i. About this Guide
Congratulations on the purchase of your Solectek SkyWay MAX Wireless System This document has been
supplied to assist with the turn up, commissioning and long term management of a SkyWay MAX wireless
system.
The following Solectek Models are covered herein:
Outdoor Base Stations
ODB-3335
ODB-3436
ODB-3638
Indoor Controllers
IC-100
Outdoor Subscriber Stations
ODS-3335
ODS-3436
ODS-3638
This document is divided into two sections. First, the document will walk through a typical network
turn-up and commissioning sequence covering product configuration, pre-provisioning, installation and
verification. Second, the document will review the detailed and advanced usage of the SkyWay MAX
system to allow system tuning, long term management and network scalability.
This document does not cover the physical installation of the SkyWay MAX devices. This information is
presented in the following documents, available from your local reseller or directly from Solectek:
DOCS-1023: SkyWay MAX Outdoor Base Station - Installation Guide
DOCS-1024: SkyWay MAX Outdoor Subscriber - Installation Guide
DOCS-1025: SkyWay MAX Indoor Base Station Controller - Installation Guide
Similarly, this document does not cover the detailed planning processes required in developing a highperformance, scalable WiMAX network. Topics such as Network Planning, Frequency Planning/Reuse, RF
coverage and QoS modeling are outside the scope of this document. Customers interested in additional
information on these topics should contact Solectek’s System Engineering group for further information.

SkyWay-MAX
Operator’s Guide
I. Quick Launch
A. Minimum System Information
A minimum set of information must be gathered during the system planning process prior to network turnup:
RF
yy Sector channel – for example: 3500 MHz
yy Sector bandwidth – for example: 3.5 MHz
Network
yy IP Settings
yy Administrative Protocols – this is the list of IP/Ethernet protocols which must be supported on the
SkyWay MAX network to allow the transport of basic services to the subscriber-side network(s).
Examples include: DHCP, ARP, and PPPoE.
B. Assumptions
With the information set developed in the previous section, a SkyWay MAX single sector system can be
commissioned. However, it is important to understand that certain assumptions are being made and
features disabled, as follows:
yy Security
Admission control and encryption is open
yy User Services
Per Subscriber services are not defined. All User traffic is supported on a single, network wide nondifferentiated service (also referred to as ‘open IP service’)
It is also assumed that the SkyWay MAX Base Station and one or more Subscribers have been physically
installed and/or made available for Bench Testing.
C. SkyWay MAX Manager Installation / Launch
The Manager Application is a Java-based, Windows XP compliant application used for basic commissioning
and management of a small to medium-sized SkyWay MAX network.
Referring to the SkyWay MAX Manager Installation Guide (DOCS-1029), install the SkyWay MAX Manager
Application on a Management PC connected to the Base Station’s local subnet.
Be sure to adhere to the minimum system and operation requirements specified in the SkyWay MAX
Manager Installation Guide to insure successful installation and operation.
SkyWay-MAX
Operator’s Guide
D. Base Station Turn-up
The Solectek BSU is shipped in an open access default configuration. Specifically, this means that all
security systems have been disabled, allowing initial network entry of SS units to be more straightforward.
Launch the Manager Application and log into the BSU using the appropriate IP address, Login and
Password. See Appendix A for default access information.
Following a successful login, the Manager Application will display a Network Dashboard and, along the left
side, a command Navigator.
Using the Navigator to access the necessary pages, the Minimum System Information collected in the
previous section should be entered into the BSU configuration, as follows:
Unit Configuration : Port
Set appropriate RF Channel and Bandwidth. If desired, the BSID can be
changed
Unit Configuration : Network
Set appropriate IP Address, Network Mask and Default Gateway.
Note: The Manager connection to the Base Station may be interrupted if changes are made to IP Settings.
Re-launching of the Manager may be required.
E. Subscriber pre-provisioning
Like the BSU, the Solectek SS units are also shipped in a fully ‘open’ mode in which all security features have
been disabled. On the SS, this allows a fully plug ‘n’ play capability in which the SS can be deployed without
pre-configuration of the SS, or pre-provisioning on the BSU.
This open mode implies the following:
yy Base Station ID (BSID) match, used to define which set of BSU’s the SS can connect to, is disabled. The
SS will connect to the BSU first detected.
yy Channel Plan File, used to limit the frequency search range of an SS, is set to the Factory Default set of
frequencies (see Appendix A).
SkyWay-MAX
Operator’s Guide
F. Network Entry Process
Once the BSU and SS are powered and aligned, the SS will initiate the network entry process. Once an RF
link has been established, the new SS will be added to the Manager Dashboard under the Administration
section. Since the SS has not been pre-provisioned in the BSU, it is considered an unknown SS, as seen
below:
G. Getting traffic started
As covered in a subsequent section, the WiMAX protocol requires logical services to be created before
network traffic can flow through the BSU and SS.
Once the SS has entered the BSU network, the Manager Application can create a default set of services to
allow basic traffic to be carried:
yy From the Manager’s Dashboard page, press the ‘Click Here To View’ button. This will lead to the Add
Subscriber page, augmented with the current list of unknown SS units.
yy From this page, the Administrative Services and an Open IP User Service can be created.
At this point, the SS is provisioned and the network should be capable of passing basic traffic.

Operator’s Guide
H. Basic Monitoring
Using the BSU Manager’s Navigation Bar, the following screens can used to assess basic system status:
Dashboard		
Status : RF Port		
Status : Ethernet Port
Used to summarize BSU and all connected SS parameters
Displays current RF port settings and packet counters
Displays current Ethernet port settings and packet counters
Status : Network
Status : Services		
Status : Notifications
Displays packet counter information per SS, and per Service
Displays service configuration and status, per SS
Lists Notification traps sent by BSU
This section ends the Quick Launch process. At this point, multiple SS units can be easily and quickly
deployed and provisioned. However, there is a great deal of functionality and performance to be gained by
implementing the processes and techniques described in the following sections of this Operator’s Guide.
