1 X-1200 System Overview
Figure 1 BLiNQ X-1200 System in a Wireless Backhaul Application
BLiNQ Networks is a pioneer of next-generation wireless backhaul solutions that feature intelligent
systems capable of adapting to the radio frequency environment to maximise capacity and
performance.
The BLiNQ X-1200 system operates in the sub 6 GHz licensed frequency bands and are designed for NonLine-of-Sight (NLOS) operation by incorporating advanced Physical Layer (PHY) and Media Access Control
(MAC) layer algorithms and techniques. BLiNQ Networks has developed proprietary interference
mitigation algorithms and incorporated self-organizing network techniques into its solutions to increase
capacity and reliability beyond that of ordinary backhaul solutions. This is because in a NLOS
environment, interference and shadowing are the two main reasons that limit capacity and link
reliability. Mitigating interference and enhancing signal reliability maximizes system performance.
The X-1200 system delivers 11 bps/Hz spectral efficiency. The system is designed for use in multiple
applications that includes mobile backhaul, optical fibre cable extension and corporate and enterprise
data backhaul services by providing up to 440 Mbps of throughput in dual 2x20 MHz channels.
The X-1200 system operates in the licensed Time Division Duplexing (TDD) bands including 3.6 – 3.70
GHz band in both Point-to-Point (PTP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) configurations. Other supported
frequency bands include 5.725 – 5.825 GHz. Some of the main product characteristics are shown in
Table 1. The X-1200 system incorporates Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology and
operates at high Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) rates to provide high capacity. In addition, the
product incorporates BLiNQ’s interference management techniques which include multiple power
control algorithms to maximize performance in dense networks.
The X-1200 system using a 10 MHz channel employs a large number of sub-carriers (1024) which helps
optimize bandwidth use. A large number of sub-carriers yield a long symbol time because the minimum
symbol time is inversely proportional to the sub-carrier bandwidth. Transmitted signals are subject to
time delay dispersion because of multiple paths. While the most direct path might involve no
reflections, other paths involve one or more thus presenting the signal with longer path lengths and
hence longer transit times. To prevent interference between successive symbols due to this dispersion,

a gap called the cyclic prefix (or guard time) is added to each symbol. Dispersion dictates a cyclic prefix
length of about 3-5 µsec in urban areas where small cells are deployed. For short symbol times on the
order of a few µsec the added cyclic prefix would substantially cut into the useful bandwidth. For the
longer symbol times used by the X-1200 system the cyclic prefix is only a small fraction of the total
bandwidth.

2 X-1200 System Description
The BLiNQ X-1200 system meets the requirements of network operators for high capacity and reliability
in small cell base station backhaul applications, as well as in a number of other applications. The system
can function either as Point-to-Point (PTP) or Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) wireless Ethernet bridge
equipment. Some of the main product characteristics follow.
Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) Physical Layer: This includes 1024 subcarriers (data, pilot and guard-band). The OFDMA physical layer coupled with multiple antenna
technology provides robust performance in a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environment.
Figure 4 X-1200 System 1024 Sub-Carrier OFDM Physical Layer
Time Division Duplex (TDD): The X-1200 system features TDD access mode with variable frame length
(user selectable 3.1251 and 5 msec). The TDD frame includes the downlink and uplink sub-frames. Each
subframe includes a number of OFDM symbols which are assigned to different Remote Backhaul
Modules (RBMs). The length of each sub-frame determines the traffic ratio for downlink and uplink
traffic and is a user settable parameter. Multiple settings are possible: 50:50, 65:35, 75:25, 35:65 and
25:75 downlink to uplink ratio.
Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO): The X-1200 system features spatial multiplexing on two
antennas (2x2) for high capacity.
Adaptive Modulation with Link Adaptation: The X-1200 system supports QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM and
256QAM on both the downlink and uplink path to achieve high capacity in limited channel bandwidth
(83 Mbps2 Ethernet layer throughput in a 10 MHz channel for combined downlink and uplink traffic).
Intelligent Interference Management: The X-1200 system implements the BLiNQ proprietary Managed
Adaptive Resource Allocation (MARA) algorithm to identify the links with highest interference in the
backhaul network and to manage the transmission of backhaul nodes to eliminate interference. The
MARA algorithm improves capacity and link reliability. It also reduces the operational and capital costs
associated with site design, deployment and optimization activities as interference is automatically
identified and mitigated, thereby reducing the design and optimization effort required from RF
engineers and field technicians.
Not supported in current release.
Total of 71.5 Mbps throughput is in effect in current release.

Backhaul Self-Organizing Networks: The X-1200 system periodically characterizes the Radio Frequency
(RF) environment in the backhaul network to account for changes such as deployment of new sites or
changes that affect interference (for example, foliage, variation between seasons, new building
construction). The measurements, termed RF Environment Characterization (RFEC), are typically
scheduled by the operator to run at a certain time of the day and used in MARA/power control
algorithms.
Power Control: The X-1200 system incorporates power control on both the downlink and uplink streams
to minimize interference at physical layer and maximize capacity. Two types of power control are
implemented: link level and network level. Link-level power control optimizes the power for a certain
link to meet its capacity requirements, whereas network-level power control optimizes link power based
on network level constraints to maximize network performance.
Antennas: The X-1200 Remote Backhaul Modules (RBMs) integrate a specially designed slant-45 crosspolarized antenna to reduce interference and provide high co-polar isolation between the two branches.
For example, the sidelobe level in the azimuthal plane is 8 dB below European Telecommunications
Standards Institute (ETSI) Directory Number (DN) 4and 5 mask requirements and 15 dB below ETSI DN 2
mask requirements.
Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) with Dynamic Bandwidth Sharing (DBS): The X-1200 system can operate in
PTP or PMP configurations with up to four RBMs. The capacity allocated to each RBM is variable
according to subscriber requirements (for example, compact base station). This feature is known as
Dynamic Bandwidth Sharing (DBS) and works to allocate additional capacity to RBMs experiencing a
surge in throughput demand from modules that are have excess capacity to spare.

Quality of Service (QoS): Two levels of QoS are defined in the X-1200 system for traffic classification:
Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS) and Best Effort (BE). Through service-level agreements (SLAs),
customers can subscribe to the service class desired for their application.
Service Class
Description
UGS
Unsolicited Grant Service
Provides real-time data streams that are comprised of fixedsize data packets issued at periodic intervals.
BE
Best Effort
No guaranteed minimum throughput. For data streams for
which no minimum service level is required and therefore
may be handled on a space-available basis.
Traffic Classification: Ethernet traffic is classified based on Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) tag and
mapped according to the associated service class type. Payloads may also be classified by Layer 2 (L2)
Media Access Control (MAC) source and destination address, 802.1p/Q settings, Differentiated Services
Code Point (DSCP) and Type of Service (ToS) bits, Layer 3 (L3) IP source and destination address, and
Layer 4 (L4) Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number.
QinQ/1802.1ad is supported. Traffic ‘hairpinning’ at the HM automatically forwards traffic addressed to
one RBM to a peer RBM.
Multiple Frame Size: The X-1200 system supports Ethernet frame sizes up to 2016 bytes.
Security: The X-1200 system uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption mode with 256-bit
key.
Form Factor: The all-outdoor, zero-footprint Hub Module (HM) and RBMs are built to IPX2 requirements
for operation in tough environments with the capability to handle large variations in temperature from
extreme cold to extreme heat.
High-level of Integration: The X-1200 systems are highly integrated and include:

The RBM which integrates a high-gain 17 dBi antenna. The RBM derives its synchronization from the
Hub Module.

The HM which integrates a complete Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna and receiver with
high holdover (10 minutes). Therefore, no additional synchronization module is required for the
X-1200 system, which reduces the total cost of ownership of the solution while simplifying and
accelerating installation.
The X-1200 system is small in size (31x21x8 cm) and low in weight (3.5 kg) so it easily mounts on the
network operator’s existing tower assets. The small size and weight allows quick deployment of the
RBMs at customer premises in different enterprise/corporate data backhaul applications or other types
of industrial and commercial applications.
All modules offer a standard RJ45 Ethernet port, while the Hub Module offers optional optical
connectivity through a field-installable SFP optical transceiver module.
The BLiNQ X-1200 system also provides the following network management features:

Fault and Performance Management: The X-1200 system incorporates fault and performance
management through a standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)v2c/v3 interface.
For this BLiNQ provides its Management Information Base (MIB) to network operators for
integration into existing third-party managing applications such as element/network management
systems (EMSs/NMSs), thereby providing access to key information on X-1200 service availability
and performance.


Configuration Management: BLiNQ products minimize the configuration effort by the network
operator. For example, when deployed in the field, the X-1200 system can obtain its IP address
through DHCP rather than have it statically assigned by the user. Further, the X-1200 system
provides a web-based configuration tool called the X-1200 WebUI and a standard Command Line
Interface (CLI) that run directly on the X-1200 equipment.

Software Upgrade: BLiNQ products are field upgradeable through remote download and activation
of software release upgrades.

3.3 Integrated RBM Antenna Performance
The Remote Backhaul Module (RBM) features a high-gain antenna that has very low side lobes (-30 dBc)
to minimize interference. This allows greater scalability of deployment of BLiNQ X-1200 system modules
in a market and allows smaller frequency reuse factor for higher spectrum utilizationHigh gain (17 dBi)
and directivity (narrow horizontal beamwidth of 22 degrees) work to increase system gain and reduce
the interference transmitted and received at angles away from the boresight of the antenna. This is
critical for small cell mobile backhaul applications as the backhaul network is interference limited. It also
works to increase the range in other types of applications where distance is the overriding factor.

3.4 Optional Cavity Filters
Sharp roll-off cavity filters that comply with European Communications Committee (ECC)
Recommendation (04)05 and Wireless Communication Services (WCS) band spectral-mask requirements
can be optionally fitted into the product enclosure to provide very high isolation to adjacent bands.
The cavity filters are provisioned into the product mechanical enclosure to maintain a compact form
factor for deployment on poles and other light infrastructure assets.
3.5 System Enclosure
The enclosure for both the Hub and RBM is a rugged IPX2 casing supplied with an optional mounting
bracket with both horizontal and vertical tilt capabilities to mount the unit on towers, poles, and
building side walls. These cases allow for full flexibility in the range of orientation to establish best
connectivity between the Hub and RBMs.

The mechanical enclosure for the HM has two RF port connectors for an external user-defined sectored
antenna. There are two connectors on the back of the HM: a -48 VDC power connector, and an RJ45
connector for 1000 BaseT copper Ethernet network connectivity. An optional Small Form-factor
Pluggable (SFP) fiber connector for optical Gigabit Ethernet network connectivity can also be installed in
the field. An integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna is on the top (flat square patch).
Therefore, there is no need for additional synchronization equipment which reduces total cost of
ownership.
Note: The copper Ethernet interface on the HM has priority over the fiber optical Gigabit Ethernet
interface. If, for example, an on-site technician connects to the HM locally by the copper interface while
the HM is providing network services to its users through the fiber interface, the fiber interface is then
disabled and taken out of service. Network service through the fiber interface is restored when the
copper interface is disconnected.
The RBM is the exact same size and dimension as the HM. It differs in that the antenna is integrated;
hence there are no external RF connectors. Also, the RBM does not include an integrated GPS antenna
as synchronization is available from the HM. There is also no provision for an SFP fiber connector.

4 System Synchronization
The X-1200 system is a Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) radio system. Therefore, X-1200 networks
require proper synchronization of the air interface to provide optimal service. The X-1200 system
provides flexible synchronization options as well as providing a high-performance extension to existing
synchronization networks which delivers quality clock services to downstream devices such as smallcells.
The Hub Module (HM) synchronizes the X-1200 system using one of two standard synchronization
mechanisms: Global Positioning System (GPS) or IEEE 1588v21.
When configured to synchronize via GPS, the X-1200 system uses its internal GPS antenna and receiver
module to synchronize to the GPS network. This allows all X-1200 HMs deployed in the network to
accurately synchronize their transmit and receive operations on the air interface. The GPS system also
allows the X-1200 system to determine accurate time of day and date information. This time
information together with a user configured time zone setting is used to tell time across the system and
is essential in functions such as fault management (for example, event and alarm time stamping) and
historical performance (for example, performance indicator processing and performance file creation).
The HM automatically transmits time information to any Remote Backhaul Module (RBM) associated to
that HM.
When configured to synchronize on IEEE 1588v2, the X-1200 system synchronizes to IEEE 1588v2 master
clocks deployed on the operator network. The HM can either be configured to use a specific master
clock (by providing the master clock identity) or can perform the standard Best Master Clock (BMC)1
Algorithm to select the best available master clock on the network. Just like GPS, the IEEE 1588v2
infrastructure allows the HM to precisely synchronize its air interface. It also provides accurate time of
day information.
The X-1200 system includes a high performance crystal oscillator that allows it to maintain its clock
properties (Holdover) even if the primary clock reference (that is, GPS or IEEE 1588v2) is no longer
available. The system provides a Holdover period of 10 minutes. During this time the radio is operational
and the system attempts to recover its primary clock source. If the clock source has not been reacquired
after the Holdover period expires, the system is deemed “Not synchronized” and therefore ceases radio
operation so as to not interfere with other deployed X-1200 systems.
4.1 Synchronization Services
Based on its high-performance internal synchronization mechanisms, the X-1200 system provides inband synchronization services to downstream devices using the IEEE 1588v2 protocol. The HM and
RBMs include IEEE 1588 capable Ethernet PHY modules that provide accurate hardware based time
stamping, necessary for high-performance synchronization applications.
The X-1200 system supports two operating modes for synchronization services, depending on the
primary clock reference used at the HM (that is, GPS or IEEE 1588v2.).
In the first mode, the HM uses the GPS as its primary clock reference. Based on the intrinsic
synchronized nature of the HM to RBM protocol, the clock reference is accurately transported to the

RBM and therefore the entire cluster implements the behavioral requirements of an IEEE 1588v2 master
clock. The X-1200 system allows the configuration of the main IEEE 1588v2 master clock parameters
such as transport protocol and messaging intervals.
X-1200 System
Figure 8 System Synchronization through GPS
In the second mode, the HM is configured to synchronize using the IEEE 1588v2 network, making the
X-1200 cluster effectively behave as an IEEE 1588v2 boundary clock. The system provides master clock
services at the RBM Ethernet port, and advertises itself as a boundary clock that uses the same
grandmaster clock as the HM parent clock. In this mode, all upstream IEEE 1588 messaging is dropped at
the HM.

5 System Throughput Performance
The X-1200 system uses time division duplexing (TDD) access mode, employing a single frequency for
both transmit and receive paths. The throughput for the downlink and uplink depends on several usersettable parameters such as frame duration or size (3.1251 or 5 ms), downlink-to-uplink frame
bandwidth ratio (option of 50:50 or 65:35), and the number of Remote Backhaul Modules (RBMs)
connected to a Hub Module (HM). Furthermore, the system throughput depends on the Modulation and
Coding Scheme (MCS) and whether the Multiple Input Multiple Output-Spatial Multiplexing (MIMO-SM)
mode is active, both of which vary according to link and signal conditions.
Table 4 shows the maximum link throughput for the X-1200 system assuming 10 MHz channel MIMO
operation which doubles the channel throughput by transmitting two independent code words on each
antenna.
Note: System throughput is set using the X-1200 WebUI Setup Page for the Radio Interface. See section
8.3.4, “Setup - Radio Interface Page” for details.

6 Element and Network Management
Designed to provide comprehensive Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security
(FCAPS) functionality, the X-1200 system uses standard networking protocols and tools that facilitate a
full range of element and network management operations—from local craft configuration, to complex
integration in Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or script-based Network Management
System (NMS) and Operations Support System (OSS) infrastructures.
The X-1200 system supports the following network management Interfaces:

X-1200 Command Line Interface (CLI). Accessible via Secure Shell protocol (SSH), the X-1200 CLI
provides a well-structured command language in an industry standard idiom. The interface allows an
operator (or third-party system) to manipulate the full configuration of the unit and examine state,
performance and fault indicators.

X-1200 Web Interface (WebUI). Accessible via HTTP(S), the X-1200 WebUI provides an interactive
visual toolset that allows an operator to modify the full configuration of the X-1200 system as well
as view state, fault, and performance indicators. The X-1200 WebUI displays performance data using
visual charts, and applications are provided to visualize up to 24 hours of historical performance
data stored on the system.

Community-Based Simple Network Management Protocol version 2 (SNMPv2c) and SNMP version
3 (SNMPv3). The SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 interfaces provide complete access to configuration, state,
performance and fault information in the X-1200 system to allow for high levels of integration in
existing NMS/OSS infrastructure for monitoring, Service Level Agreement (SLA) assurance, and
administrative task automation.

Syslog. The syslog interface allows the X-1200 system to send standard syslog fault management
information (that is, syslog alarms, events, and log entries) from itself to external syslog servers.
All network management interfaces on the X-1200 system are accessible via Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and User Datagram Protocol/IP (UDP/IP). The X-1200 system
provides the following IP addresses for management purposes:

Local Craft IP Address - A fixed, non-routable IP address: 169.254.1.1 which is always accessible
without VLAN encapsulation. This address is always present on both the Hub Modules and Remote
Backhaul Modules (RBMs). You use this address in situations where the Management IP Address
(see below) is not configured or is unavailable, including initial commissioning and field
troubleshooting scenarios. Typically, the Local Craft IP Address is accessed by a technician by
plugging directly into the RJ45 Ethernet port of the module.
Note: The RJ45 port has priority over the optional optical connector on the HM. If the latter is
installed and the operator plugs into the RJ45 port, the fiber connection is disabled as long as the
RJ45 port is active.

Management IP Address - An operator assigned, static or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) IP address used for remote management of the units. Both HMs and RBMs need a
management IP address. For the HM, the management IP Address is accessible from the Ethernet
side of the network, while for the RBM the management IP Address is accessible from the wireless
side (that is, from behind the HM). An operator-configurable Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)
encapsulates all traffic to and from the management IP address.

The X-1200 system provides the following network management functions:

Configuration Management. The system configuration covers several functional areas:

Radio Link Commissioning

Service Flow Provisioning

Bridge Configuration

Security Configuration
All parameters in these areas are accessible via all the network management interfaces described
previously.


Radio Link Commissioning parameters (for example, radio frequency, synchronization, radio
frame size, TDD downlink/uplink ratio, preamble indexes) need to be set before system
deployment and are particular to the RF network of the operator.

Service Flow Provisioning parameters are set on the HM to configure the quality parameters for
the over-the-air service flows provided to RBMs. The system supports either a simple
provisioning model based on a default service flow configuration, or an advanced provisioning
model where service flow parameters can be configured individually for each RBM.

Bridge Configuration parameters control the Ethernet bridge and core network data behavior of
the X-1200 cluster.

Security Configuration parameters allow the operator to secure access or disable specific
management interfaces and perform various unit administrative operations.
Fault Management. The X-1200 system provides fault management service via a comprehensive list
of alarms and events. Some of the potential faults that the system is able to detect and alarm upon
include:

radio and Ethernet link failures

hardware module failures

synchronization faults

software module faults
All alarms and events are relayed to higher level managers via SNMP traps or Syslog. The system
also allows operators to access active alarm and event history information using either the X-1200
CLI or X-1200 WebUI.

Performance Management. The X-1200 system maintains a comprehensive set of performance
counters and indicators to facilitate:

performance monitoring

SLA monitoring

Troubleshooting
The system provides a full set of Ethernet counters at the interface, module, and service flow level,
as well as radio quality indicators at the module level. The system makes all the counters available
as either instantaneous values (via SNMP, CLI or WebUI), or historical performance files. The system
maintains 24 hours of performance data at a 15 minute granularity. Performance files are stored
only on the HM and can be extracted from the system on-demand.

Alternatively, the system can be configured to automatically push these files to an operatorprovided File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server.

Administrative Operations. The X-1200 system provides tools that allow operators to perform
all standard unit administration operations using the provided remote network management
interfaces. The system supports remote software upgrade operations using either a pull
paradigm (that is, the system modules retrieve the software package files from external FTP
servers), or a push scheme using the X-1200 WebUI (that is, the operator uploads a software
package file to the system modules using the X-1200 WebUI). The X-1200 system also supports
remote configuration backups and backup restoration.

7 Ethernet Bridge Support
Designed to seamlessly integrate into existing Ethernet backhaul or general purpose networks, the
X-1200 system is built for Ethernet services and provides network functionality as a standard Layer 2 (L2)
Transparent Bridge (IEEE 802.1d), whereby the X-1200 cluster (a cluster being one Hub Module [HM]
with its group of up to four Remove Backhaul Modules [RBMs]) is the bridge, and the Ethernet ports on
the HM and associated RBMs are the ports of the bridge.
Figure 10 L2 Transparent Bridge Functionality of X-1200 System
The embedded bridge functionality performs Media Access Control (MAC) address learning (up to 4096
MAC addresses). This function allows the HM to perform an optimal allocation of radio resources by
sending traffic to the RBM behind which the destination of that traffic is actually located. In addition, the
X-1200 system provides support for advanced traffic classification and prioritization as part of its service
provisioning model. Service flow definitions can be used to engineer traffic so that specific packets are
either dropped or forwarded under a specific Quality of Service (QoS) provision.
Further, the X-1200 system supports traffic ‘hairpinning’ at the HM—the ability to automatically forward
traffic addressed to one RBM on to another peer RBM without requiring the forwarding decision to be
done on the core network, thereby minimizing latency. This ensures that RBM to RBM traffic is handled
with minimal overhead and facilitates such use cases as inter-base station coordination when the RBMs
serve to connect small cells to a core operator network.
The X-1200 scheduler supports two Classes of Service (CoS): Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS) and Best
Effort (BE). The UGS CoS is for latency sensitive traffic (such as voice) and provides an “always on”
channel that is able to transport designated packets as soon as they arrive in the system. The BE CoS
provides a balanced resource allocation between multiple RBMs in a cluster and ensures radio resource
fairness between them. The X-1200 scheduler contains proprietary optimizations such as CoS
overflow/underflow that allow for an optimal utilization of radio resources in situations where certain
service flows are either under or over loaded beyond their designed capacity.

The X-1200 classification engine allows the operator to define complex classification rules (known as
‘Classifiers’) to further define the scope of service flows using basic Boolean logic constructs and packet
field matching criteria. The following fields are supported:

L2 Ethernet frame fields: source/destination MAC Address with masking options, EtherType, VLAN
(802.1q), S-VLAN, C-VLAN (as per 802.1ad QinQ)

Layer 3 (L3) Internet Protocol (IP) packet fields: source/destination IP address with masking option,
Type of Service (ToS).
The X-1200 system can also provide specialized processing of data traffic at the HM Ethernet port
(towards the core network). The operator can choose to either pass traffic transparently or,
alternatively, encapsulate the data traffic in an L2 tunnel through a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) by
using the stacking VLAN processing scheme. The system also allows network management traffic to be
encapsulated in a dedicated management VLAN.
The X-1200 system can transport standard Ethernet frames (up to 1518 bytes) as well as mini Jumbo
frames of up to 2048 bytes.

interfaces in a real-time, graphical format, and monitor the current download/upload throughput
speeds.
The System Overview page also lists the current alarm information at the bottom.
Note: The blue graph line represents the downlink throughput rate, while the red graph line represents
the uplink throughput rate. The screen refresh interval is every 5 seconds. For system statistics based
on these graphs, see section 6, “

8.3.6 RBMs - General RBM Page
The X-1200 system is a connection-oriented wireless technology. As such, an RBM cannot transmit data
until it has been allocated a channel from its associated Hub Module (HM). This is to provide strong
support for Quality of Service (QoS). Each connection between an RBM and its associated Hub in the
X-1200 system is supported by two or more service flows (at least one in the downlink direction and one
in the uplink direction). The default for each RBM connection in the X-1200 system is one flow in the
downlink direction and one in the uplink direction. Each HM can support up to 16 service flows in the
downlink and uplink direction, respectively, for a total of 32 service flows, while up to four service flows
can be configured per RBM in the downlink and uplink direction, respectively, for a total of eight service
flows.
The RBM and Hub use a service flow with an appropriate QoS class (plus other parameters, such as
priority and classifiers) to ensure that application data receives the QoS treatment appropriate to the
user application. The QoS is supported by allocating each service flow a specific QoS class, of which
there are two in the X-1200 system: Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR), and Best Effort (BE). The GBR class is for
data streams for which the most stringent service scheduling is required, with guarantees on
throughput, latency, and jitter. The BE class is for data streams for which no minimum service level is
required and therefore may be handled on a space-available, no guarantee basis. Classifiers further
define the scope of service flows.
When the X-1200 system starts, it automatically finds all the RBMs connected to it. Through this page
you can make the HM either:

apply the default service flow definition to all RBMs, as set through the RBMs > Default Service
page, by clicking Use Default Service Definition from the list box, or

apply individual service flow definitions to these RBMs on an RBM-by-RBM basis, as set through the
RBMs > RBM List page, by clicking Use Individual Service Definition from the list box
Note: You can only use one RBM provisioning model at a time.
Click Apply for the chosen RBM provisioning model to take effect.

The coupling is a system measurement that indicates the probability of achieving a MIMO link for the
current channel conditions. The system automatically chooses to use SISO mode whenever this value
falls below 5dB.
The interference field provides a reading of the current external interference levels. External
interference is measured in the gaps between the transmission and reception portions of the TDD frame
and is generally caused by other systems present in the same or adjacent channels and which do not
have the same transmission model or air frame structure as the X-1200 system.

indicates the upgrade was unsuccessful. The system restarts again using the old software image. In
this case, select a different version of the new software and repeat this procedure from Step 1.
Note: You can only upgrade the X-1200 system software from one active browser session. This means
you cannot open another browser session and start another upgrade process in parallel with the first. If
you try this, you get a warning message and the system does not let you continue. Further, you must not
close the browser once you start the upgrade. If you do, or if your computer crashes, you must reset the
X-1200 system that was being upgraded and start the upgrade process over.

To log in and access the X-1200 WebUI interface for configuring RBMs:
1. Launch your web browser and set it to allow pop ups for your specific web browser (for instance
Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.). Some screen functions in the X-1200 WebUI require pop
ups.
2. If there is a direct connection to the RBM (that is, not over a network), use your browser to go to
http://169.254.1.1.
3. If connecting locally to the RBM (that is, not over a network), use your browser to connect to the
local Craft IP address of the unit: http://169.254.1.1.
4. If connecting over a network to the RBM (that is, not locally), use your browser to connect to the
management IP address of the RBM—an operator assigned, static or Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) IP address used for remote management of the units. Note, however, that the
management IP address of the RBM is only accessible from behind the HM. Refer to Chapter 6,
“Element and Network Management” for more information.

8.4.4 Setup - Radio Interface Page
Under Radio Settings area, this page handles configuration of the radio operation of the RBM and is the
same page as for Hub, except:

Preamble Series: Enter preamble index value 0 to 31; refer to Chapter 12, Preambles, Flows, and
Network Provisioning for more information on use of preamble indices

Pointing Mode (BSI): Select the Enabled or Disabled option.
Pointing Mode or Best Signal Indicator (BSI) is an RBM operating mode which allows the installer to
easily determine the direction of the best quality RF signal from the HM. It is enabled and disabled
through the X-1200 WebUI.
While in BSI mode, the RBM makes a buzzing tone to reflect the quality/strength of the RF signal it
receives from the HM. The higher the quality of RF signal is from the HM, the louder and higher the
frequency of the buzzer from the RBM. The installer moves the RBM on its axis and locks it down to
its mount when the loudest and highest frequency buzzer tone is heard—indicating the best signal
from the HM has been found. The radio link can then be created by inserting an Ethernet cable into
the Ethernet port on the RBM. This allows the RBM to lock on to the signal and exit BSI mode.
Note: While the RBM is in BSI mode it cannot create a radio link.
When initially configuring the RBM, prior to being installed, set the Pointing Mode (BSI) option to
Enabled so that when the RBM restarts next with no Ethernet cable attached, it automatically enters
BSI mode. The installer can then find the optimum position for the RBM by moving it on its axis from
on its mount, based on the signal quality from the HM. Once the installer plugs the Ethernet cable
into the Ethernet port on the RBM to create the radio link to the Hub, the RBM exits BSI mode. At
this time, Pointing Mode (BSI) can be set to Disabled. This prevents the RBM from entering BSI
mode again while up on its mount, for example, due to the base station losing power and in turn not
seeing the Ethernet connection to the RBM, causing the RBM to enter BSI mode again.
For more information, refer to section 8.3.4, “Setup - Radio Interface Page” for the corresponding HM
page.
8.4.5 Performance Page
This read-only page for RBM performance contains graphs and statistics for the downlink/uplink Carrier
to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (CINR), downlink/uplink MCS, and downlink/uplink throughput. It
visualizes the incoming and outgoing traffic for the RBM using graph lines. This allows the user to see
traffic and bandwidth usage for the RBM in a real-time, graphical format, and monitor the current
download/upload throughput speeds.
The coupling is a system measurement that indicates the probability of achieving a MIMO link for the
current channel conditions. The system automatically chooses to use SISO mode whenever this value
falls below 5dB.

9 Alarms and Events (Fault Management)
This chapter lists the alarms and events for the BLiNQ X-1200 system.
The X-1200 system issues an alarm notification when a fault condition occurs. You view alarms through
the X-1200 WebUI Events page (See section 8.3.12, “Events - Alarms Page” for HMs and/or section
8.4.6., “Events Page” for RBMs). These alarms require operation and maintenance actions to restore
functionality and/or to prevent a more serious situation from developing.
The X-1200 system issues an event notification when something of importance happens that does not
trigger an alarm, but is considered significant enough to take note. You view these events through the
X-1200 WebUI Events page (See section 8.3.13, “Events - History Page” for HMs and/or section 8.4.6,
“Events Page” for RBMs).
Table 5, List of Alarms shows each alarm (whose name also represents the particular problem), the
alarm ID, type, and explanation on the likely cause of the alarm and possible solution (as applicable).
Table 6, List of Events shows each event (whose name also represents the particular problem), the event
ID, type, and explanation on the likely cause of the event.
Severity is also defined for each listed alarm and event, to indicate the relative level of urgency for
operator action:

CRITICAL – the alarm or event requires immediate corrective action, regardless of the time

Major – the alarm or event requires immediate corrective action, within working hours

Minor – the alarm or event requires corrective action at a suitable time or, at least, continuous close
observation

Warning – the alarm or event requires corrective action on a scheduled maintenance basis

Information – the alarm or event requires no corrective action; it is for informational purposes only

10 Using the X-1200 Command Line Interface
The BLiNQ X-1200 Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based interface to the BLiNQ X-1200 system.
10.1 Overview
The X-1200 CLI provides commands that the network administrator can use to perform various tasks,
including configuring, provisioning, monitoring and troubleshooting the module software, hardware,
and network connectivity.
Using a Secure Shell (SSH) connection, you can access the X-1200 CLI over the network.
The commands in the X-1200 CLI let you display information and perform configuration tasks and make
configuration changes to the X-1200 system. The CONFIG level contains, for example, sub-levels for
Ethernet port setting, management interface settings, and other configuration areas such as global
default CLI session parameters.
To display a list of the available X-1200 CLI commands or command options, enter a single: QUESTION
MARK (?) key.
The X-1200 CLI supports command completion, so you do not need to enter the entire name of a
command or option. If you enter part of a command, then press the TAB key or SPACEBAR, the CLI lists
the options you can enter at that point in the command string. As long as you enter enough characters
of the command or option name to avoid ambiguity with other commands or options, the CLI
understands what you are typing and completes it.
Note: Command comments can be entered directly in the X-1200 CLI by identifying them with an
EXCLAMATION MARK (!) at the start of a line. This tells the X-1200 system that the information is a
comment and is to be ignored.
10.2 X-1200 CLI Command Line Prompts
Within the X-1200 CLI, the command line prompt identifies both the hostname and the command mode.
The hostname is the name of your X-1200 system; the command mode indicates your location within
the CLI command structure.
For example:
Hostname
Command Mode
localhost (config)#
For some actions, the X-1200 CLI prompts you for a response. The acceptable default responses are the
following:

You can press Enter to agree with the prompt and continue.

You can press any other key to disagree with the prompt and cancel the action.

10.3 X-1200 CLI Keywords and Parameters
X-1200 CLI commands are made up of two primary elements:

keywords and

parameters.
10.3.1
Keywords
Every command requires at least one keyword; however, a command can contain other optional
keywords. The keyword(s) must be typed into the CLI accurately for it to be recognized. These are
examples of keywords:

clear

config

exit

load

revert

show
Keywords identify the operation you want to perform. You can abbreviate keywords; however, you must
enter enough initial characters to unambiguously identify the command. For example, if the keyword
you want to specify is session and you enter only s, a list of possible completions appears. This list
indicates that one or more possible keywords begin with s, thus making your entry ambiguous.
For example:
localhost(config)# s
Possible completions:
session
Global default CLI session parameters
system
System settings
--save
Save configuration to an ASCII file
service
Modify use of network based services
show
Show a parameter
10.3.2
Parameters
Parameters are often required elements of a command; however, for some commands, parameters are
not required. A parameter is most often a value that you specify after the keyword. There are different
types of parameters, such as strings, integers, or IP addresses. The X-1200 CLI indicates the type of
parameter that you must enter. When you see a range of numbers or uppercase letters, it indicates that
you must specify a value.

X-1200 User Guide
Release D 0.1
Keywords and Parameters Together
By combining keywords and parameters in the correct sequence, you can begin using the X-1200 CLI to
configure and monitor your X-1200 system. For example, you could specify the Global CONFIG command
user service to add a description of the user service to the X-1200 system by entering a keyword and a
parameter. You need to type only the portion of the keyword that makes it unambiguous, such as des.
Here, the value of the parameter, which is the description you assign to the user service (for example,
“Web Access 11”), is a string of up to 64 characters.
For example:
localhost(config)# user service
localhost(config-user-service)# ?
Possible completions:
alias
Create command alias.

10.4 Identify Command Context
Command levels set a context for the X-1200 CLI. Command context helps you:

determine where you are in CONFIG command levels

determine what you are configuring

go to other CLI command levels
Each command level has its own distinct CLI command prompt so that you know which level you are in.
By recognizing the command line prompt, you can identify where you are in the CLI and the context at
any given point. This helps to prevent you from making configuration mistakes that could adversely
affect the operation of the X-1200 system.

10.6 Logging On to the X-1200 CLI
Note: The CLI has an inactivity timer which logs out inactive users. This inactivity time is automatically
invoked if no commands are entered for several minutes. You cannot change the inactivity timer
configuration.
Once an IP address is assigned to a module, you can log on to the X-1200 CLI using a Secure Shell (SSH)
connection (SSH is an application for opening a secure socket connection to an IP device). However, you
must install SSH version 2.0 client software on your host computer (It is not recommended but you can
use SSH version 1.0).
After initial log on, using the desired SSH client, and once CLI connectivity to the X-1200 system is
established, you see a CLI banner and prompt similar to:
BLiNQ X100 CLI
admin connected from 192.168.5.100 using ssh on localhost
localhost#
At this prompt (#), you are at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI command structure. This is the first
level that you have access to when connected to the X-1200 system through the X-1200 CLI.
To reach the Global CONFIG Level, the uppermost level of the CONFIG commands, enter the config
terminal Privileged EXEC command. You can then reach all the other levels of the CONFIG command
structure from this point.
BLiNQ X100 CLI
admin connected from 192.168.5.100 using ssh on localhost
localhost# config terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal

The CLI is now at the Global CONFIG level.

10.9 Saving Configuration Changes Made Via X-1200 CLI
When using the X-1200 CLI to change parameters on the X-1200 system configuration, the changes do
not take effect immediately. This example shows the process to follow to make system configuration
changes, via the X-1200 CLI, that take effect on the X-1200 system and have them saved across system
restarts.
For example, to change the radio frequency on the X-1200 system, you run the radio Global CONFIG
command:
localhost#
localhost# config terminal
localhost(config)# radio rf 0
localhost(config-rf-0)# frequency 2310000
localhost(config-rf-0)#
While you have entered a new value for the radio frequency, for instance: 2310000, this configuration
change has not taken effect (if you were to measure the frequency, it would still be at the original
value). For this change to take effect, you need to run the commit Global CONFIG command:
localhost(config-rf-0)# commit
#commit complete
localhost(config-rf-0)#
Now your change takes effect and the radio frequency is actually operating at the 2310000 frequency on
the X-1200 system.
However, this has only makes a change to the current running configuration of the X-1200 system—not
the startup configuration (the startup configuration is loaded upon booting the system). This means that
if the system restarts, the running configuration changes are lost unless they are saved to the startup
configuration. To do this, copy the running configuration to the startup configuration on the X-1200
system by using the copy Privileged EXEC command:
localhost(config-rf-0)# exit
localhost(config)# exit
localhost# copy running-configuration startup-configuration
localhost#
Through the X-1200 CLI, by way of this example, you have successfully:

made a change to the X-1200 system configuration

committed this change to the running configuration

copied the running configuration to the startup configuration

saved the configuration change across system restarts

Writing and Running X-1200 CLI Scripts
To simplify the loading of common or repetitive configuration setups, the X-1200 CLI has a basic
scripting facility that enables you to define and run scripts that run multiple CLI commands in series to
completion. Depending on your needs, you might want to store all of your CLI commands in one script
file, or group script files by function.
To run a basic CLI script file on the X-1200 system:
1. Save the script as text.
2. Then perform a copy and paste function directly into the X-1200 CLI at the Global CONFIG level.
The script then runs on the X-1200 system. Ordinarily, when a CLI script is run, it is run to
completion; even if errors are encountered.
Always observe these key points when writing or running CLI scripts:

The commands in the script must be valid in the current operating mode.

If a command inside a script contains a syntax error, or fails for some other reason, the remaining
commands in the file are still run (that is, script execution does not abort on failure).

A script does not require an exit or logout command at the end. If present, these commands are run
normally, such that if run in user mode the CLI session is exited.

Comments can be included directly in the CLI script file itself and are identified with an
EXCLAMATION mark (!) at the start of a line. This tells X-1200 modules that the information is a
comment and should not be displayed or parsed. Comments do not require an end tag.
Note: If you decide to include comments, anyone who reads or edits your CLI script may read them. Any
application that parses or validates your CLI script ignores commented information.
10.11
Using Help
The X-1200 CLI provides a variety of useful context-sensitive help features. An important thing to
remember about using the help features is that the use of a space or the lack of a space before the
QUESTION MARK (?) gives different results. Table 7, Help Commands summarizes the help system.
Table 7 Help Commands
Command
Description
?, help, TAB
Lists all commands or command options available in the current CLI level.
partial-commandTAB
Completes the partial command you entered, if you have provided an unambiguous
abbreviation. Otherwise, if ambiguous, the CLI lists the available command options.
Command?
Gives detailed help on the specific command and its available parameters in the
current CLI level.

? (QUESTION MARK Key)
You can input the QUESTION MARK (?) key whenever you need additional information. When you
enter ?, the CLI displays all available choices for that level. When you enter ? on a line by itself or when it

Upgrading System Software through the X-1200 CLI
Active and standby software image versions can coexist simultaneously on the HM and RBM.
Entering the show system software Privileged EXEC command displays the running-version, restartversion, and available-version software images currently on the HM or RBM. The running and restart
versions represent the currently active system software images, while the available version represents
the standby system software image. For example:
localhost# show
system software
system software
system software
system software
localhost#
system software
running-version 1.0.10_1
restart-version 1.0.10_1
available-version 1.0.7_1
upgrade-status not started
To upgrade the software through the X-1200 CLI:
1. Run the systems software download Privileged EXEC command to download a new software image
onto the HM or RBM from an FTP server. If the software download is successful, the command
output indicates “Upgrade was successful”. For example:
localhost# system software download ftp blinq1 blinq1 169.254.1.27
BLiNQ_X100_0.13.0_2.bin
Downloading BLiNQ_X100_0.13.0_2.bin from 169.254.1.27 using FTP.....

2. Run the show system software Privileged EXEC command. The available-version field (that is, the
standby system software image) should show the new software load image version:
localhost# show
system software
system software
system software
localhost#
system software
running-version 1.0.10_1
restart-version 1.0.10_1
available-version BLiNQ_X100_0.13.0_2.bin
3. To make the available-version software (that is, the standby software load image) the active
software on the module, run the system software switchover Privileged EXEC command:
localhost# system software switchover
On completion, the HM or RBM resets and the user is forced out of the X-1200 CLI. Log in again
once the X-1200 system is back up and running.

4. If the software upgrade fails (due typically to a corrupt load), the output from the systems software
download command indicates the upgrade was unsuccessful, and the system restarts again using
the old software image. In this case, select a different version of the new software and repeat this
procedure from Step 1.

11 System Provisioning
This chapter describes the tasks associated with preparing an X-1200 system to allow it to provide
network services to its users. Each section in the chapter covers a different task:

Initial System Setup and IP Configurations

Adding Users

Provisioning Default Versus Individual Service Flows

Configuring and Adding Individual RBMs
11.1 Initial System Setup and IP Configurations
When you receive a new X-1200 system from the factory with no configuration on it, you must connect
to the management interface so that you can change the management IP address of the Hub Module
(HM) and configure other management parameters for the system, as follows:
1. Connect your computer directly to the HM through an Ethernet cable, then check your connectivity
by pinging the HM using 169.254.1.1/24—the Craft IP address that is always accessible (as it cannot
be changed by the user).
2. After successfully pinging the Craft IP address, either:
a. Open a web browser and navigate to the IP address that you pinged to bring up the X-1200
WebUI, or
b. Use a Secure Shell (SSH) client to log on to the X-1200 CLI using a SSH connection to the IP
address that you pinged. However, SSH version 2.0 client software must be installed on your
host computer (SSH version 1.0 can be used, but is not recommended).
3. When prompted for login credentials, enter the default username and password admin.
Once logged on to the HM, you can change the IP address of the management interface. This can be
done by one of two methods. You can choose to either

statically assign the IP address for the management interface, or

use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure this IP address.
Note: To have DHCP properly assign an address to your X-1200 system, the system must have
network access to a DHCP server on your local network. This DHCP server must have available
addresses in its address pool, which are in the desired subnet you wish to assign to the system.

Assigning a Management IP Address
By default, the X-1200 system is configured to get an IP address for the management interface through
DHCP.
If desired, change it to a static user-assigned IP address using the X-1200 WebUI, as follows:
1. Navigate to the Setup > System page of the X-1200 WebUI.
In the bottom right corner, under Management Interface, are all the configurable options for the
management interface.
2. Change the Mgmt IP Address option from DCHP to Static.
3. Enter an IP address, netmask, and optionally an address for the default gateway (local router).
4. Click Apply in the bottom right corner for the changes to take effect. Use the Refesh button return
to the previous settings and to update the information on the screen.
Alternately, if you wish to use the X-1200 CLI to change this management IP to a static user-assigned IP
address (for example, 192.168.1.1/24), enter these commands:
localhost#
localhost# config terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
localhost(config)# mgmt ip-config-mode static
localhost(config)# mgmt ip 192.168.1.1/24
localhost(config)# commit

Configuring the Radio Interface
To allow for a radio link to be created between an HM and RBM, you must at a minimum initially
configure the following for the X-1200 system:
1. Navigate to the Setup > Radio Interface page of the X-1200 WebUI.
2. Set the Radio Administrative State to Enabled.
3. Ensure that both the HM and RBM have their radio frequencies set to matching values that are
within the range of usable frequency for the X-1200 system.
Note: The radio frequency tuning granularity is 1 kHz.
4. Click Apply in the bottom right corner for the changes to take effect or select the Refresh button to
cancel and return to the previous settings.
General notes:

The following RF parameters must match between an HM and RBM for a radio link to be created:

frequency

preamble index value (for more information on preambles, refer to Chapter 12, Preambles,
Flows, and Network Provisioning)

Since the RBM factory default value for the preamble index is All, it automatically accepts preambles
from any HM. Other preamble index values are configurable, provided the HM and RBM preamble
index values match.

These RF parameters are passed from the HM to the RBM:

TDD DL/UL ratio

Frame Duration

Max/Min DL MCS

Max/Min UL MCS

11.2 Adding Users
You can add users to the X-1200 system through either the X-1200 WebUI or the X-1200 CLI.
11.2.1
Add Users using X-1200 WebUI
To add users to the X-1200 system using the X-1200 WebUI:
1. Navigate to the Admin > User Manager page of the X-1200 WebUI.
2. Click Add to add a user. An Add User dialog box appears.
3. From the Add User dialog box, you can now enter a username, password, and choose the access
level of that user (Group) (either read-only or read/write).
Note:

User names must start with a letter and may be composed of alphanumeric characters only.

Passwords are case sensitive, may be composed of alphanumeric characters and special
characters, and must contain at least one letter and one digit.

At least one user with read/write privileges needs to exist in the X-1200 system.
4. You can also edit existing users to the X-1200 by selecting edit on the same line as the user you want
to modify. The Edit User dialog box appears. Adjust the settings as required.
To change the user name, delete this user and re-input under a new name.

5. If you cannot login due to a forgotten user name or password, contact another user with read/write
access privileges to have them reset your login credentials. If you have lost all read/write login
credentials, contact your supplier.
To reset a password, select the Reset Password check box. The New Password and Confirm
Password fields appear. Type in the new password and confirm it. Inform the user of the new
password.
6. For any of the actions, select Apply for the changes to take effect or Cancel to abandon this action.
11.2.2
Add Users using the X-1200 CLI
To add users to the X-1200 system using the X-1200 CLI, enter these commands:
localhost#
localhost# config terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
localhost(config)# admin users user  password  group

localhost(config-user-)# commit
Commit complete.
localhost(config)# end
localhost# copy run start
This command string creates a user with the given username, password, and access privilege based on
the group.
11.3 Provisioning Default Versus Individual Service Flows
The HM has two service flow definitions for allowing communication to be established with a RBM, set
through the RBMs > RBM General X-1200 WebUI page for HMs:

Use Default Service Definition

Use Individual Service Definition
If Use Default Service Definition is set, you can define up to four unidirectional default service flow
definitions for that HM as set through the RBMs > Default Service page. All RBMs connecting to this HM
are then assigned this service flow definition profile. It is not necessary to enter MAC addresses for the
RBMs, as the HM automatically discovers them. Use of this definition is best associated with the
Automatic Scan Mode for RBMs because any RBM can then automatically connect to an HM, and the
HM does not need to know the MAC address of the RBM.

X-1200 User Guide
Release D 0.1
Note: You cannot use individual service definition profiles on a per RBM basis, if Use Default Service
Definition is set, since all the RBMs then have the same default service flow assigned as defined in the
HM.
If Use Individual Service Definition is set, you can define and assign up to four downlink and four uplink
service flows for each RBM (for a total of 32 per HM) through the RBMs > RBM List page. The
assignment is done based on the MAC address of each RBM, so use of this definition requires you to
manually provision the HM with the MAC addresses of the RBMs.
In summary, the typical use cases for the HM service flow definitions are:

Use Case 1—If the operator has one service flow definition that applies to all RBMs in the cluster,
set the HM service flow definition to Use Default Service Definition. There is then no need to
provision the HM with the MAC addresses of the RBMs, as the HM automatically discovers the RBM
MAC addresses.

Use Case 2—If the operator wants to configure individual service flow definitions for each RBM in
the cluster on an RBM-by-RBM basis, set the HM service flow definition to Use Individual Service
Definition. This requires you to manually provision the HM with the MAC address for each RBM in
its cluster, as described in section 11.4, “Configuring and Adding Individual RBMs”.
11.4 Configuring and Adding Individual RBMs
With the HM service flow definition set to Use Individual Service Definition, you must configure each
RBM service flow and add the RBMs to the X-1200 system on an RBM-by-RBM basis. This can be done
through either the X-1200 WebUI or the X-1200 CLI.
11.4.1
Using the X-1200 WebUI
For example, to configure a default, pass-all, bidirectional service flow on the HM for one RBM on the
X-1200 system using the X-1200 WebUI:
1. Navigate to the RBMs > RBM List page of the X-1200 WebUI.
2. Click the Add button to add an RBM.
A Remote Backhaul Module: page appears.
3. In the Remote Backhaul Module: page, under the RBM Details area, enter the MAC address for
your RBM along with a description (for instance, a location) and the VLAN, if desired, in the
appropriate boxes.

When you enter a MAC address, the MAC address displays below the Remote Backhaul Module:
title (for instance, Remote Backhaul Module: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx).
4. If you need to edit a RBM, select the MAC address of the desired RBM under the MAC Address
heading on the default RBMs > RBM List page. The Remote Backhaul Module: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx for
the selected RBM appears. From the Service Flows area of the page, click the Add button to add a
service flow. The Service Flow: page appears.

12 Preambles, Flows, and Network Provisioning
This chapter describes the role and use of preamble series indices and service flows in provisioning
multiple X-1200 clusters—a cluster being one Hub Module (HM) configured with its group of up to four
Remote Backhaul Modules (RBMs) (referred to as 1:2, 1:3, or 1:4 clusters). This chapter also covers the
provisioning tasks to follow for determining which RBMs, from which clusters, are allowed to register
with a particular HM.

12.1 Preamble Functional Description
The X-1200 system uses Time Division Duplex (TDD) to transport wireless traffic data. TDD divides the
data stream into frames. There are two frame size options: 3.1251 msec and 5 msec. The frame consists
of a number of Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. Each OFDM symbol is
97.1 sec long with a 1/16 cyclic prefix option (91.4sec useful symbol time plus 6.25 sec cyclic prefix;
cyclic prefix of 1/8 is optional1). The TDD frame is divided into a downlink sub-frame and an uplink subframe. The downlink to uplink ratio is user selectable through the Web UI or CLI: 50:50 or 65:35.
The first symbol of the TDD frame is the ‘preamble’. This symbol is used for physical layer procedures
such as synchronization, initial channel estimation, and noise and interference estimation. It is repeated
in every frame. The preamble carries a uniquely defined signaling sequence. Up to 32 unique preamble
indices can be configured on the X-1200 system.
Preamble indices identify and separate clusters of X-1200 modules from each other, and enhance the
receive operation performance of the X-1200 system when different clusters are deployed in close
geographical or Radio Frequency (RF) proximity (RF proximity in this context is defined as two clusters
that may or may not be geographically close, but significant power from one cluster is received by
modules in the other cluster).

Note: BLiNQ Networks recommends that clusters in close geographic or RF proximity be assigned unique
preamble indices. It is also recommended that RBMs in these clusters be pre-configured to connect to
only one HM by matching this HMs preamble configuration. This ensures accurate operation of the RBM
pointing system during installation.
12.2 Preamble Operational Description
A Hub and RBM only register and communicate to each other if they have the same preamble series
value. If the RBM preamble index value does not match that of any HM, the RBM cannot connect or
communicate to any HM.
General notes:

An HM can have up to four RBMs registered at any one time.

There are 32 possible X-1200 preamble series index values: 0 to 31.

HMs default to a preamble series value of ‘0’ (factory default).

RBMs default to a preamble series of ‘all’. That is, by default RBMs accept and register with any Hub
preamble series index value (factory default).

RBMs can be configured to either use a specific preamble index value or a list of preamble index
values. In this latter case, the RBM attempts to use each of the values in the list when initiating
communication with an HM.
With 32 preamble series index values available, you can provision up to 32 neighboring clusters within
the same geographic area using, for example, preamble series index value 0 for the first 1:4 cluster,
preamble series index value 1 for the second 1:4 cluster, preamble series index value 2 for the third 1:4
cluster, and so forth, all the way up to preamble series index value 31 for the 32nd 1:4 cluster. Such a
configuration runs no risk of Hub-to-RBM registration faults between neighboring clusters.
Note: Best Signal Indicator (BSI) is an RBM operating mode which allows the installer to easily determine
the direction of the best quality signal from the best serving HM (refer to section 8.4.4, “Setup - Radio
Interface Page” for details). When the field technician mounts the RBM and is in the process of
searching for the optimum direction of the best serving HM using BSI, the RBM cycles through all
preambles in Automatic Scan Mode (by factory default, unless set otherwise). Once the RBM identifies
the preamble value for the first available HM, it locks on to that preamble value to allow the installer to
pinpoint the best direction for the RBM to communicate with that HM.
12.3 Provisioning Preambles
The default Preamble Series index settings can be seen in the Setup > Radio Interface page of the
X-1200 WebUI for HMs and RBMs, respectively, under Radio Settings.
Hub Radio Settings show the factory default of 0 for Preamble Series, but can be set to use any single
unique preamble index value from 0 to 31:

RBM Radio Settings show the factory default of All for Preamble Series, but the box below the All check
box can be set to use any single unique preamble index value from 0 to 31 (Uncheck the All check box
and the field becomes available):
RBMs can also be set to two different preamble operating modes through the Setup > Radio Interface
X-1200 WebUI page for RBMs:

Defined Preamble Mode—When the RBM preamble series index is set to a value between 0 to 31, it
only connects and registers to a serving HM pointed in its direction that matches its preamble value
setting. This is the recommended operating mode for live networks.

Automatic Scan Mode—When the RBM preamble series index is set to All (the system default), the
RBM scans the full range of preamble values and automatically determines the proper preamble
index to use with a potential serving HM.
You typically use the Defined Preamble Mode when the operator seeks to connect to a specific hub
module. For normal network operation, BLiNQ recommends that the preamble on RBMs be set to a
specific index value using the Defined Preamble Mode rather than use Automatic Scan Mode. This
ensures that all new RBM installations are consistent with the network planning and that RBMs are
pointed in the best direction for their designated serving HM.

12.4 Provisioning HM Service Flow Definitions
As explained in Chapter 11, System Provisioning, the HM has two service flow definitions for allowing
communication to be established with a RBM, set through the RBMs > RBM General X-1200 WebUI
page for HMs:

Use Default Service Definition

Use Individual Service Definition
Refer to section 11.3, “Provisioning Default Versus Individual Service Flows” for details.
The typical use cases for the HM service flow definitions are:

Use Case 1—If the operator has one service flow definition that applies to all RBMs in the cluster,
set the HM service flow definition to Use Default Service Definition. There is no need to provision
the HM with the MAC addresses of the RBMs, as the HM automatically discovers the RBM MAC
addresses.

Use Case 2—If the operator wants to define individual service flow definitions for each RBM in the
cluster on an RBM-by-RBM basis, set the HM service flow definition to Use Individual Service
Definition.
12.5 Provisioning Multiple Clusters within the Same Area
With 32 preamble series index values available, you can provision up to 32 neighboring clusters within
the same geographic area.
12.5.1
Provisioning Multiple Clusters with the X-1200 WebUI
Using ‘Use Case 2’ from section 12.4, “Provisioning HM Service Flow Definitions”, you can, for example,
provision three neighboring 1:4 clusters within the same geographic area using the X-1200 WebUI:
First 1:4 Neighbor Cluster:
Using the X-1200 WebUI for the HM:
1. Under Radio Settings of the Setup > Radio Interface page, enter 0 in the Preamble Series box.
2. Click Apply for the changes to take effect (or Cancel to abandon this action).
3. Select the green Save Config button (at the top of the screen) to copy the running configuration to
the startup configuraton.
Using the X-1200 WebUI for RBM 1, RBM 2, RBM 3, and RBM 4, respectively:
1. Under Radio Settings of the Setup > Radio Interface page, enter 0 in the Preamble Series box (if
required, uncheck the check box beside All to make the field available).
2. Click Apply for the changes to take effect (or Refresh to abandon this action).
3. Select the green Save Config button to copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.

12.5.2
Provisioning Multiple Clusters with the X-1200 CLI
Alternately, using ‘Use Case 2’ from section 12.4, “Provisioning HM Service Flow Definitions”, you can
provision the same three neighboring 1:4 clusters within the same geographic area using the X-1200 CLI:
First 1:4 Neighbor Cluster:
Using the X-1200 CLI for the HM:
localhost(config)# radio
localhost(config-radio)# preamble series-index 0
Using the X-1200 CLI for RBM 1, RBM 2, RBM 3, and RBM 4, respectively:
localhost(config-radio)# preamble scanning-mode scan-series-list
localhost(config-radio)# preamble series 0 value 0
Second 1:4 Neighbor Cluster:
Repeat the steps done for the first 1:4 cluster, replacing the preamble series value 0 with 1.
Third 1:4 Neighbor Cluster:
Repeat the steps done for the first 1:4 cluster, replacing the preamble series value 0 with 2.
Further, if applicable for your network, you can repeat this procedure all the way up to preamble series
index value 31 for the 32nd 1:4 cluster.

13.1 BLiNQ Wireless Devices and RF Safety/Les appareils sans
fil BLiNQ et la sécurité RF
REMARQUE: La traduction française suit le texte anglais.
BLiNQ Networks evaluates all of its products to ensure that they conform to the Radio Frequency (RF)
energy emission safety limits adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). BLiNQ
Networks conducts these evaluations using the compliance rules and guidelines adopted by both the
FCC and Industry Canada. They are based on the results of the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE)
studies by the FCC for mobile or fixed devices, which dictate MPE limits for human exposure to RF
energy.
Before selling any wireless networking device to the public, BLiNQ Networks submits its devices to the
FCC and Industry Canada for MPE (that is, RF emissions) studies and evaluation. These studies must
demonstrate that the device meets the accepted regulatory limits for safe RF emissions, or it is not
approved for sale by the FCC and thus cannot be sold to the public. This means that when wireless
networking devices, purchased from BLiNQ Networks, are installed and operated as instructed, the RF
emissions from the devices is equal to or less than the levels accepted as safe by the FCC and Industry
Canada.
When used as intended, BLiNQ wireless networking devices do not pose health risks. Like other devices
that emit RF energy (such as computers and microwave ovens), the level of RF emissions from BLiNQ
devices is too low to cause harm. Further, BLiNQ wireless networking devices emit far lower levels of RF
energy than cellular and cordless telephones, and are almost always used further away from the human
body.
To prevent unnecessary exposure to RF energy:

Always install the X-1200 system so as to provide and maintain a minimum separation distance from
all persons.

When the X-1200 system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of Hub Module (HM)
sectored antennas or in front of Remote Backhaul Modules (RBMs) and their internal antennas. RF
energy fields may be present when the transmitter is on.

When the X-1200 system is operational, maintain a distance of at least 50 centimeters from the Hub
Module (HM) sectored antennas or the Remote Backhaul Modules (RBMs) internal antennas.

Do not install the X-1200 system in a location where it is possible for people to stand or walk
inadvertently in front of an antenna.
BLiNQ Networks évalue l'ensemble de ses produits afin de s'assurer qu'ils sont conformes à la limite
d'émission énergétique sécuritaire de radiofréquence (RF) adoptée par la «Federal Communications
Commission» (FCC). BLiNQ Networks effectue ces évaluations en utilisant les règles et lignes directrices
adoptées à la fois par le FCC et Industrie Canada. Elles sont basées sur les résultats de l'exposition
maximale admissible, études menées par le FCC sur les appareils mobiles ou fixes, qui dictent les limites
de l'exposition maximale admissible pour l'exposition humaine aux énergies RF.

Avant de vendre tout appareil de réseau sans fil au public, BLiNQ Networks présente ses appareils au
FCC et à Industrie Canada pour l'évaluation de l'exposition maximale admissible. Ces études doivent
démontrer que l'appareil est conforme aux limites réglementaires acceptées pour les émissions RF,
sinon les appareils ne sont pas approuvés pour la vente par la FCC et ne peuvent donc pas être vendus
au public. Cela signifie que lorsque des équipements sans fil, achetés auprès de BLiNQ Networks, sont
installés et utilisés conformément aux instructions, les émissions RF provenant des dispositifs sont
inférieures ou égales aux niveaux acceptés comme étant sécuritaire par la FCC et Industrie Canada.
Lorsqu'utilisés comme prévu, les périphériques sans fil BLiNQ ne posent pas de risques pour la santé. De
la même façon que les autres appareils qui émettent de l'énergie RF (comme les ordinateurs et les fours
à micro-ondes), le niveau des émissions RF des dispositifs BLiNQ est trop faible pour causer des
dommages. En outre, les dispositifs de réseau sans fil BLiNQ émettent des niveaux beaucoup plus faibles
d'énergie RF que les téléphones cellulaires et sans fil, et sont presque toujours utilisés loin du corps
humain.
Pour éviter toute exposition inutile à l'énergie RF :

Installer toujours le système X -1200 afin de fournir et de maintenir une distance minimale de
séparation avec toutes les personnes.

Lorsque le système X -1200 est opérationnel, éviter de se tenir directement devant les antennes
sectorisées du «Hub Module» (HM) ou devant «Remote Backhaul Module» (RBM) et leurs antennes
internes. Les champs d'énergie RF peuvent être présents lorsque l'émetteur est en marche.

Lorsque le système X -1200 est opérationnel, maintenir une distance d'au moins 50 centimètres à
partir des antennes sectorisées du HM ou des antennes internes modules du RBM.

Ne pas installer le système X -1200 dans un endroit où il est possible pour les gens de se tenir
debout ou de marcher en face d'une antenne.
