Introducing BreezeACCESS VL

BreezeACCESS VL is a high capacity, IP services oriented Broadband

Wireless Access system. The system employs wireless packet switched

data technology to support high-speed IP services including fast

Internet and Virtual Private Networks. BreezeACCESS users are

provided with a network connection that is always on, supporting

immediate access to the Internet and other IP services at high data

rates. The system is designed for cellular-like deployment, enabling the

system architecture to vary in size and structure. A system can include

any number of cells, each containing several Access Units for better

coverage of densely populated areas.

The system supports Virtual LANs based on IEEE 802.1Q, enabling

secure operation and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services and

enabling tele-workers or remote offices to conveniently access their

enterprise network. The system supports layer-2 traffic prioritization

based on IEEE 802.1p and layer-3 traffic prioritization based on IP ToS

(RFC791).

BreezeACCESS VL products operate in unlicensed frequency bands in

Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode, using Orthogonal Frequency Division

Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation with Forward Error Correction (FEC)

coding. Using the enhanced multi-path resistance capabilities of OFDM

modem technology, BreezeACCESS VL enables operation in near and

non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments. These qualities enable service

providers to reach a previously inaccessible and broader segment of the

subscriber population.

BreezeACCESS VL is designed to enable construction of “mixed” cells,

where it can be used together with other BreezeACCESS products using

GFSK modulation, including BreezeACCESS II, BreezeACCESS MMDS,

BreezeACCESS XL and BreezeACCESS V.

BreezeACCESS VL products are currently available in the following

frequency bands:

5.3 5.250 – 5.350

5.4 5.470 – 5.725

5.8 5.725 – 5.850

The available frequencies, as well as other parameters, depend on

applicable local regulations. The actual operating frequencies used by

the system can be configured according to applicable radio regulations

and specific deployment considerations.

A BreezeACCESS VL system is comprised of the following:

! Customer Premise Equipment (CPE): BreezeACCESS VL

Subscriber Units.

! Base Station Equipment (BS): BreezeACCESS VL Access Units and

supporting equipment.

! Networking Equipment: Standard Switches/Routers supporting

connections to the backbone and/or Internet.

Subscriber Unit

The Subscriber Unit (SU) installed at the customer premises enables the

customer data connection to the Access Unit. The Subscriber Unit

provides an efficient platform for high speed Internet and Intranet

services. The use of packet switching technology provides the user with

a connection to the network that is always on, enabling immediate

access to services.

The Subscriber Unit is comprised of a desktop or wall-mountable

Universal Indoor Unit (IDU) and an outdoor unit that contains the

processing and radio modules. Several ODU types are available to

supports a wide range of requirements, as detailed in Table 1-2:

The IDU provides the interface to the user’s equipment and is powered

from the 110/220 VAC mains. The customer's data equipment is

connected via a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ 45)

interface. The indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit via a

Category 5 Ethernet cable. This cable carries Ethernet traffic between

the indoor and the outdoor units, and also transfers power (54 VDC)

and control from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit.

Base Station Equipment

The Access Units, installed at the Base Station site, provide all the

functionality necessary to communicate with the Subscriber Units and

to connect to the backbone of the Service Provider.

There are 2 lines of Access Units with different architectures

! Modular Base Station Equipment

! Standalone “Micro-Cell” Access Unit

Modular Base Station Equipment

The Base Station Equipment is based on the BS-SH-VL 3U chassis,

which is suitable for installation in 19-inch racks. The chassis contains

one or two Power Supply modules and has 8 slots that can

accommodate BS-AU-VL Network Interface modules. These slots can

also accommodate various combinations of other modules, including

Network Interface (BS-AU) modules for Access Units operating in any of

the bands supported by BreezeACCESS equipment using GFSK

modulation, including BreezeACCESS II, BreezeACCESS MMDS,

BreezeACCESS XL and BreezeACCESS V. It can also accommodate a

BS-GU GPS and Alarms module to support GPS-based synchronization

of BreezeACCESS systems using Frequency Hopping radios.

Two different types of power supply modules are available for the

BreezeACCESS VL modules: The BS-PS-DC-VL that is powered from a

-48 VDC power source, and the BS-PS-AC-VL, powered from the

110/220 VAC mains. The optional use of two power supply modules

ensures fail-safe operation through power supply redundancy. When

the same chassis is used also for Access Unit modules belonging to

other BreezeACCESS families using GFSK modulation, then one BS-PS-

VL power supply (AC or DC) should be used to provide power to the

BreezeACCESS VL Access Units, and a different power supply module,

suitable for GFSK equipment, is required for powering the

BreezeACCESS GFSK Access Units.

Each BS-AU module, together with its outdoor AU-D/E-BS-ODU radio

unit and an antenna comprise an AU-D/E-BS Access Unit that serves a

single sector.

The AU-D/E-BS-ODU outdoor unit contains the processing and radio

modules and connects to an external antenna using a short RF cable.

E model units are supplied without an antenna.

D model units are supplied with a detached antenna, where the

available antennas are listed in Table 1-4:

Table 1-4: AU Detached Antennas

NOTE

For antennas specified for the band 5.150 – 5.875 GHz, the gain in the band

4.9 – 5.15 GHz is lower by 1 dB max. than the gain specified in the table.

The BS-AU indoor module connects to the network through a standard

IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ 45) interface. The indoor module

is connected to the outdoor unit via a Category 5 Ethernet cable. This

cable carries Ethernet traffic between the indoor module and the

outdoor unit, and also transfers power (54 VDC) and control from the

indoor module to the outdoor unit.

Chapter 1 - System Description

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

1-8

Standalone “Micro-cell” Access Unit

The standalone AU-D/E-SA Access Unit is very similar to the

AU-D/E-BS unit. The AU-D/E-SA-ODU outdoor unit is very similar to

the AU-D/E-BS-ODU outdoor unit (identical functionality, but the units

are not interchangeable). The available antennas for D model units are

the same as those of the AU-D-BS Access Unit. The main difference is in

the structure of the indoor part; in the AU-D/E-SA Access Unit the

indoor unit is a standalone desktop or wall-mountable unit (the same

Universal IDU that is also used in the SU) rather than a 19” module.

The IDU connects to the network through a standard IEEE 802.3

Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ 45) interfaces and is powered from the

110/220 VAC mains. The indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit

via a Category 5 Ethernet cable. This cable carries Ethernet traffic

between the indoor and the outdoor units, and also transfers power

(54 VDC) and control from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit.

NOTE

The AU-D/E-SA-ODU and the AU-D/E-BS-ODU are not interchangeable:

The AU-D/E-SA-ODU cannot be used with the BS-AU; the AU-D/E-BS-ODU cannot be

used with the Universal IDU.

Networking Equipment

Manual Revision 1.0

1-9

Networking Equipment

The Base Station equipment is connected to the backbone through

standard data communication and telecommunication equipment. The

10/100BaseT ports of the AU modules can be connected directly to a

multi-port router or to an Ethernet switch connected to a router.

The point-to-point link from the Base Station to the backbone can be

either wired or wireless. Data to the Internet is routed to the backbone

through standard routers.

Chapter 1 - System Description

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

1-10

Management Systems

The end-to-end IP-based architecture of the system enables full

management of all components, from any point in the system.

BreezeACCESS VL components can be managed using standard

management tools through SNMP agents that implement standard and

proprietary MIBs for remote setting of operational modes and

parameters. The same SNMP management tools can also be used to

manage other system components including switches, routers and

transmission equipment. Security features incorporated in

BreezeACCESS VL units restrict access for management purposes to

specific IP addresses and/or directions, which means from the Ethernet

and/or wireless link.

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.

BreezeCONFIG

The BreezeCONFIG for BreezeACCESS VL utility is an SNMP-based

application designed to manage BreezeACCESS VL system components

and upgrade unit software versions. The system administrator can use

the BreezeCONFIG utility to control a large number of units from a

single location. In addition, BreezeCONFIG enables you to load an

updated configuration file to multiple units simultaneously, thus

radically reducing the time spent on unit configuration maintenance.

Equipment Location Guidelines

This section provides key guidelines for selecting the optimal

installation locations for the various BreezeACCESS VL system

components.

NOTE

ONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and

safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government

regulatory authorities should install outdoor units and antennas.

Failure to do so may void the BreezeACCESS product warranty and may expose the

end user or Service Provider to legal and financial liabilities. Alvarion and its resellers or

distributors are not liable for injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the

installation of Outdoor Units or antennas.

Select the optimal locations for the equipment using the following

guidelines:

! The outdoor unit can be either pole or wall mounted. Its location

should enable easy access to the unit for installation and testing.

! The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable

link quality.

! AU-ODU units should be installed as close as possible to the

antenna.

! The antenna connected to the AU-ODU unit, should be installed so

as to provide coverage to all Subscriber Units within its service area.

NOTE

The recommended minimum distance between any two antennas serving adjacent

sectors is 2 meters. The recommended minimum distance between two antennas

serving opposite cells (installed back-to-back) is 5 meters.

! The antenna of the SU (integrated on the front side of SU-A-ODU

and SU-A-H-ODU unit) should be installed to provide a direct, or

near line of sight with the Base Station antenna. The antenna

should be aligned to face the Base Station.

! The indoor equipment should be installed as close as possible to the

location where the indoor-to-outdoor cable enters the building. The

location of the indoor equipment should take into account its

connection to a power outlet and the CPE.

NOTE

The system complies with the ETS 300 491-1 standard and is protected against

secondary lightning strikes when the Outdoor Unit is properly grounded according to the

relevant country specific industry standards for protection of structures against lightning.

The system complies with EN 61000 4 5 test level 3 (2kV).

Installing the Outdoor Unit

Manual Revision 1.0

Installing the Outdoor Unit

The following sections describe how to install the outdoor units,

including pole mounting the ODU, and connecting the indoor-to-

outdoor, grounding and RF cables.

Pole Mounting the Outdoor Unit

The Outdoor Unit can be mounted on a pole using one of the following

options:

! Special brackets and open-ended bolts are supplied with each unit.

There are two pairs of threaded holes on the back of the unit,

Aligning the Subscriber Unit Antenna

Manual Revision 1.0

3-5

Aligning the Subscriber Unit Antenna

The SNR bar display is located on the bottom panel of the outdoor unit.

The ten LEDs are used for indicating the quality of the received signal.

The higher the number of green LEDs indicating On, the higher the

quality of the received signal. This section describes how to align the

Subscriber Unit antenna using the SNR bar display.

NOTE

Antenna alignment using the SNR bar display is possible only after the Subscriber Unit

is associated with an Access Unit. The associated Access Unit must be operational and

the basic Subscriber Unit parameters must be correctly configured. If not, the unit will

not be able to synchronize with the Access Unit. As the SNR measurement is performed

on received frames, its results are meaningless unless the Subscriber Unit is associated

with an Access Unit.

1. Align the antenna by pointing it in the general direction of the Base

Station.

2. Verify that the power indication of the unit is On.

3. Verify that the W-LINK LED of the ODU is On, indicating that the

unit is associated with an Access Unit. If the W-LINK LED is Off,

check that the ESSID and Frequency parameters are correctly

configured. If the SU is still not associated with the AU, increase the

transmit power level to its maximum value. If the unit is still not

associated with the AU, improve the quality of the link by changing

the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or

alternate location.

4. Rotate the antenna until the maximum SNR reading is achieved,

where at least 1 green LED is on: If you encounter prolonged

difficulty in illuminating the minimum required number of green

LEDs, try to improve the reception quality by placing the antenna at

a higher point or in an alternate location.

5. Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the Base

Station. However, in certain conditions, such as when the line of site

to the Base Station is hampered, better reception may be achieved

using a reflected signal. In this case, the antenna is not always

directed toward the Base Station.

To align the Subscriber Unit antenna:

Chapter 3 - Commissioning

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

3-6

6. Secure the unit firmly to the pole.

NOTE

In some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to ensure that the level at which the

SU receives transmissions from the AU (and vice versa) is not too high. As a rule of

thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the AU, it is

recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15°. To guarantee a safety

margin from the saturation level (received signal of -40dBm at the antenna port), the

SNR should not be higher than 50dB. The orange LED of the SNR bar indicates that the

SNR is higher than 50dB.

Configuring the Subscriber Unit’s Maximum Modulation Level

Manual Revision 1.0

3-7

Configuring the Subscriber Unit’s

Maximum Modulation Level

This section describes how to configure the maximum modulation level

for BreezeACCESS VL Subscriber Units.

NOTE

If the unit is associated with the AU, then the final configuration of the Maximum

Modulation Level parameter may be performed remotely, for example, from the site of

the AU or from another site.

1. If the SNR of the SU at the AU is too low, it is recommended that

you configure the Maximum Modulation Level parameter to a value

that is lower than the maximum supported by the unit. This can

decrease the number of retransmissions due to attempts to transmit

at modulation levels that are too high for the actual quality of the

link.

2. Check the SNR of the SU at the AU. You can use Telnet to view the

SNR values in the MAC Address Database, which can be accessed

from the Site Survey menu. If the ATPC algorithm is not enabled in

both AU and SU, the test should be done with the Initial Power Level

at the SU configured to its maximum value. If the SNR is lower than

the values required for the maximum modulation level according to

Table 3-2, it is recommended that you decrease the value of the

Maximum Modulation Level.

NOTE

The SNR measurement at the AU is accurate only when receiving transmissions from

the applicable SU. If necessary, use the Ping Test utility in the Site Survey menu to

verify data transmission.

3. Configure the Maximum Modulation Level according to Table 3-2,

using the typical SNR values. It is recommended that a 2 dB margin

be added to compensate for possible measurement inaccuracy or

variance in the quality of the link.

To configure the Maximum Modulation Level:

Site Survey Menu

The Site Survey menu displays the results of various tests and counters

for verifying the quality of the wireless link. These tests can be used to

help determine where to position the units for optimal coverage,

antenna alignment and troubleshooting. The counters can serve for

evaluating performance and identify potential problems. In the AU,

there is also an extensive database for all SUs served by it.

The Site Survey menu includes the following options:

! Traffic Statistics

! Ping Test

! Continuous Link Quality display (SU only)

! MAC Address Database

! Per Modulation Level Counters

Traffic Statistics

The traffic statistics are used to monitor, interpret and analyze the

performance of the wired and wireless links. The counters display

statistics relating to wireless link and Ethernet frames. The Traffic

Statistics menu includes the following options:

! Display Counters: Select this option to display the current value of

the Ethernet and wireless link (WLAN) counters.

! Reset Counters: Select this option to reset the counters.

Ethernet Counters

The unit receives Ethernet frames from its Ethernet port and forwards

the frames to its internal bridge, which determines whether each frame

should be transmitted to the wireless media. Frames discarded by the

unit's hardware filter are not counted by the Ethernet counters. The

maximum length of a regular IEEE 802.1 Ethernet frame that can be

accepted from the Ethernet port is 1518 bytes. For tagged IEEE 802.1Q

frames the maximum size is 1522 bytes.

The unit transmits valid data frames received from the wireless media to

the Ethernet port, as well as internally generated frames, such as

responses to management queries and pings received via the Ethernet

port. The Ethernet Counters include the following statistics:

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

4-28

! Total received frames via Ethernet: The total number of frames

received from the Ethernet port. This counter includes both invalid

frames (with errors) and valid frames (without errors).

! Transmitted wireless to Ethernet: The number of frames

transmitted by the unit to the Ethernet port. These are generally

frames received from the wireless side, but also include frames

generated by the unit itself.

WLAN Counters

The unit submits data frames received from the Ethernet port to the

internal bridge, as well as self generated control and wireless

management frames. After a unicast data frame is transmitted, the unit

waits for an acknowledgement (ACK) message from the receiving unit.

Some control and wireless management frames, as well as broadcast

and multicast frames sent to more than one unit, are not acknowledged.

If an ACK is not received after a predefined time, which is determined by

the Maximum Cell distance parameter, the unit retransmits the frame

until an ACK is received. If an ACK is not received before the number of

retransmissions has reached a maximum predefined number, which is

determined by the Number of HW Retries and Number of SW Retries

parameters, the frame is dropped.

The Wireless Link Counters include the following statistics:

! Total transmitted frames to wireless: The number of frames

transmitted to the wireless media. The total includes one count for

each successfully transmitted unicast frame (excluding

retransmissions), and the number of transmitted multicast and

broadcast frames, including control and wireless management

frames. In the AU, there are also separate counters for the following:

# Beacons (AU only)

# Management and Other Data frames, including successfully

transmitted unicast frames and multicast/broadcast data

frames (excluding retransmissions, excluding Beacons in AU)

! Total Transmitted Unicasts (AU only): The number of unicast

frames successfully transmitted to the wireless media, excluding

retransmissions. This count is useful for calculating the rates of

retransmissions or dropped frames, since only unicast frames are

retransmitted if not acknowledged.

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

4-29

! Total submitted frames (bridge): The total number of data frames

submitted to the internal bridge for transmission to the wireless

media. The count does not include control and wireless

management frames, or retransmissions. There are also separate

counts for each priority queue to which the frames were routed,

which are High, Mid and Low (currently the High queue is not used

for data frames).

! Frames dropped (too many retries): The number of dropped

frames, which are the frames unsuccessfully retransmitted until the

maximum permitted number of retransmissions without being

acknowledged. This count includes dropped data frames as well as

dropped control and wireless management frames.

! Total retransmitted frames: The total number of retransmissions,

including all unsuccessful transmissions and retransmissions.

! Total Tx events: The total number of transmit events. Typically,

transmission events include cases where transmission of a frame

was delayed or was aborted before completion. The following

additional counters are displayed to indicate the reason for and the

nature of the event:

# Dropped: The number of dropped frames, which are the frames

unsuccessfully retransmitted until the maximum permitted

number of retransmissions without being acknowledged.

# Delayed: The number of frames whose transmission was delayed

because they were in the queue for transmission when the SW

Retry mechanism was activated for a previous frame designated

to the same address. (refer to Adaptive Modulation Algorithm on

page 4-81 for more information)

# Underrun: The number of times that transmission of a frame

was aborted because the rate of submitting frames for

transmission exceeds the available transmission capability.

# Others: The number of frames whose transmission was not

completed or delayed due to a problem other than those

represented by the other counters.

! Total received frames from wireless: The total number of frames

received from the wireless media. The count includes data frames as

well as control and wireless management frames. The count does

not include bad frames and duplicate frames. For a description of

these frames, refer to Bad frames received and Duplicate frames

discarded below.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

4-30

! Total received data frames: The total number of data data frames

received from the wireless media, including duplicate frames. Refer

to Duplicate frames discarded below.

! Total Rx events: The total number of frames that were not received

properly. The following additional counters are displayed to indicate

the reason for the failure:

# Phy: Applicable only when DFS is enabled. The number of

unidentified signals.

# CRC: The number of frames received from the wireless media

containing CRC errors.

# Overrun: The number of frames that were discarded because the

receive rate exceeded the processing capability or the capacity of

the Ethernet port.

# Decrypt: The number of frames that were not received properly

due to a problem in the data decryption mechanism.

! Bad fragments received: The number of fragments received from

the wireless media containing CRC errors.

! Duplicate frames discarded: The number of data frames discarded

because multiple copies were received. If an acknowledgement

message is not received by the originating unit, the same data frame

can be received more than once. Although duplicate frames are

included in all counters that include data frames, only the first copy

is forwarded to the Ethernet port.

! Internally discarded MIR\CIR: The number of data frames

received from the Ethernet port that were discarded by the MIR/CIR

mechanism to avoid exceeding the maximum permitted information

rate.

Ping Test

Air Interface Parameters

The Air Interface Parameters menu enables viewing the current Air

Interface parameters defined for the unit and configuring new values for

each of the relevant parameters.

Country Code and Sub Bands

Each country has its own regulations regarding operation modes and

parameters such as allowable frequencies and bandwidth, the need to

employ an automatic mechanism for detection and avoidance of

frequencies used by radar systems, maximum transmit power at each of

the supported modulation levels and the ability to use burst

transmissions. To efficiently manage these country dependent

parameters, each unit has a ‘Country Code’ parameter and a set of

accompanying parameters, which depend on this country code. Where

more than one set of parameters can be used, the available sets are

defined as Sub Bands, selectable through the Frequency configuration

menu.

ESSID Parameters

The ESSID (Extended Service Set ID) is a string used to identify a

wireless network and to prevent the unintentional merging of two

wireless networks or two sectors in the same network. Typically, a

different ESSID is defined for each AU. To facilitate easy addition of SUs

to an existing network without a prior knowledge of which specific AU

will serve it, and to support the Best AU feature, a secondary "global"

ESSID, namely "Operator ESSID", can be configured in the AU. If the

Operator ESSID Option is enabled at the AU, the Beacon frames

transmitted by it will include both the ESSID and Operator ESSID. The

SU shall regard such frames if either the ESSID or the Operator ESSID

matches it own ESSID. The ESSID of the AU with which the SU is

eventually associated is defined as the Run-Time ESSID of the SU.

Typically, the initial ESSID of the SU is configured to the value of the

Operator ESSID. Once the SU has become associated with a specific

AU, its ESSID can be reconfigured to the value of the ESSID of the AU.

ESSID

The ESSID parameter defines the ESSID of the unit.

Valid values: A string of up to 31 printable ASCII characters.

The default value is ESSID1.

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

4-41

NOTE

The ESSID string is case sensitive.

Operator ESSID Parameters (AU only)

ESSID for establishing association with SUs.

The default is Enable.

Operator ESSID

The Operator ESSID parameter defines the Operator ESSID.

Valid values: A string of up to 31 printable ASCII characters.

The default value is ESSID1.

NOTE

The Operator ESSID string is case sensitive.

Frequency Definition Parameters

The parameters that determine the frequency to be used are set in the

AU. The SU should be configured with a minimal set of parameters to

ensure that it will be able to automatically detect and use the frequency

used by the AU, including possible changes in this frequency.

To simplify the installation process the SU scans a definable frequencies

subset after power-up. If the Best AU feature is enabled, the SU will

scan the defined subset and the operating frequency will be determined

by the Best AU mechanism (including the optional use of the Preferred

AU feature). Otherwise the SU will try to associate with the first AU it

finds. If no AU is found, the SU will start another scanning cycle.

Each unit is delivered with one or more pre-configured Sub-Bands,

according to the country code. These sets of parameters include also the

frequencies that can be used and the bandwidth. If more than one Sub-

Band is available, the sub-band to be used can be selected in both the

AU and the SU. If only one Sub-Band is supported, then the sub-band

selection option is not available.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

4-42

In some regions, it is important to ensure that wireless access

equipment does not interfere with certain radar systems in the 5 GHz

band. In case radar is being detected, the wireless access network

should move automatically to a frequency that does not interfere with

the radar system.

The country dependent set of parameters includes also an indication

whether DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) should be used. The DFS

algorithm is designed to detect and avoid operation in channels with

radar activity. If the current sub-band does not support DFS, then the

DFS parameters configuration submenu is not available.

When the DFS Option is enabled, the AU monitors the spectrum

continuously, searching for signals with a specific pattern indication

radar activity. Upon detecting radar activity, the AU immediately stops

transmitting on this frequency and starts looking for another radar-free

frequency. The subset of viable frequencies is configurable.

The AU maintains a continuously updated database of all applicable

frequencies, where each frequency is marked as Radar Free, Radar

Detected or Adjacent to Radar. The AU attempts to check a new

frequency only if it is marked as Radar Free. If a radar activity was

detected on a certain frequency, it will be marked in the database as a

Radar Detected frequency. The AU will not attempt to check for radar

activity in frequencies marked as Radar Detected. A certain time after

detecting radar activity on a frequency, it will be removed from the list

of Radar Detected frequencies and will be marked as Radar Free. If

radar activity was detected on a certain frequency, adjacent channels

should not be used as well, according to the bandwidth. For instance, if

the bandwidth is 20 MHz, then if radar activity was detected in 5800

MHz, frequencies 5790 MHz and 5810 MHz should not be used as well.

These frequencies are marked in the database as Adjacent to Radar,

and will be treated the same as Radar Detected frequencies.

Before ceasing transmission on the frequency where radar signals had

been detected, the AU sends a special disassociation message to its

associated SUs. This message includes an indication whether the SUs

should wait for this AU. If the SUs should wait, the message includes

also the waiting time. During this time each SU searches for the AU in

the defined frequencies subset. If the AU was not found within the

waiting time, or if a waiting request was not included in the message,

the SU starts searching for any AU, using the Best AU mechanism if

applicable.

Best AU Parameters (SU)

An SU that can communicate with more than one AU using the same

ESSID may become associated with the first AU it "finds", not

necessarily the best choice in terms of quality of communication or

other factors such as number of SUs serviced by each AU. The same

limitation also exists if only one AU in the neighborhood has an ESSID

identical to the one used by the SU, since it is not always necessarily

the best choice.

The topology of a fixed access network is constantly changing. 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 a SU to

connect to the best AU in its neighborhood.

When the Best AU feature is used, each of the AUs is given a quality

mark based on the level at which it is received by the SU. The SU scans

for a configured number of cycles, gathering information from all the

AUs it can communicate with. 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. The quality mark given to each

AU depends on the level at which it is received by the SU.

The Best AU selection mechanism can be overridden by defining a

specific AU as the preferred AU.

NOTE

Although the SU selects the Best AU based on long-term conditions prior to the decision

time, it may not always be connected to the instantaneous Best AU at any given time.

Note also that the decision is done only once during the scanning interval. The decision

may not remain the optimal one for ever. If there are significant changes in deployment

of neighboring AUs and the SUs served by them, overall performance may be improved

if the applicable SUs are reset intentionally so as to re-initiate the Best AU decision

process.

The Best AU Parameters menu includes the following options:

Best AU Support

The Best AU Support option enables or disables the Best AU selection

feature.

The default is Disable.

NOTE

If the Best AU feature is not used, the SU associates with the first AU it finds whose

ESSID or Operator ESSID is identical to its own ESSID.

Number Of Scanning Attempts

When the Best AU option is enabled, the SU gathers information on

neighboring AUs for approximately 2 seconds on each of the scanned

frequencies. The Number of Scanning Attempts parameter defines the

number of times that the process will be repeated for all relevant

frequencies. A higher number may result in a better decision at the

cost of an increased scanning time during which the SU is not

operational.

Valid values: 1 - 255.

Default value: 4.

Preferred AU MAC Address

The Preferred AU MAC Address parameter defines a specific AU with

which the SU should associate. Gaining control of the SUs association

is a powerful tool in network management. The Preferred AU MAC

Address parameter is intended for applications where there is a need to

dictate the preferred AU with whom the SU should associate. To prevent

the SU from associating with the first viable AU it finds, the Best AU

Support mechanism should be enabled. Once the SU has identified the

preferred AU based on its MAC address, it will associate with it and

terminate the scanning process. If the preferred AU is not found, the SU

will associate with an AU according to the decision reached using the

best AU algorithm.

Valid values: A MAC address string.

The default value for the Preferred AU MAC Address is 00-00-00-00-00-

00 (12 zeros), meaning that there is no preferred AU.

Show Best AU Parameters and Data

The Show Best AU Parameters and Data option displays the applicable

information:

The Neighboring AU Data table displays for each AU that the unit can

communicate with the following details:

! MAC Address

! SNR of the received signal

! Mark - The computed quality mark for the AU.

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

4-49

! Full - The association load status of the AU. It is defined as full if

the number of SUs associated with the AU has reached the

maximum allowed according to the value of the Maximum Number

of Associations parameter. An AU whose associations load status is

full cannot be selected as the Best AU, even if its' computed mark is

the highest.

! ESSID - The ESSID of the AU.

In addition to the neighboring AU data table, the following information

is displayed:

! Best AU Support

! Preferred AU MAC Address

! Number of Scanning Attempts

! Associated AU MAC Address (the MAC address of the selected AU)

Scanning Mode (SU only)

The Scanning Mode parameter defines whether the SU will use Passive

or Active scanning when searching for an AU.

In passive scanning, the SU “listens” to the wireless media for

approximately two seconds at each frequency, searching for beacons.

The disassociation period, which is the time from the moment the link

was lost until the SU decides that it should start searching for another

AU, is approximately seven seconds.

In some situations when there is a high probability that SUs might need

to roam among different AUs, the use of active scanning enables to

significantly reduce the link establishment time. This is achieved by

using shorter dwell periods, transmitting a Probe Request at each

frequency. This reduces the time spent at each frequency as well as the

disassociation period.

When DFS Option is enabled, Scanning Mode is forced to Passive.

The default selection is Passive.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration

Power Control Parameters

The Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) algorithm simplifies the

installation process and ensures optimal performance while minimizing

interference to other units. This is achieved by automatically adjusting

the power level transmitted by each SU according to the actual level at

which it is received by the AU. To support proper operation of the

system with optimal performance and minimum interference between

neighboring sectors, the ATPC algorithm should be enabled in all units.

The algorithm is controlled by the AU that calculates for each received

frame the average SNR at which it receives transmissions from the

specific SU. The average calculation takes into account the previous

calculated average, thus reducing the effect of short temporary changes

in link conditions. The weight of history (the previous value) in the

formula used for calculating the average SNR is determined by a

configurable parameter. In addition, the higher the time that has passed

since the last calculation, the lower the impact of history on the

calculated average. If the average SNR is not in the configured target

range, the AU transmits to the SU a power-up or a power-down

message. The target is that each SU will be received at an optimal level,

or as high (or low) as possible if the optimal range cannot be reached

because of specific link conditions.

Each time that the SU tries to associate with the AU (following either a

reset or loss of synchronization), it will initiate transmissions using its'

Transmit Power parameters. If after a certain time the SU does not

succeed to synchronize with the AU, it will start increasing the transmit

power level.

In an AU the maximum supported transmit power is typically used to

provide maximum coverage. However, there may be a need to decrease

the transmitted power level in order to support relatively small cells and

to minimize the interference with the operation of neighboring cells, or

for compliance with local regulatory requirements.

In some cases the maximum transmit power of the SU should be limited

to ensure compliance with applicable regulations or due to other

reasons.

Different power levels may be used for different modulation levels to

optimize performance taking into account the different modulation

schemes as well as possible regulatory restrictions.

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

4-51

Transmit Power

The Transmit Power parameters are defined separately for different

modulation levels. Note that the supported modulation levels depend on

the Min modulation Level and Max Modulation Level defined for the

applicable Sub Band.

In the AU, the Transmit Power parameter defines the fixed transmit

power level and is not a part of the ATPC algorithm.

In the SU, The Initial Transmit Power parameter defines the fixed

transmit power level when the ATPC algorithm is disabled. If the ATPC

Option is enabled the value configured for this parameter serves for

setting the initial value to be used by the ATPC algorithm after either

power up or loosing synchronization with the AU.

The minimum value for the Transmit Power Parameters is -10 dBm.

(The ATPC may reduce the actual transmit power of the SU to lower

values). The maximum value of the Transmit Power Parameter depends

on several unit properties and parameters:

! The HW revision of the unit

! The modulation level

! The Maximum Allowed Tx Power as defined for the applicable Sub

Band.

! The Maximum EIRP as defined for the applicable Sub Band,

together with the value of the Antenna Gain. In certain countries the

Maximum EIRP of some equipment types cannot exceed a certain

value. In these cases the Transmit Power cannot exceed the value of

(Maximum EIRP – Antenna Gain).

! Maximum Tx Power parameter (in SU only)

For information on how to view the Sub Bands supported by the unit

and the supported parameters’ values and options, refer to Show

Country Dependent Parameters on page 4-9.

The unit calculates the maximum allowed Transmit Power according to

the unit properties and parameters listed above, and displays the

allowed range when a Transmit Power parameter is selected.

The default Transmit Power is the highest allowed value.

Maximum Tx Power (SU only)

The Maximum Tx Power parameter limits the maximum transmit power

that can be reached by the ATPC algorithm. It also sets the upper limits

for the Transmit Power parameters.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

4-52

The minimum value for the Maximum Tx Power is -10 dBm. The

maximum value depends on several unit properties and parameters:

! The HW revision of the unit

! The modulation level

! The Maximum Allowed Tx Power as defined for the applicable Sub

Band.

! The Maximum EIRP as defined for the applicable Sub Band,

together with the value of the Antenna Gain. In certain countries the

Maximum EIRP of some equipment types cannot exceed a certain

value. In these cases the Transmit Power cannot exceed the value of

(Maximum EIRP – Antenna Gain).

For information on how to view the Sub Bands supported by the unit

and the supported parameters’ values and options, refer to Show

Country Dependent Parameters on page 4-9.

The unit calculates the maximum allowed Maximum Tx Power

according to the unit properties and parameters listed above, and

displays the allowed range when the Maximum Tx Power parameter is

selected.

The default Maximum Tx Power is the highest allowed value.

ATPC Parameters in AU

ATPC Option

The ATPC Option enables or disables the Automatic Transmit Power

Control (ATPC) algorithm.

The default is Enable.

ATPC Minimum SNR Level

The Minimum SNR Level defines the lowest SNR at which you want

each SU to be received at the AU (the lower limit of the optimal

reception level range).

Available values: 4 to 60 (dB).

Default value: 28 (dB).

ATPC Delta from Minimum SNR Level

The Delta from Minimum SNR Level is used to define the highest SNR at

which you want each SU to be received at the AU (the higher limit of the

optimal reception level range):

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

4-53

Max. Level=Minimum SNR Level + Delta from Minimum SNR Level.

Available values: 4 to 20 (dB) for units operating in the 5.2, 5.4 and 5.8

GHz bands. 11 to 20 (dB) for units operating in the 4.9 and 5.3 GHz

bands.

Default value: 4 (dB) for units operating in the 5.2, 5.4 and 5.8 GHz

bands. 11 (dB) for units operating in the 4.9 and 5.3 GHz bands.

Minimum Interval Between ATPC Messages

The Minimum Interval Between ATPC Messages parameter sets the

minimal time between consecutive power-up/power-down messages to a

specific SU. Setting a low value for this parameter may lead to a higher

overhead and an excessive rate of power level changes at the SUs. High

values for this parameter increase the time it will take until the SUs

reach optimal transmit power level.

Available values: 1 to 3600 seconds.

Default value: 30 seconds.

ATPC Power Level Step

The ATPC Power Level Step parameter defines the step size to be used

by the SUs for incrementing/decrementing the Current Transmit

Power after receiving a power-up/power-down message. If the distance

between the value of the Current Transmit Power and the desired

range is smaller than the step size, the power-up/power-down message

will include the specific step value required for this condition.

Valid range: 1-20 (dB)

Default value: 5 (dB)

ATPC Parameters in SU

ATPC Option

The ATPC Option enables or disables the Automatic Transmit Power

Control (ATPC) algorithm. The parameter takes effect immediately.

However, when changed from Enable to Disable, the transmit power

level shall remain at the last Current Transmit Power determined by the

ATPC algorithm before it was disabled. It will change to the value

configured for the Initial Transmit Power parameter only after the next

reset or following loss of synchronization.

The default is Enable.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

4-54

Antenna Gain

The Antenna Gain parameter enables to define the net gain of a

detached antenna. The configured gain should take into account the

attenuation of the cable connecting the antenna to the unit. The

Antenna Gain is important especially in countries where there is a limit

on the EIRP allowed for the unit; the maximum allowed value for the

Transmit Power parameters cannot exceed the value of (EIRP- Antenna

Gain), where the EIRP is defined in the selected Sub Band.

In certain units with an integral antenna the Antenna Gain is not

available as a configurable parameter. However, it is available as a read-

only parameter in the applicable “Show” menus.

The range is 0 – 50 (dB). A value of “Don’t Care” means that the actual

value is not important. A value of “Not Set Yet” means that the unit will

not transmit until the actual value (in the range 0 to 50) is configured.

The unit can be configured to “Don’t Care” or “Not Set Yet” only in

factory (when upgraded to SW version 2.0 from a lower version it will be

set automatically to one of these options). Once a value is configured, it

is not possible to reconfigure the unit to either “Don’t Care” or “Not Set

Yet”.

The default value depends on unit type. In SUs with integral antenna it

is set to 21 (read only). The default value for AUs that are supplied with

a detached antenna is in accordance with the antenna’s gain. In units

supplied without an antenna the default is typically “Not Set Yet”.

Cell Distance Parameters (AU only)

The higher the distance of an SU from the AU that is serving it, the

higher the time it takes for messages sent by one of them to reach the

other. To ensure appropriate services to all SUs regardless of their

distance from the AU while maintaining a high overall performance

level, two parameters should be adapted to the distances of SUs from

the serving AU:

! The time that a unit waits for a response message before

retransmission (acknowledge time delay) should take into account

the round trip propagation delay of the farthest SU. (the one-way

propagation delay at 5 GHz is 3.3 microsecond/km). The higher the

distance from the AU of the farthest SU served by it, the higher

should be the acknowledge time delay for all units in the cell.

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

4-55

! To ensure fairness in the contention back-off algorithm between SUs

located at different distances from the AU, the size of the time slot

should also take into account the one-way propagation delay. The

size of the time slot of all units in the cell should be proportional to

the distance from the AU of the farthest SU served by it.

The distance from the AU of the farthest SU served by it can be

determined either manually or automatically. In manual mode, this

distance is configured manually. In automatic mode, the AU uses a

special algorithm to estimate its distance from each of the SUs it serves,

determine which SU is located the farthest and use the estimated

distance of the farthest SU as the maximum distance.

It should be noted that if the size of the time slot used by all units is

adapted to the distance of the farthest unit, than no unit will have an

advantage when competing for services. However, this reduces the

overall achievable throughput of the cell. In certain situations, the

operator may decide to improve the overall throughput by reducing the

slot size below the value required for full fairness. This means that

when there is competition for bandwidth, the back-off algorithm will

give advantage to SUs that are located closer to the AU.

The Cell Distance Parameters menu includes the following parameters:

Cell Distance Mode

The Cell Distance Mode option defines whether the maximum distance

of the AU from any of the SUs it serves will be determined manually

(using the Maximum Cell Distance parameter) or automatically.

The Options are Automatic or Manual.

The default is Automatic.

Maximum Cell Distance

The Maximum Cell Distance parameter allows configuring the

maximum distance when the Cell Distance Mode option is Manual.

The range is 0 to 54 (Km). The value of 0 has a special meaning for No

Compensation: Acknowledge Time Out is set to a value representing the

maximum distance of 54 km. The time slot size is set to its minimal

value of 9 microseconds.

The default is 0 (No Compensation).

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

4-56

Fairness Factor

The Fairness Factor enables to define the level of fairness in providing

services to different SU. When set to 100%, all SUs have the same

probability of getting services when competing for bandwidth. If set to

X%, than SUs located up to X% of the maximum distance from the AU

will have advantage in getting services over SUs located farther than

this distance.

The range is 0 to 100 (%)

The default is 100 (%).

Show Cell Distance Parameters

Select Show Cell Distance Parameters to view the Cell Distance

parameters. In addition, the Measured Maximum Cell Distance and the

MAC address of the unit that the mechanism found to be the farthest

from the AU are displayed. A distance of 1 km means any distance

below 2km.

Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing (AIFS)

The time interval between two consecutive transmissions of frames is

called Inter-Frame Spacing (IFS). This is the time during which the unit

determines whether the medium is idle using the carrier sense

mechanism. The IFS depends on the type of the next frame to be

transmitted, as follows:

! SIFS (Short Inter-Frame Spacing) is used for certain frames that

should be transmitted immediately, such as ACK and CTS frames.

The value of SIFS is 16 microseconds.

! DIFS (Distributed coordination function Inter-Frame Spacing) is

typically used for other frame types when the medium is free. If the

unit decides that the medium is not free, it will defer transmission

by DIFS plus a number of time slots as determined by the

Contention Window back-off algorithm (see Minimum Contention

Window on page 4-77) after reaching a decision that the medium

has become free.

DIFS equal SIFS plus AIFS, where AIFS can be configured to one or two

time slots. Typically AIFS should be configured to two time slots. A

value of 1 should only be used in one of the two units in a point-to-

point link, where in the other unit the AIFS remains configured to two

time slots. This ensures that the unit with AIFS configured to one has

an advantage over the other unit, provided that the Minimum

Contention Window parameter (see page 4-77) in both units is

configured to 0 to disable the contention window back-off algorithm.

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

4-57

The available options are 1 or 2 (time slots).

The default is 2 time slots.

CAUTION

An AIFS value of 1 should only be used in point-to-point applications. Otherwise the

default value of 2 must always be used. In a point-to-point link, only one unit should be

configured to an AIFS value of 1. When both units need to transmit, the unit with an

AIFS value of 1 shall have an advantage over the unit with AIFS of 2. In this case, the

Minimum Contention Window parameter in both units must be configured to 0 to disable

the contention window back-off algorithm.

Maximum Number of Associations (AU only)

The Maximum Number of Associations parameter defines the maximum

number of Subscriber Units that can be associated with the selected

AU, while still guaranteeing the required quality of service to customers.

Available values range from 0 to 512.

Default value: 512.

NOTE

There is no aging time for SUs. An SU is only removed from the list of associated SUs

under the following conditions:

a. A SNAP frame is received from another AU indicating that the SU is now associated

with the other AU.

b. The SU failed to respond to a certain number of consecutive frames transmitted by

the AU and is considered to have "aged out".

Therefore, the database of associated SUs may include units no longer associated with

the AU. If the number of associated SUs has reached the value of the Maximum

Number of Associations parameter, the selected AU cannot serve additional SUs. To

view the current number of associated SUs, use the Display Association Info option in

the MAC Address Database menu. To delete inactive SUs from the database you must

reset the AU.

Wireless Link Trap Threshold (AU only)

The Wireless Link Trap Threshold parameter defines the threshold for

the wireless quality trap, indicating that the quality of the wireless link

has dropped below (on trap) or has increased above (off trap) the

specified threshold.

The Wireless Link Trap Threshold is in percentage of retransmissions,

and the allowed range is from 1 to 100 (%).

The default is 30 (%).

Country Code Learning by SU

This feature support simplified installation and updates processes by

enabling the SU to adapt the Country Code used by the AU.

The AU advertises its country code in every beacon and association

response message. Upon synchronization the SU shall check if its

country code and the country code received from the AU are the same.

If they are not the same and the Country Code Learning by SU is

enabled, the SU shall use the AU’s country code: the country code

derived limitations shall be forces and the following parameters shall be

set according to new country definitions:

! Maximum TX Power (per modulation level) shall be set to the

maximum defined by country code.

! TX Power (per modulation level) shall be set to the maximum defined

by country code.

! The Modulation Level shall be set to the maximum modulation level

defined by country code.

! The Multicast Modulation Level shall be set to the minimum

modulation level defined by country code.

! The Burst Mode shall be set to enable if the country code supports

burst mode, and the burst duration shall be set to default.

After country code learning (adaptation) the unit is automatically reset.

Before this automatic reset, if the unit is running from shadow version,

the versions must be swapped and the running version must be set as

main. This is done to avoid returning to the previous version, which

shall happen automatically after the reset.

The default is Enable.

4-63

VLAN ID-Data (SU only)

The VLAN ID-Data is applicable only when the VLAN Link Type

parameter is set to Access Link. It enables defining the VLAN ID for data

frames, which identifies the VLAN to which the unit belongs.

Valid values range from 1 to 4094.

Default value: 1.

The VLAN ID-Data affects frames received from the wireless link port, as

follows:

! Only tagged frames with a VLAN ID (VID) equal to the VLAN ID-Data

defined in the unit are forwarded to the Ethernet port.

! The tag headers are removed from the data frames received from the

wireless link before they are transmitted on the Ethernet port.

The VLAN ID-Data affects frames received from the Ethernet port, as

follows:

! A VLAN Data Tag is inserted in all untagged frames received from

the Ethernet port before transmission on the wireless link. The tag

includes the values of the VLAN ID-Data and the VLAN Priority-

Data parameters.

! Tagged frames received on Ethernet port, which are meant to be

forwarded to the wireless link port, are discarded. This includes

frames with tagging for prioritization purpose only.

VLAN ID-Management

The VLAN ID-Management is applicable for all link types. It enables

defining the VLAN ID for management frames, which identifies remote

stations for management purposes. This applies to all management

applications using protocols such as SNMP, TFTP, ICMP (ping), DHCP

and Telnet. All servers/stations using these protocols must tag the

management frames sent to the unit with the value of the VLAN ID-

Management parameter.

Valid values: 1 to 4094 or 65535 (No VLAN).

The default value is 65535.

If the VLAN ID-Management is other than 65535:

! Only tagged management frames with a matching VLAN ID received

on either the Ethernet or wireless link ports are forwarded to the

unit.

(Access Link option is available only in SUs).

The default selection is Hybrid Link.

Access Link (SU only)

Access Link transfers frames while tagging/untagging them since all

devices connected to the unit are VLAN unaware. Thus, the unit cannot

transfer tagged frames.

Trunk Link

Trunk Link transfers only tagged frames, since all devices connected to

the unit are VLAN aware: Only tagged data frames received on the

Ethernet or wireless link ports are forwarded.

CAUTION

It is not recommended that you configure a unit as a Trunk Link with the VLAN ID-

Management parameter set at 65535, as it does not forward any 'NO VLAN'

management frames to its other port making it impossible to manage devices connected

behind the unit that are also configured with 'NO VLAN'.

If the VLAN Forwarding option is enabled, a data frame received with a

VLAN ID that is not a member of the unit's VLAN Forwarding List is

discarded.

NOTE

If the VLAN Forwarding option is enabled, be sure to include the VLAN ID-

Management value of all units that should be managed via the wireless port of the unit,

in the Forwarding List.

If the VLAN Relaying option is enabled in an AU, a data frame relayed

with a VLAN ID that is not a member of the unit's VLAN Relaying List is

discarded.

NOTE

If the VLAN Relaying option is enabled and you manage your devices from behind an

SU unit, be sure to include the VLAN ID-Management value of all units to be managed

when relaying via the wireless port of the AU unit, in the Relaying List. If the VLAN

Forwarding option is also enabled in the AU, these VLAN IDs should also be included in

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

4-69

VLAN Traffic Priority

Each packet to be transmitted to the wireless link is transferred to one

of three queues: Low, Mid and High. Packets in the High queue have the

highest priority for transmission, and those in the Low queue have the

lowest priority.

BreezeACCESS Subscriber and Access units support layer-2 traffic

prioritization according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. The priority field

in the 802.1Q header tag can have a value in the range 0 to 7. This

value determines the relative priority of the packet.

Packets received from the Ethernet port that have a priority higher than

the value of the VLAN Priority Threshold are routed to the Mid queue.

Since the system also supports layer 3 prioritization, based on ToS,

packets with precedence in the ToS field higher than the value of the

ToS Precedence Threshold parameter are also routed to the Mid queue.

This is applicable to both tagged and untagged frames.

All other packets received from the Ethernet port are routed to the Low

queue.

Control and wireless management frames generated in the unit are

routed to the High queue.

Any frame coming from the Ethernet port, which is meant to reach

another BreezeACCESS unit via the wireless port (as opposed to

messages intended for stations behind other BreezeACCESS units), is

sent to the High queue, regardless of the priority configuration.

NOTE

The prioritization mechanism is disabled when the traffic rate reaches the maximum

information rate supported by the SU.

The VLAN Traffic Priority menu includes the following parameters:

! VLAN Priority – Data (SU only)

! VLAN Priority – Management

! VLAN Priority Threshold

VLAN Priority - Data (SU only)

The VLAN Priority - Data is applicable for Access Links only. It enables

configuring the value of the VLAN Priority field for data frames

transmitted to the wireless link. All data frames are routed to the Low

queue. This parameter only impacts the way that other VLAN aware

devices handle the packet.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

4-70

Valid values range from 0 to 7.

The default value is 0.

NOTE

Packets Received from the Ethernet port with a ToS Precedence value higher than the

defined ToS Precedence Threshold are routed to the Mid queue.

VLAN Priority - Management

The VLAN Priority - Management enables defining the value of the VLAN

Priority field for management frames in units with VLAN ID

Management that is other than 65535. All management frames are

routed to the High queue. This parameter only impacts the way other

VLAN aware devices handle the packet.

Valid values range from 0 to 7.

The default value is 4 for SUs and 0 for AUs.

VLAN Priority Threshold

The VLAN Priority Threshold is applicable for Trunk and Hybrid Links

only. It enables defining the value of the VLAN Priority Threshold. This

parameter impacts the way the unit handles tagged packets received

from the Ethernet port.

Since the system supports both layer 2 and layer 3 prioritization, a

frame is routed to the Mid queue if either of the following conditions are

met:

! The precedence in the ToS field is higher than the value of the ToS

Precedence Threshold parameter. This is applicable to both tagged

and untagged frames.

! The VLAN Priority field in a tagged frame is higher than the value of

the VLAN Priority Threshold parameter.

ToS Parameters

ToS Precedence Threshold

The ToS Precedence Threshold parameter enables defining ToS based

prioritization in accordance with the precedence bits of the ToS field in

the IP header. An IP packet received from the Ethernet port is routed to

the Mid queue if any one of the following conditions is met:

! The precedence in the ToS field is higher than the value of the ToS

Precedence Threshold parameter. This is applicable to both tagged

and untagged frames.

! The VLAN Priority field in a tagged frame (Hybrid or Trunk Link) is

higher than the value of the VLAN Priority Threshold parameter.

All other packets received from the Ethernet port are routed to the Low

queue.

Valid values are 0 to 7.

The default value is 3.

NOTE

The prioritization mechanism is disabled when the traffic rate reaches the maximum

information rate supported by the SU.

Ethernet Broadcast Filtering (SU only)

The Ethernet Broadcast Filtering menu enables defining the layer 2

(Ethernet) broadcast and multicast filtering capabilities for the selected

SU. Filtering the Ethernet broadcasts enhances the security of the

system and saves bandwidth on the wireless media by blocking

protocols that are typically used in the customer's LAN but are not

relevant for other customers, such as NetBios, which is used by the

Microsoft Network Neighborhood. Enabling this feature blocks Ethernet

broadcasts and multicasts by setting the I/G bit at the destination

address to 1. This feature should not be enabled when there is a router

behind the SU.

Roaming Option (SU only)

The Roaming Option defines the roaming support of the unit. When

roaming is not expected, it is preferable to set this parameter to Disable.

This will cause the unit to start scanning for another AU after loosing

connectivity with the current AU only after 7 seconds during which no

beacons were received from the current AU. This will prevent scanning

for another AU in cases where no beacons were received due to a short

temporary problem.

When set to Enable, the SU will wait only one second before it starts

scanning for another AU. In addition, when the Roaming Option is

enabled, the SU will send Roaming SNAP messages upon associating

with a new AU. This enables fast distribution of the new location for all

clients that are behind the SU. In this case, the SU will send multicast

SNAP messages via the wireless link each time it associates with a new

AU, except for the first association after reset. The SU will send one

SNAP message for each client learned on its Ethernet port, based on its

bridging table. In the SNAP message the clients’ MAC address is used as

the source address. The AU that receives this SNAP message learns

from it the new location of the clients. It forwards the SNAP to other

AUs and Layer-2 networking equipment via its Ethernet port, to

facilitate uninterrupted connectivity and correct routing of

transmissions to these clients. The new AU as well as the previous AU

with which the SU was associated, will forward the SNAP messages to

all other SUs associated with them.

The default is Disable.

! RTS Threshold

! Minimum Contention Window

! Maximum Contention Window

! Multicast Modulation Level (AU only)

! Maximum Modulation Level

! Average SNR Memory Factor

! Number of HW Retries

! Burst Mode

! Adaptive Modulation Algorithm

RTS Threshold

The RTS Threshold parameter defines the minimum frame size that

requires an RTS/CTS (Request To Send/Clear To Send) handshake.

Frames whose size is smaller than the RTS Threshold value are

transmitted directly to the wireless link without being preceded with

RTS frames. Setting this parameter to a value larger than the maximum

frame size eliminates the RTS/CTS handshake for frames transmitted

by this unit.

The available values range from 20 to 1600 bytes.

The default value is 60 bytes for SUs and 1600 for AUs. It is

recommended that these values be used to ensure that RTS/CTS is

never used in the AU.

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

4-77

Minimum Contention Window

The Minimum Contention Window parameter determines the time that a

unit waits from the time it has concluded that there are no detectable

transmissions by other units until it attempts to transmit. The

BreezeACCESS VL system uses a special mechanism based on detecting

the presence of a carrier signal and analyzing the information contained

in the transmissions of the AU to estimate the activity of other SUs

served by the AU. The target is to minimize collisions in the wireless

media resulting from attempts of more than one unit to transmit at the

same time.

The system uses an exponential Back-off algorithm to resolve

contention between several units that want to access the wireless

media. The method requires each station to choose a random number N

between 0 and a given number C each time it wants to access the

media. The unit will attempt to access the media only after a time equal

to DIFS (for more details refer to Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing on

page 4-56) plus N time slots, always checking if a different unit has

accessed the media before. Each time the unit tried to transmit and a

collision happened; the maximum number C used for the random

number selection will be increased to the next available value. The

available values are 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511 and 1023.

The Minimum Contention Window parameter is the first maximum

number C used in the back-off algorithm. The higher the number of SUs

served by the same AU, the higher the Minimum Contention Window for

each SU should be.

The available values are 0, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511 and 1023. A

value of 0 means that the contention window algorithm is not used and

that the unit will attempt to access the media immediately after a time

equal to DIFS.

The default value is 15.

CAUTION

A value of 0 disables the contention window back-off algorithm. It should only be used in

point-to-point applications. For more details on configuring units in a point-to-point link

refer to Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing on page 4-56.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

4-78

Maximum Contention Window

The Maximum Contention Window parameter defines the upper limit for

the maximum number C used in the back-off algorithm as described in

Minimum Contention Window above.

The available values are 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511 and 1023.

The default value is 1023.

Multicast Modulation Level (AU only)

The Multicast Modulation Level parameter defines the modulation level

used for transmitting multicast and broadcast data frames. Multicast

and broadcast transmissions are not acknowledged; therefore if a

multicast or broadcast transmission is not properly received there is no

possibility of retransmitting. It is recommended that you set a lower

modulation level for broadcast and multicast frame transmissions to

increase the probability that they are received without errors.

The Multicast Modulation Level parameter is applicable only to data

frames. Beacons and other wireless management and control frames are

always transmitted at the lowest modulation level according to the Sub

Band.

The minimum value for the Multicast Modulation Level is defined by the

Sub Band in use.

The maximum value for the Multicast Modulation Level is defined by the

Sub Band in use and the HW revision of the unit. Units with HW

revision A support a maximum value of 7, while units with HW revision

B and higher support a maximum value of 8.

For information on how to view the Sub Bands supported by the unit

and the supported parameters’ values and options, refer to Show

Country Dependent Parameters on page 4-9.

The default value is the lowest supported modulation level.

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

4-79

Maximum Modulation Level

When the Adaptive Modulation Algorithm (see Adaptive Modulation

Algorithm on page 4-81) is enabled, it changes the modulation level

dynamically according to link conditions. The purpose is to increase the

probability of using the maximum possible modulation level at any

given moment. Although the algorithm will avoid using modulation

levels that are too high for the prevailing link conditions, it might be

desired under certain conditions to limit the use of higher modulation

levels. If the link quality is not sufficient, it is recommended that the

maximum modulation level be decreased, since higher modulation

levels increase the error rate. In such conditions, a higher Maximum

Modulation Level increases the number or retransmissions before the

modulation level is being reduced by the Adaptive Modulation

Algorithm. A high number of retransmissions reduces the overall

throughput of the applicable SU as well as all other SUs associated with

the same AU.

The link quality can be estimated based on the SNR measurement of the

SU at the AU, which can be viewed in the MAC Address Database option

in the Site Survey menu. If the measured SNR is less than a certain

threshold, it is recommended that the maximum modulation level of the

SU be decreased in accordance with Table 4-9, using the values of

typical sensitivity. It is recommended to add a 2 dB safety margin to

compensate for possible measurement inaccuracy or variance in the

link quality.

NOTE

The SNR measurement at the AU is accurate only when receiving transmissions from

the applicable SU. If necessary, use the Ping Test utility in the Site Survey menu to

verify data transmission.

When the Adaptive Modulation Algorithm is disabled, this parameter

will serve to determine Fixed Modulation Level used for transmissions.

The minimum value for the Maximum Modulation Level is defined by

the Sub Band in use.

The maximum value for the Maximum Modulation Level is defined by

the Sub Band in use and the HW revision of the unit. Units with HW

revision A support a maximum value of 7, while units with HW revision

B and higher support a maximum value of 8.

For information on how to view the Sub Bands supported by the unit

and the supported parameters’ values and options, refer to Show

Country Dependent Parameters on page 4-9.

The default is the highest supported Modulation Level.

Average SNR Memory Factor

The Average SNR Memory Factor defines the weight of history (value of

last calculated average SNR) in the formula used for calculating the

current average SNR for received data frames. This average SNR is used

by the ATPC algorithm in the AU and is also included in the Adaptive

Modulation Algorithm information messages transmitted by the AU and

the SU. The higher the value of this parameter, the higher is the weight

of history in the formula.

Available values: -1 to 32. -1 is for no weight for history, meaning that

average SNR equals the last measured SNR.

Default value: 5

Number of HW Retries

The Number of HW Retries parameter defines the maximum number of

times that an unacknowledged packet is retransmitted. When the

Adaptive Modulation Algorithm is disabled, a frame will be dropped

when the number of unsuccessful retransmissions reaches this value.

For details on the effect of this parameter when the Adaptive

Modulation Algorithm is enabled, refer to Adaptive Modulation

Algorithm, on page 4-81.

The available values range is from 1 to 15.

The default value is 10.

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

Burst Mode

Burst mode provides an increased throughput by reducing the overhead

associated with transmissions in the wireless media. In a burst

transmission the inter-frame spacing is reduced and data frames are

transmitted without any contention period.

The Burst Mode is available only if Burst Mode is supported by the Sub

Band in use. For information on how to view the Sub Bands supported

by the unit and the supported parameters’ values and options, refer to

Show Country Dependent Parameters on page 4-9.

In AU, the Burst Mode option will be “blocked” upon trying to enable

Burst Mode when the DFS Option is enabled or when using WEP for

data encryption. In SU, the Burst Mode option will be “blocked” upon

trying to enable when using WEP for data encryption.

Burst Mode Option

The Burst Mode Option enables or disables the Burst Mode operation.

The default is Enable.

NOTE

When Burst Mode Option is enabled, the SW Retry feature of the Adaptive Modulation

Algorithm is disabled. Otherwise it is enabled.

Burst Mode Time Interval

The Burst Mode Time Interval defines the burst size, which is the time

in which data frames are sent immediately without contending for the

wireless medium.

The range is 1 to the value of the Maximum Burst Duration defined for

the Sub Band.

The default is 5 milliseconds or the value of Maximum Burst Duration

defined for the Sub Band (the lower of the two values).

Adaptive Modulation Algorithm (Multi Rate)

The Adaptive Modulation Algorithm enables adapting the modulation

level of transmitted data to the prevailing conditions of the applicable

radio link. The algorithm provides Access Units with simultaneous,

adaptive support for multiple Subscriber Units at different modulation

levels, as transmission’s modulation level decisions are made separately

for each associated SU.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

4-82

Link quality fluctuates due to various environmental conditions.

Dynamically switching between the possible modulation levels increases

the probability of using the maximum modulation level suitable for the

current radio link quality at any given moment.

The decisions made by the Adaptive Modulation Algorithm relate to the

modulation level selected for transmission of new frames (first trial

attempt) as well as the modulation level for retransmissions. The

decisions are based on multiple parameters, including information on

received signal quality (SNR) that is received periodically from the

destination unit, the time that has passed since last transmission to the

relevant unit, and the recent history of successful and unsuccessful

transmissions/retransmissions. In the AU the decision algorithm is

performed separately for each SU.

The transmission/retransmission mechanism operates as follows:

A. Each new frame (first transmission attempt) will be transmitted at a

modulation level selected by the Adaptive Modulation algorithm.

B. If first transmission trial has failed, the frame will be retransmitted

at the same modulation level up to the maximum number of

retransmission attempts defined by the Number of HW Retries

parameter.

C. If the frame was not acknowledged it frame will be moved to the end

of the queue. All other frames in the queue that are intended to the

same destination will be moved as well, to preserve the original

order. This process is referred to as a Software Retry.

D. The frame will be retransmitted at the modulation level selected by

the algorithm for the new retrials sequence. Each retrial sequence

comprises a number of attempts defined by the Number of HW

Retries.

E. The process will be repeated up to a maximum number of Software

Retries defined by the Number of SW Retries parameter. The

Number of SW Retries parameter is not configurable and it is set to

the default of 3 SW Retries. (In units upgraded to SW version 2.0

from a lower version it will be set to the previously configured

value)..

NOTE

When Burst Mode Option is enabled, the SW Retry feature of the Adaptive Modulation

Algorithm is disabled. Otherwise it is enabled.

MIR and CIR Parameters

The CIR (Committed Information Rate) specifies the minimum data rate

guaranteed to the relevant subscriber. The MIR (Maximum Information

Rate) value specifies the maximum data rate available for burst

transmissions, provided such bandwidth is available.

Under normal conditions, the actual Information Rate (IR) is between

the applicable CIR and MIR values, based on the following formula:

IR=CIR+K(MIR - CIR).

In this formula K is between 0 and 1 and is determined dynamically by

the AU according to overall demand in the cell and the prevailing

conditions that influence the performance of the wireless link. In some

situations the minimum rate (CIR) cannot be provided. This may result

from high demand and poor wireless link conditions and/or high

demand in over-subscribed cells. When this occurs, the actual

information rate is lower than the CIR.

The simple solution for managing the information rate in such cases

can result in an unfair allocation of resources, as subscribers with a

higher CIR actually receive an IR lower than the CIR designated for

subscribers in a lower CIR bracket.

A special algorithm for graceful degradation is incorporated into the AU,

ensuring that the degradation of performance for each individual

Subscriber Unit is proportional to its CIR.

The MIR/CIR algorithm uses buffers to control the flow of data. To

balance the performance over time, a special Burst Duration algorithm

is employed to enable higher transmission rates after a period of

inactivity. If no data is received from the Ethernet port during the last N

seconds, the unit is allowed to transmit N times its CIR value without

any delay. For example, after a period of inactivity of 0.5 seconds, a unit

with CIR = 64Kbps can transmit up to 64Kbits x 0.5 = 32Kbits without

any delay.

MIR: Downlink (SU only)

Sets the Maximum Information Rate of the downlink from the AU to the

SU. The MIR value cannot be lower than the corresponding CIR value.

Available values range and default value are shown in Table 4-10 on

page 4-87.

The actual value will be the entered value rounded to the nearest

multiple of 128 (N*128).

MIR: Uplink (SU only)

Sets the Maximum Information Rate of the up-link from the SU to the

AU. The MIR value cannot be lower than the corresponding CIR value.

Available values range and default value are shown in Table 4-10 on

page 4-87.

The actual value will be the entered value rounded to the nearest

multiple of 128 (N*128).

CIR: Downlink (SU only)

Sets the Committed Information Rate of the down-link from the AU to

the SU. The CIR value cannot be higher than the corresponding MIR

value.

Available values range and default value are shown in Table 4-10 on

page 4-87.

The actual value will be the entered value rounded to the nearest

Maximum Burst Duration (SU and AU)

Sets the maximum time for accumulating burst transmission rights

according to the Burst Duration algorithm.

Available values range from 0 to 2000 (milliseconds).

The default value is 5 (milliseconds), enabling a maximum burst of

(0.005 X CIR) Kbps after a period of inactivity of 5 milliseconds or more.

Maximum Delay (SU only)

Sets the maximum permitted delay in the buffers system. Since certain

applications are very sensitive to delay, if relatively high delays are

permitted, these applications may suffer from poor performance due to

data accumulation in the buffers from other applications, such as FTP.

The Maximum Delay parameter limits the number of available buffers.

Data that is delayed more than the permitted maximum delay is

discarded. If the SU supports applications that are very sensitive to

delay, the value of the Maximum Delay should be decreased.

Valid values range from 300 to 10000 (milliseconds).

The default value is 5000 (milliseconds).

Graceful Degradation Limit (AU only)

Sets the limit on using the graceful degradation algorithm. In cases of

over demand, the performance of all SUs is degraded proportionally to

their CIR (IR=(100%-k%) x CIR). The graceful degradation algorithm is

used as long as k ≤K, where K is the Graceful Degradation Limit.

Beyond this point the simple “brute force” algorithm is used. The

Graceful Degradation Limit should be raised in proportion to the

demand in the cell. The higher the expected demand in a cell, the higher

the value of the Graceful Degradation Limit. Higher demand can be

expected in cases of significant over subscription and/or in

deployments where a high number of subscribers are in locations are

not enabled for proper communication with the AU at the highest data

rate.

The available values range from 0 to 70 (%).

The default value is 70 (%).

MIR Only Option (AU only)

When the MIR Only Option is enabled, it forces the MIR/CIR algorithm

to use MIR values only. The MIR/CIR algorithm determines the actual

information rate for each of the supported SUs under changing

conditions of demand, based on the configured CIR and MIR values.

When the MIR Only Option is enabled, the MIR/CIR algorithm is

overridden and forced to operate with MIR values only. For example, the

AU attempts to enable all SUs to transmit/receive information at the

specified MIR value. When enabled, the graceful degradation algorithm,

which is a part of the CIR/MIR algorithm, is also disabled.

The default is Enable.

Security Parameters

BreezeACCESS VL can support encryption of authentication messages

and/or data frames using one of two encryption standards:

! WEP Wireless Equivalent Privacy algorithm. WEP is defined in the

IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standard and is based on the RSA’s RC4

encryption algorithm.

! AES Advanced Encryption Standard. AES is defined by the National

Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is based on

Rijndael block cipher.

The following parameters are available through the Security Parameters

menu (in certain units some or all of the security options may not be

available):

! Authentication Algorithm

! Data Encryption Option

! Security Mode

! Default Key (SU only)

! Default Multicast Key (AU only)

! Key # 1 to Key # 4

! Promiscuous Authentication (AU only)

Authentication Algorithm

The Authentication Algorithm option determines the operation mode of

the selected unit. The two following options are available:

! Open System: An SU configured to Open System can only associate

with an AU also configured to Open System. In this case, the

authentication encryption algorithm is not used.

! Shared Key: The authentication messages are encrypted. An SU

configured to use a Shared Key can only be authenticated by an AU

configured to use a Shared Key, provided the applicable Key (which

means both the key number and its content) in the AU is identical

to the key selected as the Default Key in the SU.

The default is Open System.

NOTE

Menus and Parameters

Manual Revision 1.0

4-91

NOTE

The Shared Key option cannot be selected before at least one Key is defined. In the SU,

a Default Key that refers to a valid Key must be selected.

The AU and all the SUs it serves should be configured to the same Authentication

Algorithm option. Mixed operation is not supported.

Data Encryption Option

The Data Encryption Option option allows enabling or disabling data

encryption. When enabled, all data frames are encrypted.

The default is Disable.

NOTE

The AU and all the SUs it serves should be configured to the same Data Encryption

Option. Mixed operation is not supported.

Security Mode

The Security Mode option enables selecting the algorithm to be used for

encrypting the authentication messages and/or data frames.

The available options are WEP and AES.

The default is WEP.

Default Key (SU only):

The Default Key defines the Key to be used for encrypting/decrypting

the authentication messages (Shared Key mode) and/or data frames

(Data Encryption enabled). The AU learns the Default Key from the SU,

and it may use different keys when authenticating and/or

communicating with different SUs.

Available values range from 1 to 4.

The default is KEY # 1.

Default Multicast Key (AU only):

The Multicast Default Key defines the Key to be used for

encrypting/decrypting multicasts and broadcasts when Data

Encryption is enabled.

Available values range from 1 to 4.

The default is KEY # 1.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration

BreezeACCESSS VL System Manual

4-92

Key # 1 to Key # 4

The Key # options enables defining the encryption key to be used for

initializing the pseudo-random number generator that forms a part of

the encryption/decryption process. The Keys must be set before the

Shared Key authentication algorithm or Data Encryption can be used.

To support proper operation, both the Key # and the content must be

identical at both sides of a wireless link.

Each Key is a string of 32 hexadecimal numbers. For security reasons,

it is a “write only” parameter, displayed as a string of asterisks (“*”).

The default for all 4 Keys is 000…0 (a string of 32 zeros), which means

no key.

Promiscuous Authentication (AU only)

The Promiscuous Authentication mode enables new SUs to join an

active cell where Shared Key operation and/or Data Encryption is used,

even if this SU does not have the correct security parameters (or if it

runs a lower SW version that does not support the security features).

After the SU joins the cell it should be remotely configured with the

proper parameters (or upgraded). Once the SU is configured properly,

the Promiscuous Mode should be disabled.

The default is Disable.

NOTE

Do not leave the AU in the mode of Promiscuous Authentication enabled for prolonged

periods. Use it only when absolutely necessary, perform the required actions as quickly

as possible and disable it. The unit will return automatically to Promiscuous

Authentication disabled mode after reset.

Firmware upgrades to the unit's FLASH memory can be performed by a

simple loading procedure using a TFTP application. Before performing

an upgrade procedure, be sure you have the correct files and most

recent instructions.

Upgrade packages can be obtained from the Technical Support section

of Alvarion's web site, http://www.alvarion.com/.

CAUTION

Shutting down power to the unit before completion of the loading procedure may cause

the unit to be inoperable.

1. Verify that IP connectivity to the required unit is established.

2. Ensure that the IP address of the PC from which the upgrade is to

be performed belongs to the same subnet as the unit to be

upgraded, unless the unit is behind a router. If the unit is behind a

router, verify that the unit is configured with the correct Default

Gateway Address.

3. To view the current IP parameters of the unit, use the Monitor

program by connecting the PC to the unit either directly or via

Telnet. To access the IP parameters via the Monitor program:

A. From the Main Menu select 1 - Info Screens.

B. From the Info Screen menu select 2 - Show Basic

Configuration. The current basic configuration is displayed,

including the run time values for the IP Address, Subnet Mask

and Default Gateway Address parameters.

4. To modify any of the IP parameters:

6. Use the TFTP utility, with the following syntax, to perform the

upgrade:

tftp -i hostaddress put sourcefile [destinationfile]

where -i is for binary mode and hostaddress is the IP address of the

unit to be upgraded. put causes the PC client to send a file to the

hostaddress.

7. The original sourcefile name of SW files supplied by Alvarion is in

the structure uX_Y_Z.bz, where u is the unit type (a for AU, s for

SU) and X.Y.Z is the version number.

8. destinationfile is the name of the file to be loaded. Use the SNMP

write community <SnmpWriteCommunity>.bz to define the

destination filename. The default SNMP write community is private.

For example, to load the upgrade file a1_0_6.bz to an AU whose IP

address is 206.25.63.65: tftp -i 206.25.63.65 put a1_0_6.bz

private.bz

9. When the loading is complete, the following message is displayed,

indicating completion of the TFTP process:

Download operation has been completed successfully

10. The 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. Among other things that are tested, the unit

will reject a file if either the file name or the version number

matches the current Main versions. The unit will also reject a file

designated for a different unit type, e.g. an AU upgrade file with the

prefix a in the original file name will not be accepted by SUs.

11. The FLASH memory can store two software versions. One version is

called Current and the second version is called Shadow. The new

version is loaded into the Shadow (backup) FLASH memory. To

check that the new firmware was properly downloaded and verified,

view the firmware versions stored in the FLASH, as follows:

A. From the Main Menu, select 2 - Unit Control.

B. From the Unit Control menu, select 5 - Flash Memory Control.

C. From the Flash Memory Control menu, select S - Show Flash

The BreezeACCESS VL File Download/Upload feature simplifies the

task of remotely configuring a large number of units using TFTP

protocol. By downloading the configuration file to a PC it is possible to

view all the parameters configured for the unit, as a plain ASCII text file.

It is necessary to edit the file using a simple editor and remove certain

parameters or change their values prior to uploading the configuration

to another unit. The file loading procedure can also be used for

uploading a feature license file or an updated country code file to

multiple units.

When multiple configurations are being done simultaneously, which

means that the file is being uploaded to several units, it is

recommended that the file will include only the required parameters.

In the configuration file, the following three fields represent each

parameter:

1. A symbolic string similar to the name of the parameter in the

Monitor program, followed by "=".

2. The value of the parameters, which uses the same values as the

Monitor program.

3. An optional comment. If used, the comment should start with a ";"

character.

An unknown parameter will be ignored. A known parameter with a

value that is invalid or out of range will be set by the unit to its default

value.

Use the SNMP write community string (the default is “private”) to define

both the uploaded file (put) and the downloaded file (get). The file

should be transferred in ASCII mode.

Use the extension cfg for a configuration file.

Use the extension cmr for the Operator Defaults file.

Use the extension fln for a Feature License file.

Use the extension ccf for a Country Code file.

Feature license and country code files include multiple strings, where

each string is applicable only for a certain unit identified by its MAC

address. When uploading a feature license or a country code file to

multiple units, each unit will accept only the parts that are applicable

for itself.
