CHAPTER 6. BSU AND S UBSCRIBER CONFIGURATION6–6070-20000340-01 Rev AManaging Configuration FilesBefore using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager, be sure you understand theprinciples of configuration file management discussed below.Opening and Loading FilesWhen you click on the BSU or subscriber Indoor Unit (CPE) icon on the WaveCenterConfiguration Manager home screen, a new (“blank”) configuration file is openedwith the default parameters. You can then load an existing file by selecting File —Open from the menu bar, or the file open icon on the toolbar. The Configuration Man-ager will let you browse for the desired file.NOTE: Some screens have a new instance icon on the right side. This icon does notcause a new configuration file to be opened; rather, it causes a new instance to beopened, and is displayed only on pages which can be configured multiple times formultiple instances (such as multiple SNMP managers; see Figure6-2).Saving FilesThere are two methods for saving configuration files, as identified in Table6-A:•Selecting File — Save as from the page menu line. The Configuration Managerwill prompt for a file name.•Clicking on the Generate BSC Config or Generate Configuration File (CPE)button. The Configuration Manager will prompt with the suggested file namein the format bsc_<MACaddress>.cfg or cpe_<MACaddress>.cfg, using theMAC address entered during configuration. See the discussion of file namesbelow.NOTE: Some screens have a page save icon on the right side. This icon does notcause the configuration file to be saved; rather, it causes the current instance to beadded to the configuration file which is being created or modified. The page saveicon is displayed only on pages which can be configured multiple times for multipleinstances (such as multiple SNMP managers; see Figure6-2).File NamesConfiguration files are required to have unique names so that each BSU and sub-scriber Indoor Unit can download the correct configuration file from the TFTP server.Table6-B identifies the naming convention suggested by Aperto, which uses MACaddresses to guarantee uniqueness. These are the default names used when you clickon the Generate BSC Config or Generate Configuration File button, as described above.While the naming convention identified in Table6-B is recommended, it is notrequired. You can use any other format you wish, as long as the names are unique.

$6–7070-20000340-01 Rev ACHAPTER 6. BSU AND S UBSCRIBER CONFIGURATIONStorage LocationTo be accessed by the Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units when they boot,the configuration files must be specified in the DHCP server’s configuration file andstored in the default directory (typically, \tftpboot) of the TFTP server. You can savedirectly to that directory when creating the configuration files, or save to a differentlocation and then transfer the files before booting the configured units.Configuration Template FilesIt will often be efficient to create generic configuration files which can be used astemplates when adding new BSUs, WSSs, or subscribers.You create and save a configuration template the same way you create and save a con-figuration file, but save it with a descriptive file name rather than a file name linkingit by MAC address to a specific unit. Then, when you want to use the template as thebasis for a new configuration file, you load the template, make any changes necessary,and save the file using the correct file name for the new unit.NOTE: Similarly, you can base a new configuration file on an existing configurationfile by loading the existing file, editing it, and saving it using the proper file namefor the new unit.Downloading Configuration FilesAfter the configuration files have been created and stored on the TFTP server, the con-figured devices need to be booted up. (The Base Station Unit must be operationalwhen a subscriber Indoor Unit is initialized, or the initialization will fail.) The booteddevice will then automatically download its configuration from the TFTP server.Each Base Station Unit and subscriber Indoor Unit stores its configuration innon-volatile memory. When it reboots, it downloads the latest configuration fromthe TFTP server if it is able to, and then makes any changes to its configurationbased on a comparison of the downloaded configuration with the stored configu-ration. If the device cannot successfully download its configuration from theTFTP server, it operates with its stored configuration.Table6-B Suggested Convention for Naming Configuration FilesConfigured Entity File Name Format ExampleBase Station Unit bsc_<MACaddress>.cfg bsc_00013b0002e4.cfg(for MAC 00:01:3b:00:02:e4)Subscriber cpe_<MACaddress>.cfg cpe_00013b00025d.cfg(for MAC 00:01:3b:00:02:5d)$

6–39070-20000340-01 Rev ACHAPTER 6. BSU AND S UBSCRIBER CONFIGURATIONOTHER CONFIGURATION METHODSOnly configuration changes made using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager canaffect the PacketWave System’s configuration file on the TFTP server.A limited set of configuration changes can be made in real time via the Web andSNMP interfaces. But such changes are not recorded in, and cannot be saved to, theconfiguration files on the TFTP server. When the configured equipment (Base StationUnit or subscriber Indoor Unit) is rebooted, it will revert to the parameters in thestored configuration file, and all changes made via the Web interface or SNMP willbe lost.Therefore, configuration changes via the Web Interface or SNMP are recommendedonly for testing and troubleshooting purposes. Should a configuration change need tobe made permanent, you must use the WaveCenter Configuration Manager to updatethe relevant configuration file on the TFTP server.NOTE: If a configuration change is made to operating parameters using the Web orSNMP interface, and then duplicated using the CM and saved to the TFTP server,the change will essentially survive a reboot. This is a way to make permanent con-figuration changes without immediately rebooting the system.

CHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP7–2070-20000340-01 Rev AFigure 7-1 PacketWave System ServersRequired and Recommended ServersMake sure that the Base Station Unit can access the following servers:•DHCP Server — The server from which the Base Station Units and subscriberIndoor Units obtain:-IP addresses-Subnet masks-Default gateways-TFTP server IP address-Other server IP addresses-BSU and SU configuration file namesNOTE: If the DHCP and the BSU are not on the same subnet, the BSU’s subnetmust include a DHCP relay agent to pass the BSU’s DHCP requests to the properDHCP server. Also, subscriber Indoor Units can collectively be assigned a differentDHCP server than the one used by the BSU.

7–3070-20000340-01 Rev ACHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP•TFTP Server — The server from which the Base Station Units and subscriberIndoor Units download configuration files.•SNTP Server — A Simple Network Time Protocol server is recommended forsynchronizing the PacketWave Base Station Unit’s date and time with othersystems on the network. (If there is no SNTP server, the Base Station Unit’sdate and time must be set via the Web interface.)NOTE: Subscriber Indoor Units obtain the date and time from the BSU. Wheneverthe BSU’s date/time is changed, it downloads the new date/time to all subscriberIndoor Units.•DNS Server — Access to a DNS server is necessary for the resolution ofInternet domain names.Optional ServersDepending on the features and functions to be implemented, additional servers maybe required. These servers can be identified in the DHCP server configuration or inthe BSU configuration.NOTE: If different servers of a particular type are identified, the server identified inthe DHCP configuration will prevail.•SMTP Server — A Simple Mail Transfer Protocol server is required for theemailing of event alerts. (Alternatively, this server can be identified in the BSUconfiguration.)•Syslog Server — A syslog server may be specified for logging of event mes-sages from the Base Station Units. (Alternatively, this server can be identifiedin the BSU configuration.)•DHCP Server for CPE — A different DHCP server than the one used for theBSU can be specified for Subscriber Indoor Units.•SNMP Managers — All Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Unitsinclude SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agents which can beaccessed by an SNMP manager for monitoring and limited configuration.The SMTP, Syslog, and CPE DHCP servers can be identified via the WaveCenterConfiguration Manager’s BSU — MAIN — IP Servers screen. (The SMTP andSyslog servers can also be specified in the DHCP server’s configuration file.) TheSNMP managers are identified via the BSU — SNMP and CPE — SNMP screen

$CHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP7–4070-20000340-01 Rev APreparing the TFTP ServerThe PacketWave System uses the TFTP server for storing files and downloading themto Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units on request. Any third-party or pub-lic domain TFTP server may be used.Ensure that configuration files for all Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Unitsare stored in the default directory (typically \tftpboot) of the TFTP server, and that theTFTP server is running.Configuring the DHCP ServerA variety of DHCP servers are available. Their configurations follow the same generalprinciples, but vary in implementation, terminology, and user interfaces. DHCP con-figuration should be performed by personnel knowledgeable about both DHCP in gen-eral and the particular DHCP server to be used. Whichever DHCP server is employed,it should be configured to include the parameters identified in Table 7-A.CAUTION: Take special care to ensure that the BSU and subscriber configu-ration file names entered in the DHCP configuration are exactlythe same as the files created using the WaveCenter ConfigurationManager and stored on the TFTP server. A newly-installed unitwill not be able to operate properly if it cannot locate and down-load its configuration file.Table 7-A DHCP Configuration RequirementsServers Required: TFTPRecommended: SNTP, DNSOptional: SNMP, SMTP, POP3Subnets (Scopes) Subnets / Subnet MasksRouters / GatewaysEach Base Station Unit Hardware Ethernet / MAC addressFixed IP address for backhaul interfaceconfiguration file nameEach Subscriber Indoor Unit Hardware Ethernet / MAC addressFixed IP address for wireless interfaceconfiguration file nameSubscriber Hosts IP addresses if the subscriber Indoor Unit functions as a bridgeDNS server if the subscriber Indoor Unit functions as a NAT router$
