An example of the Bridging Table tab is displayed in Figure 154.
Figure 154: Bridging Table tab of AP, example
If NAT (network address translation) is not active on the SM, then the Bridging Table tab
provides the MAC address of all devices that are attached to registered SMs (identified
by LUIDs). The bridging table allows data to be sent to the correct module as follows:
418
◦
For the AP, the uplink is from RF to Ethernet. Thus, when a packet arrives in the
RF interface to the AP, the AP reads the MAC address from the inbound packet
and creates a bridging table entry of the source MAC address on the other end of
the RF interface.
◦
For the SM, BHM, and BHS, the uplink is from Ethernet to RF. Thus, when a
packet arrives in the Ethernet interface to one of these modules, the module
reads the MAC address from the inbound packet and creates a bridging table
entry of the source MAC address on the other end of the Ethernet interface.

26.9 TRANSLATION TABLE (SM)
When Translation Bridging is enabled in the AP, each SM keeps a table mapping MAC
addresses of devices attached to the AP to IP addresses, as otherwise the mapping of
end-user MAC addresses to IP addresses is lost. (When Translation Bridging is enabled,
an AP modifies all uplink traffic originating from registered SM’s such that the source
MAC address of every packet will be changed to that of the SM which bridged the packet
in the uplink direction.)

IMPORTANT!
If any of these values is not achieved, a link can be established but will manifest
occasional problems.
In the Alignment tab, you may set the following parameters.
RSSI Only Mode
In the RSSI Only Mode, the screen displays the signal strength based on the amount of
energy in the selected frequency, regardless of whether the module has registered. This
mode simplifies the aiming process for long links. To invoke the RSSI Only Mode, select
Enabled.
Radio Carrier Frequency
If you enabled the RSSI Only Mode, select the frequency (in MHz) for the aiming
operation.
The Alignment tab also provides the following buttons.
Enable
A click of this button launches the slave device into alignment mode. Each further click
refreshes the data in the tab to display the latest measurements collected.
Disable
A click of this button changes the slave device from alignment mode back to operating
mode.
The Alignment tab also provides the following read-only fields.
Current Status
This field indicates either SM is in Alignment Mode or SM is in Operating
Mode. This syntax is used in an SM and in a BHS.
RSSI
This field displays the Radio Signal Strength Indicator units and, in parentheses, the
current power level, of the signal received from the AP or BHM.
Jitter

Average measured RSSI
This field displays the Radio Signal Strength Indicator units and, in parentheses, the
power level as an average of the measurements that were collected throughout the
aiming period. Try for the highest power level that you can achieve at the least amount of
jitter. For example, if you achieve a power level of −75 dBm with a jitter level of 5, and
further refine the alignment to achieve a power level of −78 dBm with a jitter level of 2
or 3, the link is better because of the further refinement.
Average measured Jitter
This field displays Jitter as an average of the measurements that were collected
throughout the aiming period. In 1X operation, jitter values of 0 to 4 are acceptable. In 2X
operation, jitter values 0 to 9 are acceptable. In either mode, 0 to 15 is the range of
possible values that the Jitter field reports. Within the acceptable range, incremental
improvements in the jitter level achieved can significantly improve link quality where
power level is not significantly diminished by re-aiming.
Users
This is a count of the number of SMs registered to the AP you are aligning to.
Frequency
This field displays the frequency in MHz of the signal that was being received during the
aiming period.

This field displays the MAC address of the AP or BHM you are aligning to.
Color Code
This field displays the color code of the AP or BHM you are aligning to.

=========================== end of procedure ===========================
The key fields in the test results are
◦
Downlink RATE and Uplink RATE, expressed in bits per second
◦
Downlink Efficiency and Uplink Efficiency, expressed as a percentage
A Canopy system link is acceptable only if the efficiencies of the link test are greater than
90% in both the uplink and downlink direction, except during 2X operation. See Using
Link Efficiency to Check Received Signal Quality on Page 134. Whenever you install a
new link, execute a link test to ensure that the efficiencies are within recommended
guidelines.
The AP downlink data percentage, slot settings, other traffic in the sector, and the quality
of the RF environment all affect throughput. However, a Maximum Information Rate
(MIR) throttle or cap on the SM does not affect throughput.
27.4 USING THE AP EVALUATION OR BHM EVALUATION TOOL
(SM, BHS)
The AP Evaluation tab in the Tools web page of the SM provides information about the
AP that the SM sees. Similarly, the BHM Evaluation tab of the BHS provides information

Jitter, RSSI, and Power Level
The AP Evaluation tab shows the received Power Level in dBm and Jitter. Proper
alignment maximizes Power Level and minimizes Jitter. As you refine alignment, you
should favor lower jitter over higher dBm. For example, if coarse alignment gives an SM
a power level of −75 dBm and a jitter measurement of 5, and further refining
the alignment drops the power level to −78 dBm and the jitter to 2 or 3, use the refined
alignment, with the following caveats:
◦
When the receiving link is operating at 1X, the Jitter scale is 0 to 15 with desired
jitter between 0 and 4.
◦
When the receiving link is operating at 2X, the Jitter scale is 0 to 15 with desired
jitter between 0 and 9.
For historical relevance, the AP Evaluation tab also shows the RSSI, the unitless
measure of power. Use Power Level and ignore RSSI. RSSI implies more accuracy and
precision than is inherent in its measurement.

27.5 USING THE FRAME CALCULATOR TOOL (ALL)
Canopy avoids self-interference by syncing collocated APs (so they begin each
transmission cycle at the same time) and requiring that collocated APs have the same
transmit/receive ratio (so they stop transmitting and start receiving at the same time).
This ensures that, at any instant, they are either all receiving or all transmitting.
This avoids, for example, the problem of one AP attempting to receive from a distant SM,
while a nearby AP is transmitting and overpowering the signal from the distant SM.
Parameters that affect transmit/receive ratio include range, slots, downlink data
percentage, and high priority uplink percentage. All collocated APs must have the same
transmit/receive ratio. Additional engineering is needed for setting the parameters in a
mixed cluster – one with APs on hardware scheduler and APs on software scheduler.
A frame calculator helps to do this. The operator inputs various AP settings into the
calculator, and the calculator outputs many details on the frame including the Uplink Rcv
SQ Start. This calculation should be done for each AP that has different settings. Then
the operator varies the Downlink Data percentage in each calculation until the calculated
Uplink Rcv SQ Start for all collocated APs is within 300 time bits. The frame calculator is
accessed by clicking on Expanded Stats in the navigation column, then clicking on Frame
Calculator (at the bottom of the expanded navigation column).
The calculator does not use data on the module or populate new data. It is merely a
convenience application running on the module. For this reason, you can use any module
to do the calculations for any AP. Running the calculator on the AP in question is not
necessary.
IMPORTANT!
APs with slightly mismatched transmit/receive ratios and low levels of data traffic
may see little effect on throughput. As the data traffic increases, the impact of
mismatched transmit/receive ratios will increase. This means that a system that
was not tuned for collocation may work fine at low traffic levels, but encounter
problems at higher traffic level. The conservative practice is to tune for
collocation from the beginning, and prevent future problems as sectors are built
out and traffic increases.

27.7 USING THE BER RESULTS TOOL (SM, BHS)
Radio BER is now supported on hardware scheduling. When looking at Radio BER data
it is important to note that it represents bit errors at the RF link level. Due to CRC checks
on fragments and packets and ARQ (Automatic Repeat request), the BER of customer
data is essentially zero. Radio BER gives one indication of link quality, along with
received power level, jitter, and link tests.
BER is only instrumented on the downlink, and can be read on each SM’s Tools>BER
Results page. Each time the tab is clicked, the current results are read, and counters are
reset to zero. An example of the BER Results tab is displayed in Figure 170.
Figure 170: BER Results tab of SM, example
The BER Results tab can be helpful in troubleshooting poor link performance. The value
in the Measured Total Bit Error Rate field represents the bit error rate (BER) in the RF
link since the last time the BER Results tab was clicked.
−4
The link is acceptable if the value of this field is less than 10 . If the BER is greater than
−4
10 , re-evaluate the installation of both modules in the link.
The BER test signal is only broadcast by the AP (and compared to the expected test
signal by the SM) when capacity in the sector allows it – it is the lowest priority for AP
transmissions.

The interface screens on each module display the Canopy or Canopy Advantage logo.
These logos can be replaced with other logos using Procedure 42.
The logo is a hyperlink and clicking on it takes the user to the Canopy web site.
A different site (perhaps the operator’s support site) can be made the destination using
Procedure 43.
To return a module to regular logos and hyperlinks, use Procedure 44.
The logo at the top of each page is a key indicator to the user whether a module is
Canopy or Canopy Advantage. If you choose to replace the Canopy logos, use two
noticeably different logos so that users can continue to easily distinguish between a
Canopy module and a Canopy Advantage module.
To replace logos and hyperlinks efficiently throughout your network, read the following
procedures, write a script, and execute your script through the Canopy Network Updater
Tool (CNUT). To replace them individually, use one of the following two procedures.
Procedure 42: Replacing the Canopy logo on the GUI with another logo
1. If the current logo is the Canopy logo, name your custom logo file on your
computer canopy.jpg and put it in your home directory.
If the current logo is the Canopy Advantage logo, name your custom logo file on
your computer advantaged.jpg and put it in your home directory.
2. Use an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) session to transfer this file to the module, as
in the example session shown in Figure 171.

Selection of protocol analyzer software and location for a protocol analyzer depend on
both the network topology and the type of traffic to capture. However, the examples in
this section are based on free-of-charge Ethereal software, which is available at
http://ethereal.com/.
The equipment required to set up a protocol analyzer includes:
◦
1 hub
◦
1 laptop computer with protocol analyzer software installed
◦
2 straight-through Ethernet cables
◦
1 Canopy power converter (ACPS110)
31.1 ANALYZING TRAFFIC AT AN SM
The IP address of the protocol analyzer laptop computer must match the IP addressing
scheme of the SM. If the SM has DHCP enabled, then configure the laptop computer to
automatically obtain an address. If DHCP is not enabled, then ensure that the laptop
computer is configured with a static IP address in the same subnet as the SM.
The configuration for analyzing traffic at an SM is shown in Figure 174.

31.4 EXAMPLE OF A PROTOCOL ANALYZER SETUP FOR AN SM
®
The following is an example of a network protocol analyzer setup using Ethereal
software to capture traffic at the SM level. The Ethereal network protocol analyzer has
changed its name to Wireshark™, but functionality and use remains much the same. This
example is based on the following assumptions:
◦
All required physical cabling has been completed.
◦
The hub, protocol analyzer laptop computer, and subscriber PC are successfully
connected.
◦
The SM is connected
◦
−
as shown in Figure 175 on Page 456.
−
to the subscriber PC and the AP.
Ethereal software is operational on the laptop computer.
Although these procedures involve the SM, the only difference in the procedure for
analyzing traffic on an AP or BH is the hub insertion point.
The IP Configuration screen of the example SM is shown in Figure 177.
