Initial Settings Configuration Procedure
Initial Settings Configuration Procedure
Before starting new device, one should perform initial configuration. The
configuration can be performed either using serial console port or using Telnet
protocol. In order to configure the device using Console port, follow the
instructions below:
„ Device should be connected with host .g. Hyper Terminal)
„ Set serial interface properties to 38400 baud rate, 8 bit, 1 stop bit, parity off,
flow control disabled
„ Enable emulation mode ANSI or VT100, keyboard VT100
To connect using Telnet protocol from the wired LAN run Telnet with 10.10.10.1
IP-address that is configured for the Ethernet interface of the device by default.
If all above procedures are completed correctly, you will see the WanFlex OS
prompt:
Login:
Every new device has got default login and password settings as written below:
Login: admin
Password: private
After default authorization there will be standard console prompt:
console>
Now the device is ready for the initial configuration procedure. The most relevant
thing to be done at this phase is to define device name/user/password.

Device Interfaces
Device Interfaces
The Device has several physical and logical interfaces:
„ lo0 - loopback interface, used for system interaction needs
„ null0 - logical interface, can be used for auxiliary addresses assignation (for
NAT module, for example); for routes aggregation for RIP protocol. Addresses
(subnet) are announced to the network but every packet transmitted through
this interface is destroyed
„ eth0 - First Ethernet 10/100 Mbit interface
„ eth1 - Second Ethernet 10/100 Mbit interface
„ rf5.0
- radio interface. See device's labeling it learn your radio interface
name
„ vlanX - interfaces supporting VLAN 802.1q tagging
All configured interfaces of the device can be reviewed using the following
command:
ifconfig -a

3.3
Command Line Interface (CLI)
Command Line Interface (CLI)
For device's management and configuration a Unix-like command line language is
used. Every command starts having the power right after Enter key is pressed.
However, each command lifetime duration is limited within one configuration
session. In order to save a current configuration "config save" command is used.
Several commands can be grouped in one line using ";" character. If a
wrong-syntax line is met in the group, the rest of the string is checked anyway
and the wrong command is ignored. Command name can be shortened unless the
ambiguity occurs.
If your terminal supports VT100 or ANSI standard you can move around the list of
recently executed commands using cursor keys. Numbered list of these
commands can be reviewed by "!h" command. Any command from this list can be
available using "!" command. TAB key performs substring search of
recently executed commands.
Ctrl/R combination refreshes the command string if its content was disturbed by
system messages.
The command executed with no arguments prints a short hint about its keys,
parameters and syntax.
Context help can be obtained by printing "?" in any position of the line.

Configuration Manipulations
3.5.1
Printing and Saving Your Configuration
You can easily review your current device's configuration by executing "config
show" command. The output of the command is sorted by the configuration
sections (e.g. "System parameters", "Interfaces configuration" etc).
You can review some particular parts of the configuration specifying the part of
the configuration you want to see.
Example:
config show ifc
This command will print the interfaces configuration.
In order to save your configuration "config save" command is used. It saves the
current system configuration in the device's flash memory for subsequent
permanent use. All modifications to the system parameters, if not saved by this
command, are valid only during the current session (until the system reset
occurs).
3.5.2
Import/Export
Export/import of the device's configuration is performed using "config export" and
"config import" commands correspondingly. "Config export" saves the device
configuration on a remote server and "config import" reloads it from a remote
server. The information is transferred using FTP.
Example:
config export user:secret@192.168.1.1/var/conf/test.cfg
"Config import" command writes the uploaded file directly into the Flash memory
without changing the active configuration in RAM. In order to make a new
configuration active, right after "config import" command implementation
finishes the device should be rebooted. If "config save" command is run before
rebooting, Flash memory is overwritten by the copy of the active configuration.
This action will erase the uploaded configuration file.
3.5.3
IP Address Formats
Many commands of the operating system require specification of IP addresses.
Alvarion BreezeNET B300
45
Technical User Manual
Chapter 3 - Basic Configuration Instructions
Configuration Manipulations
In OS WANFleX, the IP-addressees may be specified in traditional numeric format.
Optionally, the mask may be specified either by its bit length (the specified
number of leading bits in the mask are set to 1, the remaining bits are reset to 0)
or numeric value. The IP address 0/0 denotes all possible IP addresses.
Therefore, the possible formats to specify IP-addresses are:
nn.nn.nn.nn (no mask is used)
nn.nn.nn.nn/N (N is the bit length of the mask)
nn.nn.nn.nn:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the numerical value of the mask)
Example:
The 192.168.9.0/24 address describes the network address 192.168.9.0 and the
mask with leading 24 bits on.
The same set of addresses may be denoted as 192.168.9.0:255.255.255.0.

Ethernet Interface Configuration
Ethernet Interface Configuration
In the most basic form Ethernet interface can be configured as follows:
ifconfig eth0 1.1.1.1/24 up
UP flag means than the interface is turned to UP state.
Also you can specify the following parameters for the Ethernet interface:
„ Media type. By default media type is selected automatically (media auto
parameter).
„ Assign aliases to the Ethernet interface (alias key word)
Full information about interfaces configuration can be reviewed in OS WanFlex
User Guide - ifconfig command.

3.7
Radio Interface Configuration
Radio Interface Configuration
Radio interface configuration is performed using "rfconfig" command. In its most
basic form one need to configure the following parameters of the radio interface:
„ Frequency (freq parameter) in MHz. For example, 5260.
„ Bit-rate (bitr parameter). Bit transfer rate in kBits/sec.
„ System identifier (SID parameter). A hexadecimal number in the range of 1H to
FFFFFFH. All devices that are supposed to see each other on the same radio
link must have the same identifier.
NOTE
Radio interface state is not saved in the configuration. That means that if you put radio interface to
the down state after rebooting it will be in the up state.
To learn your device's radio module capabilities type the command:
rfconfig  capabilities
 - radio interface name. Can be read on the device's labeling located on
the case.
Radio interface configuration is performed using "rfconfig" command.
Example:
rfconfig rf5.0 freq 5260 bitr 130000 sid 01010101
Additional important parameters and settings for the radio interface:
„ rf5.0 - radio interface name in this case. In order to obtain radiointerface
name either see the ODU/Device labeling or execute "ifc -a" command.
„ pwr - transmitting power selection. Available power levels can be obtained
using "capabilities" parameter as shown above
„ distance: this parameter is used to set the exact distance value between two
devices (in kilometers). This parameter changes time values for some delays
Alvarion BreezeNET B300

and time-outs thus making possible to work on longer distances with smooth
adjustment.
There are several ways to manage this parameter:
»
If you set an exact value, this value is used no matter what the connection
method is used
»
If the device has auto value instead of a number (by default), the device will
configure its parameters automatically. While configuration showing, there
might be the current distance value after auto parameter: auto (XX). Auto
mode is recommended to be used
»
If distance parameter is set to 0 radio module will work on the distances
from 0-3 km.
Example:
rfconfig rf5.0 freq 5260 bitr 300000 sid 10203040
rfconfig rf5.0 pwr 63 distance auto

Ltest
Ltest utility allows precise test of a radio link. It is recommended for antenna
alignment when installing a new device or for testing of existing radio link.
Ltest can work in standard, alignment and bandwidth modes.
Standard mode:
In standard mode Ltest measures signal levels, retries, lost packets and acks.
To start Ltest in this mode:
ltest rf5.0 
When "ltest" command starts it will show you output information that contains
testing results. You can see Ltest output below:
Figure 4-1: Ltest
For successful radio link establishing the following factors have to be considered:
Alvarion BreezeNET B300
52
Technical User Manual
Chapter 4 - Link Configuration
Link Diagnostic Tools
It is recommended to start antenna alignment with searching maximum signal
level on a minimal possible bitrate. Afterwards automatic MINT mechanisms
will set the most appropriate bitrate if autobitrate mode will be enabled.
Current incoming signal level in "amp/max" columns (see "ltest" command
output) must be between 12 and 40.
When it is more than 40 it is recommended to lower amplifier power.
If maximal signal level is less than 12 it is recommended to lower bitrate or
channel width (for example, from 20MHz to 10MHz on the both sides of the
radio link).
In some cases signal level that is less then 12 may be enough for radio link
operation. In this case one has to be guided by such parameters as number of
retries, number of undelivered packets and number of undelivered acks. If the
number of undelivered packets and the number of undelivered acks is null,
the number of retries is small and all these parameters are constant in time
then the radio link, most often, will be operating properly.
Number of retries value in "rt%" columns must be as close to zero as possible.
Number of undelivered packets value in "up%" columns must be zero; if this
value is not zero then the radio link couldn't be exploit.
Number of undelivered acks value in "ua%" columns must be zero; if this value
is not zero then the radio link couldn't be exploit.
ALL described parameters must be observed in the both (Local and Remote)
sections of the "ltest" command output.
Alignment mode:
The difference of this mode from the standard one is that "ant.amps" column is
used instead of "amp/max". "Ant.amps" column indicates signal levels for each of
two antennas of a devce divided by ":" correspondingly.
To start Ltest in this mode:
ltest rf5.0  -align [N,R]
Ltest output in alignment mode:

Bandwidth mode (Bandwidth meter):
Bandwidth meter is used to test the following radio link characteristics: speed in
kilobits per second, speed in packets per second, number of retries and errors.
Use the following "ltest" command options for testing:
„ -tu [seconds] - Unidirectional test: packets are transmitted only from the
current side to the specified address ("target" option)
„ -tb [seconds] - Bidirectional test: packets are transmitted in both directions
"Seconds" parameter allows setting test period (5 seconds by default). Maximum
value is 60 seconds.
To start Ltest in this mode:

Muffer
The muffer module makes it possible to rapidly test the electromagnetic
environment, visually estimate the efficiency of the utilization of the air links,
reveal sources of interference, and estimate their power.
Several operating regimes of the muffer module provide for different levels of
details in test results
4.1.2.1
Review Mode
This regime is enabled by the review option. It makes possible to have a general
estimation of emissions and interference within specified frequency range.
NOTE
Normal operation of the radio is not possible in this mode.
This regime can be useful on the first steps of link configuration. One can observe
the activity on the selected list of frequencies and make decisions of what
frequencies can be used for the link so that the link did not interfere with other
sources of signals.
Figure 4-4: Muffer Review Mode
The picture above shows the output of review mode.
To run the review mode please type the following command:
muffer  review
Alvarion BreezeNET B300
55
Technical User Manual
Chapter 4 - Link Configuration
Link Diagnostic Tools
Once the link is established you can use this mode to review the activity on the
configured for frequency for the link. If no activity is observed that means that the
signal from the remote side is being broken by the interference sources or by the
obstacles on the signal propagation path.
4.1.2.2
MAC2 Mode
This regime performs MAC-address analysis to estimate the efficiency of
utilization of the air link. The analysis is carried out at the frequency previously
specified by rfconfig command. The mac2 regime checks both data packets and
the link-level ACK messages sent by protocol supported devices.
NOTE
Normal operation of the radio is not possible in this mode.
The picture below shows the output mac2 regime.
Figure 4-5: Muffer MAC2 Mode
Like in review mode this regime provides with the information about a current
activity but on the configured frequency.
To run the review mode please type the following command:

Statistics
The statistics gathering is used for estimating link load intensity. The amount of
packets sent and received, and the number of retransmissions is shown for each
MAC address participating in the data exchange.
The statistics output is presented in the picture below.
Figure 4-6: Muffer Statistics Mode
The following decisions can be made by analyzing the outputted parameters:
„ If the number of repeated packets is comparable with total number of packets
that means that you might have an interference source on the selected
frequency. For normally operating link the percentage of repeated packets
should not exceed 10%. It is extremely important to obtain a permanent zero
value for the average number of repeats per packet. If the value is not zero that
means that the link is NOT working properly and requires further
improvement
„ If total percentage of repeated packets and the percentage of packets that were
repeated at least once are close to each other that might mean that you have
Alvarion BreezeNET B300
57
Technical User Manual
Chapter 4 - Link Configuration
Link Diagnostic Tools
got a permanent source of interference. Otherwise, it means that a strong
interference source appears from time to time breaking your signal
„ Concerning the fact that statistics module outputs the information for each
MAC-address separately, you can reveal the problem for some specific unit on
the wireless network
The "muffer stat" command shows the statistics only from registered devices.
To view statistics type the following command:
muffer stat
To reset all counters please type
muffer stat clear
4.1.2.4
Other Modes of Muffer
The muffer also has the following modes:
„ mac mode. Compared to the mac2 mode this mode does not take link-level
ACK messages sent by protocol support devices into account
„ mac2 mode. This mode is used to detect impulse interference and doesn't
disturb radio model normal operation.
„ mac3 mode. Compared to mac2 mode this mode also performs calculation of
impulse interference.
„ mynet mode. This mode performs the radio testing without disturbing radio
module's normal operation, but taking into account only packets from within
the given network
„ sid mode. The sid regime allows estimating the number of currently operating
subscriber groups having different identifiers (SID), and the efficiency of air
links utilization. The analysis is carried out for all network identifiers at the
frequency previously specified for the radio module by rfconfig command.
„ Sensor mode. In this mode shows the radio environment testing results on the
screen in a visual-digital format.
