EH-600T Installation Manual Page 21  7mm Hex socket driver  Cable ties (for securing network and optional power cables)  Cutter  Cable labeling 2.5 Preparing for Installation The expected receive signal strength should be calculated prior to installing the link for each antenna ODU (read from the DVM) prior to installation, based on the network link budget. Calculating the expected RSSI: Where:  Ptx – ODU’s Tx Power (typically +5dBm)  Gant1 – Gain of antenna 1 (typically 37dBi)  Gant2 – Gain of antenna 2 (typically 37dBi)  LFS – Loss of Free Space = 92.45+20*Log (DKm*FGHz)+ - D - Link distance in Km - F – Frequency in GHz  Attatm – Attenuation due to Atmospheric Gases (dB/Km) For E-band links, the Attenuation due to Atmospheric Gases is typically 0.5dB/Km. For V-band links, the Attenuation due to Atmospheric Gases is significantly higher (up to 15dB/Km) and depends on the specific channel used and the exact geographical location. Refer to EtherHaul Link Budget Calculator for on-line calculation of expected availability and expected RSSI. RSSI = Ptx + Gant1 – LFS – Attatm + Gant2

You must first perform coarse alignment on each ODU, followed by fine alignment. Accurate alignment of the ODU is critical for achieving the strongest possible receive signal. The ODU has three modes of operation:  Alignment – Carrier Wave transmission. Used for antenna alignment.  Adaptive – Operational mode used with adaptive bandwidth, code, and modulation.  Static – Operational mode used with a fixed modulation profile. ODUs are shipped from the factory in Adaptive mode. To perform antenna alignment, the ODUs should be in Adaptive mode. Note: Switch both sides to Alignment mode only in cases where you fail to achieve optimal alignment after considerable tries. Switching the ODU to Alignment mode can be done using the web-based management or by short-press on the push button on Eth3 port, toggling the ODU between Adaptive and Alignment modes (following system reboot). Connect the RJ45 connector of the Alignment RSSI adapter cable for DVM that can be found in the box to Eth3 port to get RSSI reading.
EH-600T Installation Manual Page 28 2.9.1 Performing the Alignment 1. Verify that both ODUs are in Adaptive mode. 2. Verify that the Elevation (1) and Azimuth (5) Lock Bolts are unlocked and positioned at 0 degrees. Coarse Alignment (Azimuth Only) 3. Verify visually that the ODU is pointing to remote site. Optimize the coarse alignment by turning the mounting bracket. Once optimum achieved, fasten the worm-clamp to secure the bracket to the mounting pole. Fine Alignment 4. Read the receive level (RSSI) using the DVM. The voltage reading will be between 0 to 1Vdc, indicating the RSSI in dBms (for example 0.45V=-45dBm). Voltage reading on the RSSI will be available ~1 minute after switching the ODU to Alignment Mode. 5. Perform fine Azimuth and Elevation alignment using the fine adjustment bolts, identifying the main lobe until the expected receive level is achieved (within +/-4dB). Align the ODUs in turns till optimal alignment. 6. Once the optimum position achieved, tighten the azimuth and elevation lock bolts on first ODU. 7. Use the DVM to verify that the received signal level has not degraded during locking. 8. Repeat steps 5-6 on the second ODU. Antenna alignment is now complete. 2.10 Link Up Verification 1. Disconnect the DVM. 2. Reboot both ODUs by disconnect/reconnect the power. 3. Following this action, and after the ODU has finished rebooting, the RF LED color indicator on both ODUs will turn Green, indicating that the radio link is up. The EtherHaul link can now pass traffic and management between the ports and over the radio link. Use the Web-based management or Command Line Interface for radio link configuration and monitoring.
EH-600T Installation Manual Page 29 3 Performing Basic Setup Using the Web-Based Management This chapter describes how to perform basic setup using the web-based management. The scope of this installation manual is basic setup and monitoring of the radio link.  For full configuration and maintenance procedures, refer to the “EtherHaul Operation, Administration and Maintenance Manual”.  The “EtherHaul Operation, Administration and Maintenance Manual” also details the configuration, monitoring and maintenance procedures using the Command Line Interface. This chapter includes the following topics:  Connecting to the ODU using the Web-Based Management  Main Page  General Configuration Commands  Quick Configuration Wizard  Radio Page  Default Bridge Configuration  Applying and Saving Configuration Changes
EH-600T Installation Manual Page 30 3.1 Connecting to the ODU Using the Web-Based Management 1. Launch an Internet Browser and enter https:// followed by the ODU’s IP address. The ODU’s default IP address is 192.168.0.1. Figure 3-1 Launching the Web-Based Management 2. When prompted, enter the username and password. Default: admin and admin. Figure 3-2 Entering Username and Password 3. Once loaded, the Web-Based Management Main page is displayed. Figure 3-3 Web-Based Management Main Page
EH-600T Installation Manual Page 31 3.2 Main Page The Web-Based Management provides link view, presenting both local and remote configuration and monitoring. Although the local and remote systems IP address is identical (default IP address 192.168.0.1), the remote will be available as well as the EtherHaul uses dedicated communication channel for local-remote communication that is not IP-based. It is recommended, however, to assign dedicated IP address for local and remote systems. Note: Depending on your station’s screen size and resolution, you may need to scroll the screen vertically or horizontally in order to view all options for local + remote. Alternatively, you may change the change the Internet’s Browser display distance (Zoom out, using Ctrl+Minus). The Web-Based Management Main page is a read-only page and displays the following information:  Link Status – Link up or down (with visual indication)  Link Length [m] – link calculated distance between the local and remote systems (air distance) based on propagation time.  Tx/Rx frequency [MHz]  RSSI [dBm] – Receiver Signal Strength Indicator. Current receive level.  CINR [dB] – Carrier to Interference + Noise ratio. Indicates the current radio link’s signal quality. In normal conditions, CINR≥19 indicates a good signal quality.  Mode – Current operational mode of the link: o Alignment – Carrier Wave transmission. Used for antenna alignment. No data over the radio link. o Static – Fixed modulation profile. If you select Static, you must select from a list of pre–configured modulation profiles in the Modulation field. o Adaptive – Adaptive Bandwidth, Code, and Modulation. The system will work on the highest modulation profile based on the CINR values of the both sides and will present the current modulation profile.  Estimated Throughput [Mbps] – based on the current modulation profile. o For EH-600T (TDD system) – value is aggregated (Half-Duplex).
EH-600T Installation Manual Page 32  Current Alarms – list of currently active alarms and date&time raised.  History Log – System alarms and events history log.  User Activity Log – All configuration changes are logged, including user and date&time (presented in the form of CLI commands). Note: To view logs, pop-ups must be enabled and allowed on your Internet Browser. 3.3 General Configuration Commands 3.3.1 Apply Any configuration change is executed upon clicking Apply. The Local-Remote concept of the Web-Based Management allows configuring both local and remote systems of the link. The Apply button is available at the bottom of each configuration page (one button for both local and remote systems). When clicking Apply, the configuration changes will be sent to remote system first and then to the local system. If multiple parameters changed on the page before clicking Apply, all parameters are sent in bulk to the system and then executed locally in order to avoid losing management connection. 3.3.2 Save Configuration Any configuration change applied should be saved using the Save Configuration button. Note: Actual Layer 1 throughput depends on product's specs. Refer to the EtherHaul Release Notes for exact specifications.
EH-600T Installation Manual Page 33 The system has two configuration banks: 1. Running Configuration – the currently active configuration. Every time Apply is clicked, the Running Configuration is updated. 2. Startup Configuration – the configuration the system will come up with after the next reset. This configuration may be different than the currently active configuration (Running Configuration). In order to save the applied configuration changes, click Save Configuration so changes will be saved to the startup configuration. If changes are not saved to the startup configuration, they will be lost the next time the system resets. Save Configuration button are available for local and remote systems. 3.3.3 Rollback A safety measure that allows recovering from system configuration changes that caused loss of communication. When Rollback is used, a timer runs (and restarts) whenever a management (or CLI) command is entered. In the event that no command is entered within the timeout period, the system automatically resets and comes up with the saved startup configuration. A Rollback timeout is especially recommended when configuring remote elements that are being managed over the link. Rollback is activated for both local and remote systems. 3.3.4 Reset Separate buttons for local and remote reset. The system will reset and come up after initialization (~120 seconds). Note that any unsaved changes will be lost. 3.3.5 Copy To Remote You can find the Copy To Remote button next to some configuration parameters or sections. This function copies configuration to remote system based on the changes on the local system. Figure 3-4 Copy To-Remote icon
EH-600T Installation Manual Page 34 Matching configuration may be of two types:  Identical configuration – exactly same configuration will be copied from the local to remote system. It can be found for parameters that normally requires identical configuration for both local and remote units. For example, Encryption configuration.  Matching configuration – for parameters that require matching but opposite configuration. For example, transmit frequency where Tx(local)=Rx(remote) and Rx(local)=Tx(remote). 3.4 Quick Configuration Wizard Use the Quick Configuration wizard to configure the basic system parameters. It holds the basic minimal configuration required to start using the link. The Quick Configuration wizard should be used for the initial system setup after installation. For monitoring and advanced configuration, please refer to the dedicated configuration pages of the Web-Based Management. To access the Quick Configuration wizard, go to the Quick Config page. 3.4.1 Quick Configuration: Step 1 – System Figure 3-5 Quick Config Page: Step 1 - System The first section allows configuring the following parameters:  Name – you can give a name for each system  Date – [YYYY.MM.DD]  Time – [HH:MM:SS] Click Next to continue.

Note: It is recommended to disable the Alignment Probe indication after link is installed.
EH-600T Installation Manual Page 41 This section allows configuring the following parameters:  Long Range Mode – checkbox to enable extended range mode:  Normal – links from 0 to 750m  Long – links from 0 to 1000m  ATPC – Automatic Transmit Power Control adjusts transmitter output power of the local system based on the varying signal level at the remote receiver. ATPC allows the transmitter to operate at less than maximum power for most of the time and when fading conditions occur, transmit power will be increased as needed until the maximum configured value is reached. ATPC messages are carried over the radio over radio communication channel. The purpose of ATPC is a) to reduce interference to other radios operation in the same channel/band and to allow better frequency reuse; and b) to reduce transmitter power consumption and prolong system’s components life. ATPC is supplementary to adaptive modulation and works before adaptive modulation changes modulation profiles. Interference avoidance algorithm is implemented in order to overcome the main drawback of use of ATPC: interference from other links that may degrade the radio link performance. Besides setting the Target RSSI, the user can also set the Target CINR that will notify the remote transmitter to increase its Tx power to maintain CINR is above the threshold set. Mode of operation: the local system compares the actual received RSSI to the ATPC Target RSSI. If the difference in values is 2dB or higher (Delta=>2dB), a message to remote transmitter will be sent, asking to change its Tx power. The Tx power can be changed the system's configured Tx power down to the ATPC Min Tx Power that was configured. Configuration options: o Checkbox to enable the ATPC operation. o ATPC Target RSSI – allowed values -35 to -70 dBm (default -35 dBm). o ATPC Min Tx Power – allowed values -35 to 0 dBm (default -35 dBm). o Min CINR – allowed values -128 to 128 dB (default -128 dB).  Encryption – checkbox to enable Encryption and field to enter the static key. The EtherHaul supports 128bit and 256bit AES encryption with Static key. This means that the encryption key (32 characters long for AES 128bit or 64 characters long for AES 256bit) must be inserted manually into both ends of the link. If there is an encryption mismatch, traffic does not go over the link. Encryption is a licensed feature that requires license for operation. Before configuring it, verify that license is available and enable the encryption license component.
EH-600T Installation Manual Page 42  Role – Determines whether the ODU functions as a master or slave. In a link, one side must be set to Master and the other side must be set to Slave (required for link synchronization). Default value is Auto, meaning the role is set automatically by the link. Manually setting the Role is necessary only for asymmetric configurations.  Link ID – unique Tx and Rx Link IDs for links installed on the same site to avoid locking on the wrong transmitter. Link IDs must be identical on both ends for the link to be operational.  ARQ - checkbox to enable the mode and field to view the current status. The ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) is an algorithm that uses selective repeat (retransmission) to eliminate radio BER. The default mode is Enabled. When both sides are enabled and radio link is up, ARQ status will be Established. Disabling the ARQ mode is not recommended as it may result in radio BER.  Lowest Modulation – Lowest modulation profile. When modulation drops below this threshold, radio link will be down. It is used to limit the minimal modulation profile of the link. Default QPSK 1 (lowest available). 3.5.3 Maintenance Figure 3-11 Radio Page: Maintenance This section allows configuring the following parameters:  RF Loopback – checkbox to enable the internal RF loopback, set the timeout for clearing the loopback in seconds and select the modulation the ODU will be tested at. Note that it will take the ODU to stabilize after loopback up to 3 minutes so set the loopback timeout accordingly (recommended 600 seconds). Mute remote transmitter first to avoid interference with the loopback operation. Loopback is done with MAC addresses swap. Refer to the Diagnostics chapter of this manual for detailed description of the system’s loopbacks.
EH-600T Installation Manual Page 43  Mute – checkbox to mute the transmitter with timeout in seconds. When muted, the ODU will not transmit. 3.5.4 Modulation Table Figure 3-12 Radio Page: Modulation Table The modulation table presents the available modulation profiles. The radio can be configured only to one of the profiles available in the table.  CINR Low – Lower threshold for stepping down in modulation profile (Adaptive Mode).  CINR High – Upper threshold for stepping up in modulation profile (Adaptive Mode). Note that different modulation tables may apply according to product used, the frequency channel used and ARQ status. The modulation profiles and thresholds are optimized and should not be modified (can be configured via CLI only after consulting Siklu support). 3.5.5 Spectrum Analyzer Site survey option to allocate free and un-interfered channels. Radio link will go down and the ODU will scan all selected channels (about 1 minute per channel) and display a report of the spectrum scan. Figure 3-13 Radio Page: Spectrum Analyzer
EH-600T Installation Manual Page 44 Recorded values of ~-70dBm should be regarded as free from interference. In this example, 58375 channel is not free from interference and should not be used. 3.5.6 Statistics Radio link’s performance can be monitored using the advanced statistics counters. Refer to the Statistics chapter of the EtherHaul Operation, Administration and Maintenance Manual for detailed description of the system’s statistics. 3.6 Default Bridge Configuration The default system’s configuration is IEEE 802.1d Transparent Bridge. In this mode, all traffic (both tagged and untagged) is transparently forwarded between all ports and over the radio.
