Telnet to the unit’s IP address.2. At the Login: prompt, enter ISP. (There is also a Debug logon level, which is re-served for Aperto use. The Subscriber logon level applies to Subscriber Units only.)NOTE: All CLI entries, including logon level and password, are case-sensitive.3. At the Password: prompt, enter the correct password for the specified logon level.The CLI uses the same passwords as the Web interface. The default password isisp (case-sensitive). Passwords can be changed via the Web GUI.4. When the CLI# prompt appears, you are in the CLI.a. 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-mands groups.b. To display information about the use of a specific commands, including com-mand parameters, enter the command and press space bar followed by ?.5. If there is no activity on a connection for 30 minutes, the CLI will disconnect.6. When you are finished with the CLI, disconnect from the RS-232 Craft Port, or endthe Telnet session by entering the killTelnet command or simply closing the Telnetapplication.

D–1070-20000750-01 Rev AAppendixDRF Signal QualityParameters DescriptionBurst Error Rate Cumulative burst errors (uncorrectable FEC errors + No Unique Word errors) as a percentage of total bursts received. At BSU, a value of 1% in a sector is normal. Higher number may caused by problems such as interference and can degrade performance.Correctable FEC Error Count Number of bursts with errors that are corrected by FEC (Forward Error Correction). This is a normal part of system operation.Uncorrectable FEC Error Count Number of bursts with errors that can not be corrected by FEC, resulting in such bursts being dropped by the system. If this number is high, the link is likely to be impaired by either low SNR (link is too long), multipath, fading, or interference.No Unique Word Count Number of burst with no unique word (an identifier in the preamble of each burst). Mainly caused by external interference and thus it reflects the quality of the channel. At BSU, a high number of No UW Count will degrade performance of the sector. It can also be cuased by packet collision during Conten-tion Request but such occurences are rare. At SU, No UW Count can also caused by the SU beig too close to the BSU, resulting in overdriving of the SU radio. This can be confirmed if Installation Manager reports signal level higher than -40dBm. In such case, the SU antenna should be pointed up toward the sky. Signal level between -45 to -83 dBm is preferred.No Energy Count Caused by a scheduled packet failed to arrive or arrived with power level below threshold.At BSU, this count will keep increasing as part of normal system operation.At SU, a low count number may result from fading and can be ignored if the performance is normal. However, a high count num-ber indicates very low signal level. Installation Manager should be used to point the antenna again to make ensure proper power level.
