Frequency Range
This is available on central routers only. l'he default value is the United States FCC-deﬁned ISM
band (1403-2481 (1117 / 57705348 0112). A selection ot'other (subset) ranges is available to
meet the regulatory requirements ot‘cottntries that do not follow the FCC rules. A remote router will
dynamically set its Frequency Range tn match that of the ot‘thc central unit with which it associates.
RF Net 10 and Hop Sequence
Enter the Hop Sequence (central units only) parameter from the network planning information. A
remote router will dynamically set its Hop Sequence to match that ofthc ofthc central unit with
which it associates.
Tx (Transmit) Power
Select the desired value from the pull-down list. The range ofvalttes is +15 to +24 dBm.
Meeting any regulatory transmitter output power and/or EIRP requirements is the installers
responsibility. The formula for EIRP is given below:
111“)de [X Power as,“ + 1x Antenna (jam KM - Tx Antenna Cable Loss m
For example. to meet the FCC EIRP limit of 136 dBm (4W) using a 16 dBi sector antenna with a 1
dB loss antenna cable. the transmit power must he set to +21 dBm or lower See Appendix C for
maximum power settings tinder FCC rttles for each provided antenna.
Bandwidth Reservation for UDP
The Bandwrdth Reservation lor UDP parameter is used to prioritize UDP protocol packets vs. non-
UDP packets over the radio interface Since voice-over“) trafﬁc is typically carried over the UDP
protocol. this allows for the system to deliver Voice packets with bounded delay. regardless of non-
voice trafﬁc levels. If this parameter is set to none, then there is no special handling for UDP
packets. If this parameter is set to a value other than none, then two priority channels are created.
one for UDP packets and one for non-UDP packets. Data from each channel will be given priority.
until the amount of data from that channe reaches the speciﬁed percentage of total radio channel
capuetty:

The 88"/n maximum for UDP packets ensures that non-UDP management data packets (H'l‘f P1
Telnet, or FTP) can always be delivered. regardless ofthe prioritized UDP packet loadi When one
oi‘lhe priority channels has no packets to send. then the other priority channel is allowed to use the
total radio bandwidth.
Radio Enable/Disable
in order to establish a connection or pass data over the radio interface, Enable must be selected.
Selecting Disable will prevent radio link transmissions and receptions, and the radio self-test LED
will be off. The rest of the conﬁguration and installation instructions assume that Enable is
selected,

Configure SNMP
Performing SNMP conﬁguration is optional ll'SNMl’ is Enabled. then authorized users can access
all monitoring variables and/or selected conﬁguration variables. Variables that may be conﬁgured
are limited to the normal industry practices for routers and radio-speciﬁc parameters. Users may
also access a subset of MIB variables through the Web browser interface, upon supplying a valid
Community name (from a valid IP address) to M through the Web browser interface. This
applies even ifthey do not have a Web browser network m user name and password.
Units are shipped from the factory with a community named “public" which has Read access. This
allows users to View all conﬁguration information. Read access for the community named "public"
can be removed, thus preventing unauthorized personnel (those without usemame and password
access) from viewing any conﬁguration information,
The SNMP Community Name can be used to provide read-only or read/write access to a speciﬁc
user or group of users. You can add a community name. and assign the desired level of access
(read-only or rcad/writet via the SNMP conﬁguration page. Once you have submitted the
conﬁguration change. you can enter the newly assigned community name in the space provided on
the log in page. You will then have access to the unit at the level assigned to that community. You
can then give that name to a particular user, or to a group of users.

Mount the Antenna
Warning: To avoid excesswe exposure to RF energy, WaveNet [P 2458 antennas should be
installed and serviced with the primary power disconnected from the WaveNet l? 2458 unit When
power is applied to the unit, the installer must keep at least 44 inches (1 12 cm.) away from the feed
point of the antenna to comply with FCC RF exposure limits. The antennas must be mounted such
that the general population will not come within 44 inches ofthe feed point. This is normally
accomplished by installing the unit at an elevated altitude on a roof—top or must.
l. If the antenna cable is not captive to the antenna attach it to the antenna connector prior to
mounting the antenna. 'l'ighteii the connectors ﬁrmly by hand, or by using a special slip-jaw
pliers made for this purpose. Protect the exposed cable connectors to ensure that the
connections are weatherproof. The preferred way to seal this connection is using a cold shrink
insulator (such as 3M brand #844773.2) inserted over the cable prior to attaching to the antenna
port. 'l'he altcmative method is to first wrap electrical tape around the connectors. completely
covering them. and then completely wrap the connectors with water-resistant putty tape (such as
ScotchWI brand 33).
to
Pull or hoist the antenna and cable assembly to the installation point. For central site sector
antennas, determine the direction that the antenna Should point before attaching the antenna
mounting hardware: for a remote site directional antenna, align the antenna to the approximate
direction of the central site by using a compass, or by actual sighting. Attach the antenna to the
mast. using the mounting hardware and instructions included with the antenna. For remote Site
directional antennas. tighten the mounting hardware only as much as needed to support the
antenna until the aiming process is completed (below).
3. Attach the antenna cable to the female N connector on the bottom of the router enclosure. Be
careful not to damage the coaxial cable by bending it too much. Be sure not to bend the coaxial
cable at too small a radius when connecting it between the enclosure and the antenna.
Weatherproof the connection to the enclosure.

router board (sec Figure 2), and attach the negative lead to the edge of the enclosure or other
source or ground. usmg alligator clip leads. lt‘the remote rou1cr is able to establish ‘a radio
connection with the central routerr then a voltage greater than one volt will be shown on the
DVM. Note that it may take up to a minute or two for the radio connection to be established,
after the self-test completes. lt‘the radio connection does not come up, verify that the antenna is
pointed in the correct direction, and re-orient it ifnecessary. again waiting up to a minute or two
for the radio connection to be established.
Assuming that a directional antenna is being used (typical case), the antenna aim should be
varied slightly in all directions (as allowed by the mounting hardware) to ﬁnd the strongest radio
signal. in the case where a directional antenna is used at each end of a link, then cach antenna
may have to be adjusted (alternately) a number of time to achieve optimal signal strength. The
RSSI level will change in proponion to a change in receive signal level. Each time the antenna
is moved. it will take up to one second for the DVM to indicate the new signal strength. the

Configuring Other Customer Equipment
Workstations and Other End-Nodes
ll" the router is attached directly to the end-station network. i.e. there is no intervening router. then
the end-stations that need to communicate through the router need to know the IP address of the
router‘s Ethernet interface. One or more of the following conﬁguration choices are typically
available based on the speciﬁcs of the end-station equipment:
0 enter the address of the WaveNet IP 2-158 Ethernet interface as the default gateway address.
0 add the address to the table of available routers. or
0 enter the address into the route table as the next hep for one or more speciﬁed remote
networks
Routers
In some installations, the router is connected to the end-stations via another router. such as a
separate site router or a Novel!W NetWare® or Microsoﬁ“ Windows® NT” sewer system acting as u
site router to these cases‘ the site router needs to know all of the networks that can be reached
through the radio network.
Network Management Stations
Any standard SNMP Network Management System (NMS) can be used to monitor and control the
WuveNet [P 2458 network and individual routers. The routers generally support the applicable
objects from MIB-ll.
l'Vuque/ [P 2458 has an enterprise MIB provided in standard ASN-l format. the enterprise MIB
can be found in the routers ﬁle system as ”Fz/PUB/wn2458mib”, It can be FTP'd from the router
and loaded into the NMS‘s MIB database to allow access to the router‘s device-speciﬁc variables.
The description ﬁelds in the enterprise MlB document the contents of each variable. Generally,
treat the routers and their associated networks like any other network to be managed.
A listing ofthe WuveNet [P 2458 enterprise MIB can be found in Appendix A.

Verifying Internetwork Connectivity
Central Sites
The goal of this section is to verify connectivity between a new central site router and the central
site network equipment. Connectivity between central and remote sites is normally veriﬁed when a
remote lS installed.
From a PC connected to the central site network, ping the IP addresses ofthe central router’s
Ethernet interface and radio interface, It'either of these fails. recheck the internetwork conﬁguration
on the router including:
0 IP addresses of Fthemet and radio interfaces
0 Subnct masks of both interfaces
0 Route table entries
if the conﬁguration is correct. then verify the physical connection to the router ”communications
cannot be established to the router, then it may be necessary to use the setup switch on the router
board inside of the enclosure to reset the router’s intemetwork conﬁguration to a known State (scc
Chapter 4).
Remote Sites
From a remote site end-station, attempt to ping to the IP address ol‘a device located at another site
If a ping response is received, then intemctwork connectivity is conﬁrmed. Check (and correct, if
necessary) the internctwork conﬁguration (including Ethernet Ty pt: 11 framing) of the end-station
and any intemiediate routers and retry the operation. Ifthis fails, try a frat-«route to see how far the
packet gcts; check for mis-conﬁgured intemetwork parameters including route table entries
if this is not effective, then configure a dedicated PC as a node on the network shared by the
lithemet interface of the WuveNet IP 2458 routert Be sure to configure the following PC network
parameters:
0 IP address
0 Suhnct mask
0 Use IP address ofremote router’s hthernet interface as default gateway
Connect the router‘s Ethernet interface to an isolated network containingjust the PC using a

Using FTP to Archive or Modify Configurations
it may be desirable to archive is copy of a router's conﬁguration for record keeping. or to restore in
case of hardware failures. It may also be desirable to copy all or part of one router’s conﬁguration
to another router. This might be done to insure consistency ofdata (e.g. security or routing
parameters). or else as a short cut to reduce conﬁguration time. These objectives can be
accomplished by using FTP to retrieve one or more ofa router’s conﬁguration ﬁles. which can be
restored to the same unit or another unit when desired. Note that the internal structures of the data
located within the conﬁguration ﬁles may change between different software versions, therefore
conﬁguration fllL‘S should only he stored/restored between units having the same version of
software. Note that it may be necessary to cdto the router’s ﬁle system root (F:) prior to accessing
ﬁles.
The router's conﬁguration ﬁles are located in the router’s file system as follows:
Radio Configuration Parameters: F:/RADlO/ylconﬁg.dat
Authentication Table: F:/RADIO/ylassoc.dat
Log in User Names and Passwords: F:/MPN/passwd
Interface IP Addresses and Subnet Masks: F:/MPN/inet
Route Table lintries: F:/MPN/routes
SNMP Community Table: Fi/SNMP/eonﬁg
MlB-li System Group Data. Fz/SNMP/nov
0000000
FTP'ing conﬁguration ﬁles onto a router should be clone wtth care. as errors in the copying process
may render the router inoperable pending signiﬁcant recovery proccsses,
Monitoring and Trend Analysis
Central and remote routers can be monitored through either the Web browser or SNMP agent
interfaces.

SNMP Network Management Stations
All monitomblc statistics are available through SNMP queries. in addition to MlB-ll variables.
product-speciﬁc variables are available through the Wavel‘v'cl I.” 24549 enterprise MlB (see Appendix
A)‘ which can be FTP'd from F'/P(/B/wnJ-l58.mih in the router's ﬁle system. Most commercial
SNMI’ Network Management Stations have the ability to sample variables over time and display
trends and/or raise alarms based on deﬁned thresholds. in addition, applicable MlB-ll traps are
supported. and can be used to raise alarms on the network management station.
Web Browser Interface
A subset of the SNMP-accessible statistics is available through the Web browser interface. These
statistirs (‘nn he read by doing a network 19m using either a user name and password, or by
specifying a valid community name that is allowed SNMP read access, and then selecting monitor.
Statistics can be repeatedly sampled by using the reload/refresh feature included with the Web
browser. System, M, or Authentication statistics can be selected.
