Description
DragonWave’s AirPair product family provides system integrators with a point-to-point
broadband radio that delivers wireless Ethernet IP-based services.
Requiring no server room installation, the all-outdoor ready AirPair installs quickly and delivers
the lowest cost per Mbit/s wireless solution in the industry. AirPair is the ideal choice wherever
rapid deployment of Carrier-grade Ethernet service is required.
The DragonWave AirPair 100-UL is an unlicensed, wireless Ethernet bridge. The 100-UL avoids
the uncertainity of service with the congested 2.4 GHz ISM and 5.8 GHz U-NII bands. Due to its
narrow beam widths and the natural propagation of 24 GHz radio waves, AirPair 100-UL is able
to operate virtually interference-free without a license up to 5 kms.
Figure 2 illustrates the capabilities of the DragonWave AirPair system.

4.2. Calculating the Link Budget
To ensure that the point-to-point radio system works properly, with the expected availability and
performance, you need to perform some path loss calculations and prepare a link budget. A link
budget is an accounting of all the gains and losses in the “over air” part of the system and allows
the planner to establish the locations and separations of each terminal in the link.
Note
You may wish to use the AirPal Link Budget tool provided on
the AirPair Toolkit CD ROM or the Link Budget Tool included

4.6. VLAN tagging
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a single-broadcast domain. If a user broadcasts information on
the LAN, every other user on the LAN receives the broadcast. A router prevents broadcast
messages from leaving a LAN, which reduces collisions and improves performance.
A network manager can create smaller broadcast domains and reduce network broadcasts by
logically segmenting a LAN into different broadcast domains. These broadcast domains are
called Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs). Workstations on a VLAN do not have to be located
together because they are segmented logically, not physically.
VLANs offer a number of advantages over traditional LANs including:
•
Performance
•
Security
•
formation of virtual workgroups
•
cost reduction
All ports on a switch are configured for a default VLAN (usually VLAN1). When a switch receives
data from a workstation, it tags the data with a VLAN identifier indicating the originating VLAN.
The switch sends the data to the ports inside the VLAN where it originated. It also sends the
data to a trunking port if one is available.
Network Administrators create VLAN groups and place backbone network devices into the VLAN
group to simplify administration and increase security of the devices. VLAN tagging allows
network administrators to add AirPair nodes to the administrative network. VLAN tagging
restricts administrative access to devices that are members of the VLAN group.
If you program an AirPair node with an IP address but do not enable VLAN tagging, the node
responds to Ping, Telnet and SNMP commands from any device on the network. Telnet and
SNMP require a username and password, the proper IP address and community string,
respectively.
If you enable VLAN tagging, the AirPair nodes respond to ping commands but do not respond to
Telnet and SNMP commands unless the packet has the correct VLAN tag. The Telnet and
SNMP requests must have the correct VLAN tag and come from a device within the VLAN
domain.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is working on a draft standard 802.1Q
for VLANs. Currently, most products are proprietary and anyone wanting to install VLANs has to
purchase all products from the same vendor. DragonWave implements AirPair VLAN Tagging
using the 802.1Q standard. For more information on the Standard, see the web page:

6.3. Fine-adjust alignment of the radios
This section describes how to perform fine-adjust alignment of the radios. When you prepare to
align the radios, you must consider two important factors:
•
Main Lobe and Side Lobes of Radio Waves
•
Clear Line of Sight (LOS)
6.3.1. Main Lobe and Side Lobes of Radio Waves
When you align the radios, make sure you align to the Main Lobe of the transmission. If you
mistake a Main Lobe for a Side Lobe during installation, there can be a 20-30 dB loss of signal
strength. For example, if the Calculated RSSI = -42 dB then the side lobe would be at
approximately -62 dB, or 20 dB lower than the calculated level.
The size of the beamwidth for the 24 GHz AirPair systems is approximately 2 degree, which is
approximately equivalent to a thumb's width when the arm is fully extended. Align as closely to
the centre of the 2-degree beamwidth as possible. It takes very little adjustment to swing past
the main lobe, as can be seen in Figure 11. A beamwidth of 2 degrees is narrow and alignment
errors can occur when you lock on to a Side Lobe instead of onto the Main lobe. If you align to a
Side Lobe and miss the Main Lobe, your signal strength is reduced. Make sure you align the
antenna to the Main Lobe.
Note: Verify the RSSI is within 2 dB of the calculated value.

6.4. Clear Line of Sight
Caution
There can be no obstructions in the Fresnel zone. If there are
obstructions within this broad beam or Fresnel Zone, some
of the signal is diffracted off the obstruction, with an
accompanying phase shift.
The AirPair must have a clear line of sight. Use caution and make sure there is proper Fresnel
Zone clearance. The size of the beam grows as it propagates towards the destination. The
beam must have no obstructions in its path. Obstructions within the path of the beam can
decrease the signal quality by diffracting the signal.
When you consider Fresnel Zone clearance, you must consider both the height above and the
lateral distance from obstructions Figure 13 show trees within the Fresnel zone that obstruct the
signal. Do not allow any obstruction of the Fresnel Zone.

6.5. Fine-adjust align the radios
Caution
Alignment of the radios requires power to be supplied to the
modem.
Caution
Proper alignment results in increased signal quality! Once
the radios have been visually aligned, fine adjust alignment
can begin. Pan across the entire beamwidth to ensure the
alignment corresponds to the Main Lobe and not to a Side
Lobe.
Caution
Transmission of radio signals results in a primary signal
(Main Lobe) and secondary signals (Side Lobes) being sent
towards the destination. During installation the Side Lobes
can be mistaken for the Main Lobe, resulting in a 20-30 dB
loss of signal strength. On a 12”/30 cm antenna, the entire
beamwidth typically lies within a 5 degree span so it is
critical to ensure alignment targets the Main Lobe and not
the Side Lobes. Larger antennas have a narrower beam. For
a 24”/60 cm antenna, the entire beamwidth lies within a 3
degree span.
Note: It is recommended that you use the DragonWave’s DragonPair PDA software when
aligning 24 GHz AirPair systems. DragonWave’s software runs on a Personal Digital Assistant
(PDA) with Palm OS V3.5 or higher. The software provides an Antenna Alignment Indicator that
shows relative signal strength. It retains the peak value that was reached. This allows for
multiple panning attempts.
Procedure 6-6
Fine-adjust Align Radios
Use this procedure to fine-adjust the alignment of the radios.
At the first end:
(a) Pan or move the antenna horizontally at one end across the entire beamwidth to
identify the Main Lobe and the two side lobes. See Figure 12. Place a mark on
the radio bracket to identify Main Lobe and each of the Side Lobes. The Main
Lobe is approximately 2 degrees in width. The two Side Lobes are approximately
5 degrees apart.
(b) Tilt or move the antenna vertically and locate the strongest receive signal
reading.
(c) Pan or move the antenna horizontally and locate the strongest receive signal
reading.
(d) Tighten the bolt to lock the antenna in place.

(a) Pan or move the antenna horizontally at one end across the entire beamwidth to
identify the Main Lobe and the two side lobes.
(b) Tilt or move the antenna vertically and locate the strongest receive signal
reading.
(c) Pan or move the antenna horizontally and locate the strongest receive signal
reading.
(d) Tighten the bolt to lock the antenna in place.
(e) At the first end:
(f)
Pan or move the antenna horizontally at one end across the entire beamwidth to
identify the Main Lobe and the two side lobes.
(g) Tilt or move the antenna vertically and locate the strongest receive signal
reading.
(h) Pan or move the antenna horizontally and locate the strongest receive signal
reading.
(i)
Tighten the bolt to lock the antenna in place.
(j)
Repeat these steps as necessary to obtain maximum signal strength.
Notes:
While Horizontal Alignment is being performed, ensure the Vertical Alignment lockdown
bolts are securely tightened to prevent movement, and vice versa for Vertical
Alignment.
The RSSI level should be within 2 dB of predicted levels. Factors that contribute to low
RSSI levels are:
•
incorrect antenna alignment - aligned to side lobe and not main lobe;
•
improper polarization of antennas - horizontal vs. vertical.
•
path issues
•
obstructions such as trees, hills, or buildings within the beamwidth
•
path clearance issues such as diffraction, partial obstruction, earth
curvature
Ensure alignment corresponds to the Main Signal Lobe and not to the Side Lobes.
The connectors (Power cable, IF cable, Serial cable, and Ethernet cable) on the AirPair
units are of a weatherproof design. Sealing of connectors is not necessary.
Once the radios and modems have been installed and aligned, you need to ensure that
the grounding cables at the radio and modem are properly sealed using potting
compound, rubberized tape or other waterproof material. Cable corrosion can result
in decreased quality of grounding connections, and therefore present greater risk of
personal or equipment damage during lightning strikes.
6.5.1. Perform a Data Test
This section describes how to perform a data test.
Version 2.0
DragonWave Inc.

Procedure 6-7
Perform a data test
Perform this procedure to confirm the network link is working properly. It is assumed that you
are using an Ethernet traffic-generating device.
Connect the device to the Ethernet cable at either end.
Confirm data can be passed within desired error rates. This will ensure the network link
is working in a satisfactory manner prior to running applications over the link.
6.5.2. Connect to the LAN
This section describes how to connect the system to the LAN with an Ethernet cable.
Caution
The Ethernet Cable is meant to be connected to a Server and
therefore the signal pairs on the cable must be switched in
order to connect to a router or a switch.
Once alignment, sealing of cables and data test have been completed, connect the Ethernet
cable to your network device.
Ensure optimum throughput. The Ethernet connection to the modem is intended to operate at
100 Mbps Full Duplex for AirPair 100 and at 50 Mbps Full Duplex for AirPair 50.

7.1.1. AirPair Enterprise Management Information Base
A Management Information Base (MIB) contains information about a network device that is
managed by SNMP. AirPair supports industry standards MIB I and MIB II. In addition,
DragonWave provides an enterprise MIB for AirPair. For a list of objects and their definitions
refer to the AirPair MIB definition file on the DragonWave Toolkit CD-ROM.
You must load the AirPair MIB onto your own MIB browser or Network Management Station
(NMS). HP OpenView is an example of network management software to be used on the NMS.
The AirPair Enterprise MIB is provided in a standard MIB format that allows a more direct
method of loading the definitions onto the NMS. On some NMS systems, it is as straight-forward
as placing the AirPair MIB into the proper NMS directory and then enabling it by adding it to the
MIB list. Please consult the instructions provided with your NMS for details on loading the
Enterprise MIBs.
7.1.2. Traps
A trap is a message that reports a problem or a significant event. Traps are defined in AirPair
MIB definition file. For a complete list of traps, refer to the MIB definition file on the AirPair
Toolkit CD-ROM.

Appendix A - Frequency Channel Plans
This appendix describes frequency channel plans.
Table 4 lists the FCC Channel Plans for 24 GHz.
Note: Either of the two radios may be programmed at the GO frequency. The other radio must
then be programmed at the matching RETURN frequency for coupled (paired) operation.
Therefore, using the table below, if one radio is set to transmit at 24080 MHz, then other radio
must be set to transmit at 24150 MHz. Refer to the section below for decoupled (unpaired)
operation.

Should many 24 GHz systems be deployed in the same small geographical footprint, then
DragonWave’s 24 GHz system allows full control of the frequencies. Normally, the frequencies
are paired according to the table above, however unpaired frequency operation is allowed.
Note the frequencies must differ by a minimum of 70 MHz. For example, if one radio is set to a
frequency of 24080 MHz, then the other radio must be set to a minimum offset of 70 MHZ and
therefore must be set to 24150 MHz or higher. There are no other restrictions on frequency
selection that is to say that any frequency combinations may be selected as long as the spacing
is a minimum of 70 MHz. Therefore, if one radio is set to 24150 MHz then the other radio may
be set to a frequency of 70 MHz higher (24220 MHz), or 70 MHz lower (24080 MHz).

and to obtain statistical and maintenance information.
Notes:
The modem serial port is always active, however you must press the  key in
order to get a prompt.
1. On Power Up, the modem takes between 45 and 60 seconds to boot up.
2. Invalid Commands, or Commands that fail, receive a NAK as a response.
3. Radio Receiver gain is set to a default value due to the fixed cable length for the IF
cable. Gain adjustments should only be made to the radio transmitter and not to the
receiver gain.
4. The modem card modulation is set to QAM16 for AirPair 100 and QPSK for AirPair 50.
Note: The factory-set IP address is 192.168.10.100.
