scanning parameters are Start Rx Frequency, End Rx Frequency, Scanning Main Step and Intermediate Step Mask. The set of frequencies to be scanned is defined as follows:
168 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and AdministrationThe “main” frequencies are defined by the Start Frequency and Main Step, using the formula F(N) =Start Frequency + N*Main Step (F(0) = Start Frequency, F(1) = Start Frequency + Main Step,...). End Frequency is the upper limit.The Intermediate Step Mask can be used to define additional frequencies using a finer resolution. The Intermediate Step Mask includes up to 8 entries that include numbers from 1 to 8 (or none). The intermediate steps are defined as follows:For example, the Scan step Mask 1,2,5 means that the scanned frequencies are: Start Frequency, Start Frequency + 125 KHz, Start Frequency + 500 KHz, Start Frequency +N*Main Step, Start Frequency +N*Main Step + 125 KHz, Start Frequency +N*Main Step + 500 KHz (N=1, 2,...).

Services MenuBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 1734.10 Services Menu4.10.1 Introduction to Services4.10.1.1 Services, Subscribers and Service ProfilesA Service is a virtual connection between a Subscriber's application and the Network Resource. The Network Resource could be Internet, Content Provider, Corporate Network, etc.The Services are implemented as IEEE 802.16 connections within the wireless domain. Each Service can include up to 4 uplink and 4 downlink connections. Implementation within the provider's backbone domain depends on the specific backbone network.A Subscriber is an entity that may be associated with any number of devices connected to any number of SUs. Each Service associates a certain Service Profile with Subscriber's device(s) behind a specific SU.The Service Profile's properties depend on the Service Type. All data Services have the following properties:VLAN ID based Classification: Each Service can be associated with up to 16 VLAN IDs, enabling creation of VLANs within the wireless domain and differentiation of services to different end-users behind the same SU based on VLAN ID classification.Quality of Service (QoS) and Priority based Classification: Up to 4 uplink and 4 downlink QoS profiles can be assigned to each Service. The data will be mapped onto these connections by either IEEE 802.1p or DSCP priority tags. This will lead to creation of the corresponding number of Uplink and Downlink connections supporting differentiated services to up to 4 applications based on either IEEE 802.1p or DSCP prioritization schemes. In cases where prioritization is not used, a single pair of uplink/downlink connections is created.Forwarding Rules: A Forwarding Rule is assigned to each Service, defining various features that define the handling of certain message types in the NOTEThe Subscriber entity is not applicable when Services are provisioned using a RADIUS server.
174 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and Administrationwireless domain. These may include Unicast and Multicast Forwarding rules, QoS Profile for Multicasts and Unknown Address Forwarding Policy. The available features depend on the Service Type. The data may be switched only between the Services that share the same Forwarding Rule. In all other respects the service functions as a standard Bridge.Aggregation: Several Services in the Wireless Domain may be aggregated into a single Virtual Private Link (VPL) in the backbone domain.Priority Marking: Ethernet frames transmitted to the backbone may be marked with a configurable priority (DSCP or IEEE 802.1p), enabling the upstream network to handle the traffic accordingly.Auto-configuration: The Ethernet Addresses of the Subscribers' PCs are automatically learnt just as in a standard Bridge. For each Ethernet Address it also learns the VLAN behind the SU it belongs to.Currently, the following Service types are supported:L2 (layer 2) Data ServicePPPoE Data ServiceVoice Service4.10.1.2 Service Types4.10.1.2.1 L2 ServiceL2 (Layer 2) service transports Layer 2 (Ethernet) frames between the subscriber's site and the Network Resource located behind the provider's backbone and/or between the subscriber's sites. It is assumed that the backbone either supports encapsulation of the Layer 2 frames (e.g. over ATM) or routes the frames according to the applicable Layer 3 protocol, which could be different from IP. The Network Resource is assumed to be a corporate network.4.10.1.2.2 PPPoE ServicePPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) Access service provides connectivity between a PPPoE enabled devices at the subscriber's site and a PPPoE aware NOTEAn L2 Service supports also DRAP-based Voice Service, as described in the next page.
Services MenuBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 175Access Concentrator behind the Base Station. The frames are forwarded only between the Subscribers' PCs and the PPPoE Access Concentrator. Frames that are not PPPoE Ethertype are discarded. In the uplink, frames are never relayed but only forwarded to the Access Concentrator. In the downlink, broadcasts are allowed only in cases of unknown addresses.4.10.1.2.3 Voice ServiceThe Voice over IP (VoIP) service provides telephony services through an external Voice Gateway connected to the Subscriber Unit's data port. The VoIP service is designed for Alvarion's Voice Gateways, using the proprietary DRAP signaling protocol to identify VoIP sessions and to verify optimal handling of these sessions. Upon provisioning of such a service, the system automatically handles Signaling and RTP connections establishment, including QoS issues.DRAP (Dynamic Resources Allocation Protocol) is a protocol between the Gateway (installed behind the Subscriber Unit) and the base station. The protocol provides an auto-discovery mechanism for the Gateway, so that no specific configuration is needed and the Gateway can automatically locate and register with the base station. The protocol uses a few simple messages enabling a Voice Gateway to request resources when calls are made, and the base station to dynamically allocate them.Using the DRAP solution has the following advantages:Maintain telephony toll quality over the wireless network - dynamically allocate Continuous Grant (CG) connections for active calls, maintaining the QoS and low jitter needed for toll-quality voice services.Allocate CG bandwidth only for the duration of the call - the air resources are allocated and released according to the DRAP messages, which are based on the VoIP signaling. This dynamic allocation ensures efficient use of the air resources.Prevent callers from placing calls if a sector is overloaded - the operator can control and limit the maximum number of concurrent calls per wireless sector and per end user voice gateway. Thus, the operator has complete control of its network and the resources in it.NOTEThe DRAP-based Voice Service is also available when an L2 Service is provisioned.
176 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and AdministrationAutomatic support of Codec changing in a VoIP call - the DRAP messages update the BreezeMAX equipment on any Codec change or subsequent bandwidth allocation change during the call, hence the exact required bandwidth is always provided. This is essential in fax transmissions where the call might begin with one Codec and switch to another to accommodate the fax transmission.VoIP stack is always in synch with the wireless transport - as the DRAP is integrated into the VoIP stack all calls are terminated according to the VoIP standard. Even if no resources are available, the voice gateway receives an appropriate message from the BreezeMAX system and sends the required signaling message according to the VoIP standard used.4.10.1.3 Supporting Generic (3rd Party) VoIP ServicesWhen using VoIP devices that do not support the DRAP protocol, the required service can be provided through a Data (L2) service with a CG QoS (see Section 4.10.4.7) that is defined in accordance with the estimated bandwidth required for the service. The required bandwidth depends on several parameters, such as codec type, sample rate and T.38 Fax Relay support. The service parameters depend also on the marking features of the VoIP equipment (the ability to use either DSCP or 802.1p to distinguish between RTP, RTCP and VoIP Signaling, and Data traffic). The system includes several pre-configured Service Profiles for commonly used VoIP applications.For details on the pre-configured profiles, refer to Section 4.10.8. For details on defining Service Profiles for generic VoIP devices, refer to Appendix B.4.10.1.4 Global and Local ProfilesGlobal Profiles (Service Profiles and their components - Forwarding Rules, Priority Classifiers and QoS Profiles) are centrally managed profiles that are distributed to Base Stations as XML files via TFTP. Global profiles can be changed only by loading a new XML file; they cannot be created, modified or deleted by either the Monitor program or SNMP. This concept provides fully centralized control over these profiles, and ensures that the same profiles with identical content exist in all Base Stations (assuming that distribution is performed properly).Local Profiles are intended primarily for special cases when there is a need to define a Service Profile in one or several Base Stations using either the Monitor Program or SNMP. There is no way to guarantee that Local profiles with the same name in two or more Base Stations will have identical content. Local profiles can be added, modified or deleted using either the Monitor program or SNMP.
Services MenuBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 177Changes in Global profiles (add, update or delete) are applied by loading a new XML file. A newly loaded XML file replaces completely all the Global profiles in the database.4.10.1.5 Authentication and Service ProvisioningThe Authentication and Service Provisioning process is affected by the Base Station’s Service Mode (Advanced or Quick) and by specific SU Status (Permanent or Temporary). A Permanent SU (an SU that is defined as such in the database) is provisioned with the “permanent” Service(s) defined for it in the database (if any). The Services are provisioned based on the SU’s MAC Address. A Temporary SU (not defined as Permanent in the database) will be authenticated and provisioned with the Service(s) defined for it by the RADIUS Authentication server. The authentication and service provisioning are based on the SU Name (User Name) and User Password. The SU will be added to the database as a Temporary SU.If rejected by the RADIUS Authentication server (or RADIUS Authentication server is not available), then the service provisioning depends on Service Mode:In Advanced Service Mode, the SU will be rejected (no services).In Quick Service Mode, the SU will be able to use default services based on the Default Service Profile(s), provided it uses the “quick” User Password “quickynikinyoky”. It is possible to define up to two Default Service Profiles: one for PPPoE services and one for L2 or Voice services (note that L2 service can support also Voice services). The SU will be added to the database as a Temporary SU. The quickynikinyoky User Password will be sent by the SU in the following cases:Aquickynikinyoky is the User Password configured in the SUBA new SU with a null User Name and User Password: The SU will send its MAC Address as User Name with User Password quickynikinyoky. In this case, the NOTEIf a Global Service Profile component (Forwarding Rule, Priority Classifier, QoS Profile) is in use by a Local Service Profile (or component), it will not be affected (deleted or updated) by loading a new XML file.This is an undesired situation, as it may lead to a situation where there is no full synchronization of the Global profiles database among all Base Stations. To avoid this situation, do not use Global components (Forwarding Rule, Priority Classifier, QoS Profile) in Local Service Profiles.
178 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and AdministrationSU may receive specific services from the RADIUS Authentication server based on these credentials. CNull (blank) User Password (non-null User Name)Quick Mode is the recommended Service Mode. RADIUS Authorization and Accounting servers (may be implemented in the same server) are required for proper service provisioning. A Base Station will reject an SU if its name (User Name) is identical to that of another SU that is already served by the Base Station However, several SUs connected to different Base Stations may be authenticated and provisioned with services even if they use the same User Name and User Password. The maximum number of duplicate SUs using the same User Name and User Password that may be authenticated by the Authentication server (Duplicate Sessions) is configured in the RADIUS Accounting server. The service provisioning information sent by the RADIUS Authentication server to the Base Station includes for each service (up to a maximum of 5 services) the name of the Service Profile and VLAN parameters. In addition, the authentication message includes also the Session Timeout and Termination Action. If the Termination Action is Default, the Session (services to the SU) will be terminated. If the Termination Action is RADIUS-request, the Base Station will try to re-authenticate the user. If the service configuration in the Authentication server has been changed, the services provisioned to the SU (if re-authenticated) will be updated accordingly.4.10.1.6 Using VLANs and VPLsVLANs can be used for creating within the BreezeMAX network virtual groups of multiple end-users (stations) belonging to the same organization (Subscriber). They may also be used to differentiate between different end-users (stations) connected to the same SU.In the backbone, VPL ID (Virtual Private Link ID) is used. VPL is a virtual connection between two points on the network, such as a base station and a service provider or corporate network, identified by the VPL ID, with functionality that is similar to VLAN ID (VLAN on the backbone network). Typically, it is used to separate between different traffic types (e.g. Data and Voice), or traffic to/from different ISPs or different corporate networks.If the VPL ID is None (No VPL ID) and VLAN Transparency Mode is Off, frames arriving from the infrastructure side with a VLAN ID tag will be discarded. Tagged frames arriving from the wireless domain will be forwarded without a VLAN tag, unless 802.1p Priority Marking is used. If 802.1p Priority Marking is used, tagged frames will be forwarded with VPL ID = 0 and the defined Priority Marking Value.
Services MenuBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 179If the VPL ID is other than None (applicable only if VLAN Transparency Mode is Off), all untagged frames forwarded to the network will be tagged with the VPL ID. The VLAN ID in tagged frames arriving from the wireless network will be replaced by the VPL ID.The guidelines that should be followed when defining VPL ID are:Several Service Profiles may share the same VPL ID. However, the following rules must be met:Any number of L2 and/or VoIP Service Profiles may share the same VPL ID, provided they all use the same Forwarding Rule.Any number of PPPoE Service Profiles may share the same VPL ID, provided they all use the same Forwarding Rule.Any number of L2, VoIP and PPPoE Service Profiles may share the same VPL ID, provided that all L2/Voice Service Profiles use the same Forwarding Rule A, and all PPPoE Service Profiles use the same Forwarding Rule B, where A and B are different.The VLAN Transparency Mode defines the method of transferring packets to the operator's upstream network. When set to On, data packets sent from the Base Station to the backbone will be transferred transparently. The VPL ID parameter is not applicable to Service Profiles with VLAN Transparency Mode On.For tagged packets, the VPL ID will be their VLAN tag.For untagged packets, the VPL ID will be None.For packets received from the network, the forwarding decision will be according to the packet's VPL ID. If the VPL ID is unknown (either None or not included in the list of VPL IDs defined for any of the existing, non-transparent Service Profiles), the system will assume this is a transparent VLAN packet (if at least one transparent Service is defined) and transfer it with the original VLAN tag (or untagged if there is no VLAN tag).For transparent services, VLAN Classification Mode can be set to On to enable downlink classification based on both the MAC Address and VLAN ID, to support applications with multiple VLAN IDs per a single MAC address. All Services assigned to the same SU must be configured with the same VLAN Classification Mode (Either On or Off). If VLAN Classification Mode is On, only a single VLAN ID can be defined for the Service. This means that the allowed combinations are:
180 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and AdministrationHybrid VLAN Mode is Off and the VLAN List includes a single VLAN ID.Hybrid VLAN Mode is On and the VLAN List is empty.For transparent services it is also possible to configure an Access VLAN to be used with untagged packets received on the Ethernet port of the SU. This parameter is applicable only for a transparent service with Hybrid Mode set to On, or a transparent service with Hybrid Mode set to Off and an empty VLAN list.A maximum of one Access VLAN can be defined per SU.Hybrid VLAN Mode of operation enables classification of both tagged and untagged packets or untagged packets only, according to the following rules:The guidelines that should be followed when defining VLAN IDs and related parameters are:A specific VLAN ID behind a certain SU can be associated only with a single Service of a certain Service Type. It is not possible to define two Services of the same Service Type for the same SU and VLAN ID. However, the same SU and VLAN ID can be associated with two Services of different Service Types, excluding the combination of L2 Service and Voice Service.For each Service Type, a maximum of one Service that enables forwarding of untagged packets can be assigned to an SU. Forwarding of untagged packets is supported when either Hybrid VLAN Mode is On, or Hybrid VLAN Mode is Off and the VLAN List is empty. It is not possible to define for the same SU two Services of the same Service Type that enable forwarding of untagged packets. However, the same SU and untagged packets can be associated with two Services of different Service Types, excluding the combination of L2 Service and Voice Service.Table 4-7: Hybrid VLAN ModeHybrid VLAN Mode VLAN List Forwarded PacketsOff Exists Only packets tagged with a VLAN ID that exists in the VLAN List. VLAN List can include up to 16 entries.Empty All (both untagged and tagged with any VLAN ID)On Exists Untagged packets, and packets tagged with a VLAN ID that exists in the VLAN List.

Services MenuBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 181The maximum total number of VLAN IDs behind the same SU is 16 (15 when there is a Service with Hybrid VLAN Mode On is assigned to the SU).The combination of VLAN Transparency Service On, Hybrid VLAN Mode Off and an empty VLAN List means that all packets are forwarded. This combination should be used only if the Service Provider can ensure that there will not be conflicts between VLAN IDs used by devices behind the SU and existing VPL IDs.To avoid conflicts, a transparent Service Profile cannot be assigned to a Service if the Service's VLAN ID list includes a VLAN ID that is equal to any of the already assigned VPL IDs.The combination VLAN Transparency Mode On, Hybrid VLAN Mode On and an empty VLAN List means that only untagged frames should be forwarded. Such a Service cannot be assigned if there is an assigned non-transparent Service with VPL ID = None.4.10.2 Introduction to Filtering FeaturesThe Filtering features allow a network operator to control the traffic in the system by forwarding or discarding packets according to a set of rules based on multiple allow/deny criteria. This provides both improved network security and better utilization of the wireless medium.The filtering is done at the base station, controlling the traffic between the network and the wireless link. The filtering features enable:Filtering packets arriving from the network interface (From Network Filtering), using a set of either Layer 2 or Layer 3/Layer 4 Filtering Rules.Filtering packets arriving from the wireless link (From Wireless Filtering), using a set of either Layer 2 or Layer 3/Layer 4 Filtering Rules.Discarding packets to/from specific MAC addresses (MAC Address Deny List). This is applicable to MAC Addresses behind SUs.The following figure describes the filtering functionality.
182 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and Administration The filtering definition process includes the following steps:1Defining list(s) of Filtering Rules. Each Filtering Rule defines a combination of values for certain packet fields. Filtering Rules can be of 2 types: Layer 2 Filtering Rules (using fields of the Ethernet frame) and Layer 3/Layer 4 Filtering Rules (using fields of the IP and/or UDP/TCP headers). 2Associating each Interface (From Network, From Wireless Link) with a set of either Layer 2 or Layer 3/Layer 4 filters from the relevant Filtering Rules lists, and defining the action to be taken upon receiving a packet that matches any of the selected Filtering Rules: Allow (forward) or Deny (discard).4.10.3 Common Operations in Services MenuExcept for the General submenu, all submenus available in the Services menu enable viewing, editing, deleting and adding applicable entities, such as Subscribers, Services, Service Profiles, etc.Some or all of the following options are available in all submenus of the Services menu:4.10.3.1 Show AllSelect this option to see the current details of all entities in the applicable submenu (Subscribers, Services, etc.).4.10.3.2 Show byThis option enables selecting an entity by a specific identifier such as Name or MAC Address.

The VPL ID parameter is not applicable to Service Profiles with VLAN Transparency Mode On.Also the Forwarding Rule selection parameter is not applicable to transparent Service Profiles. All transparent Service Profiles share a single pre-configured Forwarding Rule, and a pre-configured QoS Profile for multicasts. For details on these profiles refer to Table 4-21 and Table 4-22. The pre-configured Transparent Forwarding Rule can be modified but not deleted.For tagged packets, the VPL ID will be their VLAN tag.For untagged packets, the VPL ID will be None.For packets received from the network, the forwarding decision will be according to the packet's VPL ID. If the VPL ID is unknown (either None or not included in the list of VPL IDs defined for any of the existing, non-transparent Service Profiles), the system will assume this is a transparent VLAN packet (if at least one transparent Service is defined) and transfer it with the original VLAN tag (or untagged if there is no VLAN tag).NOTEThe combination of VLAN Transparency Service On, Hybrid VLAN Mode Off and an empty VLAN List means that all packets are forwarded. This combination should be used only if the Service Provider can ensure that there will not be conflicts between VLAN IDs used by devices behind the SU and existing VPL IDs.
192 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and AdministrationWhen set to Off, data packets sent from the Base Station to the backbone will be transferred with a VLAN tag according to the VPL ID. The VLAN ID in tagged frames arriving from the wireless network will be replaced by the VPL ID. For packets received from the network, the forwarding decision will be according to the Forwarding Rule defined in the Service Profile with a matching VPL ID.To avoid conflicts, a transparent Service Profile cannot be assigned to a Service if the Service's VLAN ID list includes a VLAN ID that is equal to any of the already assigned VPL IDs.4.10.4.4.4 VPL IDA Virtual Private Link ID to be used in the backbone behind the Base Station. The VPL ID parameter is applicable only to Service Profiles with VLAN Transparency Mode Off.To avoid conflicts, it is not allowed to define a VPL ID that is identical to any of the VLAN IDs in the already assigned transparent Services (Services using a Service Profile with VLAN Transparency Mode On).Several Service Profiles may share the same VPL ID. However, the following rules must be met:Any number of L2 and/or VoIP Service Profiles may share the same VPL ID, provided they all use the same Forwarding Rule.Any number of PPPoE Service Profiles may share the same VPL ID, provided they all use the same Forwarding Rule.Any number of L2, VoIP and PPPoE Service Profiles may share the same VPL ID, provided that all L2/Voice Service Profiles use the same Forwarding Rule A, and all PPPoE Service Profiles use the same Forwarding Rule B, where A and B are different.Available values are in the range of 0 to 4094 or null (empty string) for No VPL ID. A value of 4095 is displayed for No VPL ID.4.10.4.4.5 Priority Marking ModeIn some cases, the network operator may want to use the BreezeMAX system for marking QoS classes, in order to provide network-wide QoS and enable the NOTEThe combination VLAN Transparency Mode On, Hybrid VLAN Mode On and an empty VLAN List means that only untagged frames should be forwarded. Such a Service cannot be assigned if there is an assigned non-transparent Service with VPL ID = None.
Services MenuBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 193upstream network to handle the traffic accordingly. Within the BreezeMAX system, frames can be classified to QoS classes using Priority Classifiers, based on either a DSCP header or 802,1p tag. This applies only in cases where an external networking device marks the applicable fields. BreezeMAX also enables marking data transmitted to the backbone network with either DSCP or 802.1p values, where the marking is done per Service Profile. This marking overrides marking performed by external devices behind the SU. Typically, Priority Marking by the NPU will be used in the following cases:The external networking equipment behind the SU does not use priority marking.The service provider does not trust the priority marking defined by the user's equipment.The service provider uses a priority marking type (DSCP or 802.1p) that differs from the one used by the user's networking equipment.The system supports three marking modes:1Transparent Marking Mode (No Priority Marking): In this case, the system should forward the frames to the uplink network without any changes.If 802.1p classification is used at the SU, the frames will be transmitted to the operator's network according to the following rules:If VLAN Transparency Mode is Off, the frames will be forwarded with their original 802.1p value and the configured VPL ID. If no VPL ID is configured (VPL ID = Null), the 802.1p tags will not be forwarded.If VLAN Transparency Mode is On, the frames will be forwarded without any change (with the original 802.1p value and VLAN ID, if exists). For DSCP classification at the SU:If the VPL ID is configured (VLAN Transparency Mode Off), the NPU adds an 802.1Q header with the configured VPL ID and 802.1p=0.If VLAN Transparency Mode is On, The NPU adds a 802.1Q header with the original VLAN ID (if exists). Note that there may be a disparity between the DSCP values and the default 802.1p = 0 value.
194 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and Administration2802.1p Marking Mode: If VLAN Transparency Mode is Off, all frames are marked with the configured VPL ID and the 802.1p Marking Value. If no VPL ID is configured (VPL ID = None), the 802.1Q header will include a VLAN ID = 0. If VLAN Transparency Mode is On, all frames are marked with the original VLAN ID and the 802.1p Marking Value.If 802.1p classification is used at the SU, the original 802.1p tags are replaced by the configured 802.1p Marking Value.If DSCP classification is used at the SU, an 802.1Q header is added, with the configured VPL ID (if VLAN Transparency Mode is Off) or the original VLAN ID (if VLAN Transparency Mode is On), and the 802.1p Marking Value. The original DSCP bits are kept.3DSCP Marking Mode: All frames are marked with the configured DSCP Marking Values. If 802.1p classification is used at the SU, the frames will be transmitted to the operator's network according to the following rules:If VLAN Transparency Mode is Off, the frames will be forwarded with their original 802.1p value and the configured VPL ID. If no VPL ID is configured (VPL ID = Null), the 802.1p tags will not be forwarded.If VLAN Transparency Mode is On, the frames will be forwarded without any change (with the original 802.1p value and VLAN ID, if exists).If DSCP classification is used at the SU, the original DSCP bits will be replaced by the configured DSCP Marking Value.NOTEIf the Priority Marking Value is set to 0, untagged packets (without VLAN ID) will be forwarded without any change. This is applicable to transparent services and to to non-transparent services with no VPL ID.

Not applicable for Voice Services.The Priority Classifier must be one of the names that exist in the database, after being defined using the Priority Classifier menu.4.10.4.4.9 Maximum Number of Voice Calls (L2 and Voice Service Type)The Maximum Number of Voice Calls parameter sets the upper limit on the number of simultaneous VoIP calls that can be supported by the Service using the Service Profile. This parameter is applicable only for L2 and Voice Service Profiles and calls made by devices that support DRAP.The available range is from 0 to 50 calls.NOTEPPPoE frames can be marked only with 802.1p. DSCP marking for PPPoE services is not supported.In L2 Services, many protocols may be carried over Ethernet. As BreezeMAX bridges all these protocols, there's no way to know what protocol type is encapsulated in Ethernet beforehand. Consequently, if DSCP Marking is configured for L2, the BreezeMAX system uses DSCP marking only for IP packets (e.g. Ethertype 0x0800). If 802.1p Marking is configured, it is used for all frames.Table 4-9: Priority Marking ValuesPriority Marking Mode Priority Marking Values RangeTransparent Not Applicable802.1p 0 - 7DSCP 0 - 63

When the Broadcast Relaying parameter is enabled, broadcast packets originating from devices on the wireless link are transmitted by the AU back to the wireless link devices, as well as to the backbone. If disabled, these packets are sent only to the backbone and are not sent back to the wireless link.4.10.4.5.5 Unknown Forwarding Policy (L2 and Voice Services Type)The Unknown Forwarding Policy parameter determines the mode of controlling the flow of information from the backbone to the wireless media. Select from the following options:1 - Reject: The AU will transmit unicast packets only to those addresses that the AU knows to exist on the wireless link side.2 - Forward: Enables the transmission of all packets, except unicast packets sent to addresses that the AU recognizes as being on its wired backbone side.4.10.4.5.6 Multicast VLAN ID The Multicast VLAN ID parameter is applicable only to Services assigned to SUs with SW version below 2.0. The Multicast VLAN ID is the VLAN ID to be attached to mulicast messages in order to enable full support of the VLAN feature by SUs with SW version below 2.0.In SUs with SW version below 2.0, it was necessary to use behind the SU a VLAN switch with binding capability to support multiple VLAN IDs. The VLAN switch was responsible for duplicating all the packets to the correct ports according to the multicast connection, this required switch pre-configuration. If a VLAN switch with binding capability was not used, only a single VLAN ID behind the SU could be supported, and this VLAN ID has to be identical to the multicast VLAN ID.In the current version, all packets received from the wireless port over a multicast connection are transmitted by the SU several times to the Ethernet port, each time with a different VLAN ID, taken from the VLAN ID list supplied by the NPU.Available values are in the range of 0 to 4094 or null (empty string) for No Multicast VLAN ID.Refer to Section 4.10.1.6 for guidelines regarding configuration of Multicast VLAN ID.

200 OperationChapter 4 - Operation and Administration4.10.4.7 QoS ProfilesThe QoS Profile defines the Quality of Service parameters that are applicable when the QoS Profile is used. Different QoS Profile Types are available to support different service requirements:Real-Time (RT) service is designed to meet the needs of Real Time Variable Bit Rate like services characterized by requirements for guaranteed rate and delay such as streaming video or audio. These services are dynamic in nature, but offer periodic dedicated requests opportunities to meet real-time requirements. Because the Subscriber Unit issues explicit requests, the protocol overhead and latency is increased, but capacity is granted only according to the real needs of the connection. QoS Profile parameters include Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Committed Time (CT).Non-Real-Time (NRT) service is very similar to the Real-Time polling service except that connections may utilize random access transmit opportunities for sending bandwidth requests. These Non Real Time Variable Bit Rate services, such as file transfer and Internet access with a minimum guaranteed rate, are characterized by requirement for a guaranteed rate, but can tolerate longer delays and are rather insensitive to jitter. QoS Profile parameters include Committed Information Rate (CIR), Committed Time (CT) and Maximum Information Rate (MIR) that limits the rate so that bandwidth intensive services will not expand to occupy the full bandwidth. Best Effort (BE) service is for services where neither throughput nor delay guarantees are provided. The Subscriber Unit sends requests for bandwidth in either random access slots or dedicated transmission opportunities. The occurrence of dedicated opportunities is subject to network load, and the Subscriber Unit cannot rely on their presence. Service parameters include Committed Time (CT) and Maximum Information Rate (MIR). Continuous Grant (CG) service is tailored for carrying constant bit rate (CBR) real-time services characterized by fixed size data packets on a periodic basis such as VoIP or E1/T1. The Base Station schedules regularly, in a preemptive manner, grants of the size defined at connection setup, without an explicit request from the Subscriber Unit. This eliminates the overhead and latency of bandwidth requests in order to meet the delay and jitter requirements of the underlying service. Service parameters include Packet Size (unsolicited grant size) and Sampling Rate (grant interval).
Services MenuBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 201The priorities of allocating bandwidth to connections are in accordance with the QoS Type of the connections, in the following order:1CG 2RT3NRT4BEFor each of the RT, NRT and BE connection, there is a second level of priorities according to the Committed Time (CT), where connections with CT=Short gets the highest priority and connections with CT=Long gets the lowest priority.The QoS Profile menu enables viewing all Local and Global QoS Profiles in the database, defining new QoS Profiles (that will be added to the database as Local QoS Profiles), editing details of previously defined Local QoS Profiles and removing Local QoS Profiles from the database.The QoS Profiles database can hold up to 255 QoS Profiles.The available QoS Profile parameters depend on the QoS Type.

Certain parameters of these Profiles may be modified to reflect specific implementation requirements. When the software version is upgraded, these pre-configured Profiles will not be installed again in the μBST. This is to prevent configuration problems from occurring if the modified Profiles differ from the factory loaded Profiles. Note that upon resetting to NPU to its default configuration (Set Factory Defaults), pre-configured Profiles that were modified are not affected.The pre-configured Service Profiles are:Internet Access L2 - for basic Internet Access service with Best Effort QoS, utilizing L2 Service Type. This is the recommended Default Service Profile for Quick Mode.Internet Access PPPoE - for basic Internet Access service with Best Effort QoS, utilizing PPPoE Service Type.Gold, Silver and Bronze Teleworking - for teleworking applications with different QoS requirements. The pre-configured Teleworking Services are asymmetric: DL Rate > UL Rate.Gold, Silver and Bronze LAN-to-LAN - for LAN-to LAN applications with different QoS requirements. The pre-configured LAN-to-LAN Services are symmetric: DL rate = UL rate.VoIP Service Profiles - for DRAP-based gateways. Two pre configured VoIP service Profiles are defined; VoIP 1V for gateways with a single POTS interface, and VoIP 2V for fully supporting gateways for 2 POTS interfaces.Service Profiles for Generic (non-DRAP) VoIP Devices:1 POTS Basic VoIP G.729: 1 POTS, no Fax, G.729 codec with a 20 milliseconds sample interval, no priority marking.

232 BreezeMAX Modular Base Station System ManualAppendix A - Software UpgradeA.1 Before you StartLoading of new SW files to the unit's FLASH memory can be performed by a simple loading procedure using a TFTP application. Upgrade packages can be obtained from the Technical Support section of Alvarion's web site, http://www.alvarion.com/. Before performing an upgrade procedure, be sure you have the most recent instructions, and that the correct SW files are available in your computer. If you are loading new SU/AU SW files, verify that no more than two SU/AU SW files exist in the NPU/μBST. If there are three SU/AU SW files in the unit, one of them must be deleted before loading a new SU/AU SW file.Select SU/AU > SW Files in NPU/μBST > Show Files.Select SU/AU > SW Files in NPU/μBST > Delete a File and enter the name of the file to be deleted.NOTEThis section describes software upgrades using the Monitor program. The upgrade procedure can also be performed using AlvariSTAR. For instructions on using AlvariSTAR for software upgrade, refer to "The Software Upgrade Manager" section in the AlvariSTAR User Manual.To view the current SU/AU SW files in NPU/μBST:To delete an SU/AU SW file from NPU/μBST:
File Loading ProcedureBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 233A.2 File Loading Procedure1Verify that you have IP connectivity from your computer to the NPU/μBST (either the MGMT or the DATA port). To verify the connection, ping the unit's IP address and verify that PING replies are being received.2To perform the upgrade, use a DOS TFTP utility with the following syntax: tftp i hostaddress put sourcefilewhere -i stands for binary mode and hostaddress is the IP address of the unit to be upgraded (NPU/μBST). The put command instructs the PC client to send a file to the hostaddress. sourcefile is the name of the SW file in the PC Client.For example, to load the file npu_2_0_1_15 to the NPU whose IP address is 172.17.31.215, use the following command:tftp -i 172.17.31.215 put npu_2_0_1_153Following a successful completion of the file loading process, the Transfer successful DOS message is displayed.4The unit decompresses the loaded file and checks the integrity of the new version. The new version replaces the previous shadow version only after verification. If verification tests fail, the loaded version will be rejected. The unit will reject a file if either the file name or the version number matches the current Main versions. 5Check that the loaded versions exist in the unit: Select Unit Control > SW Versions Control > Show Versions.To load software files:NOTEIt is recommended to upgrade all system elements with the latest software version. Nevertheless, it is possible to upgrade each unit separately and independently.To view the current NPU/μBST SW Versions in the unit:

238 BreezeMAX Modular Base Station System ManualAppendix B - Defining Service Profiles for Generic VoIP GatewaysB.1 IntroductionThis section describes the method used for defining the pre-configured Service Profiles for Generic (3rd party) VoIP devices that do not use the DRAP protocol. The same principles can be used for modifying the pre-configured profiles or creating new ones for VoIP services that have different characteristics.B.1.1 Priority MarkingWe distinguish between two types of Service Profiles for Generic VoIP devices:Marking is not used: This scenario is applicable when the VoIP device behind the SU does not support either DSCP or 802.1p marking to distinguish between different VoIP related traffic types, or when such marking is not used for any reason. The implication is that a single Continuous Grant connection should be used for all VoIP traffic. Marking is used: This scenario is applicable when the VoIP device is capable of marking the different VoIP related traffic types. The assumption is that 3 different priority marks are used: One for RTP traffic, the second for RTCP and VoIP Signaling, and a third one for Data (Device Management).B.1.2 General AssumptionsProtocol Header: 18 bytes for Ethernet L2 header (including 4 bytes for VLAN), plus 40 bytes of IP/UDP/RTP headers. A total of 58 bytes.RTCP bandwidth: RFC 3556, Session Description Protocol (SDP) Bandwidth Modifiers for RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Bandwidth, states that normally, the amount of bandwidth allocated to RTCP in an RTP session is 5% of the session bandwidth. To be on the safe side allocate 10% of the RTP bandwidth to RTCP.VoIP Signaling: Cisco states that its IP Phones generate approximately 150 bps signaling traffic (without L2 overhead). To be on the safe side assume 2 Kbps of VoIP Signaling traffic for each POTS interface. Fax: Fax services are assumed to be based on T.38 Fax Relay. Protocol Header is assumed to be 58 bytes (same as for RTP).Data: Data traffic may include ARP, DHCP, TFTP, SNMP, HTTP and other management protocols. The recommended default bandwidth value is up to 64
IntroductionBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 239Kbps if a Best Effort connection is used for this traffic. If a Continuous Grant service is used for all VoIP related traffic, a lower bandwidth will be allocated to Data traffic. Note that the use of bandwidth consuming protocols when an active call is present should be avoided.

B.2.2 RTP BW CalculationThe required bandwidth for a G.729 call (8 Kbps codec bit rate) with RTP and 20 bytes of voice payload is:Total packet size (bytes) = (Ethernet of 18 bytes) + (IP/UDP/RTP header of 40 bytes) + (voice payload of 20 bytes) = 78 bytesTotal packet size (bits) = (78 bytes) * 8 bits per byte = 624 bitsPPS (Packets Per Second) = (8 Kbps codec bit rate) / (160 bits) = 50 ppsNote: 160 bits = 20 bytes (voice payload) * 8 bits per byteBandwidth per call = Total packet size (624 bits) * 50 pps = 31.2 KbpsB.2.3 RTCP BW CalculationRTCP BW is 10% of RTP: 10% of 31.2 Kbps is 3.12 Kbps.B.2.4 QoS ProfileThe calculated bandwidth required for RTP traffic is 31.2 Kbps. To accommodate for other traffic types, such as RTCP (up to 3.1 Kbps), Voice Signaling (up to 2 Kbps) and Data (Device Management), we allocate to it a total bandwidth of 31.2 x 1.5=46.8 Kbps (equivalent to a Packet Size of 936 bits, or 117 bytes). The SU may
1 POTS Basic VoIP G.729 Service ProfileBreezeMAX Modular Base Station System Manual 241request twice this BW so it will be allocated with up to approximately 94 Kbps. This is assumed to be sufficient for all traffic scenarios, including Call Waiting.Thus, the CG 47 QoS Profile parameters are:Packet Size: 117 bytesSample Interval: 20 msec
