Operation of the Web GUI
The BSU and SU Web GUI pages share the basic elements identified in Figure 3-2.
Main Menu and Submenu
The Main Menu lists the various categories of functions available via the Web GUI. To
select an item from the Main Menu, click on it. Orange crescents will bracket the menu
item to show that it has been selected.
The Submenu is context-sensitivity, changing as different Main Menu items are selected.
The Submenu lists the pages available under the selected Main Menu category. Click on
the appropriately-labeled box in the Submenu to display the desired page.
Submitting and Uploading Changes
Pages on which configuration changes can be entered include a Submit button at the bot-
tom. Any change entered on the page does not take effect until the Submit button is
clicked. Clicking Submit affects only the current operation of the BSU or SU. The corre-
sponding configuration file located on the BSU’s permanent memory is not altered; there-
fore, the configuration change will be lost if the BSU or SU is reset or re-powered.
To update the BSU or SU permanent memory with changes made via the Web GUI, use the
Upload Configuration button on the BSU or SU Device Control Utility page. Clicking the
Upload Configuration button will cause all configuration changes currently in effect to be
written into the permanent memory.
Cancel and Refresh Buttons
Some pages include Cancel and/or Refresh buttons at the bottom. These buttons have
the following functions:
•Clicking on the Cancel button cancels any changes made on the page; altered fields
will return to their original contents.
•Clicking on the Refresh button refreshes the window with the most up-to-date infor-
mation.
Hyperlinks
Some Web GUI pages include hyperlinks to related pages. Hyperlinks are indicated in the
method defined in your browser configuration. In some cases, hyperlinks are imple-
mented using buttons similar to the Submit button.

The Web GUI Home Page
When you log on using the BSU’s IP address, you will be at the Home Page of the Base
Station Unit’s Web GUI as shown on Figure 3-3.
The Web GUI will log off after 15 minutes of inactivity. Activity can be either user input or
automatic status updates performed by the Web GUI (as in the connectivity views
described below). To keep the Web GUI from logging off when you will not be using it for
more than 15 minutes, go to a page on which status is automatically updated.
BSU/SU Connectivity
From the BSU Home Page, you can access graphical connectivity view of the BSU and SU
connection. Hyperlinks allow you to navigate through the connectivity view.
The connectivity view provides a quick way to identify the configured BSU/SU, and to
check their status. The arrows pointing to the Subscriber Unit in Figure 3-3 indicate wire-
less channel status: green if good or red the Subscriber Unit is down.

figuration file located on the TFTP server is not altered; therefore, the configuration
change will be lost if the SU is reset or re-powered (after which the SU reverts to the con-
figuration specified in its configuration file).
To update the SU’s configuration file on the TFTP server with changes made via the Web
GUI, use the Configuration Upload button on the Device Control Utility page. Clicking the
Configuration Upload button will cause all configuration changes currently in effect to be
written into the SU’s permanent memory.

Event Reporting
The PacketWave Base Station Units and Subscriber Units can be configured to report
events by several means:
• E-mail event messages.
•SNMP traps.
• Logging to a Syslog server.
• Event log presented on request via the Web GUI.
Reportable events are identified in Table B-A.

Command Line Interface (CLI)
Each Base Station Unit and Subscriber Unit includes a simple command line interface
(CLI) accessible via Telnet
Accessing and Using the CLI
To access and use the Base Station Unit’s and Subscriber Unit’s command line interface:
1. 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 is
isp (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 end
the Telnet session by entering the killTelnet command or simply closing the Telnet
application.

Error Messages
Error messages which may be returned by the Base Station Unit CLI include the following:
•Error: Bad Command — command has been entered incorrectly.
•Error: Invalid Parameter — command has been entered incorrectly.
•Passwords are not the same — when setting a password, two password entries do
not match.

RF Signal Quality
Parameters Description
Burst 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.
