Figure 86: Security tab of AP, example In the Security tab of the AP, you may set the following parameters. Authentication Mode If the AP has authentication capability, then you can use this field to select from among the following authentication modes: ◦ Authentication Disabled—the AP requires no SMs to authenticate. Installation and Configuration Guide Re le ase 8 252 Dra f t 2 for Regula tory Review Issue 2, December 2006 ◦ Authentication Required—the AP requires any SM that attempts registration to be authenticated in BAM or Prizm before registration. If the AP does not have authentication capability, then this parameter displays Authentication Not Available. Authentication Server 1 to 3 If either BAM or the BAM subsystem in Prizm is implemented and the AP has authentication capability, enter the IP address of one or more BAM servers that perform authentication for SMs registered to this AP. Enter these in order of primary, secondary, then tertiary. Encryption Specify the type of air link security to apply to this AP: ◦ Encryption Disabled provides no encryption on the air link. This is the default mode. ◦ Encryption Enabled provides encryption, using a factory-programmed secret key that is unique for each module. Encrypt Downlink Broadcast When Encryption Enabled is selected in the Airlink Security parameter (described above) and Enable is selected in the Encrypt Downlink Broadcast parameter, the AP encrypts downlink broadcast packets as ◦ DES where the AP is DES capable. ◦ AES where the AP is AES capable. For more information about the Encrypt Downlink Broadcast feature, see Encrypting Downlink Broadcasts on Page 380. SM Display of AP Evaluation Data You can use this field to suppress the display of data about this AP on the AP Evaluation tab of the Tools page in all SMs that register. Web, Telnet, FTP Session Timeout Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via HTTP, telnet, or ftp access to the AP. IP Access Control You can permit access to the AP from any IP address (IP Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to access from only one, two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access Filtering Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted from any IP address, including access and management by Prizm. Allowed Source IP 1 to 3 If you selected IP Access Filtering Enabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted to the AP from any IP address. You may populate as many as all three. If you selected IP Access Filtering Disabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then no entries in this parameter are read, and access from all IP addresses is permitted. Re le ase 8 Installation and Configuration Guide Issue 2, December 2006 Dra f t 2 for Regula tory Review 253 The Security tab of the AP also provides the following buttons. Save Changes When you click this button, any changes that you made on this tab are recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of the module. Reboot When you click this button 1. the module reboots. 2. any changes that you saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented. 18.1.7 VLAN Tab of the AP An example of the AP VLAN tab is displayed in Figure 87. Figure 87: VLAN tab of AP, example In the VLAN tab of the AP, you may set the following parameters. VLAN Specify whether VLAN functionality for the AP and all linked SMs should (Enabled) or should not (Disabled) be allowed. The default value is Disabled. Installation and Configuration Guide Re le ase 8 254 Dra f t 2 for Regula tory Review Issue 2, December 2006 Dynamic Learning Specify whether the AP should (Enabled) or should not (Disabled) add the VLAN IDs (VIDs) of upstream frames to the VID table. (The AP passes frames with VIDs that are stored in the table both upstream and downstream.) The default value is Enabled. Allow Frame Types Select the type of arriving frames that the AP should tag, using the VID that is stored in the Untagged Ingress VID parameter. The default value is All Frames. VLAN Aging Timeout Specify how long the AP should keep dynamically learned VIDs. The range of values is 5 to 1440 (minutes). The default value is 25 (minutes). NOTE: VIDs that you enter for the Management VID and VLAN Membership parameters do not time out. Management VID Enter the VID that the operator wishes to use to communicate with the module manager. The range of values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1. SM Management VID Pass-through Specify whether to allow the SM (Enable) or the AP (Disable) to control the VLAN settings of this SM. The default value is Enable. CAUTION! Do not set this parameter to Enable where both ◦ a BAM release earlier than 2.1 is implemented. ◦ the Configuration Source parameter in the AP is set to BAM. This combination causes the SMs to become unmanageable, until you gain direct access with an override plug and remove this combination from the AP configuration. Save Changes When you click this button, any changes that you made on this tab are recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of the module. Reboot When you click this button 1. the module reboots. 2. any changes that you saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented.

Re le ase 8 Installation and Configuration Guide Issue 2, December 2006 Dra f t 2 for Regula tory Review 301 RECOMMENDATION: Note the color code that you enter. Ensure that you can readily associate this color code both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module. Sector ID You can optionally enter an identifier to distinguish this link. Downlink Data The operator specifies the percentage of the aggregate (uplink and downlink total) throughput that is needed for the downlink. The default for this parameter is 50%. Transmit Frame Spreading If you select Enable, then a BHS between two BHMs can register in the assigned BHM (not the other BHM). Canopy strongly recommends that you select this option. With this selection, the BHM does not transmit a beacon in each frame, but rather transmits a beacon in only pseudo-random frames in which the BHS expects the beacon. This allows multiple BHMs to send beacons to multiple BHSs in the same range without interference. Transmitter Output Power Nations and regions may regulate transmitter output power. For example ◦ Both 900-MHz and 5.7-GHz modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. In addition to setting the power in the 5.7-GHz connectorized module, the operator must set the antenna gain/cable loss such that the module can accurately report received power at the antenna. ◦ Legal maximum allowable transmitter output power and EIRP (Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power) in the 2.4-GHz frequency band varies by country and region. The output power of Series P9 2.4-GHz modules can be adjusted to meet these national or regional regulatory requirements. ◦ Countries and regions that permit the use of the 5.4-GHz frequency band (CEPT member states, for example), generally require equipment using the band to have adjustable power. The professional installer of Canopy equipment has the responsibility to ◦ maintain awareness of applicable regulations. ◦ calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. ◦ confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional regulations. ◦ confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults. For information on how to calculate the permissible transmitter output power to enter in this parameter, see Adjusting Transmitter Output Power on Page 326. The Radio tab also provides the following buttons.

Re le ase 8 Installation and Configuration Guide Issue 2, December 2006 Dra f t 2 for Regula tory Review 303 18.4.4 SNMP Tab of the BHM An example of the SNMP tab in a BHM is displayed in Figure 109. Figure 109: SNMP tab of BHM, example In the SNMP tab of the BHM, you may set the following parameters. Installation and Configuration Guide Re le ase 8 304 Dra f t 2 for Regula tory Review Issue 2, December 2006 Community String Specify a control string that allows Prizm or a Network Management Station (NMS) to access the module through SNMP. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopy. The Community String value is clear text and is readable by a packet monitor. Additional security derives from the configuration of the Accessing Subnet, Trap Address, and Permission parameters. Accessing Subnet Specify the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests to this BHM. Prizm or the NMS has an address that is among these addresses (this subnet). You must enter both ◦ The network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ◦ The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form /xx For example ◦ the /16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (the first 16 bits in the address range are identical among all members of the subnet). ◦ 192.168.102.0 specifies that any device whose IP address is in the range 192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send SNMP requests to the BHM, presuming that the device supplies the correct Community String value. NOTE: For more information on CIDR, execute an Internet search on “Classless Interdomain Routing.” The default treatment is to allow all networks access. Trap Address 1 to 10 Specify ten or fewer IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) to which trap information should be sent. Trap information informs Prizm or an NMS that something has occurred. For example, trap information is sent ◦ after a reboot of the module. ◦ when Prizm or an NMS attempts to access agent information but either − supplied an inappropriate community string or SNMP version number. − is associated with a subnet to which access is disallowed. Trap Enable Select either Sync Status or Session Status to enable SNMP traps. If you select neither, then traps are disabled. Read Permissions Select Read Only if you wish to disallow any parameter changes by Prizm or an NMS. Re le ase 8 Installation and Configuration Guide Issue 2, December 2006 Dra f t 2 for Regula tory Review 305 Site Name Specify a string to associate with the physical module.

The proper angle of tilt can be calculated as a factor of both the difference in elevation and the distance that the link spans. Even in this case, a plumb line and a protractor can be helpful to ensure the proper tilt. This tilt is typically minimal. The number of degrees to offset (from vertical) the mounting hardware leg of the support tube is equal to the angle of elevation from the lower module to the higher module (b in the example provided in Figure 40 on Page 145). 19.9.3 Mounting Assembly Both the hardware that Mounting Assembly 27RD provides for adjustment and the relationship between the offset angle of the module and the direction of the beam are illustrated in Figure 140.

Access the General tab of the Configuration page in the BHM. 2. If this is a 20-Mbps BH, set the 2X Rate parameter to Disabled (temporarily for easier course aiming). 3. Click the Save Changes button. 4. Click the Reboot button. 5. After the reboot is completed, remove power from the BHM. 6. Choose the best mounting location for your particular application. 7. Attach the BHM to the arm of the Canopy Passive Reflector dish assembly as shown in Figure 141. RECOMMENDATION: The arm is molded to receive and properly aim the module relative to the aim of the dish. ( See Figure 138 on Page 352.) Stainless steel hose clamps should be used for the attachment. Re le ase 8 Installation and Configuration Guide Issue 2, December 2006 Dra f t 2 for Regula tory Review 355 Stainless steel hose clamps Reflector dish arm Figure 141: BH attachment to reflector arm 8. Align the BHM as follows: a. Move the module to where the link will be unobstructed by the radio horizon and no objects penetrate the Fresnel zone. (The Canopy System Calculator page AntennaElevationCalcPage.xls automatically calculates the minimum antenna elevation that is required to extend the radio horizon to the other end of the link. The Canopy System Calculator page FresnelZoneCalcPage.xls automatically calculates the Fresnel zone clearance that is required between the visual line of sight and the top of a high-elevation object.) b. Use a local map, compass, and/or GPS device as needed to determine the direction to the BHS. c. Apply the appropriate degree of downward or upward tilt. (The Canopy System Calculator page DowntiltCalcPage.xls automatically calculates the angle of antenna downward tilt that is required.) d. Ensure that the BHS is within the beam coverage area. (The Canopy System Calculator page BeamwidthRadiiCalcPage.xls automatically calculates the radii of the beam coverage area.) 9. Using stainless steel hose clamps or equivalent fasteners, lock the BHM into position. 10. Remove the base cover of the BHM. (See Figure 52 on Page 178.) 11. If this BHM will not be connected to a CMMmicro, optionally connect a utility cable to a GPS timing source and then to the RJ-11 port of the BHM. 12. Either connect the BHM to the CMM or connect the DC power converter to the BHM and then to an AC power source. RESULT: When power is applied to a Canopy module or the unit is reset on the web-based interface, the module requires approximately 25 seconds to boot. During this interval, self-tests and other diagnostics are being performed. 13. Access the General tab of the Configuration page of this BHM. 14. If the CMM is a CMMmicro, set the Sync Input parameter to the Sync to Received Signal (Power Port) selection. If the CMM is a CMM2, set the Sync Input parameter to the Sync to Received Signal (Timing Port) selection. =========================== end of procedure =========================== Installation and Configuration Guide Re le ase 8 356 Dra f t 2 for Regula tory Review Issue 2, December 2006 19.11 INSTALLING A BH TIMING SLAVE Installing a Canopy BHS consists of two procedures: ◦ Physically installing the BHS and performing a course alignment using the alignment tone (Procedure 31). ◦ Verifying the BH link and finalizing alignment using review of power level and jitter, link tests, and review of registration and session counts (Procedure 32 on Page 357). Procedure 31: Installing the BHS 1. Choose the best mounting location for the BHS. 2. Remove the base cover of the BHS. (See Figure 52 on Page 178.) 3.
