ixRF-7800WSAFETY SUMMARYRSAFETY SUMMARY1. INTRODUCTIONAll operators and maintenance personnel must observe the following safety precautions during operation and maintenance of this equipment. Specific warnings and cautions are provided in the manual and at the end of this Safety Summary. Warnings, Cautions, and Notes appear before various steps in the manual and will be used as follows:•WARNING Used when injury or death to personnel and damage to equipment is possible•CAUTION Used when there is a possibility of damage to equipment•NOTE Used to alert personnel to a condition that requires emphasis2. PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT SAFETYBasic safety precautions consider factors involved in protecting personnel from injury or death. Electrical, mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic radiation (EMR), or chemical hazards are the most common types of hazards found in electronic equipment. The following are types of hazards that may exist:ELECTRICAL Hazardous voltage and current levels may exist throughout the equipment. Contactwith these hazards could cause electrocution, electrical shock, burns, or injury due to involuntary reflexes of the body.THERMAL Burn hazards may exist in the equipment that could cause personal injuries and/orserious equipment damage. Internal surfaces of the equipment may be in excess of65°C, the point at which personnel could be burned. Extreme caution should be usedwhen working with any hot assemblies (for example, power supply or poweramplifier assemblies). Physical injury or damage may result to personnel and/orequipment as a result of a reflex action to a burn.EMR Overexposure to electromagnetic radiation from amplified radio frequenciesmay produce a health hazard.3. OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY GUIDELINESGood safety discipline is critical to prevent injury to personnel. All other safety measures are useless if personnel do not observe the safety precautions and do not follow safety disciplines. Once aware of a hazard, personnel should ensure that all other personnel are aware of the hazard. The following basic safety disciplines are stressed:a. Read a procedure entirely before performing it. Personnel must always perform each assigned task in a safe manner.b. Prior to applying equipment power after maintenance, personnel must ensure that all unsecured hand tools and test equipment are disconnected from the serviced/maintained equipment and properly stored.c. Power to the equipment must be removed before a piece of equipment is removed.d. Extreme care must be used when adjusting or working on operating equipment. Voltages in excess of 70 V or current sources in excess of 25 A are covered with barriers. Barriers include warning information about the hazard encountered upon barrier removal.
xRF-7800WSAFETY SUMMARYRe. Personnel must react when someone is being electrically shocked. Perform the following steps:1. Shut off power.2. Call for help.3. Administer first aid if qualified.Under no circumstances should a person come directly in contact with the body unless the power has been removed. When immediate removal of the power is not possible, personnel must use a non-con-ductive material to try to jolt or pry the body away from the point of shock.f. Personnel should work with one hand whenever possible to prevent electrical current from passing through vital organs of the body. In addition, personnel must never work alone. Someone must be available in the immediate area to render emergency first aid, if necessary.g. Lifting can cause injury. Items weighing more than 37 pounds must be lifted by two or more people.h. Some electrolytic capacitors contain aluminum oxide or tantalum. If connected incorrectly, the capacitor will explode when power is applied. Extreme care must be used when replacing and connecting these capacitors. The capacitor terminals must always be connected using the correct polarity: positive to positive and negative to negative.The next section contains general safety precautions not directly related to specific procedures or equipment. These precautions are oriented toward the maintenance technician. However, all personnel must understand and apply these precautions during the many phases of operation and maintenance of the equipment. The following precautions must be observed:DO NOT SERVICE EQUIPMENT ALONENever work on electrical equipment unless another person familiar with the operation and hazards of the equipment is near. When the maintenance technician is aided by operators, ensure that operators are aware of the hazards.GROUNDINGAlways ensure that all equipment and assemblies are properly grounded when operating or servicing.TURN OFF POWER AND GROUND CAPACITORSWhenever possible, power to equipment should be turned off before beginning work on the equipment. Be sure to ground all capacitors that are potentially dangerous.KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITSOperators and maintainers must observe all safety regulations at all times. Do not change components or make adjustments inside equipment with a high voltage supply on unless required by the procedure. Under certain conditions, dangerous potentials may exist in circuits with power controls off, due to charges retained by capacitors.DO NOT BYPASS INTERLOCKSDo not bypass any interlocks unnecessarily. If it is necessary to employ an interlock bypass for equipment servicing, use extreme care not to come in contact with hazardous voltages.

1-1RF-7800WGENERAL INFORMATIONRCHAPTER 1GENERAL INFORMATION1.1 INTRODUCTIONThe scope and overall intent of this manual is to help the user understand how to install and operate the RF-7800W High Capacity Line of Sight (HCLOS) radio.1.2 RELATED MANUALSTable 1-1 identifies the related manuals that support the RF-7800W HCLOS radio.1.3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The RF-7800W HCLOS broadband Ethernet radio is designed to be used in multiple mission configurations to provide a seamless extension of Layer 2 Ethernet Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs). The RF-7800W-OU47x and RF-7800W-OU50x models provide high data rates by way of Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology. Each wireless network consists of two or more RF-7800W systems configured either for Simple Point-to-Point (SPTP) or Simple Point-to-MultiPoint (SPMP) operation. One radio in each wireless network operates as a Sector Controller (SC) while the others operate as Subscriber Stations (SS).The RF-7800W-OU47x and RF-7800W-OU50x model radios are designed to provide robust, long-range backbone connectivity. The frequency range for the RF-7800W-OU47x is 4.4 to 5.0 GHz and the frequency range for the RF-7800W-OU50x is 4.4 to 5.875 GHz. The radio models support four channel bandwidths (5, 10, 20, 40 MHz) in both SPTP and SPMP modes of operation with operating frequency selection in increments of 0.5 MHz. The radios feature easy-to-use management interfaces, an internal Global Positioning System (GPS) module, and a management-only port. The GPS module provides the radio location and very accurate time synchronization. The management port can be used to ensure isolation of user and management traffic when external Inline Network Encryption (INE) devices are in use.The RF-7800W-OU47x/-OU50x radio is FIPS 140-2 level 2 certified. Refer to RF-7800W-OU47X/-OU50X Security Operation Supplement (10515-0426-4000) for more information.The RF-7800W-OU47x and RF-7800W-OU50x radios can be installed with various antennas.

2-1RF-7800WSYSTEM INSTALLATIONRCHAPTER 2SYSTEM INSTALLATION2.1 INTRODUCTIONConsider the following before installing a RF-7800W High Capacity Line of Sight (HCLOS) Radio system:•Environmental and Line of Sight concerns•Link Availability•System Configuration•Co-location2.1.1 Environmental and Line of Sight ConcernsThe RF-7800W is a microwave radio, which demands better Line of Sight (LOS) conditions than other radios that operate with a lower frequency. Optical Line of Sight (OLOS) alone may not be adequate enough to maintain a healthy link between radios. The radio operates at a lower power than other Harris radios, but high-gain antennas give it the ability to link over many tens of kilometers in some situations. At these distances, weather and the curvature of the Earth can become major factors affecting link quality. A thorough propagation study and analysis using industry standard ITU recommended guidelines should be performed before deploying radios in an unknown or unfamiliar location.2.1.2 Link AvailabilityHarris provides a free tool to users that wish to perform a simple evaluation of a single RF-7800W radio link under ideal environmental and terrain conditions. The Link Budget Tool (included with CD-ROM) provides a rudimentary calculation of annual Link Availability (Uptime) and can help users choose the right antenna for their specific installation.2.1.3 System ConfigurationThere are two configuration types:•Simple Point to Point (SPTP) - Two RF-7800W radios are used, one as a Sector Controller (SC) and one as a Subscriber Station (SS). •Simple Point to Multipoint (SPMP) - Two or more RF-7800W radios are used, one as a Sector Controller (SC) and the rest as Subscriber Stations (SS).NOTEPrevious generations of the RF-7800W radio used the terms Master/Slave instead of SC/SS.Some RF-7800W link configuration and statistics are split into downlink and uplink. The downlink direction always refers to data or signals transmitted away from the SC toward an SS. The uplink direction always refers to data or signals transmitted by the SS toward the SC.
2-2RF-7800WSYSTEM INSTALLATIONR2.1.4 Co-locationRadio co-location on a single mast or tower system is sometimes unavoidable. A number of strategies can be employed to reduce the possibility of interference between radios. Higher gain antennas typically have a narrower beamwidth, which can help increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR) if they are not pointed in the same direction. If possible, co-located radios should use operating frequencies that are at least one full channel width away from each other.2.2 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTSRefer to Table 2-1. In preparation for installing a RF-7800W HCLOS Radio system, the following items that are not included are required.These items are also not included, but are needed in order to maximize equipment performance:•Outdoor rated, shielded Category 5e (or higher) Ethernet cable with shielded RJ-45 connectors. Amphenol RJF6B backshells (key code 'A') should be added to any cables used to protect the radio's internal from moisture. (Harris PN 12069-0030-Axxx and 12069-0031-Axxx)•Dual-linear (V/H) polarized antennas in order to operate at full throughput capacity. (Harris PN RF-7800W-AT 2 X X )The installation site should be free from major twist or sway under wind loading. A higher mounting location will help guarantee better Line of Sight (LOS) conditions, but can increase the risk of damage due to lightning. The mounting location should also provide a clear view of the sky for GPS, if required.2.3 PRE-INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONTime can be saved and hassle avoided by configuring all of the RF-7800W radios before they are permanently installed. Two Ethernet cables and a computer with an Ethernet port are required for this step.2.3.1 Connecting to a Radioa. Connect an Ethernet cable between the J1 PoE port in the radio and the OUT port on the PoE injector, allowing up to three (3) minutes for the radio to boot.Table 2-1.

Configure the computer's IP address so that it is different than the radio's default IP address (192.168.26.2), but also on the same subnet (255.255.255.0). The address should be in the range 192.168.26.1 - 192.168.26.254.d. Open a web browser to the radio's address and log in using the default credentials (admin/admin).See Figure 2-1.2.3.2 Configure the Subscriber Stationsa. Select System Configuration, change the IP Address from the default to a unique value, and select Apply & Save All. This ensures that each radio can be properly accessed once wireless Links establish. See Figure 3-4. b. Reconfigure the computer's IP Address if necessary (e.g. if the radio IP Address was set outside of the range 192.168.26.1-192.168.26.254).c. Open a web browser to the radio's new address and log in.d. Select Wireless Configuration, configure the Frequency and Channel Size based on frequency availability, and select Apply & Save All. These settings must be the same for all radios that are to be linked. See Figure 3-16.e. Change the Tx Power, if necessary, and select Apply & Save All.f. Perform the System and Wireless Configuration for all other SS radios, recording each radio's MAC address if using Normal Links as they will be needed when configuring the SC radio. Otherwise, ensure that the STID and STID Password match those of the SC radio if using Link templates.NOTESTID Password defaults to “default”. 2.3.3 Configure the Sector Controllera.

In the navigation menu go to Configuration > Subscriber Links, click the Add Link button, then repeat Step g.i. Select Save All in the Dashboard once all Links have been added.2.4 INSTALLATION2.4.1 Hardware Installationa. Mounting the RadioA radio ancillary kit is available with a bracket that is designed to mount the radio and an antenna to a vertical pipe or mast with a diameter of 1.5 to 4.0 inches. The radio can be mounted on either side of the bracket but should be installed with the Ethernet port facing the ground (see Figure 2-2). 7/16” tools (Items 1 & 2) are needed to assemble the bracket and install the radio. If using an RF-7800W-PA50x, refer to the RF-7800W-PA50x Op Card (10515-6835) for additional information.b. Mounting the AntennaMost of the antennas designed for use with the radio will mount to the front portion of the mounting bracket. Support for other mounting styles like a vertical whip antenna can be achieved by swapping out the front bracket with another design. The antenna bracket that comes in the ancillary kit is designed to tilt the antenna through 45° of elevation about the horizon.c. Lightning Protection (recommended)Cables running down from equipment that is mounted on a roof, tower, or portable mast system provide a path for lightning to surge into other equipment on the premise. A properly grounded lightning protector installed at the bottom of the mast or at the entrance to a building can protect both personnel and other equipment from damage due to lightning.

2-6RF-7800WSYSTEM INSTALLATIONR2.4.2 Connecting Cablesa. Grounding (recommended)Connect the ring terminal of a grounding wire (Item 8) to the radio's ground terminal (see Figure 2-3) using a #2 Phillips driver (Item 3). Connect the other end to a single, central grounding point. Avoid sharp bends in the wire. Apply silicone grease (Item 5) to ground connection points to maximize corrosion protection.WARNINGInadequate grounding presents a personnel hazard that could damage the equipment or result in serious injury or death.b. RF CablesThe radio's ancillary kit comes with two RF cables. Under most circumstances (using dual-linear polarized antennas), it does not matter which radio RF port (see Figure 2-4) is connected to which antenna RF port. For troubleshooting purposes, it can be helpful to be consistent by connecting RF-1 to the Vertical port and RF-2 to the Horizontal port.c. Ethernet CableConnect the weather-protected end of an Ethernet cable to the J1 PoE port on the radio. Provide proper strain relief for the cable with a zip tie (Item 4), providing a drip loop. Connect the other end of this cable to either a lightning protector, or to the OUT port of the PoE injector provided in the ancillary kit. Connect the IN port of the PoE injector to the network, then plug the power cord into a power source.d. Weather ResistanceWrap any exposed RF and Ethernet cable connectors with several layers of weather resistant electrical tape (Item 6). Wrap the tape as close as possible to the radio chassis and far enough up the cable to prevent moisture from contacting any part of the connector. If desired, wrap vapor seal compound (Item 7) around the electrical tape around the connectors. This will provide additional water resistance in harsh environments.

2-8RF-7800WSYSTEM INSTALLATIONR2.4.3 Alignmenta. Determining RSSIUsing the audio buzzer works best when the installer is in close proximity to the radio. The buzzer can be controlled by logging into the radio and navigating to Wireless > Antenna Alignment Buzzer Enable. It will buzz fast for higher RSSI levels and slow for lower RSSI levels.Using the radio GUI works best when the installer is too far away to hear the audio buzzer. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the radio. Log into the radio and either click on Subscriber Links (SPMP SC) or Antenna Alignment (SPMP SS, SPTP SC, SPTP SS). See Figure 2-5.b. Establish a Preliminary LinkLoosen the long bolts on the mounting bracket to adjust the antenna's azimuth to within a few degrees of line of sight. Tighten the bolts back up when finished.Loosen the bolts on the mounting bracket's sides to adjust the antenna's elevation. If the linked radio is more than 22.5° above or below the horizon, additional hardware may be required to properly aim the antenna. Tighten the bolts back up when finished.c. Tips for Fine Tuning the Link•Use a pair of installers that are able to communicate with each other.•Align one end at a time, starting with the Sector Controller (SC).•Monitor changes to one site at the other, i.e. look for the best signal at the SC from the SS radio and vice-versa.•Do not make simultaneous adjustments to the azimuth and elevation.•Incrementally adjust the azimuth until the best RSSI is found, then adjust the elevation.•If propagation conditions and antenna alignments are good, both RF ports of a given radio should be within 3 dB of each other.•When alignment is complete, lock down all brackets using a wrench.

3-1RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONRCHAPTER 3SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION3.1 INTRODUCTIONThe scope of this chapter is to provide a logical grouping of system administration and configuration items relative to the following management interfaces; Graphical User Interface (GUI), Command Line Interface (CLI), and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). For each item, an interface indicator is shown that lets the user know that the item can be accessed through one or more of the three management interfaces (see below for an example).Refer to the following sections:•General Radio Configuration Information - Paragraph 3.2•Navigating User Interfaces - Paragraph 3.3•Basic Information - Paragraph 3.4•Network Interface - Paragraph 3.5•Management Interfaces - Paragraph 3.6•Time and Location - Paragraph 3.7•Wireless Interface - Paragraph 3.8 •Subscribers Links - Paragraph 3.9•Maintenance - Paragraph 3.103.2 GENERAL RADIO CONFIGURATION INFORMATIONThe radio has two data ports and two RF ports. RF ports are described in Paragraph 3.8. The Console data port provides an interface to locally manage the radio's configuration, while remote management can be performed via the Ethernet data port.GUI CLI SNMP
3-2RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONRDefault values of IP management interfaces are shown in Table 3-1.* In addition to the default static IP Address, the radio uses ZeroConf technologies to automatically self-assign a second unique IP Address and a hostname and to advertise the presence of its management interfaces (HTTP and SSH). The ZeroConf services are intended solely to ease initial configuration and are disabled once an operator configures a new static IP Address.The Console data port interface uses RS-422 with port settings as shown in Table 3-2.The factory default login credentials are shown in Table 3-3. The “Admin” user group is meant to be used for changing the configuration of the radio. The “User” user group has access to less configuration permissions, but is simpler to use. The “Monitor” user group is meant to be used by machine interfaces that only need read access to small set of commands. Changes to the radio's configuration are not applied until an “apply” or “save” command is issued in any of the management interfaces. Even after applying the changes to the active configuration, the changes must be saved to the on-board memory by issuing a “save” command. If the configuration is applied but not saved, a power loss or an intentional reboot will cause any changes made since the last “save” to be lost.Table 3-1.

3-3RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.3 NAVIGATING USER INTERFACES3.3.1 Navigating the GUIMost functionality of the radio can be configured or monitored through the GUI. The information dashboard (shown in Figure 3-1) can be found at the top of the page and provides important information about the radio's current status. Clicking different links in the navigation menu (shown in Figure 3-2) provides access to different detailed sections of the radio's configuration.Figure 3-1. DashboardFigure 3-2. Navigation Menu (SPMP SC Configuration Shown)
3-4RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.3.2 Navigating the CLIThe CLI is designed for power users and machine interfaces. In order to assist a user with the command line, the syntax of a command can be displayed by entering a single question mark “?” after a command or at the prompt. Typing the “up arrow” scrolls through the most recently entered commands. The CLI also allows a user to auto-complete commands by pressing the “tab” key after typing the first few letters. Summaries of the radio's current configuration and statistics can be viewed using the “show” commands. Additional information pertaining to the CLI, including a comprehensive list of CLI commands, is available in the RF-7800W-OU47x/-OU50x CLI Supplement (10515-0426-4020).3.3.3 Navigating SNMPThe radio implements SNMP for remote network management functionality. Many of the functions available in the GUI and/or the CLI are also available via SNMP. In the interest of security, functions related to encryption certificates, keys and secure management interfaces are not accessible via SNMP. The latest version of the radio's Management Information Base (MIB) part number (12069-8900) can be found on the Harris Premier site (https://tcpremier.harris.com). Additional information pertaining to SNMP, including a comprehensive list of MIB objects, is available in the RF-7800W-OU47x/-OU50x SNMP Supplement (10515-0426-4040).3.4 BASIC INFORMATIONThe subsections below describe radio system information and hardware details.3.4.1 System Information The System Name, Details, Location and Contact fields can be used to describe details about a particular radio’s installation.The unique Serial Number given to each radio is encoded on the 2D-UID label on the side of the radio chassis and available in software.The Start-Up Time and Current Time are recovered via SNTP or GPS if either is available. Both times are adjusted from GMT by the Time Zone setting. See Figure 3-3. 3.4.2 Hardware DetailsThe Radio Model and Radio Type fields describe details about the radio's hardware configuration. The radio includes a number of temperature sensors inside the chassis. The current internal temperature of the radio is available and displayed on the Dashboard.GUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMP
3-5RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.5 NETWORK INTERFACEThe radio hosts a number of management interfaces that can be accessed via IP. This section describes the information and configuration options available for basic network configuration. See Figure 3-4.3.5.1 Ethernet PortThe subsections below describe Ethernet Port configuration parameters. All parameters for Ethernet Port can be accessed using GUI, CLI, and SNMP interfaces.3.5.1.1 MAC AddressThis is the unique Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Ethernet port. It is set by the factory and not user-configurable. This address may be required when setting up the wireless interface.3.5.1.2 Port ModeThe Ethernet port can be configured to automatically detect the port settings based on the capabilities of the attached device, or fixed to a particular port speed and duplex setting. Note that the port speed and duplex settings must be compatible with the attached device, or communication could be disrupted.Figure 3-3. General InformationGUI CLI SNMP
3-6RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.5.1.3 Current Port SpeedWhen the radio is set to automatically detect the Ethernet port settings, this is the port speed and duplex setting that is detected and in use.3.5.2 StatisticsThe radio logs the number of Ethernet data packets that have been transmitted and received. The radio also provides the number of packets that are received with errors, which could indicate problems with the port speed or duplex settings.3.5.2.1 AddressingThe subsections below describe Addressing configuration parameters. All parameters for Addressing can be accessed using GUI, CLI, and SNMP interfaces.3.5.2.2 IP AddressThis is the IP address of the radio's management interfaces. The factory default address is 192.168.26.2.3.5.2.3 Subnet MaskThis is the subnet mask of the radio's management interfaces. The factory default for this address is 255.255.255.0, which means that only devices with a 192.168.26.x IP address can access the radio.3.5.2.4 Default GatewayThis is the default gateway of the radio's management interfaces. The factory default for this address is 192.168.26.1. If access to the radio's management interfaces is needed from multiple subnets, this address must be the IP address of a router that can forward traffic to and from those subnets.GUI CLI SNMP
3-7RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONRFigure 3-4. System Configuration
3-8RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.6 MANAGEMENT INTERFACESThe radio can be managed over a number of IP-based interfaces. This section describes how to configure these different management interfaces. A standard web browser can be used to configure the radio over HTTP or HTTPS. See Figure 3-4.3.6.1 Graphical User Interface (GUI)The subsections below describe GUI Management Interfaces configuration parameters. 3.6.1.1 HTTPThe HTTP service is turned on by default, but can be turned off in the interest of security. Google Chrome 45, Mozilla Firefox 38 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 are currently the only supported web browsers, but others might also be functional.3.6.1.2 HTTPSThe HTTPS service can be turned on and off. A host X.509 certificate and private key pair are pre-installed, but can be overwritten with a user-generated certificate. A host X.509 certificate and private key pair must be loaded in order to use HTTPS in FIPS Mode. Refer to Paragraph 3.10.2.3.6.1.3 GUI Idle TimeoutThe GUI can be set up to automatically log off after ten minutes of inactivity. After nine minutes of inactivity, a warning message is displayed to draw attention to a foreground tab, while the web browser Favicon is toggled between two states to draw attention to a background tab that is about to log off. See Figure 3-5.3.6.2 Command Line Interface (CLI)The subsections below describe CLI Management Interfaces configuration parameters.3.6.2.1 TelnetThe Telnet service is turned on by default, but can be turned off in the interest of security. The operating port can also be changed from the default port number 23.Figure 3-5. Favicon StatesGUI CLI SNMPGUI CLIGUI CLIGUI CLI SNMP
3-9RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.6.2.2 SSHThe SSH service can be turned on and off. A host key is pre-installed, but can be overwritten with a user-generated host key. Refer to Paragraph 3.10.2.3.6.3 Local Users (Role-Based Authentication)The subsections below describe Users Management Interfaces configuration parameters. All parameters for Users Management can only be accessed using GUI or CLI interfaces. See Figure 3-6.3.6.3.1 Viewing User AccountsThe list of accounts that are able to access the GUI and CLI can be viewed from each interface. Each account has a password, group, SNMP v3 Authentication and SNMP v3 Privacy method assigned. These accounts are designed for Role-Based authentication, defined by the account groups. If User-Based authentication is required, a separate RADIUS server can be used to expand the number of possible user accounts beyond the five account limit.3.6.3.2 Adding a User AccountUser accounts can be added to the list by members of the Admin group. An Admin account user name and password is required before a new user account can be added. New user account passwords must be longer than eight characters.3.6.3.3 Changing a User AccountUser accounts can be modified by members of the Admin user group. An Admin account user name and password is required before an account can be modified. User accounts are permitted to modify their own password.3.6.3.4 Deleting a UserUser accounts can be deleted by members of the Admin user group. An Admin account user name and password is required before a user account can be deleted.GUI CLIGUI CLI

3-11RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.6.4 SNMPThe subsections below describe SNMP Management Interfaces configuration parameters. Click on the blue [SNMP Configuration] link shown in Figure 3-4 to access the screen. See Figure 3-7.3.6.4.1 SNMP VersionsSNMP v2c and SNMP v3 are the supported network management versions. Only one version can be active at a time.3.6.4.2 CommunitiesCommunity configuration is required for SNMP v2c only. The communities are simple passwords for an SNMP polling agent that control whether the agent can perform read, write, or both types of operations on SNMP objects in the radio. The default communities are “public” and “private” with read-only and read-write operations permitted, respectively.3.6.4.3 TrapsSNMP traps are notifications that are sent to pre-defined destinations when certain events occur. These event notifications are useful in large, heavily managed network infrastructures because they simplify the network manager's monitoring responsibilities. Depending on the network management tool used, traps can initiate high-priority e-mails or SMS text messages to a network administrator that can be used to quickly diagnose a problem with the network.GUI CLIGUI CLIGUI CLI SNMP
3-12RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.6.5 AccessThe interface for radio management traffic and over-the-link traffic is shared on the Ethernet port. In certain situations, it may be desirable to separate the management traffic from the over-the-link traffic. This can be done within the radio by tagging management traffic with a specific 802.1Q Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Identification (ID).3.6.6 Remote Users (User-Based Authentication)The subsections below describe RADIUS Management Interfaces configuration parameters. Click on the blue [RADIUS Configuration] link shown in Figure 3-4 to access the screen. See Figure 3-8.3.6.6.1 RADIUSRADIUS support ties the radio's user-authentication system into an existing enterprise system to enable existing user names and passwords to be used to log into the radio. It can be configured to work with the radio's user-authentication system, or as a replacement for it.Figure 3-7. SNMP Configuration GUI CLIGUI CLI
3-13RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.6.7 FIPS ModeThe radio can be placed into a high security FIPS 140-2 compliant mode when certain security configuration criteria is met. The “FIPS” text in the dashboard of the GUI links to a summary that indicates the current status of configuration parameters against the corresponding requirements. Once all criteria is met, FIPS Mode can be activated. A reboot is prompted by the radio and is required before FIPS Mode is fully active. Refer to RF-7800W-OU47X/-OU50X Security Operation Supplement (10515-0426-4000) for more information on FIPS. See Figure 3-9.Figure 3-8. RADIUS Configuration GUI CLI
3-14RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.7 TIME AND LOCATIONThe radio has some time and location options available that can help with system troubleshooting and maintenance. See Figure 3-4.3.7.1 SNTPThe subsections below describe Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) configuration parameters. All parameters for SNTP can be accessed using GUI, CLI, and SNMP interfaces.3.7.1.1 Server IP AddressThis is the IP address of a valid SNTP server that the radio can use to determine the current time.3.7.1.2 Polling IntervalThis interval defines the period of time between polls to the SNTP server for time. Periodic polling is required to synchronize time with other network devices. The radio can be directed to poll the SNTP server on demand using SNMP.3.7.1.3 Time Zone (GMT)This defines how much offset is applied to time that is received by the SNTP service. This should be set to the time zone where the radio is located in order to provide an accurate time.3.7.2 GPSThe subsections below describe Global Positioning System (GPS) configuration parameters. All parameters for GPS can be accessed using GUI, CLI, and SNMP interfaces.Figure 3-9. FIPS StatusGUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMP
3-15RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.7.2.1 Antenna PowerThe radio can power active GPS antennas with an internal 3.3 VDC power supply. The power supply has automatic short-circuit protection that will protect the radio in the event of an incompatible or broken antenna.3.7.2.2 Coordinates FormatA number of latitude and longitude datum formats can be selected, depending on a user's preference.3.7.2.3 GPS PositionIf a GPS antenna is properly attached and configured and has good line-of-sight to enough GPS satellites, the position of the radio is made available.3.7.2.4 GPS StatusA more detailed overview of the internal GPS module's state can be obtained, which displays the radio's altitude, GPS-recovered time, and information about the satellites in view of the GPS antenna.The radio can be configured to send an SNMP trap if the number of GPS Satellites in view is low, or if the number of GPS satellites in view has been low for 12 hours. Both of these traps could indicate a problem with the GPS antenna configuration. See Figure 3-10.Figure 3-10. GPS Status
3-16RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.8 WIRELESS INTERFACEThe radio has one wireless interface that consists of two RF ports. This section describes the information and configuration options available for the wireless interface. See Figure 3-14, Figure 3-15, Figure 3-16, and Figure 3-17.3.8.1 System ModeThe radio can operate in multiple system modes under two configuration types. Refer to Paragraph 2.1.3 for more information about the configuration types.Simple Point to Multiple Points (SPMP) and Simple Point to Point (SPTP) provide simple setup and configuration.The central radio in a SPMP system, or Sector Controller (SC), is responsible for transmitting management, timing, and provisioning information to all configured radios within a sector. It controls the list of radio links and periodically transmits a beacon that allows new radios in the sector to link up. The Subscriber Station (SS) is one of the edge nodes in a SPMP system. The SS is responsible for feeding back information about the quality of the radio link to the SC, which allows the SC to optimize transmissions.3.8.2 Radio ModeThe radio has two RF ports, which can be used either together or individually. The RF ports can also be turned off, for maintenance or troubleshooting.3.8.3 Transmit PowerThe transmit power settings are described below.3.8.3.1 MaximumThe maximum transmit power applies to both RF ports. This is used to limit the transmit power for Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) or co-channel interference reasons.Even though the Transmit Power may be set to a particular value, the radio will not necessarily operate at that level. There are a few factors which dictate what actual Transmit Power will be used for a particular transmission burst: current RF Frequency and current Burst Rate. Refer to Table 3-4 for details regarding the Transmit Power behavior. Refer to Table 3-5 for Burst Rates.Table 3-4.

3-17RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.8.3.2 ATPCATPC stands for Automatic Transmit Power Control and is useful for reducing co-site interference or dealing with dynamically changing link conditions. A target RSSI is set on the SC radio, which is used as the goal for all radio links. If link conditions are degraded and the current transmit power is lower than the maximum configured transmit power, radios will increase their power in order to meet the target RSSI. When link conditions improve, radios reduce their power accordingly. All radios will respect the configured maximum transmit power setting. ATPC supports adjusting the Tx Power for the following System Modes: SPTP SC, SPTP SS, and SPMP SS.3.8.3.3 External PAAn external Power Amplifier (PA) can be attached to the radio in order to extend range and increase signal coverage. Entering the nominal transmit gain and receive gain (or loss) of the PA provides the radio awareness of the actual power level being transmitted and received by the system. This information can be used by various features to improve performance compared to if the radio was not aware of the presence of the PA.3.8.3.4 StatisticsThe actual transmit power depends on a number of things, including Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) settings and dynamic link conditions. The current transmit power and other related statistics are logged. Transmit power statistics are adjusted when using an external PA such that the values shown correspond with the output of the PA to the antenna.3.8.4 FrequencyThe frequency settings are described below.3.8.4.1 ConfigurationThe frequency of operation can be configured at 0.5 MHz intervals anywhere within the radio's operating band. The configured frequency is limited to half of the configured channel width away from the low and high ends of the operating band. Depending on DFS or EIM settings, the actual operating frequency might differ from the configured operating frequency.3.8.4.2 Auto-ScanRadios configured as Subscriber Stations have the ability to quickly auto-scan frequency and channel width if a Sector Controller is not detected within a period of time. This allows SS radios to automatically locate a valid SC 16-QAM 3/4 18 20 2064-QAM 2/3 18 18 1864-QAM 5/6 18 18 18256-QAM 3/4 15 15 15256-QAM 7/8 15 15 15Table 3-4.

It can also be helpful when an SS is configured on multiple SCs and one of the SC is interfered with or is taken down for maintenance.3.8.4.3 RoamingSubscriber Stations have the ability to scan different frequencies and channel sizes for Sector Controllers while maintaining a link to an SC. Once an SC is discovered that is sufficiently better than the old SC, the SS will deregister with the old SC and register with the new SC. The new SC then sends Layer 2 updates to the network for each MAC address that is located on the SS side of the link in order to make the network aware of the new location of the nodes. Refer to Paragraph 4.3 for additional Roaming information. Enabling Roaming will implicitly enable Auto-Scan.NOTERoaming reduces the maximum possible user data throughput by around 10 percent.NOTEThe Link ID may change when Roaming between SCs.NOTELLC packets are used for Layer 2 updates.3.8.4.4 Frequency ListsThe operating frequency band is sometimes wider than necessary for a given installation. Frequency lists allow for the radio to be further restricted from known interference or licensed frequency bands. The Auto-Scan, DFS and EIM features respect these frequency band limits. See Figure 3-11.GUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI
3-19RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.8.5 Channel WidthThe radio supports a number of different channel widths from 5 MHz to 40 MHz. Narrower channel widths allow for greater range due to improved receiver sensitivity, but the trade-off is lower throughput. Likewise, wider channel widths allow for higher throughput at the cost of link range. Some situations require restricting the channel widths due to co-site interference.3.8.6 Link DistanceThe radio supports restricting the maximum link distance if the installation is fixed-site in order to improve latency. The default value for this is 50 km (31 miles) and must be adjusted to be greater than the actual link distance or link performance will suffer.3.8.7 Antenna AlignmentThe radio provides aids to aligning the antenna to a remote radio. Radios can be configured to emit a chirping sound (referred to as a buzzer) that chirps faster with higher average Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). The radio GUI also contains a page that refreshes every second and displays the RSSI and Signal-to-Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINADR) for the link. Figure 3-11. Frequency ManagementGUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMP
3-20RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONRNOTEThis aid is not available on a SPMP SC if more than one link is present.3.8.8 SecuritySecurity settings are described below. All parameters for Security can only be accessed using GUI and CLI interfaces.3.8.8.1 Encryption TypeThe radio supports AES encryption of all user and management data sent over the air. AES is implemented and available in both 128-bit and 256-bit block lengths.3.8.8.2 Shared SecretAES encryption uses a key that is derived from a pre-shared secret. The secret must be between 32 and 64 alphanumeric characters.3.8.8.3 Shared Secret HashA convenient and secure method of ruling out mismatched shared secrets is to compare a truncated, one-way hash of the shared secret. If shared secrets have been entered properly on both sides of a radio link, the shared secret hashes will be identical.3.8.8.4 X.509 AuthenticationAn additional method of security is implemented that uses X.509 certificates to authenticate the radios that are configured to link over the air. The radio authenticates the certificate of its link partner before finishing the link-up process. Refer to RF-7800W-OU47x/-OU50x Security Operation Supplement (10515-0426-4000) for more information.3.8.8.5 SC MAC AddressThe MAC address of an SC can be used to restrict a radio configured for SS operation to only link with that SC. To link with any valid SC, the default value 00:00:00:00:00:00 should be used.3.8.9 Interference MitigationInterference Mitigation settings are described below. All parameters for Interference Mitigation can be accessed using GUI, CLI, and SNMP interfaces. The radio employs multiple methods of dealing with co-channel interference. Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Enhanced Interference Mitigation (EIM) are mutually exclusive. DFS is required for Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) compliance in certain frequency bands and designed for radar detection and avoidance. EIM is intended for general interference detection and designed to maintain healthy operating links in response to both deliberate and accidental interference.GUI CLIGUI CLI SNMP
3-21RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONRNOTEDFS is currently supported for the 5.725 - 5.875 GHz band per ETSI EN 302 502.3.8.9.1 DFS ActionDFS can be configured to either turn off the radio transmitter for 30 minutes or change the radio's operating frequency. If either event occurs, a DFS event trap is sent via SNMP to any configured receivers. The channel change feature respects the configured frequency list. When the radio changes channels, it also turns the transmitter off for one minute and monitors the channel. If radar is detected again, the radio will continue to change channels until a vacant channel is found.3.8.9.2 Antenna GainDFS requires knowledge of the antenna in use in order to properly set the trigger sensitivity. The default gain is set to the highest gain antenna that is offered for use with the radio, but should be changed to the gain of the actual antenna in use. When this setting is higher than the actual antenna gain, the radio is not sensitive enough to radar signals. Conversely, the radio will be too sensitive and may inadvertently trigger a DFS event if this is set lower than the actual antenna gain.3.8.9.3 EIM DetectionSince interference may not affect both radios in a link, EIM is configured to detect interference separately on the SC and SS radios. EIM looks for unusually low SINADR for a given RSSI, unusually high bit-error rates and an unusually high noise floor. Link Min Burst Rates are used as the threshold for interference detection. The Min Burst Rate should be set to the lowest value that achieves the necessary throughput for a particular Link. SNMP traps are sent to network managers when EIM events occur and when interference has cleared.3.8.9.4 EIM Auto Channel ChangeWhen interference is detected, the radio has the option of initiating all radios to jump to a new, potentially cleaner operating frequency. There is minimal downtime when this occurs. The radios will iterate through a number of frequencies. If interference is found on many different frequencies, one likely conclusion is that the radio is being deliberately interfered with over its entire operating band. This situation is known as “barrage interference” and results in the radios settling on the last operating frequency. Auto-Scan should be enabled on SS when using EIM Auto Channel Change to account for situations in which radios are unable to link after a channel change due to high interference levels. When the radios change channels and if barrage interference is detected, different SNMP traps are sent to network managers.NOTEEIM Auto Channel Change reduces the maximum possible user data throughput by around 10 percent.3.8.9.5 EIM Relative Noise FloorWhile EIM is turned on, the radios monitor the noise floor of the channel during the quiet periods between transmissions. The difference between the expected noise and the measured noise is displayed as the relative noise floor. This value will vary with different installation environments. A sharp increase in this value relative to the average value could indicate the presence of interference.
3-22RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.8.10 Multi-HopSector Controllers can act as the root of a tree-like, Multi-Hop sector. In a Multi-Hop sector, subscribers are able to relay data directly to/from other subscribers that are below them in the hierarchy. Radios lower in the hierarchy (i.e. further away from the SC) are referred to as “children”, while those higher in the hierarchy are referred to as “parents”. Subscribers continuously check for the presence of potential parents and select the one that should provide the best throughput. Refer to Paragraph 3.8.4.3.Throughput decreases when data travels through multiple hops since the data needs to be transmitted multiple times in order to get to the end destination. See Figure 3-12. Latency increases when data travels through multiple hops since each relay station needs to store and forward the data. See Figure 3-13.Figure 3-12. Throughput vs Number of HopsFigure 3-13.

3-23RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.8.10.1 Multi-Hop FailoverA subscriber can be designated to support Multi-Hop Failover, which allows it to act as a temporary Failover SC if the actual SC becomes inaccessible. Once the actual SC becomes accessible again, the Failover SC reverts back to its role as an SS.NOTEOnly one subscriber in a Multi-Hop sector should be configured to support Multi-Hop Failover.3.8.11 Registration PeriodThe Registration Period defines how frequently an SC will check for new subscribers and also how frequently the SC will transmit multicast data (for SPMP). A short Registration Period will decrease the potential unicast throughput and increase the potential multicast throughput. A long Registration Period will increase the potential unicast throughput and decrease the potential multicast throughput.3.8.12 Scheduling CycleThe Scheduling Cycle defines how frequently the different Links will be allowed to transmit. A short Scheduling Cycle can reduce latency at the expense of throughput, while a long Scheduling Cycle can improve throughput at the expense of latency.3.8.13 StatisticsThe radio provides the number of transmitted and received data packets, along with how many packets were retransmitted or discarded due to errors.GUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMP

An administrator can also purge all subscriber information from the radio. Click the New Link button on the Subscriber Links screen, Figure 3-22, to access the Subscriber Link Configuration screen. See Figure 3-18 and Figure 3-19.3.9.1 ManagementLinks can be added, modified or removed on the SC. They are given unique IDs that are used heavily in the CLI and SNMP when configuring or monitoring. Links can be viewed in summary on the SC or in detail on both the SC and the SS. The summary views include metrics that are useful for evaluating the performance of the radio system as a whole, including per-link RSSI, SINADR and burst rate. The detail views provide complete information about a link's configuration and current state.3.9.2 Basic Link InformationBasic link settings are described below.3.9.2.1 Link TypeSPMP supports configuration of two Link Types—Normal Links and Link Templates—on the SC. Normal Links allow a particular SS to register with the SC, with access controlled via the unit’s MAC Address. Link Templates allow an arbitrary number of SS to register with an SC, with access controlled via a Station Template Identifier (STID) and STID Password.A Derived Link is automatically generated when an SS registers with an SC and inherits the properties of its parent Link Template. Normal Links take precedence over Link Templates when a Normal Link is defined for a particular SS and that SS is configured with an STID and STID Password which correspond with a Link Template.3.9.2.2 EnableNormal Links, Link Templates, and Derived Links may be enabled or disabled in order to permit or deny registration. While enabling or disabling a Normal Link or Derived Link affects the ability of a single SS to register, enabling or disabling a Link Template affects the ability of all SS configured with the correct STID and STID Password to register.3.9.2.3 Link NameEach Normal Link can be given a name to help an administrator keep track of it. It may be helpful to use the SS radio's serial number or install location. Derived Links are automatically given a name composed of its parent Link Template STID and the SS System Name.NOTEIn the event that there is a naming conflict between Derived Links, the SS MAC Address will be used instead of the SS System Name.GUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMP
3-29RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.9.2.4 Subscriber MACThe unique MAC address of the SS radio is required when defining a new Normal Link.3.9.2.5 STIDThe STID is used as a name to differentiate between Link Templates.3.9.2.6 STID PasswordThe STID Password provides authentication to associate with a particular STID. The STID Password Hash provides a way of determining whether the STID Password is configured the same on two radios without disclosing the actual passwords.3.9.2.7 Link Partner IP AddressOnce the SS radio has successfully linked up with the SC, each radio's IP address is made available in the link details of the opposite radio as a convenient way to quickly log into the radio's management GUI.3.9.3 Modulation and Coding RatesModulation and Coding rate settings are described below.3.9.3.1 Adaptive ModulationIn order to handle dynamic link conditions, Adaptive Modulation should be employed. The radio monitors the bit-error rate of data that is received over the link and dynamically controls both the downlink and uplink burst rates in order to minimize bit errors and prevent links from dropping altogether.GUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMP

3-32RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.9.3.2 Burst RateWhen adaptive modulation is not used, a single set of downlink and uplink burst rates must be configured. If the burst rate is set too high for a given link budget, it will be difficult to initiate and maintain a reliable link. When adaptive modulation is used, maximum and minimum downlink and uplink burst rates must be configured. The radio will attempt to stay above the minimum, but will adapt to lower modulations if link conditions deteriorate. Refer to Table 3-5.3.9.4 Information RateThe Committed Information Rate (CIR) defines a link's minimum required user data rate. The Peak Information Rate (PIR) defines a link's maximum allowed user data rate. On a per-link basis, there are separate CIR and PIR values for both the downlink and uplink. The SC uses these values to assist with prioritizing how much traffic is sent over each link when there is not enough transmission time to get all data to all subscribers. The SC will attempt to ensure that the CIR is met on all subscribers, but may be forced to proportionally scale them if link conditions deteriorate and the burst rate is not able to support them.Table 3-5.

3-33RF-7800WSYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATIONR3.9.5 Data SmoothingThis is a security option that can be activated on a per-link basis. Data Smoothing adds random data to existing user traffic in order to even out each radio’s transmission time. This can help obscure the radios from timing-related attacks, but may have an impact on maximum user throughput when turned on (e.g. unidirectional traffic patterns).3.9.6 802.1p PrioritizationIn high-congestion situations, the SC can use 802.1p QoS Priority Code Point values to prioritize certain types of critical data streams (e.g. VoIP or RTSP video). The radio has four prioritization queues for traffic that are mapped to each of the eight 802.1p codes and untagged traffic. In times of high user throughput or congestion, data in the highest queues is transmitted before data in lower queues. This allows for trading off low priority data in favor of more important information.3.9.7 Broadcast and MulticastNon-unicast traffic like ARP broadcasts and multicast video streams are transmitted by the SPMP SC during its dedicated broadcast/multicast time slot. This time slot uses a similar subset of configuration parameters as the subscriber link configuration parameters. See Figure 3-20. Configuration and statistics can be accessed in the CLI by using 'bcast' in place of the subscriber Link ID for some commands.This time slot is dedicated only to downlink traffic (SC to SS), only one set of burst rates, CIR and PIR can be configured. This time slot can also be prioritized with 802.1p QoS Priority Code Point values. Deviating from the default settings is discouraged, since this can significantly affect the performance of certain types of traffic and is difficult to troubleshoot.SS and SPTP SC do not differentiate between broadcast/multicast and unicast traffic and treat them equally.3.9.7.1 SS to SS CommunicationNon-unicast traffic originating from SS radios can be kept segregated from or rebroadcast to all SS radios by the SC during the broadcast/multicast time slot.GUI CLIGUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMPGUI CLI SNMP

When a new version is uploaded, it overwrites the inactive version. In order to complete the upgrade process, the radio must be switched to the new, alternate version. On SC, firmware may be quickly distributed to all linked radios by initiating a sector upgrade. Upgrade success and failure SNMP traps can be generated by the radio to notify network administrators of the event.NOTEFor example, version 3.0 may be the active version and you may want to upgrade (downgrade) to version 2.0 which may be loaded in the inactive version.GUI CLI

See Figure 4-1. All radios must operate on the same Frequency and Channel Width. SS can communicate between each other by relaying through the SC, which reduces throughput and increases latency.Figure 4-1.

4-2RF-7800WDEPLOYMENT SCENARIOSR4.2.2 SPTPSimple Point to Point (SPTP) supports one SS at a time per SC. See Figure 4-2. Both radios must operate on the same Frequency and Channel Width. While SPMP can be used with one SS, SPTP is optimized to operate with only one SS and therefore has slightly different behavior.4.3 ON-THE-MOVEWhile the RF-7800W radio can operate On-the-Move with SPTP and SPMP, two mutually exclusive features supported by SPMP (Multi-Hop and Roaming) provide better performance.4.3.1 Multi-HopMulti-Hop allows SS to communicate directly with other SS in certain situations in order to maintain connectivity. Refer to Paragraph 3.8.10. All radios must operate on the same Frequency and Channel Width. All SS and the SC must be configured to use the same Link Template.See Figure 4-3, the panels of the figure are described below:Panel 1 - Multiple SS are linked directly to the SC.Panel 2 - SS N relays through SS 2.Panel 3 - SS N and SS 1 relay through SS 2.Panel 4 - SS N relays through SS 1 and SS 1 relays through SS 2.Panel 5 - SS 1 operates as a Failover SC, since the original SC is no longer accessible. When the original SC becomes accessible again, the SS not acting as Failover SC would link to the SC and eventually the Failover SC would revert to being an SS.4.3.2 RoamingRoaming allows SS to move between SC without losing network connectivity. Refer to Paragraph 3.8.4.3. All SC must be connected to the same network via their Ethernet ports. SC which can see each other must be on different Frequencies and may be on different Channel Widths. All SS and SC must be configured to use the same Link Template.Figure 4-2. SPTP DeploymentSPTP SCFREQ: ACH WID: XSPTP SSFREQ: ACH WID: X

5-1RF-7800WTROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCERCHAPTER 5TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE5.1 INTRODUCTIONThis chapter provides troubleshooting data necessary for fault isolation and preventive maintenance guidelines.5.1.1 Scope of this Chapter The procedures presented in this chapter assume that a Level I fault has led the user to suspect a fault with the RF-7800W HCLOS Radio. The user begins the troubleshooting process with the Factory Reset procedure.The maintainer will use the status code/system log troubleshooting procedures if there is a fault as a result of a status code or system log. The maintainer will use the non-BIT troubleshooting procedure if there is a non-Built-in Test (BIT) fault. The radio system is returned to operational readiness once the problem is found and corrected.5.2 TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURESTroubleshooting starts with the factory reset procedure described below. NOTEFactory defaults can be restored using either the Command Line interface (CLI) command of save defaultconfig [Enter] or Factory Defaults utility in the Navigation menu (left side pane) of the GUI.5.2.1 Factory Reset ProcedureSee Figure 5-1. It may be necessary to reset to the factory IP address (e.g. due to lost admin user name and password). This can be accomplished by having local access to the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector, the ability to power-cycle the RF-7800W HCLOS Radio, a PC with a Telnet client, and an Ethernet cable. Perform the following procedure to reset the factory default IP address:a. Connect a PC to the input connector of a PoE Injector using an Ethernet cable.b. Connect the RF-7800W HCLOS Radio to the output connector of the PoE supply using an Ethernet cable and leave the radio powered on for a few minutes. c. Open a command prompt window on the PC and type telnet 192.168.26.2 without pressing [Enter]. d. Open a second command prompt window, type ping 192.168.26.2 -t, and press [Enter].e. Remove power from the radio for approximately six to eight seconds by disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the Output connector of the PoE Injector and then reconnecting.f. Observe that pings return from 192.168.26.2 (approximately 2 minutes 40 seconds).g. Press [Enter] in the Telnet window on the PC. h. Observe the Login prompt, and if you do not see the Login prompt, repeat the command telnet 192.168.26.2 and press [Enter] until you see the prompt.
5-2RF-7800WTROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCERNOTEThe Telnet session must connect to the RF-7800W HCLOS Radio within approximately 20 seconds from when the radio starts responding to pings. Logging into the default IP Address will cause the unit to be reset to the factory default configuration.i. Enter the following to log in:1. User Name - type admin and press [Enter].2. Password - type admin and press [Enter]. The password characters do not echo to the computer screen.j. Enter the command save defaultconfig and press [Enter] to ensure that all parameters are set to default values.k. Enter the following commands to set a new IP address. A 192.168.26.2# prompt is shown at each step.1. set ipaddr <IP Address> followed by [Enter]. Note the spaces in this example: set ipaddr 192.168.100.12. save config followed by [Enter]. A message such as, “Connection to host lost.” will display.l. Log in to the new IP address and use the user command to enter new user name and password information, if required.Figure 5-1.

A Console Port cable (Harris PN 12069-3901-Axxx) can be used to locally log into the radio to determine the IP address if the IP address has been changed. If this is not an option, the radio can be power cycled in such a way that will reset the radio's IP address to the default. Refer to Paragraph 5.2.1 for the factory reset procedure.Problem: The radio IP address is the same as another device on the local network.•Symptom: The radio's management interfaces (HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, SSH, SNMP) are not accessible to a computer on the same network.•Solution: Change the radio IP address to be unique.Problem: The radio IP address is the same as another device on the other end of the radio link.•Symptom: The radio's management interfaces are not accessible to a computer on the same network segment, but only when the local radio has an active RF link to the remote radio.•Solution: Change the radio IP address to be unique.Problem: The radio has Management VLAN tagging enabled and set to a VLAN ID that is not the same as other computers on the network.•Symptom: The radio's management interfaces are not available.•Solution: The network administrator needs to enable the VLAN ID on switch ports for computers that need to access the radio's management interfaces.Problem: The radio and computer are configured for different subnets.•Symptom: The radio's management interfaces are not accessible to a computer on the same network segment.•Solution: Change the IP addresses and subnet masks so both devices are on the same subnet. If this is not an option, the network is not configured properly.
5-4RF-7800WTROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCERProblem: HTTP, Telnet, and SNMPv2 are not accessible when FIPS Mode is enabled.•Symptom: Some of the radio's management interfaces are accessible, but others are not.•Solution: This is a requirement for FIPS mode. Use the HTTPS, SSH, and SNMPv3 interfaces.Problem: An untrusted SSL Certificate has been loaded into the radio.•Symptom: A warning is displayed when attempting to access the radio's HTTPS management interface.•Solution: Obtain or generate a valid SSL Certificate that is trusted by the computer's browser.5.4 WIRELESS TROUBLESHOOTINGa.
