4. Initial Configuration
A. IP Configuration
Navigate to Configuration -> Basic to access the Basic Configuration screen:
System Name This is a description of the unit used to simplify the
identification of a particular radio in the wireless network. This parameter is
not related to the identification of the unit on your wired local area network.
For security purposes, the System Name is not broadcast across the RF link.
LAN IP Configuration
IP Address: IP address of the local unit.
Subnet Mask: Subnet mask of the local unit.
Default Gateway: Default gateway for the local unit.
5
B. Wireless Configuration
Navigate to Configuration -> Wireless to access the Wireless Configuration
screen:
ESSID The wireless network name assigned to this PTP network.
Transmit Power This parameter sets the RF output power of the radio.
Increasing this value will extend the range of the PTP system. However, the
maximum available power is limited by the country of operation.
For example, in the US, the maximum operating power is limited to 23 dBm.
Frequency Allows selection of the center frequency of the RF link, based on
the region of operation and operating bandwidth. The Frequency parameter is
available on Master PTP unit only. On a Slave unit, the radio will search across
the available channels in order to find the Master.
A sample frequency list is as follows:
Frequency Bandwidth
5745 MHz 20 MHz
5765 MHz 20 MHz
5785 MHz 20 MHz
5805 MHz 20 MHz
Both Master and Slave must share the same Bandwidth setting.
Link Distance Should be set to the actual link distance. This parameter is
used to optimize the performance of the SkyWay protocol across long links.
Note that the maximum link distance at 20 and 40 MHz bandwidth is 32 and 16
miles respectively.
Streams The power of MIMO technology rests on the ability to define the
number of data streams that are carried across the multiple RF links. At all
times, the SkyWay link utilizes a 2x2 dual-chain MIMO format where 2 RF
transmit and 2 RF receive chains are enabled and active. However, these dual
chains can be used to carry 1 or 2 data streams.
In a 2 stream configuration, unique data is carried across each RF chain,
thereby greatly increasing the amount of data capacity over a non-MIMO
system. The 100 Mbps capability of the product requires that 2 streams
operation be configured.
In contrast, when increased link robustness and noise immunity is desired,
MIMO can be used in a 1 stream configuration. In this scenario, the same
information is carried across both RF chains, increasing the reliability of
reception.
It is recommended, but not required, that both Master and Slave units share
the same Modulation and Stream settings.

5. Security
Navigate to Configuration -> Security to access the Security Configuration
screen:
Three data encryption options are available: Open, AES and Radius. All units
on a wireless network must share the same security settings.
Open: Removes all encryption and formal authentication methods. Note that
even with an Open setting, there is still a MAC address based Access Control
system which provides a basic level of security. (See next section)
AES: Provides 128-bit AES data encryption with passphrase based
authentication.
Radius: In addition to AES encryption, this option adds Radius/802.1x
authentication capability compatible with all MS-CHAPv2/PEAP authentication
servers.
6. Access Control
In addition to the formal security methods detailed in the previous section, a
second, independent access control layer is available.
This Layer2 access control system requires that the Master be programmed
with the MAC address of the Slave.
Navigate to Configuration -> ACL to access the following screen:
Slave’s MAC: This is the hardware RF MAC address of the client unit in
question. This MAC address can be found on the client unit’s user interface or
on the rear label. The correct address must be used to establish an RF link with
the base.
Slave’s Description: Type in any description that will easily identify the peer
with the above MAC address. This is an optional field for your convenience only
and has no effect on the operation of the unit.
Click Add after typing in MAC address and Description. Note that the slave unit
is in the Master’s access list and is shown on the bottom half of the screen.
7
7. Benchtesting
Before mounting units into their final location, it is recommended that the
system be benchtested to ensure settings are correct. The following benchtest
steps are suggested:
Setup. Each radio should be connected and configured per the previous
Sections, with a laptop or PC connected to each radio directly (or through a
hub/switch). Be sure that Access Control MAC addresses are correct and that
units share the same bandwidth, data rate and security settings.
It is also important to have identified and prepared the antenna, RF coax and
Cat5 solutions that will be used in the intended application
Positioning. It is important to remember that the Skyway radio and antenna
system generate and transmit a great deal of RF power. During benchtesting in
an average sized room, the antennas should not be pointed directly at each
other. Instead, rotate the unit 90 degrees away from each other. Fine tune
the antenna position so that the Local RSSI is between -30 and -60 dBm.
Testing. If the system has been properly configured, the radios will begin
communicating immediately. The following steps are recommended to verify
operation:
• Link State. On the Main Status screen, verify that the RF Link State is
Green (connected).
• Local ping. From each laptop/PC be sure a ping to the local radio is
successful.
• Link ping. Now ping from one laptop/PC to the other laptop/PC. This
will verify the end-to-end link.
• Throughput test. Using Qcheck, Iperf or equivalent throughput
measurement utility, verify system performance.
Notes:
(a) Keep in mind that the Skyway Excel data rates stress the performance of a
PC, OS and IP stack. To ensure that the test equipment is not the performance
bottleneck, testing with a direct connection between PCs is strongly
recommended.
(b) Using a single FTP session on a typical Windows/Intel machine is not
adequate to accurately measure throughput.
8. Physical Installation
A. INTRODUCTION
Your SkyWay radio is designed with a flexible, multi-axis mounting system.
The radio can be mast, tower, pole or wall mounted using the appropriate
hardware. After determining the best location for your radio, installation can
begin. Please refer to Solectek’s RF Site Design Guide on Solectek’s website
(www.solectek.com) for more information about choosing an ideal radio
location.
To mount a SkyWay radio, both the mast mounting kit and Ethernet cable
feedthrough need to be correctly assembled. The recommended approach
consists of 3 steps, detailed in the following sections:
1. Ethernet cable / feedthrough assembly
2. Bracket preparation
3. Mounting
With the exception of the CAT5 cable, all parts and hardware described in the
following sections are included with your SkyWay radio.
B. ETHERNET CABLE / FEEDTHROUGH ASSEMBLY
Only a single Ethernet cable is needed to connect the Skyway radio to the
indoor PoE Injector. Since the cable is exposed to the outdoor elements (heat,
moisture, and UV light), only outdoor rated, shielded Cat5 Ethernet cable
should be used. To ensure all-weather operation, the weatherproofing cable
feedthrough (also known as grommet or gland) must be properly assembled
onto the Ethernet cable and radio.
The following diagram depicts each of the feed-through parts:
The following steps must be followed to make sure that the feedthrough is
assembled correctly:
8
1. Remove the Compression Nut and slip it over the Ethernet CAT5 cable as
shown above.
2. Slip the Compression Gasket Insert over the Ethernet CAT5 cable
3. Feed the Ethernet CAT5 Cable through the Feedthrough Body (pre-installed
on the enclosure at the factory) and insert the RJ-45 connector to the female
connector inside the enclosure.
4. Slide the Compression Gasket Insert into the Compression Gasket, as
shown above. Make sure to slide the Insert fully, such that the two parts are
evenly aligned.
5. Install the Compression Nut and hand tighten until the cable resists slipping
when gently pushed or pulled. Lightly wrench-tighten, being careful not to
overtorque the Compression Nut.
The unit with properly installed feedthrough appears as follows:
Note: the total combined length of the Ethernet cables between the radio and
your network access device (hub/switch/PC) must not exceed 300 feet.
Note: Once mounted in a permanent location, additional weatherproofing tape
(included) should be used to further enhance durability.
Note: In order to maintain FCC compliance, the use of shielded CAT5 cable is
required.
C. BRACKET PREPARATION
The SkyWay mounting bracket is pre-assembled at the factory for ease of
installation.
9
Using the supplied Bolt/Nut/Washer, attach the bracket tab to the SkyWay
enclosure ear, as shown above. Moderately tighten all bolts to prevent
inadvertent movement during the installation.
D. MOUNTING
The final installation step involves mounting your SkyWay radio to an outdoor
mast or wall.
Mast Mount: The mounting jaws can accommodate mast diameters from
0.75” – 3.0”. Note that the smaller jaw piece can be reversed. Small diameter
masts require the use of the jaw configuration shown in the first picture, below.
Large diameter masts must use the configuration shown in the second picture.
Once the jaws are oriented appropriately, the two remaining bolts are used to
tighten the mounting kit jaws around the pole/mast.
Wall Mount: The larger, integrated jaw has (4) corner through-holes which
accommodate either M5 or #10 screws/bolts (not included) to mount the
system to a wall or soffit. In such a mounting configuration, the smaller jaw,
and (2) jaw bolts are not used.
10
9. Antenna Alignment
SkyWay Excel contains several tools to aid with the antenna alignment process:
Audible Alignment: The radio produces an audible beep allowing antenna
alignment without the need for additional monitoring hardware.
Beeping will begin once an RF link has been established, regardless of quality.
It is useful to reduce the RF Data rate setting to its lowest value during the
antenna alignment procedure to maximize the system’s link capture
envelope/angle.
Beep rate will increase as a function of RSSI; a higher value will cause a faster
beep rate. To assist with both coarse and fine tuning, the beep rate is NOT a
simple function of RSSI value. Rather, the rate will continue to increase as long
as adjustments deliver an improved RSSI. As soon as any degradation
(alignment ‘overshoot’) is detected, the beep rate quickly falls, regardless of
the amount of reduction. Thus, the system is useful for both coarse and fine
tuning of the antenna position.
To ensure the system will deliver adequate link reliability, it is recommended
that the operator verify the numerical RSSI following antenna alignment, rather
than relying solely upon the audible beep rate.
The audible function is enabled for the first 30 minutes of operation following a
power cycle.
Alignment Page: An alternative tool to assist with antenna alignment is the
Antenna Alignment page. Navigate to Installation -> Antenna Alignment to
display the following page:
On this page is a dynamic display of the RF link state and local RSSI, in both
numerical and graphical format. In addition to displaying current RSSI, the bar
graph format has an auto-scale function which tracks the minimum and
maximum achieved RSSI values since power-up.
10. Verifying Operation
The basic status of the unit can be viewed in the Main Status screen:
This screen updates periodically and thus displays current field values.
Navigate to the Configuration screen if setting changes are necessary.
Three noteworthy items:
Up Time The elapsed time that the unit has been running since the last reboot
or power cycle.
MAC Address The MAC address of the local unit.
11
RF Port Link State The link state has two values.
Green – An RF link has been established
Red – an RF link is NOT established.
Each of the ports also has its own, detailed status screen. For the Ethernet Port
status, navigate to the details button located on the far right side. The screen
below is typical:
MTU Size The maximum datagram size that the system is able to transmit.
Note that this refers to Ethernet payload not total Ethernet frame size.
State: There are two states, Green – Port Up. Red – Port Down.
Total Frames: total number of frames received and transmitted by the
Ethernet port.
Total Octets: total number of octets (bytes) received and transmitted by the
Ethernet port.
The RF Port (navigate to the details button on the Main Status screen next to
each client’s description) also has its own detailed screen:
12
Key fields for this screen include:
Master / Slave MAC: The RF port MAC address of the Master and Slave unit.
Link State: Green if a link is established and Red if not.
Local RSSI: Receive Signal Strength as received by unit currently being
managed. For reliable link operation, RSSI should be a minimum of 6-10 dB
above the radio’s receive sensitivity.
Total Frames: Total number of aggregated RF data frames received and sent
by the unit. Note: this number should not be expected to match the Ethernet
frames count. Packet framing, aggregation and QoS operations will all affect
the manner in which data is transported from Ethernet to RF port.
Data Packets: Total number of data packets prior to aggregation, on the
transmit side, and following de-aggregation, on the receive side.
Receive Errors: Total number of errored frames received by the local unit.
Note: RF Frames which are significantly damaged can not be accurately
attributed to a paired radio and will not affect this count.
Transmit Errors: Total number of frames transmitted by the local radio that
were not successfully acknowledged by the remote radio.
Errors of this type can be attributed to two causes: (a) Data packet not
received by remote radio, or (b) Acknowledgement packet not received by local
radio.
It is often instructive to compare RX and TX error counts so that RF
impairments can be isolated to the appropriate link direction and radio.
11. Quality of Service (QoS)
For the transport of real-time data, such as VoIP or streaming video, a QoS
system provides end-to-end prioritization of pre-tagged Ethernet frames.
The QoS system relies upon the originating network device/appliance to tag
frames using an 802.1p VLAN priority tag
As a frame enters the Radio, a line speed tag inspection is performed and
frames are prioritized as follows:
a. A priority queuing method assigns tagged frames to one of the 4 priority
queues, allowing higher priority data to then be pushed onto the RF stack
ahead of lower priority frames. Tagged frames are assigned to queues
based on the following tag matrix:
Voice Video Normal Background
Tag Method
802.1p 0x3 0x2 0x0 0x1
0x7 0x6 0x4 0x5
b. Once on the RF stack, the RF MAC gives prioritized frames early access to
the ‘air’ resulting in the frames being delivered sooner to the receiving
radio.
Notes:
• The QoS system does not add or alter priority tags
• QoS is always ‘enabled.’
• For best results, all network devices (switches, routers, gateways)
between source and destination devices should be QoS aware.
13
12. VLAN Access
A VLAN configuration section is available under Configuration -> Advanced.
Units will bridge VLAN frames transparently at all times. That is, all frames
tagged with VLAN IDs will be recognized and passed though the system. The
unit will NOT tag or strip VLAN ID’s.
The VLAN feature option affects the accessibility of the Radio’s user interface
by Management computers from within a VLAN.
Enable/Disable. If access to the Web GUI will be from a PC within a VLAN,
then this feature should be Enabled. If access is from a PC outside of a VLAN,
then this feature should be disabled.
VLAN ID: The ID should be set to match the VLAN ID used on your
management PC. This setting does not affect any other VLANs running on your
network or the ability to pass VLAN traffic.
13. Telnet
Using the SkyWay radio’s IP address, the system can be managed using a
Telnet connection.
Access login and password are the same for the Telnet session as for the HTTP
GUI.
Sessions can be initiated from both the Ethernet and RF side of the Network,
and multiple sessions are permitted.
Note: the ‘savecfg’ command must be used to save Telnet configuration
changes to non-volatile memory.
See Appendix B for a complete Telnet command set, syntax and usage.
14
14. SNMP
The SkyWay management system includes support for SNMP v1 and v2c via
standard and private MIB tables.
Navigate to Management -> SNMP access the SNMP Configuration screen:
SNMP Enable: For security purposes, the SNMP engine can be disabled, if not
used.
Community Names and Trap Manager IP Address fields should be entered
based on the configuration of your SNMP Manager software.
Please refer to the User Manual of your SNMP Manager software for detailed
information on establishing and managing units via SNMP.
For further questions and to obtain Solectek’s private MIB, please contact
technical support.
15. Network Time
Using the NTP protocol, the SkyWay Excel radio can be time synchronized to
other network devices.
To setup this feature, navigate to Configuration -> Advanced to access the
Date and Time feature configuration:
To time synchronize the radio, the NTP server IP address must be established
and the ‘sync’ button pressed. If connection is successful, the local time/date
will be updated to match NTP time.
An NTP resync will occur automatically twice per day.
If the NTP server is off-line, time is still kept locally on the radio. However, a
reboot of the unit will blank the time. A re-connection to the NTP server or
manual re-configuration of the time is required to correct the time/date.
Time zone information must be entered manually as a fixed offset from UTC.
Once entered, this information is stored in non-volatile local memory and does
not need to be re-entered.
All changes should be followed by a ‘Submit’ to make active.
15
16. Password Management
Navigate to Management -> Password to access the Login configuration
screen:
Enter New Password: Enter the new password.
Confirm Password: Re-enter the new password for confirmation.
At the time of the first password change, a password ‘hint’ prompt will be
displayed.
Once established, this hint answer can be used to reset the admin password, if
it has been forgotten, via the ‘recover’ Telnet login, as follows:
> Login: recover
> Password: (default)
Once logged in as ‘recover’, the hint will be given. Upon successful answer, the
admin password can then be changed.
It is strongly advised that the admin password, and hint answer
be recorded and stored in a secure location.
Notes:
(a) Password & hint fields are case sensitive and no spaces are allowed.
(b) Password & hint can be up to 16 characters in length.
(c) Legal characters are: all alphanumerics, plus the following symbols:
@ (at sign) _ (underscore) - (dash) . (period)
16
17. Upgrading the Software
There may be newer software releases from Solectek periodically. The latest
version will be posted on Solectek’s website and available from Solectek
Technical Support.
The software is comprised of three sections: Firmware, Kernel and Bootloader.
However, only a single upgrade operation is required to bring all three up to the
latest revision.
Upgrading the software will not affect the system configuration, but does
require a short period of system downtime to complete the process.
NOTE: A PC based FTP server program running on a locally connected
PC is required to complete the following upgrade procedure. Solectek
recommends FileZilla, a free, open-source FTP server program available via
http://filezilla-project.org/
Once the FTP server is installed, the following procedure should be followed:
1. Copy .zip software release package from Solectek website or Technical
Support to FTP Server desktop.
2. Unzip / extract files to any convenient directory.
3. Navigate into the extracted fileset to reach the SetupFirmware.exe tool.
4. Launch tool by double-clicking on tool icon; the following screen will be
displayed:
5. Press the ‘Browse’ button and select the local FTP server Home Directory.
6. Press the ‘Start’ button. This begins a file copy operation and ensures that
all upgrade files and folders are properly moved into the FTP directory.
7. On the Radio management GUI, navigate to Management -> Upgrade to
access the Upgrade screen (see sample below).
8. Enter the FTP Server IP Address, Username and Password information as
requested.
9. Enter the three digit software version to be loaded onto the Radio. Format
will be x.y.0 (e.g – 1.3.0).
10. Press the ‘Upgrade’ button to begin the file transfer process.
11. Once complete, the unit must be rebooted for the upgrade to take effect.
Do not power down or unplug the unit during the upgrade
process.
17
18. System Reboot
Navigate to Reboot to access the System Reboot function:
Click on the Reboot button to reset/reboot. The reboot process will take
approximately 25 seconds. Once the rebooting is done, you can use the Click
Here button below to access the user interface again.
19. Event Log
The Event Log displays all major events that may be noteworthy for the system
administrator for both monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.
Navigate to Status -> Event Log to access the Event Log Screen:
There are three categories of events:
Notice: This is informational in monitoring the operation of the unit. A Notice
entry is part of the normal operation.
WARN: This may indicate something wrong with the unit or operation. For
example, downing of the RF port may be due to malfunction or the user
intervention (power off).
ERROR: This is indicative of abnormal operating conditions.
18
20. Log/Configuration Transfer
For diagnostic purposes, the Event Log and System Configuration database can
be transferred from the Radio to a local PC via FTP.
Navigate to Diagnostics -> File Upload to access the following screen:
FTP Server IP Address: Local FTP server address.
User Name: User name used to login onto the FTP server.
Password: Password used to login onto the upgrade FTP server.
File Directory: Location on Local FTP server to save Event and Configuration
files.
21. Diagnostics
For diagnostics, navigate to Diagnostics => Time/Ping menu to view the
following:
The ping diagnostics tool on the unit can be used to isolate the troubleshooting
event to the wireless link only, not involving other network elements such as
switches and host computers. You can ping the remote unit from the unit you
are accessing via the user interface.
Destination Addr: The IP address of the device to be pinged.
Packet Size: The size of the ping packets to be sent (in bytes).
