C HA PTER 6. BSU AND S UBSCR IBER CON FI GU RATI ON Managing Configuration Files Before using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager, be sure you understand the principles of configuration file management discussed below. Opening and Loading Files When you click on the BSU or subscriber Indoor Unit (CPE) icon on the WaveCenter Configuration Manager home screen, a new (“blank”) configuration file is opened with the default parameters. You can then load an existing file by selecting File — Open from the menu bar, or the file open icon on the toolbar. The Configuration Manager will let you browse for the desired file. NOTE: Some screens have a new instance icon on the right side. This icon does not cause a new configuration file to be opened; rather, it causes a new instance to be opened, and is displayed only on pages which can be configured multiple times for multiple instances (such as multiple SNMP managers; see Figure6-2). Saving Files There are two methods for saving configuration files, as identified in Table6-A: • Selecting File — Save as from the page menu line. The Configuration Manager will prompt for a file name. • Clicking on the Generate BSC Config or Generate Configuration File (CPE) button. The Configuration Manager will prompt with the suggested file name in the format bsc_.cfg or cpe_ .cfg, using the MAC address entered during configuration. See the discussion of file names below. NOTE: Some screens have a page save icon on the right side. This icon does not cause the configuration file to be saved; rather, it causes the current instance to be added to the configuration file which is being created or modified. The page save icon is displayed only on pages which can be configured multiple times for multiple instances (such as multiple SNMP managers; see Figure6-2). File Names Configuration files are required to have unique names so that each BSU and subscriber Indoor Unit can download the correct configuration file from the TFTP server. Table6-B identifies the naming convention suggested by Aperto, which uses MAC addresses to guarantee uniqueness. These are the default names used when you click on the Generate BSC Config or Generate Configuration File button, as described above. While the naming convention identified in Table 6-B is recommended, it is not required. You can use any other format you wish, as long as the names are unique. 070-20000340-01 Rev A 6–6 C HA PTER 6. BSU Table6-B AND S UBSCR IBER CON FI GU RATI ON Suggested Convention for Naming Configuration Files Configured Entity File Name Format Example Base Station Unit bsc_ .cfg bsc_00013b0002e4.cfg (for MAC 00:01:3b:00:02:e4) Subscriber cpe_ .cfg cpe_00013b00025d.cfg (for MAC 00:01:3b:00:02:5d) Storage Location To be accessed by the Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units when they boot, the configuration files must be specified in the DHCP server’s configuration file and stored in the default directory (typically, \tftpboot) of the TFTP server. You can save directly to that directory when creating the configuration files, or save to a different location and then transfer the files before booting the configured units. Configuration Template Files It will often be efficient to create generic configuration files which can be used as templates when adding new BSUs, WSSs, or subscribers. You create and save a configuration template the same way you create and save a configuration file, but save it with a descriptive file name rather than a file name linking it by MAC address to a specific unit. Then, when you want to use the template as the basis for a new configuration file, you load the template, make any changes necessary, and save the file using the correct file name for the new unit. NOTE: Similarly, you can base a new configuration file on an existing configuration file by loading the existing file, editing it, and saving it using the proper file name for the new unit. Downloading Configuration Files After the configuration files have been created and stored on the TFTP server, the configured devices need to be booted up. (The Base Station Unit must be operational when a subscriber Indoor Unit is initialized, or the initialization will fail.) The booted device will then automatically download its configuration from the TFTP server. Each Base Station Unit and subscriber Indoor Unit stores its configuration in non-volatile memory. When it reboots, it downloads the latest configuration from the TFTP server if it is able to, and then makes any changes to its configuration based on a comparison of the downloaded configuration with the stored configuration. If the device cannot successfully download its configuration from the TFTP server, it operates with its stored configuration. 070-20000340-01 Rev A 6–7 C HA PTER 6. BSU USING THE AND S UBSCR IBER CON FI GU RATI ON W AVE CENTER CONFIGURATION MANAGER To configure a cell using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager, follow this general procedure: 1.

A BSU Configuration Manager window will open. 3. Configure the Base Station Unit as described later in this chapter, under the heading Base Station Configuration. NOTE: If there are multiple BSUs, you may want to create and use a template file. See the section Managing Configuration Files earlier in this chapter. 4. When you are done, click on the Generate BSC Config button to save the BSU configuration. 5. Close the BSU Configuration Manager window. If there is another BSU to configure, return to step 2. If there is no other BSU to configure, go to step 6. 6. Click on the home page’s subscriber Indoor Unit (CPE) icon. A subscriber CPE Configuration Manager window will open. 7. Configure the subscriber equipment as described in the section Subscriber Equipment Configuration later in this chapter. NOTE: You may want to create and use a template file. See the section Managing Configuration Files earlier in this chapter. 8. When you are done, click on the Generate Configuration File button to save the subscriber configuration. 9. Close the CPE Configuration Manager window. If there is another subscriber to configure, return to step 6. If there is no other subscriber to configure, go to step 10. 10. Exit from the WaveCenter Configuration Manager. 11. Copy all of the configuration files to the default directory for the system’s TFTP server, typically \tftpboot (unless you saved them directly to that directory). 070-20000340-01 Rev A 6–8 C HA PTER 6. BSU AND S UBSCR IBER CON FI GU RATI ON BASE S TATION C ONF IGURATION To configure a Base Station Unit, including the wireless radio interfaces (WSSs, or wireless subsystems), click on the BSU icon on the WaveCenter Configuration Manager home screen (Figure 6-1). The BSU Configuration Manager will open in a new window, as shown in Figure 6-3. There are four required parameters for WSS/BSU configuration: WSS center frequency (WSS — Frame menu); WSS subnet IP addresses and subnet masks (WSS — Multiple Subnet menu); and BSU MAC address (MAIN — General menu. All other parameters are optional. Figure6-3 070-20000340-01 Rev A Base Station Opening Menu (WSS — Frame) 6–9 C HA PTER 6. BSU AND S UBSCR IBER CON FI GU RATI ON There are four first-level menu tabs for BSU configuration, as shown by the upper row of tabs in Figure6-3: • WSS — Used to configure each wireless subsystem (radio interface) on the Base Station Unit. • Main — Used to specify various parameters for the Base Station Unit itself. • SNMP — Used to configure the Base Station Unit for SNMP management. • Alerts — Used to configure the Base Station Unit for email event alerts. Configuring Wireless Subsystems (WSS) Click on the WSS tab in the upper row. As the second row of tabs in Figure6-3 shows, there are six menus for configuring a WSS: • Frame — Used to specify how the wireless signal will be framed and synchronized. • Channel — Used to configure the wireless communication channel. • Radio — Used to configure the radio and antenna connected to the WSS. • Multiple Subnet — Used to specify at least one subnet and mask per WSS. • CD Packet — • Preamble — The WSS Configuration — Edit WSS File: field on the Frame menu allows you to load an existing WSS configuration file, causing all of the WSS menus to display the current settings for that WSS file. You can then either modify that file, or save it under another name. You will need to create a separate configuration for each WSS. The basic procedure is as follows: 070-20000340-01 Rev A 1. Start with the WSS — Frame menu (Figure6-3 ). If desired, use the Edit WSS File field to load an existing WSS configuration as a template. 2.

BSU AND S UBSCR IBER CON FI GU RATI ON O THER C ONFIGURAT ION M ETHODS Only configuration changes made using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager can affect the PacketWave System’s configuration file on the TFTP server. A limited set of configuration changes can be made in real time via the Web and SNMP interfaces. But such changes are not recorded in, and cannot be saved to, the configuration files on the TFTP server. When the configured equipment (Base Station Unit or subscriber Indoor Unit) is rebooted, it will revert to the parameters in the stored configuration file, and all changes made via the Web interface or SNMP will be lost. Therefore, configuration changes via the Web Interface or SNMP are recommended only for testing and troubleshooting purposes. Should a configuration change need to be made permanent, you must use the WaveCenter Configuration Manager to update the relevant configuration file on the TFTP server. NOTE: If a configuration change is made to operating parameters using the Web or SNMP interface, and then duplicated using the CM and saved to the TFTP server, the change will essentially survive a reboot. This is a way to make permanent configuration changes without immediately rebooting the system. 070-20000340-01 Rev A 6–39 C HA PTER 6.

NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP Figure 7-1 PacketWave System Servers Required and Recommended Servers Make sure that the Base Station Unit can access the following servers: • DHCP Server — The server from which the Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units obtain: - IP addresses - Subnet masks - Default gateways - TFTP server IP address - Other server IP addresses - BSU and SU configuration file names NOTE: If the DHCP and the BSU are not on the same subnet, the BSU’s subnet must include a DHCP relay agent to pass the BSU’s DHCP requests to the proper DHCP server. Also, subscriber Indoor Units can collectively be assigned a different DHCP server than the one used by the BSU. 070-20000340-01 Rev A 7–2 CHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP • TFTP Server — The server from which the Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units download configuration files. • SNTP Server — A Simple Network Time Protocol server is recommended for synchronizing the PacketWave Base Station Unit’s date and time with other systems on the network. (If there is no SNTP server, the Base Station Unit’s date and time must be set via the Web interface.) NOTE: Subscriber Indoor Units obtain the date and time from the BSU. Whenever the BSU’s date/time is changed, it downloads the new date/time to all subscriber Indoor Units. • DNS Server — Access to a DNS server is necessary for the resolution of Internet domain names. Optional Servers Depending on the features and functions to be implemented, additional servers may be required. These servers can be identified in the DHCP server configuration or in the BSU configuration. NOTE: If different servers of a particular type are identified, the server identified in the DHCP configuration will prevail. • SMTP Server — A Simple Mail Transfer Protocol server is required for the emailing of event alerts. (Alternatively, this server can be identified in the BSU configuration.) • Syslog Server — A syslog server may be specified for logging of event messages from the Base Station Units. (Alternatively, this server can be identified in the BSU configuration.) • DHCP Server for CPE — A different DHCP server than the one used for the BSU can be specified for Subscriber Indoor Units. • SNMP Managers — All Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units include SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agents which can be accessed by an SNMP manager for monitoring and limited configuration. The SMTP, Syslog, and CPE DHCP servers can be identified via the WaveCenter Configuration Manager’s BSU — MAIN — IP Servers screen. (The SMTP and Syslog servers can also be specified in the DHCP server’s configuration file.) The SNMP managers are identified via the BSU — SNMP and CPE — SNMP screen 070-20000340-01 Rev A 7–3 CHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP Preparing the TFTP Server The PacketWave System uses the TFTP server for storing files and downloading them to Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units on request. Any third-party or public domain TFTP server may be used. Ensure that configuration files for all Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units are stored in the default directory (typically \tftpboot) of the TFTP server, and that the TFTP server is running. Configuring the DHCP Server A variety of DHCP servers are available. Their configurations follow the same general principles, but vary in implementation, terminology, and user interfaces. DHCP configuration should be performed by personnel knowledgeable about both DHCP in general and the particular DHCP server to be used. Whichever DHCP server is employed, it should be configured to include the parameters identified in Table 7-A. CAUTION: Take special care to ensure that the BSU and subscriber configuration file names entered in the DHCP configuration are exactly the same as the files created using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager and stored on the TFTP server. A newly-installed unit will not be able to operate properly if it cannot locate and download its configuration file. Table 7-A DHCP Configuration Requirements Servers Required: TFTP Recommended: SNTP, DNS Optional: SNMP, SMTP, POP3 Subnets (Scopes) Subnets / Subnet Masks Routers / Gateways Each Base Station Unit Hardware Ethernet / MAC address Fixed IP address for backhaul interface configuration file name Each Subscriber Indoor Unit Hardware Ethernet / MAC address Fixed IP address for wireless interface configuration file name Subscriber Hosts IP addresses if the subscriber Indoor Unit functions as a bridge DNS server if the subscriber Indoor Unit functions as a NAT router 070-20000340-01 Rev A 7–4 CHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP SYSTEM START-UP Once all of the configuration files have been created, start the PacketWave System by performing the following steps: 1. Verify that all of the configuration files have been saved in the default directory on the TFTP server. 2. Verify that the TFTP server is running and accessible. 3. Verify that the DHCP server has been configured for network addresses and for all BSUs and subscribers. 4. Verify that the DHCP server is running and accessible. 5. Boot the Base Station Unit. It will download its configuration, obtain its IP address, and initialize automatically. 6. When the Base Station Unit has finished initializing, boot the subscriber Indoor Units. 7. Initialize each subscriber Indoor Unit using the CPE Installation Tool, as described in the PacketWave 100 Series Subscriber Equipment Installation and Operation manual. When a subscriber Indoor Unit has been initialized, it will download its configuration, obtain IP addresses, and join the network. ADDING BASE STATION UNITS AND/OR SUBSCRIBERS To add one or more Base Station Units and/or subscribers to an existing cell: 1. Launch the WaveCenter Configuration Manager. 2. Use the Configuration Manager to create configuration files for the new device(s) as described in Chapter 6. 3. Save or copy the configuration file(s) to the default directory of the TFTP server. 4. Add the required information about the device(s) in the DHCP server’s configuration file. 5. Boot the new devices. 070-20000340-01 Rev A 7–5 CHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP OTHER CONFIGURATION METHODS Only configuration changes made using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager affect the PacketWave System’s configuration data base. A limited set of configuration changes can be made in real time via the Web and SNMP interfaces, but such changes are not permanently stored. When the configured equipment (Base Station Unit or subscriber Indoor Unit) is rebooted, it will revert to the stored configuration, and all changes made via the Web interface or SNMP will be lost. Therefore, configuration changes via the Web Interface or SNMP are recommended only for testing and troubleshooting purposes. Should a permanent configuration change need to be made, you must use the WaveCenter Configuration Manager to update the relevant configuration files on the TFTP server. 070-20000340-01 Rev A 7–6 8 M ANAGEMENT I NTERFACES The PacketWave system supports real-time monitoring and limited “on-the-fly” configuration changes via a Web-browser-accessed Graphical User Interface (GUI) and SNMP. There is also a simple command line interface (CLI) for basic troubleshooting and debugging. W EB I NTERFACE (GUI) Each Base Station Unit and Subscriber Unit includes a Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) which runs on a standard Web browser (Netscape 4.74 or higher, or Internet Explorer 5.0). Functions of the Web GUI include: • Viewing network topology. • Monitoring status and performance. • Reviewing configuration. • Making basic configuration changes. • Resetting Base Station Units, BSU wireless interfaces (WSSs), and subscriber Indoor Units. 070-20000340-01 Rev A 8–1 C HA PTER 8. M AN AGEMENT I NTERF ACES Accessing the Web Interface To access the graphical user interface: 1. Establish a connection and open your Web browser. 2. Enter the URL, http:// /bsc.htm. 3. Respond to the user name prompt with Aperto and to the password prompt with Aperto. NOTE: The user name and password are case-sensitive, so be sure to capitalize the A in Aperto. 4. If the browser prompts that it needs to load a plug-in, allow it to do so. 5. Wait for the Web interface home page to open, as shown in Figure8-1. The Web GUI pages share the basic elements identified in Figure 8-1. Using the Base Station Unit’s Web GUI When you open the BSU’s Web GUI, you are at the BSU Home Page shown in Figure8-1 . A main menu and submenus allow you to navigate easily among the various BSU pages. Network Views From the BSU Home Page, you can view the BSU and its wireless interfaces. Hyperlinks allow you to navigate through the BSU connections as indicated in Figure8-1 through Figure8-3 . The first time you select the Cell View page (Figure8-3), your browser may prompt that it wants to download Java applets. Click on the OK button to allow the download. The applets will then be cached in the browser, so downloading will not be required in the future. The connectivity views provide a quick way to identify the configured Base Station Units, sectors (WSS), and subscribers, and to check their status. The arrows pointing to the subscriber Indoor Units in Figure8-1 and Figure8-2 indicate wireless channel status: green if good or red if down. Color-coding of the cell view, shown in Figure8-3, is indicated by the legend on the cell view page.

M AN AGEMENT I NTERF ACES SNMP Each subscriber Indoor Unit includes an SNMP agent. Each Base Station Unit includes an SNMP agent plus a proxy agent for the subscriber Indoor Units. The agents support the following MIBs: • SNMP MIB (RFC 1157) • MIB II (RFC 1213) • Aperto private MIB • Additional MIBs, as appropriate, for plug-in backhaul modules. The complete MIBs are provided on the PacketWave CD-ROM, and are available on the Aperto Web site, www.apertonet.com. The SNMP agents support trap reporting. Trap-reporting parameters can be specified via the Configuration Manager and the Web GUI as well as via SNMP. NOTE: SNMP parameters are read-only in R1P1. SYSLOG The Base Station Unit and subscriber Indoor Unit supports logging of event messages to a designated server according to the Syslog protocol. The Syslog server may be identified in the DHCP configuration or the BSU and SU configuration files. COMMAND L INE INTERFACE (CLI) Each Base Station Unit and subscriber Indoor Unit includes a simple command line interface (CLI) accessible via telnet and, for the BSU, directly via the front panel. To use the CLI: 1. Establish a connection in one of the following ways. • Telnet to the Base Station Unit’s or subscriber Indoor Unit’s IP address. Enter the correct user name (Aperto) and password (Aperto) as prompted. • Connect a computer directly to the BSU’s RS-232 port, and open a terminal emulator configured for 38.4K baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. Press Return until prompted for Login. Enter the correct user name (Aperto) and password (Aperto). 070-20000340-01 Rev A 8–25 C HA PTER 8.
