General Safety Information The  information  that  follows, together  with local site  regulations,  should  be studied  by  personnel concerned with the operation or maintenance of the equipment, to ensure awareness of potential hazards.  Switch  off supplies  before  removing  covers  or  disconnecting  any  RF  cables,  and  before  inspecting damaged cables or antennas.  Avoid standing in front of high gain antennas (such as a dish) and never look into the open end of a waveguide or cable where strong RF power may be present.  Users  are  strongly  recommended  to  return  any  equipment  that  requires  RF  servicing  to  Silvus Technologies. CAUTION:  This  system  contains  MOS  devices.  Electro-Static  Discharge  (ESD)  precautions  should  be employed to prevent accidental damage. 1.1 Health & Safety Exposure to Non-Ionizing (RF) Radiation/Safe Working Distances  The safe working distance from a transmitting antenna may be calculated from the relationship:  D = √𝑃𝑇 βˆ™ 𝐺𝑅4πœ‹ βˆ™ 𝑀  In which D = safe working distance (meters)  PT = transmitter or combiner power output (watts)  GR = antenna gain ratio = anti log (gain dBi ÷10)  w = power density (watts/square meter)  The RF power density value is determined by reference to safety guidelines for exposure of the human body to non-ionizing radiation. It is important to note that the guidelines adopted differ throughout the world and are from time-to-time re-issued with revised guidelines. For Silvus use, a maximum power density limit of 1w/m² is to be applied when calculating minimum safe working distances.  Important Note: It must be remembered that any transmitting equipment radiating power at frequencies of 100 KHz and higher, has the potential to produce thermal and a-thermal effects upon the human body.  To be safe:  a) Operators should not stand or walk in front of any high gain antenna such as dish antennas, nor should they allow anyone else to do so.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    9 b) Operators should not operate any RF transmitter or power amplifier with any of its covers removed, nor should they allow anyone else to do so.

 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    11 1.2 Maximum RF Power Density Limits The  RF  Radiation  Power  Density  limit  figure  recommended  by  Silvus  is  based  upon  guideline  levels published in:  a. IEEE standard C95.1 1999 - IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.  b. Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-varying Electric, Magnetic & Electromagnetic Fields (up to 300 GHz) published in 1998 by the Secretariat of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).  Both  documents  define  guideline  RF  power  density  limits  for  "Controlled"  and  "Uncontrolled" environments. An uncontrolled environment is defined as one in which the person subjected to the RF radiation may be unaware of and has no control over the radiation energy received. The uncontrolled environment conditions can arise, even in the best regulated operations and for this reason the limits defined for the uncontrolled environment have been assumed for the RF Central recommended limit.  Documents a) and b) also show the RF power density guidelines to be frequency dependent. Different power density / frequency characteristics are presented in the two documents. To avoid complexity and to  avoid areas  of  uncertainty,  Silvus recommends the  use  of  a  single power  density  limit  across the frequency range 100 kHz to 300 GHz. The 1w/m² power density limit we recommend satisfies the most stringent of the guidelines published to date.

Introduction The StreamCaster family of MIMO radios was designed with operator ease of use in mind. Each radio is capable of operating in a multitude of configurations that are accessed via simple web pages within the radio. Settings such as transmit power, frequency, channel bandwidth, link adaptation and range control can be accessed by simply using a web browser to log into any radio within the network. This quick start user guide contains all essential information for the user to configure the StreamCaster radio and to also run an iperf network test.  3. StreamCaster Network Each StreamCaster MIMO radio has a fixed static IP address in the 172.20.xx.yy network. The radio operates as a network switch; the user equipment does not need to be on the same subnet as the radio during operation. It is possible to setup a secondary IP address on the radio if the user finds this feature convenient. Setting up a secondary IP address is useful if the user wishes to access the radio’s web interface in their network.

Web Interface 5.1 Getting Started  Connect a laptop to the StreamCaster radio using the supplied Ethernet cable and turn on the radio. Users can type “ping <IPaddress>” in order to determine whether the radio is fully booted. A web configuration will then be available by typing the radio IP address in a web browser. Please ensure that your laptop is on the same subnet as the radio (172.20.xx.xx by default). Users will be directed to the Basic Configuration page. (See Figure 23)
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    51 5.1.1 Basic Configuration  Figure 23 Basic Configuration Page This page is used to set basic configurations. A brief description of each parameter is given below. • Frequency: This defines the frequency of the signal. There is a drop-down menu for frequency selection. The frequency choices will vary depending on the StreamCaster model(s) you are using.  Please see Section 8 for “Custom Frequency Plan” access and installation instructions. • Bandwidth: This defines the RF bandwidth of the signal.  • Network ID: Network ID allows for clusters of radios to operate in the same channel, but remain independent. A radio with a given Network ID will only communicate with other radios with the same Network ID.  • Link Distance: Set to an approximate maximum distance between any two nodes in meters, e.g., 5000 for 5km (default). It is important to set the link distance to allow enough time for packets to propagate over the air. Failing to set the link distance to an approximate maximum distance  can  result  in  over  the  air  collisions  and  a  degradation  of  performance.  It  is recommended to set the link distance 10-15% greater than the actual maximum distance.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    52 • Total Transmit Power: This defines the total power of the signal (power is divided equally between the radio antenna ports). There is also an option to ‘Enable Max Power’ which will allow the radio to push to the highest TX power it can support. This will be slightly different on each radio. • Wired Backbone Gateway: This setting pertains to wired backbone functionality (See Section 7: Wired Backbone). For normal operation, set Wired Backbone Gateway to ‘Auto’. If multiple radios will be connected to a wired backbone, all radios on the backbone should be set to ‘Auto’.  • Routing Beacons on Ethernet Port: For radios to be able to communicate and transfer data over a wired link, routing information needs to be sent over the wireline. These packets are broadcast packets that are sent even if there is only one radio on the network. If wired backbone is not being utilized, the user can disable these routing beacons to prevent loading their local network with these routing packets. • Apply:  Apply the new values.  Values  will  change  back to the default setting after reboot.   • Save and Apply: Apply the new values and set the new values as the default.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    53 5.1.2 Advanced Configuration  Figure 24 Advanced Configuration Page  This page is used to set the advanced settings. A brief description of each parameter is given below.  MAC Settings:  • Routing Beacon Period: Controls how often routing beacons are sent to other radios. A lower Routing Beacon Period results in faster reaction to topology changes. A lower Routing Beacon Period also adds more overhead to the network which scales with the number of nodes in the network. For larger networks, a larger Routing Beacon Period is recommended. Default value is 100ms.  • Routing Beacon MCS: Select the MCS that routing beacons are sent at. Higher MCS values require less network overhead and may be beneficial for larger networks. The drawback is that the link will break when the Routing Beacon MCS can no longer be supported.  • Fragmentation Threshold:  Allows  user to determine the minimum  over-the-air packet  size in bytes. Smaller packet size can improve performance in high mobility while a larger packet size will allow for more throughput. (1600 bytes default).
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    54 • Maximum Ground Speed: This setting improves performance in high mobility scenarios where the wireless channel may change rapidly. Setting this value to an unnecessarily high value may have an impact as high as 25 percent on overall achievable throughput.  • Burst Time: The burst time determines the maximum amount of time each node is allowed to transmit at once. A larger burst time will provide higher throughput at the cost of higher latency. On the other hand, a smaller burst time will provide less latency at the cost of less throughput. The throughput values shown in Table 18 and  Table 20 assume the minimum burst time.  • RTS Retries: A  node wishing to send  data  initiates the process by sending a request  to  send message (RTS). The destination node replies with a clear to send (CTS) message. Any other node that receives the RTS or CTS message will refrain from sending data for a given time. In larger networks, there is a higher probability of collisions occurring when an RTS is sent out. This field defines  the  number of  retries before  a  packet  is  dropped. A  lower value  will  result  in  faster handoffs in mobile situations.  • MCS: Choose the modulation and coding scheme (MCS). If this is set as AUTO, the radio will dynamically cycle between a subset of the modes depending on the quality of the link. This is the recommended setting for most users and will provide the maximum data rate that the link can support. The EXTENDED AUTO mode includes 64QAM rate modes on top of those included in the AUTO mode. Table 18 and  Table 20 below show the estimated UDP data rate and sensitivity for each MCS. This table assumes a 20MHz bandwidth, 1000 meter link distance and 1600 byte fragmentation threshold.  • Transmit Channels: Allows user to Enable or Disable each channel on the radio for TX.  • Receive Channels: Allows user to Enable or Disable each channel on the radio for RX.  • GI Mode: This feature can be used to improve performance in environments where long delay spread is present and causing intersymbol interference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersymbol_interference). This setting allows the radio to vary its Guard Interval (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guard_interval) to allow for longer delay spread. When set to ‘Extended Auto – GI’, the radio will choose between the regular GI, and the user specified longer GI (Cyclic Prefix Length in the next setting) depending on channel conditions.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    55 • Beamforming (SC4200/SC4400 Only): Enable or disable TX Beamforming (Up to 2X increase in range when enabled)  • Radio Mode: Switch between Network mode and PHY Diagnostics. If the value equals 0, it is in Network mode; if the value equals 1, it is in PHY Diagnostics. PHY Diagnostics mode is only relevant for users who wish to run diagnostic tests on the radio. • Apply: Applies the new values but does not save them to flash. • Save and Apply: Save the new values to flash and apply.

The user may set this to be on the user’s IP network, e.g., 192.168.2.10. Once this secondary IP address is set, the user may access the radio web page using either the native IP address or the secondary IP address. Please note that the secondary IP address should NOT be on the 172.20.xx.xx subnet.  • Virtual Netmask: Netmask for the Secondary IP address, e.g. 255.255.255.0.  • Gateway: Gateway for local network to allow radio to connect to the internet  • VPN: For WAN wired backbone scenarios where radios from two different sites are connected via the internet, a public N2N server is needed to route the data. Here is an example of how to setup an N2N server on a server hosted by Amazon AWS running Ubuntu 12.04: Compile: git clone https://github.com/lukablurr/n2n_v2_fork ### downloads the code cd n2n_v2_fork export N2N_OPTION_AES=no make clean make  Execute: ./supernode -l 9000 -v  Server will be running on port 9000.  • VPN Server IP: IP Address of N2N VPN Server  • VPN Server Port: Port that the N2N VPN server is configured to listen on.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    60  VLAN Settings (License Enabled Feature):  VLANs allow users to segregate the Ethernet layer by assigning one or more VLAN IDs to the ports of a VLAN switch. Ethernet packets are only allowed to travel between ports that belong to the same VLAN. To allow concatenating multiple VLAN switches and/or a single physical interface residing on multiple VLANs, a VLAN ID can be inserted to the Ethernet packet header to indicate which VLAN the packet belongs to. This is called VLAN Tagging. A packet that contains a VLAN ID is called a tagged packet. A port on a VLAN switch typically operates in either access mode or trunk mode.  • VLAN Mode: Specify ‘Access’ or ‘Trunk’ mode for the radio per the 802.1Q standard. • Default (Native/PVID) VLAN: This is the VLAN associated with untagged packets entering the radio. The virtual IP of the radio is available on this VLAN. • Management  VLAN:  This  is  the  VLAN  used  for  radio  management  (e.g.  routing  and network management). All radios on the network should have the same management VLAN. The 172.20.xx.yy IP of the radio is available only on this VLAN. • Trunk VLAN(s): This setting enables the trunking of VLANs when the radio is connected to an 802.1Q switch. If left empty, only the native and management VLAN traffic will be allowed. User may enter a comma separated list of VLANS, e.g. 4,5,6 or an arry of VLANs in  the format of  a:b:c where a and  c  are  start and end, and  b  is step size,  e.g.  4:1:7 translates to 4,5,6,7. Any combination of the above is allowed.  WiFi Settings (License Enabled Feature – SC3822 Only): Note: Use of this feature requires a Silvus USB-WiFi adapter. The WiFi settings will only display if the USB WiFi license is loaded, and the WiFi dongle is attached to the radio’s USB port before it is powered on. • Wifi Mode: Choose between AP, Client or Disabled. AP mode turns the WiFi dongle into a wireless AP. This mode is useful for connecting phones, tablets, laptops, etc. to the radio in order to pull up the web interface and access other devices in the mesh network. Client mode  allows  the  radio  to  connect  to  another  wireless  AP.  This  mode  is  useful  for connecting to wireless cameras and other devices which generate their own ‘hotspot’. Once set to client mode, a list of detected wireless networks will be displayed with an option to connect.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    61 • Mode: When set to AP, the wireless can be configured to be in Bridge Mode or NAT mode. In Bridge mode, the wireless interface is bridged with the Ethernet interface and the rest of the mesh. This is the simplest mode as all data is transparent and at layer 2. NAT mode puts the WiFi wireless traffic on a LAN, and the rest of the Silvus mesh network on a WAN. In effect, this means that a device connected wirelessly via the NAT AP will be able to find any device in the larger mesh network, but not vice versa.  NAT mode is recommended for more advanced users who wish to be able to segregate data. • SSID: Define the SSID for the wireless network. Must be between 1-31 characters. User also has the option to prevent the AP from broadcasting it’s SSID by checking the ‘Hide’ box. • Security Mode: Determines whether the AP requires a password to connect. • Password: If ‘Security Mode’ is set to ‘Secure’, a password between 8 and 63 characters must be set. • Wifi Channel: The Silvus USB-Wifi adapter supports 20 different Wifi channels in both the 2.4GHz  and  5GHz  frequency  ranges.  It  is  recommended  to  set  the  Wifi  channel to  a frequency that has maximum separation from the mesh network frequency. (i.e. if mesh network is operating at 2.4GHz, it is recommended to set the Wifi frequency somewhere in the 5GHz range). Note that not all user devices support 5GHz Wifi. • Wifi Standard: Specify 802.11b or g wifi standard. Some legacy devices may not be able to connect to an 802.11g network. • DHCP: When enabled, the USB-Wifi adapter will assign IP addresses to connected devices. Note that when the AP is set to ‘Bridge’ mode, the DHCP will be delivered to the entire mesh. Users should be careful to make sure there is only one DHCP server connected into the mesh network to avoid any conflicts. When DHCP is enabled, the DHCP parameters must be set. • Wifi TX Power: This slider can be used to control the Wifi TX power from 0dBm (1mW) up to 17dBm (50mW). • Wifi Status: Provides status information of the wifi adapter. A list of connected clients will also be shown here. • Port Forwarding (NAT Mode Only): When in NAT mode, devices on the larger mesh will not be able to locate devices connected to the wireless adapter. This can be overcome by mapping port forwarding for specific data streams. • Apply: Applies the new values but does not save them to flash. • Save and Apply: Save the new values to flash and apply.

If set to ‘Block’, all unregistered multicast traffic will be block. If set to ‘Send to All’, all unregistered multicast traffic will be sent to all radios. • Custom Pruning/Augmenting: Enable or Disable the Multicast group. The format for the field is Multicast_ip_address, receiver_id1, … receiver_idn If IGMP snooping is disabled, multicast traffic will only be forwarded to the radios in this list. If enabled, multicast traffic will only be forwarded to radios in this list that have client devices requesting this traffic. Traffic may be forced to go to a radio by adding the node with postfix “+”. Traffic may be prevented from reaching a radio by adding postfix “-”. (e.g. 224.50.50.50 1234, 1235-, 1236+) If receiver_id is -1, it will stop multicast traffic for this group. Multicast Pruning Examples: Data for multicast group 224.50.50.51 will be received only by radios with node-ids 1131 and 1261: 224.50.50.51, 1131, 1261 Data for multicast group 224.50.50.51 will be discarded at the transmitter and not put on the air: 224.50.50.51, -1

 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    64 Quality of Service Port Classification: The Quality of Service configuration page allows the user to make a distinction between low and high priority traffic transmitted through each radio. High priority traffic will always jump to the front of the queue and bypass any awaiting low priority traffic. In instances where the link cannot support the amount  of  data trying to  be  transmitted, low priority  traffic may  be  completely shelved in order to ensure that the high priority traffic gets through.   To specify Low/High priority traffic, the user needs to simply input the port number that the traffic will be arriving on. Multiple ports of the same priority can be separated by a comma (i.e. 5001, 6001, 6002). Alternatively, the user can specify a range of ports using a dash (i.e. 5001-5006). Any combination of commas and dashes will work as well (i.e. 5001, 6001-6007, 8000). Any  field  can  be  cleared  by  removing  the  text  and  clicking  ‘Apply’  or  ‘Save  and  Apply’.  If unspecified, traffic is treated as Low Priority.  Quality of Service Contention Window Control: The Quality of Service Contention Window Control tunes the aggressiveness of CSMA backoffs when collisions occur. The MAC takes random backoffs in the range [0, 2^cw_min]. Every time there is a collision/noise it will increase this cw_min by 1, until it is capped by cw_max. E.g. 4,10 translates to random backoffs in the range [0,16] in the beginning for a packet. If the first try results in a collision, it will pick another backoff in the range [0,32], then [0,64], until [0,1024]. After  successful transmission, backoff  is reset to  [0,16]. The  default is 4,10 for low priority, and 3,6 for high priority. For larger networks, it is recommended to increase the Low Priority minimum to reduce the chance of collisions occurring.  End-to-End Automatic Repeat request (Beta Feature – License Enabled) The End-to-End ARQ feature provides packet re-ordering capability to the radio. This feature is useful in applications that are sensitive to out of order packets (i.e. video applications where the decoder does not have the ability to re-order packets).  To enable packet reordering, specify the port number of the subject data in the same format as the QoS ports on the source and destination radio. The settings should match on both radios and do not need to be set on any relays. Retransmissions  Disabled –  Only  packet  re-ordering  with  no  end-to-end  retransmissions  if packets are lost. The receiver timeout is the length of time the receiver waits for out-of-order packets before giving up and delivering the data it has in its buffer. This is similar in concept to
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    65 the jitter buffer in common video decoders (e.g. VLC). The worst case end-to-end delay will be incremented by the receiver timeout value. Retransmissions Enabled – Packet re-ordering and end-to-end retransmissions enabled in case of packet loss. The retransmission timeout is the time the transmitter will wait before re-sending a lost packet. The worst case end-to-end delay will be incremented by the retransmission timeout value. Determining Timeout Value – Both receiver timeout and retransmission timeout should be set to roughly 3 times the end-to-end latency. The end-to-end latency can be found by disabling e2e and doing a ping between the transmitter and receiver. QoS Scheduler (Beta Feature – License Enabled) The  Quality  of  Service  (QoS)  Scheduler  feature  provides  a  Hierarchical  Token  Bucket  (HTB) scheduler. The scheduler prioritizes traffic based on the packets DSCP value. There are 12 queues in the scheduler; each with an assignable minimum bandwidth guarantee.  First, the minimum guarantees  are  fulfilled  for  all  queues  waiting  to  transmit  traffic  out.  If  there  is  bandwidth remaining, it becomes available to highest priority traffic (lower number means higher priority) and it will take as much bandwidth as it  needs to transmit out its data.  Next, the remaining bandwidth will become available to the next lowest priority queue and so on. Traffic flows which map to the same priority will fairly share the available bandwidth using the Fair Queuing with Control  Delay  (FQ_CoDeL)  scheduling  algorithm.  The  feature  is  applicable  to  IPv4  and  IPv6 untagged and tagged packets. Fragmented packets are not supported. Detailed below is the DSCP to queue/priority mapping.

A special power cable and null modem cable are required for access to the radio’s serial port. A brief description of each parameter is given below.  • Serial Port Mode: The user can select one of four available modes for the serial port: GPS, RS232, Debug, and Disabled.  o GPS: In GPS mode, an external serial GPS module can be connected to and powered from the serial port of the radio. A gpsd service daemon running on the node will make the GPS information  available  to  any  user  on  the  network  from  TCP/IP  port  2947.  For  more information on gpsd please see: http://catb.org/gpsd/  In addition, GPS information can be pushed to the radio via the Ethernet port or pulled by the radio from a remote device such as an SC-IOM. If using an SC-IOM to obtain GPS, set the GPS mode to remote, the GPS Server IP to the IP address of the SC-IOM, and the Port to 2947.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    68 o RS-232: The RS-232 mode provides a wireless serial connection between any two serial devices connected to StreamCaster radios on the network. In this mode, the user must configure  the  RS-232  protocol  parameters  shown  in  Figure  28  above.  The  transport protocol for the serial data can be set as either TCP or UDP. For data that is sensitive to latency such as command and control data, UDP is recommended. For data that cannot tolerate any data loss, such as telemetry data, TCP is recommended.  β–ͺ The Peer IP should be the IP address of the radio on the other end of the RS-232 communication. β–ͺ The Peer IP can be the native or virtual IP address, but must be consistent at both ends. β–ͺ Baud rate must match the baud rate of data being sent from the device. β–ͺ Note – An additional ‘null modem’ cable may be needed at either end, depending upon whether connected device is acting as a terminal or as a control (DTE or DCE)  o Debug: The debug mode is used to gain terminal access to the StreamCaster radio and is available  for  debug or  interface purposes  (API commands). The  user’s  terminal  client should be set to a baud rate of 115200 for console access to the radio.  o Disabled: This mode completely disables the serial terminal of the radio. • Apply: Apply the new values but does not save them to flash. • Save and Apply: Save the new values to flash and apply. USB Status (3822/4200/4400): The USB port on the 3822/4200/4400 can auto-detect whether the connected device is a USB host or client device. The USB cable should not be unplugged while the radio is running.

This is useful for users that intend to feed this information into some other platform for analysis and recording. Section 8 gives more information on the format of streaming reports.  Temperature Thresholds: In  addition  to  receiving  temperature  reports,  this  page  can  be  used  to  set  minimum  and maximum temperature thresholds for the radio. The StreamCaster™ family of radios is equipped with on board temperature sensors which are monitored to prevent overheating. Once a radio reaches the maximum temperature threshold, the radio will begin to reduce its transmission time until the temperature falls below the minimum temperature threshold. By default, the min and max values are 75C and 85C respectively. RSSI Reporting Configuration This  setting  allows the  users  to report the  RSSI  values every few  milliseconds  base  on users setting. LED Configuration: This setting allows the user to disable or enable the LED on the faceplate of the radio.

Encryption:  Figure 32 Security (Encryption) • Encryption: Enable or disable encryption.  • FIPS Mode: Enabling FIPS mode is the first step to making the radio FIPS compliant (see Section 6.1 Enable FIPS Mode for details). Enabling/disabling will require a reboot and will erase all setting profiles, reset the encryption key, both SSH keys, the HTTPS certificate, and the login passwords to their factory default. Enabling will also turn on HTTPS and Login Authentication. After reboot, the operator must perform the following steps to complete the FIPS compliant process.   o Update the web login password to something other than “HelloWorld” o Create new SSH keys and HTTPS certificate. o Update encryption key or click “Generate Encryption Key” and save.  • Encryption Key: Set an encryption key if encryption is enabled.  • Encryption Profile: Choose between various encryption profiles. Available options are:
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    74  o DES 56 bit – DES encryption using 56 bit keys. This mode is backwards compatible with legacy SC3500/3800 radios. o AES 128/256 – AES encryption using 128/256 bit keys. This mode is backwards compatible with legacy SC3500/3800 radios. o AES-GCM  256  ECDH-KAS –  FIPS  compliant  AES  encryption  in  GCM  mode  with authentication and ECDHE based re-keying. This is the recommended mode on the 4K series  as  it  is  the  most  secure  and  provides  the  highest  throughput  under  varied conditions. It is currently undergoing FIPS certification for the 4K series.   • HTTP Secure (HTTPS): Enable or disable HTTPS access to StreamScape.  Upgrade:  Figure 33 Security (Upgrade) The firmware can be upgraded by simply choosing the upgrade image from your desktop and uploading it to the radio.

The profile stored can be downloaded or deleted. • Upload Profile: Select a downloaded profile from the computer and upload to the radio as a saved profile. • Save Current Settings: Store the current settings on to the radio for future access. Note that the FIPS mode setting is not saved in the profile. You must manually enable/disable it after applying the profile.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    78 Key Management:  Figure 38 (Key Management) This page is used to manage the radio’s SSH login keys, SSH host key, and HTTPS Certificate. All key pairs used are elliptic curves. • SSH Login Keys: In order to SSH into the radio, you must first generate a key pair and upload the public key onto the radio. A common way this is done on a computer is through the command `ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521`. You will need to do this for each machine that wants to SSH into the radio, or you can share a single key pair amongst machines.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    79 • SSH Host Key: This key is used for authenticating the radio to all machines that want to connect to it via SSH. A common way this key is generated on a computer is  ‘openssl ecparam -name secp521r -genkey -noout -out yourfilename`. You may either upload your own key or generate one on the radio. Once you upload/generate a new key, the previous one  is gone.  You  can get  the original key  by Factory  Reset  -> Zeroize.  (Note  that the generated text from the above command will encode both a private and public key in the text). • HTTPS Certificate: This certificate is used to establish a HTTPS connection. If you are using a factory default or radio generated certificate and haven’t added an exception of this certificate to your browser, you will see a message like below from your browser. This is because the certificate is signed by the radio and not a trusted Certificate Authority. You can bypass this by clicking “ADVANCED” in chrome, (or adding an exception in Firefox). The simplest way to generate a new certificate is to click “Generate Certificate and Save” button. If you are on HTTPS when you do this, you must also refresh the page. If you want to  generate  your  own  certificate,  you  must  first  generate  a  key  pair  (secp256r1, secp384r1, or secp521r1). Then create a X.509 certificate and append your private key to it.  Copy  the  certificate  text  to  the  “Add  a  HTTPS  Certificate”  section,  then  click “Add Certificate and Save.”   Figure 39 (Chrome Browser Warning)

Radios will only communicate with other radios that are subscribed to the same ‘Multicast Group’. Radios can be active in multiple talk groups.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    81 Multicast Group – Input the IP address of the multicast group. Radios will only communicate to radios within the same group. There are three different modes to select which dictate how a radio behaves within a group: • Active: Radio may send and receive PTT audio on this group. • Inactive: Group is disabled, no PTT audio will be sent or received. • Monitor: Radio may listen to PTT audio from other users on this group, but may not talk. Mic  Type  – Supported  MIC  types  are  Moving  Coil  or  Condenser.  The  input  amplification  is adjusted based on the Mic Type chosen on this page Mic Bias Voltage – Options are 90% (3V) or 65% (2.15V). Audio  Encoder  Type –  Default  option  is  G.722  (high  quality).  G.711  is  also  supported  for backwards compatibility with the SC-IOM Speaker Volume – Moving slider adjusts the gain on the speaker Mic Volume – Moving slider adjusts the gain on the microphone Beep Volume + PTT Override – When the PTT button is pressed while another user is speaking, a warning beep will be played. This setting controls the volume of the Beep as a percent (%) of the speaker volume above. Pressing the PTT button three times (and holding on the third) within 1s will allow a user to override the channel and speak.  PTT HQ Link Notifications – When the PTT button is pressed twice within 1s, an audio notification will read out the SNR level to the user-specified HQ node. If the level transitions option is enabled, the notification will be played automatically when the SNR crosses the specified thresholds. The SNR thresholds can be set by first choosing the number of levels desired, and then moving the sliders accordingly.

When a scan is initiated, each selected radio in the network will go offline, perform a scan of the requested range, and report back. Figure 41 Spectrum Scan above shows the results from a scan of a network of 6 radios. The checkboxes at the top allow users to show or hide plots from specific radios. The three plots provided are: Average – Displays the average power over the time duration specified in the settings. Peak – Displays the peak power seen at any point during the scan for each frequency. This is the equivalent of the ‘Max Hold’ feature on common spectrum analyzers. Threshold – Displays the duty cycle of interference stronger than the user specified ‘Threshold’ power. In the example above, the threshold was set to 5dB. The plot is showing the percentage of time that the measured power is more than 5dB above the radio’s noise floor.

You must first configure the settings you want to  correspond with each switch position. The “Editing  Profile”  slider  represents  which  position  is  currently  being  edited.  “Group  Type” represents the collection of settings that will be applied. Only one “Group Type” is active at a given time. When the MPS switch is turned, the LED light on the radio will quickly flash green. This means the settings are being applied for this position. When the LED stops quickly flashing, the settings have been applied. Position 1 is special. Any time settings are updated from the GUI without using the MPS page (i.e. Basic Tab, PTT/Audio Tab), position 1 will be updated with those results. The green highlight shows the current position of the physical switch. If the radio boots up in position “Z,” MPS will be disabled until the radio is rebooted in another position.

On the USB, the password reset key file must be called reset_pass.txt.signed. Note that since the SC3500 and SC3800 do not have USB ports, you will not be able to set a password for these radios. This will set login passwords and all security keys to their defaults. This includes the Encryption Key, SSH Login Key, SSH Host Key, HTTPS Certificate, and Encryption Key Volatile.  It will also erase all settings profiles. Also, if FIPS mode is off, it will turn off HTTPS and login mode. The current FIPS mode will not be changed.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    89 5.2 StreamScape Network Manager  Silvus’ StreamScape Network Management Utility was designed to monitor the status of a Silvus mesh network in real-time. The graphical interface network map, shown in Figure 44, allows users to quickly and effortlessly view the network topology and configure key parameters of the network. For ease of use, the Silvus StreamScape utility is designed to be accessible from a Firefox or Chrome web browser.  5.2.1 Network Topology   Figure 49 Silvus StreamScapeNetwork Manager The network topology provides the user with real-time visual feedback of the network. Users will be able to determine several network characteristics at a glance with the following features:   • Color Coded Link Health – Color coding of each link in the network allows the user to quickly identify the weak links within a network. A link between two nodes will transition from green to yellow to red as the link weakens while also displaying the SNR of the link. This can be seen in Figure 50.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    90  • Route Health – The Silvus StreamScape Utility will alert the user when too many packets are being routed through a single node. In such cases, a node will change from green to yellow to red as the packet queue increases (see ‘1132_4.108’ and ‘1131_4.107’in Figure 50). This will allow the user to recognize the issue and rearrange the network accordingly. Table below also shows the values for each scenario.  `       Figure 50 Example Network Topology   Green Orange Red Link >20dB 10-20dB <10dB Node <10 Packets in Queue 10-100 Packets in Queue >100 Packets in Queue Table 21 Color Coding for Links and Nodes
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    91  • Routing Information – The user can view the routing path between any 2 nodes within a network by simply specifying the source and destination node in the Control Panel on the left hand side. The path will turn bold as shown in Figure 51 for the path from ‘node4411’ to ‘node4569’.    Figure 51 Routing Path  • Custom Node Naming – Naming each node in the network is as simple as double-clicking on the node name and typing in a new name as shown in Figure 52. Once this is done, the user need to hit enter to keep the node name. Otherwise it will change back to what it was. This feature enables quick identification of nodes in the field and is especially useful in mission critical situations with many mobile assets. The user can click on the ‘Save Labels in Flash’ button in the left pane to store the node names to the radio’s flash memory. This will store the names on the radio even after the radio is powered off. The saved labels can also be cleared back to the defaults by clicking ‘Clear Labels in Flash’. The node labels set in one radio can also be broadcasted to other radios in the network by clicking the ‘Broadcast Node Labels’ button.

 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    101 5.2.4 Per-Node Setup The  per-node  setup  can  be  used  to  modify  key  parameters  of  individual  nodes  within  the network. As shown in Figure 60, users will see a list of all nodes available within the network. The directly connected node is listed first with the rest ordered lexically. From here, users can click on an individual node and modify its parameters. Any parameters changed from this interface can either be applied or saved and applied.  In addition, this page can be used to upgrade a radio’s firmware by simply choosing the upgrade image from your desktop and uploading it to the radio. This field can be used to upgrade the radio root file system, linux kernel, or uboot. The upgrade system accepts the root file system image for upgrade or a tar file containing up to 3 files (uboot, kernel, rootfs) for upgrade. A radio reboot will be required after update before the changes take effect.   Figure 60 Per-Node Setup

 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    103 5.2.5.1 Map Options There  are  4  map  options  currently  available  in  the  Map  Overlay  view.  The  default  map  is OpenStreet Maps. OpenStreet Maps and OpenStreet Maps Silvus can be saved to the radio’s internal memory for offline use. For instructions to Download OpenStreet Maps into the radio, see section 5.2.5.2. OpenStreet Maps Silvus is a version of OpensStreet maps which is hosted on Silvus’  servers  in  case  of  an  interruption  in  service  with  OpenStreet  Maps.  The  Silvus  maps currently only cover the United States.  In Addition to OpenStreet Maps, Google Maps and Google Satellite are also available. This can be changed by clicking the ‘+’ symbol at the top right of the map:  Figure 62 Google Maps Note that Google Maps and Google Satellite require an active internet connection on the viewing computer. These maps cannot be saved for offline use.

For map caching follow these steps: 1. Attach the radio to a laptop and open the advanced tab. 2. Set the Virtual IP address, netmask and gateway to values appropriate for your local network. Your local network should be able to access the internet. 3. Attach the radio to your local network and open the Map Overlay tab. 4. Input the address of the location you wish to download 5. You now have two options for caching map data: a. Zoom/pan around the area you are interested in at the zoom level you will be using. This will automatically cache the map data at this zoom level. b. Fill in the radius field (in meters), set the Min/Max zoom levels and click on ‘Seed the Map’. This is a beta feature and will attempt to cache the entire area for all appropriate zoom levels. Users should be careful in using this feature since it may take some time and will use up the radio’s available memory. For reference, a radius of ~3000m will use approximately 5 percent of the total memory.

FIPS Mode 6.1  Enable FIPS Mode The following steps are required to make the radio FIPS compliant.  1. Enable FIPS mode under Security -> Encryption tab. This will require a reboot and will erase all setting profiles, reset the encryption key, both SSH keys, the HTTPS certificate, and the login passwords to their factory default. It will also turn on HTTPS and Login Authentication. 2. After the radio comes back online, you will need to login to continue. You must change the default password of “HelloWorld,” for all three users. Do this by clicking “Change Password,” and then follow the instructions in section 5.1.13 Admin Settings. 3. Next go to Security -> Key Management.  You must change the SSH Login Key, SSH Host Key,  and  HTTPS  Certificate  from  their  defaults.  See  section  5.1.10  under  Key Management for details.  4. Now you must create an encryption key that will be shared amongst all radios on a network. For initial setup, you must have a direct connection to each radio from your laptop (since a mesh cannot be formed without a shared encryption key). On the first radio, click Generate Random Key, then click Apply. For the rest of the radios, instead of clicking Generate Random Key, copy/paste the first generated key to the rest of the radios under the same section. o If you want to change the encryption key after initial setup, you must carefully sequence the order in which  you change the keys if  you don’t have  a direct connection to all radios. First change the radios at the very edge of the network. As soon as you do this, those radios will be disconnected from the network. Now change the new radios at the edge of the network. After you have changed the encryption key for all radios on the network, they will all reconnect again. 6.1.1  Potential User Errors o Do not use the same encryption key you were using in non FIPS mode because these may have been broadcasted in plain text. Generate new ones once in FIPS mode.

The StreamCaster routing protocol will automatically detect and route data on wired links to preserve air bandwidth. 7.1 LAN Backbone The LAN backbone feature allows more than one radio to be connected to a LAN. 7.1.1 Implementation One  of  these  radios  must  be  configured  as  a  “gateway”  radio.  This  radio  then  begins  listening promiscuously on its ethernet interface to “register” all devices on the LAN as being connected to the gateway radio. At the same time it auto-detects other non-gateway radios connected to the LAN and establishes “wired” links to them. StreamScape Web GUI will show  LAN links with  SNR of 150 dB to differentiate from wireless links. The non-gateway radios do not register any devices, they merely act as relays. The gateway radio will forward traffic originating from the LAN, destined for a device attached to a wireless radio, to the non-gateway radio that is closest to the destination. Similarly, any traffic originating from a device attached to a remote wireless radio, destined to a device on the LAN will be forwarded by non-gateway radios to the gateway radio. The gateway radio will then send it to the device. Currently we support data rates of up to 65 Mbps on the LAN without encryption. Since all LAN traffic goes via the gateway radio, this is the upper limit of all traffic that can enter or go out of the LAN from/to devices connected to wireless radios. Of course, this limit does not affect the throughput between two devices connected directly to the LAN backbone. 7.1.2 Use Case Consider the following scenario. A business wants to do video monitoring of its grounds. High speed LAN hookups are available only in the HQ building. They want to use the StreamCaster radios on towers to provide complete coverage of the grounds. All video feeds are sent back and displayed at the HQ. To conserve air bandwidth and possible interference to other users, we want video data to go through the high speed LAN backbone as much as possible. The below diagram shows the scenario.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    111 Towers 1-3 are equipped with IP cameras attached to StreamCaster radios 1-3. Radios 4-6 are mounted on three sides of the HQ building with their Ethernet interfaces connected to the high speed LAN. Tower 1 can only communicate wirelessly with radio 4, Tower 3 with radio 5 and Tower 2 with radio 6. Video from Tower 1 will flow wirelessly to radio 4, then via the LAN backbone to the HQ viewer which is also attached to the LAN backbone. Even though the radios 4-6 may communicate wirelessly, they will choose to do so via the LAN backbone.   Figure 66 LAN Backbone Example  7.2 WAN Backbone with Roaming The WAN backbone feature allows the wireless mesh network to extend over Internet links. Multiple geographically separate “sites” can be connected into one single layer 2 network as long as each site has
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    112 an uplink to the Internet. The roaming feature allows mobile devices connected to StreamCaster radios to roam from one site to another without any network re-configuration. 7.2.1 Implementation Each site wishing to become part of the wireless mesh needs to connect one StreamCaster radio to its LAN. Such a radio has to be configured to connect to a remote VPN server using the N2N protocol. Radios from multiple sites will be connected at layer 2 via the N2N VPN server creating a single broadcast domain for such nodes. By broadcasting routing packets in this domain, the nodes will auto-detect each other and establish  WAN  links.  Such  links  will  appear  on  the  StreamScape  GUI  with  a  link  SNR  of  120  dB  to differentiate from LAN links (150 dB) and wireless links.  The N2N VPN server will try to establish peer-to-peer links between the radios if it can. Under some cases (e.g. symmetric NATs), this is not possible, in which case traffic between the peers is relayed by the N2N server. The N2N server can be hosted at any server with a public IP on the Internet. As a proof-of-concept, a server has been set  up on Amazon  Web  Services. Currently we support up to 10  Mbps  unencrypted between any two sites. 7.2.2 Use Case Consider a military scenario where a platoon of soldiers begins its mission at an HQ, then breaks up into two groups. Each group has at least one soldier with an uplink to the Internet (provided by a 4G card). The HQ also has an uplink to the Internet. Every soldier and the HQ have a StreamCaster radio attached to their devices. The soldiers in the two groups want seamless and transparent communication between 1) other soldiers in the same group 2) soldiers in the other group 3) back to HQ. Some lone soldiers (e.g. Soldier A with a StreamCaster radio) may break up from each group and move about on their own. As they get close to group 1, 2 or the HQ, they should be able to immediately establish communication and talk to all other soldiers in the network. The StreamCaster radios connected to the uplinks in Group 1-2 and the HQ will automatically connect and form WAN links. Note that the WAN and LAN backbone are complementary features. E.g. at the HQ, multiple radios can be connected to a LAN backbone so that any approaching soldier or group has a direct line of sight wireless connection to the HQ.

Streaming Response Some users may be interested in streaming specific information from the radio e.g. RSSI, noise floor, temperature,  etc.  After  enabling  the  response  they  need  using  the  above  commands,  the  radio  will transmit the desired information in the form of UDP packets to a specific IP address and port. The format of each report message will be in the type-length-value format as shown below: TYPE LENGTH VALUE TYPE LENGTH VALUE … • TYPE and LENGTH will be 16-bit unsigned integers in network-endian format. • TYPE indicates the kind of information being transmitted. Pre-defined types are listed later in this document. • LENGTH indicates the length of the VALUE field in bytes, including the terminating null byte. • VALUE will be ASCII-encoded text terminated with a null byte ('\0'). • A single report will comprise of a set of type-length-value fields beginning with a “begin” report type. It will have a type which is specific to the type of report being generated, length of 1 byte and a value of an empty string (“”). Note the empty string is still null terminated. • Each report will end with an end of report which has type 1 (type = end of report, length = 1, value = ""). • The empty string listed above has a NULL character and has length 1. Any length number in the streaming report includes the NULL character • A UDP packet may contain more than one report. • The UDP packets have a maximum size of 1400 bytes.

Table 22 RSSI Reporting Format Note:  The sync noise and power (types 5005, 5006) are special values obtained after packet processing in the digital domain. They cannot be directly compared to the raw signal and noise values. To obtain an SNR from these values the user needs to run the below formula on these values: X = sync signal power; Y = sync noise power;
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    119 Z = (Y-X)/51 SNR_mw = (X – 12 * Z)/(64 * Z) SNR_db = 10 * log(SNR_mw)/log(10) SNR_db is the SNR in dB and it is averaged across all antennae. The SNR obtained above is more accurate when the real SNR goes below 10 dB. Above 10 dB, the SNR obtained from the raw signal and noise values are more accurate. Below is an example of the RSSI report: Report Type Length Information 5009 1 "" 5010 4 "1.0" 5008 5 "2333" 5000 5 "-43" 5001 5 "-31" 5002 5 "-28" 5003 5 "-66" 5004 5 "-190" 5005 8 "8604568" 5006 8 "8861322" 5007 5 "1025" 1 1 "" Table 23 Sample RSSI Report The corresponding raw UDP dump in hexadecimal format is attached below.

Setting up an Iperf Test 10.1 Required Equipment • Two  laptops  with  jperf  installed.  It  is  beyond  the  scope  of  this  manual  to  cover  the installation and operation of these tools. The laptops must be on the same subnet but not necessarily the same subnet as the radios (172.20.xx.yy). It is not required for the user to set a secondary IP address on the radio to perform this test. It is recommended the iperf or jperf tests are first conducted between the laptops using an Ethernet switch or cross-over Ethernet cable between them to verify the laptops and iperf/jperf tools. • Two or more StreamCaster radios properly configured.  10.2 Running Iperf Test • Connect a laptop to one StreamCaster radio using the Ethernet cable. • Connect the other laptop to another StreamCaster radio. • Power up the radios and verify the radios are booted and connected wirelessly. • At the receiver side type the following in a terminal o iperf –s –u  -i 1 • At the transmitter side type the following in a terminal o iperf –c receiver_laptop_ip_address –u –i 1 –b 1M –t 60

Precautions and Recommendations 11.1 Saving the Radio Configuration It is very important that the radio does not lose power during any configuration changes in which the user requests a “save and apply” operation. Partial saving of the configuration to the radio due to power interruption may disable the radio requiring reprogramming at the factory. Also, please  wait  for  a  “done”  feedback  at  the  web  interface  before  proceeding  to  any  other configuration changes.
 StreamCaster MIMO Radio User Manual  7/24/18 10017C000  Sensitive Company Material – Do Not Duplicate    Page    125 12. Troubleshooting 12.1 LED Issues • If flashing red LED is present, radio is in safe boot mode. Click save and apply to resume normal operation. • If LED is orange and node won’t connect to another node, click “restore factory defaults” on both radios to ensure all settings are reverted to factory settings.  12.2 Intermittent Link • In a long range scenario if SNR is good but link drops unexpectedly check link distance parameter  and  make  sure  that  the  link  distance  is  set  the  same  on  all  radios  and sufficiently large enough. • Check interference levels as strong interference can result in an intermittent link.
