A reinforced steel mounting pole is required, with a diameter measuring from 2-4 inches (recommended). Note that the radio can be mounted on poles from 1.5-12 inches using the provided self-locking bands. Caution:  Do not mount the MultiHaul™ device on a structure that is temporary or easily moved. Doing so may result in poor service or equipment damage.  The MultiHaul™ may be installed directly on a wall using its mounting kit.  You must mount the MultiHaul™ radio in a site that is easily accessible to authorized personnel, and only authorized personnel.  Operating temperature: between -30° and +55°C.   Relative humidity: 0 to 100%.  Maximum altitude: 4,500m. 2.1.2  Cabling Requirements  Install the MultiHaul™ radio where network connections and optional power cabling are ready for operation and easily accessible.  All cabling connected to the radio should be outdoor-grade, with UV protection.  PoE input – Connect Ethernet cable to Eth1  PSE Output (PoE Out) – for models with more than a single Ethernet port. The voltage output at the PSE port is following the voltage at the PoE input port. The total cables length, from the PoE device to the powered device (PD) should not exceed 100 meter (PoE to first radio + first to second radio). Note:  PSE Output available only is directly powered by PoE Injector/Midspan! PSE Output is over 2 pairs. It means you can use the PSE Output to power up other devices or other MultiHaul™ units, however, the MultiHaul™ that was powered by PSE will not be able to power up other devices (no PSE Output).  You should use shielded outdoor Cat5e cables terminated with metallic RJ45 connectors.  In order to protect indoor equipment, you must install surge protection circuits on all copper cables on their entrance to the building.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 20  Install the MultiHaul™ radio in a location where proper electrical outdoor grounding is readily available. Typically, the grounding connection is attached directly to the mounting pole. If not already present, then suitable structure-to-earth grounding connections must be created before installation. Ground the radio using a minimum quantity of 16AWG grounding cable or according to local electrical code. Note:  The MultiHaul™ T201 (cTU) does not require grounding.

MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 33 3.2  Web-Based Management Main Page The Web-Based Management provides link view, presenting both local and remote (or remotes, in case of multiple Terminal Units) configuration and monitoring.  Note:  Depending on your work 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).  Although the local and remote systems IP address are identical (default IP address 192.168.0.1), the remote can be displayed as the MultiHaul™ 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:  When first connecting to a link or cluster with units in their default IP address, you may connect to a different unit, not necessarily the one you are connected to. Assign additional dedicated IP addresses and use it instead of the default one.    The Web-Based Management Main page is a read-only page and displays the following information:  Product – product model (factory).  Name – the configured name of the unit (by default, same as Product).  Physical view – of local and remote units, with interfaces and led status.  Link Status – Link up or down (with visual indication).  Frequency – channel number (2 or 3).  Throughput – for Tx and Rx over the RF interface (in Mbps). Displayed for the last 1-second interval.  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).

The Local-Remote (and multiple remotes in case of multiple Terminal Units) 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(s) 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. 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 reboot. 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 reboots. Save Configuration and Save All Remotes Configuration buttons 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 Note:  To view logs, pop-ups must be enabled and allowed on your Internet Browser.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 35 period, the system automatically reboots 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(s) systems. 3.3.4  Reboot Separate buttons for local and remote reboot. The system will power off and then on 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 All Remote button next to some configuration parameters or sections.

A script is simply a list of CLI commands, saved as a text file that runs locally on the system. Script output is displayed on a script output screen and can be copied and saved. The Scripts section displays the scripts that were loaded to the system. There are useful scripts that are pre-loaded to the system in the factory: 1) clear_statistics – this script clears all the statistics counters of the system, including RF statistics, Ethernet statistics, VLAN statistics and Queue statistics. 2) System_info – this script collects all the relevant system status, logs, configurations and statistics.   Select a script from the list and click Show to view (pop-up screen) list of commands composing this script. Click Run to run the selected script. The commands in the script will be executed one after the other. Pop-up screen will display the progress and outcome of the script. Click Delete to delete the selected script. Enter a file name and click Load Script to load a new script file. Note:  Enabling license components will introduce a momentary service disruption. Note:  Whenever contacting Siklu for support, send the output of this script from all systems for efficient service (copy the output to a text file).
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 55 When clicking Load Script, the system will look for the file at the FTP directory and will store it in the file system as a new script (under directory scripts/). 3.7.3.5  Configuration Management  Figure 3-24 System Page: Maintenance – Configuration Management This section allows configuring the following parameters:  Default Configuration – Click Restore to delete current startup-configuration.txt file. After reboot, the system will come up with the factory default configuration.  Startup Configuration – Click Show to view (pop-up screen) the startup-configuration.txt file. The startup-configuration file lists the commands that build the configuration the system will come up with after reboot. Click Load to load a new startup-configuration file that will replace the current file and will be used after next system reboot. When clicking Load, the system will look for a file named startup-configuration.txt at the home directory and will store it in the file system as the new startup-configuration file. After next reboot, the system will come up with the new configuration.  3.7.4  Event Configuration  Figure 3-25 Network Page: Event Configuration The system supports masking of individual/group alarms and events. In case alarm is masked, it is not displayed in the Active Alarms and Event Log and no trap is sent.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 56  Event  The event/group of events to be configured.  Trap  Checkbox to enable sending SNMP trap for this event.  Alarm  Checkbox to enable raising an alarm for this event (meaning, showing it in the active Alarms list and in the log file). Note that not all events can be configured as Alarms.  Threshold  Some events have configurable thresholds for alarm raise/clear and for sending traps. The threshold hysteresis can be defined (to avoid toggling alarms). 3.8  Network Configuration and Monitoring General parameters regarding communication and network connectivity are managed in the Network page. This chapter includes the following topics:  General Settings  Advanced Settings  Maintenance  Users Administration  LLDP  Authentication (802.1x)
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 57 3.8.1  General Settings   Figure 3-26 Network Page: General This section allows monitoring and configuring the following parameters:  IP Address The system supports up to four IP addresses that can be associated with different VLANs. IP addresses may also be acquired by DHCP. o # - Index (1-4) o Type – Static or DHCP o IP Address – Default is 192.168.0.1 o IP Prefix Length – Default is 24 (equivalent to Mask of 255.255.255.0) o VLAN – 0 (not defined, meaning the IP is not associated with specific VLAN) Click the Trash icon to clear an IP. Note you cannot clear the IP address you used to log in to the system.  Default Gateway When entering the IP of the default gateway, it is translated to a static route (#1). Setting and viewing static routes is available via the Command Line Interface only.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 58 Note that changes to the IP address settings will require reconnecting using the new IP address.  SNMP Managers Up to five managers that will receive SNMP traps can be configured (SNMPv2c or SNMPv3). o # - Index (1-5) o IP Address – Destination IP Address o UDP Port – port number for sending traps o Security Name (community) o SNMP Ver – SNMP version (SNMPv2c or SNMPv3) o Engine ID – Used for SNMPv3  For SNMPv3 configuration, refer to the SNMPv3 Users Configuration section under System Administration chapter of this manual.  NTP   The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of network elements over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. The system has an embedded NTP client. It can synchronize the host clock to any NTP server in the LAN/Internet to deliver accurate and reliable time. Primary and secondary servers can be defi4ned. o Server IP – primary NTP server IP Address o Secondary Server IP – secondary NTP server IP Address o TMZ – time-zone shift in hours (-12 to 14). Note that changing the TMZ value will change the time displayed.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 59 3.8.2  Advanced Settings   Figure 3-27 Network Page: Advanced Settings This section allows monitoring and configuring the following parameters:  Management Access List List of authorized IP addresses (or IP address ranges) that are permitted to access the Host (management). The default configuration allows all IP address to access the Host. o # - Index (1-8) o IP Address  o Prefix-Length – together with the IP address determine IP address range  SNMP Agent SNMP Agent properties (SNMP passwords). o Read Community – default is public. Used for Read access (SNMP Get). o Write Community – default is private. Used for Read/Write access (SNMP Set). o SNMP-Version – SNMPv2c or SNMPv3. Default is v2c.  SNMPv3 Users For SNMPv3 configuration, refer to the SNMPv3 Users Configuration section under System Administration chapter of this manual.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 60  Syslog Server When set, all system's event and alarms will be sent to the Syslog server. Syslog servers listens on Port 514. 3.8.3  Maintenance  Figure 3-28 Network Page: Maintenance This section allows monitoring and configuring the following parameters:  Connectivity Enter target IP address and click Ping or Trace Route to test connectivity. Pop-up screen will display the results.  Iperf Test Built-in Iperf client/server for TCP/UDP test over the link. Configure one side as Server and run it (click Start) and remote end as Client (and enter the server IP address). Note that Iperf test run in parallel to traffic over the link. You may test a cluster of BU and multiple TUs by setting a server on the BU side and independent clients on each TU.  Pop-up screen will display the results. Typical internal Iperf results are 1.4-1.5 Gbps aggregate (total).  Remember that max data-rate per TU is 1Gbps.  ARP Table
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 61 The ARP table is used to map between IP addresses and physical addresses. You can map specific IP address to specific MAC address and create or modify entries in the ARP table. 3.8.4  Users Administration  Figure 3-29 Network Page: Users Administration Internal user management and external Radius or TACACS server are supported.  The Users administration page will be updated based on the selected Authentication Mode. For internal user management (standard user/passwords that are configured in the device), select Local as the Authentication Mode. This section allows monitoring and configuring the following parameters:  Users   The system supports 4 types of users that can be defined locally: o User – Read-only access. Cannot view user names, passwords, and other security settings. o Tech – Read-only access for all configuration settings. Can clear statistics, alarms, and log lists, and run diagnostics. o Super – Read-write access for all configuration settings but user names, passwords, and other security settings. o Admin – Full read-write.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 62 A single default admin user is defined with user name admin and password admin.  Up to 32 different users can be defined with the different typed. Note that only one admin type user can be defined and the user name admin cannot be changed (only the password can be changed).  For Radius/Tacacs configuration, refer to the Radius/Tatacs Configuration section under System Administration chapter of this manual.  Password Strength Minimal password requirements for password strength enforcement. o Password Min Length - minimum password length (0 to 16 characters). Default is 8. o Password Min Difference - minimum password difference between characters (0 to 5). Default is 1. 3.8.5  Authentication (802.1x) IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for port-based Network Access Control. It allows authentication of connected devices with 802.1x server. Once enabled on a TU line port, the radio will block the port unless the device connected to the port (supplicant) sends 802.1x connection requests that can be validate on the 802.1x authentication server.  Figure 3-30 Network Page: Authentication (802.1x)
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 63 802.1x Settings and Status  Enable the port you want to authenticate.  Status: (R/O) Not-controlled (disabled), Controlled-Opened (managed and traffic port is opened, meaning authentication performed successfully). Controlled-Closed (managed and traffic port is closed, meaning authentication not performed or failed). 802.1x Common Settings This information will be sent to the authenticator when 802.1x packets received.  NAS Identifier – Identifier of the authenticator.  NAS IP Address – IP index (1 to 4) to identify the IP address (one of the 4 IP addresses of the radio) the authentication request will use.  Reauth Period – (minutes). Re-authentication period. If other than 0, the radio will perform re-authentication every set number of minutes and will close the port if authentication fails. If value is set to 0, the port will remain open after a successful authentication till the next reboot of the radio. 802.1x Server Up to 2 authentication servers can be defined.  IP Address – of the authentication server.  Port – Port number to be used (default 1812).  Shared Secret – password for the authentication. 3.8.6  LLDP The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a unidirectional neighbor discovery protocol (as per IEEE 802.1AB). LLDP performs periodic transmissions of the system's capabilities to the connected stations. LLDP frames are not forwarded, but are constrained to a single link. The information distributed by the protocol is stored in a topology data base. This information can be retrieved by the user in order to easily resolve the network’s physical topology and its associated stations. LLDP enables the discovery of accurate physical network topologies, meaning which devices are neighbors and through which ports they connect. It enables the radio to discover other network elements that are connected to it, including the discovery of third-party network elements, and enables easier integration of MultiHaul™ links in an LLDP supported networks.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 64  Figure 3-31 Network Page: LLDP (Configuration) LLDP can be configured for each one of the Ethernet ports, including the radio port(s). LLDP information may be sent over VLAN or without VLAN (untagged). To configure LLDP  Port – Eth1-Eth3, Eth-tu1…  Admin – enabling LLDP on the port. Select rx-tx to enable LLDP. Note that you may work with uni-directional LLDP by selecting rx or tx only.   VID – VLAN ID that LLDP messages will be sent on. Default is none (untagged).  IP Index – Lowest, Highest or IP index (1-4). The IP address the system will respond with in the LLDP information reply. Default is Lowest. To monitor LLDP status  Figure 3-32 Network Page: LLDP (Port Status) Note:  By default, LLDP is disabled on the radio port and on all line Ethernet ports). When LLDP is disabled on all ports (including radio ports), LLDP packets will pass transparently over the radio.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 65 Information received from the peer device:  Chassis ID – displays the IP address (network address, typically refer to IP #1) of remote device  Chassis ID Subtype – will be 'network-addr'  Port ID – displays the received MAC address  Port ID Subtype – will be 'mac-addr'  Port Description – The port connected at the peer device  System Name – of peer device  System Description – of peer device  Mng. Address – IP address that peer device reports. As there can be multiple IP addresses, the device reports the IP address according to LLDP Configuration: IP Index configured above.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 66 3.9  Services Configuration and Monitoring The Ethernet services and bridges (VLANs) parameters and monitoring are managed in the Services page. The bridge architecture of the MultiHaul™ radios allows defining 802.1q and 802.1ad services, including adding VLAN, removing VLANs and VLAN translation. Up to 100 bridges can be defined and ports (line ports and radio ports) may be attached to the bridge as customer port (C-VLAN), provider port (S-VLAN) or Provider Bridge port (Q-in-Q). Ports may be added, deleted or edited on specific bridges. Bridge port types:  None – all traffic, regardless of VLANs.   C-VLAN – traffic with single C-VLAN (customer port)  S-VLAN – traffic with single S-VLAN (provider port)  Q-in-Q – traffic with C-VLAN and S-VLAN    Figure 3-33 Services Page: Settings Important notes: 1) Traffic egressing a tagged port (C-VLAN, S-VLAN or Q-in-Q) that came in from a port set to None, the C/S VLAN is added on top of any existing VLAN. 2) Once bridge-port created user can modify its ether-type: C-VLAN/S-VLAN and its pcp-priority (P-bit override). 3) Each bridge-port can participate only in one bridge.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 67 4) Each bridge has separate forwarding-database. 5) Bridge #1 is dedicated for the Host (management) configuration and cannot be deleted. There is no need to define management VLAN on the bridge itself. You do that by adding VLAN on the IP address settings. 3.9.1  Global Settings  Terminal units Isolation – when checked, packets coming from one TU and received by BU will not be transmitted to any other TU, isolation the traffic of each TU from neighboring TUs.   Eth Ports Isolation – when checked, packets coming from one port of the radio will not be transmitted to any other ports of the TU (only towards the radio ports and the management host), isolation the traffic of each Eth port from other Eth ports.  3.9.2  Bridge Models   Default Bridge (Transparent) The default bridge (bridge #1) implements IEEE 802.1d Transparent Bridge. In this mode, all traffic (both tagged and untagged) is transparently forwarded between all ports and over the radio ports. Use the default bridge configuration if you have no intention to restrict management to specific port (aka out-of-band management) or allow specific VLANs on ports.    Out-of-Band Management For cases where you want to restrict management to a specific port without carrying it over the radio. Note:  Enabling “Terminal Units Isolation” or “Eth Ports Isolation” will override bridge configuration.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 68 In this example Bridge #1 will be used for management coming from port eth1and second bridge will be created to carry the traffic of the other ports (transparent bridge between all ports but eth1 and host).    Access Port to Customer Port (PVID) For cases where you want to add C-VLAN to all traffic coming from specific port and carry it to specific radio interface. In this example Bridge #2 will be used to tag all incoming traffic from port eth1 and transmitted with C-VLAN 100 over eth-tu1 radio interface. Bridge #1 will implement transparent bridge on all other ports (transparent bridge between all ports but eth1 and eth-tu1).    Customer Port to Provider Port   For cases where you want to add S-VLAN to traffic coming from specific port with specific C-VLAN and carry it to specific radio interface. In this example Bridge #2 will be used to tag incoming traffic with C-VLAN 100 from port eth1 and transmitted with additional S-VLAN 3000 over eth-tu1 radio interface. Bridge #1 will implement transparent bridge on all other ports (transparent bridge between all ports but eth1 and eth-tu1).
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 69  VLAN Translation   For cases where you want to translate incoming VLAN to another VLAN. In this example Bridge #2 will be used to translate incoming traffic with C-VLAN 100 from port eth1 and transmitted with C-VLAN 200 over port eth2 (and vice-versa). Bridge #1 will implement transparent bridge on all other ports (transparent bridge between all ports but eth1 and eth2).     Terminal Unit Isolation For cases where you would like to separate the traffic of different terminal units using VLANs as services in your network are tagged, per user, with different VLANs. To achieve this goal, a VLAN and a dedicated bridge is configured. Such VLAN will continue to the network and should be terminated/manipulated by customer’s network switches/routers.  In this example management is carried throughout the network over C-VLAN 4000. TUs 1 to 8 will be tagged with VLAN 11 to 18 respectively. End user’s traffic at each TU will remain untagged. On the BU side, Bridge #1 will be used for management coming from port eth1 over C-VLAN 4000 and will egress with this VLAN to all terminal units and the host. A separate bridge (Bridges #2 to 9) will be defined to carry VLANs 11 to 18 to the respective terminal units. The reason separate bridge is defined for each VLAN is to assure separation between traffic coming from different TUs. On the terminal unit side, two bridges will be used. Bridge #1 to carry management over C-VLAN 4000. Bridge #2 will be used to tag all other traffic coming on port eth1 on the relevant C-VLAN (C-VLAN 11 for TU 1, up to C-VLAN 18 to TU 8). Note:  Remember that you can enable “Terminal Units Isolation” (System -> Advanced Settings) to separate (isolate) traffic coming from different terminal units. If enables, “Terminal Units Isolation” overrides any bridge configuration.

MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 71 4  Setup and Monitoring Using the Command Line Interface This chapter explains how to perform basic configuration tasks using the Command Line Interface (CLI).  The CLI provides interface for configuration and monitoring. Includes the entire configuration options of the system.  General format of CLI command: command object <object-id(s)> [attribute-name <attribute-value>] for example: set eth eth1 eth-type 1000FD  show eth all statistics   Typical commands: Set, show, clear, reset, run, copy  General CLI conventions: o Confirmation after each command correctly entered. o Error-message with hint in case of wrong command  o Use Tab for Auto-complete  o Use Up Arrow and Down Arrow to display command history o Use ? for help on possible configuration options and for exact command syntax.  4.1  Establishing a CLI Session with the ODU 1. Launch SSH client. You can use any common, open source SSH client program, such as PuTTY, available for download from the web. Open an SSH session to the system’s IP address. The system’s default IP address is 192.168.0.1.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 72  Figure 4-1 Launching CLI 2. PuTTY configuration (Recommended): a. Go to category: Terminal -> Keyboard Set Backspace key = Control-H Set The function keys and keypad = Linux b. Go to category: Window Set Lines of Scrollback = 100000 c. Save the session and configuration. Give it a name and Click Save. The session will be stored under the Saved Sessions. 3. When prompted, enter the username and password. Default: admin and admin. login as: admin MH, S/N: F626500012, Ver:  MH-1.0.0 20211 admin@192.168.0.1's password: 4.2  General Configuration Commands: Save, Reset, Rollback Whenever you make changes to the ODU configuration, you must save the configuration changes to the startup configuration. If you do not save the configuration, the changes will be lost the next time the system is reset. Use the following command to save configuration changes to the startup configuration: Local_Site> copy running-configuration startup-configuration To reset the system, use the reset system command. You must reset the system whenever you exit Alignment mode. Local_Site> reset system
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 73  Rollback is 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 command is entered. In the event that no command is entered within the timeout period, the system automatically reboots 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. To specify the Rollback timeout period, use the following command: set rollback timeout <duration-in-seconds> 4.3  Configuring and Displaying System Information Using the CLI Use the show system command to display basic information about the ODU. Local_Site>show system  MH-B100-CCS-PoE-MWB>show system system description               : MH-B100-CCS-PoE-MWB system snmpid                    : .1.3.6.1.4.1.31926 system uptime                    : 0000:01:17:44 system contact                   : undefined system name                      : MH-B100-CCS-PoE-MWB system location                  : "" system voltage                   : 45 poe system temperature               : 36 system date                      : 2017.12.06 system time                      : 11:40:12 system cli-timeout               : 15 system loop-permission           : enabled system terminal-units-isolation  : disable system eth-ports-isolation       : disable system unit-mode                 : normal system remote-config          : disable system leds-turn-off             : never   Description – model description (R/O).  SnmpID – SNMP ID for Siklu products (R/O).  Uptime – R/O field. Time elapsed from last power on.  Contact – text string.  Name – text string. Enter a unique name to identify your system.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 74  Location – text string.  Voltage – input voltage and indication DC or PoE (R/O).  Temperature – system temperature in C⁰ (R/O).  Date & Time – Date [YYYY.MM.DD], Time [HH:MM:SS]  Cli-timeout – timeout for auto-logoff.  Loop Permission – control the permission to perform system loopbacks.  Terminal units Isolation (Base Unit only) – when checked, packets coming from one TU and received by BU will not be transmitted to any other TU, isolation the traffic of each TU from neighboring TUs.   Eth Ports Isolation – when checked, packets coming from one port of the radio will not be transmitted to any other ports of the TU (only towards the radio ports and the management host), isolation the traffic of each Eth port from other Eth ports.  Unit Mode – Normal or Low-Power. Use Low-Power for bench testing only, when distance between radios is up to few meters. Default: Normal.  Remote Config (Terminal Unit only) – enable auto-provisioning of TUs by BU. Default: Distabled.   Leds Turn Off Time – when value entered (in minutes), the radio Leds will turn off automatically after the set time (up to 6000 minutes). To turn on the Leds, reboot the radio. If left blank, Leds will not turn off automatically (default).   Use the set system name command to set the ODU’s name. Once you set the ODU’s name, a prompt appears with the name you just set, the date, and the time. Default> set system name Local_Site Local_Site>  To set system date & time, use the following command: Local_Site> set system date 2017.12.13 time 15:08:00  4.4  Configuring System IP Addresses Using the CLI  The MultiHaul™ radio supports up to four IP addresses that can be on different subnets and associated with different VLANs. You can assign a static route to each IP address. The Default IP-Gateway is defined as a static route. By default, one IP address is defined (IP #1):  IP Address – 192.168.0.1  IP network Prefix – 24
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 75  VLAN – 0 (not defined)  Default Gateway – 0.0.0.0 (by default, no route is defined). Use the set ip command to change or add an IP address. The command must be followed by the index number of the IP address you want to add or change. Use the index number 1 to change the default IP address. For example: set ip <ip-index>  ip-addr <value> [prefix-len <value>] [vlan <value>]     <ip-index>             : integer 1..4  Local_Site>set ip 1 ip-addr 192.168.0.11 prefix-len 24  If the IP entry does not already exist, the set ip command creates it and assigns the attributes specified. If the interface address or the default router address is not explicitly specified, the entry is created with the default value that has been defined for the VLAN. If the IP entry already exists, the set ip command replaces the attributes that are currently defined for the entry with the values specified in the command. Up to four IP addresses can be specified on the command line.  A set ip command fails if the route specified is not within the subnet that has been defined by mask. Note:  If you change the default IP address, your connection to the ODU will be lost. To re-establish a connection, launch an Internet browser and connect using the new IP address. To display all of the currently configured IP addresses and their attributes, use the show ip command: For example: Local_Site>show ip  ip 1 ip-addr               : 192.168.0.11 ip 1 prefix-len            : 24 ip 1 vlan                  : 0 ip 1 default-gateway       : 0.0.0.0  To delete IP entries, use the clear ip command: clear ip <index> To create and modify an IP Route and Default Gateway, use the set route command: set route <idx> [dest <ip-address>] [prefix-len 0..32] [next-hop <ip-address>]  idx number 1 to 10
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 76 dest ip address in the form X.X.X.X where X is a decimal number from 0 to 255 (for example, 10.0.15.74). next-hop  ip address in the form X.X.X.X where X is a decimal number from 0 to 255 (for example, 10.0.15.74). All IP addresses in the table must be different. prefix-len ip prefix – a number from 0 to 32 By default, no route is defined. To set a static route, use the following command: Local_Site>set route 1 dest 192.168.0.64 prefix-len 30 next-hop 192.168.0.66 To set a single default gateway, use the following command. When single IP is used and a Static route is not used, you may configure a default IP gateway. In such case, use 0.0.0.0 as the destination network with prefix-len 0. set route 1 dest 0.0.0.0 prefix-len 0 next-hop 192.168.0.254 To display all of the currently configured routes and their attributes, use the show route command: Local_Site>show route ip 1 dest      : 0.0.0.0 ip 1 prefix-len: 0 ip 1 next-hop  : 192.168.0.254  4.5  RF Settings and Provisioning 4.5.1  Base Unit Setup Use the show base-unit command, to display the RF settings of the Base-Unit. Use the set base-unit command, to set the RF settings of the Base-Unit.  Local_Site>show base-unit  base-unit self-mac                  : 00:24:a4:07:48:74 base-unit ssid                      : MultiHaul base-unit password                  : MultiHaul base-unit frequency                 : channel-2 base-unit access-control            : by-name base-unit guest-connection          : enable base-unit max-terminal-units        : 8 base-unit tx-throughput             : 0 base-unit rx-throughput             : 0
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 77   Self-mac – Base Unit’s MAC address  SSID – Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the access point (base-unit). Default: MultiHaul. The BU broadcasts openly its SSID.  Password – base-unit password used for connection. Default: MultiHaul.  Frequency – the channel number (channel2 or 3). Default: channel-2.  Access-control –By-MAC (default) or By-Name. determines if TUs are identified by MAC address or by configured name. Relevant for TU auto-provisioning by BU feature.  Guest-connection – determines if guest (unmanaged) terminals can be associated with the base unit. If guest-connection is enabled, any TU with the correct SSID and password can connect to the BU.  Max-terminal-units – max number of TUs that can be connected to the BU (1 to 8).

MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 80 4.6  Configuring Ethernet Interfaces Using the CLI The MultiHaul™ radio has up to four fixed Ethernet interfaces:  Host – Management interface  Eth1 – ODU interface, port 1  Eth2 – ODU interface, port 2  Eth3 – ODU interface, port 3  On Base Units, RF interfaces are created when remote TUs are connected or set. The Ethernet RF interfaces are named Eth-tu1, Eth-tu2…Eth-tu8.  On a Terminal Unit, RF interfaced is available. The Ethernet RF interface is named Eth-bu1. You can change the default values of the ODU interfaces, and display the port status of a specific interface. 4.6.1  Displaying Interface Status Use the show eth command, followed by the name of the interface, to display the Ethernet port status for a specific interface.  The following is an example of an Ethernet interface (Eth1) status display. Local_Site> show eth eth1  eth eth1 description           : Eth 1 eth eth1 mtu                   : 16384 eth eth1 mac-addr              : 00:24:a4:07:48:71 eth eth1 admin                 : up eth eth1 operational           : up eth eth1 last-change           : 0001:03:04:34 eth eth1 name                  : Eth1 eth eth1 alias                 : eth eth1 eth-type              : 1000fd eth eth1 eth-act-type          : 1000fd eth eth1 auto-neg              : enabled eth eth1 loopback-mode         : disabled eth eth1 loopback-timeout      : 60 eth eth1 connector-type        : rj45   MTU – R/O field to indicate the Maximum Transmission Unit of the port.  Mac-addr – MAC address of the port.  Admin – port enable/disable.

External (towards the line side) or Internal (towards the radio side) loopback are available, with or without MAC addresses swap.  Loopback Timeout – in seconds. Loopback will clear when timeout expires.  Connector-type – RJ45 or SFP based on the physical port. 4.6.2  Configuring Interface Parameters Use the set eth command, followed by the name of the interface to change the default values of an Ethernet interface. For example, use the following command to set Ethernet port 1 to SFP mode: set eth eth1 eth-type 1000xfd
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 82 5  Diagnostics The MultiHaul™ system’s highly reliable and easy-to-use radio link features a wide range of built-in indicators and diagnostic tools designed to enable you to quickly evaluate a link’s performance, identify operating faults, and resolve them. The general diagnostics process for a MultiHaul™ link is to identify whether there is a problem that needs to be addressed, to isolate the root cause of the problem, and to implement the steps that are required to solve the problem. The following is a partial list of events that can cause system problems:  End equipment problems (such as connection or device configuration issues)  External hardware faults  System level configuration issues  Hardware faults that require radio link replacement This chapter describes the MultiHaul™ diagnostics features, and offers basic instructions for how to use these features to isolate and resolve operating faults in the ODUs or in the MultiHaul™ network. The chapter includes the following topics:  Troubleshooting Process  Alarms  Loopbacks  Performance Statistics 5.1  General Troubleshooting Process Follow this step-by-step process whenever you encounter a problem with the link. Step 1: Define the Problem Isolating a problem’s symptoms is the first step in corrective maintenance. It is important to define the problem clearly and fully. Define the problem as either a customer-impact type (for example, loss of element management, or no Ethernet services over the link) or a product-related type (for example, a link is down or an ODU does not power up). Step 2: Check and Gather Relevant Information Examining the link’s status indications will provide both current and historical information regarding the link’s performance and alarms. Indications include ODU LEDs, System Alarms, and System Statistics. Use these indications to further refine the problem and help to assess possible causes, both physical and logical, in the MultiHaul™ system.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 83 Step 3: Isolate the Fault Further isolate and characterize the problem using all available link indications. Ascertain if the problem is related to:  End-equipment configuration or an interconnection  A hardware fault in the link’s accessories (such as a cable)  Configuration settings (this can be verified using the CLI)  A hardware fault in one of the ODUs  A result of larger network propagation problem Note that Loopback indications are especially useful when isolating the fault’s component and network location. Step 4: Correct the Fault Once the fault is isolated, implement the necessary corrective actions until resolution of the problem is confirmed. Whenever possible, it is recommended that you repeat commissioning tests in order to verify that the problem link is now operating correctly. Step 5: Need Support? Contact Siklu for technical support in case assistance is needed. Include detailed description of the issue and what steps were taken trying to solve it. Send the output of the System_info script from all sides (copy its output to a text file) for efficient service. The script collects all the relevant system status, logs, configurations and statistics. 5.2  MultiHaul™ Recommended Troubleshooting Steps This is the recommended flow when dealing with problems reported by customers. Please keep in mind that these steps focus on connectivity issues and do not intend to cover all possible scenarios. Let’s review the possible reasons for customer to call for help. 1.  No service (no Internet connection) 2.  Slow Internet connection 3.  Unstable service/Internet connection (disconnections)  What to check: 1.  TU is connected.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 84 You can ping it or connect to the BU and see that the TU is connected. You should also check on the BU that the YU is connected (show remote-terminal-unit). If TU is not connected, then obviously no service. 2.  If no internet, check that the customer is physically connected to the TU (check the active alarms to see that the port is up and connected). 3.  Check the log file for disconnection events. This might also explain slow internet connection (and often disconnections). The BU log (and also the TU log) records all disconnect events and active alarms. Here is an example of disconnection in the log of the TU: TU>show log Apr 24 13:46:07 cad: link down eth eth-bu1 Apr 24 13:50:50 cad: link up eth eth-bu1 4.  You can monitor the throughput (Tx and Rx, in Mbps) on the BU and TU to see if there is an issue. TU>show terminal-unit terminal-unit self-mac              : 00:24:a4:07:47:14 terminal-unit ssid                  : MultiHaul terminal-unit password              : MultiHaul terminal-unit connection-mode       : auto-connect terminal-unit status                : connected terminal-unit frequency             : channel-2 terminal-unit base-unit mac         : 00:24:a4:07:48:74 terminal-unit tx-mcs                : 7 terminal-unit signal-quality        : 30 terminal-unit tx-throughput         : 0 terminal-unit rx-throughput         : 0 terminal-unit tx-rate-limiter       : 100   5.  You can monitor the Tx-MCS (modulation) and Signal quality. Typically, should be 8 and min 35, respectively. 6.  If issues persist and require an in-depth investigation, you can schedule a maintenance window and run iperf test from the TU to the BU to confirm performance.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 85 5.3  Alarms and Events System alarms can be found on the Main Page, including:  Current Alarms – list of currently active alarms and date+time raised.  History Log – System alarms and events history log   Event Name Description Probable Cause Corrective Actions Reset Cause: "First Time Power On" System power up after power connection 1) Restoring the power 2) Reset caused by power disruption Power restored, no corrective actions needed Reset Cause: "Software Reset" System power up after user-initiated software reset 1) User action: reset system 2) User action: rollback timeout expired 3) User action: SW upgrade Power restored after user action, no corrective actions needed Reset Cause: "Restore to Factory Settings" System power up after user pressed the reset button (for more than 10 seconds), restoring factory defaults 1) User action: reset button pressed for more than 10 seconds causing factory defaults restore Power restored after user action, no corrective actions needed Reset Cause: "HW Watchdog Reset" Internal HW watchdog failure, indicating system fault System failure 1) Deadlock in SW/HW solved by workaround. no corrective actions needed 2) Replace ODU (if persistent).

SFP In SFP inserted to one of the Line Ethernet ports User action: SFP was inserted. User action: No corrective actions needed. SFP Out SFP extracted from one of the Line Ethernet ports User action: SFP was extracted. User action: No corrective actions needed.  5.4  Loopbacks The MultiHaul™ radio uses Ethernet and RF loopbacks designed to enable fault isolation and Ethernet service performance testing.  Line Loopback – Internal loopback is performed on the interface, looping the line egress traffic towards the bridge (radio).  RF (Radio) Loopback – Internal loopback is performed on the bridge’s RF interface, looping RF egress traffic towards the bridge (line output).  Note:  After activating Loopback, it is important to clear all RF and Ethernet statistics in order to receive the most accurate results for analysis.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 87 Use system alarms as well as statistic displays to determine if Loopback testing has passed or failed. Loopbacks can be applied with a timeout (up to 24 hours). When timeout expires, the loopback will be removed. 5.4.1  Loopback Diagram   Figure 5-1 Loopbacks Diagram Internal user management and external Radius or TACACS server are supported.  5.4.2  Ethernet Line Loopbacks The loopback can be applied separately for each one of the line interfaces (Eth1 to Eth3) with MAC Address swapping. Set the loopback mode for the desired Ethernet port and set the loopback-timeout in seconds (default 60 seconds, up to 24 hours, 0= no timeout). Ethernet loopbacks can be set in the Maintenance section of the Eth Ports page.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 88  Figure 5-2 Ethernet Line Loopback Internal Line Loopback An Internal loop returns the traffic to be transmitted out of the line port to the bridge. From the bridge the traffic is transmitted over the radio. Connect the Ethernet traffic from the Customer’s end-equipment or Ethernet analyzer to the local radio and apply line loopback on remote radio for end-to-end testing. This will allow you to test the connection (cable/fiber) to the local radio, the interface between end-equipment and the local system, both local and remote systems and the radio transmission. 5.4.3  Radio Loopbacks The loopback can be applied separately for each one of the radio interfaces (on a TU – one radio interface towards the BU, on a BU – up to 8 radio interfaces towards each on the TUs) with MAC Address swapping. Set the loopback mode for the desired radio interface and set the loopback-timeout in seconds (default 60 seconds, up to 24 hours, 0= no timeout). Radio loopbacks can be set in the Maintenance section of the Radio page.  Figure 5-3 Radio Loopback Internal Radio Loopback An Internal loop returns the traffic to be transmitted out of the radio port to the bridge. From the bridge the traffic is transmitted to the line interfaces.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Page 89 Connect the Ethernet traffic from the Customer’s end-equipment or Ethernet analyzer to the local radio and apply radio loopback on local radio for local testing. This will allow you to test the connection (cable/fiber) to the local radio, the interface between end-equipment and the local system and the local radio. 5.5  Statistics The performance statistics tab is available on each page and gathered on the Statistics page.  5.5.1  Ethernet Statistics Ethernet statistics are presented per port (line interface and radio interface).
