1.1.3 Lightning Protection
WARNING: This user manual provides notes are general recommendations for the
system. The wireless equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer
who is knowledgeable of and follows local and national codes for electrical grounding
and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use of non-standard practices
and procedures could result in personal injury and damage to equipment.
All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or
induced current from a near strike. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage
even if these guidelines are followed. Lightning protection and grounding practices in
local and national electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, Service
outages, and serious injury. Reasons for lightning damage are summarized as:
- Poorly grounded antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into
equipment.
- Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment can cause equipment
failures from lightning induced currents.
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth
without passing through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system
does not prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for preventing damage to
equipment by providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely
to ground. Improperly grounded connections are also a source of noise that can cause
sensitive equipment to malfunction.
A good grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a lightning strike
away from the building and equipment. The remaining energy on the Ethernet cable
shield and conductors can be directed safely to ground by installing a lightning arrestor
in series with the cable.
If you have determined that it is appropriate to install lightning protection for your system,
the following general industry practices are provided as a guideline only:
1. The AC wall outlet ground for the indoor POE adapter should be connected to the
building grounding system.
2. Install a lightning arrestor in series with the Ethernet cable at the point of entry to the
building. The grounding wire should be connected to the same termination point
used for the tower or mast.
3. Provide direct grounding connections from the RDL-3000, the mounting bracket, the
antenna, and the Ethernet cable surge protection to the common building ground
bus. Use the grounding screws provided for terminating the ground wires.
1.1.4 Service & Warranty Information
1. Refer all repairs to qualified Service personnel. Do not remove the covers or modify
any part of this device, as this action will void the warranty.
2. Locate the serial numbers and record these for future reference. Use the space
below to affix serial number stickers. Also, record the MAC address identified on the
unit product label.

2 System Features
2.1 General Description
The RDL-3000 system is manufactured by Redline Communications -- a world leader in
design and production of Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) systems.
Fig. 1: Intro - RDL-3000 System Components
RDL-3000 is a high-performance, high-speed wireless Ethernet bridge. The system
operates in the 4.9 - 5.8 GHz band using two time division duplexing (TDD) RF
transceivers to transmit and receive on the same. Main features include advanced
technologies to address inter-cell interference and enhanced security features that
provide over-the-air encryption.
The RDL-3000 outdoor unit is housed in a weatherproof aluminum alloy case. An indoor
PoE power adapter provides operational power for the RDL-3000 and connection to the
Ethernet network. The outdoor unit can be used with a selection of antennas.
One RDL-3000 must be configured as a Sector Controller (PMP SC) to control all RF
transmissions in a sector that may contain many subscribers. The Sector Controller uses
a scheduled request/grant mechanism to arbitrate bandwidth requests from the remote
unit PMP subscribers to provide non contention-based traffic with predictable
transmission characteristics. One or more RDL-3000 units may be configured as
subscriber units (PMP SS) controlled by the Sector Controller.
Chapter 2

Note: PMP and PTP modes of operation are controlled by options keys. Refer to these
sections of the manual for additional details.
2.2 Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port (female RJ-45 connector) receives DC power and exchanges data
with the local network. The Ethernet port connects to the PoE Adapter using a
weatherproof CAT-5e Ethernet cable. The maximum total length of the Ethernet cable is
100 m (328 ft). For example, 98 m from the RDL-3000 to the PoE and 2 m from the PoE
to the local network equipment.
Fig. 2: Intro - RDL-3000 - Ethernet and Sync Ports (Bottom View of Radio)
2.3 Synchronization I/O Port (PPS)
The PPS port (TNC / F) connector. The function of this port is determined by the
software configurable settings. A protective weatherproof plastic cap is installed on this
port for all new units. This port must be weatherproofed when a synchronization cable
and/or BNC Tee connector is installed.
Note: The RDL-3000 synchronization feature must be used to minimize inter-sector RF
interference at any site where two or more base stations are deployed. This feature
synchronizes the transmit and receive cycles of collocated RDL-3000 base stations to
minimize inter-sector interference. Up to four collocated base stations may be controlled
using the synchronization cables. A GPS receiver is required at each site when the site
is part of a network of geographically collocated cells.
2.4 GPS Antenna Port (GPS ANTENNA)
The GPS antenna port (TNC / F) is available only on RDL-3000 units factory-equipped
with GPS hardware. This port receives signals from a GPS antenna. A protective
weatherproof plastic cap is installed on this port for all new units. The GPS antenna port
must be weatherproofed when a GPS antenna cable is installed.
2.5 RF Ports
The two RF ports are female N-type connectors. The ports conduct RF signals between
the RDL-3000 and the antenna system (ordered separately). Short coaxial cable(s) are
provided to connect the transceiver to an external antenna. The RDL-3000 can be
operated using a SISO (single antenna) or MIMO (multiple antenna_ system.

Note: For SISO mode, the antenna can be connected to either RF port. Select the
antenna port using the Web interface (Configuration->Wireless->Radio Mode). The
unused RF port must be sealed and weatherproofed.
Two RF jumper cables are provided with each mounting kit. The RF cables conduct RF
signals between the RDL-2000 and antenna system. Each 75 cm (29.5 in) cable is
terminated female N-type to TNC.
Fig. 4: Intro - RDL-3000 - RF Jumper Cables
2.6 Ground Lug
A ground-lug is provided on the RDL-3000 chassis. Use this connection to terminate
a grounding wire. All RDL-3000 systems must be properly grounded to protect against
power surges and accumulated static electricity.
2.7 Audible Alignment
When enabled, the audible alignment signal chirps slowly when a low signal level is
detected, and faster for stronger signals. To enable or disable the audible tool through
the user interface:

3 Functional Overview
Operation in PMP mode is controlled by the options keys. When a PMP-only options key
is activated, the RDL-3000 operation is restricted to the number of purchased subscriber
connections. This mode is not equivalent to operating the RDL-3000 in PTP mode with
multiple remote units. Enter PMP-only options keys before deploying and configuring the
RDL-3000 units.
The GUI and Telnet functions are identical for PMP and PTP operation. It is required to
configure one unit as the master (PMP SC) and all remote units as subscribers (PMP
SS). A separate range of RF power settings are provided for PMP operation. The
graphical user interface (GUI) and Telnet functions are identical for both PTP and PMP
operation. The RDL-3000 can also be configured and monitored using SNMP
(documentation provided separately).
Note: Refer to the RDL-3000 installation Guidelines for additional information about
installing and operating the RDL-3000 in PMP mode.

Services
Services are used to classify and process ingress and egress packets on the subscriber
Ethernet port, and to set wireless uplink and downlink rates for unicast traffic to/from the
host subscriber. Service settings include VLAN ID (tag), default priority, parent Link, and
parent Service Group. See 3.2.3: Setting Wireless Rates on page 27 for wireless rate
settings.
Fig. 10: PMP - Services (Subscriber)
If the Ethernet port ingress packet has a VLAN tag and the VID matches a Service
Group, the VLAN tag is removed (Q-in-Q) and the packet is forwarded over the wireless
interface.
Packets received over the wireless link are processed by the Service associated with the
originating parent Service Group. If the VLAN Tagging mode is 'tagged', a VLAN tag with
the Service VID is added to the packet (Q-in-Q), and the packet is forwarded over the
subscriber Ethernet port.
Note: At least one Service Group (sector controller) and one Service (subscriber) must
be defined before Ethernet traffic can be exchanged over the wireless interface.
RDL-3000 User Manual
70-00158-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 26 of 142 November 25, 2010
Service Groups
Service Groups classify and process ingress and egress packets on the sector controller
Ethernet port, and to set wireless broadcast and multicast rates for Service Group
members (broadcast group). Service Group settings include VLAN ID (tag), default
priority, and broadcast rates. See 3.2.3: Setting Wireless Rates on page 27 for wireless
rate settings.
Fig. 11: PMP - Service Groups (Sector Controller)
If the Ethernet port ingress packet has a VLAN tag and the VID matches a Service
Group, the VLAN tag is removed (Q-in-Q) and the packet is forwarded over the wireless
interface. Unicast packets addressed to a Service Group member are forwarded only to
that host subscriber. Broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast packets are forwarded
to all Service Group members.
Packets received over the wireless link are processed by the parent Service Group of
the originating Service. If the VLAN tagging mode is 'tagged', a VLAN tag with the
Service Group VID is added to the packet (Q-in-Q), and the packet is forwarded over the
Ethernet port.
Note: At least one Service Group (sector controller) and one Service (subscriber) must
be defined before Ethernet traffic can be exchanged over the wireless interface.

3.2.4 Pass through Mode
Pass through mode is used to process traffic that is untagged or where the VLAN tag
does not match the VID of any Service or Service Group. Ingress and egress packets
processed by a Service Group or Service set to 'Pass through' mode are forwarded
without modification.
Pass through mode can be used to:
Transparently forward all unclassified traffic between two ports (both ports are 'Pass
though' mode).
Add or remove the outermost VLAN tag (Q-in-Q), depending on the direction of the
traffic (only one port is using 'Pass though' mode).
Fig. 13: PMP - Pass through Mode
Notes:
1. Only one Service Group (sector controller) may be set to 'Pass though' mode.
2. Only one Service on a subscriber may be set to 'Pass though' mode.

3.2.5 Subscriber-to-Subscriber Traffic
SS to SS traffic is any packet received on a subscriber Ethernet port that is addressed to
a host on another subscriber in the same sector. Unicast traffic is forwarded to the sector
controller and then retransmitted (unmodified) over the wireless interface to the
destination subscriber. Broadcast and multicast traffic is forwarded to the sector
controller and processed by the parent Service Group of the originating Service.

3.2.6 VLAN Tagged Management
When Management VLAN Tagging is enabled, the management VID must be
specified. When this feature is enabled, the RDL-3000 recognizes only management
commands with this VID.
For management using the local Ethernet port, it is not required to create a Service
Group (sector controller) or Service (subscriber). When Management VLAN Tagging is
enabled, the VLAN tags on ingress packets are checked before the packets are
submitted for classification to a Service Group or Service.
Over-the-air management on PMP systems is possible only after creating a Service
Group to classify the management traffic and a member Service for each participating
subscriber. The Service Group and member Services should all specify the same VID.
Select CIR and priority values that ensure adequate bandwidth and priority for
management traffic during normal system operation. For network security, over the air
management is only available from the sector controller.
For initial installation and setup, it is recommended to use Pass through mode for the
management Service Group and member Services.
Fig. 15: PMP - VLAN Tagged Management
Note: If the Management VLAN Tagging feature is to be used, it is strongly
recommended to create and test VLAN connectivity before enabling VLAN Management.
If any connectivity issue exists with VLAN services, the RDL-3000 unit management
functions will be unreachable and a site visit and/or long reset operation may be required
to recover control of the unit.

the RDL-3000 design.
VLAN Services
Default Groups and Services
Fig. 16 displays an example of VLAN usage where all traffic not classified to the Voice'
Group is classified to the Data Group. The 'Voice' Group and Services are configured for
tagged traffic, and the Data Group and Connections are configured for pass-through
mode.
Note: This configuration does not enforce a Service Group to have a Service on every
subscriber, or be enabled to the sector controller Ethernet port.

VLAN Mapping
Fig. 17 displays an example of the RDL-3000 VLAN mapping feature. Similar to Label
Switch Router (LSR) in Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS), the RDL-3000 PMP
system can map (change) the VLAN tag based on the ingress and egress port. The
VLAN tagging can be specified separately for each Service Group (sector controller port)
and Service (subscriber port).
In this example, the VLAN tag for Service Group 'Voice', and Services 'Voice A' and
'Voice B' are set to VID=3, and the VLAN tag for 'Voice C' is set to VID=777.
Ingress packets with VID=3 received on the sector controller Ethernet port are classified
to the 'Voice Group'. These packets are forwarded over the wireless interface to
members of this Service Group (based on packet destination address). Packets
addressed to subscriber A or B will be tagged with VID=3, while packets addressed to
subscriber C will be tagged with VID=777.
Fig. 17: PMP - Operation - VLAN Services - VLAN Mapping
Ingress broadcast and multicast traffic with VID=3 arriving at the sector controller
Ethernet port is classified to the 'Voice' Services Group (VID=3), and be forwarded over
the wireless interface to all group members, and will exit the Ethernet port on Subscriber
A and B tagged with VID=3, and Subscriber C tagged with VID=777.
RDL-3000 User Manual
70-00158-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 33 of 142 November 25, 2010
Strict VLAN Tagging
Fig. 18 displays an example of VLAN usage where only tagged traffic is allowed to pass
through the system. If a Subscriber port has no pass-through connection, or the Sector

TLS (Transparent LAN Services)
Extended TLS and Double Tagging
Fig. 19 displays an extension of this configuration in which the TLS is extended via the
Sector Controller and over the backbone to other locations. In order to keep the TLS
traffic separate from the rest of the network, the Sector Controller port for the TLS Group
is configured 'tagged' by a user-specified VID referred to in this example as TLS VID.
This solution allows unmodified traffic to be exchanged between Network B, Network C,
and a remotely located network called TLS Network. If Subscriber B receives a tagged
Ethernet packet from Network B, or Subscriber C receives a tagged Ethernet packet
from Network C, the packet will exit the Sector Controller port double-tagged (Q-in-Q).
When the Sector Controller receives a double-tagged packet from the TLS network that
is classified into the TLS Group, the outer tag is removed before the packet is forwarded
to Network B or C.

Tagged Traffic
Using a Designated Management Group
Fig. 20 describes a system management scenario where management traffic is tagged
at the Sector Controller as well as the Subscribers. The system will map (change) the
VLAN tags depending on the ingress and egress ports.

Port-by-Port Tagging
Fig. 21 displays an example of port-based tagging in which all Subscriber ports are
untagged and the Sector Controller port traffic is tagged based-on the source or
destination subscriber. For every tag at the Sector Controller, a distinct group is defined
and each group has exactly one connection on the required link (Subscriber port).
Note that the tagged port is not necessarily the Sector Controller port, and may be one
of the Subscriber ports. Note also in Fig. 21 that tagged traffic entering one of the
Subscribers exits the Sector Controller port double-tagged.

3.3 PTP Mode
Operation in PTP mode is controlled by the options keys. Enter PTP-only options keys
before deploying and configuring the RDL-3000 units. When a PTP-only options key is
activated, the RDL-3000 operation is restricted to a single point-to-point connection. A
separate range of RF power settings are provided for PTP operation.
The GUI and Telnet functions are identical for PTP and PMP operation. It is required to
configure one unit as the controller (PMP SC) and one unit as a remote (PMP SS). The
graphical user interface (GUI) and Telnet functions are identical for both PTP and PMP
operation.
Note: Refer to the RDL-3000 installation Guidelines for additional information about
installing and operating the RDL-3000 in PTP mode.

Important Notes:
1. The system must be properly grounded to protect against power surges and
accumulated static electricity.
2. When configuring the RDL-3000 in sector controller mode (PMP SC), the RF ports
must be properly terminated to a dummy RF load, or the radio must be disabled
(Radio Enable = Off).
3. This diagram does not illustrate the lightning protection required for outdoors
installation of the RDL-3000 equipment.

Fig. 44: Web - Wireless Configuration Screen -- Sector Controller
Basic Wireless Configuration
System Mode: The system designated as sector controller establishes and manages
the bi-directional data link with a remote end RDL-3000. Only one system in a wireless
link must be set for Sector Controller mode (PMP SC).
PMP SC: RDL-3000 automatically sends poll messages to locate and register
remote RDL-3000 subscribers, and negotiates operating settings for the link.
PMP SS: RDL-3000 monitors the selected channel(s) until polled by the PMP Sector
Controller.
Channel Width [MHz]: Select the channel bandwidth. The options key controls channel
availability.
RDL-3000 User Manual
70-00158-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 67 of 142 November 25, 2010
RF Freq. [MHz]: Enter the center frequency for the RF channel.
The options key controls channel availability. Use the Auto scan feature to enable
subscribers to scan multiple channels.
Important: To minimize interference between RDL-3000 links operating in close
proximity, RF frequency settings should be separated by a guard interval equal or
greater than the channel size. For example, when using a 20 MHz channel, the RF
frequencies should be separated by >20 MHz.
Fig. 45: Web - Wireless Configuration Screen -- Subscriber
Auto scan: (Subscriber Only) Check this box to enable the subscriber to
automatically scan available channels to locate and register with an RDL-3000 PMP
Master. When Auto scan is not enabled, the wireless link can be established only at the
frequency specified in the RF Freq. [MHz] field.
By default, the subscriber will scan the entire frequency band enabled by the options key
(see section 8.3: Regional Codes on page 138). To reduce the scanning/connection
time, the operator may specify a subset of frequency ranges to scan. Click on the main
menu item Configuration -> Frequencies to display the Frequency Management
screen.
Tx Power [dBm]: Enter the transmit power level (dBm). This setting is for the
transceiver output only. The actual EIRP depends on the gain of the connected antenna.
See the following tables to determine the maximum transmit power level available at
each modulation setting. When DFS is enabled, the subscriber Tx power may be
adjusted automatically to avoid falsely triggering the DFS feature.

Important: EIRP Levels: Where required by local regulations, the maximum
operational power per channel for a specific antenna must not exceed the maximum
allowable EIRP levels. See the FCC and CE notices in this manual. The RF output
power settings must be professionally programmed by the manufacturer or a trained
professional installer.
Advanced Wireless Configuration
Max. Distance [km]: (SC only) Enter the distance to the subscriber located farthest
away from the sector controller (outer boundary of sector).
DFS Action: (SC only) Select the mode of operation for DFS.
The PMP SC monitors for interference from radar devices and other equipment using
the same channel frequency. When interference is detected, the PMP SC automatically
takes the selected action:
None: The DFS function is disabled. Where DFS is required by regional regulations,
this feature is permanently enabled at the factory and can not be disabled by the
installer or end-user.
Tx Off: When radar signals are detected the transmitter is switched off for 30
minutes. This action is recorded in the message log and an SNMP trap message is
sent (if SNMP enabled). Following an interval of thirty minutes, the same channel is
monitored for one minute and if there are no DFS triggering events, the system
resumes normal operation. If DFS trigger conditions are still detected, operation is
suspended for an additional thirty minute period.
Chg Freq: When radar signals are detected the transmitter is switched to a different
frequency. This action is logged and a trap message is sent (if enabled). A new
channel is selected based on allowable frequencies for the regulatory region set by
the active options key. Each selected channel is monitored for one minute, and if
DFS triggering events are detected, the next available channel is selected. The
system is not allowed to return to a channel on which DFS trigger events were
detected for a period of thirty minutes. If DFS trigger events are detected on all
channels, operation is suspended until the time expires for at least one channel.
Antenna Gain: Enter the antenna gain specified by the manufacturer. This field is
required for DFS-enabled systems.
It is important to enter the correct value. If this value is set higher than the true gain, the
sensitivity is too low and the RDL-3000 will not be operating in compliance with the
UK/ETSI standard. If this value is set lower than the true gain, the RDL-3000 is more
sensitive to interference and may experience false triggers.
Antenna Alignment Buzzer Enable: (SS only) Audible antenna alignment tool.
Disabled ( ): The antenna alignment tool is disabled (no tone).
Enabled ( ): The antenna alignment audible tone generator is active. The rate of the
tone increases when a stronger signal is detected.
Registration Period [frames]: (SC only) The polling period for detecting new
subscribers. This period is based on the number of wireless frames transmitted.
Permitted values are 1 to 100 frames (recommended frame period: 4).
Scheduling Cycle: Enter the duration of the traffic scheduling period (e.g., 5 ms). This
setting affects the volume (and latency) of traffic transmitted over the wireless interface
during each cycle.
Longer scheduling cycles can provide more efficient packet processing.
Shorter scheduling cycles can provide lower latency:
RDL-3000 User Manual
70-00158-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 69 of 142 November 25, 2010
DL latency: Avg. 0.5/ Max. 2 * Scheduling Cycle
UL latency: Avg. 0.5/ Max. 3 * Scheduling Cycle
Note: The effects of changes to the scheduling cycle will vary based aggregate traffic
composition (packet rate, packet size, etc).
Fixed Frame: Select the wireless frame mode.
Disabled ( ): RDL-3000 adjusts the wireless frame size dynamically based on uplink
and downlink traffic patterns.
Enabled ( ): Wireless frame size is fixed at the value specified in the Frame Size
field. Fixed frame mode must be used when using synchronization (collocated base
stations). The Fixed Frame size and Downlink Ratio must be identical for all
synchronized base stations operating in a geographical area. When fixed frame mode
is enabled, the PIR is limited as follows:
Max PIR = CIR * Scheduling Cycle / Frame Size
Frame Size [ms]: When Fixed Frame mode is selected, the frame size must be
specified (1 to 20 milliseconds).
Downlink Ratio [%]: (SC only) When Fixed Frame mode is selected, the proportion
of each frame reserved for downlink data must be specified (20-80 %).
Synchronization Mode: (SC only) When Fixed Frame mode is selected, the
synchronization mode must be specified.
None: Synchronization is disabled.
Internal: Transmissions are synchronized to the RDL-3000 internal clock. If a GPS
module is installed and synchronized to one or more satellites, transmissions are
synchronized to the module 1 PPS output.
External: Synchronize this unit to a 1 PPS signal received on the PPS port.
Synchronization Output: (SC only) When Fixed Frame mode is selected, the
synchronization output port (PPS) mode must be specified.
Disabled ( ):The PPS port is disabled.
Enabled ( ): The synchronization port output is active. The synchronization output
port (PPS) termination must be specified.
Synchronization Output Termination: (SC only) When the synchronization port
(PPS) output is enabled, the impedance must be specified. When collocated RDL-
3000 units have the PPS ports cabled together for synchronization, only the last RDL-
3000 in the daisy-chain should have the termination set to 50 or 75 ohms (based on
cable type). Refer to the RDL-3000 Installation Guidelines for more information.
None: Port termination is high impedance.
50 Ohms: Port termination impedance is 50 Ohms.
75 Ohms: Port termination impedance is 75 Ohms.
Radio Enable: Select the operational mode for the antenna system.
Off: RF Port 1 and RF port 2 radio transmitters are disabled (no RF output).
RF Port 1: The RF transmitter on RF Port 1 is enabled (RF port 2 is disabled).
RF Port 2: The RF transmitter on RF Port 2 is enabled (RF port 1 is disabled).
RF Port 1 & 2: The RF transmitter is operating in MIMO mode. Transmitting on port 1

Subscriber MAC: Enter the MAC address of the subscriber for this wireless link. The
sector controller will establish a wireless link only with the subscriber having this MAC
address.
For example, when a subscriber unit is replaced (e.g., hardware upgrade), the sector
controller will not establish a wireless link until this field is updated with the MAC address
of the replacement unit.
Advanced Subscriber Link Configuration
Adaptive Modulation: The adaptive modulation feature automatically adjusts
modulation and coding settings to maintain wireless link operation during periods of

transient interference, power variations (fade), and reflections. Adaptive modulation can
be enabled or disabled individually for each Subscriber Link.
When Adaptive modulation is disabled, the modulation and coding are adjusted
automatically to achieve the highest throughput where packet error rates (PER) are
lower than factory-set values. When packet error rates exceed this threshold, the
modulation/code combination is adjusted to maintain the connection at a lower
throughput rate (graceful degradation). The operator must select the maximum and
minimum burst rates for the uplink and downlink.
When Adaptive modulation is disabled, the operator must select only the maximum
uncoded burst rate (UBR) for the uplink and downlink.
Max. DL Burst Rate: Maximum downlink UBR for unicast traffic to this subscriber.
Max. UL Burst Rate: Maximum uplink UBR for unicast traffic from this subscriber.
When Adaptive modulation is enabled, the operator must also select the maximum
uncoded burst rate (UBR) for the uplink and downlink.
Min. DL Burst Rate: (Displayed only when adaptive modulation is enabled) Minimum
downlink UBR for unicast traffic. When the downlink rate falls below this threshold, the
affected rate statistics are displayed in red (Subscriber Links Summary screen) and the
downlink PIR for all Services/Service Groups are reduced proportionally until the
condition clears.
Min UL Burst Rate: (Displayed only when adaptive modulation is enabled) Minimum
uplink UBR for unicast traffic. When the uplink rate falls below this threshold, the
affected rate statistics are displayed in red (Subscriber Links Summary screen) and the
downlink PIR for all Services/Service Groups are reduced proportionally until the
condition clears.
Note: Adjustments to modulation and coding cause temporary changes to the PIR of all
connections on that wireless link. This ensures degradation of the RF signal on any
wireless link does not affect the throughput of other links in the sector.
When adaptive modulation adjusts the uplink or downlink modulation/coding settings of a
wireless link to below the desired minimum burst rate setting, the burst rates are
displayed in red and the
Example: In a link operating at 16 QAM 3/4, transient interference may result in a
temporary change from to 16 QAM 1/2 to maintain the required PER. The RDL-3000
periodically tests transmission at a higher rate and resumes operation at the normal rate
after the interference has cleared.
Downlink PIR: Enter the peak downlink information rate (aggregate downlink traffic for
all Services and Service Groups).
Uplink PIR: Enter the peak uplink information rate (aggregate uplink traffic for all
Services and Service Groups).
Note: Uplink and downlink traffic transmitted over the wireless interface is monitored to
enforce PIR settings (50 - 50000 Kbps). Traffic statistics are reset at the beginning of
each common one-second clock tick. If the maximum throughput is reached on any Link
before the end of the current interval, that Link is excluded from sending additional traffic
until after the next clock tick.
For example, if a Link transmits its full data allocation in the first 650 ms of the current
metering interval, the Link will not receive any additional bandwidth allocation until the
beginning of the next interval (enforced pause of 350 ms).
RDL-3000 User Manual

When adaptive modulation is enabled, automatic adjustments to the modulation/coding
will result in relative changes to the PIR of that wireless link. Incorrect PIR settings may
result in excessive latency or dropped packets (buffer full condition).
DL Burst Rate: Downlink burst rate for unicast traffic. The RDL-3000 will establish a
wireless link only at the specified rate. The communicating wireless unit must also be

Performing a Sweep
1. Prepare the RDL-3000:
For PMP sector controllers, the transmitter is disabled automatically during a sweep.
Note: To run a sweep from a PMP Subscriber location, the sector controller
transmitter must be disabled for the duration of the test.
2. Click Wireless Spectrum Sweep in the main menu. It is recommended to scan
using the smallest available channel with a step size of 1/2 the planned channel
size (e.g., use a 5 MHz step size when scanning for a free 10 MHz channel). For
example:
Start/Stop = 5735 / 5830
Step [MHz] = 5
No. of Acquisitions = 10
3. Click Start button to begin the sweep.
4. Review the results. A channel may be considered 'clear' when free of interference
for at least +/- one-half the channel bandwidth from the desired center frequency.
For example, a 20 MHz channel should have no interference detected for at least
+/- 10 MHz from the candidate channel.
When a potentially clear channel is identified, reduce the frequency range and step
size while increasing the sample size to monitor the channel over a longer period.

4.7.4 Antenna Alignment Screen
Click Utilities -> Antenna Alignment in the main menu to display the Antenna
Alignment Tool screen. This screen is used to assist when aligning the subscriber
antenna.
The most reliable method for obtaining optimum performance from a wireless link is by
fine alignment of the antenna to the position providing the highest RSSI (Received
Signal Strength Indication). This web page assists alignment by providing continuous
updates of the current measured RSSI value.
Fig. 59: Web - Antenna Alignment Tool Screen
If Wi-Fi service is available, you may also be able to access the web alignment page
directly from a laptop computer and most web-enabled handheld devices using the
following URL:
http:// [RDL-3000 IP Address] / usr / aa.html
For example: http:// 192.168.20.25 / usr / aa.html

6 Diagnostics & Troubleshooting
This section provides basic diagnostic and troubleshooting procedures to help solve
problems that may occur with the system. If the system is not operating correctly after
applying the suggestions in this section, please contact your local Redline
representative. Include the model name and serial number of the system in your
communications.
6.1 Interface Connection Issues
Attempt to login to the RDL-3000 using a Web browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer is
recommended. If the RDL-3000 does not respond by displaying the login dialog box,
check that the correct IP address is being used. The value 192.168.25.2 is the factory
default value and may have been changed during installation.
Test is to verify the IP address is reachable from the computer. Use the ping command
to test the Service between the RDL-3000 and host computer.
>ping 192.168.25.2
If the ping test is successful, the host computer was able to send and receive packets
to/from the RDL-3000. The problem may be with the Internet browser or related settings
on the host computer. Reboot the host computer to try to resolve the problem.
If the ping is unsuccessful, there may be problems using that IP address; the IP address
may be incorrect, or there may be a duplicate address. For correct operation the host
computer and the RDL-3000 must be on the same subnet. For example, if the RDL-3000
is using the factory default settings, the host computer could be set for an IP of
192.168.25.3 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
If the correct IP address of the RDL-3000 cannot be determined, it is recommended to
perform a Long Reset operation. refer to section 6.5: Long Reset (Recover from Lost
Password or IP) on page 123. The following table lists some common troubleshooting
tips for the web interface.

Perform a ping test from the host computer command
line. If the ping test is unsuccessful (timeout), then the
problem may be the IP address is not correct. Perform
a long reset to apply the default IP address
(192.168.25.2) and subnet Mask (255.255.255.0)
Problems with host
computer, or RDL-
3000.
If the ping is successful, reset the RDL-3000 and/or
reset the host computer.
Host PC ARP table
is incorrectly
configured
Run 'arp -d' whenever the RDL-3000 is replaced.
Check that the subnet mask for the host PC matches
the subnet mask of the RDL-3000. Verify that the host
and the RDL-3000 are set for the same subnet and
are not using a duplicate or reserved IP address.

6.2 Status Codes
The PMP status code is displayed in a series of hexadecimal characters representing
the status of different alarm conditions. The value '1' indicates the associated condition
is active. All unused bits are set to zero.
To determine the status, the hexadecimal number must be converted to binary notation.
It is recommended to use a scientific calculator that supports binary notation (e.g.,
Windows on-screen calculator). Set the mode for Hex and enter the status code.
Change the mode to binary and match active bits (1) to the PMP Status Codes table.
For example, if 'Radio Over Temperature' bit 1 and 'PLL Error' bit 4 were active, the
status code value would be Hex '12' (binary 1 0010).

6.3 Working with System Parameters
The RDL-3000 is a highly configurable communications device. This section describes
how to view, modify, test, and save parameter settings.
6.3.1 Parameters Overview
The RDL-3000 maintains the following sets of parameters:
Runtime Parameters Currently active system settings. These values are loaded
from 'Saved Parameters' at system reboot.
Editing Copy of Parameters These values are loaded from 'Saved Parameters' at system
reboot. The operator can use the Web or CLI interface to
modify these values. Activate changes by using the 'apply'
function. Save changes permanently by using the 'save'
functions.
Saved Parameters These values are saved in non volatile RAM and are loaded at
reboot. Use the 'save' function to overwrite the last saved
settings with the current contents of the 'Editing Copy of
Parameters'. A separate copy of Saved Parameters is
maintained for each firmware version (Active and Alternative).
Factory Default Parameters Load these settings to restore the RDL-3000 to a known state.
-
Fig. 62: Diag: - Saving Parameters in Non Volatile RAM
TFTP Server The 'Runtime Parameters' can be saved to a file on a TFTP
server. Settings are saved as CLI commands in a text file.
Saved configurations can be loaded directly from a file.
Factory Default Parameters Use this function to restore the RDL-3000 to a known state.
RDL-3000 User Manual
70-00158-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 121 of 142 November 25, 2010
6.3.2 Test Configuration Changes
The operator can use the reboot and apply functions to test changes to the configuration
that may result in loss of the wireless link. Use the following steps to test new setup
values for a five minute period and then restore the last saved configuration.
1. Make all necessary editing changes to the configuration.
2. Issue the command 'reboot 300'. This will set a timer to reboot the RDL-3000 in five
minutes (5 x 60 seconds). A longer or shorter time can also be specified.
3. Issue the 'apply' command to activate all edited changes.
4. If connectivity to the RDL-3000 is lost, wait 5 minutes for the unit to reboot
automatically and restore the previous settings.
5. If the setting are satisfactory, use 'save config' to save these settings and 'reboot 0'
to cancel the timed reboot operation.
6.4 Factory Default Settings
Use the Web interface (click Factory Defaults in main menu) or the CLI interface (save
defaultconfig) to restore the RDL-3000 to a known state.

6.5 Long Reset (Recover from Lost Password or IP)
If the operator can not access the RDL-3000 management interface (forgotten IP,
username, and/or password), a long reset operation must be performed to provide
access the unit. The long reset provides an opportunity to login to the RDL-3000 using
the default IP, usernames and passwords. The long reset procedure requires local
access to the RDL-3000 PoE adapter to power-cycle the RDL-3000, and a PC with an
Ethernet cable and a Telnet client or Web browser.
Fig. 63: Diag. - Recovering Lost IP Address
6.5.1 Long Reset Using Telnet
Use the following steps to gain access to the RDL-3000 management interface. It is
recommended to use a clock display on the PC to ensure accurate timing.
Telnet
1. Power-off the RDL-3000 PoE adapter and remove the local network Ethernet cable.
Use an Ethernet jumper cable to connect the PC directly to the PoE adapter DATA
(INPUT) Ethernet port. Prepare the PC for Telnet access by opening a command
prompt window on the PC and typing the following command (do not press the Enter
key until step 6):
telnet 192.168.25.2
2. Restore power to the RDL-3000 PoE adapter and wait 10 seconds.
3. Power-off the RDL-3000 PoE adapter for 5 seconds.

7 Security
7.1 Overview
The Redline RDL-3000 provides a high level of security and reliability. Security features
include wireless authentication using X.509 certificates, and wireless encryption using
AES encryption. AES encryption is optional and may be purchased separately and
enabled by loading an AES-enabled options key.
7.1.1 Authentication
The RDL-3000 supports the following authentication features:
X.509 certificates for authentication
Challenge-response mechanism during the link establishment
7.1.2 Management Security
The RDL-3000 includes security mechanisms for device management.
TLS 1.0 for HTTPS for secure Web access
SSH v2 for secure command line operation
SNMP v3 with AES support
7.1.3 Data Security
The RDL-3000 includes security mechanisms that provide sender authentication and
security and integrity for data sent over the wireless interface. These features include:
Wireless speed encryption/decryption for data traffic
Messages encrypted and validated using AES in CCM (Counter with Cipher Block
Chaining-Message Authentication Code)
Key derivation with separate keys for data traffic and key transport:
Diffie-Hellman for key establishment
AES Wrap algorithm for key transport
Keys changed at random intervals
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) option is an encryption standard used worldwide
to protect sensitive information. The AES cryptographic cipher uses a block length of
128 bits and key lengths of 128, 192 or 256 bits. As used in the United States, AES is a
Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), specifically, FIPS Publication 197, that
specifies a cryptographic algorithm for use by U.S. Government organizations to protect
sensitive, information. The AES block cipher has been ratified as a standard by National
Institute of Standards and Technology of the United States (NIST).
7.1.4 Physical Security
The Redline RDL-3000 is enclosed in a weatherproof aluminum alloy case. The
module’s enclosure is sealed using tamper-evident labels, which prevent the case
covers from being removed without signs of tampering.
The security of the RDL-3000 system is further increased by the following factors:
Chapter 7
RDL-3000 User Manual
70-00158-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 127 of 142 November 25, 2010
Stream cipher cannot be reverse-engineered -- even by destroying the equipment
Key generation algorithm cannot be reverse-engineered -- even by destroying the
equipment
MAC address of a system cannot be changed without damaging the equipment
Two communicating RDL-3000 systems detecting they have the same MAC address
will immediately shut down
Important Security Guidelines:
1. Store encryption keys and certificate information in a secure location.
2. Always use secure transfer (e.g., SSH or SSL) when working with encryption keys
and certificates.
3. It is recommended to use the RDL-3000 local Ethernet port to transfer encryption
keys and certificates, or sftp if loading certificates or keys across an open network.
7.2 Wireless Authentication
Wireless authentication is a standard feature on all RDL-3000 systems.
7.2.1 Out-of-Box Operation

70-00158-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 129 of 142 November 25, 2010
7.4 SSH for Secure CLI
SSH is a standard feature on all RDL-3000 systems. SSH provides secure access when
using the command line interface (CLI) to manage RDL-3000 equipment. When SSH is
required, TELNET (unsecured access) should be disabled. Use an SSH client (e.g.,
OpenSSH, Putty, etc) to access an RDL-3000 using SSH.
It is recommended that system operators generate a unique certificate and private-public
keys, and load these on the RDL-3000 before using the HTTPS feature in a production
environment.
7.4.1 Out-of-Box Operation
The RDL-3000 provides out-of-box use of the SSH interface. If no user-generated DSA
key has been loaded on the RDL-3000, a temporary key is generated automatically.
Each reboot, a new self-generated key (ssh_key<mac>.pem) is loaded into the user
table. The self-generating key feature is disabled when the user loads a key in the
user (usr) table or creates a key using the CLI 'generate' command.
Note: When using the self-generated key, a warning message may be displayed, based
on the SSH client security settings (e.g., 'Warning: Potential Security Breach. The servers
host key does not match ...'). The operator has full access to the secure CLI interface.
7.4.2 Enable SSH
SSH is disabled by (factory) default. Use the CLI or Web interface to enable SSH:
Web interface: Configuration screen -> Ethernet: SSH Enable
CLI Command: set ssh on
7.4.3 Loading an SSH Key File
Use the following steps to load user-generated X.509 certificate and key files:
1. Use a commercially available tool to create the required key file. The DSA key file
must conform to the following:
Maximum key size is 2048 bits
Key filename must be in the following format:
dsa_key_<mac>.pem
2. Copy the key file to the default directory on a TFTP server.
3. Use the CLI 'load' command to load the SSH DSA key into the user (usr) table. It is
recommended to use the local Ethernet port when transferring encryption keys and
certificates to the RDL-3000.
4. Reboot the RDL-3000 to activate changes.
5. Login to the RDL-3000 and verify the files have been successfully loaded.
Example
Use TFTP server at IP address 192.168.25.10 to load an SSH key file for the RDL-3000 with
MAC address 00 09 02 01 C1 9A.
192.168.25.2# load file 192.168.25.10 dsa_key_00-09-02-01-C1-9A.pem usr tftp
192.168.25.2# show files usr
dsa_key.pem size=672 md5=fa9bd7a1f465fd7e9fed30150b0608c4
192.168.25.2#
192.168.25.2# reboot
RDL-3000 User Manual
70-00158-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 130 of 142 November 25, 2010
7.4.4 SSH Key Generate Utility
Use the Command 'generate sshkey dsa' to create a DSA key and save this file in the
user (usr) table. This key file is persistent through reboots. After executing the generate
command, the RDL-3000 must be rebooted to activate the new key.
Example: Generate a new DSA key file.
192.168.25.2# generate sshkey dsa
192.168.25.2# reboot
7.5 HTTPS/SSL for Secure Web
HTTPS (SSL) is a standard feature on all RDL-3000 systems. HTTPS uses
authentication and encryption to provide secure access over an unsecured network.
When HTTPS is required, HTTP (unsecured access) should be disabled.
7.5.1 Out-of-Box Operation
The RDL-3000 provides out-of-box HTTPS (SSL) using an embedded X.509 certificate.
The embedded certificate is identical for all shipped RDL-3000 equipment and is
intended only to for initial system configuration. Use of the embedded certificate does
not provide a secure solution.
When using the embedded certificate, warning messages may be displayed based on
browser security settings (e.g., 'The security certificate presented was not issued by a trusted
certificate authority. The security certificate presented was issued for a different website address.)
The operator has full access to the secure Web interface.
It is recommended that system operators generate a unique certificate and private-public
keys, and load these on the RDL-3000 before using the HTTPS feature in a production
environment.
7.5.2 Enable HTTPS/SSL
HTTPS is disabled by (factory) default. Use the Web interface or CLI to enable HTTPS:
Web interface: Configuration screen -> Ethernet: HTTPS Enable
Command: set https on
Save the configuration to active changes.
To access the RDL-3000 using HTTPS, the URL entered in the Web browser must
specify 'https' or directly reference port 443.
Example: To access the RDL-3000 when HTTPS is enabled (default IP shown):
https://192.168.25.2/ (Web browser automatically redirects to port 443)
http://192.168.25.2:443/ (Operator specifies port 443)
7.5.3 Loading HTTPS/SSL Certificate and Key Files
Use the following steps to load user-generated X.509 certificate and key files:
1. Use a commercially available tool to create the required certificate and key files.
The X.509 certificate file must conform to the following:
Maximum file size is 1400 bytes
Subject must match the access method (e.g., IP or name)
Filename must be formatted as follows:
ssl_cert_<mac>.pem
The SSL (RSA) key file must conform to the following:
Maximum 2048 bits.
RDL-3000 User Manual
70-00158-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 131 of 142 November 25, 2010
Filename must be formatted as follows:
ssl_key_<mac>.pem
2. Copy the key files to the default directory on a TFTP server.
3. Use the CLI 'load' command to load the RSA key and certificate. It is recommended
to use the local Ethernet port when transferring encryption keys and certificates to
the RDL-3000.
4. Use the command 'show files usr' to verify the files have been successfully loaded.
5. Reboot the RDL-3000 to activate changes to the key files. HTTPS is available when
the system reboot is completed.

Priority Code Point (PCP): 3-bit field IEEE 802.1p priority bits from 0 (lowest) to 7
(highest).
Canonical Format Indicator (CFI): 1-bit field. Value 0 indicates MAC address is in
canonical format (e.g., for Ethernet switches).
VLAN Identifier (VID): 12-bit field specifying the VLAN. Value 0 indicates the frame
does not belong to any VLAN and the 802.1Q tag is specifying only a priority. VLAN
value may be 1 to 4094.
