Introducing BreezeACCESS
OFDM
BreezeACCESS OFDM is a high capacity, IP services oriented Broadband
Wireless Access system. The system employs wireless packet switched data
technology to support high-speed IP services including fast Internet and
Virtual Private Networks. BreezeACCESS users are provided with a
network connection that is always on, supporting immediate access to the
Internet and other IP services at data rates of up to 12Mbps. The system is
designed for cellular-like deployment, enabling the system architecture to
vary in size and structure. A system can include any number of cells, each
containing several Access Units for better coverage of densely populated
areas.
The system supports per subscriber definition of Maximum (data burst)

Information Rate (MIR) and Committed Information Rate (CIR), which can
be independently configured for the up-and downlink, enabling bandwidth
management and a variety of Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The system
supports Virtual LANs based on IEEE 802.1Q, enabling secure operation
and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services and enabling tele-workers or
remote offices to conveniently access their enterprise network. The system
supports layer-2 traffic prioritization based on IEEE 802.1p and layer-3
traffic prioritization based on IP ToS (3-bits) or DSCP (6-bits).
BreezeACCESS OFDM products operate in licensed frequency bands in

Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) mode, using Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation with Forward Error Correction
(FEC) coding and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) radios. Using the
enhanced multi-path resistance capabilities of OFDM modem technology,
BreezeACCESS OFDM enables operation in near and non-line-of-sight
(NLOS) environments. These qualities enable operators to reach a
previously-inaccessible and broader segment of the subscriber population.
BreezeACCESS OFDM products are currently available in the 3.4 – 3.6GHz

frequency band, as shown in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1: BreezeACCESS OFDM Frequency Band

Subscriber Unit
The Subscriber Unit (SU) installed at the customer premises enables the
customer data connection to the Access Unit, providing bridge
functionality and supporting a full LAN.
The Subscriber Unit provides an efficient platform for high speed Internet
and Intranet services. The system delivers fast access to IP-based services
at a data burst rate of up to 12Mbps. The use of packet switching
technology provides the user with a connection to the network that is
always on, enabling immediate access to services.
The Subscriber Unit is comprised of an Indoor Unit (SU-NI-4D/BD-OF)

and an Outdoor Unit.
In the SU-A-4D/BD-OF Subscriber Unit, the SU-RA-OF Outdoor Unit

contains a radio module and an integrated vertically polarized antenna. In
the SU-AH-4D/BD-OF Subscriber Unit, the SU-RAH-OF Outdoor Unit
contains a radio module and an integrated horizontally polarized antenna
In the SU-E-4D/BD-OF Subscriber Unit, the SU-RE-OF Outdoor Unit

contains a radio module and a connector for a separate external antenna.
The SU-A/AH/E-4D-OF Subscriber Unit supports up to 4 users (MAC

addresses) simultaneously. The SU-A/AH/E-BD-OF provides bridge
functionality and can support a full LAN.
The Indoor SU-NI-4D/BD-OF Unit provides the interface to the user’s

equipment and is powered from the mains via an SU-PS-OF power supply
unit. The customer's data equipment is connected via a standard
IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ 45) interface. The
SU-NI-4D/BD-OF is connected to the Outdoor Unit via a 50-ohm coaxial
Intermediate Frequency (IF) cable. This cable carries 140MHz IF signals
between the Indoor and the Outdoor Units, and also transmits
management and control signals between the Indoor and Outdoor Units. In
addition, this cable transmits power (24 VDC) from the Indoor Unit to the
Outdoor Unit.
Introduction
2-5
Base Station Equipment

The Access Units, installed at the Base Station site, provide all the
functionality necessary to communicate with the Subscriber Units and to
connect to the backbone of the Service Provider.
There are 2 lines of Access Units with different architectures:

♦ Modular High Capacity Base Station Equipment
♦ Micro Base Station Standalone Access Unit
Modular High Capacity Base Station

Equipment
The Modular High capacity Base Station Equipment is based on the
BS-SH-OF 4U chassis, which is suitable for installation in 19 inch racks.
The chassis contains one or two Power Supply modules (BS-PS-OF) that
are powered from a –48 VDC power source, and up to eight active Access
Unit Network Interface (AU-NI-BS-OF) modules. The use of two BS-PS-OF
modules ensures fail-safe operation through power supply redundancy.
Each AU-NI-BS-OF module, together with its Outdoor radio Unit,

comprises an AU-A/E-BS-OF Access Unit that serves a single sector.
In the AU-A-BS-OF Access Unit, the AU-RA-OF Outdoor Unit contains a

radio module and an integrated antenna.
In the AU-E-BS-OF Access Unit, the AU-RE-OF Outdoor Unit contains the
radio module and a connector for a separate external antenna.
The maximum nominal output power to the antenna port of a regular

Access Unit is 20dBm. The high power Access Unit can deliver a maximum
nominal output power of 25dBm to the antenna port.
The AU-NI-BS-OF modules connect to the network through standard

IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ 45) interfaces. A coaxial
Intermediate Frequency (IF) cable connects the Indoor module and the
Outdoor Unit. This cable carries 140MHz IF signals between the Indoor
and Outdoor Units. It also transmits management and control signals
between the Indoor and Outdoor Units. In addition, this cable transmits
power (24 VDC) from the Indoor module to the Outdoor Unit.
2-6
Micro Base Station Standalone Access

Unit
The Micro Base Station is the ideal solution for providing cost effective
broadband services in low density rural areas. The AU-E-SA Micro Base
Station is a stand alone Access Unit comprised of indoor unit (AU-NI-SA)
and an outdoor radio unit (AU-RE). The AU-RE outdoor unit and the
antenna are the same as in the AU-E-BS Access Unit. The difference is in
the structure of the indoor part; in the AU-E-SA Access Unit the AU-NI-SA
indoor unit is a standalone desktop or wall-mountable unit rather than a
19” module.
The AU-NI-SA indoor unit provides the interface to the network equipment
and is powered from the mains via an AU-PS-OF power supply unit. The
network equipment is connected via a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
10/100BaseT (RJ 45) interface. The AU-NI-SA is connected to the Outdoor
Unit via a 50-ohm coaxial Intermediate Frequency (IF) cable. This cable
carries 140MHz IF signals between the Indoor and the Outdoor Units, and
also transmits management and control signals between the Indoor and
Outdoor Units. In addition, this cable transmits power (24 VDC) from the
Indoor Unit to the Outdoor Unit.
Networking Equipment
The Base Station equipment is connected to the backbone through
standard data communication and telecommunication equipment. The
10/100BaseT ports of the AU modules can be connected directly to a
multi-port router or to an Ethernet switch connected to a router.
The point-to-point link from the Base Station to the backbone can be
either wired or wireless. Data to the Internet is routed to the backbone
through standard routers.
Introduction
2-7
Management Systems
The end-to-end IP-based architecture of the system enables full
management of all components from any point in the system.
BreezeACCESS OFDM components can be managed using standard
management tools through SNMP agents that implement standard and
proprietary MIBs for remote setting of operational modes and parameters.
The same SNMP management tools can also be used to manage other
system components including switches, routers and transmission
equipment. Security features incorporated in BreezeACCESS OFDM units
restrict access for management purposes to specific IP addresses and/or
directions, which means from the Ethernet and/or wireless link.
In addition, the Ethernet WAN can be used to connect to other Operation

Support Systems including servers, Customer Care systems and AAA
(Authentication, Authorization and Admission) tools.
BreezeCONFIG OFDM
The BreezeCONFIG OFDM utility is an SNMP-based application designed
to manage BreezeACCESS OFDM system components and upgrade unit
software versions. The system administrator can use the BreezeCONFIG
OFDM utility to control a large number of units from a single location. In
addition, BreezeCONFIG OFDM enables you to load an updated
configuration file to multiple units simultaneously, thus radically reducing
the time spent on unit configuration maintenance.

Equipment Location
Guidelines
This section provides key guidelines for selecting the optimal installation
locations for the various BreezeACCESS OFDM system components.
NOTE:
Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation
professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever
applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities.
Failure to do so may void the BreezeACCESS OFDM product warranty and may expose
the end user or Service Provider to legal and financial liabilities. Alvarion and its resellers
or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the
installation of Outdoor Units or antennas.
Select the optimal locations for the Outdoor Unit and Indoor equipment
using the following guidelines:
♦ The Outdoor Unit can be either pole or wall mounted. Its location
should enable easy access to the unit for installation and testing.
♦ The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link
quality.
♦ Units with an external antenna should be installed as close as possible
to the antenna.
AU-RA and AU-RE Units

The AU-RA unit with its integrated antenna, or the external antenna
connected to the AU-RE unit, should be installed so as to provide coverage
to all Subscriber Units within its service area. For optimal coverage, place
the AU-RA unit or the antenna as high as possible.
NOTE:
The distance between any two antennas must exceed 40cm.
SU-RA/RAH and SU-RE Units

♦ It is recommended that the SU-RA/RAH Outdoor Unit with its
integrated antenna, or the external antenna connected to the SU-RE
unit, be installed to provide a direct, or near line of sight with the Base
Station antenna.
♦ The antenna (integrated on the front side of the SU-RA/RAH Outdoor
Unit) should be aligned to face the Base Station.
3-6
IF Cable
The Outdoor Unit is connected to the Indoor Unit via an IF cable carrying
signals and power. The IF frequency is 140MHz. The maximum allowed
attenuation of the IF cable is 10dB at 140MHz. For SUs and standard AUs
the maximum allowed DC resistance (the sum of the DC resistance of the
inner and outer conductors) is 2.7ohm. This enables a cable length of up
to 50m when using a standard RG 58 cable. For High-Power AUs the
maximum allowed DC resistance is 2 ohm, enabling a length of up to 39m
of RG 58 cable.
If longer cables are required, a cable with lower attenuation and/or DC

resistance should be used.
Table 3-2 provides detailed information concerning common cables such

as the RG 58 and RG 213. If the spectral environment is polluted with
noise in the 140MHz band, it is recommended that a higher quality
double-shielded cable such as the LMR 200, LMR 240 and LMR 400
(manufactured by Times Communications) be used.

Figure 3-7: BS-SH Chassis Slot Assignments
To enable power supply redundancy two BS-PS power supply modules can
be installed in the wider side slots. If a single power supply module is
used, it can be inserted into either one of the two available slots.
The remaining eight slots can hold up to eight active AU-NI-BS modules.
Unused slots should remain covered until required.
The BreezeACCESS OFDM Base Station can also host other types of
BreezeACCESS Access Units, thereby making GFSK and OFDM
co-existence in a single Base Station location very easy and cost effective.
In the mode where the OFDM Base Station operates simultaneously with
OFDM and GFSK Access Units, the Base Station requires one OFDM Power
Supply Unit to power the OFDM Access Units and one GFSK Power Supply
Unit to power the GFSK Access Units. In this mode power supply
redundancy is compromised.

Summary.
Configuring Basic Parameters

After completing the installation process, as described in the preceding
chapter, the basic parameters must be configured to ensure that the unit
operates correctly. Once the basic parameters have been configured,
additional parameters can be remotely configured via the Ethernet port or
the wireless link using Telnet or SNMP management, or by loading a
configuration file.
The Basic Configuration menu includes all the parameters necessary for
the initial installation and operation of BreezeACCESS OFDM Subscriber
and Access Units. In many installations, most of these parameters should
not be changed from their default values. The basic parameters and their
default values are listed in Table 4-2.
Once the basic parameters are configured, the unit must be reset in order
to activate the new configuration.
Refer to Chapter 5, Operation and Administration, for detailed information

on the applicable parameters.
NOTE:
It is important to configure the radio parameters first to ensure that the unit is transmitting
at the correct frequency and power level.

NOTE:
Since the management application prevents the configuration of conflicting values, some
restrictions apply in the order that parameters may be modified, as follows:
1. If the Channel Spacing is currently defined at 3.5MHz and only supports frequencies on
a 0.25MHz grid, it is not possible to change the Frequency Channel to a frequency on a
0.125MHz grid. For example, 12.125. In this case, the Channel Spacing must be set to
1.75MHz before configuring the Frequency Channel to a frequency on a 0.125MHz grid.
2. To change the Channel Spacing to 3.5MHz, the Frequency Channel must first be
configured on a 0.25MHz grid, since 3.5MHz Channel Spacing does not support a
Frequency Channel on a 0.125MHz grid.

Aligning the Subscriber Unit

Antenna
The RSSI bar display is located on the bottom panel of the Outdoor Unit.
Refer to Figure 4-2 on page 4-13. The eight green RSSI LEDs are used for
reading the Received Signal Strength Indication. The higher the number of
green LEDs indicating On, the higher the level of the received signal. This
section describes how to align the Subscriber Unit antenna using the RSSI
bar display.
NOTE:
Antenna alignment using the RSSI bar display is possible only after the Subscriber Unit is
associated with an Access Unit. The associated Access Unit must be operational and the
basic Subscriber Unit parameters must be correctly configured. If not, the unit will not be
able to synchronize with the Access Unit. As the RSSI measurement is performed on
received frames, its results are meaningless unless the Subscriber Unit is associated with
an Access Unit.
To align the Subscriber Unit antenna:

1. Align the antenna, which is integrated into the front side of the
SU-RA/RAH Outdoor Unit, by pointing it in the general direction of
the Base Station.
2. Verify that the power indication of the Outdoor Unit is On.
3. Verify that the WLNK orange LED of the Outdoor Unit is On,
indicating that the unit is associated with an Access Unit. If the WLNK
LED is Off, check that the ESSID, Frequency Channel and Security
parameters are correctly configured. If the SU is still not associated
with the AU and ATPC is disabled, increase the transmit power level to
its maximum value. If the unit is still not associated with the AU,
improve the quality of the link by changing the direction of the
antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or alternate location.
4. Rotate the antenna until the maximum RSSI reading is achieved,
where at least the minimum number of green LEDs are illuminated,
as follows:
Table 4-3: RSSI LEDs Minimal Requirements
Channel Spacing 1.75MHz 3.5MHz
Minimum Data Rate 1 Mbps 2 Mbps
Minimum number of Illuminated Green LEDs 1 (LED 2) 2 (LEDS 2-3)
If you encounter prolonged difficulty in illuminating the minimum

required number of green LEDs, try to improve the reception quality
by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location.
Commissioning
4-7
5. Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the Base Station.
However, in certain conditions, such as when the line of site to the
Base Station is hampered, better reception may be achieved using a
reflected signal. In this case, the antenna is not always directed
toward the Base Station.
6. If the red LED is on, indicating a received signal level higher than
-25dB, move the antenna or modify the installation to reduce the
received signal level to avoid saturating the receiver circuits.
7. Secure the unit firmly to the pole.
NOTE:
In some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to ensure that the level at which the SU
receives transmissions from the AU (and vice versa) is not too high. As a rule of thumb, if
the SU is located at a distance of less than 50 meters from the AU (100 meters for a High-
Power AU), it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15°. It is
recommended to verify that the RSSI at which the SU receives the AU is not higher than
-50dBm.
4-8
Configuring the Subscriber

Unit’s Initial Transmit Power
and Maximum Data Rate
The following sections describe how to perform the RSSI measurement and
configure the transmit power level and maximum data rate for Subscriber
Units. The Initial Transmit Power level should be configured only when
the Transmit Power Control Algorithm is disabled.
RSSI Measurement
The Current RSSI Value option provides a continuously updated display
of the average Received Signal Strength Indication. As the test only
measures the signal strength of frames received correctly, it is a reliable
indication of the reception signal quality.
NOTE:
The Current RSSI Value option in the Monitor window displays the RSSI value with higher
accuracy than the RSSI bar indicator. It is therefore recommended to check the RSSI value
in the Monitor window after the antenna is optimally aligned.
To measure the quality of the received signal:

1. Access the Monitor program of the Subscriber Unit.
2. From the Main Menu, type 4 to access the Site Survey menu.
3. From the Site Survey menu, type 3 to access the Current RSSI Value
parameter. A continuously updated display of the RSSI value is
displayed.
4. To stop the test, press any key.
Configuring the Initial Transmit Power

Level
If the Transmit Power Control Algorithm is enabled you can retain the
default configuration of the Initial Transmit Power parameter, since the
algorithm automatically sets the optimal level of the output power.
If the Transmit Power Control Algorithm is disabled, it is recommended

that the Initial Transmit Power parameter for each SU be set to achieve a
reception level of –65dBm at the AU. Refer to Table 4-4 for the list of
optimal power levels at various distances, assuming a free line of sight
between SU and AU.

To configure the initial transmit power level:

1. From the Basic Configuration menu, select I to access the Radio
Parameters menu.
2. Type A to access the Transmit Power Control configuration menu.
Select 1 to access the Initial Transmit Power configuration screen and
enter the required value, as determined from Table 4-4.
3. If the SU does not associate with the AU, check the configuration of
the ESSID, Frequency Channel and Security parameters. If the
parameters are properly configured, verify the antenna alignment. If
the unit is still not associated with the AU, set the Initial Transmit
Power parameter to its maximum value.
4. After the SU is associated with the AU, check the RSSI of the SU at
the applicable AU. For example, you can access the AU’s Monitor
program via Telnet.
NOTE:
The RSSI measurement at the AU is accurate only when receiving transmissions from the
applicable SU. If necessary, use the Ping Test utility in the Site Survey menu to verify data
transmission.
4-10
5. If the RSSI measurement of the relevant SU at its associated AU is

lower than -65dBm, increase the value of the Initial Transmit Power
parameter for the SU until an RSSI measurement of -65dBm is
achieved or until the Initial Transmit Power parameter is set to its
maximum value.
NOTE:
You can estimate the RSSI of the SU at the AU (RSSISU) using the RSSI of the AU at the
SU (RSSIAU), based on the assumption that the radio link is essentially symmetrical and
the AU is transmitting at its maximum power (Pau =+20dBm for AU and +25dBm for
AU-HP): (RSSISU) = (RSSIAU)+ Pau -PSU, where PSU is the value of the Initial Transmit
Power parameter at the SU. If the estimated RSSISU is lower than -65dBm, increase the
Initial Transmit Power parameter at the SU to achieve an estimated RSSISU of -65dBm,
or until the Initial Transmit Power parameter is set to its maximum level.
Configuring the Maximum Data Rate

This section describes how to configure the maximum data rate for
BreezeACCESS OFDM Subscriber Units.
To configure the maximum data rate:

1. If, after the SU is configured to its optimal Transmit Power level, the
RSSI at the AU is too low, it is recommended that you configure the
Maximum Data Rate parameter to a value that is lower than the
maximum. This can decrease the number of retransmissions due to
attempts to transmit at rates that are too high for the actual quality of
the link.
2. Check the RSSI of the SU at the AU. You can use Telnet to view the
Current RSSI Values, which can be accessed from the Site Survey
menu. If the RSSI is lower than the values required for the maximum
data rate according to Table 4-5 (for channel spacing of 3.5 MHz) or
Table 4-6 (for channel spacing of 1.75 MHz), it is recommended that
you decrease the maximum data rate. It is recommended that a safety
margin of 3dB be added to compensate for possible measurement
inaccuracy or variance in the link quality.
NOTE:
Refer to the note at the end of the preceding section (Configuring the Initial Transmit
Power Level) for details on estimating the RSSI of the SU at the AU (RSSISU) using the
RSSI of the AU at the SU (RSSIAU).
3. To access the Maximum Data Rate selection menu, from the Basic
Configuration menu, select 5.
4. Configure the Maximum Data Rate according to Table 4-5 (for
channel spacing of 3.5 MHz) or Table 4-6 (for channel spacing of 1.75
MHz), using the typical sensitivity values. It is recommended that a
3dB margin be added to compensate for possible measurement
inaccuracy or variance in the quality of the link.
5. Reset the unit to activate the new configuration.
Commissioning

NOTE:
If the unit is associated with the AU, then the final configuration of the Maximum Data
Rate parameter may be performed remotely, for example, from the site of the AU or from
another site.

Operations
The following describes the standard operations that are used when
working with the Local Terminal Management system.
♦ Type an option number to open or activate the option. In certain cases
you may need to click Enter.
♦ Click Esc to exit a menu or option.
♦ You can log-out and exit the Monitor program from anywhere in the
program by simultaneously pressing the Ctrl and X keys.
NOTE:
The program is automatically terminated following a determined period of inactivity. The
default time-out is 5 minutes and is configured with the Log-Out Timer parameter.
In most cases, to activate any configuration changes, you must reset the
unit. Certain settings are automatically activated without the need to reset
the unit. Refer to Appendix A, Parameters Summary for information on
which parameters are run-time configurable, which means that the unit
need not be reset for the parameter to take effect, and which parameters
do require that the unit be reset.
NOTE:
Changes in parameters are stored immediately in the non-volatile memory. Since the
management programs acquire parameter values from this memory, the current values of
parameters displayed in the Monitor program, or read via SNMP, reflect all recent changes,
including those that are not to be activated until the next reset. In addition, given the
interdependence between certain parameters, modifications to these parameters cause
the displayed values of the associated parameters to change immediately. For example,
after changing the value of the Channel Spacing parameter, all readings related to data
rates use the rates applicable to the new value, although the previous Channel Spacing
and associated data rates are still being used for actual communication.

NOTE:
The MAC Address database option of the Site Survey menu is only available for AUs.
The following sections describe each option of the Site Survey menu.
Traffic Statistics
The traffic statistics are used to monitor, interpret and analyze the
performance of the wired and wireless links. The counters display statistics
relating to wireless link and Ethernet frames. The Traffic Statistics menu
includes the following options:
♦ Display Counters: Select this option to display the current value of the
Ethernet and wireless link counters.
♦ Reset Counters: Select this option to reset the counters.
5-15
Ethernet Counters
The unit receives Ethernet frames from its Ethernet port and forwards the
frames to its internal bridge, which determines whether each frame should
be transmitted to the wireless media. Frames discarded by the unit's
hardware filter are not counted by the Ethernet counters. The maximum
length of a regular IEEE 802.1 Ethernet frame that can be accepted from
the Ethernet port is 1518 bytes. For tagged IEEE 802.1Q frames the
maximum size is 1522 bytes.
The unit transmits valid data frames received from the wireless media to
the Ethernet port, as well internally generated frames, such as responses
to management queries and pings received via the Ethernet port. The
Ethernet Counters include the following statistics:
♦ Total received frames via Ethernet: The total number of frames
received from the Ethernet port. This counter includes valid frames
(without errors), invalid frames (with errors), and frames not received
due to overrun (see below).
♦ Total received error frames via Ethernet: The total number of frames
received from the Ethernet port with errors. This include frames with
frame length violation (length exceeding the maximum allowed)), short
frames (length below the minimum allowed), non-octet aligned frames
(number of bits not divisible by 8 leading to a CRC error), CRC errors
(in frames that comprise an integral number of octets).
♦ Total Overrun frames via Ethernet: The total number of frames that
were not received due to receive FIFO overrun (the rate exceed the rate
at which the unit can accept data from the Ethernet port).
♦ Total transmitted frames to Ethernet: The number of frames
transmitted by the unit to the Ethernet port. These are generally
frames received from the wireless side, but also include frames
generated by the unit itself. The count includes successfully
transmitted frames (good frames), transmission attempt failures
(errors) and warnings.
♦ Total transmitted error frames to Ethernet: The total number of
frame transmission attempt failures. This includes heartbeat errors
(collision input was not asserted within the heartbeat window after
completion of transmission), late collision (a collision after
transmission of 56 data bytes), retransmission limit (retry limit plus 1
transmission attempt failures due to repeated collisions), underrun
(the transmit FIFO emptied of data before the end of the frame).
5-16
♦ Total transmitted warnings to Ethernet: The total number of

warnings indicating that transmission of a frame was deferred because
the Ethernet link is busy (DEF) or a carrier sense lost condition (CSL).
A relatively high number of DEF warnings may occur in half duplex
links. A high number of CSL warnings will occur in a disconnected
link.
Wireless Link Counters
The unit submits data frames received from the Ethernet port to the
internal bridge, as well as self-generated control and wireless management
frames. These frames are forwarded for transmission to the wireless media,
using a special queuing and prioritization mechanism.
Beacons and other wireless management frames have the highest priority
and are submitted for transmission without being submitted to the
internal bridge. There are 4 priority queue: The highest priority queue is
for management protocol frames (such as Telnet, ICMP, DHCP, SNMP)
whose designated recipient is known by the unit to be another
BreezeACCESS OFDM unit. In addition, there are 3 priority queues for
data frames received from the Ethernet port-Low, Mid and High.
If the Packet Concatenation Option is enabled, the concatenated data

frames transmitted to the wireless media are usually comprised of several
data frames. For more information regarding the Packet Concatenation
Option, refer to Performance Parameters, on page 5-58.
After a data frame or concatenated data frame is transmitted, the unit

waits for an acknowledgement (ACK) message from the receiving unit.
Some control and wireless management frames, as well as broadcast and
multicast frames sent to more than one unit, are not acknowledged. If an
ACK is not received after a predefined time, which is determined by the
Acknowledge Delay Limit parameter, the unit retransmits the frame
until an ACK is received. If an ACK is not received before the number of
retransmissions has reached a maximum predefined number, which is
determined by the Number of Retransmissions parameter, the frames are
dropped.
The Wireless Link Counters include the following statistics:

♦ Total transmitted frames to wireless: The number of frames
transmitted to the wireless media. The total includes one count for
each successfully transmitted data frame, or a concatenated data
frame if the Packet Concatenation Option is enabled (excluding
retransmissions), and the number of transmitted control and wireless
management frames.
5-17
♦ Total submitted frames (bridge): The total number of data frames and
management protocol frames intended for other BreezeACCESS OFDM
units submitted to the internal bridge for transmission to the wireless
media. The count does not include control and wireless management
frames, or retransmissions. There are also separate counts for each
priority queue to which the frames may be routed, which are Internal
(Management protocol frames to other BreezeACCESS OFDM units),
High, Mid and Low.
♦ Total submitted frames (Internally Generated): The total number of
internally generated frames, including wireless management frames,
submitted for transmission to the wireless media.
♦ Frames dropped (too many retries): The number of dropped frames,
which are the frames unsuccessfully retransmitted until the maximum
permitted number of retransmissions without being acknowledged.
This count includes dropped data or concatenated data frames as well
as dropped control and wireless management frames.
♦ Total retransmitted frames: The total number of data frame or
concatenated data frame retransmissions, including all unsuccessful
transmissions and retransmissions.
♦ Total Tx events: The number of transmit events. The total number of
Tx events includes transmissions not properly acknowledged, aborted
transmissions and delayed transmissions. Transmissions may be
delayed for various reasons including insufficient time before the end of
the current dwell period. The following additional counters are
displayed to indicate the reason for the error:
H/W: Internal hardware problem in the modem.
CSL: (Carrier Sense Lost). Transmission cancelled because the
modem is busy receiving data.
EOD: (End Of Dwell). Insufficient time left to transmit the message
in the current dwell period. Dwell is the time allocated for
transmitting and receiving data. Dwell periods are separated from
each other by gaps, which are short periods between dwell periods
reserved for transferring management and status messages
between the Indoor and Outdoor Units.
RTSC: (RTS Collision). RTS was sent but CTS was not received.
ACKTOUT: (ACKnowledge Timeout). A frame that is not
acknowledged within the time defined by the Acknowledge Delay
Limit parameter.
5-18
♦ Total received frames from wireless: The total number of frames

received from the wireless media. The count includes data or
concatenated data frames as well as control and wireless management
frames. The count does not include frames discarded internally, bad
frames and duplicate frames. For a description of these frames, refer to
the following three parameters.
♦ Total received data frames: The total number of data or concatenated
data frames received from the wireless media, including duplicate
frames. Refer to Duplicate frames discarded below.
♦ Bad frames received: The number of frames received from the wireless
media containing CRC errors.
♦ Duplicate frames discarded: The number of data or concatenated
data frames discarded because multiple copies are received. If an
acknowledgement message is not received by the originating unit, the
same data frame can be received more than once. Although duplicate
frames are included in all counters that include data frames, only the
first copy is forwarded to the Ethernet port.
♦ Internally discarded MIR\CIR: The total number of data frames
received from the Ethernet port that are discarded by the MIR/CIR
mechanism to avoid exceeding the maximum permitted information
rate. There are also separate counts for each priority queue to which
the data frames can be routed routed, which are High, Mid and Low.
♦ Internally discarded on Tx: The total number of frames that were not
transmitted because the process was aborted. This includes cases of
insufficient time before end of dwell or cancellation of transmission
because the modem is busy receiving data. There are also separate
counts for each priority queue, which are Management (Beacons and
other wireless management frames), Internal (management protocol
frame to other BreezeACCESS OFDM units), High, Mid and Low.
Ping Test
The Ping Test menu includes the following options:

♦ Destination IP Address: Displays the destination IP address of the
device being pinged. Enter an IP address of 4 x 3 digit octets, separated
by dots. The default IP address is 192.000.000.001.
♦ No. of Pings: Enter the number of ping attempts per session. The
available range is from 0 to 9999. The default value is 1. Select 0 for
continuous pinging.
♦ Ping Frame Length: Enter the ping packet size. The available range is
from 60 to 1472 bytes. The default value is 64 bytes.
5-19
♦ Ping Frame Timeout: Enter the ping frame timeout, which is the
amount of time (in ms) between ping attempts. The available range is
from 200 to 2000 ms, in increments of 200 milliseconds. For example,
200, 400, 600…2000. The default value is 200 ms.
♦ Start Sending: Starts the transmission of ping frames.
♦ Stop Sending: Stops the transmission of ping frames. The test is
automatically ended once the number of pings has reached the value
specified in the No. of Pings parameter, described above. The Stop
Sending option can be used to end the test before completing the
specified number of pings, or if continuous pinging is selected.
♦ Show Ping Test Values: Displays the current values of the ping test
parameters, the transmission status, which means whether it is
currently sending or not sending pings, the number of pings sent, and
the number of pings received, which means the number of

♦ ESSID: Enables you to enter the Extended Service Set ID for the
selected unit. The ESSID is used to identify a wireless network, which
prevents the unintentional merging of two collocated wireless networks.
An SU can only associate with an AU that has an identical ESSID. Use
different ESSIDs to segment the wireless access network and add
security to your network.
Valid values: A string of up to 31 printable ASCII characters.
The default value is ESSID1.
NOTE:
The ESSID string is case-sensitive.
♦ Maximum Data Rate: Displays the current maximum data rate, and
enables the entry of a new value for the maximum data rate.
Under certain conditions, based on compatibility or range/speed
trade-offs, etc, you may decide to limit the use of higher rates. If the
link quality is not sufficient, it is recommended that the data rate be
decreased, since a higher data rate elevates the error rate. In such
conditions, a higher data rate causes the unit to retransmit many
frames several times before temporarily reducing the data rate, as
defined by the Number of Retransmissions To Decrease Rate
parameter. A high number of retransmissions reduces the overall
throughput of the selected SU as well as all other SUs associated with
the same AU.
The link quality can be estimated based on the RSSI measurement of
the SU at the AU, as described in Current RSSI Values, on page 5-19. If
the measured RSSI is less than a certain threshold, it is recommended
that you decrease the maximum data rate of the SU in accordance with
Table 5-4, for a channel spacing of 3.5MHz or Table 5-5, for a channel
spacing of 1.75MHz, using the values of typical sensitivity. It is
recommended that you add a 3dB safety margin to compensate for
possible measurement inaccuracy or variance in the link quality. For
best results, it is recommended that you also acquire the RSSI results
from the AU, which indicate the level at which the AU receives
transmissions from the specific SU (uplink RSSI), and use the lower of
the two numbers.
The available and default values are dependent on the Channel

Spacing parameter, as shown in the following table:
Table 5-3: Available and Default Values for the Maximum Data Rate

Rate
♦ Minimum Data Rate (AU only): Enables you to define the minimum
data rate to be used for transmissions. Typically this parameter should
not be changed from its default value; since it is meant to provide
support in the case where the minimum data rate is restricted by
specific radio regulations. The Minimum Data Rate is configurable
only in the AU, and all SUs acquire it during the association process.
The available and default values are dependent on the Channel
Spacing parameter, as shown in the following table:
Table 5-6: Available and Default Values for the Minimum Data Rate
Default Minimum Rate 1Mbps 2Mbps
♦ Acknowledge Delay Limit: Enables you to increase the range of the

system by increasing the time that the unit can wait for a response.
This includes several scenarios where the unit expects a response,
such as a handshake during the association process, an
acknowledgement after transmitting a data frame and CTS after RTS.
Increasing the range may decrease the overall performance and
achievable network throughput. It should be increased only to support
ranges of over 10Km. To support a link distance higher than 10Km, the
delay should be increased at both the applicable SU and the AU. Select
the required range from the following options:
Low, which enables a range of up to 10Km.
Medium, which enables a range of up to 20Km.
High, which enables a range of more than 20Km.
The default value is Low (up to 10Km).
5-31
♦ Maximum Number of Associations (AU only): Enables you to define

the maximum number of Subscriber Units that can be associated with
the selected AU, while still guaranteeing the required quality of service
to customers.
Available values range from 0-512.
Default value: 512.
NOTE:
There is no aging time for SUs. An SU is only removed from the list of associated SUs
under the following conditions:
1. A SNAP frame is received from another AU indicating that the SU is now associated with
the other AU.
2. The SU failed to respond to a certain number of consecutive frames transmitted by the
AU and is considered to have "aged out".
Therefore, the database of associated SUs may include units no longer associated with the
AU. If the number of associated SUs has reached the value of the Maximum Number of
Associations parameter, the selected AU cannot serve additional SUs. To view the
current number of associated SUs, use the Display Association Info option in the MAC
Address Database menu, as described in MAC Address Database, on page 5-21. To
delete inactive SUs from the database you must reset the AU.
Radio Parameters
The Radio Parameters menu enables you to configure the frequency

channel, channel spacing and transmit power level control parameters.

Frequency Settings
The following frequency and channel spacing settings are available through
the Radio Parameters menu.
♦ Frequency Channel: Enables you to configure the actual operational
frequency channel of the unit. The value of the Frequency Channel
parameter is in MHz, indicating the offset in MHz from 3400 (for the
uplink) or 3500 (for the downlink).
For example:
Frequency Channel=1.75: The uplink frequency is 3401.75MHz,
the downlink frequency is 3501.75MHz. In this case the band is
3.5a1.
Frequency Channel=61.675: The uplink frequency is
3461.675MHz, the downlink frequency is 3561.675. In this case the
band is 3.5b.
The resolution (grid) of the Frequency Channel parameter is

dependent on the value configured for the Channel Spacing
parameter, as follows:
Table 5-7: Frequency Channel Resolution vs. Channel Spacing
Frequency Channel Resolution 0.25MHz 0.125MHz
The available range and default values depend on the radio band
and the value configured for the Channel Spacing parameter, as
follows:
Table 5-8: Frequency Channel values vs. Radio Band and Channel Spacing
Radio Band a1 b
Channel Spacing 1.75MHz 3.5MHz 1.75MHz 3.5MHz
Min. Frequency Channel 0.375 1.25 49.875 50.75
Max. Frequency Channel 52.625 51.75 99.125 98.25
Default Frequency 21.75 21.75 71.75 71.75

Channel
♦ Channel Spacing: Enables you to configure the channel spacing that

affects the bandwidth of the transmitted signal and the minimal
distance permitted between frequency channels used by neighboring
sectors.
The available values are 1.75MHz, 3.5MHz
The default value is 3.5MHz
The value of the Channel Spacing parameter affects the available data
rates and the resolution (grid) of the frequency channel, as follows:
5-33
Table 5-9: Channel Spacing Effects of on Other Parameters
Frequency Channel Resolution 0.25MHz 0.125MHz
Available Data Rates 2, 4, 8, 12Mbps 1, 2, 4, 6Mbps
NOTES:
Once the Channel Spacing is modified, the values of all interdependent data rates are
automatically changed to reflect the new Channel Spacing. This includes the Maximum
Data Rate, Minimum Data Rate and Maximum Multicast Rate. The modification also
immediately affects the values displayed in the Per-Rate Counters and Display Association
Info screen, which is accessed through the MAC Address Database menu.
Since the management application prevents the configuration of conflicting values, some
restrictions apply in the order that parameters may be modified, as follows:
1. If the Channel Spacing is currently defined at 3.5MHz and only supports frequencies
on a 0.25MHz grid, it is not possible to change the Frequency Channel to a frequency
on a 0.125MHz grid. For example, 12.125. In this case, the Channel Spacing must be
set to 1.75MHz before configuring the Frequency Channel to a frequency on a
0.125MHz grid.
2. To change the Channel Spacing to 3.5MHz, the Frequency Channel must first be
configured on a 0.25MHz grid, since a 3.5MHz Channel Spacing does not support a
Frequency Channel on a 0.125MHz grid.
Transmit Power Control Parameters
This sub-menu enables you to access parameters related to the level of

transmit power and the functioning of the automatic transmit power
control (ATPC) algorithm. The ATPC algorithm simplifies the installation
process and automatically adjusts the power level transmitted by each SU
according to the actual level at which it is received by the AU.
♦ ATPC in AU: The algorithm is controlled by the AU, which calculates
the average RSSI for each frame received from the specific SU. The
average calculation takes into account the previous calculated average,
thus reducing the effect of short temporary changes in link conditions.
The weight of the historical value in the formula used for calculating
the average RSSI is determined by a configurable parameter. In
addition, the greater the time since the last calculation, the lower the
impact of the historical value on the calculated average. If the average
RSSI is not in the optimal range, generally between -70dBm to
-65dBm, the AU transmits a power-up or a power-down message to the
SU according to the difference between the calculated average RSSI
and the middle (rounded down) of the defined target range. The default
target value is -68dBm. The goal is to ensure that each SU is received
at an optimal level, or as high as possible if the optimal range cannot
be reached due to poor link conditions.
5-34
♦ ATPC in SU: The SU starts a passive scan after powering up. Upon
receiving a beacon, the SU attempts authentication with the AU. While
the initial level at which the SU tries to establish communication is
determined by a configurable parameter, the actual level may differ
from the configurable value according to the following rules:
If the SU was used since the configuration of the Initial Transmit
Power parameter with ATPC and the Save Power Level option
enabled, the SU starts transmitting using the most recent power
level.
During scanning the SU estimates the level at which it will be
received by the AU (RSSISU) when transmitting at a level
determined by the previous rule. This estimate is based on the
assumption that the AU transmits at 20dBm, using the following
formula: (RSSISU) = (RSSIAU)+ 20 -PSU, where RSSIAU is the level
at which the AU is received by the SU and PSU is the value
determined according to the previous rules. If the estimated signal
strength at the AU (RSSISU) is higher than -50dBm, the SU starts
transmitting at -2dBm.
If the SU does not succeed in establishing communication with the
AU, it increases the transmit power level by a configurable step and
continues to attempt communication. This process continues until
the SU succeeds in being authenticated by the AU. Once
authenticated, the SU increases the transmit level by 3dB to ensure
that the required level of communication with the AU is
maintained.
The parameters available through the Transmit Power Control sub-menu

differ for AUs and SUs. The only common parameter is, as follows:
♦ Transmit Power Control Algorithm: Enables or disables the
automatic transmit power control (ATPC) algorithm. To support proper
operation of the system with optimal performance and minimum
interference between neighboring sectors, the ATPC algorithm should
be enabled in all units.
The default value is Enable.

>>>
Figure 5-16: Transmit Power Control Menu – Access Unit
The Transmit Power Control menu in AUs is comprised of the following

options:
♦ Transmit Power: Enables you to configure the transmit power level of
the unit. This parameter is not part of the ATPC algorithm. The value of
the Transmit Power parameter is defined in dBm, using a resolution
of 0.25dBm. For example 20, 15.5,, 13.25.
The range and default value are dependent on the unit type, as follows:
Table 5-10: Transmit Power Values vs. AU Type
AU AU-HP
Range 8-20 (dBm) 12-25 (dBm)
Default 20 (dBm) 25 (dBm)
NOTE:
The minimum and maximum transmit power levels are determined by the hardware version
of the unit. Setting the value of the Transmit Power parameter outside the supported
range displays a warning message and the Transmit Power parameter is automatically
configured to the minimum/maximum transmit power level supported by the unit.
5-36
In a typical installation, set the output power of the AU to the

maximum available level to provide the best coverage for all associated
SUs.
♦ Minimum Interval Between Power Messages: The power up/down
messages are transmitted in special broadcast messages, where this
parameters sets the minimal time between consecutive messages.
Setting a low value for this parameter may lead to a higher overhead
and an excessive rate of power level changes at the SUs. Setting a high
value for this parameter increases the time it takes until the SUs reach
the optimal transmit power level.
Available values range from 5 to 60 seconds.
Default value: 12 seconds.
♦ Minimum RSSI Level: Enables you to define the lowest level at which
each SU is to be received at the AU. This means the lower limit of the
optimal reception level range.
Available values range from -90 to -60dBm.
Default value: -70dBm.
♦ Maximum RSSI Level: Enables you to define the highest level at which
each SU is to be received at the AU. This means the higher limit of the
optimal reception level range.
Available values range from -85 to -55dBm.
Default value: -65dBm.
♦ RSSI Memory Factor: Enables you to define the parameter that
determines the weight of history (value of last calculated average RSSI)
in the formula used for calculating the average RSSI. The higher the
value of this parameter, the higher the weight of history in the formula.
Available values range from 0 to 20.
Default value: 5

Figure 5-17: Transmit Power Control Menu – Subscriber Unit
The Transmit Power Control menu in SUs provides the following options:
♦ Initial Transmit Power: Enables you to configure the initial transmit
power level of the unit to be used after powering up. This value is used
in the following cases:
The ATPC algorithm is disabled.
ATPC is enabled and the estimated RSSI of the unit at the AU when
using this value does not exceed -50dBm.
ATPC is enabled and the Save Power Option is disabled.
ATPC is enabled for the first time since this parameter has been
configured or modified.
If the ATPC is disabled, this value defines the “fixed” transmit
power level.
If the Save Power Level option is enabled, the actual value of this
parameter changes in run time to the last transmit power level used.
Available values: -27 to 20dBm, using a resolution of 0.25dBm.
Default value: -2dBm
5-38
If the ATPC algorithm is disabled, it is recommended that the Initial

Transmit Power parameter for each SU be set to achieve a reception
level of -65dBm at the AU. Refer to Table 5-11 for the list of optimal
transmit power levels at various distances, assuming a free line of sight
between SU and AU.

500 -2 5000 18
550 -1 6000 19.75
600 -0.25 >6000 Pmax (20dBm)
NOTE:
The minimum and maximum transmit power levels are determined by the hardware version
of the unit. Setting the value of the Initial Transmit Power parameter outside the
supported range displays a warning message and the Initial Transmit Power parameter is
automatically configured to the minimum/maximum transmit power level supported by the
unit.
♦ Minimum Interval Between Scanning Power Level Changes:
Enables you to define the minimum time interval between two
consecutive changes of the transmit power level during scanning. The
higher the value of this parameter, the longer the time until optimal
performance is reached. The lower the value, the higher the probability
of a premature increase in power level caused by not waiting long
enough for an Authentication Response message from the AU.
Available values range from 5 to 60 seconds.
Default value: 12 seconds.
5-39
♦ Scanning Power Level Step: Enables you to define the increase in

transmit power level each time the SU cannot establish communication
with the AU during the scanning period.
Available values range from 0.25 to 10dB, using a 0.25dB resolution.
Default value: 1.0dB.
♦ Save Power Level: Enables or disables the Save Power Level option. If
enabled, the SU updates the value of the Initial Transmit Power
parameter to the value of the last actual transmit power level. The
updated value is used as the initial transmit level after reset unless,
during scanning, it is discovered that it may result in an RSSI higher
than -50dBm at the SU.
The default is Enable.
Network Management Parameters
The Network Management Parameters menu enables you to protect the

Unit from unauthorized access by defining a set of IP addresses from
which the unit will accept management messages using protocols such as
Telnet, TFTP, SNMP, ICMP and DHCP. This excludes management
messages generated in the unit, such as Traps or Ping Test frames, which
are not filtered. You can also determine the direction from which
management access is permitted, which means from the wireless media or
the wired Ethernet or both.

The default selection is From Both Ethernet & Wireless Link.
WARNING:
Be careful not to block your access to the unit. For example, if you manage an SU via the
wireless link, setting the Access to Network Management parameter to From Ethernet
Only completely blocks your management access to the unit. In this case, a technician
may be required to change the settings at the user’s site.
♦ Network Management Filtering: Enables or disables the IP
address-based management filtering option. If management filtering is
enabled, the unit can only be managed by stations with IP addresses
matching one of the entries in the Set Network Management IP
Addresses parameter, described below, and that are connected to the
unit via the defined port(s). Select from the following options:
Disabled: No IP address-based filtering is configured.
Enable Management IP Filtering on Ethernet Port: Applicable only if
the Access to Network Management parameter is configured to

The VLAN Support menu enables you to define the parameters related to
the IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLAN-aware (Virtual LAN-aware) feature of the
BreezeACCESS OFDM units. Each VLAN includes stations that can
communicate with each other, but cannot communicate with stations
belonging to different VLANs. The VLAN also provides the ability to set
traffic priorities for transmission of certain frames. The information related
to the VLAN is included in the VLAN Tag Header, which is inserted in each
frame between the MAC header and the data. VLAN implementation in
BreezeACCESS OFDM units supports frame routing by port information,
whereby each port is connected to only one VLAN.

The VLAN Support menu enables you to configure the following

parameters:
♦ VLAN ID-Data (SU unit only): Applicable for Access Links only.
Enables you to define the VLAN ID for data frames, which identifies the
VLAN to which the unit belongs.
Valid values range from 1 to 4094.
Default value: 1.
This affects frames received from the wireless link port, as follows:
Only tagged frames with a VLAN ID (VID) equal to the
VLAN ID - Data defined in the unit are forwarded to the Ethernet
port.
The tag headers are removed from the data frames received from
the wireless link before they are transmitted on the Ethernet port.
This affects frames received from the Ethernet port, as follows:

A VLAN Data Tag is inserted in all untagged frames received from
the Ethernet port before transmission on the wireless link. The tag
includes the values of the VLAN ID - Data and the
VLAN Priority - Data parameters.
Tagged frames received on Ethernet port, which are meant to be
forwarded to the wireless link port, are discarded. This includes
frames with tagging for prioritization purpose only.
5-46
♦ VLAN ID-Management (AU and SU): Applicable for all link types.
Enables you to define the VLAN ID for management frames, which
identifies remote stations for management purposes. This applies to all
management applications using protocols such as SNMP, TFTP, ICMP
(ping) and Telnet. All servers/stations using these protocols must tag
the management frames sent to the unit with the value of the
VLAN ID - Management parameter.
Valid values: 1 to 4094 or 65535 (No VLAN).
The default value is 65535.
If the VLAN ID – Management is other than 65535:

Only tagged management frames with a matching VLAN ID received
on either the Ethernet or wireless link ports are forwarded to the
unit.
A VLAN Management Tag is inserted in all management frames
generated by the unit before transmission on either the Ethernet or
wireless link port. The tag includes the values of the
VLAN ID - Management and the VLAN Priority - Management
parameters.
If the VLAN ID - Management is 65535 (No VLAN):

Only untagged management frames received on either the Ethernet
or wireless link ports are forwarded to the unit.
Management frames generated by the unit are not tagged.
The following table summarizes the functionality of the internal

management port in accordance with the value of the
VLAN ID - Management parameter. The table is valid for all link types.

WARNING
It is not recommended that you configure a unit as a Trunk Link with the
VLAN ID - Management parameter set at 65535, as it does not forward any ‘NO VLAN’
management frames to its other port making it impossible to manage devices connected
behind the unit that are also configured with ‘NO VLAN’.
If the VLAN Forwarding option is enabled, a data frame received with

a VLAN ID that is not a member of the unit’s VLAN Forwarding List is
discarded.
NOTE
If the VLAN Forwarding option is enabled, be sure to include the VLAN ID - Management
value of all units that should be managed via the wireless port of the unit, in the Forwarding
List.

If the VLAN Relaying option is enabled in an AU, a data frame relayed

with a VLAN ID that is not a member of the unit’s VLAN Relaying List is
discarded.
NOTE
If the VLAN Relaying option is enabled and you manage your devices from behind an SU
unit, be sure to include the VLAN ID - Management value of all units to be managed when
relaying via the wireless port of the AU unit, in the Relaying List. If the VLAN Forwarding
option is also enabled in the AU, these VLAN IDs should also be included in the
Forwarding List.

Forwarding Support is also enabled, it is necessary to configure all
the VLAN IDs in the Relaying List also in the Forwarding List to enable
the relaying operation.

number of VLAN IDs in the VLAN Relaying List is 128.
Valid values are 1 to 4094.
Remove Relaying VLAN ID: Enables you to remove a VLAN ID
from the VLAN ID Relaying List. Valid values are VID values (from 1
to 4094)) that are included in the VLAN Relaying List.

Show VLAN ID Relaying List: Displays the values of the VLAN IDs
included in the VLAN Relaying List.
NOTES:
If the VLAN ID Relaying List is empty and the VLAN Relaying Support is Enabled, then all
data frames relayed from the wireless link are discarded.
If VLAN Relaying Support and VLAN Forwarding Support are both enabled, then all
VLAN IDs configured in the Relaying List must also be configured in the Forwarding List.
♦ VLAN Traffic Priority (AU and SU): Beacons and other wireless
management frames have the highest priority and are submitted for
transmission without being submitted to the internal bridge. There are
4 priority queue to the internal bridge: The highest priority queue is for
management protocol frames (such as Telnet, ICMP, DHCP, SNMP)
whose designated recipient is known by the unit to be another
BreezeACCESS OFDM unit. In addition, there are 3 priority queues for
data frames received from the Ethernet port-Low, Mid and High. Each
data packet to be transmitted to the wireless link is transferred to one
of these three queues. Packets in the High queue have the highest
priority for transmission, and those in the Low queue have the lowest
priority.
BreezeACCESS Subscriber and Access units support layer-2 traffic

prioritization according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. The priority field
in the 802.1Q header tag can have a value in the range 0-7. This value
determines the relative priority of the packet and hence the queue to
which it should be transferred.
Tagged packets received from the Ethernet port that have a 802.1Q
priority lower than or equal to the value of the VLAN Priority Low
Threshold are routed to the Low queue.
priority higher than the value of the VLAN Priority Low Threshold
but lower than or equal to the VLAN Priority High Threshold are
routed to the Mid queue.
priority higher than the value of the VLAN Priority High Threshold
are routed to the High queue.
All other packets received from the Ethernet port are routed to the Low
queue.
5-52
NOTES:
If the VLAN Priority Low Threshold is configured to No Low Threshold, then the layer-2
prioritization mechanism will never send packets to the Low queue. Packets will be sent to
either the Med or High queue, depending on the VLAN Priority High Threshold.
If the VLAN Priority High Threshold is configured to No High Threshold, then the layer-2
prioritization mechanism will never send packets to the High queue. Packets will be sent to
either the Low or Mid queue, depending on the VLAN Priority High Threshold.
If both VLAN Priority Low Threshold and VLAN Priority High Threshold are configured to
No Low/High Threshold, then the layer-2 prioritization mechanism will never send packets
to the Low or High queues. All packets will be sent to the Mid queue.
If the VLAN Priority Low Threshold is equal to the VLAN High Threshold, then the layer-2
prioritization mechanism will never send packets to the Mid queue. Packets will be sent to
either the Low or High queue, depending on the VLAN Priority Low/High Threshold.
Since the system can also support layer-3 traffic prioritization based on
either ToS or DSCP (see IP Traffic Prioritization on page 5-54), the value
in the precedence field can also affect the prioritization mechanism. If
the queue selected by the layer-2 prioritization mechanism differs from
the one selected by the layer-3 prioritization mechanism, the packet
will be sent to the queue with the higher priority.

Figure 5-26: VLAN Traffic Priority Menu (SU)
The VLAN Traffic Priority menu provides the following parameters:

VLAN Priority – Data (SU only): Applicable for Access Links only.
Enables you to configure the value of the VLAN Priority field in the
VLAN tag header that is inserted in data frames transmitted to the
wireless link. This parameter only impacts the way that other
VLAN-aware devices handle the packet.
5-53
VLAN Priority – Management (AU and SU): Enables you to define

the value of the VLAN Priority field in the VLAN tag header that
inserted in management frames in units with
VLAN ID - Management that is other than 65535. This parameter
only impacts the way other VLAN-aware devices handle the packet.
The default value is 4 for SUs and 0 for AUs.
VLAN Priority Low Threshold (AU and SU): Applicable for Trunk
and Hybrid Links only. Enables you to define the value of the VLAN
Priority Low Threshold. This parameter impacts the way the
Layer-2 prioritization mechanism of the unit handles tagged
packets received from the Ethernet port, as describer on page 5-

IP Traffic Prioritization
The IP Traffic Prioritization menu enables you to set priority parameters to

support end-to-end IPv4 layer-3 prioritization according to the precedence
bits in the IP header. The layer-3 prioritization mechanism can be
configured to use either 3 ToS (Type of Service) bits in accordance with
RFC 791, or 6 DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) bits in accordance
with RFC 2474.
Packets received from the Ethernet port that have precedence lower than
or equal to the value of the applicable Low Threshold are routed to the Low
queue.
Packets received from the Ethernet port that have precedence higher than
the value of the applicable Low Threshold but lower than or equal to the
applicable High Threshold are routed to the Mid queue.
Packets received from the Ethernet port that have precedence higher than
the value of the applicable High Threshold are routed to the High queue.
NOTES:
If the applicable Low Threshold is configured to No Low Threshold, then the layer-3
prioritization mechanism will never send packets to the Low queue. Packets will be sent to
either the Mid or High queue, depending on the applicable High Threshold.
If the applicable High Threshold is configured to No High Threshold, then the layer-3
prioritization mechanism will never send packets to the High queue. Packets will be sent to
either the Low or Mid queue, depending on the applicable Low Threshold.
If both applicable Low Threshold and High Threshold are configured to No Low/High
Threshold, then the layer-3 prioritization mechanism will never send packets to the Low or
High queues. All packets will be sent to the Mid queue.
If the applicable Low Threshold is equal to the High Threshold, then the layer-3
prioritization mechanism will never send packets to the Mid queue. Packets will be sent to
either the Low or High queue, depending on the Low/High Threshold.
Since the system can also support layer-2 traffic prioritization based on
the priority field in the 802.Q VLAN header (see VLAN Traffic Priority on
page 5-51), the value of the priority field in the VLAN header can also affect
the prioritization mechanism. If the queue selected by the layer-2
prioritization mechanism (VLAN Priority) differs from the one selected by
the layer-3 prioritization mechanism, the packet will be sent to the queue
with the higher priority.
The IP Traffic Prioritization menu includes the following parameter:

♦ IP Traffic Prioritization Type: Enables selection between ToS based
(3 bits) and DSCP based (6 bits) prioritization mechanisms.
The default is ToS.
♦ ToS Low Threshold: Enables you to define the Low Threshold for the
ToS-based prioritization mechanism.
5-55
Valid values are 0 to 7 or 8. 8 is for No Low Threshold.

♦ ToS High Threshold: Enables you to define the High Threshold for the
ToS-based prioritization mechanism.
Valid values are 0 to 7 or 8. 8 is for No High Threshold.
The default value is 8 (No High Threshold).
♦ DSCP Low Threshold: Enables you to define the Low Threshold for the
DSCP-based prioritization mechanism.
Valid values are 0 to 63 or 64. 64 is for No Low Threshold.
♦ DSCP High Threshold: Enables you to define the High Threshold for
the DSCP-based prioritization mechanism.
Valid values are 0 to 63 or 64. 64 is for No High Threshold.
The default value is 64 (No High Threshold)..
Ethernet Broadcast Filtering (SU only)
The Ethernet Broadcast Filtering menu enables you to define the layer 2
(Ethernet) broadcast and multicast filtering capabilities for the selected
SU. Filtering the Ethernet broadcasts enhances the security of the system
and saves bandwidth on the wireless media by blocking protocols that are
typically used in the customer’s LAN but are not relevant for other
customers, such as NetBios, which is used by the Microsoft Network
Neighborhood. Enabling this feature blocks Ethernet broadcasts and
multicasts by setting the I/G bit at the destination address to 1. This
feature should not be enabled when there is a router behind the SU.

4 - ARP Broadcasts Override Filter
>>>
Figure 5-27: Ethernet Broadcast Filtering Menu

5-56
The Ethernet Broadcasting Filtering menu enables you to configure the

following parameters:
♦ Filter Options: Enables you to define the Ethernet Broadcast filtering
functionality of the unit. Select from the following options:
Disabled, which means no Ethernet Broadcast Filtering.
From Ethernet Only, which filters broadcast messages received
from the Ethernet port.
From Wireless Link Only, which filters broadcast messages
received from the wireless link port.
Both From Ethernet & Wireless Link, which filters broadcast
messages received from both the Ethernet and wireless link ports.
The default selection is Disabled.
♦ DHCP Broadcast Override Filter: Enables or disables the
broadcasting of DHCP messages. Even if according to the selected
option in the Filter Options parameter, broadcast messages should be
filtered, DHCP broadcasts are transmitted if this parameter is set to
Enable. Select from the following options:
Disable, which means that DHCP Broadcast messages are filtered
or transmitted according to the general filtering criteria in the
Filter Options parameter.
Enable, which means that DHCP Broadcast messages are
transmitted regardless of the selected value of the Filter Options
parameter.
♦ PPPoE Broadcast Override Filter: Enables or disables the
broadcasting of PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) messages.
Even if according to the selected option in the Filter Options
parameter, broadcast messages should be filtered, PPPoE broadcasts
are transmitted if this parameter is set to Enable. Select from the
following options:
Disable, which means that PPPoE Broadcast messages are filtered
or transmitted according to the general filtering criteria in the
Filter Options parameter.
Enable, which means that PPPoE Broadcast messages are
transmitted regardless of the selected value of the Filter Options
parameter.
♦ ARP Broadcast Override Filter: Enables or disables the broadcasting
of ARP messages. Even if according to the selected option in the Filter
Options parameter, broadcast messages should be filtered, ARP
broadcasts are transmitted if this parameter is set to Enable. Select
from the following options:
5-57
Disable, which means that ARP messages are filtered or

transmitted according to the general filtering criteria in the Filter
Options parameter.
Enable, which means that ARP messages are transmitted
regardless of the selected value of the Filter Options parameter.
The default selection is Enable.
Additional Bridge Parameters
The Bridge Parameters menu provides the following additional parameters:

♦ LAN to Wireless Link Bridging Mode (AU only): Enables you to
determine the mode of controlling the flow of information from the
Ethernet backbone to the wireless media. Select from the following
options:
Reject Unknown, which enables the AU to transmit packets only to
those addresses that the AU knows to exist on the wireless link
side.
Forward Unknown, which enables the transmission of all packets,
except those sent to addresses that the AU recognizes as being on
its wired Ethernet side.
The default selection is Forward Unknown.
♦ Bridge Aging Time: Enables you to select the bridge aging time for
learned addresses of devices on both the wired and wireless sides, not
including BreezeACCESS OFDM units.
The available range is 100 to 2000 seconds.
The default value is 300 seconds.
♦ Broadcast Relaying (AU only): Enables you to select whether the unit
performs broadcast relaying. When the Broadcast Relaying
parameter is enabled, broadcast packets originating from devices on
the wireless link are transmitted by the AU back to the wireless link
devices, as well as to the wired LAN. If disabled, these packets are sent
only to the local wired LAN and are not sent back to the wireless link.
Disable the broadcast relaying only if all broadcast messages from the
wireless link are certain to be directed to the wired LAN.
♦ Unicast Relaying (AU only): Enables you to select whether the unit
performs unicast relaying. When the Unicast Relaying parameter is
enabled, unicast packets originating from devices on the wireless link
can be transmitted back to the wireless link devices. If disabled, these
packets are not sent to the wireless link even if they are intended for
devices on the wireless link. Disable the Unicast Relaying parameter
only if all unicast messages from the wireless link are certain to be
directed to the local wired LAN.

Performance Parameters
The Performance Parameters menu enables you to define a series of

parameters that control the method by which traffic is transmitted through
the BreezeACCESS OFDM wireless access network.
======================
1 - RTS Threshold
2 - Number Of Re-Transmissions
3 - Number of Re-Transmissions To Decrease Rate
4 - Minimum Contention Window
6 – Packet Concatenation Option
7 – Maximum Multicast Rate
C – Contention Window Algorithm
T – Multi – Rate
S - Show Performance Parameters
>>>
Figure 5-28: Performance Parameters Menu (AU)
NOTE:
The Maximum Multicast Rate and Contention Window Algorithm options of the
Performance Parameters menu are only available to AUs.
5-59
The Performance Parameters menu provides the following parameters:
♦ RTS Threshold: Enables you to define the minimum frame size that
requires an RTS/CTS (Request To Send/Clear To Send) handshake.
Frames smaller than the RTS Threshold value are transmitted directly
to the wireless link without being preceded with RTS frames. Setting
this parameter to a value larger than the maximum frame size
eliminates the RTS/CTS handshake for frames transmitted by this
unit.
The available values range from 20 to 4096 bytes.
The default value is 60 bytes for SUs and 4096 for AUs. It is
recommended that these values be used to ensure that RTS/CTS is
never used in the AU. 4096 is the maximum size of a concatenated
frame including the 4 byte CRC.
♦ Number of Retransmissions: Enables you to define the maximum
number of times that an unacknowledged packet is retransmitted.
The available values range from 0, which means no retransmissions to
100.
♦ Number of Retransmissions to Decrease Rate: Enables you to define
the number of unsuccessful retransmissions that cause an automatic
decrease in the data rate before the next retransmission, given that the
lower the data rate, the higher the probability that the packet is
properly received and acknowledged. The count is reset each time the
rate is reduced, meaning that at each rate the maximum number of
transmission attempts equals the value of this parameter plus 1.
The available values range from 0, which means that the rate is
decreased after the first transmission attempt at each rate, to 10.
♦ Minimum Contention Window: Enables you to determine the time
that a unit waits from the time it has concluded that there are no
detectable transmissions by other units until it attempts to transmit.
The BreezeACCESS OFDM system uses a special mechanism that
analyzes AU transmissions in order to estimate the activity of the SUs
served by the AU. The object is to minimize collisions in the wireless
media resulting from attempts of more than one unit to transmit at the
same time. The contention window is a random number where the
maximum value is determined by the value of the Minimum
Contention Window parameter and the number of previous attempts
to transmit the frame. The higher the number of SUs served by the
same AU, the higher the Minimum Contention Window for each SU
should be.
5-60
This parameter has no effect if the Contention Window Algorithm

option at the AU is enabled.
The available values range from 7 to 511. The default value is 31.
♦ Contention Window Algorithm (AU only): When the Contention
Window Algorithm option is enabled, the AU dynamically decides on
the value to be used as the Minimum Contention Window by the AU as
well as by all SUs associated with it. The decision is based on the last
estimated number of active SUs, and is transmitted periodically to all
the SUs associated with the AU. When enabled, the value configured
for the Minimum Contention Window parameter is not applicable.
♦ Packet Concatenation Option: Enables or disables the packet
concatenation mechanism. When concatenation is enabled, data
packets in each queue in the internal bridge are accumulated up to a
maximum of 4092 bytes or 8 packets before the concatenated frame is
transmitted to the wireless media. In the AU, separate concatenation
queues are used to accumulate packets for each SU. This mechanism
improves throughput and reduces the overhead in the wireless media,
by only requiring one CRC for each concatenated frame, one RTS/CTS
cycle if applicable, and a single waiting period according to the
contention window mechanism before transmission.
♦ Maximum Multicast Rate (AU only): Enables you to determine the
maximum rate of multicast and broadcast transmissions. Multicast
and broadcast transmissions are not acknowledged; therefore if a
multicast or broadcast transmission is not properly received there is no
possibility of retransmitting. It is recommended that you set a lower
rate for broadcast and multicast frame transmissions to increase the
probability that they are received without errors.
The available selections and default value are dependent on the values
configured for the Channel Spacing parameter, as follows:
Table 5-16: Maximum Multicast Rate Values
Default Rate 1Mbps 2Mbps
NOTE:
The Maximum Multicast Rate cannot be lower than the Minimum Data Rate. Therefore,
the actual Maximum Multicast Rate is automatically set to the highest value defined for
either the Minimum Data Rate or the Maximum Multicast Rate parameters.
5-61
Multi-Rate
Link quality fluctuates due to various environmental conditions.

Dynamically switching between the possible transmission rates increases
the probability of using the maximum rate suitable for the current radio
link quality at any given moment. When enabled, transmission rate
decisions are made separately for each unit. This algorithm controls the
rate for first transmission trials, and is completely separated from the
retransmission mechanism defined by the Number of Retransmissions
To Decrease Rate parameter that controls rate changes for
retransmissions only.
The algorithm provides Access Units with simultaneous, adaptive support

for multiple Subscriber Units at different rates. The decision on the rate of
each transmission (first attempt) is based on counting transmissions,
retransmissions and successful windows. A window is defined as a series
of consecutive transmission or retransmission attempts. A successful
window is a window in which the number of failed transmissions does not
exceed a defined threshold. A transmission is defined as failed if an ACK is
not received after the first frame transmission.
If the current rate is lower than the maximum available rate the
transmission rate is increased to the next available rate after a number of
successful windows. In order to minimize fluctuations, the number of
successful windows at a certain rate required to reach a decision to
increase the rate depends on the previous number of unsuccessful
windows at the higher data rate. The higher the number of previous
unsuccessful windows at a specific data rate, the higher the number of
required consecutive successful windows at the lower data rate prior to
increasing the data rate.
If the current rate is higher than the minimum available rate, following a
failed window, the transmission rate is decreased to the next available
rate. However, to reduce the effect of failures due to collisions rather than
a poor link quality, the number of failures required for decision on a failed
window may be increased automatically under certain conditions. These
conditions include the measured RSSI and the current rate. Thus, in
relatively good links, more stringent conditions should be met before
decreasing the rate to a rate that is clearly below the expected performance
level.

Multi – Rate Parameters
=======================
1 - Multi-Rate Support
2 - Multi-Rate Decision Window Size
3 - Number of Failures in Multi-Rate Decision Window
4 - Supported Rates
>>>
Figure 5-29: Multi – Rate Parameters Menu (SU)

NOTE:
The Supported Rates option of the Multi-Rate Parameters menu is not available for AUs.
The Multi-Rate Parameters menu includes the following parameters:

♦ Multi-Rate Support: Enables or disables the Multi-Rate decision
algorithm. When enabled, the algorithm supports decrease/increase of
transmission rates from the lowest possible data rate to the current
value of the Maximum Data Rate parameter. If the Maximum Data
Rate is set at the lowest possible data rate, the Multi Rate Support
has no effect. The lowest supported rate is determined by the Channel
Spacing and Minimum Data Rate parameters.
The default selection is Enabled.
♦ Multi-Rate Decision Window Size: Enables you to determine the size
of the decision window, which is defined as the number of consecutive
transmission or retransmission attempts. Increasing the size of the
window typically increases the probability that it is a successful
window, thus slowing down the decision to decrease to a lower rate
and accelerating the decision to increase to a higher rate.
5-63
♦ Number of Failures in Multi-Rate Decision Window: Enables you to

define the maximum number of failures permitted in a decision
window. A window is defined as successful only if the number of
failures does not exceed this value. A transmission attempt is defined
as a failure if an ACK is not received on the first transmission attempt.
Increasing the value of this parameter increases the probability that it
is a successful window, thus slowing down the decision to decrease to
a lower rate and accelerating the decision to increase to a higher rate.
Available value range is from 1 to the value of the Multi-Rate Decision
Window Size parameter.
The default value is 5 for a Channel Spacing of 1.75 MHz and 7 for a
Channel Spacing of 3.5 MHz.

5-66
♦ MIR and CIR Parameters: The CIR (Committed Information Rate)

specifies the minimum data rate guaranteed to the relevant subscriber.
The MIR (Maximum Information Rate) value specifies the maximum
data rate available for burst transmissions, provided such bandwidth is
available.
Under normal conditions, the actual Information Rate (IR) is between
the applicable CIR and MIR values, based on the following formula:
IR=CIR+K(MIR-CIR).
In this formula K is between 0 and 1 and is determined dynamically by
the AU according to overall demand in the cell and the prevailing
conditions that influence the performance of the wireless link. In some
situations the minimum rate (CIR) cannot be provided. This may result
from high demand and poor wireless link conditions and/or high
demand in over-subscribed cells. When this occurs, the actual
information rate is lower than the CIR.
The simple solution for managing the information rate in such cases
can result in an unfair allocation of resources, as subscribers with a
higher CIR actually receive an IR lower than the CIR designated for
subscribers in a lower CIR bracket.
A special algorithm for graceful degradation is incorporated into the
AU, ensuring that the degradation of performance for each individual
Subscriber Unit is proportional to its CIR.
The MIR/CIR algorithm uses buffers to control the flow of data. To
balance the performance over time, a special Burst Duration algorithm
is employed to enable higher transmission rates after a period of
inactivity. If no data is received from the Ethernet port during the last
N seconds, the unit is allowed to transmit N times its CIR value
without any delay. For example, after a period of inactivity of 0.5
seconds, a unit with CIR = 64Kbps can transmit up to 64Kbits x 0.5 =
32Kbits without any delay.

MIR/CIR Option (AU only): Enables or disables the MIR/CIR
support feature.
The MIR/CIR Option in the AU controls the operation of the entire
cell.
5-68
MIR: AU to SU (SU only): Sets the Maximum Information Rate of

the downlink from the AU to the SU. The MIR value cannot be lower
than the corresponding CIR value.
Available values range from 32 to 8192 Kbps.
The default value is 128 Kbps.
MIR: SU to AU (SU only): Sets the Maximum Information Rate of
the up-link from the SU to the AU. The MIR value cannot be lower
than the corresponding CIR value.
CIR: AU to SU (SU only): Sets the Committed Information Rate of
the down-link from the AU to the SU. The CIR value cannot be
higher than the corresponding MIR value.
CIR: SU to AU (SU only): Sets the Committed Information Rate of
the up-link from the SU to the AU. The CIR value cannot be higher
than the corresponding MIR value.
Maximum Burst Duration (SU and AU): Sets the maximum time
for accumulating burst transmission rights according to the Burst
Duration algorithm.
Available values range from 0 to 2000 (milliseconds).
The default value is 5 (milliseconds), enabling a maximum burst of
(0.005 X CIR) Kbps after a period of inactivity of 5 milliseconds or
more.
Maximum Delay (SU only): Sets the maximum permitted delay in
the buffers system. Since certain applications are very sensitive to
delay, if relatively high delays are permitted, these applications may
suffer from poor performance due to data accumulation in the
buffers from other applications, such as FTP. The Maximum Delay
parameter limits the number of available buffers. Data that is
delayed more than the permitted maximum delay is discarded. If
the SU supports applications that are very sensitive to delay, the
value of the Maximum Delay should be decreased.
Valid values range from 300 to 10000 (milliseconds).
The default value is 5000 (milliseconds).
5-69
Graceful Degradation Limit (AU only): Sets the limit on using the
graceful degradation algorithm. In cases of over demand, the
performance of all SUs is degraded proportionally to their CIR
(IR=(100%-k%) x CIR). The graceful degradation algorithm is used
as long as k ≤K, where K is the Graceful Degradation Limit.
Beyond this point the simple “brute force” algorithm is used. The
Graceful Degradation Limit should be raised in proportion to the
demand in the cell. The higher the expected demand in a cell, the
higher the value of the Graceful Degradation Limit. Higher
demand can be expected in cases of significant over-subscription
and/or in deployments where a high number of subscribers are in
locations are not enabled for proper communication with the AU at
the highest data rate.
The available values range from 0 to 70 (%).
The default value is 70 (%).
MIR Only Option (AU only): Enables or disables forcing the
MIR/CIR algorithm to use MIR values only. The MIR/CIR algorithm
determines the actual information rate for each of the supported
SUs under changing conditions of demand, based on the configured
CIR and MIR values. When the MIR Only Option is enabled, the
MIR/CIR algorithm is overridden and forced to operate with MIR
values only. For example, the AU attempts to enable all SUs to
transmit/receive information at the specified MIR value. When
enabled, the graceful degradation algorithm, which is a part of the
CIR/MIR algorithm, is also disabled.
The default is Disable.

Privacy (WEP) algorithm defined in the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN
standard. The WEP is based on the RSA’s RC4 encryption algorithm.
Security Parameters
===================
1 - Authentication Algorithm
2 - Default Key ID
A - WEP Key #1
B - WEP Key #2
C - WEP Key #3
D - WEP Key #4
S - Show Security Parameters
>>>
Figure 5-34: Security Parameters Menu (SU)
NOTE:
The Default Key ID option is only available to SUs.
The following parameters are available through the Security Parameters

menu:
♦ Authentication Algorithm: Determines the operation mode of the
selected unit. Select from the following options:
Open System: An SU configured to Open System can only
associate with an AU also configured to Open System. In this case,
the WEP algorithm is not used.
Shared Key: The authentication messages are encrypted. An SU
configured to use a Shared Key can only be authenticated by an
AU configured to use a Shared Key, provided the applicable WEP
Key (which means both the key number and its content) in the AU
is identical to the key selected as the Default Key in the SU.
The default is Open System.
NOTE:
The Shared Key option cannot be selected before at least one WEP Key is defined. In the
SU, a Default Key ID that refers to a valid WEP Key must be selected.
5-71
♦ Default Key ID (SU only): Defines the ID of the key to be used for
encrypting/decrypting the authentication messages.
The default is WEP KEY # 1.
♦ WEP KEY # 1 through WEP KEY # 4: Enables you to enter the
encryption key to be used for initializing the pseudo-random number
generator. The WEP Keys must be set before the Shared Key
authentication mode can be used. Subscriber Units must use the same
WEP Key as the Access Unit.
The WEP Key is a string of 10 hexadecimal numbers.
The default for all 4 keys is a string of 10 zeros, which means no key.
NOTE:
To enhance system security, change the WEP Keys periodically.
5-72
Software Version Loading

Procedure
Firmware upgrades to the unit's FLASH memory are performed by a
simple loading procedure using a TFTP application. Before performing
an upgrade procedure, be sure you have the correct files and most
recent instructions.
Upgrade packages can be obtained from the Technical Support section
of Alvarion’s web site, www.alvarion.com.
NOTE:
Shutting down power to the unit before completion of the loading procedure may cause the
unit to be inoperable.
To load software versions:
1. Verify that IP connectivity to the required unit is established.
2. Ensure that the IP address of the PC from which the upgrade is to be
performed belongs to the same subnet as the unit to be upgraded,
unless the unit is behind a router. If the unit is behind a router, verify
that the unit is configured with the correct Default Gateway
Address.
3. To view the current IP parameters of the unit, use the Monitor
program by connecting the PC to the unit either directly or via Telnet.
To access the IP parameters via the Monitor program:
1. From the Main Menu select 1 – Info Screens.
2. From the Info Screen menu select 2 – Show Basic Configuration.

The current basic configuration is displayed, including the run-time
values for the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
Address parameters.
4. To modify any of the IP parameters:
1. From the Main Menu, select 3 – Basic Configuration.
2. To configure the IP address, select: 1 – IP Address.
3. To configure the subnet mask, select 2 – Subnet Mask.
4. To configure the default gateway address, select 3 - Default

Gateway Address.
5. To verify the connection, PING the unit’s IP address and verify that
PING replies are being received.
5-73
6. Use the TFTP utility, with the following syntax, to perform the
upgrade:
tftp –i hostaddress put sourcefile [destinationfile]
where -i is for binary mode and hostaddress is the IP address of the
unit to be upgraded. put causes the PC client to send a file to the
hostaddress. destinationfile is the name of the file to be loaded.
7. Use the following table to determine which source file name to use,
according to the unit’s type.
Table 5-17: Upgrade Source File Names
Unit Type Source File Name
AU OFX.BS
SU OFX.SU
Note that X is a number of up to five digits that represents the version

number. For example, version 3.0.3 will require file OF303.BS or
OF303.SU.
8. Use the SNMP write community <SnmpWriteCommunity>.dwn to
define the destination filename. The default write community is
private. For example, to load the upgrade file OF303.BS to an AU
whose IP address is 206.25.63.65:
tftp –i 206.25.63.65 put OF303.BS private.dwn
9. When the loading is complete, the following message is displayed:
Download operation has been completed successfully
10. The FLASH memory can store two software versions. One version is
called Current and the second version is called Shadow. The new
version is loaded into the Shadow (backup) FLASH memory. To check
that the new firmware was properly downloaded, view the firmware
versions stored in the FLASH, as follows:
1. From the Main Menu, select 2 – Unit Control.
2. From the Unit Control menu, select 5 – Flash Memory Control.
3. From the Flash Memory Control menu, select S – Show Flash
Versions. The following information is displayed:
Flash Versions
===========
Current Version: 2.1.6
Shadow Version: 3.0.3
Version After Reset: 2.1.6
5-74
11. Use the Flash Memory Control menu to select the active software
version, as follows:
1. To activate the backup (shadow) version, from the Flash Memory
Control menu select 1 - Reset and Boot from Shadow Version.
Then, select 1 – Reset Now and press ENTER.
The unit is reset and the Shadow version is used as the active
version. Note that after the next reset, the Current version is
activated again.
2. If the active version is the Shadow version and should continue to
be used after the next reset, from the Flash Memory Control menu,
select 2 - Use Current Version After Reset. Then, select 1 - Set
As Default Now and press ENTER. This causes the names of the
two versions to be swapped.
The Shadow version is now the Current version and the old
Current version is the Shadow version. The following message is
displayed: UP (DOWN) Image FLASH will be operational. UP
or DOWN refers to the location in the flash memory.
NOTE:
The loading procedure is protected. Attempting to load the wrong source file causes the
operation to be rejected. For example, attempting to load the OFX.BS to a Subscriber Unit
will fail.
5-75
Configuration Download and

Upload
The BreezeACCESS OFDM Configuration Download/Upload feature
simplifies the task of remotely configuring a large number of units using
TFTP protocol.
By downloading the configuration file to a PC it is possible to view all the

parameters configured for the unit, as a plain ASCII text file.
It is necessary to edit the file using a simple editor and remove certain
parameters or change their values prior to uploading the configuration to
another unit.
When multiple configurations are being done simultaneously, which

means that the file is being uploaded to several units, it is recommended
that the file only include the required parameters.
In the configuration file, each parameter is represented by three fields:

1. A symbolic string similar to the name of the parameter in the Monitor
program, followed by “=”.
2. The value of the parameters, which uses the same values as the
Monitor program.
3. An optional comment. If used, the comment should start with a “;”
character.
The unit ignores an unknown parameter or a known parameter with a

value that is invalid or out-of-range.
Use the SNMP write community string (the default is private) to define
both the uploaded file (put) and the downloaded file (get).
For example, SnmpWriteCommunity.cfg
The file should be transferred in ASCII mode.
For Example:
To upload the configuration file using a DOS based TFTP Client to an SU
whose IP address is 206.25.63.65, enter
tftp 206.25.63.65 put Suconf private.cfg
To download the configuration file from the same unit, enter

tftp 206.25.63.65 get private.cfg Suconf
