2.1.3 Operational Description
The CPE-O-RS-WS is operated as part of a TVWS Network. The CPE is used to provide connectivity
(Internet Access) to users using Broadband Wireless Access based on WiMAX technology.
The TVWS Network uses the TV White Space spectrum (470-698 MHz) in channels that are not used by
licensed or protected users such as broadcasters and wireless microphones.
The CPEs are wirelessly connected to Base Stations (RNU4000-BTS) that are usually installed in high
places such as tower, water tanks , rooftops, etc. and from the Base Stations the communication is relayed
to the Internet cloud via a gateway/router ( Micronoc, CompactNOC, ASN Gateway, etc.). The CPE is
connected through the Base Stations to the Automatic Frequency Allocation Software (AFAS) in order to
receive the available TVWS channels from the TVWS Data Base. The CPE will only transmit after it is
synchronized to the Base Station on a channel allocated by the TVWS Data Base via the AFAS SW
The CPE uses OFDMA technology in TDD (Time Division Duplexing) mode with adaptive modulation in
order to provide a reliable connectivity, the CPE modulation will change automatically according to the
link budget between the CPE and the Base Station. The available modulation levels are described in Table
2 above.
The CPE will adapt automatically its output power level according to the link budget between the CPE
and the Base Station in order to reduce self-interference. In addition the CPE is GPS synchronized with
the Base Station and other CPE’s in the area connected to the same TVWS Network in such a way that all
CPE’s will transmit and receive at the same time, the GPS synchronization mitigates the self-interference
between the CPE’s in the same network
The CPE can be connected at the customer’s premises via POE to any IP device that needs Internet
connectivity such as Wi-Fi routers, laptop/desktop computers, IP switches, etc.

3.4 CPE-O-RS-WS Registration (in the Data Base) and
Configuration (prior to installation)
3.4.1 CPE Network
The CPE-O-RS-WS shall be used only in a TVWS network with Runcom AFAS Software and RNU-4000TVWS
Base Stations (FCC Identifier: XYMBSTVWS-1) and cannot operate with any other base station.
3.4.2 Registration of the CPE-O-RS-WS in the Data Base (Spectrum Bridge)
Prior the installation of the CPE-O-RS-WS, the professional installer shall register the CPE-O-RS-WS in the
Spectrum Bridge TVWS Data Base. The Registration includes the CPE-O-RS-WS MAC ID, the location Latitude
and Longitude, antenna height, and Base Station ID to where the CPE-O-RS-WS will be connected. All this will
be done using the AFAS (Automatic Frequency Allocation Software).
Runcom Automated Frequency Allocation Software (AFAS) is a SW element that mediates between the TV white
space (TVWS) database and Runcom Base Stations (BTS) and user terminals (CPE), in order to comply with FCC
rules.
The AFAS main tasks are to register the TVWS fixed devices (Base Station and CPE’s) to the TVWS Data Base,
to receive the available channels from the Data Base to each one of the fixed devices registered and to disable the
operation of the fixed devices in a TVWS channel that is no longer available or due to a communication failure
between the AFAS and the Data Base.
The AFAS Software is connected to the CPE through the Wireless Connection between the Base Station and the
CPE.
The CPE registration is done according to the procedure described in paragraph 3.4.4 below
After the registration, if the CPE is allowed by the Data Base to operate in this location, the AFAS will receive
from the TVWS Data Base the list of free channels that can be used in this location, and the operator shall
configure the CPE-O-RS-WS with those channels.
Note- The location and height of the CPE will be obtained by an accurate device ( >95%) such as GPS, or Google
Earth application.
Installation Process: Following the Registration process, the professional installer should proceed to the
physical installation of the CPE at the designated site at the location (Latitude, Longitude and height) registered in
the Data Base. The physical installation should be according to paragraph 3.5 and 3.6 of this Manual
Turn on Process: After the physical installation the CPE-O-RS-WS is turned on and a link is established in
one of the configured TVWS channels (the channel that the Base Station operates in), the management of the CPE-
O-RS-WS will be done over the air by the AFAS software over an IP network.
AFAS connects every T hours (T<= 24 hours) with Spectrum Bridge (SB) TVWS database and retrieves for each of
its related TVWS fixed devices (Base Stations and CPE-O-RS-WS) in its network an updated set of available TVWS
channels.
One of the channels of this set will be selected automatically by AFAS for use in the Base Station (RNU4000-TVWS)
and its related CPEs.
There is no possibility for the Base Station and its related CPEs to operate on any other channel which is not listed
in the last updated set of available TVWS channels.
In case that the CPE available channels will not coincide with the Base Station available channels the AFAS, or in
case the AFAS is disconnected from the Data Base the CPE will turn off its transmitter by the AFAS and the CPE

When changes in a page are finished, the “save settings” button should be pushed before leaving the page.
After all changes in the CPE configuration is done and saved, “reboot system” is required to guarantee proper
operation of the device.
4.2 Accessing CPE via Web Brower
Managing CPE requires access by Web browser from a local port or remote host via WiMAX network, for example,
Internet Explorer in Windows operation systems.
Two options are available to access the CPE by using the LAN interface or via the wireless network if its network IP is
known.
The default IP address for the LAN interface is 192.168.0.1, unless the configuration has been modified.
The IP address for the WAN interface is usually acquired from service provider’s network after CPE connects
to the network.
Two levels of managing CPE are available, Administrator and User.
Administrator’s privilege is designed for service providers to provision a CPE device before selling or leasing
out to end users. By supplying administrator’s user name and password, a technician has access to all
configurations of a CPE device. Default user name for administrator’s privileges is “admin”. Default password
is “admin”.
Users’ privilege is provisioned for end users to make limited changes of configurations for a CPE device. Most
of other configurations are not visible when accessed with normal user’s privileges. Default user name and
password for user is “user”.
4.2.1 Access CPE from LAN Segment
Connect the LAN port of Control Station (a PC) directly to the LAN port of the CPE, or in-indirectly via an Ethernet
hub or switch. By default, the CPE will act as a DHCP server for hosts in the LAN segment unless this feature is
disabled. The Control Station can dynamically acquire an IP address from CPE’s built-in DHCP server.
After IP layer connectivity is established between the Control Station and the CPE, the user may launch a Web browser
and specify http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar. A window will pop up requesting user name and password.
Input user name and password, and then click on the “OK” button. After a successful log on, the welcome page of web
management interface will appear.

4.2.2 Access CPE Device from WAN Segment
Service providers may access the CPE Web management interface remotely, by specifying the CPE wireless IP address
obtained after connecting to the service provider network.
As the wireless IP address is dynamically assigned by the service provider, the support technician may seek end user’s
help to find out the IP address of wireless interface for the CPE located in customer premise. The end user can retrieve
the wireless IP by following the instructions given in WiMAX CPE User Manual.

4.3 CPE LAN Side Network configuration
The CPE can act as “Router” or as “Bridge”. In router mode the CPE has DHCP function to allocate IP address to the
user devices, while in bridge mode the IP allocation is done in the network resources (such as MicroNOC).
Clarification: bridge mode is layer 3 bridge and not layer 2 bridge
To configure the LAN interface select in the menu “Network Configuration”, and “LAN Networking”
Figure 13: LAN Network Configuration
4.3.1 Router / Bridge selection
The selection between router and bridge operation mode is done on the “Operation Mode Configuration” and should be
followed by “apply” immediately.

4.3.2 DHCP
If route mode selected, the CPE can be used as DHCP server by enabling it at “DHCP server configuration”
4.3.3 LAN IP settings
If router mode selected, the LAN IP address should be defined with the subnet mask.
If DHCP enabled, the start IP and end IP address should be defined. The DHCP IPs must be under the subnet range.
Other IPs which are not in the DHCP range, can be used by manually configuration of the devices behind CPE or by
DHCP static lease (configuring static IP for specific device recognized by MAC address).
Lease time define the time which the IP is reserved for a specific MAC identifier after connection loss. In case of CPE
power loss or reboot all reserved IPs are removed from the list.

It is recommended to use Auto in this field. The xNOC is redirecting the request to the appropriate server
as defined in the xNOC.
4.5 LAN access control
The CPE supports additional layer of access control, which help to prevent unappropriated use of the CPE.
If the CPE is operating as bridge mode, it is recommended to use access control of each CPE at the xNOC and
not at the CPE itself.
