General Cautions and Warnings
Observe the following when installing or operating any PacketWave System components.
Carefully follow all local building and electrical codes, especially the latest revision of
the National Electrical Code (NEC) and standard safety procedures for installing 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 performed 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 the Outdoor Unit. Contact with any of these objects
could cause injury or death. Do not install the Outdoor Unit near power lines.
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 PacketWave 200 Series Interface Box, use an outlet that contains surge protection and ground fault protection, or use a surge protection device. This will protect
the PacketWave 200 Series equipment connected to it from damage resulting from AC
current surges, lightning, etc. For complete protection, all connections to the Interface
Box (i.e., from radio/antenna and PC/hub) should be connected to a surge protection
device. To ensure the best signal, use surge protectors designed for the specific
application.
Because Aperto Networks cannot be responsible for improper installation or use of its
equipment, failure to follow these and other published cautions and warnings may void
your equipment warranty.

QuickStart Guide
This chapter outlines the basic procedure for installing PacketWave 200 Series Subscriber
Equipment and putting it into operation. It identifies the minimal requirements for getting
the equipment up and running, and assumes that configuration using DHCP and
WaveCenter ™ Configuration Manager has been performed as described in the
PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit manual.
WARNING:
Outdoor installation procedures should be performed by qualified professionals following all safety and other requirements and acting in
accordance with standard practices and procedures. Failure to meet
safety requirements and/or non-standard practices and procedures
could result in personal injury and/or damage to equipment.
Step 1. Prepare for Installation
A. Before visiting the subscriber’s site:
10004880 Rev. D1
i.
Make sure that the necessary system configuration has taken place (as
described in the PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit manual).
ii.
Verify that the Subscriber Unit configuration file has been created using Configuration Manager and either saved on the BSU’s TFTP server, or (for local configuration mode) saved on a disk and provide to the installer.
iii.
Verify that the DHCP server has been configured with the Subscriber Equipment’s IP and MAC addresses and its configuration file name. Make a note of
the IP address for use during installation.
iv.
Verify that the DHCP and TFTP servers have the appropriate route to the
Subscriber Unit installed.
v.
To perform PC-less installation using the auto-alignment feature, use the Aperto
Installation Manager (AIM) utility in Provision mode to pre-configure the Subscriber Unit. For local configuration mode (see step ii above), click on Import
CM database and specify the configuration file location and name.
1–1
Chapter 1. QuickStart Guide
B. At the subscriber’s site:
i.
Identify the location for the Interface Box, close to an AC power source.
ii.
Identify an appropriate location for mounting the Outdoor Unit (ODU). In most
cases, the unit should be pointed at the base station with the least possible
obstruction.
iii.
Determine the cable path between the Interface Box and the Outdoor Unit. Maximum cable length is 50 m (165 ft) or 100 m (330 ft), depending on cable type
(see Table 3-A).
Step 2. Install the Interface Box
A. Run the Ethernet cable from the location for the ODU to the location for the Interface
Box. Leave plenty of slack. Place the protective rubber boot at the outdoor end. Terminate both ends with shielded RJ-45 connectors.
It is highly recommended that the cable is verified using a cable tester before connection and power-up.
B. Plug the power supply attached to the Interface Box into an AC power outlet.
C. Connect the cable from the ODU into the RJ-45 jack labeled ODU.
ODU
Step 3. Install the Outdoor Unit (ODU)
A. If a mounting pole or other support is to be employed, install it in the chosen location,
following standard procedures and local building codes. The Outdoor Unit’s standard
mounting bracket accommodates pole diameters of 1.5 or 2 inches (3.8 or 5.1 cm).
B. Mount the Outdoor Unit to the pole or other support or to the building.
WARNING:
Lightning protection is recommended for subscriber equipment. Instructions and an example are contained in the document titled Surge Protection for PacketWave Products, included on the CD that accompanies the
equipment. (If the CD or document were not provided, contact Aperto Customer Service.) Lightning damage is not covered by the product warranty.
C. Connect the cable from the Interface Box into the RJ-45 jack on the ODU. (See
Appendix E for cable details.) Make sure the boot is properly seated in the mating
flange cutout. The boot should be flush with the radio housing. Secure the boot to
the radio housing with the screws provided. Secure the exit point of the cable from
the boot with a cable tie.
WARNING:
10004880 Rev. D1
There is DC power on the Interface Box’s ODU port. Connecting this port
to a PC or switch will cause permanent damage to the device.
1–2
Chapter 1. QuickStart Guide
Step 4. Align the Antenna
A. Verify that the Ethernet cable from the Interface Box to the Outdoor Unit is properly
connected.
B. If the PacketWave 200 has been pre-provisioned as described in Step 1, the Outdoor
Unit will begin beeping, indicating that it is in auto-alignment mode. (If beeping does
not occur, the PacketWave 200 has not been pre-provisioned, and you will need to
use the AIM to align the antenna as described in Chapter 5.)
C. Initially, the audio signal will alternate between a long beep and a long silence. The
beep is an audio indication of the strength of the signal being received from the base
station. As signal reception gets stronger, the beeps increase in pitch and frequency,
becoming a continuous tone when the signal is optimal.
D. Adjust the position of the ODU for the highest pitch and frequency of the beeping,
ideally finding a position which results in a continuous tone. Secure the ODU in that
position.
E.
When the ODU receives a continuously strong signal for one minute (specifically,
when the signal-to-noise ratio is higher than 16 dB and the signal strength is greater
than -88 dB without varying by more than 2 dB for one minute), the PacketWave 200
will become operational with an audio tone similar to a telephone ringing.
F.
If such a signal is not obtained, auto-alignment mode will last until power is removed,
and the PacketWave 200 will not become operational. Antenna alignment will have
to be performed using the Aperto Installation Manager as described in Chapter 4.
Step 5. Configure Subscriber Hosts
A. Connect the subscriber’s hub/switch or computer to the RJ-45 jack labeled LAN on the
Interface Box.
- Use a straight Ethernet cable for connection to a hub/switch or a crossover
Ethernet cable for connection directly to a computer.
B. The Subscriber Unit has a built-in DHCP server when it is in NAT or router mode
(PacketWave 120 and 130). The DHCP server is enabled by default and can support a
maximum of 100 users on the subscriber’s LAN. If the DHCP server will be used, configure this feature using the Configuration Manager, and configure the host’s TCP/IP
to obtain its IP address using DHCP.
C. Alternatively, the host may be statically configured with an IP address, default gateway, and DNS server. If the Subscriber Unit is in bridge mode, the default gateway
could be the IP address of the Base Station’s Wireless Subsystem (WSS) that the Subscriber Unit connects to. For a Subscriber Unit in NAT or router mode, the default gateway for the subscriber’s hosts is the Subscriber Unit’s LAN IP address.

Overview
As part of Aperto Networks' PacketWave Broadband Multiservice Wireless Access System,
PacketWave 200 Series Subscriber Units delivers high-speed, always-on Internet access to
small and medium-sized businesses, small offices/home offices (SOHO), and residences.
Models and Functionality
There are three models in the PacketWave 200 Series:
• The PacketWave 210 operates in bridging mode, supporting up to 5 hosts and 4
service flows. It is ideal for residential subscribers.
• The PacketWave 220 operates in bridging and NAT modes, supporting up to 20 hosts
and 4 service flows. It is ideal for small office/home office (SOHO) subscribers.
• The PacketWave 230 operates in bridging, NAT, and IP routing modes, supporting
up to 254 hosts and 16 service flows. It is ideal for small and medium enterprises.
Figure 2-1 graphically illustrates the applications of the three PacketWave 200 models.
VLAN and PPPoE/PPP
All PacketWave 200 models support VLAN mode, essentially a variation of bridging mode.
In bridging mode, VLAN-tagged frames are transmitted and received transparently ( VLAN
pass-through). In VLAN mode, the PacketWave 200 functions as a bridge, but with the
ability to tag untagged frames from the Ethernet port with VLAN ID and user priority and
to strip tags from VLAN-tagged frames received at the wireless interface.
In NAT mode, the PacketWave 220 and 230 can be configured to support PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). These PacketWave models include a built-in PPPoE client, eliminating the
need for each host to have a PPPoE client and to originate connections by logging in.
For more about VLAN and PPPoE, see the PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit Manual.

Subscriber Equipment
PacketWave 200 Series subscriber equipment consists of a main Outdoor Unit (ODU) and
a small indoor Interface Box, as shown in Figure 2-2.
Outdoor Unit

Figure 2-2
PacketWave 200 Series Subscriber Equipment
Outdoor Unit
The outdoor portion of the subscriber equipment consists of a single unit, approximately
9 inches square, containing the radio, antenna, and bridge/router. Different versions support various frequency bands:
• 2.5 GHz MMDS
• 3.5 GHz FWA
• 5.3 GHz
• 5.8 GHz ISM
The ODU must match the frequency band employed at the base station.
ODUs mount easily on a home or office roof, under the eave, or even in a properly-situated
window. Depending on distance, a line-of-sight path may not be required for establishment of a wireless link between the subscriber and the base station. PacketWave’s
OptimaLink technology minimizes the effects of obstructions in the path between the subscriber’s antenna and the base station antenna.
10004880 Rev. D1
2–3
Chapter 2. Overview
The ODU antennas are directional, with a beam width of 17° to 20° horizontally and vertically depending on frequency. The width of this beam, combined with the width of the
base station antenna beam (90° or 60°), means that only rough alignment of the antenna
is needed for establishing a wireless link, though accurate alignment is important for
maximum signal quality.
Automatic Frequency Selection
The PacketWave 200 Series supports Automatic Frequency Selection (AFS), which helps
to ensure optimal performance in less-than-optimal conditions. A total of up to 20 frequencies within the unit’s frequency band can be selected. With AFS, when interference
degrades performance on the primary frequency, the BSU will automatically shift the link
to a frequency providing satisfactory performance using QPSK.
Interface Box
The Interface Box is a small, free-standing unit which can be placed virtually anywhere
within the subscriber’s premises, subject to the following basic requirements:
• The unit must have access to AC power.
• The cable run to the Outdoor Unit can be up to 100 m (330 ft) with proper cable.
See Appendix E for cable details.
The Interface Box has two RJ-45 connectors for connecting to the Outdoor Unit (ODU) and
the hub, switch, or PC on subscriber’s LAN.
NOTE: These connectors are extensions of the Ethernet port on the ODU. The
Interface Box does not regenerate Ethernet signals as an Ethernet hub does. In
addition, the ODU port on the Interface Box provides power to the ODU via the
Ethernet cable connecting the units.
WARNING:
There is DC power on the Interface Box’s ODU port. Connecting this port
to a PC or switch will cause permanent damage to the device.
The Interface Box comes with an external power supply and power cord that plugs into a
standard AC wall plug (120 or 220 volts).

Chapter 2. Overview
Management, Configuration, and Diagnostics
The PacketWave 200 includes a number of features which provide management,
configuration, and diagnostic functions. They range from LEDs to a Web-based graphical
user interface, and include:
• LEDs — LED indicators on the Outdoor Unit and Interface Box show status of the
LAN and wireless interfaces as well as power to the unit.
• Audio Auto-Alignment - Simplifies antenna.
• Installation Manager — This utility initializes newly-installed subscriber equipment and allows antenna alignment for optimal wireless communication. Use of
the Installation Manager is described in Chapter 5.
• Web GUI — Each PacketWave 200 includes a graphical user interface (GUI) which
can be accessed via a standard Web browser, either directly or through the Base
Station Unit’s Web GUI. Use of the Web GUI for configuration, status, and performance monitoring is described in Chapter 6.
• SNMP Agent — Each PacketWave 200 includes an SNMP agent which can be
accessed via a standard SNMP manager, either directly or through the Base Station
Unit’s proxy agent.
• Diagnostic Manager — This utility provides diagnostic testing of the subscriber
equipment. Use of the Diagnostic Manager is described in Appendix C.
• Command Line Interface — For basic diagnostics, a limited command line interface
(CLI) to the PacketWave 200 can be accessed via telnet. Use of the CLI is described
in Appendix D.
SU Configuration
SU configuration can be done in server mode or in local mode:
• In local mode, the SU’s configuration is performed using the Aperto Installation
Manager (AIM). No configuration file is downloaded from the BSU’s TFTP server.
• In server mode, subscriber equipment is provisioned using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager, as described in the PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit Installation, Configuration, and Operation manual. On boot-up, after getting address and
file information from its assigned DHCP server, the PacketWave 200 downloads its
configuration file from the base station’s TFTP server.
Some configuration of the PacketWave 200 can be performed via the Web GUI and SNMP.
If desired, these configuration changes can be made permanent by uploading them to the
SU configuration file on the TFTP server. (If configuration changes are made via the Web
GUI or SNMP but not uploaded, they will be lost when the PacketWave 200 is reset or repowered.) Uploading configuration changes made via the Web GUI or SNMP is a convenient way to modify the configuration file of an in-service PacketWave 200.
Configuration uploads from the Web GUI and SNMP require that the TFTP server be
configured to accept uploads.

SNMP
Each PacketWave 200 includes an SNMP agent supporting the following MIBs:
• SNMP MIB (RFC 1157)
• MIB II (RFC 1213)
• Aperto private MIB
The complete MIBs are provided on the PacketWave CD, and are available on the Aperto
Web site, www.apertonet.com.
SNMP can be used to read configuration, status, and performance data from Subscriber
Units. In addition, SNMP can be used to change some configuration parameters (those
which can be changed via the Web GUI), 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 and the Web GUI as well as via SNMP.
Event Reporting
The PacketWave 200 offers several means of reporting subscriber equipment events:
• E-mail messages — The PacketWave 200 can be configured (via the Configuration
Manager, the Web GUI, or SNMP) to report events via e-mail to specified addresses.
• SNMP traps — The PacketWave 200 SNMP agent supports trap reporting. Trapreporting parameters can be specified via the WaveCenter Configuration Manager,
the Web GUI, or SNMP.
• Syslog — The PacketWave 200 supports logging of event messages to a designated server according to the Syslog protocol. If Syslog is employed, the Syslog
server must be identified in the Subscriber Unit configuration file created using the
WaveCenter Configuration Manager.
Use of Syslog is strongly recommended as a means of providing a record of
system events for performance management and troubleshooting.
• Event log — A historical event log can be displayed on request via the Web GUI.
For information about specific PacketWave 200 events which can be reported, see
Appendix B.

Site Planning
There are three basic site-planning issues which must be decided before you begin installation:
• Location of the Interface Box.
• Location and mounting method of the Outdoor Unit.
• Cable path between the Interface Box and the Outdoor Unit.
Location of the Interface Box
Typically, the Interface Box is located near the subscribers hub or computer. However, the
Ethernet cable to the local computer or hub can be up to 100 m (330 ft) in length.
Location of the Outdoor Unit (ODU)
For optimal wireless channel performance, it is advantageous to locate the PacketWave
200 Outdoor Unit where it has the least-obstructed path to the base station antenna. If a
line-of-site path is available, locate the Outdoor Unit where the path is least likely to be
affected by such obstructions as blowing branches, seasonally changing foliage, etc. If a
clear line-of-site path is not available, choose a path that minimizes obstructions.
Fine-tuning of the antenna alignment is performed using the Aperto Installation Manager utility, as described in Chapter 4 of this manual.
Other factors to consider when choosing a location for the Outdoor Unit include:
• Distance to the Interface Box — Locate the Outdoor Unit so that cables to the Interface Box will be within the maximum cable length limit as described in Table 3-A.
• Cable routing — Consider how cables from the Outdoor Unit will enter the building.
10004880 Rev. D1
3–1
Chapter 3. Site Planning
• Accessibility — If possible, choose a location that is relatively accessible, which
will simplify installation and any adjustment or repair in the future.
• Mounting method — The Outdoor Unit’s standard mounting bracket supports
mounting on a pole that is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) or 2 inches (5.1 cm) in diameter. For
other mounting options (under an eave or on a chimney, for example), mounting
hardware may be adapted or replaced as necessary. Any alternate mounting
method should allow adequate adjusting of the antenna direction, both horizontally and vertically.
Cables and Cable Path
For PacketWave 200 installation, you will need the cables indicated in Table 3-A. See
Appendix for additional details about the cable from the Interface Box to the ODU.

ucts
Choose the path along which the cable will run between the Interface Box and the Outdoor Unit. Carefully consider both the outdoor and indoor portions of the cable run.
Decide how the cable run will be secured, how it will enter the building, and whether it
will include wall jacks. Consider all local building codes and standard construction practices when planning the cable path.
Subscriber LAN/Computer
If the PacketWave 200 is functioning in NAT mode, addresses on the local subnet (i.e.,
LAN) will not be visible beyond the subscriber’s subnet. The PacketWave 200 can become
a DHCP server for hosts on the subscriber’s subnet. In addition, in the default setting, the
PacketWave 200’s DHCP server will use the DNS server address supplied by the system’s
DHCP server to resolve network addresses.
10004880 Rev. D1

Subscriber Equipment Installation
Installing the PacketWave 200 Series Subscriber Equipment consists of the following
steps:
1.
Determining the locations for the Interface Box and Outdoor Unit (ODU).
2.
Mounting and grounding the ODU.
3.
Installing the Ethernet cable between the Interface Box and ODU.
4.
Optimizing the direction of the antenna using the audio auto-alignment mode.
5.
Connecting the Interface Box to the subscriber’s computer or LAN, and to AC power.
6.
Configuring the subscriber’s PC or LAN.
7.
If the audio auto-alignment mode was not used or was not successful, using the
Aperto Installation Manager utility to optimize the direction of the antenna.

Installation Requirements
You will need the following tools and supplies when installing the PacketWave 200:
• Drill (for cable entry through walls, etc.)
• Phillips screwdriver
• Wrench (7/16 inch)
• Cabling tools
• Cable tester (capable of testing 10Base-T and EIA/TIA 568B)
• Cable ties, staples, or clamps for dressing cables
• Silicone sealant
You will also need the following cables and connectors:
• Shielded Cat 5 or Cat 5E cable (outdoor rated), long enough to run between the
Interface Box and the Outdoor Unit, with rubber connector boot and two shielded
RJ45 male connectors. See Appendix for cable details.
• Ethernet cable with RJ45 male connectors (straight-through for connection to hub,
or crossover for connection to computer).
You may also need a PC (laptop highly recommended) with the Aperto Installation
Manager utility installed. The Installation Manager can be used for configuration and to
fine-tune the alignment of the antenna (Outdoor Unit) for optimal communication with the
base station. If the PacketWave 200 is pre-provisioned, however, the audio auto-alignment mode can be used for antenna alignment, and a PC connection will not be required
for installation.
Mounting the Outdoor Unit
The Outdoor Unit (ODU) includes a rear-mounted bracket as shown in Figure 4-3. This
standard mounting bracket allows the ODU to be mounted on a pole or antenna mast with
a diameter of 1.5 or 2 inches (3.8 or 5.1 cm). Aperto also offers an alternate bracket, as
illustrated in Figure 4-4.
Other mounting options, such as under an eave or in a window, can also be employed. In
such cases, appropriate mounting hardware must be obtained.
WARNING:
10004880 Rev. D1
Outdoor installation procedures should be performed by qualified professionals following all safety and other requirements and acting in accordance with standard practices and procedures. Failure to meet safety

Positioning the Interface Box
Position the Interface Box in a suitable location (typically an out-of-the-way location near
the subscriber’s computer or LAN hub/switch) within reach of an AC wall socket.
Connecting the ODU to the Interface Box
A single cable connects the Outdoor Unit to the Interface Box, providing an Ethernet link
as well as power from the Interface Box to the ODU. The cable should be shielded outdoor-rated Cat 5 or Cat 5E with an RJ45 male connector (plug) at each end, and can be up
to 50 m (165 ft) in length with Cat 5 cable, or up to 100 m (330 ft) with Cat 5E. See
Appendix for cable details.
NOTE: For outdoor-to-indoor connections, the order of the steps in the installation procedure will vary depending on a number of factors, including site particulars 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, or
to use a pre-assembled cable. Also, cable dressing at various locations may be
best performed at different points in the procedure. Therefore, the procedures
given for these connections should be taken as a list of necessary steps and a
suggested order, and modified as appropriate for your particular circumstances.
1.
Obtain an appropriate length of cable, and run it from the Interface Box to the Outdoor Unit. Include a service/drip loop as appropriate.
2.
Place the supplied rubber boot over the outdoor end of the cable.
3.
Install a shielded RJ45 male connector on each end of the cable, making sure to
connect the cable shield to the RJ45 ground shell.
4.
Plug the cable into the RJ45 socket on the Outdoor Unit as shown in Figure 4-7.
5.
Make sure the boot is properly seated in the mating flange cutout. The boot should

Powering Up the PacketWave 200
WARNING:
For the PacketWave 200, use an outlet that contains surge protection
and ground fault protection, or use a surge protection device. This will
protect the PacketWave 200 and equipment connected to it from damage resulting from AC current surges, lightning, etc. For complete protection, all connections to the PacketWave 200 should be connected to
a surge protection device. To ensure the best signal, use surge protectors designed for the specific application.
To apply power to the PacketWave 200:
1.
Plug the power cord into the connector on the transformer connector to the Interface Box.
2.
Plug the power cord into a surge-protected AC outlet.
The PacketWave 200 does not have an on/off switch; to turn the unit off, disconnect
power at the power outlet.
NOTE: The ODU receives power from the Interface Box via the Ethernet cable.
Aligning the Antenna Using Audio Auto-Alignment Mode
For the audio auto-alignment mode to function, the PacketWave 200 must be preprovisioned prior to installation using the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) in Provision mode, as described in Chapter 5. If preconfiguration has not been performed,
use the AIM for antenna alignment as detailed in Chapter 5
When power is applied to a pre-configured PacketWave 200, the ODU will begin slowly
beeping. The beep is an audio indication of the strength of the signal received from the base
station. As reception gets stronger (within the range from -50 dBm to -100 dBm), beeping
increase in pitch and frequency, becoming a continuous tone when the signal is optimal.
To optimize antenna alignment using the audio auto-alignment mode:
10004880 Rev. D1
1.
Adjust the position of the ODU for the highest pitch and frequency of the beeping,
ideally finding a position which results in a continuous tone. Secure the ODU in
that position.
2.
When the ODU receives a continuously strong signal for one minute (specifically,
when the signal-to-noise ratio is higher than 16 dB and the signal strength is greater
than -88 dB without varying by more than 2 dB for one minute), the PacketWave 200
will become operational with an audio tone similar to a telephone ringing.
3.
If such a signal is not obtained, the audio signal will continue until power is removed,
and the PacketWave 200 will not become operational. Antenna alignment will need
to be performed using the Aperto Installation Manager as described in Chapter 5.
4–11
Chapter 4. Subscriber Equipment Installation
Connection to the PacketWave Network
When the PacketWave 200 goes operational at the end of the antenna alignment, it performs an initialization procedure that brings it up as part of the PacketWave network.
During this procedure:
• The PacketWave 200 requests an IP address from the system’s DHCP server. (The
DHCP request is passed along by the BSU’s DHCP relay agent.)
• The DHCP server responds with the IP address and other information, including the
name of the PacketWave 200’s configuration file. The Base Station Unit and the
PacketWave 200 both learn the new IP address.
• The PacketWave 200 downloads its configuration file (as previously created using
the WaveCenter Configuration Manager) from the TFTP server.
NOTE: For information about the WaveCenter Configuration Manager software,
see the PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit Installation, Configuration, and Operation manual.
• The PacketWave 200 configures itself according to the received configuration file
and activates for subscriber traffic.
• If the PacketWave 200 is functioning in NAT mode, the IP addresses of its attached
computers are obtained from the PacketWave 200’s internal DHCP server.
Setting Up the Local Computer(s)
Whether the subscriber’s computers are connected to a Subscriber Unit functioning in
bridge or NAT mode, each host needs an IP address. The simplest solution is to configure
each computer to obtain its IP address using DHCP. It is also possible to manually enter
the IP addresses. For larger subscriber LANs, a local DHCP server may be preferable.

The PacketWave AIM
This chapter provides instructions for using the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) utility.
The AIM can be used to perform any of the following functions:
• Initially configure the PacketWave 200 and optimize antenna alignment.
• Re-align the antenna of a previously-installed PacketWave 200.
• View wireless link status.
• Perform ping and throughput tests of the wireless link between the PacketWave
200 and the base station.
• Pre-provision (preconfigure) a PacketWave 200 for later installation using the
audio auto-alignment procedure.
Installing the AIM Software on the PC
To load the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) software onto the computer to be used in
the procedures described in this chapter:
10004880 Rev. D1
1.
Obtain the PacketWave CD distributed with your PacketWave Series 200 equipment, which includes the PacketWave Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) software
plus Java software from SUN Microsystems.
2.
If the Java Runtime Environment is not present on the PC, install it from the
PacketWave CD (bsu/Software/Application/Support directory) or the java.sun.com
web site.
3.
Install the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) software by running the file setup.exe
from the /Software/Application/ApertoInstallationManager/ directory of the
PacketWave CD (where  is the operating system being used, such as win32).
At the end of this installation, an AIM icon will be placed on the Windows desktop.
5–1
Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM
Connecting to the PacketWave 200
Connect the computer on which the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) is loaded:
1.
Ensure that the Interface Box is connected to the Outdoor Unit as described under
Connecting the ODU to the Interface Box on page 4-8.
2.
Connect the computer to the Interface Box LAN port using a crossover Ethernet cable.
NOTE: Aperto recommends a laptop PC with 256 MB RAM, 10 GB disk drive, Pentium processor, and Ethernet LAN connection. Systems as small as 128 MB RAM
and a 386 processor have been used, but their performance is not satisfactory.
3.
Ensure that there is only one active Ethernet interface on the computer. (If there
are multiple active Ethernet interfaces, the AIM cannot determine which to use.)
4.
Ensure that the computer has a fixed IP address, and not one set by a DHCP server.
Figure 5-1 gives an example of setting a fixed IP address on Windows 2000; be sure
to select Use the following IP address. It does not matter what IP address, network
mask, and gateway are used.

Downloading the BSU’s IM.DAT File
When BSU configuration is performed using the Configuration Manager (CM), the IM.DAT
database file is generated. This file records basic parameters for all configured BSUs:
• BSU config file name
• BSU name
• Sector name
• Channel width
• Channel frequency
• Broadcast polarization
• BSU diversity
• SR ratio
• Frequency band
The Configuration Manager has an option to copy the IM.DAT file to a diskette.
The Installation Manager allows the IM.DAT file to be downloaded from the computer to
the PacketWave 200. The PacketWave 200 will then load all of its configuration parameters automatically from the IM.DAT file once the SU’s BSU and sector are selected.
To download the IM.DAT file to the PacketWave 200:
6.
Click on the Import CM database button in either the Install Option or Configuration window.
7.
The Import CM Database window shown in Figure 5-4 will appear. Specify the Database file path (the location of the IM.DAT file) and click on Import.
8.
Wait for the indication that the file has been downloaded.

In the Install Option window, select Setup; then click on the Next>> button. The
Configuration Window will be displayed, as shown in Figure 5-5. The Configuration
Window shows the configuration retrieved from the PacketWave 200. The MAC
address should be the same as recorded on the label on the unit.
If the IM.DAT file has been downloaded as described under Downloading the BSU’s
IM.DAT File on page 5-5, the only parameters you need to configure are the BSU’s
WSS number and the BSU ID (name); the others will be determined automatically
using the IM.DAT file. Steps 10 to 13 may be skipped.
10.
In the Configuration Window, select the frequency band of the wireless link from
the drop-down menu. (This selection must match the frequency band of the
PacketWave 200.)

With the General tab selected in the Configuration Window as shown in Figure 5-5,
configure the following parameters as appropriate:
a.
In the Frequency (MHz) field, select the center frequency for the wireless link
from the pull-down menu.
You will need to determine an appropriate center frequency prior to performing this configuration. Aperto has no way of suggesting a default
value appropriate to your area. As soon as you finish configuring the
PacketWave 200, it will begin transmitting on the selected frequency.

c.
In the BSU’s WSS number field, select the wireless port with which the SU
will communicate.
d.
If local IP configuration is chosen, specify the appropriate IP address, Subnet
mask, and Default gateway for the PacketWave 200. Alternatively, uncheck
the Use local configuration box to enable the PacketWave 200 to receive IP
configuration from the BSU using DHCP.
If Automatic Frequency Selection (AFS) is desired, you can click on the Configure
other frequencies button to open the AFS Frequencies window shown in Figure 5-6.
AFS will be enabled if you specify at least one alternate frequency. To make
antenna aligning easier, however, Aperto recommends that you specify additional
frequencies for the PacketWave 200 via the Web GUI after antenna alignment has
been performed. (See Wireless Interface Configuration on page 7-13.)
CAUTION:
Enabling AFS during initial setup using the AIM will mean that the
PacketWave 200 will be likely to switch frequencies every 2 minutes
during antenna alignment, making the procedure very difficult.

13.
In the Configuration Window, click on the Advanced tab to view additional configuration options as shown in Figure 5-7. Configure the following parameters as
appropriate:
a.
In the BSU ID field, enter the name of the PacketWave 200’s Base Station
Unit, as specified in the configuration of the BSU. Remember that the BSU ID
is case-sensitive.
CAUTION:
Since the BSU and SU both use the BSU name and wireless port in the
signal scrambling algorithm, the BSU and SU will not be able to communicate if the BSU name is not entered correctly.
b.
Select the Polarization/Antenna Diversity from the drop-down menu.
NOTE: If you are unsure about what to select, the default (Vertical) will probably
be an appropriate choice.
c.
Use the drop-down menu to select the Channel Width. If you are unsure,
stick with the default selection.
d.
For VLAN applications, specify the Management VLAN ID and Management
VLAN priority. Usually, the Management VLAN ID should be the same for the
SU and BSU. If you leave the value at the default of 0, the SU will automatically learn and use the BSU’s Management VLAN ID.
NOTE: VLAN configuration is performed primarily using the Configuration Manager. Only the VLAN management ID and priority can be set locally using the AIM.

Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM
Aligning the Antenna
When the Alignment Window is displayed (Figure 5-10), the ODU will begin slowly beeping. The beep is an audio indication of the strength of the signal received from the base
station. As reception gets stronger (within the range from -50dBm to -100dBm), beeping
increase in pitch and frequency, becoming a continuous tone when the signal is optimal.
To align the antenna, perform the steps in this section.
18.
For most situations, verify that Quick scan in the Alignment window is checked as
shown in Figure 5-10. This will cause the PacketWave 200 to scan through frequencies and transmission variables such as gain more quickly than it would otherwise
do. Generally, Quick scan should be unchecked only when there are multiple frequencies (AFS) or the SU will be connected to more than one BSU/WSS for backup.
19.
To use the audio signal for antenna alignment:
20.
a.
Adjust the position of the ODU for the highest pitch and frequency of the
beeping, ideally finding a position which results in a continuous tone. Secure
the ODU in that position.
b.
When the ODU receives a continuously strong signal for one minute (specifically, when the signal-to-noise ratio is higher than 16 dB and the signal
strength is greater than -88 dBm without varying by more than 2 dB for one
minute), the PacketWave 200 will become operational with an audio tone
similar to a telephone ringing.
To use the AIM graphs for antenna alignment:
a.
While viewing the graph shown in Figure 5-10, move the antenna to maximize the signal strength as shown on the graph. Values greater than -82 dBm
will work in 16QAM. Values greater than -89 dBm will work in QPSK.
If the signal does not move up from the bottom of the Local Signal Strength
graph (i.e., shows -100 dBm), do the following:
• Verify that the frequency and BSU ID were correctly configured.
• If the link has line-of-sight between the antennas, you should know the
general direction to align the antenna. Start in that direction. Move the
antenna every few seconds until the Local Signal Strength line rises at
lease once. Once it rises, slow the movement of the antenna. If the Signal Indicator line has not risen after 2 to 3 minutes, it is best to click the
Previous and then the Next buttons to reset sequence.
• If the installation is not line-of-sight, either search for a first synchronization (as indicated by the rise of the Signal Indicator line) or just pick
a direction to align the antenna.
10004880 Rev. D1
b.
Once the Local Signal Strength value is maximized, click on the View SNR
button to display the full window as shown in Figure 5-11. SNR (signal-tonoise ratio) values in the red area are not good; values in the yellow area are
acceptable; values in the green area are best. (However, the unit can operate
reliably to an SNR level of 12 dB in QPSK.)

Aperto Installation Manager Troubleshooting
This section offers solutions for problems related to the use of the Aperto Installation
Manager (AIM) utility.
Problems Connecting to the Subscriber Unit
If the Aperto Installation Manager fails to connect with the PacketWave 200 after MAC
address/frequency configuration, a “Host unreachable” message will result. Possible
causes and solutions include the following:
• Cabling problem — Verify that a crossover cable is being used, and that it is
securely connected at both ends.
• No power to the PacketWave 200 — Make sure that the Interface Box is properly
connected to an AC outlet and to the Outdoor Unit (ODU), and that the Interface
Box ODU Port’ LEDs indicate that power is on.
• Incorrect MAC address — Check the MAC address entered against the MAC address
on the PacketWave 200 ODU, and correct if necessary.
• Computer does not have fixed IP addresses — On the computer running the AIM,
ensure that the Ethernet connection is configured with a fixed IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway.
• Multiple Ethernet connections enabled — On the computer running the AIM, verify
that only the Ethernet connection to the PacketWave 200 is enabled. If multiple
Ethernet connections are enabled, the AIM will not be able to determine the correct
connection to use.
• Another application using the port — Close any application that might be using the
computer port employed by the AIM. Use the Windows task manager or LINUX/
UNIX process status as appropriate, and remove the task or reboot the computer
as necessary. (Sometimes Windows will have an extra Java task that is using the
port.)
Problems Communicating with the Base Station Unit
After antenna alignment is finished, the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) establishes
communication with the Base Station Unit, downloads configuration and IP information,
and performs ping and throughput tests with the Base Station Unit. The SU state during
establishment of the communication link and initialization of the SU is indicated by messages in a pop-up window. If the Aperto Installation Manager hangs at a particular state,
that state will help identify the nature of the problem.
If establishment of the communication link and initialization of the SU succeed, but the
ping and throughput tests are not successfully completed, the Aperto Installation Manager indicates installation failure in the Results Window.
10004880 Rev. D1
5–19
Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM
Possible causes and solutions for a failure in communication with the Base Station Unit
include the following:
• Incorrect frequency entered — Verify that the frequency information specified for
the SU matches the BSU. (Typically, the AIM will have hung at the “searching for
sync” or “link establishment” state.)
• Incorrect BSU ID entered — Verify the BSU ID, which is case-sensitive and must
match the ID as entered on the BSU.
• Incorrect WSS port number entered — Verify that the SU is in the correct sector and
that the correct port number is being used.
• Cable problems — Ensure that the Cat 5 cable between the Interface Box and the
Outdoor Unit is properly and securely connected; that the cable meets the requirements given in this manual; and that the cable does not exceed 100 m (330 ft) in
length if Cat 5E, or 50 m (165 ft) if Cat 5. (Typically, the AIM will have hung at the
“searching for sync” or “link establishment” state.)
• Incorrect antenna alignment — Try re-running the AIM and aligning the antenna
again, making sure to secure the Outdoor Unit in the position where the strongest
signal is being received. (Typically, the AIM will have hung at the “searching for
sync” or “link establishment” state.)
• BSU wireless failure — Confirm that the BSU’s wireless interface to the SU is operating correctly. (Typically, the AIM will have hung at the “searching for sync” or
“link establishment” state.)
• DHCP failure — If the Installation Manager hangs in the “DHCP request sent” state,
the communication link has been successfully established but there has been a
problem with DHCP or configuration downloading. Ensure that:
- The DHCP server has a proper entry for the SU’s MAC address.
- The DHCP server has an established route to the SU.
- The TFTP server has a valid configuration file for the SU.
• Noisy or bad communication link — If the throughput test is inordinately slow, the
communication link’s error rate may make it inappropriate to put the SU into service. Experience has shown that the test can take up to ten minutes and still be
completed without errors. If the throughput rate is not appropriate, try aligning the
antenna in its current location or relocating the antenna. If this does not solve the
problem, perhaps the sensitivity of the antenna at the base station should be
adjusted (depending on performance of other SUs in the sector).
• Signal too strong — If the base station antenna is adjusted for communication with
distant SUs, an SU near the base station may not be able to turn its transmit power
low enough to avoid overdriving its signal to the base station. (Typically, the AIM
will have hung at the “searching for sync” or “link establishment” state.) If this
occurs, align the subscriber antenna for the maximum signal; then adjust the
antenna alignment upward (“detuning” the antenna to decrease transmit power),
keeping the signal strength below -40 dBm.

The Web GUI
The PacketWave 200 Series Subscriber Unit includes a Java-based graphical user interface
(GUI) which runs on a standard Web browser (Netscape 4.74 or Internet Explorer 5.0). Functions which can be performed using the Web GUI include:
• Viewing network connectivity.
• Monitoring status and performance.
• Reviewing configuration.
• Making basic configuration changes.
• Uploading configuration changes to the Subscriber Unit’s configuration file on the
TFTP server.
• Resetting the PacketWave 200.
ISP and Subscriber Logon Levels
The Packet SU Web GUI features different logon levels for ISPs and subscribers, each protected by a different user-set password. (There is also a Debug logon level, reserved for
Aperto use.) The ISP logon level provides access to all areas of SU configuration, status
reporting, performance monitoring, and operating commands. The Subscriber logon level
is limited to:
• The site connectivity view of the SU home page.
• Password Configuration page (subscriber password only).
• Configuration pages for DHCP, NAT, and routing functions
• Read-only PPPoE/PPP Configuration page.
• Configuration Upload utility.
• System Status and PPPoE/PPP Status pages.

Submitting and Uploading Changes
Pages on which configuration changes can be entered include a Submit button at the bottom. Any change entered on the page does not take effect until the Submit button is
clicked.
Clicking Submit affects only the operating configuration of the SU. The SU’s configuration
file located on the BSU’s 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 configuration
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 Upload Configuration button on the Device Control Utility page (page 6-30).
Clicking the Upload Configuration button will cause all configuration changes currently in
effect to be written into the SU’s configuration file on the TFTP server.
Cancel and Refresh Buttons
Some pages include Cancel and/or Refresh buttons at the bottom.
• 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 all fields with configuration parameters
downloaded from the TFTP server.
Hyperlinks
Some Web GUI pages include hyperlinks to related pages. For example, the Routing Table
page includes hyperlinks to pages for adding and deleting routes. Hyperlinks are indicated in the method defined in your browser configuration.
In some cases, hyperlinks are implemented using buttons similar to the Submit button.
For example, the Routes Configuration page includes buttons which serve as hyperlinks
to pages for adding and deleting routes.

Configuration Pages
The Web GUI displays SU configuration in numerous individual pages, as indicated by the
Configuration Submenu. In addition, many configuration parameters can be changed via
the Configuration pages.
System Configuration
As shown in Figure 6-4, the system configuration page provides an overview of the
Subscriber Unit’s network and operating parameters. All parameters are read-only except:
• Network Access enables or disables connection to the wireless network.
• Customer Name is a text field identifying the subscriber.
Click on the Submit button to activate any changes made to these two parameters.
A change to the Customer Name field will take effect immediately, without a reboot.
An event will be logged indicating the change (see Figure 6-29). The customer name
will also be changed on the BSU’s SU Inventory page when it is changed at the SU.
This page is available only at the ISP logon level.
Administration Configuration
The Administration Configuration page, shown in Figure 6-5, allows SNMP name, contact,
and location information to be entered for the subscriber site. Any text entry is acceptable,
subject to length limitations for each field.
Click on the Submit button to activate any changes made on this page.
This page is available only at the ISP logon level.
Password Configuration
Passwords for the ISP and Subscriber logon levels are specified on the Password Configuration page, shown in Figure 6-6. Passwords which can be defined depend on the current
logon level; if logon is at the Subscriber level, only the Subscriber password fields will be
displayed. The passwords are used for the Web GUI, SNMP, CLI, and FTP.
The password must be entered exactly the same (including case) in the two password
fields to be accepted. After specifying the desired password, click Submit. The Web GUI
will prompt that password storage is temporary, and that the Upload Configuration function (page 6-30) is required for making the password permanent.

• Frequency Table — Multiple frequencies for the Automatic Frequency Selection
(AFS) feature. To enable up to 19 different alternate frequencies (which may link to
the same or different BSUs and/or wireless ports), enter the desired BSU and Port
IDs and frequencies in the appropriate fields. (The specified frequencies must also
be in the AFS tables for the BSU wireless ports.) AFS will be enabled whenever at
least one frequency is defined in the table.
NOTE: In most cases, no more than 4 or 5 frequencies will be needed. A frequency can be specified more than once to increase its likelihood of being
selected. For optimum performance, AFS frequencies tables for the BSU and SUs
should include the same frequencies in the same order unless the SU includes
frequencies from multiple BSUs and/or wireless ports.
CAUTION:
Configurable parameters on this page can significantly affect the performance of the wireless link. Do not change any of these parameters
unless you have a solid understanding of their purpose and why they
should be changed.

Default Best Effort Configuration
All Subscriber Units have at least one service flow in each direction: a Best Effort service
flow with an ID of 0. Any traffic which does not meet a defined classifier (if there are any)
will be assigned to these service flows. Performance parameters of the default upstream
and downstream service flows are configurable using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager, but the Service Flow ID (0) and class (Best Effort) cannot be altered.
Configuration pages for default Best Effort service flows are shown in Figure 6-12 and
Figure 6-13. All fields are read-only.

Diagnostic Manager
The Diagnostic Manager utility supports a range of diagnostic functions designed to help
isolate Subscriber Unit problems under direct supervision by Aperto personnel. It is not
intended for general use by subscribers or service providers.
Loading the Diagnostic Manager Software onto the PC
To load the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) software onto the PC to be used to run the
Diagnostic Manager:
1.
Obtain the CD distributed with your PacketWave 200 equipment, which includes
the Diagnostic Manager (DM) software plus Java software from SUN Microsystems.
2.
If the Java Runtime Environment is not present on the PC, install it from the
PacketWave distribution CD (bsu/Software/Application/Support directory) or the
java.sun.com web site.
3.
Run the file setup.exe from the /Software/Application/DiagnosticManager/ directory (where  is the operating system being used, such as win32). At the end of
this installation, a Diagnostic Manager icon will be placed on the PC’s desktop.
Running the Diagnostic Manager
To use the Diagnostic Manager:

Command Line Interface (CLI)
Each Subscriber Unit includes a simple command line interface (CLI) accessible via telnet.
The CLI is intended primarily for troubleshooting and debug use under direction of Aperto
personnel.
Accessing and Using the CLI
To access and use the Subscriber Unit’s command line interface:
1.
Telnet to the Subscriber Unit’s IP address.
2.
At the Login: prompt, enter the desired logon level: ISP or Subscriber. (There is
also a Debug logon level, which is reserved for Aperto use.)
NOTE: All CLI entries, including user name 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 passwords are
isp and subscriber (case-sensitive). Passwords can be changed via the
WaveCenter Configuration Manager, the Web GUI, SNMP, and the CLI.
4.
5.
10004880 Rev. D1
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 commands groups.
b.
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).
c.
To display information about the use of a specific commands, including command parameters, enter the command followed by ?.
If there is no activity on a connection for 30 minutes, the CLI will disconnect.
D–1
Appendix D. Command Line Interface (CLI)
6.
When you are finished with the CLI, end the Telnet session by entering the killTelnet command or simply closing the Telnet application.
Commands
Subscriber Unit CLI commands are defined in Table D-A. All commands are case-sensitive.
Error Messages
Error messages which may be returned by the Subscriber Unit CLI include the following:
• Error: Bad Command — command has been entered incorrectly.
• Error: Invalid Parameter — command has been entered incorrectly.
• Not applicable for SU — command applies to BSU CLI only.
• Passwords are not the same — when setting a password, two password entries do
not match.
