5.3 Viewing Performance Reports
The Performance Monitor Report displays performance views of each of
the interfaces1 (see
Figure
5-4
). Several performance data are collected
for each of the interfaces (ES, SES, and UAS), as well as Specific data per
Interface type (e.g., TX and RX bytes for Ethernet). For the Air Interface,
user defined thresholds data are collected. Refer to
Table
5-1
and
Table
5-2
.
Data is collected and selectively displayed based on three time intervals
as selected by the Interval radio buttons:
Current (t=0)
15 minutes Intervals
Daily.
UAS – This parameter counts the time the air link was not providing
any service. There are several potential reasons for this situation; one
of the sites has a power failure, high interference, maintenance
operation etc.
Radio BBER Threshold – This parameter counts the seconds in which
the radio performance is below a user specified threshold. The
threshold is measured in percent. The threshold can be set from 0.1%
up to 50%.
For links with E1/T1 service the recommended value is 1% (system
default). Excellent TDM service is expected below the 1% threshold,
meaning that for 1% threshold, the expected BBER value should be 0 if
there are no problems during the 15 min interval. If the BBER threshold
increases some degraded service might be noticed.
For links with Ethernet only service, 8% threshold is recommended and
not 1% meaning that for 8% threshold, the recommended BBER value
should be 0 if there are no problems during the 15 min interval. Since
WinLink 1000 provides a loss less Ethernet service, there is throughput
degradation in case of interference. The degradation is proportional to
the BBER.
Radio RSS Threshold can also be used to indicate problems in the radio
channel. After verifying the RSS according to the link budget calculator
1 Ethernet performance is not collected in PoE systems.

during the installation. A value of -5dB from the current RSS is
recommended as a threshold.

5.9 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What performance issues will arise due to environmental conditions?
A: WinLink 1000 is not sensitive to environmental conditions. However
if heavy rain or snowfall is expected ensure the performance by
allowing a higher fade margin in the link budget planning calculations.
Q: When using the WinLink 1000, what is the potential for interference
between our system and other cellular or wireless Networks devices?
A: The WinLink 1000 is a robust system. However since it operates in
unlicensed band there maybe some interference. Nevertheless, the fact
that we can manually set the frequency gives us the flexibility to find a
clear channel. In addition each WinLink 1000 link uses unique user
configurable SSID code.
Q: What protocol does the WinLink 1000 use, i.e. 802.11?
Frequently Asked Questions 5-19
Chapter 5 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual
A: WinLink 1000 uses a proprietary protocol; this protocol contains
improved options that more efficiently support the clock
reconstruction from the TDM services.
Q: What type of security is offered on WinLink 1000?
A: WinLink 1000 has three levels of security:
1. vAES hardware mechanism
2. Each unit uses a unique SSID link-specific code (up to 24
alphanumeric characters)
3. Proprietary protocol protects from eavesdropping from other
systems.
Q: Can we use horizontal and vertical polarization on the same
frequency to double the number of wireless links?
A: Installing two WinLink 1000 systems in the same band with cross
polarization provides 20–25 dB separations. Nevertheless, since there
are reflections, the cross polarization separation is decreased and
spatial separation is recommended.
Q: Could you add the frequency of 5.735 to the manual selection in
order to increase the number of 20 MHz channels to six?
A: Currently the system provides fixed channels, with one manual
frequency setting. The manual setting provides flexibility of spectrum
selection, including 5.735 MHz.
Q: Can we mange WinLink 1000 using SNMPc other than the supplied
management software that comes with the units?
A: Yes. The WinLink 1000 is SNMP-based. WinLink 1000 can be
managed when using other SNMP software after implementing RADWIN
MIB’s.
Q: Can WinLink 1000 be managed and configured via Telnet?
A: No. Use only the WinLink 1000 software manager.
Q: Can I use WinLink 1000 with any vendor’s external antenna?
A: RADWIN supplies the WinLink 1000 external ODU with an N-type
typical connector. Any vendor’s external antenna that is of the same
type and of equal or less directional gain as an antenna that RADWIN
5-20 Frequently Asked Questions
WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 5 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
authorized with its specific external ODU product can be used. That is
given that it can be cascaded to our external unit. Please note that dB
losses in the cascading cable between the external ODU and antenna
should be taken into consideration. (In the supplied cascading cable of
one meter we have 1 dB loss)
Q: Do we need to add external arrestors on WinLink 1000 cables?
A: The WinLink 1000 ODU includes arrestors and lightning protection.
Therefore there is no need to add additional arrestors.
Q: What is the actual Ethernet data rate and maximum throughput?
A: The maximum net throughput of WinLink 1000 is full duplex 18
Mbps.
Note
WinLink 1000 is a symmetrical system
Q: What is the sensitivity for each rate of the WinLink 1000?
A: The rate sensitivities are:
Rate
[Mbps]
Sensitivity
[dB]
12 -84
18 -81
36 -74
48 -68
Q: Does WinLink 1000 withhold any MAC Addresses?
A: The WinLink 1000 is a layer 2 Bridge (VLAN transparent). The built-
in switch contains a MAC Address table up to 2047.
Q: Can I use any category 5e cable in order to connect the IDU and
ODU?
A: The cable should be suitable for outdoor use, and shielded Category
5e.
Q: What are the BER values expected in the WinLink 1000 link?
A: 10-11 (according to BER sensitivity threshold)
Q: Does WinLink 1000 use DSSS technique?

Link Budget Calculator
C.1 Overview
The Link Budget Calculator is a utility for calculating the expected
performance of the WinLink 1000 wireless link and the possible
configurations for a specific link range.
The utility allows you to calculate the expected RSS of the link, and find
the type of services and their effective throughput as a function of the
link range and deployment conditions.
The Link Budget Calculator is supplied on the WinLink 1000 Manager
CD. After installation, it may also be accessed from the menu bar of
the WinLink Manager (see Figure C-1).

Æ To calculate the link budget
1. Select your WinLink system product from the dropdown list of
products.
2. Select the rate from the dropdown list. The rate defines the air-
interface rate in Mbps. The system operates in TDD mode and has
overhead of the air-interface protocol and therefore the accurate
actual throughput is provided in the ‘Service’ Row and the effective
Ethernet throughput is provided in the ‘Ethernet Rate’.
Note
Throughput can be decreased as a function of range due to
propagation delay.
The remaining fields are completed automatically depending on the
product selected in the product field. Standard WinLink 1000
system parameters are entered as default. Fields in blue boxes may
be edited if non-standard antennas and cables are used.
The Fade margin is the minimum margin that is required for LOS
conditions. For degraded link conditions, a larger fade margin
should be taken into account.

AIND Antenna Alignment
Procedure
Use this procedure when using the all indoor system WinLink 1000-
ANID or manually aligning two WinLink 1000 units.
To achieve the best benefit and link budget from the WinLink
installation, the link antennas must be aligned; the two antennas
should exactly face each other.
In order to achieve the best performance, the line of sight must be as
clear as possible with no obstructions between the two sites.
Prior to attempting WinLink alignment, install the hardware and
software in accordance with the WinLink 1000 Installation and
Operation Manual.
Figure
D-1
shows the link setup. At least two
people are needed to perform the alignment procedures.
Once the alignment is complete, you are able to evaluate the quality of
the link.

D.1 Expected Signal Level
Based on the link budget parameters of the actual WinLink sites, you
need to calculate the expected signal level that will be received by the
receiving site.
Use the Link Budget Calculator utility supplied on the WinLink 1000
Manager Software CD-ROM to calculate the expected performance of
the WinLink 1000 wireless link. The utility allows you to determine the
RSS of the link, and find the number of E1/T1 services available at
various data rates, with the minimum and maximum distance.
D.2 Performing WinLink 1000-AIND Alignment
The supervisor of the antenna alignment is situated at the receive site
with the Spectrum Analyzer.
Equipment Setup
Æ To set up the antenna alignment equipment:
1. Coarsely align the two antennas. Use the compass readings taken
during the Site Survey to point the antennas in the correct direction.
2. Connect the equipment as shown in
Figure
D-1
but connect a
spectrum analyzer in place of the remote WinLink 1000-AIND.
3. Turn on the CW transmit signal from site A (from the WinLink 1000
NMS).
4. 4. At site B, tune the SA to the frequency transmitted.
5. 5. Increase the SA sensitivity according to the expected receive
signal.
Align the antennas:
Note

Move the antennas very slowly
1. Slowly move the site B antenna azimuth axis (the elevation axis
should be locked) until you see the best signal on the SA Lock the
azimuth axis.

2. Slowly move the site A antenna azimuth axis (the elevation axis
should be locked) until you see the best signal on the SA.
Lock the azimuth axis.
3. Slowly move the site B antenna elevation axis (the azimuth axis
should be locked) until you see the best signal on the SA.
Lock the elevation axis.
4. Slowly move the site A antenna elevation axis (the azimuth axis
should be locked) until you see the best signal on the SA.
Lock the elevation axis.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 until the reading on the SA is equal or as close
as possible to the calculated receive signal (for Rx Power Level see
Expected Signal Level
).
When the SA reads the expected receive signal, the antennas are
aligned and there is an indication of a good link between the sites.
6. Tighten the antenna azimuth axis and elevation axis.
7. Stop the CW function. The NMS will restart the system.
8. Connect WinLink 1000-AIND unit to external antenna. See WinLink
1000 Installation and Operation Manual for details. The operational
link is shown in
Figure 2-3
.
9. Configure WinLink 1000 NMS at both sites to operate at the pure
channel frequency found in the RF survey. WinLink 1000 is now
ready for operation.
D.3 Configuring the Link
1. Run the Installation Wizard in the WinLink 1000 Manager Software
to set the configuration of the link. Configure the link in accordance
with the parameters calculated in the Link Budget Calculator.
2. WinLink 1000 has a unique identification number, the SSID. Each
side of the link looks for its partner with the same SSID. Therefore
both sides of the link must be configured with the same SSID.
3. The WinLink 1000 link is now ready for operation.
Configuring the Link D-3
Appendix D AIND Antenna Alignment Procedure WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual
D.4 Evaluating the Link
With the link operating at a pure channel as determined by the
RF survey procedure, the recommended performance threshold of an
WinLink 1000 link is the following:
RSS: –84 dBm minimum
There are cases when there is no line of sight, but still the link is of an
acceptable quality.
If the link is not within the acceptable limit, see
Troubleshooting
.
D-4 Evaluating the Link
WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix D AIND Antenna Alignment Procedure
D.5 Troubleshooting
If the link is not within the acceptable limit as defined in
Evaluating the
Link
, check the following:
Verify that both antennas have the same polarization
(horizontal/vertical).
Check all the WinLink 1000-AIND cable connectors for faulty
connections.
Verify that there are no obstacles in the Fresnel zone of the antenna
path such as large buildings, trees, etc.
Use a spectrum analyzer with suitable sensitivity to measure the
signal at the distance between the sites.
If nothing improves the receive power level, check the overall link.
Reduce the distance of the link–move the equipment from one site
closer to the other site–where it is possible to actually see the
antennas with the naked eye.
If you now get the expected receive signal level, you can assume
that the equipment is operational, and the problem arises from
interference between the sites.

Antenna Characteristics
An antenna is the radiating and receiving element from which the radio
signal, in the form of RF power, is radiated to its surroundings and vice
versa. The transmission range is a function of the antenna gain and
transmitting power. These factors are limited by country regulations.
WinLink 1000 may be operated with an integrated antenna attached to
the ODU unit, or with an external antenna wired to the ODU via an N-
type connector. All cables and connections must be connected
correctly to reduce losses. The required antenna impedance is 50.

Antenna
The Parabolic dish antenna is a high-gain, reflector
antenna used for radio, television, and data
communications. The relatively short wavelength of
electromagnetic (radio) energy at these frequencies allows
reasonably sized reflectors to exhibit the very desirable
highly directional response for both receiving and
transmitting.
Grid Antenna
Used for 2.4 GHz applications. Due to the large size, the
grid design minimizes weight and windloading.

Hub Site Synchronization
F.1 Introduction
This Appendix is relevant for WinLink 1000-ACCESS-CL hardware only.
WinLink 1000-ACCESS-CL ODU units are supplied with special
hardware for easing collocation of several units, using a method called
Hub Site Synchronization (HSS). HSS uses an external cable connected
to all collocated WinLink 1000 radios. This cable carries pulses sent to
each radio, which synchronize their transmission with each other.
This pulse synchronization ensures that the transmission of packets
occurs at the same time for all collocated units. This synchronized
transmission also results in all of the hub units receiving data at the
same time, eliminating the possibility of interference that could result
if some units transmit while other units at the same location receive.
HSS supports installation of up to eight collocated units.
Figure
F-1
shows interference caused by non-synchronized collocated
units.
WinLink 1000 Introduction F-1
Appendix F Hub Site Synchronization Installation and Operation Manual
Figure
F-1. Interference caused by collocated units
Figure
F-2. Collocated units using Hub Site Synchronization
F.2 Hardware Installation
HSS supports installation of up to eight collocated units. In addition to
each unit being connected to its IDU or PoE device, the collocated unit
has an additional cable that is connected to the HSS Unit. The HSS Unit
is a compact, weatherproof (IP67) connector box that is installed on
the same mast as the ODUs. All collocated units connect to this box via
CAT 5e cable. Prepared lengths are available for purchase.
F-2 Hardware Installation WinLink 1000
Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Hub Site Synchronization
The HSS is supplied with ten protective covers; any port not in use
must be closed with a protective cover.
Figure
F-3. HSS Interconnection Unit
Note
Ensure that the collocated units are connected in sequence from SYNC
1. If an ODU is removed form the hub site, then all remaining ODUs
must be reconnected to maintain the connectivity.
Æ To connect an ODU to the HSS
1. Unscrew the protective cover from the port marked SYNC 1.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector from one end of the prepared CAT 5e
cable to SYNC 1.
3. Connect the other end of the CAT 5e cable to the ODU connector
labeled SYNC.
4. Tighten the protective seal that is on the prepared cable over the
RJ-45 connector.
5. Repeat for all ODUs that are to be collocated at the hub site. The
next ODU to be connected is inserted to SYNC 2, followed by SYNC
3 and so on.
F.3 Architecture
One of the collocated ODUs at the hub site acts as the Hub Sync
Master; all the other collocated units are Hub Sync Clients. The Hub
Sync Master generates the pulses that synchronize the timing of the
Hub Sync Clients.
WinLink 1000 Architecture F-3
Appendix F Hub Site Synchronization Installation and Operation Manual
A Hub Sync Client can be configured to be two different types:
Hub Sync Client–Continue Transmission: In the event that the unit
loses synchronization with the Hub Sync Master, the link remains
active. However, without synchronization pulses, it is possible that this
unit will cause interference.
Hub Sync Client–Disable Transmission: In the event that the unit loses
synchronization with the Hub Sync Master, the link is dropped until the
synchronization pulses resume. This setting prevents the unit from
causing interference.
The remote ODUs that are not located at the hub site, are called
Independent Units and do not require HSS hardware.
F.4 HSS Link Configuration
For HSS-enabled units, the Hub Site Synchronization Settings dialog
box appears in the Link Configuration Wizard.
