CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW
FullMax is a multi‐cell, Point‐to‐Multipoint (PtMP) broadband wireless system based on the
WiMax‐e (IEEE 802.16e‐2005) protocol with modifications to enable its operation in a wide
range of frequencies below 1 GHz. The system is used to establish a private, broadband
wireless service for electrical utilities and other mission critical industries. It supports both
fixed and mobile applications.
The main characteristics of the FullMax System include the following:
FullMax operates in unpaired spectrum using Time Division Duplexing (TDD). FullMax also
operates in paired spectrum employing each portion of the paired spectrum as independent
unpaired spectrum. FullMax Base Stations employ GPS for TDD framing synchronization.
FullMax is capable of operating in any frequency band between 40 MHz and 958 MHz 1 and
in any channel size between 200 KHz and 5 MHz2.
The FullMax system offers the private system operator wide area coverage by leveraging
the following:
■ High transmit power from both the Base Station and Subscriber Stations
■ Exceptional receiver sensitivity
■ Superior propagation due to the operation in narrower non‐standard WiMax channel
sizes and low band frequencies
The FullMax system offers excellent frequency utilization through the following capabilities:
■ Adaptive Modulation and Coding in both the downlink and uplink
■ Optimization of the downlink and uplink ratio for the user’s main applications. For
example, in the case of SCADA applications, the FullMax frame is configured as reverse
Currently, FullMax has FCC certification to operate in United States NPCS band (FCC Part 24), in the 700
MHz guard band (FCC Part 27) in the AMTS band (FCC Part 80) and in the IVDS band (FCC Part 95). FCC
certification for other bands will be acquired upon demand.
FullMax has been fully tested to operate in 500 KHz wide channel, 700 KHz wide channel and 1 MHz wide
channels. Other channel sizes should be verified with Full Spectrum engineering support before implementation
to guarantee proper network configuration.

FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
asymmetrical, i.e., more bandwidth is allocated to the uplink than to the downlink.
■ Packet header suppression (PHS) and other compression techniques.
FullMax includes a versatile set of QoS tools that can optimize traffic performance for each
application and prioritize the access to the available bandwidth according to the operator’s
requirements. QoS tools include various scheduling methods, service flows with various QoS
parameters such as minimum and maximum traffic rates, guaranteed delay, jitter, etc.
FullMax provides secured connections with strong encryption (AES‐128), strong
authentication (EAP after RSA with X.509 certificates) and advanced key management
protocol (PKMv2).
FullMax supports various frequency reuse methods including full channel based frequency
reuse, sub‐channel based frequency reuse and time segregation based frequency re‐use.
FullMAX comprises of one or more Base Stations, Fixed Remote Stations and Mobile
Stations. The term “Remote Stations” when used, refers to both the fixed Remote Stations
and Mobile Stations.
The FullMax Remote Stations support a pre‐configured channel acquisition plan, i.e., a
preconfigured list of channel alternatives, characterized by their center frequency and the
bandwidth. During startup, the MS4000 or FS4000 goes through the list and perform
successive channel acquisition attempts until an attempt is successful.
FullMax has an advanced remote management system that enables the system operator to
monitor, configure, manage, detect failures and diagnose problems. The FullMax system
configuration and FullMax system provisioning support central management profiles.
FullMax System Architecture
The FullMax system architecture is described in Figure 1 below. It consists of Base Stations,
Fixed Subscriber Stations, Mobile Stations, backhaul networking equipment connecting the
Base Stations to the Network Operations Center (NOC) and a Network Management System
(NMS).
FullMax Base Stations are typically installed in the existing Private Land Mobile Radio
(PLMR) towers serving their respective cells.
The Base Station is designed as a single sector device. Any number of sectors can be
designed per tower and any number of Base Station units can be used in the same sector.
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
The most common configuration however is a 3 sector design with a single Base Station unit
per sector. The sector configuration dictates the type of antenna that should be used. A
router is used at the tower to connect all Base Station units to the Network Operating
Center (NOC) via backhaul facilities. FullMax fixed and mobile Remote Stations are deployed
throughout the tower’s serving area.

FullMax Base Stations and Remote Stations
FullMax Base Station
The FullMax Base Station is shown in Picture . It is housed in a 1U, 19” rack mount enclosure
designed for indoor operation.
Front View
Rear View
Picture 2: Base Station Front and Rear View on top, Front Panel on Bottom
The Base Station employs a DC power supply which can take any DC voltage between 9 VDC
to 36 VDC.
A FullMAX system with more than a single Base Station unit, requires GPS synchronization
to ensure frame synchronization across the entire system. To variants with respect to GPS
synchronization are available:
■ The BS1000: Multiport GPS receiver is used to provide an external 10 MHz clock and a 1
PPS signal to all the BS1000 units in the tower. This is typically used when multiple sector
are installed in the same tower.
■ The BS1010: This has an internal single port GPS module which is connected directly to
the GPS antenna.
The FullMax Base Station has the following external interfaces:
■ An Ethernet 10/100 Base T interface.
■ An RS232 serial interface for Command Line Interface (CLI) access.
■ An RF interface which is connected via an RF cable and an external RF bandpass filter to
the outdoor antenna on the tower.
■ 2 GPS interfaces marked GPS1 and GPS2 as follows:
■ BS1000: GPS1 is connected to a GPS antenna. GPS2 is unused.
■ BS1010: GPS is connected to 1 PPS signal from GPS receiver, GPS2 is connected to
external 10 MHz clock from GPS receiver.

FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
The FullMax Base Station employs a high power amplifier (PA) with a P1dB of 44 dBm. A
backoff of 8 dB is needed for proper 64QAM operation and therefore the maximum
recommended downlink transmit power is 36 dBm (or 4 watts). If Modulation is restricted
to QPSK, the TX power can be increased upto 10 watts (40 dBm). An optional higher power
PA can be provided with upto 20 watts (43 dBm) TX power.
FullMax Fixed Remote Stations
The FullMax fixed remote Stations has two variants:
■ FS4000/FS4010: An indoor unit as shown in picture 3 below.
■ FS4500/FS4510: A sealed outdoor unit as shown in picture 4 below.
Picture 3
Picture 4
The fixed Remote Station employs a DC power supply which can take any DC voltage
between 9 VDC to 36 VDC.
The Remote Fixed Station has an optional GPS module (unlike in the case of the Base
Station, this is not mandatory). The indoor fixed Remote Station with no GPS module is
referred to as the FS4000 while the same unit when equipped with the GPS module is
referred to as FS4010. Similarly, the outdoor fixed Remote Station with no GPS module is
referred to as the FS4500 while the same unit when equipped with the GPS module is
referred to as FS4510
FullMax Remote Station has the following external interfaces:
■

FullMAX Base Station and Remote Station (ardware Architecture
The FullMax Base Station and Remote Station architecture is described in the figure 6
below. They consist of a Baseband Processor Board (BBP), an Analog Front End (AFE)
section and a Power Supply.
Figure 6: FullMax Base Stationa dn Remote Station High Level Architecture
The BBP is the main control board of the FullMax radio. It is designed to perform MAC, PHY,
networking, network management and other key functions required by broadband wireless
Base Station and Remote Stations. The BBP has the following main characteristics:
■ Processing resources:


A Texas Instruments (TI) Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and a Xilinx Spartan 3A
FPGA to execute the PHY layer functions
A Freescale PQ3 processor to execute the MAC layer and complementary
embedded software functions
■ 10/100 BaseT and RS232 user interfaces
■ A digital I/Q interface
The Analog Front End (AFE) section block diagram is described the figure 7 below. The AFE
section performs signal processing functions needed to deliver the signal to the antenna
and to receive the signal from the antenna. The AFE consists of an RF Small Signal (RFSS)
board and a RF Front End (RFFE) board.
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
Figure 7: Analog Front End (AFE) Block Diagram
The RFSS performs analog to digital conversion (ADC), digital to analog conversion (DAC),
receive and transmit signal filtering, up/down frequency conversion and Automatic Gain
Control (AGC).
The RFSS employs a two stage up/down frequency conversion including an IF stage at 1.22
GHz and an RF stage. The IF stage employs a SAW filter bank for receive signal filtering
independent of the RF frequency used. The individual SAW filter in the bank is selected
based on the channel bandwidth used. The RF stage down converts the frequency of the
signal in the transmit (TX) direction from the 1.22 GHz IF frequency to the selected RF
frequency in any range between 40 MHz and 958 MHz. This is done through the RF
synthesizer which can be tuned between a frequency of 1.26 GHz and a frequency of 2.178
GHz in 10 KHz steps. Similarly, the RF synthesizer is used to up convert the frequency of the
received signal to the IF frequency.
In addition to the filtering at the IF stage, the RFSS has a programmable receive analog
baseband filter which is programmed to the precise bandwidth of the channel used. This
programmable analog baseband filtering along with the programmable baseband digital
filter at the BBP is needed to enable the AFE to transmit and receive over a wide range of
channel bandwidths. Furthermore, the RFSS has a sampling clock synthesizer which is
programmed to generate the sampling clock needed for each channel bandwidth.
The RFSS AGC is used to map a wide range of receive power levels to an optimal processing
window at the input to the ADC. The AGC is used in the Remote Station to adjust the
demodulator gain depending on its distance and path‐loss from the Base Station.
The RF Front End (RFFE) board performs amplification in both transmit and receive
directions.
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
In the transmit direction, the RFFE contains a wide‐range variable attenuator and an RF
Power Amplifier (PA). The variable attenuator determines the power level into the PA
which, in turn, determines the TX power out of the radio. Considering that the Base Station
transmits to all Remote Stations in its sector, the TX power at the Base Station is typically
maintained at a constant 36 dBm. The TX power at the Remote Station however is
determined by a closed loop power control algorithm in the Base Station depending on the
path loss to each remote Station.
In the receive direction, the RFFE has a bank of Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs). Each LNA is
optimized for a portion of the 40 to 958 MHz range.
A Transmit/Receive (T/R) switch at the RFFE is used to switch the AFE from receive mode to
transmit mode and vice‐versa as needed for the implementation of Time Division Duplexing
(TDD). The TDD frame is divided between a downlink sub‐frame and an uplink sub‐frame.
The length of each sub‐frame is configurable. Note that while the Base Station always
transmits in the downlink sub‐frame, the Remote Stations only transmits in the uplink sub‐
frame in time slots allocated by the Base Station.
The AFE employs 8051 microcontrollers for monitoring and control of all aspects of the AFE
operation. A serial interface protocol is available to support control of the master
microcontroller on the RFSS board by the main PQ3 processor on the BBP board.
Note: The AFE employs a non‐agile external RF band‐pass filter which is shown in yellow
block in the AFE block diagram in Figure 7 above.

FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
Multiple Base Station Installation
A Base Station functions as a single sector in the tower. A typical installation includes
multiple (typically 3) sectors in a tower. In this case, each of the BS1000 units will be placed
on a different shelf in the rack and the installation procedure outlined in the above
paragraph will be repeated for each of the BS1000 units.
In addition to the above, multiple BS1000 operation requires the use of a GPS antenna for
TDD frame synchronization. The GPS connectors of each BS1000 unit will be connected to
an external GPS based time synchronization device (OctoClock). The time synchronization
device provides time reference (GPS synchronized external 10 MHz clock and 1 PPS signal)
to all BS1000 units in the tower and connects to a single GPS antenna.
Indoor FS4000/FS4010 Installation
1. FS4000/FS4010 installation procedure is the same as the Base Station installation

Quality of Service
Support for Quality of Service (QoS) is a fundamental part of the FullMax system design.
Strong QoS control is achieved by using a connection‐oriented architecture where all
downlink and uplink connections are controlled by the serving BS1000. Before any data
transmission happens, the BS1000 and the FS4000 establish a unidirectional logical link,
called a connection, between the two MAC‐layer peers. Each connection is identified by a
connection identifier (CID), which serves as a temporary address for data transmissions over
the particular link. In addition to connections for transferring user data, FullMAX defines
three management connections—the basic, primary, and secondary connections — that are
used for functions such as ranging.
Service Classes
QoS sets of parameters are saved in a service class. Different QoS parameters are used for
different applications types.
Scheduling
To support a wide variety of applications, FullMAX defines five scheduling services that are
supported by the base station MAC scheduler for data transport over a connection:
Unsolicited grant services (UGS): This is designed to support fixed‐size data packets at a
constant bit rate (CBR). Examples of applications that may use this service are VoIP without
silence suppression. The mandatory service flow parameters that define this service are:
maximum sustained traffic rate, maximum latency, tolerated jitter, and request /
transmission policy.
Extended real‐time Polling Service ( ErtPS) service: This service is designed to support real‐
time applications, such as SCADA or VoIP with silence suppression, that have variable data
rates but require guaranteed data rate and delay. The mandatory service flow parameters
that define this service are maximum sustained traffic rate, maximum latency, tolerated
jitter, and request/transmission policy.
Real‐time polling services (rtPS): This service is designed to support real‐time service flows,
such as surveillance cameras that generate variable‐size data packets on a periodic basis.
The mandatory service flow parameters that define this service are minimum reserved
35

FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
traffic rate, maximum sustained traffic rate, maximum latency, and request/transmission
policy.
Non‐real‐time polling service (nrtPS): This service is designed to support delay‐tolerant
data streams, such as an FTP, that require variable‐size data grants at a minimum
guaranteed rate. The mandatory service flow parameters to define this service are
minimum reserved traffic rate, maximum sustained traffic rate, traffic priority, and
request/transmission policy.
Best‐effort (BE) service: This service is designed to support data streams, such as Web
browsing, that do not require a minimum service‐level guarantee. The mandatory service
flow parameters to define this service are maximum sustained traffic rate, traffic priority,
and request/transmission policy.

Service Classes Configuration in FullMax
To create / delete / edit service classes in the FullMax system go to Admin > Service Class.
Click the Add button to add a new service class.
■ Name:
The service class name is used as a reference when associating a service flow with a
service class.
■ Scheduling Type:
This parameter specifies which scheduling service type is associated with the service
flow.
■ Traffic Priority:
37
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
The value of this parameter specifies the priority of an associated service flow. This
parameter is available in case of a downlink or uplink service flow which is associated
with any other uplink scheduling type except UGS.
■ Minimum Reserved Traffic Rate:
The Minimum Reserved Traffic Rate parameter specifies the minimum rate, in kilobits
per second (kbps), reserved for this service flow. The base station should be able to
satisfy connection bandwidth demand up to its minimum reserved traffic rate. If less
bandwidth is requested for a connection than its Minimum Reserved Traffic Rate, the
base station will reallocate the excess reserved bandwidth for other purposes. A
Minimum Reserved Traffic Rate set to zero shall mean no minimum reserved traffic rate
requirement.
■ Maximum Traffic Rate:
The Maximum Traffic Rate parameter defines the peak information rate of the service.
The rate is expressed in kilobits per second (kbps) and pertains to the service data at the
input to the system. This parameter does not limit the instantaneous rate of the service
since this is governed by the physical attributes of the ingress port. However, at the
destination network interface in the uplink direction, the service shall be policed to
conform to this parameter, on the average, over time. On the network in the downlink
direction, it may be assumed that the service was already policed at the ingress to the
network. If this parameter is set to zero, then there is no explicitly mandated maximum
rate. The maximum traffic rate field specifies only a bound, not a guarantee that the
rate is available.
■ Maximum Traffic Burst:
The Maximum traffic burst parameter defines the maximum burst size that must be
accommodated for the service. Since the physical speed of ingress/egress ports, the air
interface, and the backhaul, will in general be greater than the maximum traffic rate
parameter for a service, this parameter describes the maximum continuous burst the
system should accommodate for the service assuming the service is not currently using
any of its available resources. Maximum Traffic Burst set to zero means no Maximum
Traffic Burst reservation requirement.
■ Maximum Latency:
The value of this parameter specifies the maximum interval between the reception of a
packet at the base station or the subscriber station and the forwarding of the packet to
its Air Interface. A value of zero for Maximum Latency is interpreted as no commitment.
■ Tolerated Jitter:
38
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
The value of this parameter specifies the maximum delay variation (jitter) for the
connection. This parameter is available in case of a downlink or uplink service flow
which are associated with Uplink Grant Scheduling Type = UGS or ertPS. A value of zero
for Tolerated Jitter is interpreted as no commitment.
■ Enable ARQ:
This parameter indicates whether the Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) use is requested
for the connection that is being setup.
■ Window Size:
Window size indicates the maximum number of unacknowledged fragments at any time.
■ Block Size:
The value of this parameter specifies the size of an ARQ block.
■ Block Lifetime:
The maximum time interval an ARQ fragment will be managed by the transmitter ARQ
machine, once initial transmission of the fragment has occurred. If transmission or
retransmission of the fragment is not acknowledged by the receiver before the time
limit is reached, the fragment is discarded. A value of 0 means infinite.
■ Sync Loss Timeout:
This parameter indicates the maximum interval before declaring a loss of
synchronization of the sender and receiver state machines. A value of 0 means infinite.
■ Purge Timeout:
Indicates the time interval the ARQ window is advanced after a fragment is received. A
value of 0 means infinite.
■ Deliver in Order:
When checked, the data of this service will be delivered by the receiving MAC to its
client application in the order in which data was handed off to the originating MAC.
Service Flows
FullMAX also defines a concept of a service flow. A service flow is a unidirectional flow of
packets with a particular service class. The service flow is provisioned through the Network
Management System (NMS).

Active State: a service flow has resources committed by the BS1000
■ Convergence Sublayer:
Ethernet is supported at this stage.
Classifiers
Classification is the process by which a packet is mapped onto a particular transport
connection for transmission between peers. The mapping process associates a packet with a
transport connection, which also creates an association with the service flow characteristics
of that connection. This process facilitates the delivery of packets with the appropriate QoS
constraints. A classification rule is a set of matching criteria applied to each packet entering
the FullMax network. It consists of some protocol‐specific packet matching criteria
(destination IP address, for example), a classification rule priority, and a reference to a
Connection ID (CID). If a packet matches the specified packet matching criteria, it is then
delivered on the connection defined by the CID. The service flow characteristics of the
connection provide the QoS for that packet. Several classification rules may each refer to
the same service flow. The classification rule priority is used for ordering the application of
classification rules to packets. Explicit ordering is necessary because the patterns used by
classification rules may overlap. The priority need not be unique, but care should be taken
within a classification rule priority to prevent ambiguity in classification. Downlink
classification rules are applied by the base station to packets it is transmitting and uplink
classification rules are applied at the subscriber station.

Ethernet Fields
■ Source MAC: address mask:
These parameters specify the value of the Ethernet source address required for packets
to match this rule. An Ethernet packet with source Ethernet address value src‐addr
matches this parameter if:
src‐addr AND mask = address
■ Destination MAC: address mask:
These parameters specify the value of the Ethernet destination address required for
packets to match this rule. An Ethernet packet with destination Ethernet address value
dst‐addr matches this parameter if:
dst‐addr AND mask = address
■ Ethernet Protocol: protocol type:
These parameters indicate the layer‐three protocol ID and its format in the Ethernet
packet.
A type value DIX means that the rule applies only to frames that use the Dec‐Intel‐Xerox
(DIX) encapsulation or the RFC ‐1042 Sub‐Network Access Protocol (SNAP)
encapsulation format. A DIX or SNAP encapsulated Ethernet frame with layer‐three
protocol value ether_protocol matches this parameter if:
type = DIX AND ether_protocol = protocol
A type value of DSAP means that the rule applies only to frame using the IEEE‐802.3
encapsulation format with Destination Service Access Point (DSAP) other then 0xAA
(which is reserved to SNAP). A DSAP encapsulated Ethernet frame with DSAP value dsap
matches this parameter if:
type = DSAP AND dsap = protocol
If the header contains an 802.1 P/Q Tag header (i.e. Ethernet type = 0x8100), the type
parameter applies to the embedded EtherType field within the 802.1 P/Q header.
Payload Header Suppression (PHS)
The FullMax system enables the user to associate a payload header suppression (PHS) rule
with a classifier. In PHS, a repetitive portion of the payload header is suppressed by the
sending entity and restored by the receiving entity. If PHS is enabled at FullMax connection,
each packet is prefixed with a PHS index. The sending entity uses classification rules to map
packets into a service flow. The classification rule uniquely maps packets to its associated
PHS Rule. The receiving entity uses the CID and the PHS index to restore the original.
44

FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
The PHS configuration function allows the FullMax NMS user to request the fields to be
suppressed on a specific classifier. The first packet that matches the classifier causes the
sending entity to learn the suppressed fields' values and to update the receiving entity with
the values. The PHS has a payload header suppression valid option to verify or not verify the
payload header before suppressing it. If validation fails, the sending entity will change the
PHS fields' values and will update the receiving entity. The user is expected to select header
fields that remain static within a higher layer session (e.g., IP addresses) to be suppressed,
while enabling transmission of fields that change from packet to packet (e.g., IP Total
Length).
PHS Templates
Packet header fields are highly dependent on the packet format. The FullMax system has a
set of templates that catches standard frame / packet structures. These include:
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
TCP / Ethernet
TCP / VLAN / Ethernet
DNP / TCP / Ethernet
DNP / TCP / VLAN / Ethernet
UDP / Ethernet
UDP / VLAN / Ethernet
DNP / UDP / Ethernet
DNP / UDP / VLAN / Ethernet
RTP / UDP / Ethernet
A template is an XML file that includes the list of fields and their sizes. New templates can be
generated and added to the system without any change to the FullMax NMS software.

PHS Configuration in FullMax
To add a classifier to a PHS rule to a classifier, click the Add button in the classifier window.
To edit or delete a classifier's PHS rule, click the PHS link in the classifiers window or use the
tree navigation on the left side of the window.
When clicking the Add button the list of header structure templates is open.
The PHS window displays all header fields of the selected frames / packets along with their
sizes. The user may select which of the fields should be suppressed and which should be

transferred untouched. The user must check the 'Verify' checkbox if the classifier rule is not
completely specific. For example if the UDP port may vary between sessions, and the
classifier states a range of UDP ports, it is required that the sending entity will verify the
value and update the receiving entity when a new session starts and the port value has
changed.
Packet Filtering
Packet filtering is the selective passing or blocking of data packets as they pass through the
FullMax network interface. The FullMax system enables the operator to define packet
filtering using service flows and classifiers. If you define a classifier with the action rule
'Discard Packets', all packets that match the classifier will be discarded.

CHAPTER 4: MONITORING FULLMAX SYSTEM
Monitoring Device Status
FullMax NMS monitors FullMax devices to track their status. This is done through polling.
There are different mechanisms to monitor the status of base stations and the status of
subscribers' stations. Both mechanisms are operated by the Poller module in the FullMax
NMS.
Monitoring Device Status
Base Stations
FullMax NMS Poller is a periodic process. The poller wakes‐up every configurable time,
connects to a FullMax base stations and performs a simple test to see if the resource is responding
correctly. If not, the process is repeated several more times. If the base station is still not responding
correctly, FullMax NMS will change its status to disconnected.
Subscribers Stations
Subscribers' stations status monitoring is performed in two stages:
■ Base Stations monitor the subscribers' station status by periodically requesting the
subscribers' to perform ranging. If several periodic ranging replies remain unanswered,
the base station deregisters the subscriber station and removes the subscriber from its
registered subscribers table.
■ FullMax NMS periodically reads the base station's registered subscribers table and
compares it with the current status of the subscribers and updated it according to the
subscriber's new status.
Displaying Device Status
There are two ways to view the current status of a device:

48
The device color, as displayed in several different windows such as: the home page tree,
device page, subscriber`s page and map view.
The color green indicates that the device is connected.
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
The color red indicates that the device is disconnected.

The status tab of the device page always displays the device status (e.g. connected /
disconnected)
Device Status Tab
Most of the device status parameters are read once every time it boots‐up, other
parameters updated periodically.
Parameters that are periodically updated are the station status and for mobile station only
the latitude and longitude. Other parameters, such as boot time, IP address and software
version are updated after the device reboots or a subscriber station performs registration
with a new base station.
The device status tab displays the following status parameters:
Station Summary
■ Type – is the station type, e.g. base station, fixed subscriber station or mobile subscriber
station.
■ Status – current status of the station e.g. connected or disconnected.
■ Name – the name assigned to the station.

Alarm Status
Displays count of outstanding alarms related to the station device.
Alarms are events of severity warning, minor, major or critical. Alarms are outstanding if the
problem still exists (the alarm was not cleared) and no user had yet acknowledged it.
The alarm status on a base station sector counts alarms of the base station device itself and
also alarms of all its associated fixed and mobile stations.

Monitoring Network Changes
One of the main functions of the FullMax NMS is the process of detecting changes within
the network. Every change in the network is translated by the FullMax NMS to an event.
There are two main types of events: those generated internally by the FullMax NMS server
and those generated by the devices and sent to FullMax NMS using SNMP traps. A FullMax
device may generate a trap when one of its fans is malfunctioning, while FullMax NMS may
generate an event when a new unknown subscriber station appears in a base station's
registered subscribers table.
Events Features
Severity
Each event has a level of severity. An event's severity indicates the order in which the
FullMax NMS clients should handle that event relative to events of other severities. Levels
of severity are intended to help the FullMax clients to prioritize their work.
The following severities are available for FullMax events:

Critical
This event means a base station device on the network is down.
If such an event is outstanding in the system, all FullMax NMS clients will show a flashing critical
warning on the page header.

Major
A subscriber's fixed station is down or in danger of going down.

Minor
A part of a device (a service, and interface, a fan, etc.) has stopped functioning.

Warning
An event has occurred that may require action. This severity can also be used to indicate a
condition that should be noted (logged) but does not require direct action.
51
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0

Normal
The event carries informational message. No action required.
Status
An event with severity normal is an informational event and it is not required to monitor its
status. Events of higher severities may require monitoring. To assist with monitoring events
FullMax NMS maintains status tracking on these events. When a new event is generated the
event's status is set to 'outstanding'. A FullMax NMS user may acknowledge an event,
stating that the problem reported by the event is handled by the acknowledging user. The
status of the event will be set to 'acknowledged'. When FullMax NMS detects that the
problem reported by the event is fixed, it will change the status of the event to 'cleared'. A
FullMax NMS user may also manually clear the event.
The event status is displayed in all event list pages (e.g. Major System Events). Details on
the time when the event was acknowledged and cleared, and the acknowledging user can
be displayed in the Event Details page.
Events Correlation
Some of the FullMax system events indicate a step in a process. Such an event can be a
subscriber's station initialization process, which includes the steps of ranging, registration,
service flow creation etc. FullMax NMS identify these processes and correlate all events that
are related to a single process and set them under a single root event.
52

CHAPTER 5: FULLMAX SECURITY
This section reviews the security mechanisms included in the FullMax system. The FullMax
system provides two basic security services: authentication and confidentiality.
Authentication involves the process of verifying the identity claimed by a FullMax device.
Confidentiality involves preventing the disclosure of information by ensuring that only
authorized devices can view the contents of FullMax data messages.
The FullMax system provides secure communications by performing three steps:
authentication, key establishment, and data encryption. The authentication procedure
provides common keying material for the Base Stations and Remote Stations and facilitates
the secure exchange of data encryption keys that ensure the confidentiality of FullMax data
communications.
Security Associations
A security association (SA) is a shared set of security parameters that a Base Station and its
Remotes use to facilitate secure communications. Similar in concept to Internet Protocol
Security (IPsec), an SA defines the security parameters of a connection, i.e., encryption keys
and algorithms. SA’s fall into one of two categories: authorization and data. A distinct SA is
established for each service offered by the Base Station.
Authorization SA’s facilitate authentication and key establishment to configure data SA’s.
Authorization SA’s contain the following attributes:
■ X.509 certificates. X.509 digital certificates allow FullMAX communication components
to validate one another. The FullMax manufacturer certificate is used for informational
purposes and the Base Station and Remote Station certificates contain the respective
devices’ public keys. The certificates are signed by Full Spectrum or may be signed by a
third‐party certification authority.
■ Authorization key (AK). AK’s are exchanged between the Base Station and its Remote
Stations to authenticate one another prior to the traffic encryption key (TEK) exchange.
The authorization SA includes an identifier and a key lifetime value for each AK.
■ Key encryption key (KEK). Derived from the AK, the KEK is used to encrypt TEKs during
the TEK exchange, as discussed later in this chapter.
■ Message authentication keys. Derived from the AK, the message authentication keys
59
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
validate the authenticity of key distribution messages during key establishment. These
keys are also used to sign management messages to validate message authenticity.
■ Authorized data SA list. The authorized data SA list provided to the Remote Stations by
the Base Station an indication of which data encryption SAs the Remote Stations are
authorized to access.
Data SA’s establish the parameters used to protect data messages between Base Stations
and Remote Stations. A data SA contains the following security attributes:
■ SA identifier (SAID). This unique value identifies the SA to distinguish it from other SA’s.
■ Encryption cipher to be employed. The connection will use this encryption cipher
definition to provide wireless link confidentiality.
■ Traffic encryption key (TEK). TEK’s are randomly generated by the Base Station and are
used to encrypt FullMAX data messages. Two TEKs are issued to prevent
communications disruption during TEK rekeying; the first TEK is used for active
communications, while the second TEK remains dormant.
■ Data encryption SA type indicator. This indicator identifies the type of data SA. There
are three types:
Primary SA. This SA is established as a unique connection for each Remote Station upon
initialization with the Base Station. There is only one primary SA per Remote Station.
Static SA. This SA secures the data messages and is generated for each service defined
by the Base Station.
Dynamic SA. This SA is created and eliminated in response to the initiation and
termination of specific service flows.
Authentication and Authorization
FullMax security generally refers to authorization as the process of authenticating FullMAX
nodes and granting them access to the network. The authorization processes implicitly
include authentication. The FullMAX system implements the Privacy Key Management
Version (PKMV2) protocol as the set of rules responsible for authentication and
authorization to facilitate secure key distribution in FullMAX. PKM uses authorization SA’s to
authenticate system entities so that data encryption SA’s can be established. PKM’s
authentication enforcement function provides the Remote Stations and Base Stations with
60
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
identical AK’s; each AK is then used to derive the message authentication keys and KEKs
that facilitate the secure exchange of the TEK’s. FullMax devices derive the AK using PKMv2.
PKMv2 requires mutual authentication between the Base Station and the Remote Station.
PKMv2 starts with what is known as RSA device mutual authentication. The figure below
illustrates its challenge‐response verification scheme. It facilitates the exchange of a pre‐
Primary AK (pre‐PAK) to ultimately derive a common AK. The exchange begins with the
Remote Station sending an authorization information message containing the manufacturer
X.509 certificate to the Base Station. The message is strictly for informational purposes.
The authorization information message is followed by an authorization request message
sent from the Remote Station to the Base Station. It contains the following information:
■
■
■
■
A 64‐bit random number generated by the Remote Station
The Remote Station FullMax‐issued unique X.509 certificate
A description of the Remote Station supported cryptographic algorithms
The primary SAID
Upon receipt of the authorization request message, the Base Station verifies the Remote
Station X.509 certificate. If the certificate is valid, the Base Station sends an authorization
reply message to the Remote Station containing the following:
61
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
■ The 64‐bit Remote Station generated random number sent in the authorization request
message and another 64‐bit random number generated by the Base Station.
■ The 256‐bit pre‐PAK encrypted using the Remote Station’s public key
■ The Pre‐PAK sequence number used to differentiate between successive generations of
pre‐PAKs
■ The Pre‐PAK lifetime
■ A list of SAIDs that the Remote Station is authorized to access and their associated
properties
■ The Base Station’s FullMax‐issued X.509 certificate
■ The Base Station’s signature provided by the Base Station’s private key.
The Remote Station verifies theBase Station’s X.509 certificate. If the certificate is valid, the
Base Station and Remote Station proceed to the next authentication procedure to derive
the AK.
62

FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
After RSA device mutual authentication occurs, there is a process of EAP after the RSA
device mutual authorization procedure. The process is depicted in the figure below. The
pre‐PAK is delivered to the Remote Station and then used to derive the EAP integrity key
(EIK) to secure the first EAP exchange. The first EAP exchange results in the production of a
512‐bit master session key (MSK) that is disclosed to the authentication, authorization, and
accounting (AAA) server, the Base Station and the Remote Station. The Base Station and the
Remote Station truncate the MSK to 320 bits—160 bits for the pair wise master key (PMK)
and 160 bits to create another EIK. The PMK, the Remote Station MAC address, and the
Base Station identifier are then used to derive the AK. Device mutual authentication only
takes place during initial network entry. For network reentry or re‐authentication, only EAP
authentication is required.
63
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
Encryption Key Establishment
Once authentication is complete, the Base Station and the Remote Station share an
activated AK. PKM then uses the 160‐bit AK to derive the 128‐bit KEK and the 160‐bit
message authentication keys, which are used to facilitate a secure exchange of TEKs. The
secure TEK exchange uses a three‐way handshake between the Base Station and the
Remote Station, as illustrated in the figure below.
The first step in this procedure is the TEK‐Challenge sent from the Base Station to the
Remote Station. The TEK‐Challenge is sent during initial network entry or during
reauthorization.
64
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
The TEK‐Challenge includes the following attributes:
■ Base Station random number. This number is attached to the TEK‐Challenge to prevent
replay attacks by validating message freshness.
■ Message authentication code. These validate data authenticity of the key distribution
messages sent from the Base Station to the Remote Station.
■ AK sequence number and AK identifier (AKID). These attributes identify which AK is
used for the TEK exchange.
Upon receipt of the TEK‐Challenge, the Remote Station validates the authenticity of the
TEK‐Challenge using the message authentication keys. After the TEK‐Challenge has been
validated, the Remote Station sends the TEK‐Request to the Base Station , which contains
the following attributes:
■ Base Station and the Remote Stations random numbers. In addition to sending back the
Base Station random number from the TEK‐Challenge, the Remote Station attaches its
own random value.
■ Message authentication code. These validate data authenticity of the key distribution
messages sent from the Remote Station to the Base Station.
■ AK sequence number and AKID. These identify which AK is used for the TEK exchange.
■ Security capabilities parameters. These describe the security capabilities of the Remote
Station, including supported cryptographic suites. During initial network entry, the TEK‐
Request will also include a request for SA descriptors to identify the primary, static, and
dynamic SAs that the Remote Station is authorized to access. FullMax Base Station and
the Remote Station support the EAS‐128 cryptographic suite.
Upon receipt of the TEK‐Request, the Base Station verifies that the Base Station random
number matches the number sent in the TEK‐Challenge and validates the message
authentication keys. The Base Station next confirms that the AKID refers to an available AK
and that the security capabilities parameters provided by the Remote Stations are
supported. Once the TEK‐Request is validated, the Base Station will generate two TEKs. The
Base Station then sends the TEK‐Response to the Remote Stations, which contains the
following attributes:
■ Base Station and the Remote Stations random number. The Base Station attaches its
random number generated in the TEK‐Challenge and the Remote Stations random
number generated in the TEK‐Request.
65
Copyright © 2014 Full Spectrum Inc. All rights reserved.
FullMax System User Guide: 4.0
■ Message authentication code. These validate data authenticity for the key distribution
messages sent from the Base Station to the Remote Stations.
■ AK sequence number and AKID. These attributes identify which AK is used for the TEK
exchange.
■ List of authorized SAIDs. This is the list of primary, static, and dynamic SAs that the
Remote Station is authorized to access.
■ TEKs. Using the KEK derived from the AK, the Base Station encrypts the two TEKs. These
keys include all of the required keying material needed to facilitate secure
communications between the Base Station and the Remote Stations.
Upon receipt of the TEK‐Response, the Remote Station ensures the Base Station random
number matches the value given in the TEK‐Challenge and that the Remote Stations random
number matches the value delivered in the TEK‐Request. The Remote Stations then
validates the message authentication keys. Once validation is complete, the Remote Station
installs the appropriate TEKs and secure communications can begin.
Data Confidentiality
The completion of the TEK exchange provides the Base Station and the Remote Station with
the TEKs required to encrypt FullMAX data communications. The type of encryption
employed by the TEK is 128 bits AES.
Network Management Security
The NMS server is a user role‐based web application centric. It uses role‐based
authorization to manage access. Access permissions are granted to an abstract entity called
a security role, and access is allowed only to users or groups of users who have that role.
NMS client‐server traffic is over HTTPS (HTTP over SSL). HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) allows web
browsers and the web server to communicate over a secured connection. It also provides
authentication: during the initial attempt to communicate with the web server, that server
will present the web browser with a set of credentials, in the form of a Certificate, as proof
the site is who and what it claims to be. The Certificate can be purchased from a well‐known
Certificate Authority (CA) such as VeriSign, or can be manually generated by the FullMax
customer.

FullMax supports secure remote SW download to the Base Station and the Remote Station
as follows:
The flash memory in the Base Station and the Remote Stations have two partitions. Each of
these partitions accommodates one full load.
The downloaded file has a checksum code used at the Base Station and the Remote Station
to verify its integrity.
The new load does not override the current operational load in the non‐volatile memory
before its integrity is verified by means of a checksum. If an error is detected, the new load
is discarded.
