Introducing the StarMAX™ 3100 Series
Harris Stratex Networks' StarMAX™ 3100 Series Subscriber Stations (SS) are fully
compliant and certified with the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standards and conform to
WiMAX forum Wave 2 inter-operability specifications. They are matched to the
frequencies and WiMAX enhanced features supported by the Harris Stratex Networks
Base Station (BS) system. When deployed in networks based on the StarMAX™ Base
Station, they provide optimal performance in line-of-sight (LOS), near line-of-sight
(NrLOS) as well as non-line-of-sight (NLOS) applications. The Subscriber Station
offers market leading performance through the use of intelligent antenna systems and
advanced WiMAX features.
The system uses S-OFDMA radio technology, which is robust in adverse channel
conditions and enables NLOS operation. This helps in easy installation, improves
coverage, and maintains a high level of spectral efficiency. Modulation and coding can
be adapted per burst, helping to achieve the balance of robustness and efficiency, based
on the prevailing link conditions.
StarMAX™ 3100 Series Subscriber Stations support a wide range of network services,
including Internet Access and Voice over IP. A variety of other choices are also available
to meet the requirements of different environments, including residential, SOHO,
SME, large enterprise and multi-tenant customers while able to support fixed, nomadic
and mobile services.
The StarMAX™ 3100 Series of Subscriber Stations is currently available in the 2.3-2.4,
2.5-2.7 GHz, 3.4-3.6 GHz, and 3.6-3.8 GHz frequency bands, and also of various signal
send/receive strengths. The actual operating frequencies used by the system can be
configured by software according to the applicable radio regulations, license conditions
and specific deployments.
3160 CPE must be professionally installed. It is up to the installer to set
the Frequency of the CPE (frequency scanning list). For NA market, we
do not have to define a SKU that limits the frequency but we do need a
FRU that limits the power. In Canada, we need to limit both the
frequency and power. Both NA and Canada follow the same EIRP limits
across the 50 MHz frequency band (1 watt per MHz).

Installation of the StarMAX™ 3160
Subscriber Station
Ensure that the package contains the items shown in the following figure:
Figure 2-1. The StarMAX™ 3160 Package Contents
Mounting the Subscriber Station on a Pole
This section provides the installation process guidelines for the existing pole
installation outside of the customer premises. The most suitable location for a pole is
such that the Subscriber Station can be rotated 360 degrees in a horizontal direction
and aligned for about +/- 5 degrees in the vertical direction (when the pole is vertical
and vice versa when the pole is horizontal), to be able to align the antenna correctly. If
the best direction towards the closest Base Station is already known, such a wide angle
for the alignment is not needed. Recommended pole diameter is 40 mm and the
required pole length is 1.25 m.
There are two possibilities of mounting a Subscriber Station on a pole:
• Vertical mounting on a pole (two diameters)
• Horizontal mounting on a pole (two diameters)
Make sure that the pole is mounted firmly enough. If the pole is mounted at the highest
point of the building, a proper grounding must be installed for the pole and at least 30
cm of the pole should be left above the top of the Subscriber Station. That ensures that
in case of a lightning strike electric discharge hits the pole and is taken directly to the
ground.
The antenna can be mounted on a pole with a diameter of 40-65 mm.

Mounting Bracket Attachment
There are several options of mounting the Subscriber Station (wall mounting, thick and
thin pole mounting, grid mounting etc.). For installing the Subscriber Station on a pole,
please follow the steps described below.
1. Attach the bracket transition to the base bracket of the enclosure as shown in
Figure 2-2.
2. Mate the knurled surfaces so that both items are tightened together.
3. The bolt head should be positioned in the socket of the base bracket, while the nut,
the spring washer and the flat washer should be placed on the flat surface of the
bracket transition. Tighten up the screw with a torque of 24 Nm. Attach the wall
mounting flange on the other side of the transition bracket by using the same
method as the above.
Figure 2-2. Subscriber Station mounting assembly
Mounting the StarMAX™ 3160 on a Wall
This section provides guidelines for the installation of the Subscriber Station on a wall
outside of the customer premises. At first an appropriate location on a wall has to be
chosen. It has to be easily accessible and located as high as possible, the surface has to
be flat and firm, and orientated approximately in the direction of the base station.
Usually the vertical movement of a SS on a wall is very limited.
When mounted on the wall, the mounting kit provides the antenna with
up to a 40° tilting possibility in a horizontal and in a vertical direction.
The procedure for fixing the Subscriber Station on a wall is similar to the procedure
described above, except that the upper part is not necessary.

Chapter 2. Quick Installation of the StarMAX™ 3100 Series Stationary Subscriber Stations
Connecting the Equipment
The unit should be mounted with the female RJ45 connector pointed
downwards and never upwards. If it is necessary to mount the ODU
where the RJ45 connector has to be mounted parallel to the ground, a
service loop needs to be added when attaching the cable to the RJ45
connector.
1. Connect the Network Cable to the RF+DC port on the POE Module.
2. Connect the RJ-45 Network Cable to the RF port on the POE Injector.
3. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 Network Cable to the RJ-45 port of your
computer's Ethernet card or adapter or the network equipment.
4. Connect the POE Injector to a standard electrical outlet.
The POE cable is not provided with the Subscriber Station so you
should take care of the proper connector pinout when preparing
the cable.

Chapter 2. Quick Installation of the StarMAX™ 3100 Series Stationary Subscriber Stations
POE Injector/Splitter
The StarMAX™ 3160 Subscriber Station is powered via a POE device, consisting of a
POE Injector and a POE Splitter. The Injector takes 110-240V AC power and converts
it to a DC voltage to transfer it through the CAT5 cable along with data. The Injector is
typically installed in the “wiring closet” near a CPE or Ethernet switch/hub. The POE
Splitter takes the output of the Injector (data + electric current), picks-off the DC
Voltage that has been injected into the Ethernet cable by the Injector and makes it
available to the equipment through the regular DC power jack. The data separated from
the DC voltage is forwarded to the device through a separate data jack. The splitters are
typically installed near the equipment running on a POE supply.
You have to ensure a proper grounding for all installations!
To prevent damage of the equipment it is recommended to use
splitters and injectors of the same make!
The POE should be placed in a cool and dry place. The 110-240V
AC power connector should be connected firmly to the socket!
The grounding point and the POE connector of the Full Outdoor
Subscriber Station have to be oriented downwards to avoid any
water leakage into the unit!
The network (Cat5) cable must have both ends terminated with
properly crimped RJ45 connectors by using one type of the T658A
or T568B wiring standard, tested with the Network (Cat5) tester/
analyzer. The LTW cap must be installed as well. The POE
circuitry at the Subscriber Station might fail or the Ethernet port
might fail as well or it might not work properly. Additionally the
POE injector would detect an error and wouldn't establish any
voltage.
Precaution Guidelines
In order to prevent damage of the equipment please follow the precautions described
below before powering the equipment on.
• Test the Subscriber Station on the ground before installation (connect both cables to
the Ethernet ports by using short Cat5 cables.
• Turn the notebook on.
260-668104-001 December 2009 2-7
StarMAX™ 3100 Series Subscriber Station User Manual
• Connect the 110-240V power voltage to the POE injector (this should be connected
the last. Wait for a few seconds and check whether the green lights from the POE are
coming up: first the power green light next to the POE green light. If the LED is
blinking there is no voltage delivered and something is wrong).
• Verify that the modem is reaching Operational status (that means it is connected to
the Base Station and it can pass the ping traffic); if operational status has been
reached then proceed to the next step. If not then check once more the steps
described above; in case of failure for the second time, send the modem back to the
factory.
• For modems that have reached the Operational status ping and start short traffic
tests to verify the web connectivity.
• For modems that have reached the web connectivity, continue with the field unstable
Cat5 cable testing.
Important! It is essential that the main voltage (110-240V ) is
disconnected before disconnecting any other cable!
• Disconnect the power first!
• Remove the Cat5 cable from the SS-ODU to the POE injector;
• Replace with the Cat5 cable that the Subscriber Station is going to be installed with
(since this cable may be crimped in the field, the Cat5 cable must have both ends
terminated with properly crimped RJ45 connectors by using one type T568A or
T568B wiring standards and tested with Cat5 tester/analyzer; the LTW cap must be
installed as well – see the description in the table below).

It is better that the Cat5 cables are properly prepared and tested before
going into the field!
If the Cat5 cable that is crimped in the field is not properly wired or the
wires are not following one of the T568A or T568B wiring standards, the
POE circuitry at the SS-outdoor unit may fail or the Ethernet port might
fail as well or might not work properly. Additionally, the POE injector will
detect an error and won't establish voltage.

Troubleshooting Guidelines
For Subscriber Stations that have already been installed and fail to work properly check
the following:
• Are the POE lights both green? If yes, the POE is working properly; if not disconnect
the 110-240V and reconnect then wait for a few seconds and check that the green
lights are on.
• If no green lights are present, then the POE circuitry is detecting a failure in the Cat5
cabling or the SS-ODU circuitry. Check the Cat5 first for proper connection or
damage. Eventually test with a new Cat5 cable.
• If the green lights are on, test that the modem reaches Operational Status: ping and
make a traffic test. If this is failing, then remove the SS-ODU.
• If one or the other green lights is not on, then replace the POE injector and repeat the
procedure to check for green lights, operation, ping, traffic; if OK, then the POE
injector is failing.
• If still failing with the new POE injector, then remove the SS-ODU, the original Cat5
cable, and the original POE injector; pack them all and ship all of the items
TOGETHER for failure analysis to RMA and describe the failure.
Sealing the StarMAX™ 3160 POE Injector
The sealing on the bottom side of the Subscriber Station should be closed tightly to
prevent any water leakage into the unit. For details see Figure 2-3.
The StarMAX™ 3160 Subscriber Station has a built-in panel antenna. Use
the 4-LED display to see the measured signal strength in order to place
the unit in the optimal position.

Chapter 3. Antenna Alignment
Using wireless data communications involves signal transmission and reception in
various environments, where building configurations can sometimes interfere with the
transmitted signals. Therefore you have to optimize the placement and the direction of
the StarMAX™ Subscriber Station and/or its optional external antenna.
It is advisable that you try to find the optimal location for placing the Subscriber Station
and/or the antenna prior to fixing the Subscriber Station and/or antenna to any fixed
objects, such as poles or walls (installations described in Chapter 2).
To do this you can use the built-in SS HTML GUI, described in Chapter 6 of this
manual. Under the Antenna Graph option you can read out the CINR and RSSI values
and you can read out the signal quality and strength parameters. RSSI and CINR
thresholds are specified as RSSI/CINR @ 3MHz: - 84dB/12dB; RSSI/CINR @ 6MHz:
- 82dB/12dB. CINR values lower than 12 dB should not be acceptable.
For professional installations a specialized Alignment Tool application can be used to
evaluate the receive signal strength values (RSSI) and to adjust the Subscriber Station
accordingly.
If using the SS HTML GUI to find the optimal space for positioning the SS,
please refresh the Antenna Graph every time you reposition the
equipment.
When finding the optimal position for your outdoor antennas please follow these
guidelines:
• Ensure that the outdoor unit of the antenna provides direct line of sight (LOS) or
near line of sight (NrLOS) conditions to the Base Station antenna.
• In the no line of sight (NLOS) conditions direct the antenna to the open space and
not directly towards the nearest obstructions such as tall buildings, hills, trees etc.
• To achieve a better link quality, place the Subscriber Station antenna as high as
possible.
• Ensure that the location of the antenna is easily accessible for a safe installation and
testing.
• When deciding about the location of the Subscriber Station, take into account the
location of the power outlet and of your data equipment.
To make a fine antenna alignment in the horizontal direction (left-right) or in the
vertical direction (up-down), you should slightly loosen the corresponding nut to
enable the movement of the antenna in the desired direction.

Aligning the Subscriber Unit Antenna
This section is applicable only to the Outdoor Subscriber Station.
The link quality measurement can be obtained using the web based SS HTML GUI
management interface (see Subscriber Station HTML GUI on page 6-1 for
details). The Signal LED on the Subscriber Station flashes when the registration
process is in progress and is on when the Subscriber Station is registered.
To align the outdoor antenna, please follow these steps:
1. Point the antenna towards the general direction of the base station.
2. Verify that the power LED of the Subscriber Station is on.
3. Check the signal LED- flashing indicates that the Subscriber Station is
synchronized with the Base Station. If the signal LED is off, check the basic
configuration of the Subscriber Station.
4. Check whether the Signal LED is on after flashing green for few seconds. If the
signal LED continues to flash, try to change the direction of the antenna or position
the antenna at a higher or an alternate location.
5. Use the SS HTML GUI to ascertain the best link quality (see Subscriber Station
HTML GUI on page 6-1 for details).
Verifying Data connectivity
To verify data connectivity, try to connect to the Internet from the end-user's PC (see
Configuring Your Computer (MS Windows) on page 5-1 for details).

Setting the IP Address
The quickest way to start using the correctly installed StarMAX™ 3100 Series
Subscriber Station is to configure your computer network port for a fixed IP address
that is in the same subnet as the default IP address of the Subscriber Station which is
192.168.1.1. The computer’s IP address should be in the range 192.168.1.2. through
192.168.1.254. Follow these steps to configure a computer for a static IP:
1. Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2. Double click Network Connections.
3. Find the LAN connection that is connected to the Subscriber Station, right-click the
connection and check the Status. It should be connected.
4. Then right-click on the Properties/General tab and select Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) and click Properties.

Figure 5-1. Fixed IP address
After the IP address of the computer has been set you can configure the scanning
conditions by the web based application described in Subscriber Station HTML GUI
on page 6-1 and start scanning for the best signal. The Subscriber Station is usually
able to connect to the Base Station of the network in a couple of minutes (it usually
takes about 0.5-2 minutes, which depends on the configuration of the Subscriber
Station) after the Subscriber Station has been powered on. Once the Subscriber Station
is operational (as shown in Subscriber Station HTML GUI on page 6-1), you
should configure your computer in accordance with the settings of the operator (DHCP,
PPPoE or static IP). Please follow the instructions given by the operator.

Setting the Password
You can login to a Subscriber Station by using the telnet and the IP address of the
Subscriber Station.
Example: telnet 192.168.185.61
A login and password dialog appears. There are different privileges with respect to
the user logged in. A password can also be set when logged on the Subscriber Station.
The support password logic has been changed to provide better security for the
Subscriber Station. There are several options to login to the Subscriber Station.
• For users with limited access you can use the following combination:
Login: root
Password: telsimawl
• For advanced users dynamic password logic has been created:
•If the startupconfig is not present in the SS (modem), the default password for the
Login: support is starmax<SS>TS<D><HH> where
<SS> is the last two digits of the box’s serial # (if the FRU is not in the Subscriber
Station, then the serial number will be “TW”)
TS are just letters that stand for Telsima
<D> is the first letter of the day of the week
<HH> is the two digit hour in military time
5-6 Harris Stratex Networks
Chapter 5. Configuring Your Computer (MS Windows)
•If the startupconfig is present in the Subscriber Station (modem) and no user
has modified the support user password (default generated for the
startupconfig), the password in the startupconfig for the Login: support is
support<SS>TS<D><HH>.
•If the startupconfig has got any other password set for the user: support, then
the password for the user: support will be that. If the password is Telsima, then
the password would be: telsima<SS>TS<D><HH>.
The following logic has been applied for the default/user changed password for support
user:
Example: starmaxTWTSW05
<actual password> <SS>TS<D><HH>
<actual password> is the current support password starmax
To assist the user to arrive to the <SS> serial number, <D> day of the week and <HH>

Chapter 6. Subscriber Station
HTML GUI
The Subscriber Station HTML GUI is a web based application, designed for
management of the StarMAX™ Subscriber Stations and for monitoring the incoming
RF signal levels (RSSI, CINR). HTTP servers basically provide access to monitoring
and configuration of the device. The HTTP server is supported by both the Base
Stations and the Subscriber Stations. The Subscriber Station HTTP server supports
HTML pages mainly for configuration and monitoring of various aspects of the
Subscriber Station. The following functionalities can be configured and/or monitored
at the Subscriber Station:
• IP address related configuration
• Downlink radio measurement information
• Scanner channel configuration
• Miscellaneous configuration, such as Subscriber Station reset etc.
• Network Address Translation information and configuration
• IP and MAC filtering information and configuration
The HTTP server in the Subscriber Station consists of standalone modules that are
primarily used for enabling the JAVA Web Start technology. They access the JAVA Web
Start files present in the system, and send them back to the HTTP Client when they are
requested.
The HTTP Server in the Subscriber Station is serving traditional HTML pages to the
web browser, and is used for configuring and monitoring the system.
Ethernet Link Down
During the Subscriber Station power-up process the Ethernet link can be enabled or
disabled by default, thus enabling/disabling the user of the station to access the
Subscriber Station while the station is in the RF offline mode. The administrators can
modify the behavior of the Ethernet link when the Subscriber Station goes from
non-operational state to the operational state and vice-versa on the RF link.
By default, this feature is disabled to provide Ethernet access to the Subscriber Station
for configuration and management reasons.
This feature is active only when the Ethernet link is configured for power down mode.
The Subscriber Station will bring up the Ethernet interface and the link will be active
during the power cycle. The Ethernet will not be in power down mode by default.
The power down mode can be enabled or disabled (see the StarMAX™ 3100 Series
Subscriber Station Support Manual for details).

Chapter 6. Subscriber Station HTML GUI
HTML GUI Introduction
The Subscriber Station HTML GUI is accessed through the web browser at the default
address of the Subscriber Station. The user/administrator needs to open the web
browser and type in the Subscriber Station’s default IP address (default IP is: http://
192.168.1.1); then the username and password need to be provided to access the
configuration and management options of the StarMAX™ 3100 Series Subscriber
Station through the Subscriber Station HTML GUI.
Authentication (Login/Password)
The authentication tab is used to accept the HTML client user name and password and
validate further access to the user for the Subscriber Station configuration. The default
username/password pair for an ordinary user is admin/admin. The administrator’s
username/password will be delivered by the operator for security reasons. The
administrator has more privileges then an ordinary user. This manual is intended for
both kinds of users, so some screenshots presented in the manual can be seen only by
an administrator who has full privileges.

With NAT enabled the Subscriber Station will not forward the VLAN tagged packets.
Tagged packets received at any interface will be dropped by the Subscriber Station,
thus allowing greater security of the network users and the network itself. MVLAN and
VoIP classifications are not supported in the NAT mode. (see the Network Address
Translation (NAT) on page 7-1 for details).

Translation (NAT)
The Network Address Translation (NAT, also known as Network Masquerading, Native
Address Translation or IP Masquerading) method enables the Subscriber Station to act
as a traditional layer 3 NAT device, possibly in conjunction with an external or internal

Chapter 7. Network Address Translation (NAT)
Enabling NAT
If the Subscriber Station is configured for NAT operation, then once the public IP
address mode has been configured (DHCP or static) the NAT module is initialized.
Operating Modes (L2, 1:N, N:N)
The Provisioning Server configures the Subscriber Station for its network operating
mode: L2, 1:N NAT, or N:N NAT. The Subscriber Station must first obtain its
management IP address; this is assigned via DHCP unless you manually configure a
static IP address, network mask and gateway IP address for the station.
After the management IP has been established, the Provisioning Server configures the
network operating mode. Note that the Subscriber Station will operate in L2 mode until
this configuration is received (the provisioning server cannot configure the Subscriber
Station until after the management IP has been established).
L2 Mode
The L2 Mode is the default mode of operation. This is the mode currently supported in
the Subscriber Station.
1:N NAT
In 1:N NAT mode (also referred to as NAPT - Network Address and Port Translation),
the Provisioning Server will also configure the global IP allocation mode, one of DHCP
or static. In the case of static addressing, the Provisioning Server will also configure the
global IP address, network mask and gateway IP address.
PPPoE is not supported for global IP in this release.
N:N NAT
In N:N NAT mode, the Provisioning Server will configure a set of address translation
pairs (local IP, global IP): the global network mask and gateway IP, and the local IP
address and local network mask.
260-668104-001 December 2009 7-3
StarMAX™ 3100 Series Subscriber Station User Manual
The Subscriber Station’s local IP address will be the gateway for the
network side PCs. All local IP addresses must belong to the network
defined by the local IP address and network mask. All global IP addresses
must belong to the same network defined by the gateway IP address and
global network mask.
Operating Mode Switching
The StarMAX™ supports switching of operating modes between L2 or 1:N or N:N. The
Subscriber Station comes up by default in the L2 mode and then, during the
initialization process, switches from L2 to NAT mode. The other mode changes (NAT
to L2, or 1:N to N:N) require a reboot of the Subscriber Station.
L2 to NAT Operating Mode
The Subscriber Station will always begin operation in L2 mode. If the provisioning
server configures the Subscriber Station for NAT operation, the second interface
seqnet1 must be configured. In the interest of simplicity, the seqnet1 interface can be
enabled and registered with no IP address established. Only when NAT operating mode
is requested should an IP address be assigned to it.
If the CPE has already received a global IP address from the DHCP server
while in L2 mode, then the CPE IP address has to be renewed manually
once the mode is changed to NAT.
NAT to L2 Operating Mode
When the Subscriber Station is in NAT mode and you change the mode of operation to
L2, the Subscriber Station will reset/reboot and start operating in the newly set mode.
The reset/reboot will be initiated in the Subscriber Station when it receives the new
configuration information from the PS.
If the CPE has already received a local IP address while in NAT mode,
then the CPE IP address has to be renewed manually once the mode is
changed to L2.
7-4 Harris Stratex Networks
Chapter 7. Network Address Translation (NAT)
Provisioning Server Changes
Any change to a Subscriber Station’s operating mode in the provisioning server (an
operator may switch an account and hence a particular modem from L2 to NAT mode)
causes the modem to reset its network interfaces. Any existing IP connections are
broken and the Subscriber Station user needs to reestablish them. The Subscriber
Station user may also be required to re-initialize any attached PC’s network
connections to acquire a new IP address. (See Configuring Your Computer (MS
Windows) on page 5-1 for details).
Interfaces and IP Address Assignment
The Subscriber Station in NAT mode has 3 (or more) IP addresses: the management IP,
local IP and global IP(s). The management IP and local IP are the same as used when
in L2 mode (configured to seqnet0). When the Subscriber Station is in NAT mode,
seqnet1 is configured with the global IP address(es).
When operating in 1:N NAT mode there is just one global IP address
assigned and in the case of N:N NAT there are be multiple global IP
addresses assigned to the seqnet1 interface.
N:N NAT Translations
In N:N NAT mode (also called “basic NAT”), the local/global translations can be set in
the NAT configuration string. The entries are labeled “NAT Static Entry Local Address”
and “NAT Static Entry Global Address”. Dynamic changing of the N:N mappings is not
a requirement.
Incoming connections are supported for N:N NAT mode as this is simple IP translation
and the mapping from global IP addresses to local IP addresses is one-to-one.
260-668104-001 December 2009 7-5
StarMAX™ 3100 Series Subscriber Station User Manual
DHCP Server Configuration
Enabling and disabling the local DHCP server (for using in NAPT mode) is done via the
Subscriber Station HTML GUI (see Subscriber Station HTML GUI on page 6-1)
or via the CLI (See the StarMAX™ 3100 Series Support Manual). By default the DHCP
server is enabled.
The range of addresses can be specified by a starting and ending IP address, or by a
starting IP address and count of the number of addresses. The manner used can be
selected through the Subscriber Station HTML GUI (see Subscriber Station HTML
GUI on page 6-1).
The Subscriber Station in NAT mode supports up to 50 DHCP clients.
The default local IP address of the Subscriber Station is 192.168.1.1/24,
with a DHCP range of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150.
DHCP can technically change an interface IP upon renewal. In practice
this is quite rare, but it is possible. In such case the NAT module must be
reconfigured (e.g. any existing NAT connections will no longer be valid).
Access Control
The StarMAX™ 3100 Series Subscriber Station utilizes an IP forwarding logic which
does not NAT-translate any packets with the source IP addresses that do not belong to
the local subnet; however, it forwards any packet with a valid source IP address for the
local subnet.
Specifically, the Subscriber Station will not limit access to just those IP addresses
handed out by the DHCP server - a subscriber may always connect CPE devices with
static IP addresses as long as they belong to the local subnet.
Additionally, the DHCP server performs duplicate address detection when handing out
leases.

The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) entry creates a forwarding rule in 1:N NAT mode for
forwarding of any packets addressed to the global IP address to a single local IP
address. This is essentially the same as an entry for a static Global to Local translation
as used in N:N mode.
Any port forwarding rules or dynamic NAT translation entries take priority
over a DMZ configuration.
DMZ mode does not apply until DMZ has been enabled and a local DMZ
IP address has been configured.
VLAN traffic
Forwarding of VLAN-tagged packets incoming to or outgoing from the Subscriber
Station is not supported when the Subscriber Station is operating in NAT mode. The
typical use case for the VLAN-tagged traffic is deployed in enterprises with QinQ
support and this usage case normally does not require NAT operation.
VLAN packets received by the Subscriber Station are dropped and the interface
dropped packet counter is incremented.
