Chapter 4 Configuration WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual 4.9 Setting the Date and Time Æ To set Date and time The ODU maintains a date and time value. The date and time value should be synchronized with any Network Time Protocol (NTP) version 3 compatible server1. On power-up the ODU configures the initial date and time using an NTP server. If the server IP is not configured or is not reachable, a default time is set. When configuring the NTP server IP, you should also configure the offset from the Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). If there is no server available, you can either set the date and time, or you can set the manager workstation time. Note that manual setting is not recommended since reset, power up, or synchronization with an NTP server will override the setting. • The NTP uses UDP port 123. If a firewall is configured between the ODU and the NTP ser er this port must be openedv2. • It can take up to 8 minutes for the NTP to synchronize the ODU date and time. 1. Click Configuration from the main menu. 2. Select which site to configure. The Configuration dialog box opens. 3. Select Date & Time (see Figure 4-15).

Chapter 4 Configuration WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual 4.10 Configuring the Bridge Bridge configuration is required in various network topologies, such as protection (1+1) and ring application. The bridge configuration parameters are located under the Advanced tab of the Configuration dialog box (Figure 4-17). There are three parameters to configure: • ODU bridge mode • IDU Aging time • Ethernet mode Figure 4-17. Advanced Configu ation-Ethernet rODU Bridge Mode This parameter controls the ODU mode with two optional values, • Hub Mode – in Hub mode the ODU transparently forwards the all the packets over the wireless link. 4-24 Configuring the Bridge
WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 4 Configuration • Bridge Mode – In Bridge mode the ODU performs both learning and aging, the aging time of the ODU is fixed at 300 seconds. Changing these modes requires system reset. Note IDU Aging time This parameter controls the IDU aging time. The IDU has a 2047 MAC address-learning table. The aging time parameter controls the time each MAC address is dropped from the table. Default value is 300 seconds. Any change to these parameters is effective immediately. Each side of the link can be configured separately. The following list details common configurations; both sides are must be configured with the same parameter. Notes• Standard (Default) Configuration for Ethernet Applications Set IDU aging to 300 seconds, ODU set to Bridge mode, Figure 4-17. • Fast aging mode – for rapid network topology changes Set IDU aging to one second, ODU set to Hub mode. • Hub Mode The ODU is set to HUB mode. IDU aging is not applicable. • Ethernet Bridge The ODU is set to Bridge mode. The IDU aging is not applicable. 4.11 Configuring Ethernet Mode The Ethernet mode is configurable for line speed (10/100BaseT) and duplex mode (half or full duplex). WinLink1000 provides an Auto detect feature where the line speed and duplex mode are detected automatically using autonegotiation. Use the manual configuration when external equipment does not support autonegotiation. The default setting is Auto Detect. (See Figure 4-17) It is not recommended to configure the port that i used for the management connection, since a wrong configuration can cause management disconnection or Ethernet services interruption. s Note Configuring Ethernet Mode 4-25
Chapter 4 Configuration WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual Æ To configure the Ethernet Mode: 1. From the Configuration menu, select the site to reconfigure. The Configuration dialog box opens. 2. In the Ethernet Ports Configuration pane, use the drop-down menu to select the LAN configuration. 3. Click Apply to save the changes. NoteIt is possible to close the Ethernet service by disconnecting the Ethernet port. The user should be aware that it i possible to close the port and not have any access to the device. If this should occur the workaround is as follows: s• Connect the system from the remote site • Connect via other Ethernet port (IDU-C) • Power down the equipment and connect immediately after the power up (the fastest way is to enter install mode). 4.12 Changing Community Values The ODU communicates with the management application using SNMPv1 protocol. The protocol defines three types of communities: • Read-Only for retrieving information from the ODU • Read-Write to configure and control the ODU • Trap used by the ODU to issue traps. The community string must be entered at login. The user must know the password and the correct community string in order to gain access to the system. A user may have read-only privileges. It is not possible to manage the ODU if the read-write or the read community values are forgotten. A new community value may be obtained from technical support for the purpose of setting new community; the serial number or the MAC address of the ODU must be supplied. 4-26 Changing Community Values
WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 4 Configuration The manager application and the ODU use the community strings public-bru1 for the local unit and public-bru4097 for the remote unit. These are the factory defaults, but can only be used one time on the first installation. A new community string must be set when entering the system for the first time. The read-write community and read-only community have a minimum of five alphanumeric characters. (Bru1 and bru4097 are not permitted). Changing the trap community is optional by clicking the check box. NoteEditing Community Strings The community change dialog box is available from the Configuration > Security tab. Both read-write and read-only communities must be defined. On entering for the first time, use netman as the current community. The community string must be changed when entering the system for the first time, and the community string netman cannot be used again. Æ To change a community: 1. From the Configuration dialog box, select the Security tab 2. Type the current read-write community (default is netman). 3. Select the communities to be changed by clicking the check box. 4.

Chapter 5 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual 5.7 Frequently Asked Questions Q: What performance issues will arise due to environmental conditions? A: WinLink1000 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 WinLink1000, what is the potential for interference between our system and other cellular or wireless Networks devices? A: The WinLink1000 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 WinLink1000 link uses unique user configurable SSID code. Q: What protocol does the WinLink1000 use, i.e. 802.11? A: WinLink1000 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 WinLink1000? A: WinLink1000 has three levels of security: 1. AES 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 WinLink1000 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? 5-18 Frequently Asked Questions
WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 5 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting A: Currently the system provides fixed channels, with one manual frequency setting.

Appendix C 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). Overview
Link Budget Calculator WinLink1000 Installtion and Operation Manual Figure C-1. Accessing the Link Budget Manager Calculator C.2 Using the Link Budget Calculator The Link Budget Calculator comprises of one table where all the link parameters are defined. Using the Link Budget Calculator
WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual Link Budget Calculator Figure C-2. Link Budget Screen Î 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 WinLink1000 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. Using the Link Budget Calculator

Appendix D AIND Antenna Alignment Procedure Use this procedure when using the all indoor system WinLink1000-ANID or manually aligning two WinLink1000 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 WinLink1000 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. Site ASite BAirMuxIDUx IDUx Figure D-1. WinLink1000 Link Setup Expected Signal Level D-1
Appendix D AIND Antenna Alignment Procedure WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual 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 WinLink1000 Manager Software CD-ROM to calculate the expected performance of the WinLink1000 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 WinLink1000-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 WinLink1000-AIND. 3. Turn on the CW transmit signal from site A (from the WinLink1000 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 • When one antenna is moved, the opposite ite is passive s• 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. D-2 Performing WinLink1000-AIND Alignment
WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix D AIND Antenna Alignment Procedure 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 WinLink1000-AIND unit to external antenna. See WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual for details. The operational link is shown in Figure 2-3. 9. Configure WinLink1000 NMS at both sites to operate at the pure channel frequency found in the RF survey. WinLink1000 is now ready for operation. D.3 Configuring the Link 1. Run the Installation Wizard in the WinLink1000 Manager Software to set the configuration of the link. Configure the link in accordance with the parameters calculated in the Link Budget Calculator. 2. WinLink1000 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 WinLink1000 link is now ready for operation. Configuring the Link D-3
Appendix D AIND Antenna Alignment Procedure WinLink1000 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 WinLink1000 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
WinLink1000 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 WinLink1000-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.

Appendix E 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. WinLink1000 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 50Ω. Table E-1.
