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 data rates of up to 54Mbps. 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 and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) radios. 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 unlicensed BreezeACCESS products
using GFSK modulation, including BreezeACCESS II that operates in the
2.4 GHz band and BreezeACCESS V systems in the 5.7 GHz band.
BreezeACCESS VL products are currently available in the 5 GHz frequency
band, as shown in table Table 2-1.

Subscriber Unit
The Subscriber Unit (SU) installed at the customer premises enables the
customer data connection to the Access Unit, providing bridge
functionality and supporting a full LAN.
The Subscriber Unit provides an efficient platform for high speed Internet
and Intranet services. The system delivers fast access to IP-based services
at a data burst rate of up to 54Mbps. 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 SU-A-24-VL Subscriber Unit supports a radio data rate of up to
24 Mbps. The SU-A-54-VL supports a radio data rate of up to 54 Mbps.
The SU-A-24/54-VL Subscriber Unit is comprised of an indoor unit
(SU-NI-VL) and an outdoor unit (SU-RA-VL).
The SU-RA-VL outdoor unit contains the processing and radio modules
and an integrated high-gain flat antenna.
The SU-NI-VL indoor unit 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
Cat.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.
Introduction
2-5
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 various
combinations of modules, including Network Interface (BS-AU) modules for
Access Units operating in any of the bands supported by BreezeACCESS
equipment, including BreezeACCESS VL, BreezeACCESS II and
BreezeACCESS V. It can also accommodate a BS-GU GPS and Alarms
module to support GPS-based synchronization of BreezeACCESS II or
BreezeACCESS V Frequency Hopping radios.
Two different types of power supply modules are available for the
BreezeACCESS VL modules: The BS-PS-DC-VL which 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 BreezeACCESS II or BreezeACCESS V Access Unit
modules, 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 II/V Access Units.
Each BS-AU-VL module, together with its outdoor AU-RD-VL radio unit
and an antenna comprise an AU-D-BS-VL Access Unit that serves a single
sector.
The AU-RD-VL outdoor unit contains the processing and radio modules
and connects to an external antenna using a short RF cable.
Currently available AU antennas include the following:

The BS-AU-VL 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 Cat.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.
Standalone “Micro-Cell” Access Unit
The standalone AU-D-NI-VL Access Unit is very similar to the AU-D-BS-VL
unit. The AU-RD-VL outdoor unit and the antenna are the same as in the
AU-D-BS-VL Access Unit. The difference is in the structure of the indoor
part; in the AU-D-NI-VL Access Unit the AU-NI-VL indoor unit is a
standalone desktop or wall-mountable unit rather than a 19” module.
The AU-NI-VL indoor unit 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 Cat.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.
Introduction
2-7
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.
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 VL
The BreezeCONFIG 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 VL utility
to control a large number of units from a single location. In addition,
BreezeCONFIG VL 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:
Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation
professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever
applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities.
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.
♦
SU-RE units should be installed as close as possible to the antenna.
♦
The external antenna connected to the AU-RD unit, should be installed
so as to provide coverage to all Subscriber Units within its service area.
NOTE:
The distance between any two antennas must exceed 40cm.
♦
It is recommended that the SU-RA outdoor unit with its integrated
antenna be installed to provide a direct, or near line of sight with the
Base Station antenna. The antenna (integrated on the front side of the
SU-RA Outdoor Unit) 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 300 385 standard and is protected against secondary
lightning strikes when the Outdoor Unit is properly grounded according to the relevant

Aligning the Subscriber Unit
Antenna
The RSSI bar display is located on the bottom panel of the outdoor unit.
The ten green RSSI LEDs are used for reading the Received Signal Strength
Indication. The higher the number of green LEDs indicating On, the higher
the level of the received signal. This section describes how to align the
Subscriber Unit antenna using the RSSI bar display.
NOTE:
Antenna alignment using the RSSI 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 RSSI measurement is performed on
received frames, its results are meaningless unless the Subscriber Unit is associated with
an Access Unit.
¾
To align the Subscriber Unit antenna:
1. Align the antenna, which is integrated into the front side of the SU-RA
unit, 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 WLNK orange LED of the unit is On, indicating that the
unit is associated with an Access Unit. If the WLNK LED is Off, check
that the ESSID, Frequency and Security 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 RSSI 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.
6. Secure the unit firmly to the pole.
Commissioning

NOTE:
In some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to ensure that it is directed toward the
Base Station antenna. For example, if the Subscriber Unit is located very close to the Base
Station.

Configuring the Subscriber
Unit’s Transmit Power Level
and Maximum Data Rate
The following sections describe how to configure the transmit power level
and maximum data rate for Subscriber Units. The Initial Transmit
Power level should be configured only when the Transmit Power Control
Algorithm is disabled.
Configuring the Initial Transmit Power
Level
If the Transmit Power Control Algorithm is enabled you can retain the
default configuration of the Initial Transmit Power parameter, since the
algorithm automatically sets the optimal level of the output power.
If the Transmit Power Control Algorithm is disabled, it is recommended
that the Initial Transmit Power parameter for each SU be set to achieve
an SNR of 26 dB at the AU. Refer to Table 4-2 for the list of optimal
transmit power levels at various distances, assuming a free line of sight
between SU and AU.

¾
To verify optimal configuration of the initial transmit
power level:
1. If the SU does not associate with the AU, check the configuration of
the ESSID, Frequency and Security parameters. If the parameters
are properly configured, verify the antenna alignment. If the unit is
still not associated with the AU, set the Initial Transmit Power
parameter to its maximum value.
2. After the SU is associated with the AU, check the SNR of the SU at the
applicable AU. For example, you can access the AU’s Monitor program
via Telnet to view the SNR values in the MAC Address Database,
which can be accessed from the Site Survey menu.
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.
BreezeACCESS VL System Manual
4-8
3. If the SNR measurement of the relevant SU at the AU is lower than
26 dB, increase the value of the Initial Transmit Power parameter
for the SU until an SNR measurement of 26 dB is achieved or until the
Initial Transmit Power parameter is set to its maximum value.
Configuring the Maximum Data Rate
This section describes how to configure the maximum data rate for
BreezeACCESS VL Subscriber Units.
¾
To configure the maximum data rate:
1. If, after the SU is configured to its optimal Transmit Power level, the
SNR at the AU is too low, it is recommended that you configure the
Maximum Data Rate parameter to a value that is lower than the
maximum. This can decrease the number of retransmissions due to
attempts to transmit at rates 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 SNR is lower than the values
required for the maximum data rate according to Table 4-3, it is
recommended that you decrease the maximum data rate.
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 Data Rate according to Table 4-3, using the
typical sensitivity 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.
4. Reset the unit to activate the new configuration.
NOTE:
If the unit is associated with the AU, then the final configuration of the Maximum Data
Rate parameter may be performed remotely, for example, from the site of the AU or from
another site.

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 data base for all SUs served by it.
The following sections describe each option of the Site Survey menu.
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 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 unit transmits valid data frames received from the wireless media to
the Ethernet port, as well internally generated frames, such as responses
to management queries and pings received via the Ethernet port. The
Ethernet Counters include the following statistics:
♦
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.
Operation and Administration
5-19
Wireless Link 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 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 Acknowledge
Time Limit 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 Retransmissions parameter, the frames are 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.
There are also separate counters for the following:
™ Beacons (AU only)
™ Other Management frames (excluding Beacons in AU)
™ Data frames, including multicast/broadcast data frames and
successfully transmitted unicast data frames (excluding
retransmissions).
™ Total Transmitted Unicasts, including all 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.
♦
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 Low, Mid and High
(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.
BreezeACCESS VL System Manual

♦
Total Tx errors: The total number of transmit errors. The following
additional counters are displayed to indicate the reason for the failure:
™ Excessive Retries (Exces RTx): The number of dropped frames,
which are the frames unsuccessfully retransmitted until the
maximum permitted number of retransmissions without being
acknowledged.
™ Filtered: .
™ Underrun: The number of frames that were aborted because the
rate of submitting frames for transmission exceeds the available
transmission capability.
™ Other: The number of frames that were not transmitted due to a
problem other than those represented by the other counters.

properly. The following additional counters are displayed to indicate
the reason for the failure:
™ Phy: The number of frames that were not received properly due to a
hardware problem.
™ 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.
™ Other: The number of frames that were not received properly due to
a problem other than those represented by the other counters.
♦
Bad frames received: The number of frames 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.

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 network
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, both the ESSID and Operator ESSID will be included by
the Beacon frames transmitted by it. 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.

The previous parameters define a sub band of frequencies between the Sub
Band Lower Frequency and the Sub Band Upper Frequency using the
Scanning Step resolution. The Frequency Subset Definition option enables
defining a specific subset of frequencies within this sub band to be used
during scanning. When selected, a list of all valid frequencies in the band
is displayed, and an index is given to each frequency. The current defined
subset is also displayed. The defined subset can be modified by entering a
list of desired indexes, separated by commas (no spaces). Enter A to select
all frequency in the subset.
The default is A, which is the list that includes all indexes of frequencies
defined by the previous parameters.
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 are 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 reachs 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:
BreezeACCESS VL System Manual
5-32
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 640 milliseconds 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: 10.
The total scanning time can be calculated based on the following formula:
Scanning Time (secs) = N * F * 0.64
N = Number of scanning attempts.
F = Number of frequencies in the Frequency Subset defined in the
Frequency Definition submenu.
0.64 seconds is the time spent on each frequency while in scanning mode.
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

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 last calculation, the
BreezeACCESS VL System Manual
5-34
lower is 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 powerup 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 the
Current Transmit Power, which is the last value that was previously used
by the ATPC mechanism. If after a certain configurable time the SU did
not succeed to synchronize with the AU, it will start transmitting using the
level configured for the Initial Transmit Power parameter. (If this is the
first time that the SU is powered up, or if the ATPC algorithm was not
used, the Current Transmit Power equals the value of Initial Transmit
Power).
The Initial Transmit Power parameter is used to determine the fixed
transmit power level of the SU if the ATPC algorithm is not enabled.
In an AU typically the maximum supported transmit power is used to
enable 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.
Transmit Power (AU)
The Transmit Power parameter defines the transmit power level of the AU.
This parameter is not part of the ATPC algorithm.
Valid range: 4 to 28 (dBm), using a 1 dBm resolution.
The default is 11 (dBm).
Initial Transmit Power (SU)
The Initial Transmit Power parameter defines the fixed transmit power level
when the ATPC algorithm is disabled. If the ATPC Option is enabled this
parameter serves for setting the initial value to be used by the ATPC
algorithm after the first time of powering-up the unit. It will also be used
by the algorithm as an initial value in the following cases:
a. If the unit does not succeed to associate with the AU after reset.
b. If the unit does not succeed to re-synchronize with the AU after losing
synchronization.
c. If the SU is associated with the AU but there are too many successive
dropped frames, indicating that it transmits at a level that may be too low.
The actual run-time value that is used to control the transmit power level
is determined by the ATPC process.
Operation and Administration
5-35
The allowed range is from -11 to 29 (dBm), using a 1 dBm resolution.
The default value is 4 (dBm).
ATPC Parameters in AU
ATPC Option
The ATPC Option enables or disables the Automatic Transmit Power
Control (ATPC) algorithm.
The default is Enable.
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: 15 to 40 (dB).
Default value: 25 (dB).
Maximum SNR Level
The Maximum SNR Level defines the highest SNR at which you want each
SU to be received at the AU (the higher limit of the optimal reception level
range).
Available values: 15 to 40 (dB).
Default value: 30 (dB).
SNR Memory Factor
The SNR Memory Factor defines the weight of history (value of last
calculated average SNR) in the formula used for calculating the average
SNR. 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
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
BreezeACCESS VL System Manual
5-36
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: 0 to 3600 seconds.
Default value: 120 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: 1-10 (dB)
Default value: 1 (dB)
ATPC Parameters in SU
ATPC Option
The ATPC Option enables or disable 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.
The default is Enable.
Acknowledge Time Out
The Acknowledge Time Out parameter enables augmenting the range of the
system by increasing the time that the unit can wait for a response. This
includes several scenarios where the unit expects a response, such as a
handshake during the association process, an acknowledgement after
transmitting a data frame and CTS after RTS. Increasing the range may
decrease the overall performance and achievable network throughput. It
should be increased only to support ranges of over 10Km. To support a
link distance higher than 10Km, the delay should be increased at both the
applicable SU and the AU.
The Acknowledge Time Out is defined in Clock Cycles, where each Clock
Cycle equals 25 nano-seconds.
The valid range is from 256 (6.4 milliseconds) to 8191(205 milliseconds)
Operation and Administration
5-37
The default is
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 0-512.
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 (see page 5-22). To delete inactive SUs from the database you
must reset the AU.

Bridge Parameters
The Bridge Parameters menu provides a series of parameter sets that
enables configuring parameters such as control and filtering options for
broadcast transmissions, VLAN support, and Type of Service prioritization.
VLAN Support
The VLAN Support menu enables defining the parameters related to the
IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLAN-aware (Virtual LAN-aware) feature of the
BreezeACCESS VL units. Each VLAN includes stations that can
communicate with each other, but cannot communicate with stations
belonging to different VLANs. The VLAN feature also provides the ability to
set traffic priorities for transmission of certain frames. The information
related to the VLAN is included in the VLAN Tag Header, which is inserted
in each frame between the MAC header and the data. VLAN
implementation in BreezeACCESS VL units supports frame routing by port
information, whereby each port is connected to only one VLAN.
The VLAN Support menu enables configuring the following parameters:
VLAN ID-Data (SU only)
The VLAN-ID Data is applicable for Access Links only. 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.
BreezeACCESS VL System Manual
5-42
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) 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.
♦
A VLAN Management Tag is inserted in all management frames
generated by the unit before transmission on either the Ethernet or
wireless link port. The tag includes the values of the
VLAN ID - Management and the VLAN Priority - Management
parameters.
If the VLAN ID - Management is 65535 (No VLAN):
♦
Only untagged management frames received on either the Ethernet or
wireless link ports are forwarded to the unit.
♦
Management frames generated by the unit are not tagged.

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 0-7. 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, is sent to the High queue,
regardless of the priority configuration.
The VLAN Traffic Priority menu provides the following parameters:
VLAN Priority – Data (SU only)
BreezeACCESS VL System Manual
5-48
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.
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

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.
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.
The Ethernet Broadcasting Filtering menu enables configuring the
following parameters:
Filter Options
The Filter Options enables defining the Ethernet Broadcast filtering
functionality of the unit. Select from the following options:

Broadcast Relaying (AU only)
The Broadcast Relaying option enables selecting whether the unit performs
broadcast relaying. When the Broadcast Relaying parameter is enabled,
broadcast packets originating from devices on the wireless link are
transmitted by the AU back to the wireless link devices, as well as to the
wired LAN. If disabled, these packets are sent only to the local wired LAN
and are not sent back to the wireless link. Disable the broadcast relaying
only if all broadcast messages from the wireless link are certain to be
directed to the wired LAN.
The default selection is Enable.
Unicast Relaying (AU only)
The Unicast Relaying option enables selecting whether the unit performs
unicast relaying. When the Unicast Relaying parameter is enabled, unicast
packets originating from devices on the wireless link can be transmitted
back to the wireless link devices. If disabled, these packets are not sent to
the wireless link even if they are intended for devices on the wireless link.
Disable the Unicast Relaying parameter only if all unicast messages from
the wireless link are certain to be directed to the local wired LAN.
The default selection is Enable.

Performance Parameters
The Performance Parameters menu enables defining a series of parameters
that control the method by which traffic is transmitted through the
BreezeACCESS VL wireless access network.
The Performance Parameters menu provides the following parameters:
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.
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, and wait for this number of time slots before accessing the
media, always checking if a different unit has access 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.
Operation and Administration
5-53
The available values are 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511 and 1023.
The default value is 15.
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.
Short Frame Multicast Rate (AU only)
The Short Frame Multicast Rate parameter defines the rate of transmitting
multicast and broadcast frames that are shorter than 500 bytes. 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 rate
for broadcast and multicast frame transmissions to increase the
probability that they are received without errors.
The available values for SU-A-54-VL are 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54
Mbps. For SU-A-24-VL the available rates are 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 Mbps.
The default value is the lowest available rate, 6 Mbps.
Long Frame Multicast Rate (AU only)
The Long Frame Multicast Rate parameter defines the rate of transmitting
multicast and broadcast frames with at least 500 bytes. 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 rate for broadcast
and multicast frame transmissions to increase the probability that they are
received without errors.
The available values for SU-A-54-VL are 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54
Mbps. For SU-A-24-VL the available rates are 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 Mbps.
The default value is the lowest available rate, 6 Mbps.
BreezeACCESS VL System Manual
5-54
Maximum Data Rate
When the Rate Adaptation Algorithm is enabled, it changes the data rate
dynamically according to link conditions to increase the probability of
using the maximum possible rate at any given moment. Although the
algorithm will avoid using rates that are too high for the prevailing link
conditions, it might be desired under certain conditions to limit the use of
higher rates. If the link quality is not sufficient, it is recommended that
the maximum data rate be decreased, since higher data rate elevates the
error rate. In such conditions, a higher data rate increases the number or
retransmissions before the data rate is being reduced by the Rate
Adaptation Algorithm. A high number of retransmissions reduce 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 data rate of the SU be
decreased in accordance with Table 5-10, 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 Rate Adaptation Algorithm is disabled, this parameter will serve
to determine Fixed Data Rate for transmissions.

Appendix B
Configuration
Download and
Upload Using
TFTP
The BreezeACCESS OFDM Configuration 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.
When multiple configurations are being done simultaneously, which means that
the file is being uploaded to several units, it is recommended that the file only
include the required parameters.
In the configuration file, each parameter is represented by three fields:
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). Use the extension cfg for a
configuration file. Use the extension cmr for the Operator Defaults file. The file
should be transferred in ASCII mode.
For Example:
To upload the configuration file using a DOS based TFTP Client to an SU whose IP
address is 206.25.63.65, enter:
tftp 206.25.63.65 put Suconf private.cfg
To download the Operator Defaults file from the same unit, enter:
tftp 206.25.63.65 get private.cmr Suconf

Preparing the
Indoor to Outdoor
SU Cable
The Indoor-to-Outdoor SU cable provides pin-to-pin connection on both
sides. It is supplied open-ended at both sides, to allow the installer to
conveniently route the cable into the waterproof seal off the Outdoor unit
and through holes in walls.
Figure C-1 shows the wire pair connections required for the Indoor-toOutdoor cable.
Figure C-1: Ethernet Connector Pin Assignments
Use a crimp tool for RJ-45 connectors to prepare the wires, insert them
into the appropriate pins and use the crimp tool to crimp the connector.
Make sure to do the following:
1. Remove as small a length as possible of the external jacket. Verify
that the external jacket is well inside the service box to ensure
good sealing.
2. Take back the shield drain wire before inserting the cable into the
RJ-45 connector, to ensure a good connection with the connector’s
shield after crimping.
