Verify that the DHCP and TFTP servers have the appropriate route to theSubscriber Unit installed.v. To perform PC-less installation using the auto-alignment feature, use the ApertoInstallation Manager (AIM) utility in Provision mode to pre-configure the Sub-scriber Unit. For local configuration mode (see step ii above), click on Import CMdatabase and specify the configuration file location and name.
Chapter 1. QuickStart Guide1–210004880 Rev. D1B. 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 mostcases, the unit should be pointed at the base station with the least possibleobstruction.iii. Determine the cable path between the Interface Box and the Outdoor Unit. Max-imum 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 BoxA. Run the Ethernet cable from the location for the ODU to the location for the InterfaceBox. Leave plenty of slack. Place the protective rubber boot at the outdoor end. Ter-minate both ends with shielded RJ-45 connectors. It is highly recommended that the cable is verified using a cable tester before connec-tion 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.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 standardmounting 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. Instruc-tions and an example are contained in the document titled Surge Protec-tion for PacketWave Products, included on the CD that accompanies theequipment. (If the CD or document were not provided, contact Aperto Cus-tomer 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. (SeeAppendix E for cable details.) Make sure the boot is properly seated in the matingflange cutout. The boot should be flush with the radio housing. Secure the boot to theradio housing with the screws provided. Secure the exit point of the cable from theboot with a cable tie.WARNING: There is DC power on the Interface Box’s ODU port. Connecting this port toa PC or switch will cause permanent damage to the device.
1–310004880 Rev. D1Chapter 1. QuickStart GuideStep 4. Align the AntennaA. Verify that the Ethernet cable from the Interface Box to the Outdoor Unit is properlyconnected.B. If the PacketWave 200 has been pre-provisioned as described in Step 1, the OutdoorUnit will begin beeping, indicating that it is in auto-alignment mode. (If beeping doesnot occur, the PacketWave 200 has not been pre-provisioned, and you will need touse 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. Thebeep is an audio indication of the strength of the signal being received from the basestation. 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 thatposition.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 greaterthan -88 dB without varying by more than 2 dB for one minute), the PacketWave 200will 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 tobe performed using the Aperto Installation Manager as described in Chapter 4.Step 5. Configure Subscriber HostsA. Connect the subscriber’s hub/switch or computer to the RJ-45 jack labeled LAN on theInterface Box.-Use a straight Ethernet cable for connection to a hub/switch or a crossoverEthernet 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 amaximum of 100 users on the subscriber’s LAN. If the DHCP server will be used, con-figure this feature using the Configuration Manager, and configure the host’s TCP/IPto obtain its IP address using DHCP. C. Alternatively, the host may be statically configured with an IP address, default gate-way, and DNS server. If the Subscriber Unit is in bridge mode, the default gatewaycould be the IP address of the Base Station’s Wireless Subsystem (WSS) that the Sub-scriber Unit connects to. For a Subscriber Unit in NAT or router mode, the default gate-way for the subscriber’s hosts is the Subscriber Unit’s LAN IP address.NOTE: To fully remove a Subscriber Unit from deployment, the configuration filemust be removed from all TFTP servers. DHCP server must download configura-tion information before it becomes operational. This is performed by TFTP proto-
Chapter 1. QuickStart Guide1–410004880 Rev. D1col, which is routed. Two IP addresses may be given for the TFTP server to providefor redundancy.
2–110004880 Rev. D12OverviewAs part of Aperto Networks' PacketWave Broadband Multiservice Wireless Access System,PacketWave 200 Series Subscriber Units delivers high-speed, always-on Internet access tosmall and medium-sized businesses, small offices/home offices (SOHO), and residences.Models and FunctionalityThere are three models in the PacketWave 200 Series:• The PacketWave 210 operates in bridging mode, supporting up to 5 hosts and 4 ser-vice flows. It is ideal for residential subscribers.• The PacketWave 220 operates in bridging and NAT modes, supporting up to 20 hostsand 4 service flows. It is ideal for small office/home office (SOHO) subscribers.• The PacketWave 230 operates in bridging, NAT, and IP routing modes, supportingup 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/PPPAll PacketWave 200 models support VLAN mode, essentially a variation of bridging mode.In bridging mode, VLAN-tagged frames are transmitted and received transparently ( VLANpass-through). In VLAN mode, the PacketWave 200 functions as a bridge, but with theability to tag untagged frames from the Ethernet port with VLAN ID and user priority andto 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 needfor 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.

2–310004880 Rev. D1Chapter 2. OverviewSubscriber EquipmentPacketWave 200 Series subscriber equipment consists of a main Outdoor Unit (ODU) anda small indoor Interface Box, as shown in Figure 2-2.Figure 2-2 PacketWave 200 Series Subscriber EquipmentOutdoor UnitThe outdoor portion of the subscriber equipment consists of a single unit, approximately9 inches square, containing the radio, antenna, and bridge/router. Different versions sup-port various frequency bands:•2.5 GHz MMDS•3.5 GHz FWA•5.3 GHz•5.8 GHz ISMThe 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-situatedwindow. Depending on distance, a line-of-sight path may not be required for establish-ment of a wireless link between the subscriber and the base station. PacketWave’sOptimaLink technology minimizes the effects of obstructions in the path between the sub-scriber’s antenna and the base station antenna.Outdoor UnitInterface BoxPower Supply(ODU)
Chapter 2. Overview2–410004880 Rev. D1The ODU antennas are directional, with a beam width of 17° to 20° horizontally and verti-cally depending on frequency. The width of this beam, combined with the width of thebase station antenna beam (90° or 60°), means that only rough alignment of the antennais needed for establishing a wireless link, though accurate alignment is important for max-imum signal quality.Automatic Frequency SelectionThe PacketWave 200 Series supports Automatic Frequency Selection (AFS), which helpsto ensure optimal performance in less-than-optimal conditions. A total of up to 20 fre-quencies within the unit’s frequency band can be selected. With AFS, when interferencedegrades performance on the primary frequency, the BSU will automatically shift the linkto a frequency providing satisfactory performance using QPSK.Indoor Unit The Indoor Unit (IU) is a power injection box for the Aperto 200 series. It is an intelligentdevice that insures power will only be injected towards the Outdoor Unit (ODU) and not toa computer or router. The IU is marked LAN and ODU ports to avoid confusion while con-necting the IU, ODU, and computer or router. Also, IU uses standard power-over-Ethernetcabling and therefore is limited to a maximum of 100 meters. The amount of powerrequired for the long-range radios is higher. Further, IU provides 36 V at 1.11 Amps yielding40 Watts of power. Please do not attempt to use third part power injectors with the Pack-etWave 200 series products. If the resistance that shows the unit connected to the ODU port is not correct, no powerwill be put on the CAT-5 cable. When the power is put on the cable, the IU will display agreen LED signifying power is being transmitted. The LED is not a link status light. Anorange LED shows there is an error in the connection. Interface BoxThe Interface Box is a small, free-standing unit which can be placed virtually anywherewithin 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) andthe hub, switch, or PC on subscriber’s LAN.NOTE: These connectors are extensions of the Ethernet port on the ODU. TheInterface Box does not regenerate Ethernet signals as an Ethernet hub does. In
2–510004880 Rev. D1Chapter 2. Overviewaddition, the ODU port on the Interface Box provides power to the ODU via theEthernet cable connecting the units.WARNING: There is DC power on the Interface Box’s ODU port. Connecting this port toa 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 astandard AC wall plug (120 or 220 volts). On PacketWave 100, and 200 series there is no serial interface. If the Ethernet portof the computer or router connected to the 100 or 200 series cannot auto-negotiate(standard practice) and requires static setting, it cannot be performed if the wirelesslink is down. This rarely happens because the 100/200 will set the Ethernet interfaceto theslowest possible value (10 Mbits, half-duplex). This should allow enough flexi-bility and communication to change the static setting.Management, Configuration, and DiagnosticsThe PacketWave 200 includes a number of features which provide management,configuration, and diagnostic functions. They range from LEDs to a Web-based graphicaluser interface, and include:• LEDs — LED indicators on the Outdoor Unit and Interface Box show status of theLAN and wireless interfaces as well as power to the unit.• Audio Auto-Alignment - Simplifies antenna.• Installation Manager — This utility initializes newly-installed subscriber equipmentand allows antenna alignment for optimal wireless communication. Use of theInstallation Manager is described in Chapter 5.• Web GUI — Each PacketWave 200 includes a graphical user interface (GUI) whichcan be accessed via a standard Web browser, either directly or through the BaseStation Unit’s Web GUI. Use of the Web GUI for configuration, status, and perfor-mance monitoring is described in Chapter 6.• SNMP Agent — Each PacketWave 200 includes an SNMP agent which can beaccessed via a standard SNMP manager, either directly or through the Base StationUnit’s proxy agent.• Diagnostic Manager — This utility provides diagnostic testing of the subscriberequipment. 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 describedin Appendix D.
Chapter 2. Overview2–610004880 Rev. D1SU ConfigurationSU configuration can be done in server mode or in local mode:• In local mode, the SU’s configuration is performed using the Aperto InstallationManager (AIM). No configuration file is downloaded from the BSU’s TFTP server.• In server mode, subscriber equipment is provisioned using the WaveCenter Config-uration Manager, as described in the PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit Installa-tion, Configuration, and Operation manual. On boot-up, after getting address andfile information from its assigned DHCP server, the PacketWave 200 downloads itsconfiguration file from the base station’s TFTP server.PacketWave 200 should be appropriately be configured in Server mode. They receive their IP address and configuration information from a DHCP server. DHCP entries should be reserved to the MAC address of the deployed/provisioned Aperto equipment. PacketWave 200 should be configured with infinite leases. This is highly appropriate since you never want to give this IP address to another device in the network. 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 theSU configuration file on the TFTP server. (If configuration changes are made via the WebGUI or SNMP but not uploaded, they will be lost when the PacketWave 200 is reset or re-powered.) Uploading configuration changes made via the Web GUI or SNMP is a conve-nient 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 beconfigured to accept uploads.NOTE: Advanced Installation Manager (AIM) will allow the installer to configurea Subscriber Unit (SU) in local mode by providing appropriate IP addresses and con-figuration parameters. It always uses the default configuration file for the unit.Aperto highly suggests only using server mode for the Subscriber Unit. Built-In Server, Client, Agent, and Router FunctionsServers, agent/client, and router functions are built into PacketWave 200:• DHCP Client — All PacketWave Series 200 models include a Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol (DHCP) client for local address management by the BaseStation Unit’s assigned DHCP server.• DHCP Server — PacketWave 220 and 230 models include a Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol (DHCP) server for local address management.• NAT Server — PacketWave 220 and 230 models include a built-in NAT (NetworkAddress Translation) server.• IP Router — PacketWave 230 models include a built-in IP router.• SNMP Agent — All PacketWave Series 200 models include an SNMP agent for inte-gration of the PacketWave network into an SNMP management system.
2–710004880 Rev. D1Chapter 2. Overview• PPPoE Client — PacketWave 220 and 230 models include a built-in PPPoE (PPP overEthernet) server.PacketWave 200 LEDsThe LEDs on the Outdoor Unit and Interface Box provide operational information asdescribed in Table 2-A.SNMPEach PacketWave 200 includes an SNMP agent supporting the following MIBs:• SNMP MIB (RFC 1157)• MIB II (RFC 1213)• Aperto private MIBThe complete MIBs are provided on the PacketWave CD, and are available on the ApertoWeb site, www.apertonet.com.SNMP can be used to read configuration, status, and performance data from SubscriberUnits. In addition, SNMP can be used to change some configuration parameters (thosewhich can be changed via the Web GUI), and to upload the configuration changes to theTFTP server (if the TFTP server is configured to accept uploads).The SNMP agents support trap reporting. Trap-reporting parameters can be specified viathe Configuration Manager and the Web GUI as well as via SNMP.Table 2-A PacketWave 200 LEDsLED IndicationsOutdoor UnitLeft Wireless Tx: Blinks on Wireless transmit activity.Middle Wireless Rx: Blinks on Wireless receive activity.Right On when Ethernet link is up; Off when it is down.Interface BoxODU Port, left On when the Interface Box is powered on.ODU Port, Right On when power is provided to the Outdoor Unit.

Chapter 2. Overview2–810004880 Rev. D1Event ReportingThe PacketWave 200 offers several means of reporting subscriber equipment events:• E-mail messages — The PacketWave 200 can be configured (via the ConfigurationManager, the Web GUI, or SNMP) to report events via e-mail to specified addresses.• SNMP traps — The PacketWave 200 SNMP agent supports trap reporting. Trap-reporting 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 designatedserver according to the Syslog protocol. If Syslog is employed, the Syslog servermust be identified in the Subscriber Unit configuration file created using theWaveCenter Configuration Manager.Use of Syslog is strongly recommended as a means of providing a record ofsystem 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, seeAppendix B.
3–110004880 Rev. D13Site PlanningThere are three basic site-planning issues which must be decided before you begin instal-lation:• 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 BoxTypically, the Interface Box is located near the subscribers hub or computer. However, theEthernet 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 PacketWave200 Outdoor Unit where it has the least-obstructed path to the base station antenna. If aline-of-site path is available, locate the Outdoor Unit where the path is least likely to beaffected by such obstructions as blowing branches, seasonally changing foliage, etc. If aclear 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 Man-ager 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 Inter-face 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.
Chapter 3. Site Planning3–210004880 Rev. D1• Accessibility — If possible, choose a location that is relatively accessible, which willsimplify installation and any adjustment or repair in the future.• Mounting method — The Outdoor Unit’s standard mounting bracket supportsmounting on a pole that is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) or 2 inches (5.1 cm) in diameter. Forother mounting options (under an eave or on a chimney, for example), mountinghardware may be adapted or replaced as necessary. Any alternate mountingmethod should allow adequate adjusting of the antenna direction, both horizon-tally and vertically.Cables and Cable PathFor PacketWave 200 installation, you will need the cables indicated in Table 3-A. SeeAppendix for additional details about the cable from the Interface Box to the ODU.Specific models of cable are listed in a document titled Cables for PacketWave Prod-ucts, included on the PacketWave CD that accompanies the equipment.Choose the path along which the cable will run between the Interface Box and the OutdoorUnit. Carefully consider both the outdoor and indoor portions of the cable run. Decide howthe cable run will be secured, how it will enter the building, and whether it will includewall jacks. Consider all local building codes and standard construction practices whenplanning the cable path.Subscriber LAN/ComputerIf 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 becomea DHCP server for hosts on the subscriber’s subnet. In addition, in the default setting, thePacketWave 200’s DHCP server will use the DNS server address supplied by the system’sDHCP server to resolve network addresses.

4–310004880 Rev. D1Chapter 4. Subscriber Equipment InstallationInstallation RequirementsYou 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 sealantYou will also need the following cables and connectors:• Shielded Cat 5 or Cat 5E cable (outdoor rated), long enough to run between theInterface Box and the Outdoor Unit, with rubber connector boot and two shieldedRJ45 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 InstallationManager utility installed. The Installation Manager can be used for configuration and tofine-tune the alignment of the antenna (Outdoor Unit) for optimal communication with thebase station. If the PacketWave 200 is pre-provisioned, however, the audio auto-align-ment mode can be used for antenna alignment, and a PC connection will not be requiredfor installation.Mounting the Outdoor UnitThe Outdoor Unit (ODU) includes a rear-mounted bracket as shown in Figure 4-3. Thisstandard mounting bracket allows the ODU to be mounted on a pole or antenna mast witha diameter of 1.5 or 2 inches (3.8 or 5.1 cm). Aperto also offers an alternate bracket, asillustrated in Figure 4-4.Other mounting options, such as under an eave or in a window, can also be employed. Insuch cases, appropriate mounting hardware must be obtained.WARNING: Outdoor installation procedures should be performed by qualified profes-sionals following all safety and other requirements and acting in accor-dance with standard practices and procedures. Failure to meet safetyrequirements and/or non-standard practices and procedures could resultin personal injury and/or damage to equipment.

D1Positioning the Interface BoxPosition the Interface Box in a suitable location (typically an out-of-the-way location nearthe subscriber’s computer or LAN hub/switch) within reach of an AC wall socket.Connecting the ODU to the Interface BoxA single cable connects the Outdoor Unit to the Interface Box, providing an Ethernet linkas 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 50m (165 ft) in length with Cat 5 cable, or up to 100 m (330 ft) with Cat 5E. See Appendix forcable details.NOTE: For outdoor-to-indoor connections, the order of the steps in the installa-tion procedure will vary depending on a number of factors, including site partic-ulars and installers’ preferred practice. For example, in some cases it may be bestto run unterminated cable and then attach connectors; in others it may be moreefficient to attach one or both connectors to the cable before running it, or to usea pre-assembled cable. Also, cable dressing at various locations may be best per-formed at different points in the procedure. Therefore, the procedures given forthese connections should be taken as a list of necessary steps and a suggestedorder, and modified as appropriate for your particular circumstances.1. Obtain an appropriate length of cable, and run it from the Interface Box to the Out-door 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 toconnect 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 shouldbe flush with the radio housing. Secure the boot to the radio housing with thescrews provided. Secure the exit point of the cable from the boot with a cable tie.6. Dress the conductor using a cable tie through the hole illustrated in Figure 4-6,ensuring that the cable does not hang unsupported from the connector.7. Attach the cable to the ODU connector on the Interface Box as shown in Figure 4-8.WARNING: There is DC power on the Interface Box’s ODU port. Connecting this port toa PC or switch will cause permanent damage to the device.8. Seal the entry of the cable to the building as appropriate.

4–1110004880 Rev. D1Chapter 4. Subscriber Equipment InstallationPowering Up the PacketWave 200WARNING: For the PacketWave 200, use an outlet that contains surge protection andground fault protection, or use a surge protection device. This will protectthe PacketWave 200 and equipment connected to it from damage result-ing from AC current surges, lightning, etc. For complete protection, allconnections to the PacketWave 200 should be connected to a surge pro-tection device. To ensure the best signal, use surge protectors designedfor the specific application.To apply power to the PacketWave 200:1. Plug the power cord into the connector on the transformer connector to the Inter-face 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 powerat the power outlet.NOTE: The ODU receives power from the Interface Box via the Ethernet cable.Aligning the Antenna Using Audio Auto-Alignment ModeFor the audio auto-alignment mode to function, the PacketWave 200 must be pre-provisioned prior to installation using the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) in Provi-sion mode, as described in Chapter 5. If preconfiguration has not been performed,use the AIM for antenna alignment as detailed in Chapter 5When power is applied to a pre-configured PacketWave 200, the ODU will begin slowly beep-ing. The beep is an audio indication of the strength of the signal received from the base sta-tion. As reception gets stronger (within the range from -50 dBm to -100 dBm), beepingincrease in pitch and frequency, becoming a continuous tone when the signal is optimal.To optimize antenna alignment using the audio auto-alignment mode: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 inthat 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 greaterthan -88 dB without varying by more than 2 dB for one minute), the PacketWave 200will 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 needto be performed using the Aperto Installation Manager as described in Chapter 5.
Chapter 4. Subscriber Equipment Installation4–1210004880 Rev. D1Connection to the PacketWave NetworkWhen the PacketWave 200 goes operational at the end of the antenna alignment, it per-forms 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. (TheDHCP request is passed along by the BSU’s DHCP relay agent.) • The DHCP server responds with the IP address and other information, including thename of the PacketWave 200’s configuration file. The Base Station Unit and thePacketWave 200 both learn the new IP address.• The PacketWave 200 downloads its configuration file (as previously created usingthe 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 Oper-ation manual.• The PacketWave 200 configures itself according to the received configuration fileand activates for subscriber traffic.• If the PacketWave 200 is functioning in NAT mode, the IP addresses of its attachedcomputers 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 inbridge or NAT mode, each host needs an IP address. The simplest solution is to configureeach computer to obtain its IP address using DHCP. It is also possible to manually enterthe IP addresses. For larger subscriber LANs, a local DHCP server may be preferable.
5–110004880 Rev. D15The PacketWave AIMThis 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 PacketWave200 and the base station.• Pre-provision (preconfigure) a PacketWave 200 for later installation using the audioauto-alignment procedure.Aperto products have adaptive modulation and error correction. The system startswith the highest error correction and the lowest throughput modulation. As data istransferred without error, the system will automatically adjust. It will take about 1 Mbitof data transfer to achieve the maximum throughput. AIM automatically transfers data following antenna alignment and reports the actualthroughput values attained which will be less than actual since the system is adjust-ing for the best throughput values. Installing the AIM Software on the PCTo load the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) software onto the computer to be used inthe procedures described in this chapter:1. Obtain the PacketWave CD distributed with your PacketWave Series 200 equip-ment, which includes the PacketWave Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) softwareplus Java software from SUN Microsystems.
Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM5–210004880 Rev. D12. If the Java Runtime Environment is not present on the PC, install it from thePacketWave CD (bsu/Software/Application/Support directory) or the java.sun.comweb site.3. Install the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) software by running the file setup.exefrom the /Software/Application/ApertoInstallationManager/<OS> directory of thePacketWave CD (where <OS> is the operating system being used, such as win32). Atthe end of this installation, an AIM icon will be placed on the Windows desktop.Connecting to the PacketWave 200Connect 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 underConnecting 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, Pen-tium processor, and Ethernet LAN connection. Systems as small as 128 MB RAMand 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 aremultiple 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 sureto select Use the following IP address. It does not matter what IP address, networkmask, and gateway are used.

Connect a PC with AIM software installed to the PacketWave 200 as described inthe previous sections of this chapter.2. Double-click on the Aperto Installation Manager icon on the PC’s desktop. This willcause the Authentication window to be displayed, as shown in Figure 5-2. Note thebuttons at the bottom of the window.Figure 5-2 AIM Authentication Window3. Enter the AIM password. The default is isp.4. Click on the Next>> button at the bottom of the window. The AIM will begin commu-nications with the PacketWave 200.NOTE: You will get an error message if the AIM cannot establish a connectionto the PacketWave 200. Verify that you are using a crossover cable, that thePacketWave 200 is receiving power, that the computer has just one Ethernetinterface enabled, and that it is properly configured with a fixed IP address. Aswith most windows applications, double-double clicking on buttons which aresingle action, will cause two occurences of the same request. This is true of thenext buttin in AIM. When the next buttin is double-clicked on the screen request-ing the password, two tasks do the password checking. In completing with oneanother, the process does not complete successfully and the error, “too manyerrors” is displayed. Be Patient and single click on the next button. It will take afew seconds to retrieve teh password from the Subscriber init and verify it.
5–510004880 Rev. D1Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM5. The Installation Option Window will be displayed, as shown in Figure 5-3. This win-dow presents five AIM modes:•Setup provides the complete AIM functionality: basic configuration, antennaalignment, and throughput testing. To use this option, proceed to the nextsection, Basic Configuration.•Continue with Setup is used for antenna alignment when basic configurationhas already been completed. (Use this option if antenna alignment was notsuccessfully completed for a preconfigured PacketWave 200.) To use thismode, follow the instructions under Re-aligning the Antenna (Continue withSetup Mode) on page 5-15.•Link Status displays graphs of the status of the wireless link. To use thismode, follow the instructions under Viewing Status of the Wireless Link (LinkStatus Mode) on page 5-16.• Test only provides direct access to the ping and throughput tests. To use thismode, follow the instructions under Running a Non-Destructive Test (TestMode) on page 5-18.• Provision provides access to the basic configuration without proceeding toantenna alignment; it allows pre-provisioning of the unit prior to installation,and enables the audio auto-alignment feature described in Chapter 4. To usethis mode, follow the instructions under Pre-provisioning a PW200 for LaterInstallation (Provision Mode) on page 5-19.Figure 5-3 Install Option Window
Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM5–610004880 Rev. D1Downloading the BSU’s IM.DAT FileWhen BSU configuration is performed using the Configuration Manager (CM), the IM.DATdatabase 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 bandThe 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 tothe PacketWave 200. The PacketWave 200 will then load all of its configuration parame-ters 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 Configurationwindow.7. The Import CM Database window shown in Figure 5-4 will appear. Specify the Data-base file path (the location of the IM.DAT file) and click on Import.8. Wait for the indication that the file has been downloaded..Figure 5-4 Import CM Database Window
5–710004880 Rev. D1Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIMBasic Configuration9. In the Install Option window, select Setup; then click on the Next>> button. TheConfiguration Window will be displayed, as shown in Figure 5-5. The ConfigurationWindow shows the configuration retrieved from the PacketWave 200. The MACaddress 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’sIM.DAT File on page 5-6, the only parameters you need to configure are the BSU’sWSS number and the BSU ID (name); the others will be determined automaticallyusing the IM.DAT file. Steps 10 to 13 may be skipped.10. In the Configuration Window, select the frequency band of the wireless link fromthe drop-down menu. (This selection must match the frequency band of thePacketWave 200.).Figure 5-5 Configuration Window: General11. 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 linkfrom the pull-down menu.You will need to determine an appropriate center frequency prior to per-forming this configuration. Aperto has no way of suggesting a defaultvalue appropriate to your area. As soon as you finish configuring thePacketWave 200, it will begin transmitting on the selected frequency.b. In the Customer name field, enter a name to identify the PacketWave 200.
Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM5–810004880 Rev. D1c. In the BSU’s WSS number field, select the wireless port with which the SUwill communicate.d. If local IP configuration is chosen, specify the appropriate IP address, Subnetmask, and Default gateway for the PacketWave 200. Alternatively, uncheckthe Use local configuration box to enable the PacketWave 200 to receive IPconfiguration from the BSU using DHCP.12. If Automatic Frequency Selection (AFS) is desired, you can click on the Configureother 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 antennaaligning easier, however, Aperto recommends that you specify additional frequen-cies for the PacketWave 200 via the Web GUI after antenna alignment has been per-formed. (See Wireless Interface Configuration on page 7-13.)CAUTION: Enabling AFS during initial setup using the AIM will mean that thePacketWave 200 will be likely to switch frequencies every 2 minutes dur-ing antenna alignment, making the procedure very difficult.Figure 5-6 Configure Other Frequencies Window
5–910004880 Rev. D1Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM13. In the Configuration Window, click on the Advanced tab to view additional config-uration options as shown in Figure 5-7. Configure the following parameters asappropriate:a. In the BSU ID field, enter the name of the PacketWave 200’s Base StationUnit, as specified in the configuration of the BSU. Remember that the BSU IDis case-sensitive.CAUTION: Since the BSU and SU both use the BSU name and wireless port in thesignal scrambling algorithm, the BSU and SU will not be able to commu-nicate 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 probablybe an appropriate choice.c. Use the drop-down menu to select the Channel Width. If you are unsure, stickwith the default selection.d. For VLAN applications, specify the Management VLAN ID and ManagementVLAN priority. Usually, the Management VLAN ID should be the same for theSU and BSU. If you leave the value at the default of 0, the SU will automati-cally learn and use the BSU’s Management VLAN ID.NOTE: VLAN configuration is performed primarily using the Configuration Man-ager. Only the VLAN management ID and priority can be set locally using the AIM.Figure 5-7 Configuration Window: Advanced

If you logged on using the default password, the AIM will prompt for a more securepassword as shown in Figure 5-8.WARNING: Once the new password has been selected, there will be no default pass-word for emergency access. Therefore, be careful not to lose the pass-word.If you are ready to specify the permanent AIM password, enter the new password.Otherwise, enter isp to retain the default password. Then click OK.NOTE: If you retain the default password by entering isp, the Change Passwordwindow will be displayed again the next time the AIM Setup mode is used.Figure 5-8 Change Password Window16. After you click Next>> in the Configuration Window (and specify a new password isnecessary), the AIM will send the configuration choices to the PacketWave 200,then reset the device. The status windows shown in Figure 5-9 will be displayed,the one on the left first followed by the one on the right.17. When the restart is finished, the AIM will go into antenna alignment mode, display-ing the Alignment Window shown in Figure 5-10.AIM will change the password of a Subscriber Unit (SU) at initial setup. This was donefor security reasons. If this was not true and the AIM software was to fall into the wronghands, it might be possible to cause significant problems in the service offering of the
5–1110004880 Rev. D1Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIMSU. For this reason, please be sure to correctly enter the password when AIM requeststhat the password be changed. AIM checks for the default password to determine that a password requires changing.If you wish to continue using the default password, simply re-enter the default pass-word when prompted to make a password entry change. If the password is forgotten or not entered correctly, there is a possibility of using theWEB interface to correct the problem. Please contact Aperto customer support forinstructions on using the debug password to correct the problem. Figure 5-9 Restart Status WindowsFigure 5-10 Alignment Window — Local Signal Strength Graph
Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM5–1210004880 Rev. D1Aligning the AntennaWhen the Alignment Window is displayed (Figure 5-10), the ODU will begin slowly beep-ing. The beep is an audio indication of the strength of the signal received from the basestation. As reception gets stronger (within the range from -50dBm to -100dBm), beepingincrease 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 asshown in Figure 5-10. This will cause the PacketWave 200 to scan through frequen-cies and transmission variables such as gain more quickly than it would otherwisedo. Generally, Quick scan should be unchecked only when there are multiple fre-quencies (AFS) or the SU will be connected to more than one BSU/WSS for backup.19. To use the audio signal for antenna alignment:a. Adjust the position of the ODU for the highest pitch and frequency of thebeeping, ideally finding a position which results in a continuous tone. Securethe ODU in that position.b. When the ODU receives a continuously strong signal for one minute (specifi-cally, when the signal-to-noise ratio is higher than 16 dB and the signalstrength is greater than -88 dBm without varying by more than 2 dB for oneminute), the PacketWave 200 will become operational with an audio tonesimilar to a telephone ringing.20. To use the AIM graphs for antenna alignment:a. While viewing the graph shown in Figure 5-10, move the antenna to maximizethe signal strength as shown on the graph. Values greater than -82 dBm willwork 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 Strengthgraph (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 thegeneral direction to align the antenna. Start in that direction. Move theantenna every few seconds until the Local Signal Strength line rises atlease once. Once it rises, slow the movement of the antenna. If the Sig-nal Indicator line has not risen after 2 to 3 minutes, it is best to click thePrevious and then the Next buttons to reset sequence.• If the installation is not line-of-sight, either search for a first synchroni-zation (as indicated by the rise of the Signal Indicator line) or just picka direction to align the antenna.b. Once the Local Signal Strength value is maximized, click on the View SNRbutton to display the full window as shown in Figure 5-11. SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) values in the red area are not good; values in the yellow area areacceptable; values in the green area are best. (However, the unit can operatereliably to an SNR level of 12 dB in QPSK.)c. Adjust the antenna again until Local Signal Strength and SNR are maximized.
5–1310004880 Rev. D1Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIMFigure 5-11 Alignment Window with SNR GraphNOTE: Quick scan is a mode for frequency scanning in AIM. In quick scan thesignal alignment is rapidly adjusted for minor differences. Quick scan will notchange frequencies even if there are multiple configured frequencies in the AIMAFS table. This may cause a problem where the target frequency is not the appro-priate BSU frequency for the Subscriber Unit (SU) because no signal strength willbe reported. Once the user selects the finish button, the SU will scan all frequen-cies and become operational. If there are multiple frequencies you would likeAIM to select, de-select the quick scan option on AIM. 21. Click on the Finish button in the Alignment window.22. A series of pop-up windows will display, showing the progress of the application.The PacketWave equipment must perform automatic transmission strength andradio gain adjustment, become operational, and perform IP stability testing beforethe application is complete. a. First, parameters are sent to the PacketWave 200; then the unit is reset andthe antenna alignment flag is set. This takes a few minutes of time, duringwhich the window shown in Figure 5-12 will be displayed.
Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM5–1410004880 Rev. D1Figure 5-12 Setting Antenna Flag Windowb. When the PacketWave 200 has reset, the window shown in Figure 5-13 is dis-played. This window shows the current state of the unit, the radio gain, andtransmit attenuation, and is refreshed periodically.Figure 5-13 Device State Windowc. Next, the AIM performs a standard ping test with the BSU, displaying the win-dow shown in Figure 5-14.
5–1510004880 Rev. D1Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIMFigure 5-14 Performing Ping Test WindowNOTE: At the completion of the AIM cycle, a throughput test is performed. It isimportant to note that this value is performed at Best Effort. Therefore the value maybe skewed if other Subscriber Units are currently sending traffic. Also, it is mostlikely that when the throughput test is started, the forward error correction and mod-ulation is at its most robust value. This causes the initial portion of the throughput topossibly be slower at the beginning of the test, once again skewing the throughputspeed. A more accurate value may be obtained by re-running the throughput test. d. After the ping test, the AIM performs a throughput test (an FTP transfer of 1megabyte of data up and down the wireless link), displaying the windowshown in Figure 5-15. Figure 5-15 Performing Throughput Test Windowe. This test may take a few minutes to complete, depending upon the signalcharacteristics. If you are not interested in the throughput test, or if thethroughput test takes more than 10 minutes, click on the Stop button.f. When the throughput test is finished or stopped, the window shown inFigure 5-16 is displayed, showing results of the ping and throughput tests.These results and RF transmission results are recorded in a text file withthe name of the IP address, in the directory in which the AIM applicationis loaded (normally C:\aim). Each time the Setup or Test function suc-cessfully executes, this file is updated.
Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM5–1610004880 Rev. D1.Figure 5-16 Installation Results Window23. It is important to check the RF and IP transmission results to see if you have thebest possible wireless connection. If the results are not acceptable, perform thesteps described under Re-aligning the Antenna (Continue with Setup Mode) torepeat the alignment process:24. If you are ready to close the AIM, click on the Exit button of the Installation Resultswindow. The AIM will prompt for confirmation that you really want to exit.NOTE: Advanced Installation Manager (AIM) performs radio checks following theantenna alignment. This will allow the installer to check radio cables during align-ment testing if no signal or a weak signal is being shown on the alignmentscreen. This may cause confusion in detecting the difference between a radio notproperly connected and no coverage. Click on the finish button from the antennaalignment screen, if in any doubt. The radio will be checked and the user will beinformed about the radio connectivity. Viewing Status of the Wireless Link (Link Status Mode)To view link status:1. Go to the Install Option window (Figure 5-3) in one of two ways:• Perform steps 1 through 5 under Using the Aperto Installation Manager on page5-4.

Select Link Status and click on the Next>> button.3. The Link Status window shown in Figure 5-17 will be displayed, showing local sig-nal strength (as received by the SU) and remote signal strength (as received andreported by the BSU) over time.4. Click on the Next>> button when you are finished viewing the link status. The InstallOptions window (Figure 5-3) will be displayed.Figure 5-17 Link Status Window for PacketWave 200NOTE: In scanning mode of AIM, the Subscriber Unit also adjusts the synchro-nization. The synchronization is necessary to match that of the Base Station. It isnormally carried in the wireless frame. Since it is possible that the SU has not yetfound the appropriate signal as it is scanning, it is possible that the synchroni-zation adjustment may be misaligned. To ensure proper antenna alignment, donot spend more than 10 minutes in the alignment phase of AIM. Use the previousand next buttons to restart the process at least every 10 minutes.

5–1910004880 Rev. D1Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM.Figure 5-19 Test Results WindowPre-provisioning a PW200 for Later Installation (Provision Mode)The Provision mode is typically used to provision a PacketWave 200 in the lab prior toinstallation. This enables the audio auto-alignment feature, described in Chapter 4.NOTE: The Provision mode can also be used to re-enable the audio auto-align-ment feature, should that be desired. After Provision mode, the PacketWave 200is configured to go directly into audio alignment mode at power-up. If the audioauto-alignment feature has not been enabled by using the AIM Provision mode,alignment can be performed only using the AIM.To use the Provision mode:1. Go to the Install Option window (Figure 5-3) in one of two ways:• Perform steps 1 through 5 under Using the Aperto Installation Manager on page5-4.• After completing an AIM mode, click on the Previous button until the InstallOption window is displayed.2. Select Provision and click on the Next>> key. The Configuration Window will be dis-played, as shown in Figure 5-5.3. Configure the PacketWave 200 as described in steps 8 through 14 under Basic Con-figuration on page 5-7.4. After configuration has been completed, the AIM will reset the PacketWave 200,enable audio auto-alignment, and display the Provisioning Results window similarto that shown in Figure 5-19.
Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM5–2010004880 Rev. D1Aperto Installation Manager TroubleshootingThis section offers solutions for problems related to the use of the Aperto InstallationManager (AIM) utility.Problems Connecting to the Subscriber UnitIf the Aperto Installation Manager fails to connect with the PacketWave 200 after MACaddress/frequency configuration, a “Host unreachable” message will result. Possiblecauses and solutions include the following:• Cabling problem — Verify that a crossover cable is being used, and that it issecurely connected at both ends.• No power to the PacketWave 200 — Make sure that the Interface Box is properlyconnected to an AC outlet and to the Outdoor Unit (ODU), and that the InterfaceBox ODU Port’ LEDs indicate that power is on.• Incorrect MAC address — Check the MAC address entered against the MAC addresson 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, subnetmask, and gateway.• Multiple Ethernet connections enabled — On the computer running the AIM, verifythat only the Ethernet connection to the PacketWave 200 is enabled. If multipleEthernet connections are enabled, the AIM will not be able to determine the correctconnection to use.• Another application using the port — Close any application that might be using thecomputer port employed by the AIM. Use the Windows task manager or LINUX/UNIXprocess status as appropriate, and remove the task or reboot the computer as nec-essary. (Sometimes Windows will have an extra Java task that is using the port.)Problems Communicating with the Base Station UnitAfter antenna alignment is finished, the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) establishescommunication with the Base Station Unit, downloads configuration and IP information,and performs ping and throughput tests with the Base Station Unit. The SU state duringestablishment of the communication link and initialization of the SU is indicated by mes-sages 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 theping and throughput tests are not successfully completed, the Aperto Installation Managerindicates installation failure in the Results Window.Possible causes and solutions for a failure in communication with the Base Station Unitinclude the following:
5–2110004880 Rev. D1Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM• Incorrect frequency entered — Verify that the frequency information specified forthe SU matches the BSU. (Typically, the AIM will have hung at the “searching forsync” or “link establishment” state.)• Incorrect BSU ID entered — Verify the BSU ID, which is case-sensitive and mustmatch the ID as entered on the BSU.• Incorrect WSS port number entered — Verify that the SU is in the correct sector andthat the correct port number is being used.• Cable problems — Ensure that the Cat 5 cable between the Interface Box and theOutdoor Unit is properly and securely connected; that the cable meets the require-ments given in this manual; and that the cable does not exceed 100 m (330 ft) inlength 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 antennaagain, making sure to secure the Outdoor Unit in the position where the strongestsignal is being received. (Typically, the AIM will have hung at the “searching forsync” or “link establishment” state.)• BSU wireless failure — Confirm that the BSU’s wireless interface to the SU is oper-ating correctly. (Typically, the AIM will have hung at the “searching for sync” or “linkestablishment” 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 aproblem 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, thecommunication link’s error rate may make it inappropriate to put the SU into ser-vice. Experience has shown that the test can take up to ten minutes and still becompleted without errors. If the throughput rate is not appropriate, try aligning theantenna in its current location or relocating the antenna. If this does not solve theproblem, perhaps the sensitivity of the antenna at the base station should beadjusted (depending on performance of other SUs in the sector).• Signal too strong — If the base station antenna is adjusted for communication withdistant SUs, an SU near the base station may not be able to turn its transmit powerlow enough to avoid overdriving its signal to the base station. (Typically, the AIMwill have hung at the “searching for sync” or “link establishment” state.) If thisoccurs, align the subscriber antenna for the maximum signal; then adjust theantenna alignment upward (“detuning” the antenna to decrease transmit power),keeping the signal strength below -40 dBm.NOTE: Please be sure to have the correct frequency, BSU ID, sector number, andchannel width when running AIM. Without these correct entries, the unit will not beable to synchronize with the Base Station and you will not be able to align theantenna. The lack of signal will appear the same as a non-covered area. Either use a
Chapter 5. The PacketWave AIM5–2210004880 Rev. D1“Have Disk” file generated by the Configuration Manager or use the correct WSSnumber.
6–110004880 Rev. D16The Web GUIThe 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). Func-tions 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 theTFTP server.• Resetting the PacketWave 200.ISP and Subscriber Logon LevelsThe Packet SU Web GUI features different logon levels for ISPs and subscribers, each pro-tected by a different user-set password. (There is also a Debug logon level, reserved forAperto use.) The ISP logon level provides access to all areas of SU configuration, statusreporting, performance monitoring, and operating commands. The Subscriber logon levelis 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.

6–510004880 Rev. D1Chapter 6. The Web GUISubmitting and Uploading ChangesPages 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 isclicked.Clicking Submit affects only the operating configuration of the SU. The SU’s configurationfile located on the BSU’s TFTP server is not altered; therefore, the configuration changewill be lost if the SU is reset or re-powered (after which the SU reverts to the configurationspecified in its configuration file).To update the SU’s configuration file on the TFTP server with changes made via the WebGUI, 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 ineffect to be written into the SU’s configuration file on the TFTP server.Cancel and Refresh ButtonsSome pages include Cancel and/or Refresh buttons at the bottom.• Clicking on the Cancel button cancels any changes made on the page; altered fieldswill return to their original contents.• Clicking on the Refresh button refreshes all fields with configuration parametersdownloaded from the TFTP server.HyperlinksSome Web GUI pages include hyperlinks to related pages. For example, the Routing Tablepage includes hyperlinks to pages for adding and deleting routes. Hyperlinks are indi-cated 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 hyperlinksto pages for adding and deleting routes.

C–110004880 Rev. D1AppendixCDiagnostic ManagerThe Diagnostic Manager utility supports a range of diagnostic functions designed to helpisolate Subscriber Unit problems under direct supervision by Aperto personnel. It is notintended for general use by subscribers or service providers.Loading the Diagnostic Manager Software onto the PCTo load the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM) software onto the PC to be used to run theDiagnostic Manager:1. Obtain the CD distributed with your PacketWave 200 equipment, which includesthe 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 thePacketWave distribution CD (bsu/Software/Application/Support directory) or thejava.sun.com web site.3. Run the file setup.exe from the /Software/Application/DiagnosticManager/<OS> direc-tory (where <OS> is the operating system being used, such as win32). At the end ofthis installation, a Diagnostic Manager icon will be placed on the PC’s desktop.NOTE: Diagnostic (DM) is now combined with AIM. It does work with the sameinterface protocol as AIM and therefore is included in the same package. Running the Diagnostic ManagerTo use the Diagnostic Manager:1. Connect the PC to the PacketWave 200 as described under Connecting to the Pack-etWave 200 on page 5-2.
Appendix C. Diagnostic ManagerC–210004880 Rev. D12. Click on the Diagnostic Manager icon on the desktop to launch the utility. The win-dow shown in Figure C-1 will be displayed.3. Enter the MAC address of the PacketWave 200 as prompted; then click OK.Figure C-1 Opening Diagnostic Manager Window4. The Diagnostic Manager will open as shown in Figure C-2. The Diagnostic Managerincludes numerous diagnostic functions which can be initiated from the mainmenu bar or from the command list area at the bottom of the window.5. Execute diagnostic commands as directed by Aperto personnel. Command resultswill be displayed in the text area below the menu bar.WARNING: Diagnostic functions can seriously disrupt operation of the PacketWave200. Use the Diagnostic Manager utility only under direct supervision byAperto personnel.Make sure you close Diagnostic Manager (DM) sessions manually when using DM withPacketWave 200 series products. If they are not closed, the data, which remains in thememory will take up space needed by theSystem Upgrade Manager (SUM). SUM will givea warning that there is not enough space and the process will not complete

D–110004880 Rev. D1AppendixDCommand 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 Apertopersonnel.Accessing and Using the CLITo 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 alsoa 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 passwordsare isp and subscriber (case-sensitive). Passwords can be changed via theWaveCenter Configuration Manager, the Web GUI, SNMP, and the CLI.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 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 com-mand parameters, enter the command followed by ?.5. If there is no activity on a connection for 30 minutes, the CLI will disconnect.
Appendix D. Command Line Interface (CLI)D–210004880 Rev. D16. When you are finished with the CLI, end the Telnet session by entering the killTelnetcommand or simply closing the Telnet application.NOTE: One should type the command followed by an enter key. Then type the“?” followed by an enter key. This will produce the desired effect.CommandsSubscriber Unit CLI commands are defined in Table D-A. All commands are case-sensitive.Error MessagesError 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 donot match.Table D-A Subscriber Unit CLI CommandsCommand FunctionkillTelnet Causes the CLI to terminate all current Telnet sessions connected at port 5000.reboot Reboots the Subscriber Unit.set dhcpServer Does not apply to Subscriber Unit.set vlan Sets vlan parameters.set debug_passwdset isp_passwdset subs_passwdThese commands set passwords for Debug, ISP, and Subscriber logon. CLI prompts for password to be entered twice (Enter Password:, then Confirm Password:). New password is set only if the two entries are identical, including case. Password cannot be set for higher logon level than current logon.show dhcp_server Shows the DHCP parameters, including IP address, subnet mask, and gateway, TFTP servers, and config file name.show config file Displays the Subscriber Unit’s configuration file in text format. File is displayed one screen at a time; CLI prompts for key to be pressed to display next screen.show config frequency port 1show config frequency allEither command shows the center frequency for the Subscriber Unit’s wireless port.
