Choose a site to configure.NoteThe same considerations apply here as were noted in the Installation procedure on page 4-23.
Configuring VLAN Settings Chapter 6RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.5p-4 6-5The Configuration dialog box opens:Figure 6-4: Management Addresses - Site Configuration dialog box5. Choose Management.6. Enter the IP address of the ODU in the IP Address field.7. Enter the Subnet Mask.8. Enter the Default Gateway.9. Enter the Trap Destination. This could be the IP address of the managing computer. The events log will be stored at this address.10.Click Apply to save the changes.Configuring VLAN SettingsVLAN Management enables separation of user traffic from management traffic whenever such separation is required. It is recommended that both sides of the link be configured with different VLAN IDs for management traf-fic.¾To enable VLAN management:1. Click Configuration from the main menu.NoteIf performing configuration from the RADWIN Manager, the IP address is that entered from the login screen.
Configuring VLAN Settings Chapter 6RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.5p-4 6-62. Choose a site to configure. If you are configuring both sites, choose site B first.3. Choose Management.4. Open the VLAN tab.5. Check the Enabled box.6. Enter a VLAN ID. Its value should be between 1 and 4094.After entering the VLAN ID, only packets with the specified VLAN ID are processed for management purposes by the ODU. This includes all the protocols supported by the ODU (ICMP, SNMP, TELNET and NTP). The VLAN priority is used for the traffic sent from the ODU to the managing computer. Using VLAN for management traffic affects all types of man-agement connections (local, network and over the air).7. Enter a Priority number between 0 and 7.8. Change the VLAN ID and Priority of the managing computer NIC to be the same as those of steps 6 and 7 respectively.9. Click Apply or OK.Figure 6-5: Configuring management traffic VLAN SettingsCautionChanging this parameter causes the RADWIN Manager to immediately disconnect.To avoid inconvenience, you should verify the change by setting the VLAN only to one ODU, and only after verifying proper management operation, change the other ODU VLAN setting.
Setting the Date and Time Chapter 6RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.5p-4 6-7Lost or forgotten VLAN IDIf the VLAN ID is forgotten or there is no VLAN traffic connected to the ODU, then reset the relevant ODU.During the first two minutes of connection to the ODU uses management packets both with and without VLAN. You may use this period to reconfigure the VLAN ID and priority.Setting the Date and TimeThe ODU maintains a date and time. The date and time should be synchro-nized with any Network Time Protocol (NTP) version 3 compatible server.During power-up the ODU attempts to configure the initial date and time using an NTP Server. If the server IP address is not configured or is not reachable, a default time is set.When configuring the NTP Server IP address, 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 it to use the date and time from the managing computer. Note that manual setting is not recommended since it will be overridden by a reset, power up, or synchroni-zation with an NTP Server.¾To set the date and time1. Determine the IP address of the NTP server to be used.2. Test it for connectivity using the command (Windows XP), for example:w32tm /stripchart /computer:216.218.192.202You should get a continuous response of times, each a few seconds apart.3. Choose a site to configure.The Configuration dialog box opens.4. Choose Date & Time:NoteThe NTP uses UDP port 123. If a firewall is configured between the ODU and the NTP Server this port must be opened.It can take up to 8 minutes for the NTP to synchronize the ODU date and time.
Setting the Date and Time Chapter 6RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.5p-4 6-8Figure 6-6: Date and Time Configuration5. If entering an IP address for the NTP Server, click Clear, and then enter the new address.6. Set your site Offset value in minutes ahead or behind GMT1.7.

Configuring the Bridge Chapter 6RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.5p-4 6-10Figure 6-9: Bridge Configuration - Site Configuration dialog boxODU ModeThis parameter controls the ODU mode with two optional values, • Hub Mode - in Hub mode the ODU transparently forwards all packets over the wireless link.• Bridge Mode - In Bridge mode the ODU performs both learning and aging, forwarding only relevant packets over the wireless link. The aging time of the ODU is fixed at 300 seconds.IDU Aging timeThis parameter controls the IDU aging time.The aging time parameter controls the time after which each MAC address is dropped from the MAC address learning table.The default value is 300 seconds.NoteChanging these modes requires system reset.Note• Any change to these parameters is effective immediately.• Each side of the link can be configured separately.
Configuring Ethernet Ports Mode Chapter 6RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.5p-4 6-11The following table shows the appropriate configuration for several common scenarios. Both link sites must be configured with the same parameter:Configuring Ethernet Ports ModeThe ODU Ethernet port is configured to auto-detect by default and may not be changed.The ODU Ethernet port mode is configurable for line speed (10/100BaseT) and duplex mode (half or full duplex).An Auto Detect feature is provided, whereby the line speed and duplex mode are detected automatically using auto-negotiation. Use manual con-figuration when attached external equipment does not support auto-negoti-ation. The default setting is Auto Detect.¾To configure the Ethernet Mode:1. From the Configuration menu, choose the site to reconfigure.The Site Configuration dialog box opens.2. Click Advanced | Ethernet.3. In the Ethernet Ports Configuration pane, use the drop-down menu to choose the configuration.Table 6-1: ODU mode configuration for commonScenario ODU ModeIDU Aging TimeStandard (Default) Configuration for Ethernet ApplicationsBridge 300 secRapid network topology changes where fast aging is requiredHub 1 secEthernet Hub Hub N/AEthernet Bridge Bridge N/ACautionYou should not reconfigure the port that is used for the managing computer connection, since a wrong configuration can cause a management disconnection or Ethernet services interruption.

The threshold is measured as a percent-age. The threshold can be set from 0.1% up to 50%.For links with Ethernet only service, 8% threshold is recommended. If there are no problems during the interval, then for that threshold, the recom-mended BBER value should be 0. Since the system provides a lossless Ethernet service, there is throughput degradation in case of interference. The degradation is proportional to the BBER.RSL Threshold RSL Threshold can also be used as an indicator of problems in the radio channel.
