4.2.1. System Setup
To start the FibeAir 1500 radio link configuration you first need to setup the
Ethernet and PPP/SLIP IP addresses. Once you have defined these
addresses, you will be able to configure the system using the GiganetView
software.
To set the addresses, perform the following operations:
1. Connect the RS-232 port of your computer to the RS-232 (9-PIN) port
on the indoor unit front panel. This port is labeled “Terminal” and is
located near the front panel LEDs.
2. Connect to the standard Windows HyperTerminal at 19,200 bits per
second.
3. After you are connected, press Enter. The login menu appears.

Chapter 4. System Setup FibeAir 1500 Installation & Operation Manual
Revision 2.0 The Setup Procedure 4-5
The PPP protocol adds security to the communication and therefore
additional parameters need to be configured in the system:
— Authentication Protocol Type:
0 – None
1 – PAP (without encryption)
2 – CHAP (with encryption)
— Authentication Mode:
2 – GUEST. The IDU gives the user name and password to the
network manager.
3 – HOST. The IDU receives the user and password from the
network manager and validates them.
4 – DYNAMIC. When the IDU receives a phone call, it acts as a
HOST. If it initiates a call to the network manger (SNMP trap) it will
act like a GUEST. In case of a direct connection (without a dialup
modem) it acts as a HOST.
— Dial-In Authentication User Name: Enter the user name that is
used to validate a user dialing in to the indoor unit.
— Dial-In Authentication Password: Enter the password that is used
to validate a user dialing in to the indoor unit.
— Dial-Out Authentication User Name: Enter the user name that will
be used by the IDU to gain access to the remote manager.
— Dial-Out Authentication User Password: Enter the Password that
will be used by the IDU to gain access to the remote manager.

4.2.10. SNMP Configuration
To connect to the IDU with SNMP-based management, you need to define
the SNMP communities. These are passwords that define access rights of
different users. If these are not identical to the definitions in the network
management software (GiganetView or any other SNMP based software),
the authentication process will fail and access to the radio link is denied.
To configure the SNMP communities, perform the following operations:
1. Connect to the Terminal.
2. From the Main Configuration menu, select Full Configuration.
3. From the Full Configuration menu, select (2) SNMP Configuration. The
SNMP Configuration menu appears.

community will be allowed to read the link information, but will not be
allowed to change anything.
5. Select (2) Write Community and set it to netman. Users with this
community will be allowed to read and modify link information.
6. Select (3) Trap Community and set it to public. This password will be
used by the IDU when it reports to a SNMP based manager. The same
password needs to be included in the manager itself.
7. Select (4) Trap Option and set it to Standard Trap (0). In the “Standard
Trap” option, serial numbers will be added only to the private MIB traps.
Otherwise, serial numbers will be added to all SNMP traps.

Follow the steps below for both the Local and Remote sides:
4.8.1. Setting External Alarm Inputs
The microcontroller in the IDU reads the alarm inputs (dry contact) and
transmits them over the management channel to the GiganetView
management system. This allows the FibeAir 1500 system to report external
alarms not related to itself. For each alarm:
1. Click on the box next to the alarm number to enable/disable. Alarms that
are enabled are indicated by a filled box (n); disabled alarms are
indicated by (o).
2. Enter a description of the alarm.
3. Select the alarm’s severity (Major, Minor, Warning or Event).

4.8.2. Setting Alarm Outputs
The FibeAir 1500 provides five alarm outputs which may be used by other
systems to sense FibeAir 1500 alarms.
Figure 4-19 Setting Alarm Outputs
The alarm outputs are Form C Relays. Each alarm output relay provides
three pins:
Normally open (NO)
Normally Closed (NC)
Common (C).
Any output alarm may be defined as any one of the following:
Major
Minor
Warning
External
Power
BER
Line
Loopback
LOF
IDU
ODU
Cable
Remote
The default alarm output settings are:
Relay 1: On-Line (Power)
Relay 2: IDU
Relay 3: ODU
Relay 4: CBL (Cable)
Relay 5: RMT (Remote)
These relays may be connected to customer-specific applications. Refer to
Appendix B for details on the alarm connector pin assignments.

4-28 Line Interface Connection Revision 2.0
4.9. Line Interface Connection
After setting up all the previous parameters and establishing the radio link,
the Line Interface can be connected to the IDU.
All the available interfaces of the FibeAir 1500 system are described in
Chapter 8.
The terminology used with the interfaces is:
Connectors or signals labeled as “TX” indicates that the signal is a signal
outbound from the FibeAir 1500.
Connectors or signals labeled as “RX” indicates that the signal is a
signal inbound to the FibeAir 1500.
