PLEASE READ THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
RF Energy Health Hazard
The radio equipment described in this guide uses radio frequency transmitters. Although
the power level is low, the concentrated energy from a directional antenna may pose a health
hazard. Do not allow people to come in within 20cm to the front of the antenna while the
transmitter is operating.
Protection from Lightning
Article 810 of the US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996 specifies
that radio and television lead-in cables must have adequate surge protection at or near the point
of entry to the building. The code specifies that any shielded cable from an external antenna
must have the shield directly connected to a 10 AWG wire that connects to the building ground
electrode.

2 Document Overview
This document covers technical specifications and configuration information for the ABAccess system. It also covers some general troubleshooting steps to resolve issues that may
occur while configuring or deploying the AB-Access system. This document should only be used
as a reference for the 5.1.6 EMS and 5.1.5 or newer System Software.

3 AB-Access Overview
3.1 Topologies
There are three topologies that are available with the AB-Access units CLIP, 1483
Bridging, and Native ATM. There are several configuration variations within these topologies but
all will be referred by these names with an extension.
3.1.1
CLIP (RFC 1577)
CLIP stands for Classical IP and is a routed topology. The AP or SU acts as a standard
Layer 3 IP router, which means when data comes into the unit it analyzes the IP header and
sends it out one of its interfaces based on the information in the header and its routing tables. It
is important to note that only IP traffic can be passed over the units in this configuration.
3.1.2
1483 Bridging (RFC 1483)
1483 Bridging is a Layer 2 bridge, which will pass any valid Ethernet frame regardless of
protocol. 1483 is also referred to as MPoA (Multi-protocol over ATM). The basic concept of how
the bridge works is simple. It has two tables one for the terrestrial interface and one for the
wireless interface. The terrestrial table stores all source MAC address it has learned from the
terrestrial interface. It learns the MAC addresses by storing the source MAC address of any
packet that has originated from a device on its terrestrial interface. If a packet is received that
has a destination MAC address that is already in the table it will be discarded. The reason for
this is if the destination MAC address is in the table it must mean that the device with that MAC
address is on the terrestrial side of the radio. The wireless table works in the same manor
except it learns the source MAC address of packets that have been received from the wireless
interface. It is important to note that all broadcast packets will be sent over the link. It is also
important to note that the implementation of 1483 bridging that the AB-Access system uses is
LLC/SNAP encapsulation and we do not support the VC multiplexing implementation.
3.1.3
Native ATM
Native ATM is a mode where both the AP and the SU act as an ATM switch. In this
mode ATM cells are simply passed through the switching layer of the radio at layer 2. It is
important to note that the AB-Access radio only supports PVC and not SVC.
3.1.4
PPPoA (RFC 2364)
PPPoA is no longer supported.

4 AB-Access Reference Model
The diagram below is the architectural reference model for this document. Depending
upon the required architecture, certain layers of this model may or may not be used.
Please note that both the wireless and terrestrial interfaces have access to all of the
functions of the unit. This is designed to allow the reader to understand where an incoming
service is terminating and where its configuration is managed. Management files (on Flashfs)
for each layer are as follows:
All: system.conf
Routing Layer: resolve
Bridging Layer: resolve, initbridge, initmr1483 or initr1483
Switching Layer: initswitchcli
An E or A will indicate the Terrestrial interface type below the interface at the corner. As
an example, the diagram above shows an SU (on the left) with an Ethernet terrestrial interface
and an AP (on the right) with an ATM interface. The Wireless interface is always ATM.
Additional services/clients such as NAT and/or DHCP will be depicted at the appropriate
interface.

4.1 Subnetting
Subnetting within the AB-Access radios is done in hexadecimal format. There for it is
necessary to know the decimal to hex conversions for commonly used subnets. CIDR notation
is also used to define the subnets in all the diagrams, so refer to the chart below for any
questions on subnetting.

4.2 Peak Cell Rate - PCR
The Peak Cell Rate is policing not pacing, there for it will discard all cells received over
the limit and not buffer them. This means the cells will be have to be retransmitted via an upper
layer protocol. To calculate the Peak Cell Rate you simply divide the desired bandwidth by the
number of bits in an ATM cell. An ATM cell is 53 bytes consisting of a 5-byte header and a 48byte payload. In the following example, the PCR for a 1 Megabit circuit is calculated. PCR
values are rounded to the nearest integer.
1024000 bps/(48 bytes-per-cell*8 bits-per-byte) = 2667
The following table lists PCR values for several, common data rates.

The CLIP_T configuration is when both the AP and SU are setup as routers. This means
that when data arrives on any interface it is analyzed at layer 3 and based on the destination IP
address is forwarded out the proper interface.

Troubleshooting
AP Object
If the AP will not register make sure all the fields in the EMS database are correctly filled
in. Here are a few important points that should be kept in mind if the AP doesn’t register.
1.
See if you can ping the unit. The default configuration is to have the AP receive a
DHCP address from the CS. If it has not received it you will not be able to ping it. So if you are
unable to ping the AP you should check and see that the dhcpd.conf file is setup properly. Notice
that in the example AP1 has a fixed address set, each AP must be given the same address every

time it leases an address. It is important to be aware that by default most routers will not pass
DHCP request unless they are specifically configured to do so.
#eth0
subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
range 192.168.2.34 192.168.2.50;
option routers 192.168.2.33;
host AP1 {
hardware ethernet 0:c0:69:0c:52:2f;
fixed-address 192.168.2.50;
For various reasons it may be desired to not use DHCP to give an AP an address. In this
case the IP address can be statically assigned to the unit. To do this you will need to create a
resolve file that looks identical to the CLIP_T static resolve file described in the section for
Static 1483_T.
2.
Make sure the MAC address is correct. Without the correct MAC address the AP
can not register. You can verify this by tailing the adapcs.log file. In this example an SU with the
indicated MAC address is trying to register and is not found in the database. Either the SU was
not added to the EMS or was entered with the wrong MAC address.
[root@cs1 /root]# tail -f /var/log/adapcs.log

6.1.2.2
SU Object
If the SU will not register make sure all the fields in the EMS database are filled in
properly. Here are a few important points that should be kept in mind if the SU doesn’t register.
Many different things can cause the SU not to register so after verifying all of these points and it
still doesn’t register the next step will be to troubleshoot the RF link. See RF troubleshooting
document.
1.
Make sure the MAC address is correct. Without the correct MAC address the AP
can not register. You can verify this by tailing the adapcs.log file. In this example an SU with
this MAC address is trying to register and is not found in the database, which means when you
created the object it had the wrong MAC address.

Troubleshooting
6.2.3.1
Can’t ping the radio from the terrestrial interface
1.
Check all physical connections. The radio is a network device, which means if
you connect it to a PC (NIC) you will use a straight-through cable. To connect the radio to a
network device (hub, switch, router) use an Ethernet cross-over cable (1-3, 2-6). It is also
important to check that the cable is punched down correctly in the wall box and that the cable is
terminated correctly at the radio.
The termination at the radio uses 568B
(wo,o,wg,bl,wbl,g,wbr,br).
2.
Make sure the computer you are pinging from is on the same network as the AP.
If you are on a different network than the radio make sure you have the proper routes in the
radio and the computer you are trying to ping from.

Troubleshooting
6.4.4.1
Can’t ping the radio from the terrestrial interface
1.
Check all physical connections. The radio is a network device, which means if
you connect it to a PC (NIC) you will use a straight-through cable. To connect the radio to a
network device (hub, switch, router) use an Ethernet cross-over cable (1-3, 2-6). It is also
important to check that the cable is punched down correctly in the wall box and that the cable is
terminated correctly at the radio.
The termination at the radio uses 568B
(wo,o,wg,bl,wbl,g,wbr,br).
2.
Make sure the computer you are pinging from is on the same network as the AP.
If you are on a different network than the radio make sure you have the proper routes in the
radio and the computer you are trying to ping from.
6.4.4.2
Can’t ping across the wireless link
There are numerous reason why you couldn’t ping across the wireless link. After
following these troubleshooting steps and you still can’t ping across the wireless link refer to the
RF troubleshooting document.
1.
Check that SU has the proper MID.

7 CLIP_S
The CLIP_S configuration is when the AP acts as an ATM switch and the SU acts as a
router. This means that the AP will pass ATM cells at layer 2, and the SU will act as a router
analyzing all data at layer 3 and based upon destination IP address forward the data out the
proper interface.
In static mode you can configure the management traffic in either routed or a switched
configuration. Each section describes the pros and cons of each configuration so you can
decide which is best for your network.

1.
Make sure the MAC address is correct. Without the correct MAC address the AP
can not register. You can verify what MAC address the AP is attempting to register with by
tailing the adapcs.log file. In the following example an AP is trying to register and is not found in
the database, which means when you created the object it had the wrong MAC address.
[root@cs1 /root]# tail -f /var/log/adapcs.log
CS[5025.8192](16Dec 12:36:03.027 ): AtmAccessPointImpl: Unknown ATM AP 00c0690c522f trying to register
2.
The management address must be on the same subnet as the atm0 interface on the
Control Server.
3.
Check that the PVCs are mapped correctly in the switch. Since the problem is
with the AP registering, pay close attention to how the registration PVC (61) and management
PVC are mapped.

1.
Check all physical connections. The radio is a network device, which means if
you connect it to a PC (NIC) you will use a straight cable. If you connect the radio to a network
device (hub, switch, router) you will use a Ethernet cross-over cable(1-3, 2-6). It is also
important to check that the cable is punched down correctly in the wall box and the cable is
terminated correctly at the radio. The termination at the radio uses 568B
(wo,o,wg,bl,wbl,g,wbr,br).
2.
Make sure the computer you are pinging from is on the same network as the AP.
If you are on a different network than the radio make sure you have the proper routes in the radio
and the computer you are trying to ping from.

8 Hybrid CLIP_S
The Hybrid CLIP_S configuration is a configuration that can be added onto an existing
CLIP_S static configuration. What this configuration allows you to do is create a VPN type
tunnel between two SUs across a network. This allows for two data paths: one to another private
network, and another to the internet. This can be done with either a switched or routed
management system.

The 1483_T configuration is where both the AP and the SU act as a layer 2 bridge. It is
important to understand that in this configuration data can only go from SU-AP & AP-SU within
the sector. Data will not be able to from SU-SU within the same sector. This can only be done
by connecting a router to the AP and redirecting that traffic back to the AP.

Troubleshooting
AP Object
If the AP will not register make sure all the fields in the EMS database are correctly filled
in. Here are a few important points that should be kept in mind if the AP doesn’t register.
1.
See if you can ping the unit. The default configuration is to have the AP receive a
DHCP address from the CS. If it has not received it you will not be able to ping it. So if you are
unable to ping the AP you should check and see that the dhcpd.conf file is setup properly. Notice
that in the example AP1 has a fixed address set, each AP must be given the same address every
time it leases an address. It is important to be aware that by default most routers will not pass
DHCP request unless they are specifically configured to do so.

host AP1 {
hardware ethernet 0:c0:69:0c:52:2f;
fixed-address 192.168.3.9;
For various reasons it may be desired to not use DHCP to give an AP an address. In this
case the IP address can be statically assigned to the unit. To do this you will need to create a
resolve file that looks identical to the 1483_T static resolve file described in the section for Static
1483_T.
2.
Make sure the MAC address is correct. Without the correct MAC address the AP
can not register. You can verify this by tailing the adapcs.log file. In this example an SU with the
indicated MAC address is trying to register and is not found in the database. Either the SU was
not added to the EMS or was entered with the wrong MAC address.

SU Object
If the SU will not register make sure all the fields in the EMS database are filled in
properly. Here are a few important points that should be kept in mind if the SU doesn’t register.
Many different things can cause the SU not to register so after verifying all of these points and it
still doesn’t register the next step will be to troubleshoot the RF link. See RF troubleshooting.
1.
Make sure the MAC address is correct. Without the correct MAC address the AP
can not register. You can verify this by tailing the adapcs.log file. In this example an SU with
this MAC address is trying to register and is not found in the database, which means when you
created the object it had the wrong MAC address.

Troubleshooting
Can’t ping the radio from the terrestrial interface.
1.
Check all physical connections. The radio is a network device, which means if
you connect it to a PC (NIC) you will use a straight cable. If you connect the radio to a network
device (hub, switch, router) you will use a Ethernet cross-over cable(1-3, 2-6). It is also
important to check that the cable is punched down correctly in the wall box and the cable is
terminated correctly at the radio. The termination at the radio uses 568B
(wo,o,wg,bl,wbl,g,wbr,br).
2.
Make sure the computer you are pinging from is on the same network as the AP.
If you are on a different network than the radio make sure you have the proper routes in the radio
and the computer you are trying to ping from.

1.
Check all physical connections. The radio is a network device, which means if
you connect it to a PC (NIC) you will use a straight cable. If you connect the radio to a network
device (hub, switch, router) you will use a Ethernet cross-over cable(1-3, 2-6). It is also
important to check that the cable is punched down correctly in the wall box and the cable is
terminated correctly at the radio. The termination at the radio uses 568B
(wo,o,wg,bl,wbl,g,wbr,br).
2.
Make sure the computer you are pinging from is on the same network as the AP.
If you are on a different network than the radio make sure you have the proper routes in the radio
and the computer you are trying to ping from.

1.
Check all physical connections. The radio is a network device, which means if
you connect it to a PC (NIC) you will use a straight cable. If you connect the radio to a network
device (hub, switch, router) you will use a Ethernet cross-over cable(1-3, 2-6). It is also
important to check that the cable is punched down correctly in the wall box and the cable is
terminated correctly at the radio.
The termination at the radio uses 568B
(wo,o,wg,bl,wbl,g,wbr,br).
2.
Make sure the computer you are pinging from is on the same network as the AP.
If you are on a different network than the radio make sure you have the proper routes in the radio
and the computer you are trying to ping from.

13 RF Design and Planning
13.1 Overview
The AB-Access system is a communications system using wireless technology in the UNII & ISM frequency bands. Therefore understanding Radio Frequency (RF) system design is
necessary to ensure gook link quality and, thus, good system performance. This section discusses
the basics of RF Design and Planning from the perspective of deploying the AB-Access System.
13.2 The U-NII & ISM Channel Plan
In 1997 the FCC amended its Part 15 rules to make 300 MHz of spectrum available for
high-speed wireless digital communications with unlicensed operation. This band, called the
Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure or U-NII band, provides the spectrum at 5.15 to
5.25 GHz for indoor use, and 5.25 to 5.35 and 5.725 to 5.825 GHz for outdoor use. The peak
output power permitted is limited to 23 dBm EIRP in the lower (indoor) band, 30 dBm in the
mid-band, and 36 dBm in the upper band.
The 5.8 GHz ISM (Industrial Scientific and Medical) band ranges from 5.725-5.850 GHz.
Which is an unlicensed frequency limited to 36 dBm for PTMP equipment. The limit for PTP is
higher than PTMP.
NOTE: AB-Access uses both the U-NII and ISM band for its upper band channels.
NOTE: BPSK modulation is only approved by the FCC for the upper band
channels.
13.3 Air Interface
The SU talks to the AP over a proprietary airlink protocol on a single 15 MHz channel
using QPSK or BPSK modulation and a technique called Time Division Duplex (TDD). Both
upstream and downstream traffic time-share this channel.

When data is sent over the wireless link it must first be put into a structure that each end

Access Point Turnaround Time (ATT)
AB-Access system is TDD (Time Division Duplexing), meaning that the AP and SUs
transmit and receive on the same frequency. It is therefore necessary to have a small delay
between the transmit and receive processes, because it is using the same hardware to perform
both functions.
13.4.1.2
Frame Descriptor Header (FDHDR)
Downstream bursts begin with a Frame Descriptor Header (FDHDR) this portion of the
MAC frame is seen by all SUs in that sector. The FDHDR contains a map of all traffic upstream
and downstream, to occur within the MAC frame. This is why you assign a unit a MID, when an
SU sees an FDHDR it looks for its MID in the FDHDR to see if it is going to receive any cells. If
it does not see its MID it will ignore the rest of the frame.
13.4.1.3
Reservation Grant (RG)
The next field in the downstream burst is the Reservation Grant Response (RGR). An
RGR is a response to an Reservation Grant Request (Upstream Burst). The RGR acknowledges a
request and tells the SU that it can transmit on the upstream burst.

13.4.1.4
5.2
Axxcelera Broadband Wireless
Downstream Acknowledgement (DACK)
The Downstream Acknowledgement (DACK) is an acknowledgement sent from the AP,
which contains bit maps corresponding to the success or failure of individual cells sent to an SU
in the previous frame. If any cells were missed or dropped they will be resent in the next frame.
13.4.1.5
Downstream Data Cells (DCELL)
The Data Cells are the actual ATM cells that contain data. The maximum ATM cells per
frame are 32. The maximum ATM cells that can be sent to an individual SU is 6 per frame.
13.4.1.6
Subscriber Turnaround Time (STT)
AB-Access system is TDD (Time Division Duplexing), meaning that the AP and SUs
transmit and receive on the same frequency. It is therefore necessary to have a small delay
between transmit and receive processes, because it is using the same hardware to perform both
functions. There is also a set delay for each individual SU. This delay in turnaround is to
compensate for propagation delay.
13.4.1.7
Reservation Request (RR)
The Reservation Grant Request (RR) is a request sent by the SU to the AP when it has
data to send. The RGR is a contention based request, meaning it performs like an Ethernet
network were there is no guarantee that it will be received by the AP on the first try. This would
happen when another SU wants to transmit at the same time and would cause a collision. If a
collision occurs the SU will try again until it is acknowledged with a Reservation Grant
Response.
13.4.1.8
Upstream Acknowledgement (UACK)
The Upstream Acknowledgement (UACK) contains bit maps corresponding to the
success or failure of individual cells from an AP. If any cells were missed or dropped they will
be resent in the next frame.
13.4.1.9
Upstream Cell (UCELL/UCELLR)
The UCELL’s are the actual ATM cells that contain data. The maximum ATM cells per
frame are 32. The maximum ATM cells that can be sent to an AP by an individual SU is 6 per
frame. The UCELLR is a data cell that also has a Reservation Grant Request if the SU has more
than 6 data cells to send. The reason for this is so that the SU doesn’t have to contend for another
Reservation Grant in the contention slot.
13.5 Delay Compensation
During the upstream portion of the MAC several SUs transmit in sequence. Since SUs
are separated from the AP by anywhere from 0m to 16km, there is a wide range of propagation
times for the full path for the AP to the SUs and back. In order for the SUs transmissions to

arrive at the AP properly aligned, some active compensation of propagation delay is performed.
An SU must delay compensate before it can transmit data, if it was allowed to transmit without
delay compensating it would confuse the AP because it would be receiving cells out of order.
As you can see in this diagram the dark green portion of the MAC frame represent time
delays.

13.7 TDD (Time Division Duplex)
The AB-Access system uses TDD (Time Division Duplex) to transfer data across the
wireless link as opposed to FDD (Frequency Division Duplex). The AB-Access implementation
of the TDD architecture allows the TDD frame to dynamically vary in size according to the
offered load: short frames when fewer users are sharing the channel, longer frames when there
are many simultaneous users. The TDD guard time is also adaptive, as it is set to round trip
propagation delay to the farthest SU. TDD has a number of advantages over a FDD system.
These include:
•
Spectral Efficiency – TDD can be deployed using less spectrum than a comparable
FDD system. A single TDD channel can be deployed per sector instead of two
channels needed for FDD. Likewise, a multi-cell deployment can be installed using a
total of three RF channels (both polarizations), whereas FDD needs four to six
channels.
•
Complexity – Since each transceiver is wither transmitting or receiving, but never
both at once, a single RF front end can be shared reducing the radio complexity.
•
Power Control – In cellular systems, where channels are reused many times
throughout the system in order to increase capacity, the highest efficiency is realized
when the power in each direction can be minimized. This reduces the amount of
March 10, 2003

Page 132 of 149
U-NII Config & User Guide
5.2
Axxcelera Broadband Wireless
energy that is ‘leaked’ into surrounding areas, which appears as interference. In FDD
systems, it is quite difficult to accurately control the channel’s power since a feedback
path is required. No such path is needed in a TDD system since the same channel is
used in both directions. The SU needs to only measure the received power from the
AP in order to know how much to attenuate its upstream transmission.
•
Channel Efficiency – Because each frame carries upstream and downstream traffic
in proportion to the offered load in each direction, adaptive TDD systems are highly
efficient in its use of bandwidth. FDD systems have to make an estimate of the traffic
mixture and allocate channel bandwidth accordingly. As shown in the chart below,
any variation from this estimate (in this case 15:1 downlink) will result in wasted
bandwidth. This variation is inevitable due to the diurnal variation of business usage
during the daytime hours, residential usage in the afternoon and evening, a varying
mixture of user types according to the geographic location, and an ever-changing set
of user applications.

13.9 Topology Types
To properly deploy the AB-Access System, one must understand the
geographical physical topology. While the real world possibilities are endless, the
following three distinctive geographic topologies will be covered:
•
Macrocells
•
Microcells
•
Picocells
A Macrocell design should be used when you are trying to provide ubiquitous
coverage over a large area. Each cell has many Subscribers. The fundamental limit
in deploying in this manner is usually coverage zone (cell radius) due to U-NII &
ISM EIRP limits, as well as building and terrain obstructions.
A Microcell is normally used when you are trying to provide high density coverage to
a smaller geographic area. Each cell sector has many subscribers per sector. The
fundamental limit in deploying in this manner is co-channel interference due to LOS
interference paths.
A Picocell design normally covers an extremely small geographic area such as a
neighbourhood or a Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU) complex. There are normally
March 10, 2003
Company Confidential
Page 138 of 149
U-NII Config & User Guide
5.2
Axxcelera Broadband Wireless
many sectors and few subscribers per sector. The fundamental limit in deploying in
this manner is Line of Sight (LOS) coverage.
While the above are generalizations, they can be used effectively as a starting point
for developing an RF plan for deployment. However, based upon the specifications
of the AB-Access equipment, it is necessary to have some pre-defined RF coloring
schemes. To better understand the benefits of different coloring schemes, a basic
concept of interference types should be understood.
13.10 Interference Types
There are four distinct types of interference that can occur in a cellular reuse pattern.
Each unique in its geometry and imposes unique frequency reuse constraints.

Type 2 Interference
Downlink to Subscriber Unit
interfered with by a Subscriber Unit
Uplink in another cell. Worst case
scenario is interfering SU at range
(max Tx power), and victim SU at
range (lowest CNR) and SUs facing
each other, e.g. Cells 1 and 3. The
interference is reduced if SUs using
the same frequencies do not face
each other, e.g., Cells 1 and 2.

Downlink. This is only an
issue if sectors using the

Type 4 Interference
Uplink to Access
Point interfered with by a
Subscriber Unit Uplink in
another cell. This is the worst
case of intercell interference,
as one SU, e.g., in Cell 2,
interferes with all the users
on the same frequency and
polarization
in
Cell
(whenever the SU in Cell 2 is
transmitting). As the system
has power control for SUs,
the worst case Type 4
interference will be caused
by SUs deployed at range
and at the edge of their
sector, i.e., in the Access
Point Antenna Cusp.

13.11 Recommended Channel Plans
The following sections will describe some pre-defined coloring schemes that will work in
the U-NII & ISM band with the AB-Access equipment.
13.11.1
Six-Sector, Three-Frequency Plan
This plan is good for Macrocells on relatively flat terrain:
• Use 1 channel guardband/separation between sectors
• Use opposite polarization in opposite directions
• Use 4 meter back-to-back separation (or equivalent isolation)
• Use >1 meter separation between sectors
• Use same frequencies and sector allocations in each cell.

13.12 Antenna Spacing
In most Base Station deployments, multiple APs are placed on a single building or tower.
To minimize AP to AP interference, it is necessary to mount the antennas with proper spacing.
Based on the frequency plan identified, the following minimum spacing shown in the table
below should be maintained.

15 Rupee
There are configurations that are not covered by the upgrade scripts. Even if they are
covered, you will probably want to add settings that are specific to your network. To do this you
can edit the individual files and rupee them to the units. This is not meant to replace the upgrade
script. It is only meant to send individual configuration files to a unit.
You can send individual files from DOS or LINUX; unlike the upgrade scripts. The
reason for this is that the upgrade script is using expect scripting and can only be run from a
Unix based OS. One note about the rupee-dos is that it can only be run be a true DOS based OS
(Win95 or Win98 not NT). NT uses a Virtual DOS Machine (NTVDM) and will not work with
the rupee-dos command.
WARNING
If you rupee a file or files to a unit and do not reboot the unit, and
then rupee another file or files to the unit only the last set of files
will be saved to the flash.
15.1 LINUX
1.
Make sure you can ping the unit that you want to send files to.
2.
Change to the directory that the configuration files are in. The rupee-unix file
must also reside in this directory.
3.
To upload individual files:
./rupee-unix –p atmos –d 2 –r   
Note: You might have to change the permissions on the rupeeunix command using “chmod”
chmod +x ./rupee-unix
15.2 DOS
1.
Make sure you can ping the unit that you want to send files to.
2.
Change to the directory that the configuration files are in. The rupee-unix file
must also reside in this directory.
3.

16 RTFD (Return To Factory Default)
The new Return To Factory Default (RTFD) feature allows IP connectiviey to be
established with units that have unknown or invalid configurations. Using this feature, the ABAccess unit wil adopt a known IP configuration enabling Command Line Interface access via
telnet through the physical Ethernet interface.
Following a restart or power up, the AB-Access/AB-Extender units will listen for 1
second for a proprietary coded UDP packet on their Ethernet interface; adopting the appropriate
IP configurations as indicated below.
If the unit receives the UDP packet, it will retain the active configuration for 30 minutes,
after which the normal start-up procedures will continue with the IP and interface configuration
taken from the unit’s Flash files. If during the 30 minute period, a subsequent coded UDP packet
is received, the timeout will be restarted.
NOTE
On Windows 2K and XP you may need to disable the auto media sense. Some NICs will be
capable of disabling this feature from their configuration parameters. If this option is not
available on your NIC you will have to add a registry entry. Axxcelera has created a reg
edit that can be installed by simply double clicking on the media-sense.reg file. Or you can
enter the following register key via regedit.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"DisableDHCPMediaSense"=dword:00000001

16.2 Recover
To supply the coded UDP packet the “recover” utility is provided with the system software in
two forms.
recover-dos.exe - For use with a DOS prompt under Microsoft Windows.

U-NII Config & User Guide
5.2
Axxcelera Broadband Wireless
Recover-unix - For use with Linux installations utilizing glibc 2.1.3.
16.3 Procedure to restore the default configuration
1.
Connect a PC (Windows or Linux) to the wallbox of the unit, ensuring that
there is appropriate connectivity at the physical and IP levels.
2.
Start the recovery utility. A sequence of dots will be displayed to indicate
successful network transmissions.
[root@temp SU_TEMPLATE]# ./recover-unix ethernet
SU/AP recovery client
……………………………..
3.
Restart the AB-Access unit.
4.
When the recover utility terminates, the AB-Access unit has been successfully
configured and can be contacted over the physical interface via a telnet session.
5.
It is best to do a full system upgrade after a unit has been recovered to a state
that IP connectivity is regained. This will insure the unit will function properly
once redeployed.
16.4 Disabling the RTFD Feature
RTFD can be disabled by writing a file to flash with the name “no_rtfd”. The file must be
a text file; i.e. only containing ASCII characters. A suggested first line for the file is “disable
RTFD” – though the actual content of the file will not be referenced: only the presence or
absence of the file is significant.
