• Click OK on the above Windows screen and the Main Status screen will be displayed, as

shown below (Master unit version):

4. Bench testing

Before mounting units into their final location, it is recommended that the system be bench

tested to verify basic operation. The following bench test 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).

WARNING – DO NOT connect two radios to the same switch or a loop will be

created, which will create a failure of the

NOTE – Make sure that Access Control MAC addresses are correct and that

units share the same bandwidth, data rate and security settings. Access Control

List (ACL) is enabled as a factory default setting.

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 bench testing, antennas should not be pointed

directly at each other. Rather, establish a position so there is approximately 180 degrees

angular separation and 6 to 10 feet between units. 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.

• Traffic test. Using IPERF or equivalent utility, verify traffic can be passed successfully

across the link.

NOTE - Keep in mind that the SkyWay-XL100t data rates will stress the

performance of the PC hardware, operating system and IP stack. To ensure that

this test equipment is not a performance bottleneck, pre-testing PCs, by connecting

them directly to each other, is strongly recommended.

NOTE -Using a file transfer to a shared volume or an FTP session on a typical

Windows/Intel machine is not adequate to accurately measure throughput.

NOTE - Units bench tested in an indoor configuration should not be

expected to deliver full rated throughput. Benchmarking is typically

performed after a system is deployed.

WARNING – When it is not in use, the GPS port of the GPS-ready Master unit

must be sealed to prevent water intrusion. The port is factory configured with a

sealing pin. Please leave it in place until you are ready to connect to a GPS

controller.

5. Physical Installation

5.1 Introduction

Your SkyWay radio is designed with a mounting system with two degrees of freedom. 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.

To mount a SkyWay-XL100t radio unit, both the mast mounting kit and Ethernet cable

feedthrough need to be correctly assembled. The recommended approach consists of 3 or 4

steps, detailed in the following sections:

• Ethernet cable / feedthrough assembly

• Bracket preparation

• Mounting

• Antenna mounting (for connectorized units, only)

With the exception of the CAT5 cable, all parts and hardware described in the following sections

are included with your SkyWay radio.

5.2 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:

Assembly Steps:

1. Remove the Compression Nut and slip it over the Ethernet CAT5 cable as shown below.

2. 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.

3. 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 - Removal of the RJ45 plug from the radio requires a tool such as a thin

screwdriver, or opened paperclip. Care must be taken not to damage the

Feedthrough Body or RJ45 plug.

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 applied around the assembled fitting to further enhance

durability.

5.3 Mounting Bracket and Tools

The following figure shows all components of the mounting kit.

The installation steps will be shown in the next section.

Tools necessary for tightening bolts and nuts are:

• 10mm wrench for bolts to fasten the L-bracket to the radio enclosure

• 13mm wrench for nuts to tighten U-bolt nuts.

5.4 Unit Mounting

The final installation step involves mounting your SkyWay radio to an outdoor mast.

Refer to the following diagram to perform the installation steps:

• Fasten the L-bracket on the back of the radio enclosure. The hole patterns are

symmetric and you can rotate the enclosure by 90 degrees before installing the L-

bracket for establishing the radio link with horizontal polarization.

• Using the step bracket and U-bolt, fasten the L-bracket to the mast.

Azimuth alignment – Rotate the enclosure assembly in the horizontal direction

Vertical alignment - The L-bracket has a curved groove which can be used to tilt the enclosure

up or down.

Once the alignment is complete, tighten the bolts and nuts firmly.

5.3 Mounting of Separate Antennas

Tower or mast mounting of the antenna should proceed according to the antenna

manufacturer’s guidelines.

For interfacing to the Solectek radio, the following should be considered:

• To minimize loss, only short lengths of high quality, LMR-400 (or equivalent) RF coax

cables should be used.

• For Master unit radios, there are no requirements to connect specific radio ports to

specific polarizations on the antenna. Solectek’s MIMO system will auto-adjust to

accommodate the chosen configuration.

Weatherproofing Ethernet and/or antenna connections is essential. This process prevents water

from entering the chassis or cables through the connectors.

In order to provide an adequate seal, it is advisable to apply three wrappings:

1. electrical tape

2. sealant (such as the butyl mastic which is provided with the product)

3. electrical tape

The first wrapping of tape should be a single layer, followed by a generous wrap of butyl

mastic. Finally, apply two layers of electrical tape, completely covering the mastic layer. Wrap

the last layer of tape such that water is always directed down and away from connections.

6. IP Configuration

Navigate to Configuration -> Basic to access the Basic Configuration screen. The top one is

for the Master unit and the bottom one is for the Slave unit.

• System Name This is an optional 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. Name can be up to 32 characters

long, and consist of all alphanumerics, plus the following symbols: @ (at sign), -

(dash), .(period), ‘ (tick), _ (underscore). Name may not include spaces.

LAN /Default Gateway 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.

7. Wireless Configuration

Navigate to Configuration -> Wireless to access the Wireless Configuration screen. This

screen is for initial parameter settings only (for Slave unit configuration, go to Configuration ->

Clients). The top screen shown below is for the Master unit and the bottom one is for the Slave

unit:

Bandwidth Allows selection of the bandwidth (BW), in MHz, of the RF network. The standard

channel is 10 MHz and there are two channels with 20MHz bandwidth.

Both Master and Slave units must be configured with the same Bandwidth setting.

Frequency Allows selection of the center frequency of the RF link, based on the model

purchased, region of operation and operating bandwidth. The Frequency setting is available on

the Master unit only. The slave unit will follow that of the Master unit.

A sample frequency list for the US FCC ITS band, is as follows:

Channel Number and BW Frequency Center Application Product

# 172 – 10MHz 5860 MHz XL5910 and XL5930

# 174 – 10MHz 5870 MHz XL5910 and XL5930

# 176 – 10MHz 5880 MHz XL5910 and XL5930

# 178 – 10MHz 5890 MHz XL5910 and XL5930

# 180 – 10MHz 5900 MHz XL5930 Only

# 182 – 10MHz 5910 MHz XL5930 Only

# 184 – 10MHz 5920 MHz XL5910 and XL5930

# 175 – 20MHz 5875 MHz XL5930 Only

# 181 – 20MHz 5905 MHz XL5930 Only

NOTE – Due to the FCC EIRP regulations, XL5910 PTP kits with 23 dBi antenna

cannot be used in certain channels as indicated above (#180, 182, 175, and 181).

Link Distance Should be set to the link distance, rounded up to the nearest mile or km. This

parameter is used to optimize the performance across long distance links, accounting for the

time of flight of packets from one side to the other.

RF Network Name The wireless network name assigned to this PTP kit only.

NOTE - The RF Network Name should be changed from the default settings, and

each PTP link should use a unique RF Network Name.

NOTE - RF Network Name can be up to 32 characters long, and consist of all

alphanumerics, plus the following symbols: @ (at sign) - (dash) . (period) ‘ (tick) _

(underscore). RF Network Name may not include spaces.

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 chosen RF modulation and the regulatory entities in each country. The available values are

6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 dBm

Modulation Used to establish the transmit modulation and FEC rate of the OFDM radio. The

higher the modulation setting (or “density”), the higher the link data rate, but the lower the

receive sensitivity.

From lowest to highest data rates, the available modulation/FEC settings are:

• BPSK- ½

• QPSK- ½

• QPSK- ¾

• QAM16- ½

• QAM16- ¾

• QAM64- ⅔

• QAM64- ¾

• AUTO

From the above screen on the Master unit, Tx/Rx modulations for each client can be set

individually. The values can be a specific modulation type or AUTO, using the ACM feature

shown below.

Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) The AUTO setting above will enable the ACM

function in the network. This feature allows the system to determine the best TX modulation and

MIMO settings based on current RF conditions. At power-up (or reset), the ACM function will

begin operation at the most robust modulation and MIMO settings (BPSK-1/2, 1 stream). If link

conditions warrant, higher order settings will be tested and selected for use.

The ACM function operates continuously, i.e. – if RF link conditions change, then the

modulation and MIMO settings will respond in order to maximize link capability without

compromising reliability.

The system relies upon user traffic to determine the optimal modulation settings. When ACM is

enabled, user traffic must be available in order to bring link performance up to its maximum

capability.

ACM is a feature that is enabled on a per-radio basis. It is not necessary for both radios to

share the same state ACM enable/disable configuration.

ACM seeks to optimize the TX modulation of the radio on which it has been enabled. Since RF

conditions may not be the same on either side of the link, due to impairments such as

interference, the system may not select the same TX modulation/MIMO settings for each side.

The RF power settings will not be adjusted by the ACM system.

If the RF power is set above one of the power/modulation thresholds listed in the Transmit

Power section, the ACM system will not likely reach higher order modulations. For example, if

the radio power is set to 23dBm, then the ACM will not be capable of achieving QAM16 or

QAM64 operation.

Tx Streams The power of MIMO technology rests on the ability to define the number of data

streams that are carried across the two (2) RF links. At all times, the XL100t radios utilize 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. XL100t systems are fixed

to 1 stream operation only.

In a 2 stream configuration, unique data is carried across each RF chain, 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 that both Master unit and Slave unit share the same Modulation and Stream

settings.

8. Access Control

In order to match up with the Slave unit, the Master unit must be configured properly for the

Slave unit. Navigate to Configuration -> ACL on the Master unit to access the following screen:

Access Control List (ACL) – enabling the ACL means that the Master unit only accepts Slave

unit whose MAC addresses are registered at the Master unit. Disabling the ACL allows any

Slave unit that operates with the same RF parameters as the Master unit.

In order to add a new Slave unit, enter the MAC address and the client name (name of your

choice) and click the ADD button.

9. Security

Navigate to Configuration -> Security to access the Security Configuration screen a shown

below.

Three security 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 the

“Open” setting, there is still a MAC address based Access Control system which provides a

basic level of security. (See the section on Access Control)

WPA2/AES: Provides 128-bit WPA2/AES data encryption with passphrase/shared-key based

authentication.

Radius: This option combines AES data encryption with Radius/802.1x authentication capability,

compatible with MS-CHAPv2/EAP authentication servers.

NOTE

- AES passphrase and Radius identity / secret / password fields are case

sensitive with no spaces allowed. Passphrase must be between 8 and 63

characters in length. The shared-key must be 64 Hex digits.

NOTE

- Radius identity must contain an ‘@’ symbol, and is typically in email

address format.

10. Spectrum Analysis

Once the radio has been mounted in its intended location, an embedded RF spectrum analysis

tool can be used to survey the site and to aid with the initial channel selection process.

Prior to enabling a spectrum analysis session, ensure that the units are mounted at the desired

location and aligned in the general direction of the target radio.

NOTE - If a noise and interference only analysis is desired, do not turn on the

remote unit during the spectrum analysis, as the presence of the remote unit will

affect the sweep data.

NOTE - Enabling a spectrum sweep will disable RF traffic until (a) the scan is

manually stopped, (b) the run time set by the user runs out or (c) the 5 minute test

period is complete. The 5 minute test period is based the US channel plan (FCC).

International channel plans with larger number of channels may take longer time.

Click Installation -> Spectrum Analysis on the Toolbar to access the Spectrum Analysis

screen:

In the example screen shown above, the scan shows high levels of interference at 5755 and

5835 MHz, and these channels would be unsuitable choices for satisfactory performance. While

any of the remaining 20 MHz channels would be preferable, the channel centered on 5795 is a

better candidate, as it is further from the strongest interferers.

There are two display options (Current/Peak and Average/Peak) to assist with analysis.

Alternating between the two modes will not erase the collected data.

There are also two scan modes. The first, Clear Results, removes all historical scan data and

reports only information gathered during the current scan. Alternatively Append Results can be

selected if displaying aggregated results across multiple scans is desired.

To begin spectrum analysis, click Start button. The unit will scan through the available channels

and display the results on the bottom of the screen. Numerical results, measured in absolute

power (dBm) will indicate the interference and noise levels based on received signals from each

channel. The blue bar indicates either the current or average power level (depending on mode

selected) and the red bar indicates peak power received during the test interval.

After 5 minutes of scanning, the radio will automatically disable the scan and return to normal

operation when the configured Run Time expires. A scan can be terminated sooner by clicking

the Stop button on radios with local Ethernet access.

11. Antenna Alignment

SkyWay XL100t contains several tools to aid with the antenna alignment process that is

essential for Slave units.

Audible Alignment: The radio produces an audible tone allowing antenna alignment without

the need for additional monitoring hardware.

CAUTION - A ping, or other network traffic is needed to ensure reliable operation

of the alignment feature, in which case the Activity indicated will be in a green state.

If no network traffic is detected, the Activity indicator will be in a red state.

The pulsed tone will begin once an RF link has been established, regardless of quality. It is

useful to reduce the RF modulation setting to its lowest value (BPSK) during the antenna

alignment procedure to maximize the system’s link capture envelope/angle.

The audible repetition rate will increase as RSSI improves; a higher value will cause a faster

rate. To assist with both coarse and fine tuning, the 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 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.

The audible function is enabled for the first 30 minutes of operation following a power cycle. If

desired, the audible function can be manually disabled using the telnet command: set

audioalign 0 or via the Alignment Page (below).

Regardless of whether the audible function is enabled or disabled, the unit will emit a short

audible tone upon initial power-up.

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.

NOTE – Fluctuations in RSSI values up to ±2 dB should be expected. This should

be considered normal behavior of the radio.

12. Verifying Operation

12.1 Main Status Screen

The basic status 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.

There are several noteworthy items:

Software Version The currently installed, operating image version.

System Location Each radio unit included a built-in GPS module and the administrator can

locate the unit’s location real-time for asset tracking purposes. The current GPS coordinates are

displayed here and clicking the hyperlink will open up a Google map in another window such as

the following:

Up Time The elapsed time that the unit has been running since the last reboot or power cycle.

Ethernet Port – details of the Ethernet port status can be viewed by clicking the details on the

right side of the screen. The actual screen is shown in Section C below. The Ethernet Port MAC

address is shown for diagnostics purposes, but has no effect on the Master unit to client

wireless connection.

RF Port – The RF Port MAC address is what is used by access control and thus must be

entered into the access control list at the Master unit.

State (RF Port) The link state has two values.

Green – An RF link has been established

Red – An RF link is NOT established.

Clicking on the details button on the Ethernet port and RF port will show the following screen.

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. This parameter is not user configurable.

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:

RF Info – This section shows values seen from local and remote unit. Values are displayed

from its own perspective. Local RSSI, for example, means the RSSI read from the local receiver.

Tx Streams – This indicates whether the unit is being operated with 1 data stream or 2 data

streams over the RF channel. The ACM operation is indicated by the designation of an ‘A’ in

parenthesis. Fixed operation is indicated by an ‘F.’

Local Statistics – These are values experienced by the local unit. Receive Column details

values at the local unit receiver and Transmit Column details values at the local unit transmitter.

Throughput – Please note that the throughput value displayed here do not refer to the radio

link capacity. Rather, it refers to the instantaneous throughput over a short time period

measured by the unit. The value here is meaningful for estimating the traffic amount if such

traffic can be sustained over some time period. Due to framing overhead, actual IP throughput

will be less.

Total Frames: Total number of aggregated RF data frames received and sent by the unit.

NOTE – Total Frames number from RF port 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 - When diagnosing link problems, it’s useful to clear the RF statistics and

allow 5-20 minutes of new data to accumulate. This will provide an accurate

picture of the current link conditions. On occasion, it may be useful to sample a

longer time period, up to 24 hours in some cases, as the influence of external

interference sources can vary across time due to usage patterns. In many situations, some

amount of errors may be expected and unavoidable.

NOTE - RF Frames which are significantly damaged can not be accurately

attributed to a paired radio and will not be counted towards receiver errors.

NOTE - Some amount of error is expected and unavoidable in most wireless link.

Retransmissions will be transparently handled by the radios and by any TCP-IP

hosts connected to the link. For evaluating link quality, the figure of interest is the

Frame Error Rate, which can be obtained by dividing the number of errored frames

by the total number of frames.

In general, a Frame Error Rate less than 10% will have little or no noticeable effect on

throughput.

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 from remote radio not received by local radio.

NOTE -

Because the SkyWay XL100t radio is a TDD system and uses the same

frequency for both transmit and receive, it is often instructive to compare RX and

TX error counts on both sides of the link so that RF impairments can be isolated to

the appropriate link direction and radio.

For example, if Radio A has a large number of TX errors and Radio B has a large number of RX

errors, one could conclude that the RF link from A => B was impaired. Sources of potential

interference at Radio B could then been investigated.

Bridging Status of the RF and Ethernet ports can be monitored by going to Status->Bridging:

13. Quality of Service (QoS)

Introduction

The XL100t QoS model is based on the Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME). This is also

known as Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) and is a Wi-Fi Alliance inter-operability certification, derived

from the IEEE 802.11e standard. It provides basic Quality of service (QoS) features to IEEE

802.11 networks. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four Access Categories (AC) - voice,

video, best effort, and background. However, it does not provide guaranteed throughput.

QoS Implementation in Access

The software driver basically classifies the PDU's based on VLAN priority (if present) and IP

Precedence bits. The first classification is with VLAN priority bits. If the incoming traffic has a

VLAN ID present the classification is done as shown in the figure and table below.

VLAN P

0 Best Effort

2 Background

3 Best Effort

6 Voice

7 Voice

After the VLAN classification, the IP packets are classified according to Precedence bits (3 bits)

of the IP TOS field. These precedence bits map to Diff Serve Code Points (DSCP) bits (DS5-

DS3). Bits 0 and 1 of the TOS field are reserved and are always 0.

If there is no classification, (no VLAN and IP TOS 0) the packet falls under the Best Effort class.

If the packet has both VLAN and IP precedence values, the maximum of the two priorities

(VLAN/IP) is used.

The following table shows the mapping of class of service on various DSCP/TOS values.

Queue mapping

The table below shows the mapping of different types of traffic to hardware queues. The

Hardware MAC consists of 10 Queues starting from 0 to 9. Highest priority Queue is 9 and

typically used for beacons. Next highest priority is 8 and is associated with beacon gated frames.

The remaining 8 queues are used for different types of traffic classes. XL100t only uses queues

0-3 and 9.

14. Advanced Modes

An advanced configuration section is available under Configuration -> Advanced, as shown

below, the top picture is for the base and the bottom picture is for the Slave unit:

Network Mode

The PTP system has two MAC layer operating modes:

Polling MAC: Polling MAC is superior when the application case involves heavy traffic.

Private Network Mode: In certain situations, customers may prefer to use Private network

Mode. For example, performance may be better in a private network where there is a lot of

Slave unit to Slave unit traffic (office branches, server located at a Slave unit building, etc)

GPS Mode: This mode should be used when there are co-located Master units at the same time.

In order to use this mode, the Master unit must be a GPS-ready version, e.g. AS5802 instead of

AS5800. The GPS port on the Master unit must be connected to a GPS sync controller.

• Frame – This refers to the time slot (frame) duration that the Master unit allows for each

downlink / uplink cycle. The default value is 10ms. The other choice is 20ms.

• DL/UL Ratio – Each time slot is divided into downlink traffic (DL) and a uplink traffic (UL).

The default is 5:5 (most Enterprise network). Available DL/UL radios are 9:1, 8:2, 7:3,

6:4, 5:5, 4:6, 3:7, 2:8, and 1:9.

The concepts of frame sizes and DL/UL ratios are explained in the following diagram. The

Master unit operates in a 10ms or 20ms cycle during which downlink and uplink portions are

defined by the DL/UP ratio. During the downlink portion, the Master unit will send data to Slave

units using polling MAC and then the Master unit switches to the uplink portion and Slave units

will send data during that portion of the cycle. This cycle continues during the period defined by

the frame size (10ms or 20ms).

DL/UP ratios should be set in accordance with the application. For example, ISP networks tend

to be downlink heavy with subscriber downloading web contents. In that case, the 7:3 ratio may

be appropriate. For IP camera backhaul, the traffic is dominated by uplink traffic coming from

cameras attached to Slave units. In that case, the 2:8 ratio may be suitable.

The longer 20ms frame size reduces the overhead and increase the throughput, but the

drawback is a higher overall latency due to longer cycles. It may not be suitable for latency-

sensitive, real-time applications.

CAUTION – Extreme ratios such as 9:1 and 1:9 should be avoided for most

applications, particularly with the 40MHz channel size operation.

System Mode

A PTP unit can be either a Master unit or Slave unit. One side must be chosen as Master and

the other as Slave. The functions are very similar between the two units, but the Master unit has

a few more control parameters, for which the Slave unit will follow the Base configuration.

Management Access

Via 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.

WARNING - Enabling Management Access via VLAN will lock-out HTTP and

Telnet access if attempting to connect from a PC without the proper VLAN

configuration. Access to units with an unknown VLAN configuration can be

recovered through the use of Solectek’s Recovery utility software on radios running

recent revisions of software. Check with Solectek Support for details.

Ethernet Configuration – This section allows users to configure the Ethernet port manually,

particularly for interfacing with older hardware. Solectek strongly recommends using auto-

negotiation default mode in most cases.

NOTE - Autonegotiation is REQUIRED for 1000BASE-T operation, per the IEEE

802.3-2002 standard: "a) To negotiate that the PHY is capable of supporting

1000BASE-T half duplex or full duplex transmission. b) To determine the

MASTER-SLAVE relationship between the PHYs at each end of the link."

15. Telnet

Using the radio’s IP address, the system can be managed using a Telnet connection. The login

and password are the same for a 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.

Commonly used commands include:

>status

>get rssi

>get counters

>show log

>uptime

>get <to see read commands>

>set <to see write commands>

>? <to see other commands>

See Appendix B for a complete Telnet command set, syntax and usage.

16. SNMP

The SkyWay management system includes ‘get’ support for SNMP v2c via standard and private

MIB tables. This screen is available at the Master unit only.

Navigate to Management -> SNMP to 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.

The private MIB is available on Solectek’s Support website or from Solectek Technical Support

personnel.

For further information about SNMP management, the following documents available on

Solectek’s Support Website may be helpful:

• SkyWay SNMP Usage Guide

• SNMP Objects for Monitoring SkyWay

NOTE

- SNMP community fields are case sensitive with no spaces allowed.

Fields must be between 1 and 64 characters in length.

NOTE

- Legal characters are: all alphanumerics, plus the following symbols:

@ (at sign) - (dash) . (period) ‘ (tick) _ (underscore)

17. Network Time

Using the Network Time Protocol (NTP), the SkyWay XL100t radio can be time synchronized to

an NTP v3/v4 time server as defined by www.ntp.org.

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, except for the NTP Sync function, should be followed by a ‘Submit’ to make active.

18. 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.

Select the “Change” button.

The browser will popup a new login window. You must log back in to the system with the new

password.

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:

> What is the name of your favorite pet?

Upon successful answer, the admin password can then be changed.

CAUTION - It is strongly advised that the admin password, and hint answer

be recorded and stored in a secure location.

NOTE - Password & hint fields are case sensitive and no spaces are allowed.

Password & hint should be 6-32 characters in length. To avoid a ‘weak password’

warning when changing the password via Telnet, it is required that passwords

contain a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols.

19. Upgrading the Software

There may be new software releases from Solectek periodically posted on Solectek’s support

portal 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 folder that has been configured as Home

Directory in the FTP server software.

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. Once complete, the resulting

FTP file structure should appear as follows:

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. – 1.4.0).

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.

WARNING - Do not power down or unplug the unit during the upgrade

process. Software image corruption may occur if power is disrupted

during the flash write process.

If the upgrade fails to complete, or times out:

- Verify the FTP user account has read permission on the target folder.

- Verify that the FTP server’s software firewall is disabled. For example, Windows XP has an

integrated firewall that can block the upgrade.

- Retry Upgrade procedure.

20. 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 60

seconds. Once the rebooting is done, you can use the Click Here button below to access the

user interface again.

21. 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 user intervention (power off).

ERROR: This is indicative of unanticipated or erroneous operating conditions.

22. 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. The default names of these files are as follows:

CONFIG_VARS-”system_name”.MMDDYYhhmm

events-”system_name”.MMDDYYhhmm

clients-”system_name”.MMDDYYhhmm

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 to the FTP server.

Password: Password used to login to the FTP server.

File Directory: Location on Local FTP server to save Event and Configuration files. If left

blank, files will be transferred to the FTP server’s home directory.

NOTE

- FTP Username and password fields are case sensitive with no spaces

allowed. Fields must be between 1 and 32 characters in length.

NOTE

- Legal characters are: all alphanumerics, plus the following symbols:

@ (at sign) - (dash) . (period) ‘ (tick) _ (underscore)

23. Diagnostics

For access to diagnostic tools, navigate to Diagnostics => Time/Ping menu to view the

following:

The ping tool can be used to isolate an issue 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 Add: The IP address of the device to be pinged.

Packet Size: The size of the ping packets to be sent (in bytes).

Packet Count: The number of packets to be sent to the destination IP address.

Click on the Start button to initiate the ping session. Click Stop to terminate it.

You can also manage and view the status of ARP for both Master unit and Slave unit, as shown

in the screen below:
