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 openedv
2
.
•
It can take up to 8 minutes for the NTP to synchronize the ODU date
and time.

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 r
ODU 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.

3. Click Apply to save the changes.
Note
It 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.

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. The manual setting provides flexibility of spectrum
selection, including 5.735 MHz.
Q: Can we mange WinLink1000 using SNMPc other than the supplied
management software that comes with the units?
A: Yes. The WinLink1000 is SNMP-based. WinLink1000 can be
managed when using other SNMP software after implementing RADWIN
MIB’s.
Q: Can WinLink1000 be managed and configured via Telnet?
A: No. Use only the WinLink1000 software manager.
Q: Can I use WinLink1000 with any vendor’s external antenna?
A: Yes. RADWIN supplies the WinLink1000 external ODU with an N-
type typical connector. Any vendor’s external antenna that can be
cascaded to our external unit can be used without problem. 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 WinLink1000 cables?
A: The WinLink1000 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 WinLink1000 is full duplex 18
Mbps.
Note
WinLink1000 is a symmetrical system
Q: What is the sensitivity for each rate of the WinLink1000?
A: The rate sensitivities are:

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).

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.

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.

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:

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.

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

.
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.
