System Setup 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. Figure 4-1 FibeAir 1500 Terminal - Login Screen 4. Type giganet as the password. The main menu displays. Figure 4-2 FibeAir 1500 Terminal - Main Configuration Menu 4-2 The Setup Procedure Revision 2.0 Chapter 4.

Press Enter to accept the existing value or type in the new value in the space provided. — Ethernet IP address: The FibeAir 1500 Ethernet port IP address you wish to use. 4-4 The Setup Procedure — Ethernet IP Mask: Your network IP sub-net address. — Serial IP address: The FibeAir 1500 Serial port IP address you wish to use. — Serial IP Mask: Your network IP sub-net address. — Default Router IP address: The FibeAir’s default router address. — Read community: The community password for read only devices. — Write community: The community password for read/write devices. — Trap option: “0” – sending standard trap, “1” – sending trap with unit serial I.D. The recommended option is “0”. — Serial Type: Defines the serial communication type, PPP or SLIP. — Serial Baud Rate: Serial communication port baud rate. — Dial-Out Phone Number: The phone number to be dialed by the indoor unit. Revision 2.0 Chapter 4. System Setup FibeAir 1500 Installation & Operation Manual The PPP protocol adds security to the communication and therefore additional parameters need to be configured in the system: Revision 2.0 — 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. — Transmit Frequency: The frequency Channel number you wish to use. — Transmit Power: Power output level.
