It provides information specific to the Packet-Max system, but cannot and should not be considered a tutorial on relevant technol-ogies and practices. NOTE: It is highly recommended that all customers who intend to deploy the PacketMax System, attend both the PacketMax and the WaveCenter EMS Technical Training courses taught periodically by Aperto Networks Technical Training Department.It is expected that system designers and planners are knowledgeable about radio communications, cellular communication systems, and IP networks. Tutorials on these subjects are beyond the scope of this manual, and are readily available in pub-lished and online materials.Installation of radio equipment involves numerous factors, such as lightning and weather protection, requiring considerable expertise. It is assumed that equipment installers are professionals with knowledge of the principles, standard practices, pro-
Preface Preface - iiiPacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678, Rev J cedures of cell site installation, all relevant safety requirements, and applicable local building codes.General Cautions and WarningsObserve the following when installing or operating any PacketMax System compo-nents.Carefully follow all local building and electrical codes, especially the latest revision of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and standard safety procedures for install-ing and working with this type of equipment. Improper procedures or installation can result in damage to the equipment or the building, and injury or death. If you are not sure about whether the installation follows these codes, contact a licensed building inspector or electrician in the area for assistance.Always use quality components—including cables, connectors, mounts, etc.—specifically rated for your particular environmental conditions and system performance requirements.Always use appropriate tools, and follow the instructions of the tool manufacturers.All outdoor installation, including equipment mounting and cabling, should be per-formed by trained microwave radio technicians familiar with usual and customary practices and procedures.Take extreme care to avoid contacting any overhead power lines, lights, and power circuits while you are installing outdoor equipment. Contact with any of these objects could cause injury or death. Do not install outdoor equipment near power lines.Observe all customary and mandatory safety requirements when installing and operating PacketMax equipment.Make sure that the outdoor radio/antenna is grounded in accordance with local, state, federal, and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. Pay special attention to NEC sections 810 and 820. See the instructions in Chapter 4 of this manual.For the PacketMax 100/300 Series Indoor Unit, use an outlet that contains surge protection and ground fault protection, or use a surge protection device. This will protect the Indoor Unit and equipment connected to it from damage resulting from AC current surges, lightning, etc. For complete protection, all connections to the Indoor Unit (i.e., from radio/antenna and PC/hub) should be connected to a surge
Preface Preface - ivPacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678, Rev J protection device. To ensure the best signal, use surge protectors designed for the specific application.RF Exposure GuidelinesIn order to comply with FCC and Industry Canada requirements for maximum RF exposure levels to persons, the antenna must be mounted in such a way that dur-ing operation, a minimum separation distance of 21 cm is maintained between the antenna and all persons.Prohibition against Unauthorized ModificationsThe user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by Aperto Networks could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.Units sold in the United States can only be used in the FCC specified band of 5.725 to 5.850 GHz.Because Aperto cannot be responsible for improper installation or use of its equip-ment, failure to follow these and other published cautions and warnings may void your equipment warranty.What is new?Revision HistoryRelease 2.3Topics added/revised Section3 DES Encryption See 3 DES Encryption.Certificates and Management See Certificates and Manage-ment.LAN Upgrade Tool See Upgrades.VLAN See VLAN Mode.MSC FacePlate features See Main System Controller Card.Hot-Swap See Hot Swap.Auto-Provisioning See Provisioning the Base Sta-tion with WaveCenter EMS.

Overview Of Base StationOverview Of Base StationThis chapter provides a description of the PacketMax Broadband Multiservice Wire-less Access System, including system architecture, functionality, features, benefits, as well as hardware and software components.This chapter covers the following topics: Conceptual Overview of the PacketMax System Bridge Mode and VLAN Mode of Base Station Features of PacketMax System1
1–2PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 1. Overview Of Base Station1.1 Conceptual Overview of the PacketMax SystemPacketMaxtm5000 (PM 5000) is a carrier-class WiMAX Base Station (BS) that is cer-tified by the WiMAX forum (See Appendix D). It is the network industry’s highest per-forming quality base station. PacketMax 5000 Base Station is based on a carrier class ATCA chassis. The system is compliant with the options in the current 802.16-2004 WiMAX specification using the OFDM256 PHY option.This base station is a modular design and supports large number of deployments. The wireless sectors on the PacektMax 5000 indoor unit is equipped to be 1:N redundant at the wireless port level and 1:1 redundant at the backhaul card level. Currently, it has 4 ports and abundant processing power and bandwidth.There is a high capacity non-blocking backplane with 2.56 Gbps of switching capacity. Figure 1-1 shows the PacketMax overview.A PacketMax System can include: PacketMax infrastructure products such as base stations and point-to-multi point systems:-PackeMax 5000 Base Station, supporting multiple wireless sectors.-Base Station Radios (BSR) and antennas for wireless communication with subscribers. Antennas typically cover a 60°, 90° and 120° sector. So, a 360° cell requires six or four radios, respectively; omnidirectional or other antennas may also be used. PacketMax Subscriber Station products, which serve as interfaces between the PacketMax wireless network and the subscriber’ computer/LAN including:-PacketMax 100 Series Subscriber Stations, which include an integrated outdoor radio/antenna and an indoor power supply. Management tools and utilities, which run on standard computer platforms.

Overview Of Base StationFigure 1-1 PacketMax System Elements1.1.1 Cell Size, Capacity, and ScalabilityAperto’s advanced wireless technologies support a wide range of cell requirements, and make the PacketMax System an exceptionally scalable solution. PacketMax cell specifications include the following: Cell radius depends on the frequency band, line-of-sight, and local conditions.Consult Aperto Networks Customer Service for more details. A cell can employ multiple Base Station. Thus, a single cell can serve thou-sands of subscribers. Subscriber data rates can be individually configured. The ratio of downstream to upstream traffic can be adjusted.The PacketMax System ensures that a wireless network can grow to thousands of subscribers in urban or suburban areas through high frequency reuse and dense multicell deployment. Combining high frequency reuse with advanced interference management and mitigation techniques, the PacketMax System conserves valuable
1–4PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 1. Overview Of Base Stationspectrum by covering extensive geographical areas with a minimum number of channels.As the number of subscribers and the bandwidth needs in a cell increase, new sectors can be added, and multiple Base Station can be stacked to provide additional band-width using multiple channels per sector. To extend service offerings geographically, a service provider simply deploys additional cells.Cells can be interconnected and channels synchronized from a central site without additional synchronization equipment. Aperto’s family of products provide the appro-priate infrastructure.1.1.2 Frequency BandsThe PacketMax System can be deployed in the standard frequency bands used var-iously throughout the world for licensed or unlicensed wireless broadband networking. The PacketMax products operate in 3.3, 3.5, 5.8 GHz Frequency Bands.1.1.3 PacketMax Network ConnectivityThe PacketMax Base Station network connectivity has been highlighted in Figure 1-2. This system demonstrates a bridge mode type of setting for the PacketMax system, as follows.  The PacketMax 5000 is shown connected to the EMS Backend Server and the EMS Client through the management interface on the MSC.  The MSCs and WSCs in the base station are connected through a Backhaul plane. Further, WSCs on the Base Station are connected to the Base Station Radio through RF connectivity.  The Base Station Radio is then connected to the Antennas that communicate with the Subscriber Station PacketMax 100 (integrated antenna).  The EMS Backend Server, EMS Client, Base Station and the Subscriber Unit should all be on the same network.

1–6PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 1. Overview Of Base Station The solution is to not use the dedicated management port but rather to use in-band management on the backhaul port. In doing this, it is required to configure the DHCP server settings on the BS to submit requests through the backhaul port. The basic goal is to allow DHCP/TFTP to happen over the Backhaul link, rather than only over the Management port (fei). 1.2.2 VLAN ModeVLAN Mode: Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) is a method that allows network administrators to create logical broadcast domains, which implies division of local area network by software rather than using cables. The broadcast domains can span across one switch or multiple switches. Thus VLANs:-Reduces the size of broadcast domains-Reduces network traffic-Increases Network security-Reduces the need to create subnetworks-Enables network to be logically separated and not physically.For the Data Traffic in the VLAN Mode, the VLAN IDs are configured when provision-ing SS using EMS. 1.2.2.1 VLAN ConfigurationsIn the PacketMax system there are two types of management configurations, based on the network design, on the PM5000 and they are:  Out of band Management -Users can choose the management port on the MSC of the PM 5000 sys-tem, management traffic. All other traffic will pass through the backhaul port.  Inband Management-Users can choose the backhaul port on the MSC of the PM 5000 system, for management traffic. In this configuration, both management and data traffic will flow over the backhaul port.Optionally, Management VLAN may be specified for management traffic.The backhaul port connected to the VLAN switch, needs to be configured to dot1q trunk (IEEE 802.1q) standard. 1.2.2.2 Out of band Management with Management VLANOutbound Management traffic adds security, when the management VLAN is enabled. The outbound management is tagged with this VLAN ID. Both BS and SSs should use same VLAN ID as Management VLAN ID. For example, if VLAN ID num-ber is 1 on BS, it has to be the same (VLAN ID 1) on SS as well. The management VLAN ID needs to be set:
1–7PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 1. Overview Of Base Station On the PM5000 BS, manually. NOTE: Changing Management Port in VLAN requires MSC reboot. On the SS, using the Installation Manager. Please refer to Chapter 6 “Commissioning the Base Station”, for setting up Manage-ment VLAN ID on the BS and refer to the PacketMax 100/300 User Manual for setting up the Management VLAN ID on the SS.Typically management port is used for sending/receiving management traffic (Ping/TFTP/DHCP packets from/to BS or SS). Figure 1-3 displays DHCP/TFTP over man-agement port (a management interface set-up).Figure 1-3 Out of band Management1.2.2.3 Inband Management with Management VLANThe date/traffic are segmented by traffic VLANs and is implemented by the backhaul ports (Inband management). This VLAN carries inbound traffic.The Backhaul Interface can be either Fast Ethernet or Gigabit interfaces. Backhaul port could be used for sending/receiving data traffic.

Overview Of Base Station Figure 1-4 Inband Management It is recommended to connect EMS server and Base station unit in the same VLAN, for the ease of management and quick troubleshooting incase of any failures.1.2.2.4 VLAN ClassifiersThe VLAN switch identifies traffic corresponding to each LAN interface by attaching a VLAN tag to the Ethernet frame as the traffic is switched to its WAN interface. The Ethernet switch provides isolation of one customer LAN traffic from another custom-ers. As each customer’s traffic can be identified with a VLAN ID, it can be mapped onto an individual Service Flow enabling individualized QoS on a per customer basis. A VLAN Classifier is a set of rules that determine how the PM 100/PM 300 assigns a VLAN ID and priority to a packet based on a wide range of packet parameters such as: Source or destination IP address(es). Source or destination MAC address(es). IP TOS. TCP/UDP Port numbers.NOTE: VLAN classifiers are applied only when the unit is configured with them enabled. This is configured in EMS, and is described in the WaveCenter EMS User manual.NOTE: IP addresses used for VLAN classifiers do not warn the user when the resulting address is the broadcast or network address.

1–9PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 1. Overview Of Base Station1.2.2.5 VLAN Application ExampleAn example (Figure 1-5 )using the Point-to-Multipoint PacketMax 5000 Product with two SSs (Subscriber Station) and a Cisco 2950 Series VLAN switch is described in this section.  The Base Station Backhaul Fast Ethernet Port is Trunked, via the MSC (Main System Controller), to the Cisco 2950 Series VLAN Switch.  Two ports on Cisco VLAN Switch are configured in Access mode to tag all incoming packets. The first port is configured with VLAN ID 101 and the sec-ond VLAN ID 102; these ports are used to connect non VLAN enable devices.  Two PacketMax SSs are configured in VLAN mode to tag all incoming pack-ets. One SS is configured to tag all incoming packets with ID 101 and the other with ID 102.  The PacketMax products (MSC and SS) are configured to be managed using VLAN ID 100. Hence, another Port on the VLAN switch is configured to tag all packets coming from the EMS Server with VLAN ID 100 to the Base Sta-tion Management interface on the MSC. Figure 1-5 VLAN Application 1.2.2.6 Looping PreventionThe communication between SS and PM 5000 and the communication between SS and EMS server occurs over the management VLAN. The management traffic des-tined to EMS server from SS is sent out only on management port of PM5000 and it will not be sent out of backhaul port. Also, if backhaul port receives any management traffic, it will drop it. Hence, if you try to ping PM5000 (which is in VLAN Mode) using management VLAN ID through Trunk - BackhaulPC 172.16.0.1PC 172.16.0.1PC 172.16.0.2VLAN 100VLAN 101VLAN 102Trunk - Management

Ping will work if it is tagged with appropriate management VLAN ID and it is sent through management port. NOTE: Base Station Unit and Subscriber Stations need to be configured in the VLAN Mode to avoid any configuration issues. It is not recommended to run the base station in the Bridge Mode and Subscriber station in the VLAN Mode. However, this combination might work but we do not guarantee and Aperto does not support in this mode. 1.2.3 Point-to-Point ModeThe PacketMAX 5000/3000 Base Stations in combination with PacketMAX 100/300 Subscriber Stations provide high-speed, cost-effective links for point-to-point applica-tions. With unprecedented interference resilience and minimal spectrum usage, they are ideal for such applications as high-speed backhaul of Wi-Fi hotspot networks, higher-capacity alternatives to T1/E1 connections, and building-to-building connec-tions in the enterprise environments.Features that support Point-to-Point applications include: Support for 3.3, 3.5, and 5.8 GHz frequency bands High interference immunity Exceptional wireless range (up to approximately 35 to 50 miles/ 55 to 80 km, depending on the frequency band) Outdoor radio units with connectorized output for high-gain antennas to extend the range of the wireless link. Synchronization between units Management via SNMP-based Element Management System.Figure 1-6 PacketMAX 5000 in Point-to-Point ModePont-to-Point Mode allows you to increase the number of supported hosts up to 7500. You can enable or disable the Point-to-Point Mode from the SS Configuration screen in the WaveCenter EMS Pro.The following table lists the number of hosts supported in Point-to-Point mode, based on the product and the frequency band:

1–12PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 1. Overview Of Base Station1.3.1.1 DHCP Server and IP Address Assignment The PacketMax System supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which manages IP address assignment for most interfaces in the PacketMax devices. NOTE: In the configuration of the DHCP server, the PacketMax System IP addresses must be fixed—i.e., reserved for the specific units; they cannot currently be dynamically assigned, but this planned for a future software release.Specifically, PacketMax System IP addresses are assigned as follows: The BS receives the IP address of its backhaul interface from the DHCP server for its subnet. The BS’s wireless interfaces (WSC) are assigned IP addresses as part of the BS configuration (using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager). SS receive the IP addresses of their wireless interfaces from the DHCP server. Computers, PCs and other hosts that WaveCenter EMS configures for its DHCP server, connected to he SS receive IP addresses in a variety of ways:-From ISP’s DHCP server, via DHCP relay agents in the SS.-By manual assignment by the ISP.1.3.2 ServicesEach Base Station Unit requires access to DHCP and TFTP servers to boot up prop-erly. Access to additional servers is required for the support of specific features.1.3.2.2 TFTP ServerFor the PacketMax System, the main function of the TFTP server is to store the system configuration files, and download them on request. Each Base Station Unit and Subscriber Unit requests its configuration file on hardware or software reboot (cold or warm start). A TFTP Server is included in EMS. NOTE: Whenever a Base Station Unit or Subscriber Unit boots up, the con-figuration file must be successfully downloaded from the TFTP server for the unit to become operational. If the configuration file is not successfully down-loaded, the BS or SS will come up in standby mode.1.3.2.3 SNTP ServerThe Base Station Unit typically derives the time and date from an SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) server identified by the DHCP server. The BS includes time zone and daylight savings time parameters which it applies to the received time and date as appropriate. A SNTP Server is not included in EMS.NOTE: Alternatively, date and time can be set via the Web and SNMP inter-faces.Subscriber Units use the BS as their time server.
1–13PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 1. Overview Of Base Station1.3.2.4 DNS ServerThe DHCP server should identify a DNS server to be used in the resolution of Internet domain names. This can be configured through the server configuration tool under DHCP settings. A DNS Server is not included in EMS.1.3.2.5 SMTP ServerThe PacketMax Base Station Unit can use E-mail to announce events. If this feature is to be used, an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server must be specified. A SMTP Server is not included in EMS.1.3.2.6 System Log Server (Syslog)If a Syslog server is identified in the BS configuration, the Base Station will log all events to the specified server using the standard Syslog protocol. A Syslog Server is not included in EMS.NOTE: Syslog is needed to effectively monitor the PacketMax system. Ser-vice providers should install this server in their network.1.3.2.7 SNMP ManagerSNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an industry standard for manage-ment of computer networks. PacketMax Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units include built-in SNMP agents. These agents can be accessed by SNMP man-agement applications such as WaveCenter EMS Pro.NOTE: PacketMax SNMP agents use SNMP v.2 syntax for objects.1.3.3 MIBsEach PacketMax BS and SS includes a SNMP agent supporting the following MIBs: MIB II (RFC 1213) Aperto private MIB Wimax-IF-MIB (objects for 802.16 based SS and BS)The complete MIBs are provided on the PacketMax CD-ROM, and are available on the Aperto Web site, www.apertonet.com.SNMP can be used to read configuration, status, and performance data from Sub-scriber Units. In addition, SNMP can be used to change some configuration parame-ters (those which can be changed via the Configuration Manager in EMS), and to upload the configuration changes to the TFTP server (if the TFTP server is configured to accept uploads).The SNMP agents support trap reporting. Trap-reporting parameters can be specified via the Configuration Manager as well as via SNMP.NOTE: Changes to the IP addresses of SNMP servers do not take place until a system reboot.
1–14PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 1. Overview Of Base Station1.3.4 Service Offerings and QoSThe PacketMax System is designed to give service providers freedom in the definition of multiple services and the specification of quality-of-service (QoS) levels. Different kinds of applications can be used with the three types of classes of service (CoS). Before configuring individual subscribers, services and QoS parameters need to be identified. Factors involved include: Service Class, which may be:-Best Effort (BE)-Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS)-Non Real Time (NRT) Type of application Overall and peak bandwidthsBe sure to check values of UGS service flows when switching between the selections of VOIP FLOW types. The values of the previously configured information remain to aid the user to create multiple, similar flows.  BE service flows are not given any performance guarantees, and are only allo-cated bandwidth after the requirements of the other service classes are satis-fied (this is the class of service given to most current residential DSL and cable modem users). However, to prevent starvation, the group of all BE flows is guaranteed a configurable amount of bandwidth UGS flows are designed for constant bit rate traffic (CBR). In the uplink, the BS uses the unsolicited grant mechanism to schedule fixed-size grants at a recur-ring interval with as little latency as possible. Thus, UGS is suitable specifically for voice and other applications with similar real-time requirements.  NRT service flows are given a guaranteed minimum amount of bandwidth, and can be offered as a higher-priced tier of service. Note that the configured band-width is a minimum that can be exceeded if extra bandwidth is available (in con-trast to traffic shaping, which enforces a maximum). Uplink service flows provisioned as NRT, rely on the non real time polling scheme to request band-width. 1.3.4.8 Concepts of PacketMax Service Level DefinitionThe PacketMax quality-of-service (QoS) capability is based on sets of classifiers and service flows, and links between the two, as shown in Figure 1-7. A classifier is one or more layer 2 and/or layer 3 parameters which will identify a particular traffic flow. A service flow is a set of parameters which will determine the performance characteristics (QoS) of traffic assigned to that flow.When a classifier is defined, it is assigned to a specific service flow. Thus, any traffic meeting the classifier specifications will be transmitted according to the performance characteristics of its assigned service flow.Traffic not meeting any of the defined classifiers is assigned to a default Best Effort service flow. The characteristics of this default service are configurable, but the ser-vice class must be Best Effort (BE).
1–15PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 1. Overview Of Base Station1.3.4.9 Assigning Service LevelsService levels are assigned in the individual SS configuration files, allowing for max-imum flexibility in differentiating services among subscribers.To define the Service flows for a subscriber, EMS lets the user choose a Default Ser-vice flow. This is done by choosing the Add Default Classifier button. The WiMAX standard will drop any packet that does not meet any Classifier rule.

1–16PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 1. Overview Of Base Station1.3.5 ARQ FeatureARQ is a technique that handles transmission errors that occur when data is trans-mitted over unclear (noise) channels. The way it works is that, the transmitter uses a sliding-window protocol to control the number of blocks waiting to be transmitted, retransmitted or acknowledged. The maximum number of unacknowledged blocks at the transmitter should not exceed the ARQ Window Size. The IEEE standard defines an ARQ feedback mechanism, used by the receiver to provide feedback on ceaselessly received or lost ARQ blocks. A flexible bitmap-based ARQ Feedback is defined in the standard which can support four different types of acknowledgements. They are: Selective ACK – In this, each bit in the bitmap indicates whether the corre-sponding block has been received correctly or not Cumulative ACK – This is used to acknowledge correct reception of all blocks up to a specified sequence number Cumulative with Selective ACK entry – This combines functionality of Selective ACK and Cumulative ACK. Cumulative ACK with Block Sequence ACK entry – This has the ability to acknowledge reception of ARQ blocks in terms of block sequences.The standard does not specify any rules on the usage of the four different feedback types and leaves it open to implementation. Aperto’s implementation of the ARQ feed-back mechanism relies on a proprietary scheme, which allows to optimally select the feedback type based on the block error pattern or in some cases to combine more than one types in order to efficiently use the bandwidth. The ARQ feedback information can be sent either as a standalone MAC management message on the appropriate management connection, or piggybacked on an existing data connection. The frequency of acknowledgement generation and the bandwidth allocated for ARQ feedback traffic is controlled by the scheduler based on proprietary scheme controls ARQ feedback traffic.ARQ parameters can be configured or modified on a per Service class/service flow basis to accommodate special traffic requirements. However, it is strongly recom-mended that the default settings are preserved since those are the result of an exten-sive simulation study and have been shown to result in very good performance under noisy link conditions.Some of the configurable ARQ parameters are: ARQ_WINDOW_SIZE  ARQ_BLOCK_SIZE  ARQ_BLOCK_LIFETIME  ARQ_RETRY_TIMEOUT  ARQ_SYNC_LOSS_TIMEOUT  ARQ_RX_PURGE_TIMEOUT These parameters are discussed and explained in the WaveCenter EMS User Man-ual.

Overview Of Base Station1.3.6 3 DES Encryption3 DES encryption scheme helps secure the communication channels between the base station and subscriber station by encrypting the data flow between the two. The Encryption procedure is as follows:1. At first, the SS initiates the authorization process and sends message to the BS indicating that it is capable of encryption.2. The BS authorizes the SS by verifying the device and Vendor Certificate of the SS during the Privacy Key Management (PKM) Message Exchange. 3. An Authorization Key (AK) is used to decrypt the Traffic Encryption Keys (TEKs) using PKM protocol. The AK is periodically refreshed and is encrypted using 3DES.4. In the BS, the TEKs are generated and send to SS using the 3DES encryption format. The SS decrypts these TEKs using a Key Encryption Key (KEK) gen-erated from the AK. If the BS encrypts the TEK using the RSA Public Key of SS, then the SS decrypts it using its Private Key.5. The TEKs are used for encrypting data on different Service Flows (SF) between the BS and SS.6. All the Service Flows for one SS will have the same key in both upstream and downstream.NOTE: To enable encryption on every service flow, please refer to the WaveCenter EMS User Manual.7. The traffic between the BS and SS can now be encrypted/decrypted using the TEK keys.

Currently we are upgrading the Primary MSC with the Wimax Root Certificate during the Upgrade Process.1.3.7.10 Certificate UpgradesSome important factors that users should take a note of, for certificate upgrades are: In a redundant BS configuration, the certificates need to be installed using the LAN upgrade tool. Once the user has a device which is certified, the LAN upgrade and Bulk Upgrade tool has to be used to upgrade the certificates.1.3.8 UpgradesThere are two types of upgrades that can be done using the EMS, and they are: Bulk Upgrade : The bulk upgrade feature of EMS allows the users to upgrade the BS/SS efficiently. LAN Upgrade: When there is network connectivity to the BS, users can upgrade the SS using the LAN upgrade tool in EMS. This implies that LAN Upgrade can be used typically in a laboratory environment.

Base Station ComponentsWARNING: You cannot have a WSC-48 card drive a 24 V radio.2.4 Main System Controller CardThe MSC serves as the brain of the PM 5000. It performs networking functions like Bridging, VLAN, VLAN Tagging (double) and Routing (Future). Remote network management and configuration is possible through dedicated management port (for remote out-of-band management) or via the Backhaul port for in-band-management. Local management is possible through a serial port. Its advanced processors deliver superior packet processing performance for critical functions like QoS classification, packet forwarding, and filtering. It also aggregates the traffic of up to 12 wireless sectors into a high-speed Gigabit Copper of Fiber Backhaul interface. The MSC card synchronizes all internal wireless sectors enabling efficient collocation and frequency reuse when multiple radios are installed in the chassis. External clock input/output ports enable the MSC card to synchronize either with other PacketMAX Base Stations installed at the same location or with a external clock source like a GPS receiver. Thus, the MSC monitors, controls, and assures proper operations of the modular base station chassis.The Networking functions include:Management Backhaul and data aggregationSynchronization The Shelf Management System (SMS) functions include:Watches over the basic health of the system, reports anomalies, and takes cor-rective action when needed.Retrieve inventory information and sensor readings as well as receives event reports and failure notifications from modules in the system.Perform basic recovery operations such as power cycle or reset each module in the system. Manage system power and cooling.

Base Station Components2.5 MSC RedundancyThe MSC Redundancy feature prevents the MSC from becoming a single point of failure. This also reduces system downtime due to replacement of MSC cards. This feature requires that a second MSC card is installed in to the PM 5000 BS.The configuration uses a secondary card of the same type to serve as a standby card and takes over if the active card fails. In this 1:1 redundant card configuration, one card operates in the active mode and a second card operates in standby mode, ready to provide services if an active card fails. To minimize switchover time and prevent service interruption, standby cards are dedicated to a single active card and cannot support additional cards. Standby cards do not support services until they transition to the active state. Figure 2-7 shows MSC Redundancy.Figure 2-7 Redundant MSC2.5.1 Redundancy supportMSC Redundancy support for PM 5000 is as follows:A Redundant system should have QWC with WSC-48.

Base Station ComponentsFigure 2-12 Front Panel installed as QWC cardTo maintain proper air flow within the chassis and to comply with Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) regulations, front panels must be installed on all empty slots. Hence, PM5000 slots that have no cards installed, need a front panel (P/N: PM 5000-FRONT PANEL) to be inserted. Each panel has a air baffle on the right hand side. This air baffle ensures that air flow from the fan units blow only over the inserted cards. It is critical to have front panels inserted into every “open” slot. Figure 2-11 shows the picture of en empty card inserted in to a base station slot in a PM 5000 four sector BS, while Figure 2-12 shows the 12 sector BS.2.10 Fan UnitThe PM 5000 uses a hot-swappable modular fan-unit, (P/N: PM5000-FAN-1) that can be replaced while the system is running.To replace a new fan, unscrew the screw below and pull out the fan. Replace the fan and shut the slot followed by tightening the screw. Figure 2-13 shows an open fan.

Base Station Components2.12 PacketMax 5000 Rear PanelDepending on the user’s needs, the BS could contain two hot-swappable, redundant, and load-sharing power supplies. One power supply will take over the entire load if the other one fails. The failed power supply can be removed and a new one installed while the BS is operating. 2.12.1 GroundingWARNING: It is critical that users must properly ground their PM 5000 base sta-tion. Not grounding the PM 5000 BS can cause damage to the PM 5000 or other equipment that may be attached to it.The BS rear panel contains a ground lug that is used to connect the system to ground. Aperto recommends that a standard copper insulated wire that is at least 12 gauge or less be used to ground the PM 5000 chassis. To properly ground the PM5000 chassis:1. Use a grounding lug provided in the back of the system.2. Crimp the copper grounding cable to the base station grounding lug and earth ground the other side of the cable.2.12.2 DC Power ConnectionA DC-powered PacketMAX 5000 includes two redundant 3-pin terminal blocks on the rear panel. These terminals are labeled -, +, and GND. DC Power is provided externally to the base station if DC chassis is being used; and there is no power supply provided in the chassis. To apply power to the PacketMAX 5000, screw in securely and connect the 3 leads from a -48 V DC source that can supply up to 25 Amps to the terminals using 12 AWG or heavier solid copper wire. For cable lengths greater 10m (30ft) use 10AWG or heavier solid copper wire. Since there is a on-off switch; disconnecting the power leads is the standard way to remove power from the Base Station Unit.NOTE: Please be sure to verify, using a volt meter, the polarity of the DC Voltages. Not doing this could result in damage to the system.NOTE: If you are using DC power to the BS, both power connectors on the back of the BS have to be connected to power outlets for the power supply to be redundant. The chassis has two redundant power backplanes and each of the two DC connectors on the back of he chassis is connected to one backplane.

Base Station ComponentsFigure 2-17 AC input- Rear of the PM 50002.13.1 FuseThe AC power supply is protected by a fuse in a holder located next to the power connector on the rear panel of the Base Station. The fuse is a 10 A, 250 V time-lag high-breaking fuse, 5 x 20 mm (Bussmann S505-10A). Replacement fused can be ordered from Aperto parts.Should this fuse blow, determine and correct the cause (if possible). Then replace the fuse as follows:1. Disconnect the BS’s AC power cord.2. Remove the fuse holder.3. Remove the fuse from the clips that hold it, and verify that the fuse has blown.4. Place a new fuse in the clips.5. Snap the fuse holder into the opening in the rear panel.6. Reconnect the Base Station Unit’s power cord.2.14 Base Station RadioThe BSR consists of a RF transceiver (available in a variety of frequency bands) that connects to a base station antenna (120 degree, 60 degree, 90 degree, or omnidirectional) through a single coaxial cable, up to a maximum of 200 m (600 ft).
2–25PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 2. Base Station ComponentsThe BSR interfaces to the IF card of the WSS via a RG-6 cable. The input to the BSR is a composite signal and comprises DC power, 20 MHz reference signal, 70 MHz (IF) modulated signal, and the telemetry signals. The telemetry signals are used for communication between BSR and WSS for controlling the RF parameters and also for reporting radio status.NOTE: A 1 m cable would have a loss of 0.5 dB.

When a set of base stations are synchronized together, they will all trans-mit at a time. Otherwise, additional frequency bandwidth must be provided between each frequency channel to avoid interference.Connecting to RS-232 PortConnecting to 10/100 Base-T
3–9PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter 3. Installing the Base Station IDUPacketMax Base Stations have the capability of synchronizing with each other by using and sharing the common reference signals: A 1Hz sync signal and a 10 MHz reference clock. This allows them to synchronize all of the adjoining frequencies, pro-viding maximum efficiency of bandwidth utilization. The two clocks used for synchro-nization can be either externally generated (by a GPS receiver) or internally generated by the PM 5000 BS itself. Internally generated signals are available on the PM 5000s SYNC Output and 10 MHz Output BNC ports. NOTE: For proper synchronization, the frame size and upstream/downstream frame parameters must be the same for all synchronized BSs.The PM 5000 has four BNC connectors that are used to synchronize multiple base stations - two are used for Input Sync Signals (10 MHz and 1 PPS clocks) and two are for Output Sync Signals (10 MHz and 1 PPS clocks). The PM 5000 internally gen-erates a 10 MHz clock and a PPS clock. If no clock sources are detected on its 10 MHz and Sync Input ports, the PM 5000 turns into SYNC MASTER mode, internally generates 10 MHz and 1 PPS clocks, and outputs them to its Sync Output ports. On the other hand, if external clocks are detected, the PM 5000 turns into SYNC SLAVE mode, using the external clocks to synchronize itself, and outputs them to its Sync Output ports. As the sync signal is always available on PM 5000’s Sync Output ports, it is possible to daisy chain multiple PM 5000s together. Clock and Sync LED status is shown in Table 3-3.To interconnect multiple Base Station Units:1. Select one Base Station Unit as the main Sync Master.2. Connect the Sync Out connector on the main Sync Master signal source to the Sync In of the Slave Base station units. Additional units connect from Slave Sync and Clock outputs.3. Connect the Clock Out connector on the main Sync Master signal source to the Clock In of the Slave Base station units4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, for all additional slave Base Station units.A short coax cable (RG6 or LMR) with BNC connectors must be used to interconnect the base station radios. Note that two cables are needed for each base station con-nection. Although not required to co-locate multiple PM 5000 base stations, PM 5000 Table 3-3 Sync and Clock LEDs LEDs StatusExt.

Connect the BSR (ODU) to the BSU (IDU) - IF CableThe coax cable connects the Base Station Radio to the Base Station IDU and provides DC Power and IF Signalling. This cables runs from the outdoor radios to the indoor Base Station Unit, so a suitable cable run and building entry point must be identified. Maximum length depends on the BSR type and cable type used (Refer to Table 4-2).NOTE: For these outdoor-to-indoor connections, the order of the steps in the instal-lation procedure will vary depending on a number of factors, including site particu-lars and installers’ preferred practice. For example, in some cases it may be best to run unterminated cable and then attach connectors; in others it may be more efficient to attach one or both connectors to the cable before running it. Also, cable dressing at various locations may be best performed at different points in the procedure. Therefore, the procedures given for radio-to-BS connections should be taken as a list of necessary steps and a suggested order, and modified as appropriate for your cir-cumstances.Choosing an IF Cable Torque to 20 in-lbs [1.7 N-m]RF ConnectorIF coax cable from Base Station connects here

B–1PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JCommand Line Interface (CLI)Each Base Station Unit includes a simple command line interface (CLI) accessible using Telnet via the RJ45 Connector and the front-panel RS-232 craft port. The CLI is intended primarily for troubleshooting and debug use under direction of Aperto per-sonnel.Please Refer to PacketMax CLI Reference Manual, Rev B for further information on the commands.NOTE: CLI is not a supported management interfaceB.1 Accessing the CLITo access and use the Base Station Unit’s command line interface:1. Telnet to the Base Station Unit’s IP address, or connect directly to the RS-232 craft port.2. At the Login: prompt, enter ISP. (There is also a Debug logon level, which is re-served for Aperto use. NOTE: All CLI entries, including logon level and password, are case-sensi-tive.3. At the Password: prompt, enter the correct password for the specified logon level.NOTE: The default password is isp (case-sensitive). Passwords can be changed via the WaveCenter Configuration Manager, SNMP, and the CLI.4. When the CLI# prompt appears, you are in the CLI.5. Figure B-1 shows sample CLI displays.B

B–3PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter B. Command Line Interface (CLI)2.2.1 Command HelpThe CLI provides command help as follows: For a list of commands, type ? (the ? will not appear on the screen; pressing [Enter] is not necessary). The CLI will respond with a list of the available com-mand groups. To see the specific commands in a group, type the group name followed by ? (again, the ? will not appear, and pressing [Enter] is not necessary). To display information about the use of a specific commands, including com-mand parameters, enter the command followed by ?.2.2.2 Command EntryCommands can be entered all at once or in parts.If a partial command is typed and [Enter] is pressed, the prompt will change to include that partial command in parentheses. For example:CLI# show CLI(show)#If a partial command is typed and ? is pressed, options for the next part of the com-mand will be listed, and the prompt will change to include that partial command fol-lowing #. For example:CLI# show ? In either case, the user then enters the rest of the desired command.NOTE: When the prompt includes part of a command, typing [ctrl-Z] returns the CLI to the top-level CLI# prompt.

B–4PacketMax 5000 Installation and Operation Manual, 10007678 Rev JChapter B. Command Line Interface (CLI)2.2.3 Error MessagesError messages which may be returned by the BS CLI include the following: Error: Bad Command — command has been entered incorrectly. Error: Invalid Parameter — command parameter has been entered incor-rectly. Not applicable for BS — command applies to SS CLI only. Passwords are not the same — when setting a password, two password entries do not match.NOTE: The highest priority in Aperto Networks’ system is passing of traffic. The command line interface will be slow to respond if all bandwidth on the ports is flooded. This will most likely happen in denial of service attacks from the users and at the same time in the infrastructure. If the infrastructure is clean from attacks, the CLI will be available.

If the number of SSs registering exceeds the number of supported SSs configure in the BS. Move the SS to another sector.If the SS’s configuration file specifies a larger number of Classifiers.Reduce number of Classifiers.The SS’s configuration file specifies Service Flows for which the BS does not have any reserved bandwidth.Install more capacity or move the SS another sector.Base Station MSC does not get an IP address from EMS.Wrong Mac address Check the Mac address of the port that you have connected to matches the Mac address in EMS.Verify the correct Mac address using the “showmsc” command (CLI Refer-ence manual). Base Station and EMS are not on the same network.Check the EMS and BS are on the same collision domain/same layer 2 subnet.More than one dhcp in the server. Check dhcp and make sure that there is only one dhcp in the server.Radio does not initialize WSC and BSR are not connected prop-erly.Check to see if the cable is properly connected to the WSC and BSR. Check to see it meets the distance and cabling specifications listed in this man-ual. Use a known good WSC or BSR to isolate the failing portion.TFTP failure Config files are not in the right location and Backend Server is still running.Point config files to the right location. No DHCP entry Using third party DHCP and TFTP and while adding SS and BS the DHCP entry will not be created.Users have to manually create DHCP entry.LED sequence unclear Shelf Manager- WSCOOS LED - Does not indicate redIndicates red, only when the system is out of service.Wait till the OOS LED turns red. This implies the card is safe to remove. Minor LED -Does not indicate orange color. This LED indicates an orange color only when something is not working and there is a minor alarm.

TroubleshootingLED sequence unclear Synchronization- MSCMaster LED- Does not show greenThe card is not inserted fully or prop-erly.Since there is one MSC now, this should always show green. When there are multiple Base Stations there would be a master and a slave. In that case, master card will be green and the slave will be blinking green.Check if the card is inserted properly.Sync LED - Green There is no synchronization of base stations.Indicates OFF if MSC is not in sync and solid green if MSC is in sync. The Mas-ter mode and the standby mode is blinking green.Check the sync cable connected to the cables.Ext. Clk LED - Green No external clk is connected. (OFF)Connects the external 10MHz refer-ence source for PacketMax signalling. (ON)Check that the external clock is up and running. Check cable connection between clock and sync port.LED sequence unclear Shelf Manager - MSCOOS LED - Red The card is not safe to remove.Indicates red, only when the system is out of service. Out of service indicates red when the shelf manager detects that there is a problem. For example, the power is missing or the MSC card has functionality issues.Remove the card only when OOS shows red. This indicates that the card it is safe to remove.Minor LED - Does not indicate orangeThis LED indicates an orange color only when something is not working and there is a minor alarm. Pwr LED - If the Power LED is not blinking greenThis is Power LED. Green indicates normal power. Off indicates no power.Check the power supply and look at the fault manager in EMS. This could also mean that the IF card is bad.H/S LED - Does not show blue LED.This LED indicates hot swap (blue in color).Holding the ejectors at both ends of the cards will initiate a H/S LED to come on.Bootrom is at a higher version or is incompatible with the firmware.Upgrade the bootrom after upgrading the firmware. BS should be operational with the new firmware, before program-ming the bootrom of the BS.Ensure the upgrade procedure of the Base Station is done properly, as in the Upgrade Base Station Instructions.Table F-1 Troubleshooting Problems and Corrective Actions (Continued)
