A List of all the profiles with a red box beside each profile. If the User navigates to the red icon then this will present the User with the ability to delete the profile (refer to Figure 109).
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 114 Figure 109: Service Profile ARQ Profile Edit Capability 3.5.5.4 Quality of Service, QoS Profile A QoS Profile contains all information in regards to QoS type, latency, throughput and etc. These Profiles are independent of direction and can be applied to multiple service flows. The types of QoS that are offered are: Best Effort or BE. Alternatively this is described as MIR or Maximum Information Rate. Unsolicited Grant Service or UGS. An alternative for this is CIR or Committed Information Rate. Extended Real-Time Polling Service or eRTPS. This is also known as Dynamic CIR. Best Effort is by far the most commonly used QoS type that is configured in the majority of deployments. It is bursty in nature and provides for up to a maximum rate. As an example, it could provide for internet speeds of up to 3 Mbps. The disadvantage of a Best Effort Service is that it does not provide any guarantee that the configured throughput will be achieved. A Base Station will offer throughput to BE configured Subscribers as long as there is bandwidth available and there are no other CIR configured Subscriber demanding throughput Unsolicited Grant Service connections provide for a dedicated and guaranteed Service Level Agreement. It is typically used for applications that require constant bit rate services such as VoIP. Any traffic assigned to a UGS service flow will be allocated for the sole use by that Subscriber. The allocated traffic for this UGS will be removed from the available ‘pool’ of throughput for the Base Station to which the Subscriber has been configured. UGS connections typically provide low latency which is ideal for VoIP applications. Extended Real-Time Polling Service is a QoS type that is very similar to UGS. Traffic is allocated for the sole use by a Subscriber CPE but only when the Subscriber CPE requests traffic. However, when traffic is
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 115 not being requested by the Subscriber, the allocated eRTPS bandwidth can be used by any other Subscriber. The eRTPS is the preferred QoS type for VoIP applications due to the dynamic resource control. There are 16 QoS profiles that have been pre-configured and stored in the Base Station. These can be viewed at the summary level (refer to Figure 110). At Main Web GUI Interface Screen select the Configuration Tab and then select the service-profile Main Menu Sub-Element. For full examination and configuration of the QoS profiles then the User needs to navigate into the Main Menu Sub-Element level. Figure 110: Default Quality of Service Profiles At Main Web GUI Interface Screen select the Configuration Tab, then the service-profile Main Menu Option and then the qos-profile Main Menu Sub-Element. This User is presented with all the 16 pre-configured default profiles (refer to Figure 111).

PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 121 3.6 Base Station Software Upgrade One of the Base Stations’ key features is that it has been designed to support a “Software Defined Radio” (SDR) architecture. The distinct advantage is that a Base Station can be remotely upgraded with additional features and capabilities as these are developed. The Base Station maintains two software versions/images that may be selectively enabled, thus providing a fail-safe software upgrade procedure. The software upgrade process may be performed from the CLI, the Web Interface, as well as from the PureView EMS. In this section, the software upgrade procedures using the Web Interface is detailed. The first step in the process is to copy the software to a directory on the PC which is running the FTP server. Please ensure the PureWave directory structure is kept intact. Copy the software image, as provided by PureWave, to the assigned home directory of the FTP server (Figure 116). Figure 116: Software Components The next step is to confirm and setup the FTP Server. There are a number of free commercially available FTP Servers that can be used (refer to Figure 117, which is a 3CDaemon). Ensure that the FTP Server is running.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 122 Figure 117: FTP Server Configuration At the Main Web GUI Interface Screen select the Configuration Tab and then the software Main Menu Option. This will display the software Settings and the display is split into two main grouping sections. There are three further sub-element associated with this option. There are no User configurable options for the software Main Menu Option. The Base Station flash contains two partitions which are both loaded with software. There is a partition “A” and a partition “B”. The GUI will provide an indication as to current status of the software. The two main grouping sections for this Menu Main Sub-Element are (refer to Figure 118): Software Image Management. This displays the details for each software image. The options are: o Current Boot. This indicates which partition provided the current active software load. o Next Boot. This indicates after the next reboot of the Base Station, which partition the software will be loaded from. o Boot Partition A. This indicates the software revision that is currently loaded into partition A. o Boot Partition B. This indicates the software revision that is currently loaded into partition B. o Sw Version Candidate. This is not relevant for the current method of software upgrade. It will simply indicate "No Software candidate available". Software Image Status. This provides an indication of the download status. The options are: o State Detail. This will provide an indication of the current state of software upgrade detail. o Download Progress. This is a percentage indicator of the state of download progress.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 123 Figure 118: Software Image Management Dialog 3.6.1 Single-Step Software Upgrade The Base Station software upgrade process can be performed using a single operation. This performs the following procedure while providing continual upgrade status to the User. (1) Downloads the software image file from a user defined location using FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS. (2) Unpacks the downloaded software image, verifies the image integrity (CRC and MD5 checksum), and prepares for installation. (3) Performs a complex set of operations to upgrade the various components of the Base Station. (4) Selects the new software image installed in the secondary partition as the partition to be used after the next Base Station reboot. (5) Reboots the Base Station. To execute the Single-Step Software Upgrade Procedure, at the Main Web GUI Interface Screen the Configuration Tab, then the software Main Menu Option and then the upgrade Main Menu Sub-Element. The User will be presented with two main grouping sections (refer to Figure 119). In the Download, Install, Select Software Image and Reboot section, enter the URL of the new software image in the SW Image URL box. There are a variety of formats of the URL of remote source file is. These can be displayed if the User selects the "help" key. These URL formats are defined as: ftp://[user[:password]@]hostname[:port]/filepath http://hostname[:port]/filepath https://hostname[:port]/filepath Where [ ] indicates optional items. Thus,
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 124 user:password@ is optional, and the :password part can be omitted [:port] is also optional Examples using ftp (you can substitute http or https): ftp://myhost.com/filename ftp://myhost.com/directory/filename ftp://myhost.com:2323/directory/filename ftp://myname@myhost.com:2323/directoryname/filename ftp://myname:password@myhost.com:2323/directoryname/filename URL of remote source file; format is as follows: protocol://[user[:password]]@host[:port]/path protocol can be ftp, http, or https Figure 119: Single-Step Software Upgrade Dialog Once the URL has been entered, the User must select the Perform Command Menu Option in the Download Software Images, install, select and reboot on Base Station section to initiate the upgrade process. This action will upgrade the Base Station in one simple step. It will: (1) Transfer the software to the relevant partition on the Base Station. The software will always be loaded into the non Current Boot partition. For example, if the Current Boot is A, then the software will be loaded into B. (2) Write the software into the relevant partition flash. This step will automatically change the next boot option to the other partition from which it currently is. This is of course the partition to which the software has just been downloaded.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 125 (3) Automatically reboot the Base Station. The reboot will then automatically be loaded from the next boot partition which was changed in step (2) above. This means that the Base Station will now be operational on the software that was just downloaded. 3.6.2 Multi-Step Software Upgrade The Base Station software upgrade process can also be performed in multiple steps as an alternative to the single step process. This will present the User with better control over the various stages of the software upgrade process. 3.6.2.1 Software Download and Installation In this procedure the following steps are performed: (1) Downloads the software image file from a user defined location using FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS. (2) Unpacks the downloaded software image, verifies the image integrity (CRC and MD5 checksum), and prepares for installation. (3) Performs a complex set of operations to upgrade the various components of the Base Station. The first step is the software download and installation procedure. At the Main Web GUI Interface Screen select the Configuration Tab, then the software Main Menu Option and then the install Main Menu Sub-Element. The User will be presented with two main grouping sections (refer to Figure 120). In the Download and Install Software Images section, then enter the URL of the new software image in the SW Image URL box. There are a variety of formats of the URL of remote source file is. These can be displayed if the User selects the "help" key. These URL formats are defined as: ftp://[user[:password]@]hostname[:port]/filepath http://hostname[:port]/filepath https://hostname[:port]/filepath Where [ ] indicates optional items. Thus, user:password@ is optional, and the :password part can be omitted [:port] is also optional Examples using ftp (you can substitute http or https): ftp://myhost.com/filename ftp://myhost.com/directory/filename ftp://myhost.com:2323/directory/filename ftp://myname@myhost.com:2323/directoryname/filename ftp://myname:password@myhost.com:2323/directoryname/filename URL of remote source file; format is as follows:
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 126 protocol://[user[:password]]@host[:port]/path protocol can be ftp, http, or https Figure 120: Software Download and Installation Dialog Once the URL has been entered, the User must select the Perform Command Menu Option in the Download Software Images, install, select and reboot on Base Station section to initiate the upgrade process. This action will upgrade the Base Station in one simple step. It will: (1) Transfer the software to the relevant partition on the Base Station. The software will always be loaded into the non Current Boot partition. For example, if the Current Boot is A, then the software will be loaded into B. 3.6.2.2 Software Partition Selection and Display The final step in the Multiple Step Software Upgrade process is the software partition selection and display procedure. At the Main Web GUI Interface Screen select the Configuration Tab, then the software Main Menu Option and then the boot Main Menu Sub-Element. The User will be presented with two main grouping sections (refer to Figure 121): Select Next SW Image to Boot from Select Software Image
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 127 Figure 121: Software Partition Selection and Display The purpose of the Select Next SW Image to Boot from is that this command will allow the selected image to run after the next reboot. It will not affect the currently "Running" image. Subsequent reboots will run the "Select" software image. The available choices are: A: The image loaded in software bank A. B: The image loaded in software bank B. Next: The alternative to the currently "Running " image. If the current image is A, the next boot will use B and vice versa. The User needs to scroll down to the Select Software Image grouping and thus select what actions they wish to take (refer to Figure 122). The User does not need to be in Edit Mode within this menu option. Select. The options to select here are: o Next o B o A Now. This is a check box that has to be enabled.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 128 Figure 122: Software Image Partition Selection To execute the procedure then the User needs to select the Perform Command Menu Option in the Select Next SW Image to Boot from grouping section. If the "Now" box is checked (i.e. enabled) the system will reboot shortly after the Perform Command Menu Option has been selected. It may take up to a minute for the Base Station to reboot. If the User attempts to navigate in the Web Interface window, the browser may report an "Unexpected Operation Error". The Web Interface may require re-loading once the Base Station has restarted.

PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 149 This will force a reboot of the Base Station and the log file to effectively rotate and begin logging again. The rotate feature forces the logging to the relevant file to stop, it then compresses the file, effectively renames it (generally by appending a .1 to the end of the filename) and then starts the logging to a new file. E.g. the current sys log file is messages but at the last rotate action this file was rotated into messages.1.gz and the then logging started again to messages. An automatic rotation will occur when the file size reaches 5MBytes. There are no parameters to edit and the User simply has to select the Perform Command Menu Option to initiate the log file rotation (refer to Figure 145).

The agent will wait this amount of time for a response to an InformRequest PDU or TCP connection before attempting again. Example: 1500 is 1.5 seconds snmpTargetAddrRetryCount Sets the number of times that the agent will resend an InformRequest PDU or attempt to establish a TCP connection before abandoning further attempts and logging an error in the agent log file. Example: 3 snmpTargetAddrTagList A list that provides the correlation between snmpTargetAddrTable and snmpNotifyTable. When generating a notification, the agent searches this list for the value contained in snmpNotifyTag. If the list contains this value, then the agent uses the information in this row to create a destination for the notification. For example: “std_trap” snmpTargetAddrParams Indexes the row in snmpTargetParamsTable that describes the security parameters to be used when sending the notification. If the row specified does not exist, the notification will not be sent. For example: “target_v2” snmpTargetAddrStorageType Specifies how the row should be stored. The default value is nonVolatile. snmpTargetAddrEngineID Internal use only, leave blank “” snmpTargetAddrTMask Internal use only, leave blank “” snmpTargetAddrStorageType Internal use only ( Maximum message size) default 2048 2048 enabled This field allows trap sending to a given NMS to be paused true/false Table 13 SNMP Target Address Table

PureWave's sole obligation under this limited warranty shall be, at PureWave's option, to repair the defective product or part, deliver to Customer an equivalent product or part to replace the defective item, or if neither of the two foregoing options is reasonably possible, refund to Customer the purchase price paid for the defective product. All products that are replaced will become the property of PureWave. Replacement products may be new or reconditioned. PureWave's obligations hereunder are conditioned upon the returned of affected articles in accordance with PureWave's Return Material Authorization (RMA) procedures. The above warranty will also apply to any replaced or repaired product for 90 days from the date of shipment from PureWave of the replaced or repaired product, or the remainder of the initial warranty period, whichever is longer. Software PureWave warrants to the Customer that for a period of ninety (90) days from your receipt of the Product as demonstrated by written records (the “Warranty Period”) the Software will perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation. If the Software fails to comply with the warranty set forth above, your exclusive remedy will be, at the option of PureWave (i) a reasonable effort by PureWave to make the Software perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation, or (ii) return of the purchase price. This limited warranty applies only if you return all copies of the Product, together with proof of purchase, to PureWave during the Warranty Period. This limited warranty is VOID if failure of the Software is due to modification of the Software not made by PureWave, or the abuse or misapplication of the Software. PUREWAVE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE IS ERROR FREE, THAT THE CUSTOMER WILL BE ABLE TO OPERATE THE SOFTWARE WITHOUT PROBLEMS OR INTERRUPTIONS OR THAT THE SOFTWARE OR ANY EQUIPMENT, SYSTEM OR NETWORK ON WHICH THE SOFTWARE IS USED WILL BE FREE OF VULNERABILITY TO INTRUSION OR ATTACK.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 167 Additional Conditions Notwithstanding anything else herein or otherwise, PureWave reserves the right to establish amendments to its RMA Policy from time to time. Further, PureWave Technical Support may prefer to troubleshoot the wireless link with an onsite Customer technician while the Products are in their original non-conforming state. This process might assist Customer in understanding and troubleshooting the issue. If PureWave was not afforded the opportunity to troubleshoot an allegedly non-conforming Product in original non-conforming state, PureWave may approve or reject an RMA request in its sole discretion. No Fault Found Notwithstanding sections above, if PureWave cannot duplicate any alleged non-conformity, the Product will be returned to the Customer as "No Fault Found." PureWave reserves the right to charge a testing fee in connection with a returned product that PureWave determines as “No Fault Found,” and any such payment must be received by PureWave prior to return shipment of the applicable Product to Customer. Warranty Limitations PureWave’s warranties do not apply to any product (hardware or software) which has (a) been subjected to abuse, misuse, neglect, accident, or mishandling, (b) been opened, repaired, modified, or altered by anyone other than PureWave, (c) been used for or subjected to applications, environments, or physical or electrical stress or conditions other than as intended and recommended by PureWave, (d) been improperly stored, transported, installed, or used, or (e) had its serial number or other identification markings altered or removed. Warranty Disclaimer PURWAVE’S SPECIFIC WARRANTIES SUMMARIZED ABOVE ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES GIVEN BY PUREWAVE WITH RESPECT TO ITS PRODUCTS (HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE) AND ARE GIVEN IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR ARISING BY CUSTOM, TRADE USAGE, OR COURSE OF DEALING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND PUREWAVE DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, PureWave makes no warranty or representation, either expressed or implied, as to, and disclaims all liability and responsibility for, (a) the operation, compliance, labeling, or packaging of any of its products under the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States of America and (b) the regulatory compliance of any products in any jurisdiction in which it has not specifically identified compliance or the use of any product in any jurisdiction in any manner other than as contemplated in the regulatory certifications and approvals for that product in that jurisdiction. To the extent an implied warranty cannot be excluded, such warranty is limited in duration to the warranty period. The disclaimer and exclusion applies even if the express warranty fails of its essential purpose.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 168 Obtaining Warranty Service Customer must contact the Company, by sending an e-mail to support@pwnets.com to obtain warranty service authorization. When contacting PureWave for support, please be prepared to provide the product description and serial number and a description of the problem. The Customer will be expected to complete a “Return Material Authorization (RMA)” form to initiate the request. Full instructions as to how to complete and where to send the form are provided on the form. Date of proof of purchase from PureWave will be required. Products returned to PureWave Inc must be pre-authorized by PureWave with a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number and sent prepaid and packaged appropriately for safe shipment. The Customer requesting the RMA will be the exporter. The exporter is responsible to ship RMA equipment to PureWave’s address and has to bear the cost and risk involved in bringing the goods to PureWave’s location. Risk of loss in return shipment will be borne by Customer, and it is recommended that returned goods be insured and/or sent by a method that provides for tracking of the package. Responsibility for loss or damage does not transfer to PureWave until the returned item is received by PureWave. Provided that PureWave determines that the item is actually defective, the repaired or replaced item will be shipped to Customer, at PureWave's expense, (1) not later than thirty (30) days after PureWave receives the defective product or (2) to the terms of a separate written agreement with PureWave. If the allegedly non-conforming Product is not received by PureWave within thirty (30) days of Customer initiating the RMA request, the RMA process for that Product will be deemed cancelled. You may also obtain the status of their RMA request(s) by sending an e-mail to support@pwnets.com referencing their assigned RMA Number(s). No product will be accepted for repair or replacement by PureWave without a RMA number. The product must be returned to PureWave, properly packaged to prevent damage, shipping and handling charges prepaid, with the RMA number prominently displayed on the outside of the container. If PureWave determines that a returned product is not defective or is not covered by the terms of the warranty, the Customer will be charged a service charge and return shipping charges. Table 21 summarizes the conditions and charges that PureWave reserves the right to levy.
