Overview of a StarMAX™ Base Station
Introducing StarMAX™
The StarMAX™ 6000 is a series of Base Station solutions, which offers a possibility to
install 16d and 16e WiMAX blades into a 1U or 4U chassis. Together with the
StarMAX™ 8200 series of the 16e ODUs, it is used to build a flexible network of
multi-sectored WiMAX 16e Base Stations (BS).
The Solution is designed in a modular split indoor/outdoor (IDU/ODU) form. A High
bandwidth CPRI interface (fiber optic) is used between an IDU and an ODU. The power
supply for the ODU is delivered over a separate cable.
Harris Stratex Networks’ Mobile WiMAX solution supports mobile voice and data
services, and can be used in a carrier grade nationwide network or on an enterprise
grade campus network. A StarMAX™ System complies with the 802.16e-2005
specifications and ensures interoperability with the systems built in accordance with
the same specifications. This enables the opportunity to use Subscriber Stations and
Mobile Stations of different vendors. The StarMAX™ solution is wave 2 compliant and
certified by the WiMAX Forum. While the system is designed to offer mobile services,
the same can also offer fixed, nomadic or portable services without any loss of
efficiency.
A StarMAX™ 6000 Series Base Station indoor unit is a compact 1U or 4U rack mount
Base Station. The solution is scalable for dense urban to rural deployments with
provision for multi-sectored deployments with a dense frequency reuse. It gives the
flexibility of deploying a lower number of sectors initially and addition of new sectors
later on if necessary. The solution is available in various frequency bands in order to
meet the requirements of different markets.
All connections are made on the front panel to ease the installation and maintenance
and enable back-to-back or wall positioning of the equipment. The chassis is designed
for carrier grade deployments with redundant power supply and a field replaceable
FAN unit.
The StarMAX™ 8200 Series Outdoor unit delivers a high output power with an
advanced antenna technology like MIMO 2x2 Matrix A/B for better coverage and
service quality in demanding mobile environments. Together with the StarMAX™
range of Subscriber Stations, StarMAX™ NMS and StarMAX™ ASN the Base Station
offers a complete mobile solution for the operator.

Chapter 1. Introduction & Overview
StarMAX™ 6000 Series Mobile Base Station Building
Blocks
The StarMAX™ 6000 Series of Mobile Base Stations use a number of different blades
to support different Base Station configurations, network structures and
implementation scenarios. The building block can be divided in different groups of
products, according to the functions they are delivering:
a. StarMAX 6000 chassis or MSAN chassis
b. StarMAX 6000 16 e WiMAX Network Processing Blades
c. StarMAX™ 4940 external GSSU unit
d. StarMAX™ 4930 GPS unit and a cable splitter for synchronization purpose
e. StarMAX™ 6080 Synch blade
f. cables (RF jumper cable, IF cable, antenna cable)
g. Outdoor Unit (ODU)
Beside those stated above, the StarMAX™ 8200 ODU part is necessary to form a
complete Base Station, which is covered elsewhere in this document.
The StarMAX™ Chassis
An operator has a choice of using a single blade 6100 chassis or a multi-blade 6400
chassis. Since there is a requirement for a Synchronization blade, it is recommended
that the operator use the 6400 chassis, because it ensures a stable network in case of
future growth.
Figure 1-1. StarMAX™ Mobile Base Station
The MSAN Chassis
The MSAN chassis is much like the 6400 chassis with one major difference: there is no
master slot. The NMS displays the MSAN chassis as a 3rd party chassis.

StarMAX™ 6000 Series Mobile Base Stations User Manual
Brief Description of a StarMAX™ Base Station
A Base Station installed at the Operator premises provides data connectivity to all
provisioned and registered Subscriber stations.
The StarMAX™ 6000 Series Base Station has a rugged industrial design with dual
redundant power supply inlets and removable cooling fan tray to ensure reliability and
high performance in adverse conditions. Redundant WiMAX configurations can be
built by adding more base systems to the stack or designating an available WiMAX
point-to-multipoint module within a base system as a hot standby.
The StarMAX™ 6000 Series base station has implemented several enhanced modes of
WiMAX for performance differentiation, to receive diversity through MRC and
transmit diversity through STC and for payload header suppression for increasing IP
payload throughput.
Based on Harris Stratex Networks’ core intellectual property a wide range of RF options
are supported, including 2.3/2.5/3.3/3.5 GHz bands in Time Division Duplexing
(TDD) modes of operation.
The Harris Stratex Networks base station also supports portability and mobility in the
WiMAX network by enabling TRUFLE™ technology which supports features such as a
state handover of a subscriber station from one base station to another without losing
IP connectivity and TCP sessions.
Network Management System for the StarMAX™ Base
Station
The Harris Statex Networks network management system, StarMAX™ NMS
implements full Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS)
functionalities and is implemented on a client-server architecture based on the SNMP
v2. This provides an easy integration of the NMS into the operator's management and
billing systems environment.
The Provisioning Manager keeps the access lists and implements service level
agreements. It can configure min/max bandwidth, QoS, priority and rate limiting per
subscriber station or service flow. Supported classes of service are Best Effort (BE),
UGS, nrt-PS, eRtps and Rt-PS.

Logging-in In to the Base Station for the First
Time
You must use the serial port on the front panel of the StarMAX™ 6000 (IDU) to
manage the base station when you log in for the first time. This ensures that the basic
parameters (for example the IP address) can be configured to enable Telnet access to
the CLI or Java base NMS (i.e. NMS).
Ensure that you have the following items before you log in:
• A VT-100 compatible terminal, or a PC with terminal emulation software
• A DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable
To log in:
1. Connect a serial cable from the COM port on your computer to the serial port
(RJ-45 connector) on the IDU.
2. Configure the terminal or emulation program as follows:
• Port: COM1 (the one you connected serial cable to),
• Data rate: 115200,
• Data: 8 bits,
• Parity: none,
•Stop: 1 bit,
• Flow control: none.
• Activate connection.
3. Connect the IDU to the power supply and wait until the IDU responds with a login:
prompt.
4. To log into the admin user mode type the following:
>Login:<name>
>Password:<password>
The default admin username and password are set to the same value: admin.
To log into the privilege user mode type the following:
>Login:<rootusername>
>Password:<rootpassword>
The default privilege username is root. The default privilege password is
telsimawl.
The Default Password of the privileged user root can be changed.
After successful login, the IDU responds with a BS_bs# prompt. That means you are
ready to enter CLI commands to control the base station. The following sections show
you how to use CLI commands to configure and monitor the base station.

CLI commands to configure and monitor the base station.
To log out use the following command:
>enable#exit
>C:\
Exiting from telnet CLI prompt as described above ends the active telnet
session.
CLI is used to access the Base Station software from a configuration and monitoring
perspective. CLI is divided into different modes; the commands available to you at any
given time depend on the mode you are currently in. Entering a question mark (?) at
the CLI prompt allows you to obtain a list of further command nodes available based
on the sequence of command nodes or parameters entered.
2-6 Harris Stratex Networks
Chapter 2. Getting Started
Understanding Command Modes
When you log in to the CLI as an administrative user, you are in administrative
command mode, while when you log in as privilege user, you are in privilege command
mode respectively. Administrative user mode contains only a limited subset of
commands. If you are already logged in as an administrative user and want to have
access to all commands, you must enter the privileged command mode by using enable
command which authenticates the privileged user password. From the privileged
command mode you can issue any command - administrative or privileged mode - or
you can enter global configuration mode. Commands are not saved when the base
station system reboots.
The table below describes the different user levels and the associated description on the
node accessibility (access privileges are in the increasing order).
Table 2-4. BS System Users Privilege Categories
Configuration modes enable you to create/re-create the running configuration file. The
generated running configuration file can be saved to the startup configuration file,
these commands in the startup configuration files are executed when the system is
rebooted to configure the system to pre-reboot state. Please refer to Managing
Configuration Files and Software on page 4-5 for more details.
To enter specific configuration modes, you must start at global configuration mode.
From global configuration mode, you can enter a different configuration mode, for
example, interface configuration mode by entering node name “interface” and an
interface specific node name, for example, “fastethernet”, “wimax” etc. Refer to
Appendix B for further details.
The table below describes how to access and exit various common command modes of
the CLI. It also shows examples of the prompts displayed for each mode.

Configuring TDD Scheduler
TDD scheduler allows you to set dynamic configuration of the adaptive state of the split
of the TDD frame between the uplink and the downlink. When adaptive split is enabled,
the sub-frame sizes are dynamically adapted to the load if each link, and the split
parameter specifies the equilibrium point when both links are under congestion. When
disabled, the sizes of the downlink and uplink sub-frames are constant and are defined
by the split parameter. A static split is useful for BWA, when reusing a single frequency.
A dynamic split results in better bandwidth use.

Appendix A. Connection Request
Signaling
General
The Connection request signaling feature refers to the overall Base Station capability to
switch each subscriber’s connection to the appropriate controller entity - a Harris
Stratex Networks Provisioning Server (PS) or a 3rd party ASN-GW.
Operating Modes
Supporting this capability requires the Base Station to operate in one of the following
modes:
The dynamic mode and the ability to activate the right mode based on configuration are
now available.
In Dynamic Mode, the connection request signaling software maintains per
subscriber state to determine the subscriber connection mode throughout the lifetime
for the subscriber. The table below outlines the per-subscriber connection mode
when the BS Connection Mode is “Dynamic”:
BS
Connection
Mode
How to
activate this
mode
Subscriber connection status
Statis-PS Configure and
enable a PS
trap receiver.
All subscribers entering either PMPf/Sector are
provisioned via the HSX Provisioning server.
Static-ASN Configure and
enable an
ASN-GW.
All subscribers entering either PMPF/Sector are
provisioned via the 3rd party NWG standards
compliant ASN gateway.
Dynamic Configure and
enable both
the PS trap
receiver and
the ASN-GW.
Base Station software determines connection
status for each subscriber by examining incoming
subscriber MAC messages and switching the
connection to an appropriate control plane.
None No PS trap
receiver or
ASN-GW is
enabled.
Subscriber connection requests are denied when
SBC MAC message arrives over the air. This mode
is provided as a safety mechanism with the
introduction of this feature.
A-2 Harris Stratex Networks
Appendix A. Connection Request Signaling
Changing the Base Station connection mode at run-time impacts the feature and the
following user actions are needed to be taken when you are switching between modes.
If future software releases the requirement to reboot the sectors on a
Base Station connection mode change would be relaxed.

messages:
• EAP authentication capability in SBC-REQ
• Handover ranging indicated in RNG-REQ
• Idle mode capability (e.g. Location Update) indicated in
RNG-REQ
Dynamic-PS Absence of the above features. Note:
• This automatically qualifies all HSX 16e Fixed modems’
connection mode to be switched to the Provisioning Server
because they don’t exhibit the above capabilities.
• A mobile modem like a Quanta PC card or USB dongle can also
be used with the Provisioning Server provided the above
features are disabled via the modem management console or
GUI.
