SAFETY SUMMARY
SAFETY SUMMARY
1.
INTRODUCTION
All 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:
2.

•
CAUTION Used when there is a possibility of damage to equipment
•
NOTE
Used to alert personnel to a condition that requires emphasis
PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT SAFETY
Basic 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:
3.
ELECTRICAL
Hazardous voltage and current levels may exist throughout the equipment. Contact
with 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/or
serious equipment damage. Internal surfaces of the equipment may be in excess of
65°C, the point at which personnel could be burned. Extreme caution should be used
when working with any hot assemblies (for example, power supply or power
amplifier assemblies). Physical injury or damage may result to personnel and/or
equipment as a result of a reflex action to a burn.
EMR
Overexposure to electromagnetic radiation from amplified radio frequencies
may produce a health hazard.
OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY GUIDELINES
Good 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.
ix
RF-7800W
SAFETY SUMMARY
e.
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-conductive 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 ALONE
Never 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.
GROUNDING
Always ensure that all equipment and assemblies are properly grounded when operating or servicing.
TURN OFF POWER AND GROUND CAPACITORS
Whenever 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 CIRCUITS
Operators 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 INTERLOCKS
Do 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.
R
RF-7800W
SAFETY SUMMARY
USE CARE HANDLING HEAVY EQUIPMENT
Never attempt to lift large assemblies or equipment without knowing their weight. Use enough personnel or
a mechanical lifting device to properly handle the item without causing personal injury.
HEED WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Specific warnings and cautions are provided to ensure the safety and protection of personnel and equipment.
Be familiar with and strictly follow all warnings and cautions on the equipment and in technical manuals.
PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR
All personnel must wear protective eyewear when servicing or maintaining equipment. Protective eyewear
must be worn at all times when using tools.
4.
PROTECTION OF STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES
The above symbol denotes a static-sensitive device. Diode input-protection is provided on all CMOS devices. This
protection is designed to guard against adverse electrical conditions such as electrostatic discharge. Although most
static-sensitive devices contain protective circuitry, several precautionary steps should be taken to avoid the
application of potentially damaging voltages to the inputs of the device.
To protect static-sensitive devices from damage, the following precautions should be observed.
a.
Keep all static-sensitive devices in their protective packaging until needed. This packaging is
conductive and should provide adequate protection for the device. Storing or transporting these devices
in conventional plastic containers could be destructive to the device.
b.
Disconnect power prior to insertion or extraction of these devices. This also applies to PWBs containing
such devices.
c.
Double check test equipment voltages and polarities prior to conducting any tests.
d.
Avoid contact with the leads of the device. The component should always be handled carefully by the
ends or side opposite the leads.
e.
Avoid contact between PWB circuits or component leads and synthetic clothing.
f.
Use only soldering irons and tools that are properly grounded. Ungrounded soldering tips or tools can
destroy these devices. SOLDERING GUNS MUST NEVER BE USED.

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, MultipleOutput (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 RF7800W-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. Figure 1-1 shows a
typical installation of the radio with the RF-7800W-AT201 One Foot MIMO Panel Antenna.

CHAPTER 2
SYSTEM INSTALLATION
2.1
INTRODUCTION
Consider the following before installing a RF-7800W High Capacity Line of Sight (HCLOS) Radio system:
•
•
•
•
2.1.1
Environmental and Line of Sight concerns
Link Availability
System Configuration
Co-location
Environmental and Line of Sight Concerns
The 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 Availability
Harris 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 Configuration
There 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).
NOTE
Previous 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.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION
2.1.4
Co-location
Radio 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 REQUIREMENTS
Refer to Table 2-1. In preparation for installing a RF-7800W HCLOS Radio system, the following items that are not
included are required.
Table 2-1. Tools and Materials
Item
Description
7/16” Open or Close Ended Wrench
7/16” Socket Wrench
#2 Drive Phillips-tip Screwdriver
Cable Ties, Zip Ties, or Tie-Wraps
Silicone Grease (Dow Corning DC-5 or similar
corrosion preventative compound)
Electrical Tape (3M Scotch Super 33+ or similar)
Polyurethane Sealant (Vulkem 116, Sikaflex 201, or
similar)
Ground Wire - 10 AWG min, with a 10/32” (M5) ring
terminal
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-7800WAT2XX)
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 CONFIGURATION
Time 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 Radio
a.
2-2
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.

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.
NOTE
STID Password defaults to “default”.
2.3.3
Configure the Sector Controller
a.
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.

Templates. 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.
INSTALLATION
2.4.1
Hardware Installation
a.
Mounting the Radio
A 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 Antenna
Most 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.

Connecting Cables
a.
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.
WARNING
Inadequate grounding presents a personnel hazard that could
damage the equipment or result in serious injury or death.
b.
RF Cables
The 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 Cable
Connect 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 Resistance
Wrap 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.

Alignment
a.
Determining RSSI
Using 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 Link
Loosen 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.
2-8
Tips for Fine Tuning the Link
•
•
•
Use a pair of installers that are able to communicate with each other.
•
•
•
Do not make simultaneous adjustments to the azimuth and elevation.
•
When alignment is complete, lock down all brackets using a wrench.
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.
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.

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
3.1
INTRODUCTION
The 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).
GUI CLI SNMP

GENERAL RADIO CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
The 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.

* 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.

3.3.2
Navigating the CLI
The 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 autocomplete 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 SNMP
The 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).

SNMP Versions
GUI CLI
SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 are the supported network management versions. Only one version can be active at a time.
3.6.4.2
Communities
GUI CLI
Community 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
Traps
GUI CLI SNMP
SNMP 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 highpriority e-mails or SMS text messages to a network administrator that can be used to quickly diagnose a problem
with the network.

The 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 Address
This is the IP address of a valid SNTP server that the radio can use to determine the current time.
3.7.1.2
Polling Interval
This 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

WIRELESS INTERFACE
The 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 Mode
GUI CLI SNMP
The 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 Mode
GUI CLI SNMP
The 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 Power
The transmit power settings are described below.
3.8.3.1
Maximum
GUI CLI SNMP
The 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.

ATPC
GUI CLI SNMP
ATPC 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 PA
An 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
Statistics
CLI SNMP
The 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
Frequency
The frequency settings are described below.
3.8.4.1
Configuration
GUI CLI SNMP
The 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-Scan
GUI CLI SNMP
Radios 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
3-17
RF-7800W
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
without prior knowledge of the SC operating frequency. 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
Roaming
GUI CLI SNMP
Subscriber 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.
NOTE
Roaming reduces the maximum possible user data throughput
by around 10 percent.
NOTE
The Link ID may change when Roaming between SCs.
NOTE
LLC packets are used for Layer 2 updates.
3.8.4.4
Frequency Lists
GUI CLI
The 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.
3-18
R
RF-7800W
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
Figure 3-11. Frequency Management
3.8.5
Channel Width
GUI CLI SNMP
The 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 Distance
GUI CLI SNMP
The 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 Alignment
GUI CLI SNMP
The 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.

RF-7800W
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
NOTE
This aid is not available on a SPMP SC if more than one link
is present.
3.8.8
Security
GUI CLI
Security settings are described below. All parameters for Security can only be accessed using GUI and CLI
interfaces.
3.8.8.1
Encryption Type
The 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 Secret
AES 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 Hash
A 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 Authentication
An 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 Address
The 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 Mitigation
GUI CLI SNMP
Interference 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.
3-20
RF-7800W
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
NOTE
DFS is currently supported for the 5.725 - 5.875 GHz band per
ETSI EN 302 502.
3.8.9.1
DFS Action
DFS 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 Gain
DFS 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 Detection
Since 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 Change
When 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.
NOTE
EIM Auto Channel Change reduces the maximum possible
user data throughput by around 10 percent.
3.8.9.5
EIM Relative Noise Floor
While 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.

RF-7800W
SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
3.8.10
Multi-Hop
GUI CLI SNMP
Sector 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.

Multi-Hop Failover
A 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.
NOTE
Only one subscriber in a Multi-Hop sector should be
configured to support Multi-Hop Failover.
3.8.11
Registration Period
GUI CLI SNMP
The 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 Cycle
GUI CLI SNMP
The 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.

3.9.1
Management
GUI CLI SNMP
Links 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 Information
Basic link settings are described below.
3.9.2.1
Link Type
GUI CLI SNMP
SPMP 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
Enable
GUI CLI SNMP
Normal 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 Name
GUI CLI SNMP
Each 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.
NOTE
In the event that there is a naming conflict between Derived
Links, the SS MAC Address will be used instead of the SS
System Name.

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
3.9.2.4
Subscriber MAC
GUI CLI SNMP
The unique MAC address of the SS radio is required when defining a new Normal Link.
3.9.2.5
STID
The STID is used as a name to differentiate between Link Templates.
3.9.2.6
STID Password
The 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 Address
GUI CLI SNMP
Once 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 Rates
Modulation and Coding rate settings are described below.
3.9.3.1
Adaptive Modulation
GUI CLI SNMP
In order to handle dynamic link conditions, Adaptive Modulation should be employed. The radio monitors the biterror 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.

Burst Rate
GUI CLI SNMP
When 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.

Information Rate
GUI CLI SNMP
The 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.

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION AND CONFIGURATION
Data Smoothing
GUI CLI
This 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 Prioritization
GUI CLI SNMP
In 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 Multicast
GUI CLI SNMP
Non-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 Communication
GUI CLI SNMP
Non-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.

3.9.8.1
Link Metrics
GUI CLI SNMP
This indicates whether RF associated with a link partner radio has been detected. As the link comes up or goes down,
an SNMP trap is sent out to indicate the event. When an SS radio has successfully completed authentication and
registration with the SC, there will be a positive indication for a Data Link. When an SS radio successfully registers
or is turned away from the SC, an SNMP trap is sent out to indicate the event.
The number of times a link has been lost since boot time is recorded for troubleshooting purposes, along with the
link uptime. See Figure 3-21.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance features are described in the following subsections.
3.10.1
Script
GUI CLI
The radio's configuration can be exported to a text file that can be edited and loaded into other radios. This is useful
for backup and as a way to quickly configure many settings at once.
NOTE
Configuration scripts generated by software versions prior to
version 4 may not result in the intended configuration when
loaded onto a radio running software version 4 or later.
3.10.2
Security Files
GUI CLI
Files related to HTTPS, SSH and over-the-air X.509 authentication can be delivered to the radio via various IP-based
file transfer mechanisms. Refer to RF-7800W-OU47x/-OU50x Security Operation Supplement (10515-0426-4000)
for more information. The radio also contains a direct-load feature that utilizes XMODEM file transfer via the
Console port.
3.10.3
GUI Localization
GUI CLI
The GUI may be modified to provide an alternate display language, number format, and/or layout. Perform the
following to update the GUI:
a.
Download the default English Language File or the modified Active Language File for use as a template
by selecting the corresponding Download button in the File List section of the File Management screen.
See Figure 3-24.
b.
Edit the Language File using a text editor that supports UTF-8 and dynamic end-of-line detection (such
as Notepad++).
c.
Replace the file by uploading the edited file using the File Upload section of the File Management
screen.
NOTE
Some text content is controlled by the web browser. Ensure
that the browser and host Operating System are configured for
the appropriate language. Although multiple languages can be
used simultaneously, unexpected behavior may result.

Firmware Upgrade
GUI CLI
See Figure 3-24. The radio can be upgraded with new software that is posted to the Harris Premier site
(https://tcpremier.harris.com). The upgrade files can be delivered to the radio via FTP, TFTP, SFTP, or directly via
the GUI. The radio contains enough memory to store two versions of software. 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.
NOTE
For 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
An Administrator can temporarily test the configuration before saving it permanently. This is done by entering
“Test” mode and applying (but not saving) settings. This can be useful if the desired configuration change could
result in dropping communication to a radio that is being configured. For example, changing the maximum transmit
power of a radio from over its active link could result in the link dropping. By testing the configuration, a
misconfigured radio link would return at the end of the test period.

DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS
CHAPTER 4
DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS
4.1
INTRODUCTION
The RF-7800W radio can be deployed in various At-the-Halt and On-the-Move scenarios, which may require
different configurations.
4.2
AT-THE-HALT
For fixed and nomadic infrastructure deployments, the appropriate System Mode should be selected, depending on
the number of required Subscriber Stations (SS).
4.2.1
SPMP
Simple Point to Multipoint (SPMP) supports an arbitrary number of SS—up to 124 per Sector Controller (SC)—but
is optimized for deployments of less than 10 SS. 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.

SPTP
Simple 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-MOVE
While 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-Hop
Multi-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
Roaming
Roaming 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.
4-2
R
RF-7800W
DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS
See Figure 4-4, the panels of the figure are described below:
Panel 1 - The SS is linked to SC 1, while also seeing signal from SC 2.
Panel 2 - The SS maintains a link to SC 1, while the signal from SC 2 improves and the signal from SC N
becomes present.
Panel 3 - The SS registers to SC 2 since it has the best signal, while the signal from SC N improves and the
signal from SC 1 degrades.
Panel 4 - The SS registers to SC N since it has the best signal, while the signals from SC 1 and SC 2 degrade.
Panel 5 - The SS maintains a link to SC N, while the signal from SC 2 degrades and the signal from SC 1
is no longer present.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
CHAPTER 5
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
5.1
INTRODUCTION
This 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 PROCEDURES
Troubleshooting starts with the factory reset procedure described below.
NOTE
Factory 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 Procedure
See 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.

RF-7800W
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE
The 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.
l.
1.
set ipaddr  followed by [Enter].
Note the spaces in this example: set ipaddr 192.168.100.1
2.
save config followed by [Enter]. A message such as, “Connection to host lost.” will display.
Log in to the new IP address and use the user command to enter new user name and password
information, if required.

Factory Default Reset Behavior
When a factory default reset is detected, some parameters are reset to their default value:
•
•
•
Users (default user names and passwords).
All cryptographic material (keys, certificates, encryption settings).
All System Description information.
The unit will automatically load the previous configuration if no one connects to the unit using telnet within 20
seconds after the radio is available at the default IP address.
5.3
NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: The radio IP address is unknown.
•
•
Symptom: The radio is not able to be managed remotely.
Solution: The default radio IP address is 192.168.26.2. 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.
5-3
RF-7800W
TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Problem: 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.
•
•
5.4
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.
