INTRODUCTION

Headquartered in New York City since 2007, Persistent Systems LLC is a global

communications technology company which develops, manufactures and integrates

a patented and secure Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) system: Wave Relay®.

The company’s industry leading R&D team has designed wireless networking

protocols to support their cutting edge Wave Relay® system and technology. Wave

Relay® is capable of running real-time data, video, voice and other applications

under the most difﬁcult and unpredictable conditions. Their suite of products is ﬁeld

proven and utilized in Commercial, Military, Government, Industrial, Agriculture,

Mining, Oil and Gas, Robotics, and Unmanned System markets.

The Wave Relay® System is a peer-to-peer wireless MANET networking solution in

which there is no master node. If any device fails, the rest of the devices continue

to commu nicate using any remaining connectivity. By eliminating master nodes,

gateways, access points, and central coordinators from the design, Wave Relay®

delivers high levels of fault tolerance regardless of which nodes might fail. The

system is designed to maximize the capacity of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum

and to minimize the network overhead. While optimizing efﬁciency, Wave Relay®

also implements tech niques that increase multicast reliability. The advanced

multicast functionality allows the system to support both multicast voice and video

over IP.

Wave Relay® is designed to maintain high bandwidth con nectivity among devices

that are on the move. The system is scalable, enabling it to incorporate unlimited

meshed devices into the wireless network, where the devices themselves form the

communication infrastructure. Even in high ly dynamic environments, the system is

able to maintain connectivity by rapidly re-routing data. Wave Relay® “self-form”

and “self-heal” as nodes move unpredictably throughout the network, and Wave

Relay® routing adapts in less than a second to ﬂuctuations in topology and other

environmental conditions, continuously maximizing the communication performance.

Due to Wave Relay’s® architecture, deploying the system and establishing the

network are as easy as plugging in an Ethernet cable. The system operates on the

data link layer (OSI Layer 2) rather than the network layer (Layer 3), facilitating plug-

and-play operation.

Wave Relay® is a seamless wireless networking system offering a dynamic and

reliable solution for all mobile networking needs. Wave Relay® offers all of these

capabilities in an inte grated and cost-effective package.

Conﬁguration

Required

Zeroize

When a node is shipped from the factory, it is in a state that requires conﬁguration.

Nodes can be conﬁgured by using the Web Management Interface or through the

Management API.

Follow the steps under “Initial Node Conﬁguration” to put the nodes into an opera-

tional state. The basic steps required to conﬁgure a node to an operational state are:

SET ENCRYPTION KEY

A key must be set in order for a node to communicate with other nodes in the net-

work. In order for two nodes to communicate, they must share a matching encryp-

tion key and crytpo mode.

SET CHANNEL

Each radio module on a node should be assigned a center frequency and channel

width. In order for two nodes to communicate, each node must have at least one

radio that shares the same center frequency and channel width.

SET IP ADDRESS

During node conﬁguration, a node needs to be assigned a unique management IP

address. This management IP address is used for monitoring, conﬁguration, and device

services (PTT, Google™ Earth, Tracking, RS-232, etc.).

In the event that two nodes are unable to communicate after initial conﬁguration,

refer to the “Troubleshooting” section starting on page 104.

WEB MANAGEMENT INTRODUCTION

The Wave Relay® Web Management Interface enables users to conﬁgure and

monitor Wave Relay® units through a web browser. A navigation bar organizes

the Management Interface. The “Node Status” and “Node Conﬁguration” tabs

pertain only to the node to which the management computer is connected

(either by Ethernet cable or by wireless), and the “Network Status” and “Network

Conﬁguration” tabs pertain to the entire network of nodes.

ACCESSING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

WEB MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

For your computer to be able to communicate with the Wave Relay®, it must have

an IP address that is in the same IP subnet mask as the Wave Relay®’s IP address.

A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 means that the computer can communicate with

another device that has an IP address matching the ﬁrst three numbers of its own IP

address.

No Default Gateway or DNS server conﬁguration is required; however they can be

conﬁgured if necessary. Most computers are capable of having more then one IP

address conﬁgured on a single Ethernet adapter. It is recommended that you add all

three addresses to your wired Ethernet adapter so that you can easily manage your

network.

gain can be used: this device must comply with

Part 15 of the FCC rules.

FCC branded devices will be limited so users can-

not set output power levels outside of those certi-

ﬁed under the FCC rules.

FCC test results and reports can be provided by

Persistent Systems, LLC upon request.

For more information, please contact Persistent Sys-

tems, LLC Quality/Compliance personnel.

STEP 3: CONFIGURE RADIO TO USE DEFAULTS

The node must be conﬁgured to use the appropriate Network Defaults in order for

the node to be managed by changes to the Network Conﬁguration.

1. Click “Node Conﬁguration” > “Node Conﬁguration.”

2. Select the appropriate Network Defaults in the drop down menus.

3. Click the “Save & Reconﬁgure Unit” button at the bottom of the page.

For more information, see section “Conﬁguring Radio to Use Defaults.”

INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION

STEP 5: STORE CONFIGURATION FILE

Device settings (both Node Conﬁguration and Network Conﬁguration settings) can

be saved to a conﬁguration ﬁle. The conﬁguration ﬁle serves as a backup for device

settings and provides the ability to easily transfer settings from one node to another.

1. Ensure Network Conﬁguration and Node Conﬁguration settings are set as

desired.

2. Click “Node Conﬁguration” > “Conﬁg Management.”

3. Click the “Store” button. A prompt will appear to choose where to save the

conﬁguration ﬁle. Note speciﬁcally that this ﬁle contains settings (both Network

Conﬁguration and Node Conﬁguration settings) for the current device only.

STEP 4: SETUP NODE LIST

The Node List is a list of IP Addresses of

nodes managed by the Web Management

Interface.

1. Click “Network Conﬁguration” >

“Network Node List.”

2. Enter the IP Address of a node in the

“Manually Add IP(s)” ﬁeld and click

“Add” to add the node associated with

that IP Address to the Node List. Nodes

may also be added from the “Other

Nodes on Network” window if they are

detected by the network. These nodes

may be added individually with the

“Selected IPs” button or all at once with

the “All” button.

3. Repeat this process for every node to be managed.

4. With all new nodes programmed and on, ensure that all nodes are on the

Network Node List.

5. Click the “Push Management List to Network” button. This function will copy

the node list to each node in the network. Only nodes in the node list will

be affected by Network Conﬁguration functions. Pushing the node list to the

network allows network-wide settings to be managed from any node in the

network.

INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION

STEP 6: SET AND SAVE SECURITY SETTINGS

A node will not function properly unless it has a valid key. If the “Security” tab in the

Web Management Interface is blinking red, then a proper key has not been set. All

nodes in a network must use the same Crypto Mode AND Key in order to

communicate.

1. Select the “Security” tab in the Web Management Interface.

2. Select a Crypto Mode to match your network requirements.

3. Once the Crypto Mode is set, enter a key value into the ﬁeld and click “Set” or

click “Generate” to generate a random key. The new key information is stored

to the node or the network based on the setting in the “Update” menu.

For more information on Security information and selecting Crypto Mode options,

refer to the “Security” section.

The key will NOT be stored in the conﬁguration ﬁle. The key must be stored sepa-

rately.

1. Click the “Display Key” button.

2. Select OK on the warning to open the key. Since the key is displayed in plain-

text, only open the key in a secure environment.

3. Copy the key to a text ﬁle in a secure place on your management computer.

STEPS FOR CONFIGURING THE REMAINING NODES

1. Load Conﬁguration File into All Other Nodes

2. Load Key into All Other Nodes

3. Verify Nodes are Communicating

4. Push Node List to Network

5. Set Management Password

STEPS FOR CONFIGURING THE REMAINING NODES

INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION

STEP 1: LOAD CONFIGURATION FILE INTO ALL OTHER NODES

When setting up a network of new nodes from the factory, use the conﬁguration

ﬁle saved in the “Store Conﬁguration File” step to upload the settings from the

previously conﬁgured node into the new node. During this process, node speciﬁc

settings (including IP Address, Radio Name, and other radio speciﬁc settings) can

be conﬁgured separately for each node while preserving all other settings from the

conﬁguration ﬁle.

1. Click “Node Conﬁguration” > “Conﬁg Management.”

2. In the Load Conﬁguration menu, select “network (require all)” or “network (any

available)” to upload conﬁguration settings to all nodes in the network. The

“network (require all)” setting will require all nodes in the network be available

for any changes to be applied. If not all nodes are available, no changes will be

applied. The “network (any available)” setting will apply changes to available

nodes only.

3. Click the “Choose File” button to ﬁnd the the conﬁguration ﬁle saved in the

“Store Conﬁguration File” step.

4. Click the “Load” button to upload conﬁguration settings to other nodes in the

network.

STEP 2: LOAD KEY INTO ALL OTHER NODES

The security key is NOT stored in the conﬁguration ﬁle. You must load the key

separately.

1. Select the “Security” tab in the Web Management Interface.

2. In the “Set Key” box, select “network (require all)” or “network (any available)”

to upload the security key to all nodes in the network. The “network (require

all)” setting will require all nodes in the network be available for any changes

to be applied. If not all nodes are available, no changes will be applied. The

“network (any available)” setting will apply changes to available nodes only.

3. Select the Crypto Mode chosen in Step 6 of First Node Conﬁguration from the

drop-down menu.

4. Copy the security key from the text ﬁle saved in Step 6 of First Node Conﬁgura-

tion and paste the security into the “Enter key” ﬁeld. All nodes MUST have the

same security key to communicate.

INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION

STEP 3: VERIFY NODES ARE COMMUNICATING

After nodes have been conﬁgured, the connectivity of the nodes should be checked.

1. Ensure that all nodes are turned on, that at least one radio on each node has an

antenna and is set to the same channel as the other nodes, and that each node

has the same key.

2. Access one of the nodes and verify connectivity to all the nodes. Click “Node

Status” > “Neighbor Status.” The ﬁgure below displays the Node Neighbor Status,

which shows which of the node’s radios are communicating with other radios. This

ﬁgure shows that Radio 1 is communicating with one other radio in a neighbor

node.

STEP 4: PUSH NODE LIST TO NETWORK

To be able to control conﬁguration settings for the entire network from any node in

the network rather than just this node, the user must push the Node List to all other

nodes in the network.

1. Click “Network Conﬁguration” > “Network Node List” > “Push Management

List to Network.” This function will share the Node List conﬁgured on this node

with all nodes in the Node List.

INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION

STEP 5: SET MANAGEMENT PASSWORD

After all nodes have been conﬁgured, the management password should be

changed.

1. Click “Network Conﬁguration” > “Network Password.”

2. Enter the old password in the “Old Password” ﬁeld.

3. Enter the new password in both “New Password” ﬁelds.

4. Click the “Change” button to change the management password. The

management password will be changed on all nodes in the node list. The

current node list is displayed at the bottom of the page.

INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION

The Node List contains a list of nodes speciﬁed by IP Address that are controlled by

the Web Management Interface. Any function that resides under Network Status

or Network Conﬁguration operates on, and only on, the nodes listed in the node list.

In the context of Wave Relay®, the network is deﬁned as the set of nodes for which

routing is possible. These nodes do not need to be speciﬁed in the Node List. By

contrast, the Node List deﬁnes a set of Managed Nodes that are managed by the

network operations in the Web Management Interface. That list, however, does

not restrict connectivity between nodes speciﬁed in the Node List and nodes not

speciﬁed in the Node List. Therefore, the Node List is just a management tool that

deﬁnes the list of nodes on which network management functions operate.

In general, the Node List should be updated whenever the network changes in

order to ensure that every node has complete and current information and is able to

be monitored and controlled by the network operations in the Web Management

Interface.

NODE LIST

NETWORK VS MANAGED NODES DEFINED

INITIAL NODE CONFIGURATION

Network Upgrade installs new ﬁrmware versions on large numbers of nodes with

one operation. Since network upgrades function on all nodes in the Node List, make

sure the Node List is complete and current before performing a Network Upgrade.

1. Click “Network Conﬁguration” > “Network Upgrade.”

2. Browse and select the appropriate upgrade ﬁle.

3. Check or uncheck “Require All.” If checked, the update will be installed if

and only if all the nodes in the Node List are accessible. If unchecked, the

update will be installed to only those nodes in the Node List that are accessible.

Network Upgrades will cause nodes to be reconﬁgured, an operation that

causes a period of downtime. Do not perform Network Upgrades during

mission critical operations that cannot tolerate such disruptions. Under such

situations, perform Network Upgrades only during scheduled maintenance or

other appropriate times.

4. Click the “Upload” button to upgrade ﬁrmware for all nodes in the Node List.

NOTE: When upgrading or downgrading a node’s ﬁrmware, it is normal for the LED

to turn off for 30 seconds then turn on.

Do not unnecessarily disturb devices during a Network Upgrade. Loss of power

during the Network Upgrade can permanently damage a device.

BANDWIDTH TEST

Bandwidth Test is a tool for testing the

data throughput from the node to another

node in the network. It is recommended

to perform at least a 5 second throughput

test.

Wave Relay® nodes run a TCP iPerf server.

To perform a TCP throughput test through

the iPerf server, use the command “iperf

-c X” (X is the IP address of the node) from

the command line.

WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

TO PERFORM A THROUGHPUT TEST:

1. Select destination node for throughput test from drop-down menu. Desired

destination node must be in Node List for it to appear on this menu.

2. Check or uncheck “Upload only test.” If this box is checked, throughput test will

only test upload to destination node.

3. Enter desired throughput test duration (in seconds) into “Test Duration” ﬁeld.

Caution: during tests of long duration, data will continue to be sent for the full

speciﬁed duration even if a different data ﬂow is started or the web browser is

exited.

WARNING: Windows has known issues running iPerf and does not give true

bandwidth readings. Contact Persistent Systems for more information.

PULL ALL MULTICAST: Node will accept all multicast packets it hears

on the network. Note: Windows CE/XP computers do not respond

to IGMP Multicast Group Queries sent by Wave Relay nodes. “Pull All

Multicast” should be used in networks with Windows CE/XP computers

to work around this issue.

Root Gateway

Priority

(advanced)

HIGH: Any node in your network directly connected to wired

infrastructure should have priority set to “HIGH.”

MEDIUM: All other non-mobile routers should be set to “MEDIUM.”

LOW: Mobile routers should be set to “LOW.”

DHCP Server

Filter

(advanced)

ALLOW: Device will pass DHCP messages FROM a DHCP server which

is bridged directly by one of its interfaces. Only the devices which are

directly wired to the switch where the DHCP server resides need to be

set to “ALLOW.”

BLOCK: Device will not bridge any DHCP reply packets that it picks

up off of any of its bridged interfaces. By setting all of the nodes in

the network (except the nodes physically connected to the real DHCP

server) to “BLOCK,” you will ensure that users of your system will

always use the correct DHCP server.

SNAP OUI

(advanced)

Controls the Subnetwork Access Protocol Organizationally Unique

Identiﬁer - The factory OUI, 0018A6, is registered to Persistent Systems,

LLC with the IEEE. SNAP OUI is used to identify Wave Relay® packets.

Changing this ﬁeld allows the user to obscure which protocol is being

used by the system. All nodes must be set to the same value or they will

not communicate.

RADIO CONFIGURATION

(ADVANCED RADIO SETTINGS)

MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION

Max Transmit Power

(advanced)

Max Transmit Power will control the radio’s maximum output

power. In general, this conﬁguration is only used to reduce the

output power of a radio for regulatory compliance reasons. The

factory default setting should provide the best communication

performance (highest power) in all other situations.

MAC Address

(advanced)

A custom MAC address may be used for this radio. The entered

value MUST be different from ALL other radio MAC addresses

used in the same network or with the same encryption key. All

radios are factory conﬁgured with a globally unique MAC. Since

the MAC address is unencrypted, using a custom MAC that is

periodically changed can help prevent identiﬁcation and tracking

of the same device across multiple uses.

WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

Frequency Each radio should be a assigned a frequency. Two radios must be set to

the same frequency in order to communicate. If the radio is conﬁgured

to use a “Network Default” channel, the radio’s channel assignment can

be managed globally by clicking “Network Conﬁguration” > “Network

Defaults.” Ensure that the frequency is set to match the radio installed

in the unit. A warning will be displayed if the frequency setting does not

match the radio hardware.

Bandwidth Each radio should be assigned a bandwidth. Two radios must be set to

the same bandwidth in order to communicate. Bandwidth should be

increased for shorter distances and decreased for increased distances.

Max Link Dis-

tance

The Max Link Distance should be set to the upper bound of how long

any individual link in the network may need to be. All nodes on the net-

work MUST be set to the same Max Link Distance.

Channel Density The channel density setting controls how aggressively the radios compete

for access to the shared medium. A number of nodes will be displayed in

parentheses after each menu item. Choose the menu item that corre-

sponds to the number of nodes in your network.

Radio Preference Radio Preference instructs the routing protocol to prefer links on a radio

(consider them lower cost than normal). This can be used to help shift traf-

ﬁc towards radios running on certain channels.

None: None is the default factory setting. All links are considered equally.

Medium: Routing protocol is more likely to use this radio to forward

trafﬁc.

High: Routing protocol is signiﬁcantly more likely to use this radio to

forward trafﬁc.

ACCESS POINT SETTINGS

(ADVANCED)

MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION

802.11 Access Point

(advanced)

2.4GHz and 5.8GHz radios can be conﬁgured to function as an

802.11 access point. Standard clients such as laptops with built

in 802.11 cards may access this system. If the AP is disabled, the

ESSID and Beacon Interval conﬁguration options have no effect. For

maximum performance, always disable the 802.11 AP unless it is

required. To use a radio as a 802.11 Access Point, the radio MUST

be set to a valid 802.11 frequency and the channel width MUST be

set to 20MHz.

The following ﬁelds are only visible when the 802.11 Access Point is “Enabled.”

Mesh Routing (ad-

vanced)

The Mesh Routing setting enables per radio selection of which

radios participate in the multi-hop mesh routing process. In

a multi-radio node where the user may only want the mesh

running on the backhaul radios, this setting enables the user to

speciﬁcally disable the mesh on the client access radios. Be aware

that if a node is only accessible via the mesh and mesh routing is

disabled, connection will be lost to that node.

ESSID (advanced) Sets the name of the network that the access point advertises to

clients.

ESSID Visibility

(advanced)

The ESSID can be conﬁgured to be “Visible” or “Hidden.”

Generally, the ESSID is conﬁgured to be “Visible” to make it easy

for clients to connect to the access point. For additional security/

privacy the ESSID can be conﬁgured as “Hidden.”

AP Security (advanced) Enables or disables 802.11 security on the Access Point - Only

WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access v2 with pre-shared keys) is

supported.

WPA2 Passphrase

(advanced)

Sets a shared passphrase when AP Security is set to WPA2 - The

passphrase should be an ASCII string of length 8-63 characters,

excluding these characters: ‘,”\&/<>

AP Broadcast Rate

(advanced)

Controls the rate at which broadcasts are transmitted from

an 802.11 Access Point - Increasing this rate can signiﬁcantly

increase network capacity but will reduce the range of client con-

nectivity. If the rate is set too high, client devices will have trouble

receiving broadcast packets from the 802.11 access point.

WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

AP Beacon Interval

(advanced)

The 802.11 access point can send beacons at an interval between

twice and ten times per second.

VLAN ID (advanced) Each 802.11 AP is a VLAN-aware bridge port. Each port is as-

signed a VLAN ID. Untagged frames received by the port are

tagged with the speciﬁed VLAN ID. Frames that are sent by the

port which have a VLAN tag matching the speciﬁed VLAN ID will

have their tags removed (i.e. they are sent by the port untagged).

VLAN Priority (ad-

vanced)

Speciﬁes the 802.11 priority of the VLAN tag added to untagged

frames received by this port

VLAN Trunking (ad-

vanced)

Controls the ﬁltering of VLAN tagged frames that do NOT match

this port’s VLAN ID - Trunking enabled: ALL non-matching VLAN

tagged frames are passed (no ﬁltering). Trunking disabled: all

non-matching VLAN tagged frames are blocked (ﬁltered).

IP Mcast/Bcast Limit

(advanced)

Deﬁnes the maximum bandwidth allowed for IP multicast or

broadcast network trafﬁc received on the given interface and

retransmitted onto the Wave Relay® network - Trafﬁc in excess of

this limit will be dropped. Units are megabits/sec (Mbps). To disable

the limit, set to zero.

ETHERNET CONFIGURATION

MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION

Name (advanced) A name can be assigned to each Ethernet interface.

MANET Access

(advanced)

Controls whether MANET trafﬁc is available on a wired Ethernet port

- This setting is useful in cases where the node is physically situated in

an insecure location, and you want to prevent casual passersby from

eavesdropping on the MANET by physically plugging into the Ethernet

port (in this case, be sure to disable access for all wired Ethernet

interfaces on the node). The default setting is “Enabled,” i.e. the

MANET trafﬁc is available on the Ethernet port. Note: the permanent

factory IP address for the node is still available on the Ethernet

port, regardless of this setting. In addition, two Wave Relay® nodes

connected via wired Ethernet can still communicate via encrypted link

regardless of this setting.

VLAN ID

(advanced)

Each Ethernet interface is a VLAN-aware bridge port. Each port

is assigned a VLAN ID. Untagged frames received by the port are

tagged with the speciﬁed VLAN ID. Frames that are sent by the port

which have a VLAN tag matching the speciﬁed VLAN ID will have their

tags removed (i.e. they are sent by the port untagged).

WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

VLAN Priority

(advanced)

port’s VLAN ID - Trunking enabled: ALL non-matching VLAN tagged

frames are passed (no ﬁltering). Trunking disabled: all non-matching

VLAN tagged frames are blocked (ﬁltered).

IP Mcast/Bcast Limit

(advanced)

Deﬁnes the maximum bandwidth allowed for IP multicast or broadcast

network trafﬁc received on the given interface and retransmitted onto

the Wave Relay® network - Trafﬁc in excess of this limit will be dropped.

Units are megabits/sec (Mbps). To disable the limit, set to zero.

Routing Metric

(advanced)

Deﬁnes link capacity for the routing protocol - A value lower than

the 100 Mbps default should be used when nodes are connected via

non-switched Ethernet (e.g. a third-party point-to-point wireless link).

The metric allows the routing protocol to make an intelligent decision

whether it is better to route over this Ethernet port or use a faster

alternate route.

WAVE RELAY® OVER IP (WRoIP)

(ADVANCED)

WRoIP allows the Wave Relay® network to

extend over and seamlessly interact with a

large routed IP network. In order to use this

capability, one or more Wave Relay® nodes

must be setup as WRoIP gateways. A WRoIP

gateway must be directly connected to an appropriately conﬁgured IP router.

See Cloud RelayTM Manual

WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION

WRoIP

(advanced)

WRoIP gateway nodes must have the WRoIP protocol enabled on

the interface directly connected to the IP router. All other nodes

should have the WRoIP protocol disabled. When the WRoIP protocol

is enabled on an interface, the interface will no longer function as a

normal Wave Relay® Ethernet port for connecting Ethernet devices: it

will only work for connecting the IP router.

Multicast Routing

IP router interface

Gateway

(advanced)

Deﬁnes the IP address of the IP router in the IP subnet speciﬁc to the

directly connected IP router interface - WRoIP protocol packets will be

forwarded to this IP address in order to be sent over the IP network.

MTU

(advanced)

Deﬁnes the maximum transmissible unit size for the IP network - WRoIP

protocol packets sent over the IP network will be limited to this MTU.

All nodes that communicate over the IP network should be set to the

same value.

Multicast Address

NODE CONFIGURATION FOR DLEP

Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP) (advanced):

DLEP is used to transmit characteristics and metrics of the wireless network to a

connected DLEP-capable router such as the Cisco 5915. This feature is available on

all Wave Relay® versions. It supports DLEP Draft 00.

The Wave Relay® MANET operates at Layer 2 of the OSI mode. The DLEP protocol

runs between a router and its attached Wave Relay device, allowing the Wave

Relay® to communicate link characteristics as they change, and convergence events

(acquisition and loss of potential Layer 3 (L3) routing neighbors). Upon receipt of

the signal, the local router may take whatever action it deems appropriate, such

as initiating L3 discovery protocols, and/or issuing HELLO messages to converge

the network on L3. On a continuing, as-needed basis, the Wave Relay devices

utilize DLEP to report any characteristics of the link (bandwidth, latency, etc)to the

L3 router that have changed. DLEP is independent of the link type and topology

supported by the Wave Relay.

•DLEP (advanced): Enable/disable the DLEP subsystem.

•Local UDP Port (advanced): UDP port on the Wave Relay to receive DLEP trafﬁc

from the router.

•Router IP Address (advanced): Network address of the DLEP-capable router.

•Router UDP Port (advanced): UDP port on the DLEP-capable router for receiving

DLEP packets.

PUSH-TO-TALK (PTT)

Push-to-Talk (PTT) voice is supported on all Wave Relay® nodes. By default, Wave

Relay® supports single-channel PTT voice on a speciﬁed multicast IP address and port.

You can “switch channels” by specifying an alternate IP address or port. Users can talk

or listen (but cannot do both simultaneously). Transmissions from an individual user

are broadcast to all other users on the network. Only one person can talk at a time.

If a user tries to talk when another user is transmitting, a busy tone will be heard.

To conﬁgure Push-to-Talk settings, click “Node Conﬁguration” > “PTT

RS-232

WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

The RS-232 serial-over-Ethernet feature can be used for remote control of a distant

serial device via the Wave Relay® network. A typical application is for a local PC to

control a distant pan/tilt camera via a serial link. If the PC and camera cannot be

colocated, then two Wave Relay® devices can be used to connect them (similar to an

old-fashioned modem-to-modem link). Thus, the serial port on the local PC can be

hardwired to a local Wave Relay® device and the serial port on the distant camera

can be hardwired to a distant Wave Relay® device. Communication between the two

devices is then relayed via the Wave Relay® network. This is called “serial-to-serial

mode.”

Alternatively, the PC can run emulation software that allows it to create a local

virtual COM port that is conﬁgured to communicate directly with a distant network-

enabled serial port (e.g. as described in RFC 2217). Thus, the distant camera is

hardwired to a distant Wave Relay® device and the local PC can then connect

directly to the distant device via Ethernet. This is called “virtual-to-serial mode.”

To access RS-232 conﬁguration settings, click “Node Conﬁguration” > “RS-232

Conﬁguration.”

CONFIGURING SERIAL-TO-SERIAL MODE

1. Connect the serial device to be controlled (e.g. pan/tilt unit) to the serial port on

the distant Wave Relay® device. Conﬁgure the RS-232 Conﬁguration Mode on

the distant Wave Relay device to “Server” and set the Serial-over-Ethernet Port

as desired. Set the Serial-over-Ethernet Protocol to “Raw.” Set the serial port

parameters (Baud, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control) to match those of the

connected serial device (factory defaults for the Wave Relay® device are 57600

baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no ﬂow control). Click “Save” to store the

settings.

2. Connect the local serial device (e.g. PC) to the serial port on the local Wave

Relay® device. Set the RS-232 Conﬁguration Mode on the local Wave Relay®

device to “Client,” and set the Server IP Address and Serial-over-Ethernet Port

to be those of the distant Wave Relay® device as conﬁgured in Step 1 above.

Also set the serial parameters (Baud, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control)

to match those of your local serial device. Click “Save” to store the settings.

CONFIGURING VIRTUAL-TO-SERIAL MODE

1. Connect and conﬁgure the serial device to be controlled (e.g. pan/tilt unit) as

per Step 1 above for Conﬁguring Serial-to-Serial mode. Set the Serial-over-

Ethernet Protocol to whichever protocol is supported by your virtual client

(“Raw” or “Telnet RFC 2217”).

2. Install Virtual COM port software on the local PC (Eltima Serial to Ethernet

Connector v5.0 for Windows has been tested and is known to work). Conﬁgure

the virtual COM port in your software to connect to the distant serial port via

the address/port as conﬁgured in Step 1.

Once you have conﬁgured the server and client as described above, the network

connection status is displayed on the “Current Status” line. Statistics are displayed for

transmitted and received bytes to/from the attached serial device, which can be used

to debug the connection to your serial hardware. For example, if the “tx” byte count

increases but the “rx” byte count remains zero, bytes are being sent out on the Wave

Relay® serial port but no reply is being received (possibly due to reversed transmit

and receive wires in your cable). To update the status and statistics, click the “Refresh”

232 parameters (baud, parity, etc.) be set correctly at both ends.

This setting is typically used in serial-to-serial mode, e.g. when a

hardware serial controller is used to control a remote serial device.

Telnet - RFC2217 Serial messages are encapsulated into packets as per RFC2217,

and baud settings are automatically controlled by the protocol. This

setting is typically used in serial-to-virtual mode, e.g. when a PC with

virtual COM ports is used to control a remote serial device.

Baud Valid settings are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600,

or 115200.

DATE/TIME

When possible, Wave Relay® will obtain the current date and time from its internal

GPS hardware. However, in cases where the GPS is unlocked (or absent), you may

alternatively specify an NTP server or manually set the current date and time. You

may also set the local time zone. The default time zone is UTC (a.k.a. GMT or Zulu

time). Note that some Wave Relay® device models do not contain a clock, and thus

these settings may be unavailable.

Wave Relay® also supports a sleep feature that allows scheduling remote unit

power down and power up in order to conserve battery life and/or maintain radio

silence. Sleep can be performed as a one-time power cycle or can be scheduled for

repetitive daily or hourly operation. The sleep feature is not available on all Wave

Frequency Each radio should be a assigned a frequency. Two radios must be set

to the same frequency in order to communicate. A warning will be

displayed if the frequency setting does not match the radio hardware.

A node with a radio channel set to “Network Default X” in node

conﬁguration will automatically change center frequency and bandwidth

if the settings for “Network Default X” are changed in Network Default

conﬁguration.

Bandwidth Each radio should be assigned a bandwidth. Two radios must be set to

the same bandwidth in order to communicate. Bandwidth should be

increased for shorter distances and decreased for increased distances.

Max Link Dis-

tance

Max Link Distance should be set to the upper bound of how long any

individual link in the network may need to be. All nodes on the network

MUST be set to the same Max Link Distance. A node with a radio channel

set to “Network Default X” in node conﬁguration will automatically change

Max Link Distance if the settings for “Network Default X” are changed in

Network Default conﬁguration.

Channel Density The channel density setting controls how aggressively the radios

compete for access to the shared medium. A number of nodes will be

displayed in parentheses after each menu item. Choose the menu item

that corresponds to the number of nodes in your network. A node with

a radio channel set to “Network Default X” in node conﬁguration will

automatically change Channel Density if the settings for “Network Default

X” are changed in Network Default conﬁguration.

Radio Preference Radio Preference instructs the routing protocol to prefer links on a radio

(consider them lower cost than normal). This can be used to help shift

trafﬁc towards radios running on certain channels.

None: None is the default factory setting. All links are considered

equally.

Medium: Routing protocol is more likely to use this radio to forward

trafﬁc.

High: Routing protocol is signiﬁcantly more likely to use this radio to forward

trafﬁc.

A node with a radio channel set to “Network Default X” in node

conﬁguration will automatically change Radio Preference if the settings for

“Network Default X” are changed in Network Default conﬁguration.

Each radio must be a assigned a center

frequency and bandwidth. These settings

determine the “channel” on which the node

operates. Up to 16 Network Default channel

IP Multicast Routing AUTO: Node will prune multicast packets that are not requested

(default, most efﬁcient setting for network).

PULL ALL MULTICAST: Node will accept all multicast packets it hears

on the network. Note: Windows CE/XP computers do not respond

to IGMP Multicast Group Queries sent by Wave Relay nodes. “Pull

All Multicast” should be used in networks with Windows CE/XP

computers to work around this issue.

Root Gateway

Priority (advanced)

HIGH: Any node in your network directly connected to wired

infrastructure should have priority set to “HIGH.”

MEDIUM: All other non-mobile routers should be set to “MEDIUM.”

LOW: Mobile routers should be set to “LOW.”

DHCP Server Filter

(advanced)

ALLOW: Device will pass DHCP messages FROM a DHCP server

which is bridged directly by one of its interfaces. Only the devices

which are directly wired to the switch where the DHCP server resides

need to be set to “ALLOW.”

BLOCK: Device will not bridge any DHCP reply packets that it picks

up off of any of its bridged interfaces. By setting all of the nodes in

the network (except the nodes physically connected to the real DHCP

server) to “BLOCK,” you will ensure that users of your system will

always use the correct DHCP server.

SNAP OUI

(advanced)

Controls the Subnetwork Access Protocol Organizationally Unique

Identiﬁer - The factory OUI, 0018A6, is registered to Persistent Systems,

LLC with the IEEE. SNAP OUI is used to identify Wave Relay® packets.

Changing this ﬁeld allows the user to obscure which protocol is being

used by the system. All nodes must be set to the same value or they will

not communicate.

ACCESS POINT (AP) SETTINGS

(ADVANCED)

MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION

802.11 Access Point

(advanced)

Each radio can be conﬁgured to function as an 802.11 access

point. Standard clients such as laptops with built in 802.11

cards may access this system. If the AP is disabled, the ESSID

and Beacon Interval conﬁguration options have no effect. For

maximum performance, always disable the 802.11 AP unless

it is required. To use a radio as a 802.11 Access Point, the

radio MUST be set to a valid 802.11 frequency (Numbered

channels in the frequency selection menu i.e. “2412 / 5-20

MHz - Channel 1”) and the channel width MUST be set to 20

MHz.

The following ﬁelds are only visible when the 802.11 Access Point is “Enabled.”

ESSID (advanced) Sets the name of the network that the access point advertises

to clients.

ESSID Visibility (advanced) The ESSID can be conﬁgured to be “Visible” or “Hidden.”

Generally, the ESSID is conﬁgured to be “Visible” to make it

easy for clients to connect to the access point. For additional

security/privacy the ESSID can be conﬁgured as “Hidden.”

AP Security (advanced) Enables or disables 802.11 security on the Access Point - Only

WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access v2 with pre-shared keys) is

supported.

WPA2 Passphrase

(advanced)

Sets a shared passphrase when AP Security is set to WPA2

- The passphrase should be an ASCII string of length 8-63

characters, excluding these characters: ‘,”\&/<>

AP Broadcast Rate

(advanced)

Controls the rate at which broadcasts are transmitted from

an 802.11 Access Point - Increasing this rate can signiﬁcantly

increase network capacity but will reduce the range of client

connectivity. If the rate is set too high, client devices will have

trouble receiving broadcast packets from the 802.11 access

point.

AP Beacon Interval

(advanced)

The 802.11 access point can send beacons at an interval

between twice and ten times per second.

ETHERNET SETTINGS (ADVANCED)

MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION

Routing Metric (advanced) Deﬁnes link capacity for the routing protocol - A value lower

than the 100 Mbps default should be used when nodes are

connected via non-switched Ethernet (e.g. a third-party

point-to-point wireless link). The metric allows the routing

protocol to make an intelligent decision on if it is better to

route over this Ethernet port or use an alternate route which

is faster.

VLAN SETTINGS (ADVANCED)

MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION

VLAN ID (advanced) Each VLAN-aware bridge port is assigned a VLAN ID. Un-

tagged frames received by the port are tagged with the speci-

ﬁed VLAN ID. Frames that are sent by the port which have a

VLAN tag matching the speciﬁed VLAN ID will have their tags

removed (i.e. they are sent by the port untagged).

VLAN Priority (advanced) Speciﬁes the 802.11 priority of the VLAN tag added to

untagged frames received by this port

VLAN Trunking (advanced) Controls the ﬁltering of VLAN tagged frames that do NOT match

this port’s VLAN ID. When trunking is enabled (trunk port), ALL

non-matching VLAN tagged frames are passed (no ﬁltering).

When trunking is disabled (access port), all non-matching VLAN

tagged frames are blocked (ﬁltered)

Deﬁnes the maximum bandwidth allowed for IP multicast or broadcast

network trafﬁc received on the given interface and retransmitted onto the

Wave Relay® network. Trafﬁc in excess of this limit will be dropped. Units are

megabits/sec (Mbps). To disable the limit, set to zero

MENU ITEM MENU ITEM DESCRIPTION

WRoIP (advanced) WRoIP gateway nodes must have the WRoIP protocol

enabled on the interface directly connected to the IP router.

All other nodes should have the WRoIP protocol disabled.

When the WRoIP protocol is enabled on an interface, the

interface will no longer function as a normal Wave Relay®

Ethernet port for connecting Ethernet devices: it will only

work for connecting the IP router.

Multicast Routing Mode

(advanced)

Selects pruning options for multicast trafﬁc:

IP Router Controlled (default): All multicast packets travel

to the cloud network

Wave Relay Controlled: Only subscribed multicast feeds

are passed to the cloud network to reduce network trafﬁc

congestion.

Netmask (advanced) Deﬁnes the netmask of the IP subnet speciﬁc to the directly

connected IP router interface

Gateway (advanced) Deﬁnes the IP address of the IP router in the IP subnet spe-

ciﬁc to the directly connected IP router interface - WRoIP

protocol packets will be forwarded to this IP address in

order to be sent over the IP network.

Visualization

Server

(advanced)

Deﬁnes the IP address to which nodes will send their visualization updates

(may be either a multicast address [224.0.0.0,239.255.255.255] or the unicast

address of a device running the visualization server.) - The factory default is a

multicast address. When using multicast, each node sends visualization updates

to the entire connected network. All nodes run a visualization server and receive

updates from all other connected nodes. When using unicast, each node sends

visualization updates to the selected address only. If the unicast address is the

management IP address of a node, that node will run a visualization server

to receive the updates. Visualization updates are sent from the management

IP address, so the selected address must be reachable by all nodes with

visualization enabled; it should be either in the same subnet or reachable

through the default gateway. Multicast operation allows the most robust

visualization for mobile networks because it provides true distributed operation

with partitions and merges. Unicast operation requires all visualization users to

be able to contact the selected server, but offers reduced network overhead for

larger static networks.

WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

STATUS

The Status box indicates the current security conﬁguration. “Operational” means a

valid key is set and Wave Relay® is operational. If Wave Relay® is NOT operational,

then the node will not communicate with any other nodes, and its management in-

terface can only be accessed via connection to the Ethernet 1 interface. The Security

tab on the navigation bar will have a red background and blink when the current

status is not “Operational.”

SECURITY

SAVE TO NETWORK

Two check boxes are checked by default.

Reconﬁgure immediately forces the network to

apply the new settings and reboot immediately.

Require all ensures all nodes in the managed

node list receive the updated values or all will fail

and not update.

WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

1. From the “Update” menu, select whether to update only the currently managed

node (“Node”) or all nodes on the network. The “network (require all)” setting

will change security settings for all nodes in the network and will require all

nodes in the network be available for any changes to be applied. If not all

WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

ZEROIZE

The Zeroize box enables users to erase the key conﬁguration on an individual node

or on the entire network as speciﬁed by the Node List. When a node is zeroized, all

traces of the current key are erased so that the key can no longer be recovered from

the unit. Once a node has been zeroized, it cannot participate in any Wave Relay®

network until it is re-keyed using the “Set Key” function.

1. From the “Update” menu, select whether to update only the currently managed

node (“Node”) or all nodes on the network. The “network (require all)” setting

will zeroize the security conﬁguration for all nodes in the network and will

require all nodes in the network be available for any changes to be applied.

If not all nodes are available, no changes will be applied. The “network (any

available)” setting will zeroize the security conﬁguration for all available nodes

on the network. Nodes that are not available will NOT be updated.

2. Clicking the “Zeroize Key” button will erase the packet encryption key only.

Clicking the “Zeroize All Conﬁguration” button will erase not only the key but

also the management password and the public/private key-pair used to connect

to the Web Management Interface. If the “Zeroize All Conﬁguration” button is

clicked, the node(s) will also reboot.

3. To access the Web Management Interface after the “Zeroize All Conﬁguration”

button has been clicked and the node has rebooted, the user will need to

accept a newly generated certiﬁcate and use the factory password to log into

the Web Management Interface.

SECURITY FEATURES

Tamper Response: This menu enables or disables tamper detection. If tamper

Management Interface. This feature is only available on MPU versions of the Wave

Relay®.

select the “Backwards Compatible: 256-bit AES-CTR with HMAC-SHA-1” mode

on the units with newer hardware; this will allow all the nodes in the network

to communicate. If you have a network with only newer hardware you can

select any of the three modes. We recommend “256-bit AES-CTR with HMAC-

SHA-512” as the mode with the greatest security margin. “256-bit AES-GCM” is

an alternate full Suite-B mode that can also be used based on user preference.

3. Once the Crypto Mode is set, enter a key value into the ﬁeld and click the “Set”

button, or click the “Generate” button to generate a random key. The new key

information is stored to the node or the network.

WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE REFERENCE

The Wave Relay® router provides an API for conﬁguring and monitoring the radio

outside of the management interface. The API runs over the on-board HTTPS

interface, allowing any program or package that submits requests according to the

HTTP protocol (RFC 2616) to communicate with the Wave Relay®. Some example

programs include custom programs written in Java or C/C++ as well as the Linux

“Curl” command.

A typical request to the Wave Relay® has the form:

https://192.168.5.88/management.cgi?password-

input=XXXXXX&command=param_get&name=WAVERELAY_

IP&name=WAVERELAY_NETMASK

This example URL has the following syntax:

• Protocol: must be https

• Address: use the assigned IP address for the Wave Relay® node (in this example:

192.168.5.88)

• Script name: must be management.cgi

• Required query string ﬁeld: password-input (the assigned management password

for the node)

• Required query string ﬁeld: command (the management command to be

performed)

• Additional query string ﬁelds: depend on the command. In this example, we are

executing the command param_get in order to request the values for the two

channel should observe approximately

10Mbps, and a 5MHz channel should observe

approximately 5Mbps.

2. If low throughput is measured, test other

center frequencies until you achieve the

highest throughput possible for a given

channel width.

3. Resolve interference issue with other

transmitter located nearby.

MAX LINK

DISTANCE SET

INCORRECTLY

1. If Max Link Distance is set incorrectly and/or

inconsistently in a network, throughput will be

affected negatively. To set Max Link Distance

correctly, determine the farthest distance any

individual link on this frequency may need to

be, then choose the next longest Max Link

Distance. e.g. 13 mi = Max Link Distance

should be set to 15 mi. To set Max Link

Distance, click “Node Conﬁguration” > “Node

Conﬁguration.”

CHANNEL DEN-

SITY SET INCOR-

RECTLY

1. If Channel Density is set incorrectly and/

or inconsistently in a network, throughput

will be affected negatively. To set Channel

Density, click “Node Conﬁguration” > “Node

Conﬁguration.” Channel Density should be

set by the number of nodes in the network.

BLADE ANTEN-

NA DOES NOT

HAVE A GOOD

(METALLIC)

GROUND PLANE

1. Install a proper metallic ground plane.

POOR AUDIO MICROPHONE

VOLTAGE NOT

ENABLED (MPU3

AND QUAD

ONLY)

1. Microphone voltage must be enabled for use

with certain headsets.

2. To enable microphone voltage, click “Node

Conﬁguration” > “PTT Conﬁguration” > “Ac-

cessory Features.”

MICROPHONE

GAIN NOT SET

TO AUTO

1. To set microphone gain to auto, click “Node

Conﬁguration” > “PTT Conﬁguration” > “Mi-

crophone Level” > enter “auto” into the ﬁeld.

MULTICAST

TRAFFIC STOPS

AFTER A FEW

SECONDS

PRUNING STA-

TUS SET INCOR-

RECTLY (FW

VERSIONS 18.3.X

AND EARLIER

ONLY)

1. Prior to FW version 18.4.0, if pruning status

is not the same on all nodes in the network,

then multicast trafﬁc will not forward properly.

2. To check Pruning status, click “Network

Status” > “IP Multicast Status.” If any nodes

in the network have pruning status disabled,

the page will report a message of “pruning

disabled.”

CLIENT DEVICE

IS USING WIN-

DOWS CE/XP

1. Windows CE/XP computers have a known

issue where they do not respond to IGMP

Multicast Group Queries sent by Wave Relay

nodes. “Pull All Multicast” should be used on

Windows CE/XP computers to work around

this issue. Pruning must be disabled on all

nodes with FW versions 18.3.x and earlier or

set to “Pull All Multicast” on all nodes with

FW version 18.4.0 and later.

2. To disable pruning on FW versions 18.3.x and

earlier, navigate to the “Network Defaults”

page. Set IGMP Snooping & IP Multicast

Pruning to “Disabled.”

3. On FW versions 18.4.0 and later, set IP

Multicast Routing to “Pull All Multicast”

in the “Node Conﬁguration” or “Network

Defaults” page.
