Tsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 101OverviewThis chapter provides a description of the Tsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models), its functionalities, andfeatures. It covers the following topics:•Introduction•Wireless Network Topology (Point-to-Point Link)•Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO)•Management and Monitoring Capabilities

OverviewTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 11 1.1 IntroductionThe Tsunami QuickBridge 8100 is a wireless point-to-point device designed to provide wireless networking solutions forenterprises and small business markets. Two pre-configured bridges enable users to easily, quickly, and economically install awireless extension between two locations, eliminating the need for costly leased line or cable alternatives.The product’s primary components are a wireless device and a Power-over-Ethernet injector. The wireless device, which isencased in an outdoor rated weatherproof container, has an integrated antenna or external antenna connectors and can bemounted to the side of a building, on a pole, or on a tower structure.Power and Ethernet connections must be supplied through a UV-protected CAT5 cable (not supplied) attached to aPower-over-Ethernet (PoE) injector. The PoE injector should be located either in an outdoor rated weatherproof enclosurelocated near the device or inside a building. The device can then be connected to a switch or hub on your network or directlyto a PC.Some of the key features of the QuickBridge 8100 series include:•High power 2x2 MIMO radio•Highly optimized WORP (Wireless Outdoor Routing Protocol) for outdoor applications•Asymmetric bandwidth management•Management through a Web Interface, a Command Line Interface (CLI), or Simple Network Management Protocol(SNMP)•Software and configuration upgrade through HTTP/TFTP file transfer•Outdoor placement for significantly improved range and ease of installation•5 GHz 2x2 MIMO integrated antenna versions for flexible deployment•VLAN Support•QoS based on IEEE 802.16e

OverviewTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 12 1.2 Wireless Network Topology (Point-to-Point Link)It is easy to set up a wireless point-to-point link as depicted in the following figure. Each device is set up as either an End PointA or an End Point B.Figure 1-1 Wireless Network Topology (Point-to-Point-Link)With a point-to-point link, you can set up a connection between two locations as an alternative to:•Leased lines in building-to-building connections•Wired Ethernet backbones between wireless access points in difficult-to-wire environments. 1.3 Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO)Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) is a smart antenna technology that offers tremendous performance gains for wirelessdevices at relatively low cost. The underlying technology of the QB-8100 radios are based on a combination of MIMO andOFDM. High performance OFDM-MIMO radio combination enhances robustness using multiple transmitters and receivers,allowing the QB-8100 units to completely take advantage of this antenna technology. In real-world environments, signalsreflect from various objects to reach the receiving antenna, hence a signal follows different distances before being received.This phenomenon is called multipath propagation and causes interference and fading in non-MIMO radios. On the receiverside, having multiple receivers increases the amount of received power and also reduces multipath problems by combiningthe received signals for each frequency component separately. Hence, MIMO significantly improves the overall gain.

OverviewTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 14 1.4 Management and Monitoring CapabilitiesThe network administrators can use the following management and monitoring interfaces to configure and manage theTsunami QB-8100 unit:•Web Interface•Command Line Interface•SNMP Management1.4.1 Web InterfaceThe Web interface (HTTP) provides easy access to configuration settings and network statistics from any computer on thenetwork. You can access the Web interface over your network, over the Internet, or with an Ethernet cable connected directlyto your computer’s Ethernet port. See Logging in to the Web Interface for more information.1.4.2 Command Line InterfaceThe Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based configuration utility that supports a set of keyboard commands andparameters to configure and manage the QB-8100 devices. You can enter command statements composed of CLI commandsand their associated parameters. You can enter commands from the keyboard for real-time control or from scripts thatautomate configuration. See the Tsunami QB-8100 Reference Manual for more information about the Command LineInterface.1.4.3 SNMP ManagementIn addition to the Web interface and the CLI, you also can use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to manage andconfigure the QB-8100 devices. Note that this requires an SNMP manager program (sometimes called MIB browser) or aNetwork Manager program using SNMP. The devices support several Management Information Base (MIB) files that describethe parameters that can be viewed and configured using SNMP:1. PXM-SNMP.mib (Enterprise MIB)2. RFC-1213.mib (MIB-II)3. RFC-1215.mib (Trap MIB)4. RFC-2790.mib (HOST-RESOURCES-MIB)5. RFC-2571.mib (SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB)6. RFC-3412.mib (SNMP-MPD-MIB)7. RFC-3414.mib (SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB)The PXM MIB files are available on the Proxim Web site. You must compile one or more of these MIB files into your SNMPprogram’s database before you manage your device using SNMP. See the documentation that came with your SNMP managerfor instructions about how to compile MIBs.NOTE: When you update the software in the device, you must also update the MIBs to the same release. Because the parameters in the MIB may have changed, you will not otherwise have full control over the features in the new release.The enterprise MIB (PXM-SNMP.mib) defines the Read and Read/Write objects you can view or configure using SNMP. Theseobjects correspond to most of the settings and statistics that are available with other management interfaces. See theenterprise MIB for more information. The MIB can be opened with any text editor, such as Microsoft Word, Notepad, andWordPad. See SNMP Parameters in the Services: Configuring the Passwords section.

Connect another ethernet cable between the hub and the RJ45 “LAN” port on the PoE injector.NOTE: The unit auto-detects the cable type so straight or crossover ethernet cable can be used, provided the device at the termination end has auto detection capability.Step 8: Ground the UnitTo ensure proper grounding, use the ground point which is situated at the bottom corner of the unit and the grounding screw(M3 thread size) provided to attach a ground wire of at least 12 AWG stranded to the unit. It is important that the followingground guidelines are followed during installations:1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the QB 8100 unit as shown in the figure below and the other end to the closest earthing system point at the installation.2. Cut any extra ground wire length when finished connecting it to the single point earth ground. 3. Avoid sharp bends and never loop or coil up the ground wire, always connect it straight to ground.4. A good earth ground impedance is less than 1.0 ohm. 5. Measure ground impedance at the point where the protector ground wire is connected and not at the ground rod.6. Connect the protector ground wire and equipment ground (both power ground and telecomm ground) to a single common ground. 7. Make sure all connections are fastened securely and are tight. 8. Never install during a storm and always follow your local safety codes.Connect the grounding wire, which is supplied with the product package, to the grounding lug as shown below:

Installation and InitializationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 26 2.4 InitializationConnecting to the device requires either:•A direct connection with a serial RS-232 cable.•A direct connection with an Ethernet cable or a network connection.Connecting with the Ethernet cable allows you to use of the Web Interface and SNMP in addition to the CLI. Connecting witha serial connection allows you to configure and manage the device with the CLI. Using a serial connection, you can access the device through a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. (See“HyperTerminal Connection Properties” in the Tsunami QB-8100 Reference Manual.)For all other modes of connection, you will need the IP address of the device to use the Web Interface, SNMP, or the CLI.Because each network is different, an IP address suitable for your network must be assigned to the unit. You must have this IPaddress to configure and manage the device through its Web Interface, SNMP, or Telnet/CLI. The device can use either a staticor dynamic IP address. The device obtains its IP address automatically through DHCP (dynamic IP address); or else, you mustset the IP Address manually (static IP address). 2.4.1 ScanToolScanTool is a software utility that runs on Microsoft Windows machines and is included in the installation CD-ROM within thedevice package. Using ScanTool, the IP address assigned to the device can be obtained and, if required, can be changed to theIP address that is appropriate for the network. The tool automatically detects the devices installed in the network segment,regardless of IP address, and enables the configuration of each device’s IP settings.To access the HTTP interface and configure the device, the device must be assigned an IP address, which is valid on itsEthernet network. By default, the device is configured with the IP address 169.254.128.132. In case of QB, by default, theEnd Point A is configured as 169.254.128.132 and End Point B is configured as 169.254.128.131.Using ScanTool, you can •Launch the Web interface•Scan devices which can respond to the Scantool•Modify the assigned IP address•Switch between the network adapters, if there are multiple network adapters in the systemNOTE: The user may need to disable Windows Farewell for ScanTool to function or to detect the radio.2.4.2 Setting the IP Address with ScanToolTo initialize the scan tool1. Power up or reset the device.2. Run ScanTool on a computer connected to the same LAN subnet as the device, or a computer directly connected to the device with a cross-over Ethernet cable.3.

Tsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 333Basic ConfigurationThis chapter provides an overview of the basic configuration settings of Tsunami QB-8100 (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models).It covers the following topics:•Country and Related Settings•Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)•Transmit Power Control•Pairing the End Points or setting up a QB Link•Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)•Quality of Service (QoS)•Basic Configuration Information

Basic ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 34 3.1 Country and Related SettingsThe unit’s Advanced Configuration window provides a frequency domain field that automatically provides the allowedbandwidth and frequencies for the selected country.Units sold in the United States are pre-configured to scan and display only the outdoor frequencies permitted by the FCC. Noother country can be configured. Units sold outside of the United States support the selection of a country by the professionalinstaller using frequency domain. NOTE: Non-US installers should not add an antenna system until the Country is selected, the device is rebooted, andthe proper power level is configured. The Transmit Power Control (TPC) feature can be used to reduce the powerwhen required.The Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) feature is enabled automatically when you choose a country and band that require it.Refer to Frequency Domains and Channels for information on which bands need DFS. 3.2 Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)The Tsunami QB-8100 supports Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for FCC, IC, and ETSI regulatory domains per FCC Part 15Rules for U-NII devices, IC RSS-210, and ETSI EN 301-893 regulations, respectively. These rules and regulations require that thedevices operating in the 5 GHz band must use DFS to prevent interference with radar systems.DFS is required for three purposes:1. Radar avoidance both at startup and while operational. To meet these requirements, the End Point A scansavailable frequencies at startup. If a DFS-enabled channel is busy or occupied with radar, the system will blacklist thechannel for a period of 30 minutes in accordance with FCC, IC, and ETSI regulations. Once fully operational on afrequency, the End Point A actively monitors the occupied frequency. If interference is detected, the End Point Ablacklists the channel, logs a message and rescans to find a new frequency that is not busy and is free of radarinterference.Radar detection is performed by both End Point A and End Point B. When an End Point B is set to a country/band inwhich DFS is used, it passively scans all available channels upon startup looking for a End Point A that best matches itsconnection criteria (such as End Point A Node System Name, Network Name, and Shared Secret). The End Point Bconnects to the End Point A automatically on whatever frequency the End Point A has selected. Because of thisprocedure, it is best to set up the End Point A and have it fully operational before installing the End Point B, althoughthis is not required. If an End Point A rescans because of radar interference, the End Point B loses its wireless link. TheEnd Point B waits for 30 seconds and if it finds that it could not receive the End Point A in this amount of time, itrescans the available frequencies for an available End Point A.2. Guarantee the efficient use of available frequencies by all devices in a certain area. To meet this requirement,the End Point A scans each available frequency upon startup and selects a frequency based upon the least amount ofnoise and interference detected. This lets multiple devices operate in the same area with limited interference.3. Uniform Channel Spreading. To meet this requirement, the End Point A randomly selects operating channel fromthe available channels with least interference. If the channel is occupied by radar, the device blacklists that channeland scans other available channels for the one with least interference. This implements the Uniform ChannelSpreading requirement by automatically selecting the channel with least interference.NOTE: If the Preferred Channel is configured, the device begins by scanning that channel. This allows the installer tomanually select a channel with least interference from a channel plan.End Point ADynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is enabled automatically based on the selected frequency domain. The device selects achannel to operate as follows:

Basic ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 35If ACS is disabled, during initialization, the device selects the Preferred Channel to be the operational channel. If ACS isenabled, during initialization, the device scans all the channels in the configured frequency domain and selects the channelwith the best RSSI to be the operational channel.Once the operating channel is selected, the device scans the channel for radar presence for a duration of Channel Wait Time.If no radar is detected, the device starts operating in that channel. If radar is detected, the channel is blacklisted for 30minutes and a different channel is selected. To select the next operational channel, the device scans all non-blacklistedchannels and selects the channel with best RSSI. At any point of time, if Radar is detected on the current operating channel, the device blacklists that channel and scans allnon-blacklisted channels and selects the channel with best RSSI.NOTE: Scanning is performed only on the frequencies allowed in the regulatory domain of the frequency/bandselected when it is required for radar detection and avoidance.End Point BWhen not connected to the End Point A, the End Point B scans continuously for all the channels in the configured FrequencyDomain for the presence of End Point A. If suitable End Point A is found in a channel, the End Point B tries to connect to it. NOTE: Since the device may need to scan for radar on multiple channels, you must allow a sufficient amount of timefor the units to start up. This is considerably longer than when the device is not using DFS. This is expected behavior.The Startup time is within four minutes if no radar is detected, but up to one minute is added for every selected channel thatresults in radar interference.For detailed information on DFS, refer to Frequency Domains and Channels. 3.3 Transmit Power ControlTransmit Power Control is a manual configuration selection to reduce the unit’s output power. The maximum output powerlevel for the operating frequency can be found in the event log of the unit’s embedded software. By default, the device transmits at the maximum output power that the radio can sustain for data rate and frequencyselected. However, with Transmit Power Control (TPC), you can adjust the output power of the device to a lower level in orderto reduce interference to neighboring devices or to use a higher gain antenna without violating the maximum radiatedoutput power allowed for your country/band. Also, some countries that require DFS also require the transmit power to be setto a 6 dB lower value than the maximum allowed EIRP when link quality permits, as part of the DFS requirements.NOTES:•When the system is set to transmit at the maximum power, professional installers must ensure that the maximum EIRP limit is not exceeded. To achieve this, they may have to add attenuation between the device and the antenna when a high gain antenna is used.•You can see your unit’s current output power for the selected frequency in the event log. The event log shows the selected power for all data rates, so you must look up the relevant data rate to determine the actual power level.•This feature lets you only to decrease your the output power of the device; you cannot increase the output power of your device beyond the maximum the radio allows for your frequency and data rate. 3.4 Pairing the End Points or setting up a QB LinkIf a QB-8100 link product is purchased, the devices will come with a factory pre-configuration for forming a secure link out ofthe box. If you want to form a link manually, the following parameters have to be configured with the same values on bothEnd Points for forming a link.

Basic ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 36First configure one End Point as End Point A and the other End Point as End Point B. The list of parameters that must beconfigured for linking of End Point A and End Point B are:•Network Name•Network Secret•Encryption (when used)•Frequency Channel (when available)•Channel Bandwidth•Data RateSee the description of these parameters and how to configure them in Basic Configuration Information. 3.5 Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are logical groupings of network hosts. Defined by software settings, other VLANmembers or resources appear (to connected hosts) to be on the same physical segment, no matter where they are attachedon the logical LAN or WAN segment. They simplify allowing traffic to flow between hosts and their frequently- used orrestricted resources according to the VLAN configuration.QB-8100 End Points are fully VLAN-ready; however, by default, VLAN support is disabled. Before enabling VLAN support,certain network settings should be configured and network resources such as VLAN-aware switches should be available,based on the type of configuration.For details on how to configure VLAN parameters, refer to VLAN Configuration (Bridge Mode only). 3.6 Quality of Service (QoS)NOTE: Quality of Service is configured on the End Point A.The Quality of Service (QoS) feature is based on the 802.16 standard and defines the classes, service flows, and packetidentification rules for specific types of traffic. The main priority of QoS is to guarantee a reliable and adequate transmissionquality for all types of traffic under conditions of high congestion and bandwidth over-subscription.For a complete discussion on QoS, see Quality of Service (QoS) Configuration.There are already several pre-defined QoS classes, SFCs and PIRs available that you may choose from which cover the mostcommon types of traffic. If you want to configure something else, you start building the hierarchy of a QoS class by definingPIRs; you define the QoS class by associating those PIRs to relevant SFCs with priorities to each PIR within each SFC. Qos canbe applied on standard 802.3 ethernet frames as well as PPPoE encapsulated frames.

WORP offers services based on apolling algorithm, specially designed for wireless outdoor networks. WORP is designed to minimize the number of packetsbeing sent over the air by incorporating several mechanisms, like super-packeting and piggy-back acknowledgment in orderto achieve maximum throughput possible in the outdoor conditions. A WORP-based device provides two modes of operations for establishing a wireless link, End Point A and End Point B.

Advanced ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 48Parameter DescriptionMode Specifies the radio mode in which the device isconfigured.Network Name It is the name given to a network so that an EndPoint A and an End Point B can mutuallyauthenticate. End Point B can register to End Point Aonly if it has the same Network Name. The NetworkName can be 1 to 32 characters in length.WORP MTU WORP MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) is the largestsize of the data payload in wireless frame that maybe transmitted. The MTU size can range from 350 to3808 for High Throughput modes.The default and maximum value of the WORP MTUis 3808. Super Framing Super Framing refers to the mechanism that enablesmultiple Ethernet/802.3 frames to be packed in asingle WORP data frame. When the WORP MTU sizeis configured larger than the Ethernet frame size,then WORP constructs a super frame with size ofthe WORP MTU configured and pack multipleEthernet frames. It results in reducing the number offrames transmitted over wireless medium therebyconserving wireless medium and increasing theoverall throughput.Multi Frame Bursting To achieve higher throughput, WORP protocolallows each side (End Point A or End Point B) to sendmultiple data frames in sequence and treats it as asingle data frame. During Multi bursting sequence,the receiver will not be allowed to interrupt thesequence by sending any message. By default, thisfeature is Enabled.This parameter is configurable only on End Point Aand it turns this feature on (if enabled) or off (ifdisabled) for both End Point A and End Point B.When Multi Frame Bursting is enabled, the numberof frames transmitted for each polling cycle can beconfigured as part of Quality of Service (QoS)Configuration.

Advanced ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 54Satellite Density Satellite Density setting helps achieve maximum bandwidth in awireless network. It influences the receive sensitivity of the radiointerface and improves operation in environments with highnoise level.Reducing the sensitivity of the device enables unwanted “noise”to be filtered out (it disappears under the threshold). You can configure the Satellite Density to be Disable, Large,Medium, Small, Mini, or Micro. By default, Satellite Density isdisabled. The Medium, Small, Mini, and Micro settings areappropriate for high noise environments; whereas, Large isappropriate for a low noise environment. A long distance linkmay have difficulty maintaining a connection with a smalldensity setting because the wanted signal can disappear underthe threshold. Consider both noise level and distance betweenthe peers in a link when configuring this setting. The thresholdshould be chosen higher than the noise level, but sufficientlybelow the signal level. A safe value is 10dB below the presentsignal strength.If the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is not sufficient, you may needto set a lower data rate or use antennas with higher gain toincrease the margin between wanted and unwanted signals. In apoint-to-multipoint configuration, the End Point A should have adensity setting suitable for End Point B, especially the ones withthe lowest signal levels (longest links). Take care whenconfiguring a remote interface; check the available signal levelfirst, using Remote Link Test.See Sensitivity Threshold Values for more information onSensitivity threshold values corresponding to various SatelliteDensity values.NOTE: When the remote interface is accidentally set tosmall and communication is lost, it cannot bereconfigured remotely and a local action is requiredto bring the communication back. Therefore, the bestplace to experiment with the level is at the device thatcan be managed without going through the link. Ifthe link is lost, the setting can be adjusted to thecorrect level to bring the link back.Cell Size This parameter specifies the cell size for the TPC setting on thewireless medium. By default, the cell size is configured to Large.You can configure the cell size as Large, Medium or Small. TheTPC range is controlled by this parameter. Parameter Descriptions

Advanced ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 55TPC With Transmit Power Control (TPC), you can adjust the outputpower of the device to a lower level. This is performed to reduceinterference with the neighboring devices. It can be helpfulwhen higher gain antenna is used without violating themaximum radiated output power for a country or regulatorydomain. This value can be configured in 1 dB increments.NOTES:•This feature only lets you decrease the output power; it does not let you increase the output power beyond the maximum allowed defaults for the selected frequency and country.•The range of values depend on the Cell Size.Active TPC If the feature Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) isenabled automatically, this field appears for United States 5 GHzfrequency domain only.NOTE: This field is not displayed for United States 5.8GHz frequency domain.Antenna Gain The sensitivity of the radio card can be modified when detectingradar signals in accordance with ETSI, FCC, and IC DynamicFrequency Selection (DFS) requirements. As the radar detectionthreshold is fixed by ETSI, the FCC, and IC and a variety ofantennas with different gains may be attached to the device, youmust adjust this threshold to account for higher than expectedantenna gains. This can avoid false radar detection events whichcan result in frequent change in the Frequency channels.Configure the threshold for radar detection at the radio card tocompensate for increased external antenna gains. The AntennaGain value ranges from 0 to 40. The default value is 0.NOTE: Modifying any of the wireless parameters resultsin temporary loss of connectivity between the EndPoint A and End Point B.Wireless Inactivity Timer Resets the wireless interface if there is no change in the Tx andRx Packet Count in the specified interval of time.

Click OK.NOTE: When you modify MIMO parameters and click COMMIT, it may result in brief interruption of service.Parameter DescriptionFrequency Extension Configuration of this parameter is valid only if thechannel bandwidth is 40 MHz. If Upper ExtensionChannel is selected, the radio automatically uses thecurrent channel (20MHz) as well as next upperadjacent channel (20 MHz) for data transmission. IfLower extension channel is selected, the radioautomatically uses the current channel (20MHz) as wellas lower adjacent channel (20 MHz) for datatransmission. For example, if channel 36 is selected in 40 + mode,the radio uses 36 as well as next upper adjacentchannel 40 also for data transmission, similarly ifchannel 40 is used in 40- mode, the radio uses 40 aswell as the next lower adjacent channel 36 for datatransmission.

Advanced ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 58Modifying the Guard Interval, Data Streams, Tx Antenna Status and Rx Antenna Status will reset the Tx Rate to default.4.4.7 DFSDynamic Frequency Selection is a mechanism to allow unlicensed devices to share spectrum with existing radar systems.The operation of a system with DFS capability takes place in the following sequence:1. The master device that can initiate communication selects a channel and monitors that channel for potential radar signal for a minimum listening time (channel availability check time). No transmissions can occur during this period.2. If the radar is detected, then the system has to go and select another channel and repeat the channel availability check on the new channel (the original channel is added to a list of channels with radar).3. Once the channel has been scanned for radar and found clean, the device starts using that channel.4. While using the channel, the network’s master device continuously monitors for potential interference from a radar source (this is referred to as in-service monitoring). If the radar is detected, then the network’s master device stops transmitting in that channel. The channel is added to the list of channels with radar.5. The master device then selects a new channel (channel that is not on the radar list).6. A channel on the radar list can be purged once the Non Occupancy Period (NOP) has elapsed for that channel.NOTE: For Europe 5.8 GHz channel, once End Point A / End Point B finds a clean channel (after 60 sec radar scan), itdoes not need to perform any 60 seconds scan again for RADAR for next 24 hours. This is not applicable when deviceis rebooted or that particular channel got blacklisted earlier.4.4.7.1 DFS in End Point A ModeDynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is enabled automatically based on the selected frequency domain. The device selects achannel to operate as follows:Guard Interval Possible values for Guard interval are 800 nSec and400 nSec. 400 nSec is valid only for 40 MHz channelbandwidth.Data Streams MIMO radio uses multiple antennas for transmittingand receiving the data. These data streams specify thenumber of data streams over the air transmitted orreceived in parallel. •Data streams “1-Longer Range” uses a single flow of the signals on the antennas. •Data streams “2-Higher Throughput” uses double flow of the signals on the antennas in parallel.Tx Antenna Status This parameter allows the user to specify the antennato be used for data transmission. Selecting therespective antenna number checkbox specifies radio touse that specific antenna for data transmission.Rx Antennas Status This parameter allows the user to specify the antennato be used for data reception. Selecting the respectiveantenna number checkbox specifies radio to use thatspecific antenna for data reception.Parameter Description

Advanced ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 59If ACS is disabled, during initialization, the device selects the Preferred Channel to be the operational channel. If ACS isenabled, during initialization, the device scans all the channels in the configured frequency domain and selects the channelwith the best RSSI to be the operational channel.Once the operating channel is selected, the device scans the channel for radar presence for a duration of Channel Wait Time.If no radar is detected, the device starts operating in that channel. If radar is detected, the channel is blacklisted for 30minutes and a different channel is selected. To select the next operational channel, the device scans all non-blacklistedchannels and selects the channel with best RSSI. At any point of time, if Radar is detected on the current operating channel, the device blacklists that channel and scans allnon-blacklisted channels and selects the channel with best RSSI.NOTE: Scanning is performed only on the frequencies allowed in the regulatory domain of the frequency/bandselected when it is required for radar detection and avoidance.DFS Configuration in End Point A ModeTo co n figure DFS in End Point A mode, 1.

See the DFS Configuration table that lists the parameters and their descriptions.3. Click OK.Figure 4-9 DFS Configuration in End Point A Mode4.4.7.2 DFS in End Point B Mode1. When not connected to the End Point A, the End Point B scans continuously for all the channels in the configured Frequency Domain for the presence of End Point A. If suitable End Point A is found in a channel, the End Point B tries to connect to it. NOTE: Since the device may need to scan for radar on multiple channels, you must allow a sufficient amount of timefor the units to start up. This is considerably longer than when the device is not using DFS. This is expected behavior.The Startup time is within four minutes if no radar is detected, but up to one minute is added for every selected channel that results in radar interference.2. After selecting the best channel from its End Point A -scan list, the End Point B scans for the radar during Channel Wait Time in that channel. The default Channel Wait Time value is 60 seconds. It starts transmitting only when the channel is found clean during this scan time.

Advanced ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 603. During its operation, the End Point B scans for radar continuously and after detecting the radar, it sends a message to the End Point A indicating radar detection on that current channel and blacklists that channel for Non Occupancy Period (NOP). The default NOP is 30 minutes.4. End Point B restarts scanning for the End Point A as mentioned above in Step 1.5. End Point B never scans any blacklisted channels.6. End Point B de-blacklists the blacklisted channel only after Non Occupancy Period. For detailed information on DFS enabled countries, refer to Frequency Domains and Channels. End Point A’s behavior on receiving RADAR event message from End Point BAs soon as End Point A receives RADAR event message from End Point B, End Point A de-registers that End Point Bimmediately and blacklists that channel for NOP and triggers the channel switch in case of Point-To-Point link.In case of Point-To-MultiPoint also, End Point A shall de-register the End Point B, if it receives RADAR event message from EndPoint B.

End Point A or End Point B adjusts the transmission data rate to an optimal value to provide the best possible throughput according to the current communication conditions and link quality. End Point A or End Point B runs the DDRS Algorithm separately based on their local DDRS Status configuration. When DDRS Status is enabled on End Point A, End Point A monitors the remote SNR and number of retransmission for every registered End Point B and it can adjust different transmission rate for different End Point Bs based on their link condition. When DDRS Status is enabled on End Point B, End Point B monitors the remote SNR and number of retransmissions for End Point A and can adjust the transmission rate according to the link condition. Note that DDRS can be enabled or disabled both on End Point A and End Point B separately.Parameter DescriptionChannel Wait Time End Point B after selecting the best channel from itsEnd Point A-scan list, scans for the RADAR for a periodof 60 seconds in that particular channel.

You may define different classes of service on a End PointA that can then be assigned to the End Point B that is associated, or that may get associated, with that End Point A.You can create, edit, and delete classes of service that are specified by the following hierarchy of parameters:•Packet Identification Rule (PIR) – up to 64 rules, including 18 predefined rules•Service Flow class (SFC) – up to 32 SFCs, including 8 predefined SFCs; up to 8 PIRs may be associated per SFC•Priority for each rule within each SF class – 0 to 255, with 0 being lowest priority•QoS class – up to 8 QoS classes, including 5 predefined classes; up to 8 SFCs may be associated per QoS class4.6.1.1 Packet Identification Rule (PIR)A Packet Identification Rule is a combination of parameters that specifies what type of traffic is allowed or disallowed. You can create up to 64 different PIRs, including 18 predefined PIRs. Also, you can create, edit, and delete PIRs that contain none, one, or more of the following classification fields:•Rule Name•IP ToS (Layer 3 QoS identification)•802.1p tag (layer 2 QoS identification)•IP Protocol List containing up to 4 IP protocols•VLAN ID•PPPoE Encapsulation•Ether Type (Ethernet Protocol identification)•Up to 4 TCP/UDP Source port ranges•Up to 4 TCP/UDP Destination port ranges•Up to 4 pairs of Source IP address + Mask•Up to 4 pairs of Destination IP address + Mask•Up to 4 source MAC addresses + Mask•Up to 4 destination MAC addresses + MaskNOTE: IP Address, TCP/UDP Port, MAC Address need to be configured separately and associate those classification inPIR details if required.A good example is provided by the 18 predefined PIRs. Note that these rules help identify specific traffic types:1. All – No classification fields, all traffic matches2. L2 Multicasta. Ethernet Destination (dest = 0x010000000000, mask = 0x010000000000)3. L2 Broadcasta. Ethernet Destination (dest = 0xffffffffffff, mask = 0xffffffffffff)4. Cisco VoIP ULa.

For delay-sensitive traffic, the jitter must be equal to or less than the latency. A packet is buffered until an interval of time equal to the difference between Latency and Jitter (Latency – Jitter) has elapsed. The device will attempt to deliver the packet within a time window starting at (Latency – Jitter) until the maximum Latency time is reached. If the SFC’s scheduling type is real-time polling (RTPS), and the packet is not delivered by that time, it will be discarded. This can lead to loss of packets without reaching the maximum throughput of the wireless link. For example, when the packets arrive in bursts on the Ethernet interface and the wireless interface is momentarily maxed out, then the packets at the “end” of the burst may be timed out before they can be sent.Users can set up their own traffic characteristics (MIR, CIR, latency, jitter, etc.) per service flow class to meet their unique requirements. A good example is provided by the 8 predefined SFCs:1. UL-Unlimited BEa. Scheduling Type = Best Effortb. Service Flow Direction = Uplink c. Entry Status = Enabled.

Traffic Priority = 1Note that two different VoIP Service Flow classes for each direction of traffic have been defined (index numbers 4 to 7) whichfollow the ITU-T standard nomenclatures: G.711 refers to a type of audio companding and encoding that produces a 64 Kbpsbitstream, suitable for all types of audio signals. G.729 is appropriate for voice and VoIP applications, but cannot transportmusic or fax tones reliably. This type of companding and encoding produces a bitstream between 6.4 and 11.8 Kbps (typically8 Kbps) according to the quality of voice transport that is desired.4.6.1.3 QoS ClassA QoS class is defined by a set of parameters that includes the PIRs and SFCs that were previously configured. You can createup to eight different QoS classes, including five predefined QoS classes. Up to eight SF classes can be associated to each QoSclass, and up to eight PIRs can be associated to each SF class. For example, a QoS class called “G711 VoIP” may include thefollowing SFCs: “UL-G711 20 ms VoIP rtPS” and “DL-G711 20 ms VoIP rtPS”.In turn, the SFC named “UL-G711 20 ms VoIP rtPS” may include the following rules: “Cisco VoIP UL” and “Vonage VoIP UL”.You can create, edit, and delete QoS classes that contain the following parameters:•QoS class name•Service Flow (SF) class name list per QoS class (up to eight SF classes can be associated to each QoS class)•Packet Identification Rule (PIR) list per SF class (up to eight PIRs can be associated to each SF class)•Priority per rule which defines the order of execution of PIRs during packet identification process. The PIR priority is a number in the range 0-63, with priority 63 being executed first, and priority 0 being executed last. The PIR priority is defined within a QoS class and can be different for the same PIR in some other QoS class. If all PIRs within one QoS class have the same priority, the order of execution of PIR rules will be defined by the order of definition of SFCs, and by the order of definition of PIRs in each SFC, within that QoS class.A good example of this hierarchy is provided by the five predefined QoS classes:1. Unlimited Best Efforta. SF class: UL-Unlimited BE – PIR: All; PIR Priority: 0b. SF class: DL-Unlimited BE – PIR: All; PIR Priority: 02. L2 Broadcast Best Efforta. SF class: DL-L2 Broadcast BE – PIR: L2 Broadcast; PIR Priority: 03. G711 VoIPa. SF class: UL-G711 20 ms VoIP rtPS– PIR: Vonage VoIP UL; PIR Priority: 1– PIR: Cisco VoIP UL; PIR Priority: 1b.

Previously defined Class Name is listed in the Class Name drop-down menu. 4.6.3 QoS Configuration for a Management StationAs stated previously, the QoS feature enables prioritization of traffic and allocation of the available bandwidth based on that prioritization. The system is designed in such a way that higher priority traffic preempts lower priority traffic, keeping lower priority traffic on hold until higher priority traffic finishes. This mechanism ensures that the available bandwidth is always given first to the higher priority traffic; if all the bandwidth is not consumed, the remaining bandwidth is given to the lower priority traffic.

Advanced ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 94If QoS is not configured properly, the system can become difficult to access in heavily loaded networks. One of the side effects of this misconfiguration is ping time-out, which is usually interpreted as a disconnection of the pinged node. However, with the correct QoS configuration, every node in the network can be reached at any moment.The following configuration instructions explain how to configure the system so that configuration parameters can always be changed, and ping requests and responses get higher priority in order to show the actual connectivity of the pinged node.The configuration suggested here assumes that the whole network is managed from a single work station, called the management station. This station can be connected anywhere in the network, and can be recognized by either its IP address, or by its MAC Ethernet address if the network uses DHCP.In this configuration, any traffic coming from or going to the management station is treated as management traffic. Therefore, the management station should be used only for configuration of the Quick Bridge nodes in the network and to check connectivity of the nodes, but it should not be used for any throughput measurements.CAUTION: While this QoS configuration is used, the TCP or UDP throughput should not be measured from the management station.Step 1: Add Packet Identification RulesTo recognize management traffic, the system needs to recognize ARP requests/responses and any traffic coming from or going to the management station.A. Confirm the Attributes of the Existing ARP PIRThe default QoS configuration contains the PIR called “ARP,” which recognizes ARP requests/responses by the protocol number 0x0806 in the Ethernet Type field of the Ethernet packet. Confirm that the ARP PIR parameters are correct, as follows:1. Click ADVANCED CONFIGURATION > QoS > PIR list.2. Click the Details button corresponding to the ARP PIR.3. Confirm the following attributes:•Rule Name: ARP•Status: Enable•Enable Ether Type Rule: Yes (checkbox is selected)— Ether Type: DIX-Snap— Ether Value: 08:06(hex)B. Create New PIRs to Recognize Management TrafficTo recognize the traffic coming from or going to the management station, the system must contain two additional PIRs: one with either the destination IP address or the destination MAC address equal to the management station’s IP or MAC address, and another with either the source IP address or the source MAC address equal to the management station’s IP or MAC address. The following examples explain PIR rules based on the IP Address of the Management Station.1. Click ADVANCED CONFIGURATION > QoS > PIR list > IP Address Entries.2. Click Add. The screen for adding the Management Station's IP Address appears. Enter proper IP Address, Subnet mask as 255.255.255.255, Entry status as Enable and then click Add.

Advanced ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 96•Max Messages in Burst: 16•Entry Status: Enabled. Click Add. The UL-Management SF is added to the QoS SFC List.NOTE: The input and output bandwidth limits set on the End Point A or on the End Point B are used for limitingaggregate bandwidth used by End Point B. These limits override any limit imposed by MIR in the SFC. Therefore,these limits should be set to at least 1000 kbps (MIR values in UL-Management and DL-Management SFCs).Step 3: Configure QoS ClassesFinally, the DL-Management SFC and UL-Management SFCs created in Step 2 must be added to each QoS Class used by the Quick Bridge network.

Advanced ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 97 4.7 VLAN Configuration (Bridge Mode only)Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are logical groupings of network hosts. Defined by software settings, other VLANmembers or resources appear (to connected hosts) to be on the same physical segment, no matter where they are attachedon the logical LAN or WAN segment. They simplify traffic flow between clients and their frequently-used or restrictedresources.A device can communicate across a VLAN-capable switch that analyses VLAN tagged frames and directs traffic to theappropriate units. The purpose of this network is to provide an easy way of modifying logical groups in the dynamicenvironment. VLAN is supported only in Bridge mode.VLANs are used to conveniently, efficiently, and easily manage your network in the following ways:•Define groups•Reduce broadcast and multicast traffic to unnecessary destinations– Improve network performance and reduce latency•Increase security– Secure network restricts members to resources on their own VLANVLAN features can be managed via:•The End Point’s Web interface•The Command Line Interface (see “Command Line Interface” section in the Reference Manual)•SNMP (Log on to Proxim support site http://support.proxim.com for MIBs)NOTE: The VLAN parameters can be configured on selected Interface (Ethernet 1/Ethernet 2).4.7.1 Establishing a VLAN ConnectionFor enabling the VLAN support, certain network settings should be configured and certain network resources, such as VLANaware switches should be available, depending upon the type of configuration. VLAN support also provides the capability to specify a separate VLAN ID and priority for management frames (SNMP, ICMP,Telnet, DHCP, and TFTP). To configure VLAN,Click ADVANCED CONFIGURATION > VLAN.Figure 4-42 Configuring VLANVLAN parameters can be classified into two types: System-related VLAN parameters and Interface-related VLAN parameters.

Advanced ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 981. System-related parameters: These parameters are applicable to the whole device. The following parameters are the System-related VLAN parameters.a. VLAN Status: Selecting the VLAN Status checkbox enables the VLAN Status on the device. To update all VLAN related parameters, VLAN status should be enabled.NOTE: By default, the VLAN status is disabled.b. Management VLAN ID: This parameter is used to configure the Management VLAN ID. This option is available when Management VLAN ID is configured. The management stations must tag the management frames sent to the device with the management VLAN ID specified in the device. The device will tag all the management frames from the device with the specified management VLAN and priority.NOTES:•If the Management VLAN ID is -1, only untagged frames can access the device.•Before setting the Management VLAN ID from 1 to 4094, make sure that the management platform or host is a member of the same VLAN; or else, your access to the device will be lost.c. Management VLAN Priority: This parameter is used to set IEEE 802.1p priority for the frames. The priority value ranges from 0 to 7. By default, it is set to 0 (zero).2. Interface-related VLAN parameters: The device supports configuring VLAN modes for Ethernet interface. The wireless interface is always in Transparent Mode. 4.7.2 VLAN Modes4.7.2.1 Transparent ModeTransparent Mode is available for the Ethernet and Wireless interfaces for both End Point A and End Point B. It is equivalent toNO VLAN support and is the default mode. It is used to connect VLAN aware / unaware networks. An interface intransparent mode forwards both tagged and untagged frames. To configure the VLAN Transparent Mode 1. Click ADVANCED CONFIGURATION > VLAN > Ethernet. The VLAN Ethernet Configuration window appears as shown below.Figure 4-43 VLAN Operation in Transparent Mode

When this feature is configured,the device can block traffic between wired and wireless network based on MAC address.The filter limits the data traffic between two specific devices (or between groups of devices based on MAC addresses andmasks) through the unit’s wireless interface. For example, a server on the network, which should not allow wireless clients tocommunicate, can be set up with a static MAC filter to block traffic between these devices. The Static MAC Filter Tableperforms bi-directional filtering. Each MAC address or mask consists of 12 hexadecimal digits (0-9 and A-F) that correspond to a 48-bit identifier. Eachhexadecimal digit represents 4 bits (0 or 1).Taken together, a MAC address/mask pair specifies an address or a range of MAC addresses that the device looks for whenexamining packets. The device performs bitwise “AND” operation between the MAC address and the mask at the bit level. Amask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 corresponds to all MAC addresses, and a mask of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF applies only to the specifiedMAC address.For example, if the MAC address is 00:20:A6:12:54:C3 and the mask is FF:FF:FF:00:00:00, the device examines the sourceand destination addresses of each packet looking for any MAC address starting with 00:20:A6. If the mask is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF,the device looks only for the specific MAC address (in this case, 00:20:A6:12:54:C3).When creating a filter, the user can configure the Wired parameters only, the Wireless parameters only, or both sets ofparameters.•To prevent all traffic from a specific wired MAC address from being forwarded to the wireless network, configure onlythe Wired MAC address and Wired mask (leave the Wireless MAC and Wireless mask set to all zeros).•To prevent all traffic from a specific wireless MAC address from being forwarded to the wired network, configure onlythe Wireless MAC and Wireless mask (leave the Wired MAC address and Wired mask set to all zeros).

The MAC addresses for each unit are as follows:•Wired Server: 00:40:F4:1C:DB:6A•Wireless Client 1: 00:02:2D:51:94:E4•Wireless Client 2: 00:02:2D:51:32:12•Wireless Client 3: 00:20:A6:12:4E:38Prevent Two Specific Devices from CommunicatingConfigure the following settings to prevent the Wired Server and Wireless Client 1 from communicating:•Wired MAC Address: 00:40:F4:1C:DB:6A•Wired Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF•Wireless MAC Address: 00:02:2D:51:94:E4•Wireless Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FFResult: Traffic between the Wired Server and Wireless Client 1 is blocked. Wireless Clients 2 and 3 still can communicate withthe Wired Server.Prevent Multiple Wireless Devices From Communicating With a Single Wired DeviceConfigure the following settings to prevent Wireless Clients 1 and 2 from communicating with the Wired Server:•Wired MAC Address: 00:40:F4:1C:DB:6A•Wired Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF•Wireless MAC Address: 00:02:2D:51:94:E4•Wireless Mask: FF:FF:FF:00:00:00Result: When a logical “AND” is performed on the Wireless MAC Address and Wireless Mask, the result corresponds to anyMAC address beginning with the 00:20:2D prefix. Since Wireless Client 1 and Wireless Client 2 share the same prefix(00:02:2D), traffic between the Wired Server and Wireless Clients 1 and 2 is blocked. Wireless Client 3 can still communicatewith the Wired Server since it has a different prefix (00:20:A6).4.8.2.3 Prevent All Wireless Devices From Communicating With a Single Wired DeviceConfigure the following settings to prevent Wired Server from communicating with all three Wireless Clients:•Wired MAC Address: 00:40:F4:1C:DB:6A •Wired Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF •Wireless MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 •Wireless Mask: 00:00:00:00:00:00Result: The unit blocks all traffic between the Wired Server and all wireless clients.4.8.2.4 Prevent a Wireless Device from Communicating with the Wired NetworkConfigure the following settings to prevent Wireless Client 3 from communicating with any device on the Ethernet:•Wired MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00•Wired Mask: 00:00:00:00:00:00•Wireless MAC Address: 00:20:A6:12:4E:38

IGMP is used by IP hosts and adjacent multicast routers to establish multicast group memberships.Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping is the process of listening to IGMP network traffic. It is a feature that allows a layer 2 switch to “listen in” on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers by processing the layer 3 IGMP packets sent in a multicast network.4.10.0.1 Types of IGMP Snooping:There are two types of IGMP Snooping.Active IGMP Snooping:Active IGMP Snooping listens to IGMP traffic and filters IGMP packets to reduce load on the multicast router. Joins and leaves heading upstream to the router are filtered so that only the minimal quantity of information is sent.Passive IGMP Snooping:Passive IGMP Snooping simply listens to IGMP traffic and does not filter or interfere with IGMP.

All the hosts in the private network can have simultaneous access to the publicnetwork. The End Point B supports NAPT (Network Address Port Translation) where all private IP addresses are mapped to a singlepublic IP address and does not support Basic NAT (where private IP addresses are mapped to a pool of public IP addresses).Both dynamic mapping (allowing private hosts to access hosts in the public network) and static mapping (allowing publichosts to access hosts in the private network) are supported. 1. Static NAT: Static mapping is used to provide inbound access. The End Point B maps the public IP address and itstransport identifiers to the private IP address (local host address) in the local network. This is used to provide inboundaccess to a local server for hosts in the public network. Static port mapping allows only one server of a particular type.Up to 100 entries are supported in the static port bind table.Entry Status This parameter is used to configure the status of thestatic route. Only enabled routes are considered forrouting the packets.Parameter Description

Advanced ConfigurationTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 1232. Dynamic NAT: In dynamic mapping, the End Point B maps the private IP addresses and its transport identifiers totransport identifiers of a single Public IP address as they originate sessions to the public network. This is used only foroutbound access.NOTE: •When NAT is enabled, the network on the wireless side of the device is considered Public and the network on the Ethernet side are considered Private.• When NAT functionality is enabled, the DHCP Relay and RIP features are not supported.

Click Update to start the file transfer.A reboot is required for the new configuration to be restored into the device. 7.5 Text Based Configuration (TBC) File Management7.5.1 Text Based Configuration FileText Based Configuration (TBC) file is a simple text file that holds the template configurations of the device. The 8100 series of devices supports the TBC file in XML format which can be edited in any XML or text editors. You can generate the TBC file from the CLI Session and manually edit the configurations and then load the edited TBC file to the device so that the edited configurations are applied on to the device. It differs mainly with the binary configuration file in terms of manual edition of configurations. The generated TBC file is a template which has only the default and modified configurations on that live CLI session.Downloading/Uploading the TBC File:The TBC file can be downloaded to or uploaded from the device using all three interfaces (SNMP/WEB/CLI). Either TFTP or HTTP options can be used to download or upload the TBC file.NOTE: While downloading the TBC file, any file name is accepted and then the file is renamed to PXM-TBC.xml. If themandatory XML tags are missing, the file is not downloaded to the device.7.5.2 Generating TBC FileText Based Configuration file is generated only when generate command is given from the Command Line Interface (CLI).While generating the TBC File from CLI, there is an option to generate it with or without all Management & Security Passwords. The management passwords include CLI/WEB/SNMP passwords. The security passwords include Network-Secret/Encryption-Key(s)/RADIUS-Shared-Secret. If included, these passwords become a part of the generated TBC file and are in a readable form. If excluded, all these passwords are not a part of the generated TBC file.The commands used for the generation of TBC file are:T8000-00:00:01# generate tbc-with-pwdsT8000-00:00:01# generate tbc-without-pwdsThe generated TBC file contains •Default configurations with their default values.•Any user-added or edited configurations on current live CLI session.7.5.3 Retrieving TBC FileUsing the WEB interface, you can retrieve the generated TBC file from the device either through TFTP or HTTP protocol.7.5.3.1 Retrieving through HTTP For retrieving a Text based template configuration file via HTTP web interface, click MANAGEMENT > File Management > Retrieve From Device > HTTP.

The Update, Load and Update & Load tabs present in the MANAGEMENT > File Management > Upgrade Configuration page are used to load the TBC file using WEB. To load the TBC file, it should be generated or downloaded to the device. If the TBC file is not with correct XML syntax, the file will be discarded with DOM error and no configurations will be loaded. All duplicate values entered are considered as errors while loading and syslogs will be generated accordingly. Therefore, it is recommended to delete all unchanged parameters from the TBC file during its edition. Commit is required to retain the configurations across reboots after loading the TBC file.

ProceduresTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 183NOTE: Both Commit and Reboot are required to accept the modifications done in the TBC File. Only reboot is required to reject the modifications. Loading the TBC file is allowed only once in an active device session (i.e., if TBC file is loaded, reboot is required to apply all configurations or to load another TBC file). All configurations in the TBC file are loaded to the device irrespective of their default or modified or added configurations. Loading the TBC file takes approximately 10-20 seconds depending on the number of configurations added.NOTE: If you get any time-out errors while loading TBC file from SNMP interface, increase the time-out value to more than 30 secs in the MIB Browser. 7.6 Soft Reset to Factory DefaultThe unit can be reset to the factory default settings. Resetting to default settings leads to configuring the unit anew.To reset to factory default settings using the Web Interface1. Click Management > Reset for Factory.2. Click the Reset to Factory Default button.The device configuration parameter values are reset to their factory default values. If you do not have access to the unit, youcan use the procedure described in Hard Reset to Factory Default as an alternative. 7.7 Hard Reset to Factory DefaultIf you cannot access the unit or you have lost its password, you can reset the unit to the factory default settings. Resetting todefault settings leads to configuring the unit anew.To reset to factory default settings, press and hold the RELOAD button on the side of the unit’s power supply for 5 seconds.The current configuration is deleted from the unit and the unit reboots with factory defaults.CAUTION: If you hold the RELOAD button for longer than 10 seconds, you may go into Forced Reload mode, which erases the unit’s embedded software. 7.8 Forced ReloadWith Forced Reload, you can erase the embedded software. Use this procedure only as a last resort if the unit does not bootand the “Reset to Factory Defaults” procedure does not help. If you perform a Forced Reload, you must download a newfirmware with the Bootloader (see “Firmware Download with the Bootloader” below).CAUTION: The following procedure erases the embedded software of the unit. This software image must be reloaded through an Ethernet connection with a TFTP server. The image filename to be downloaded can be configured with ScanTool through the Ethernet interface to make the unit functional again.To do a forced reload1. Disconnect and reconnect power to the unit; the unit resets and the LEDs flash.2. Immediately press and hold the RELOAD button on the side of the unit’s power supply for about 20 seconds. The software image and configuration are deleted from the unit.3. Follow the Firmware Download with the Bootloader procedure to download an image file.NOTE: While performing the hard reset to Factory Defaults / Forced Reload operations on the QB-8100 unit, ensure that any external device powered through the PoE injector is disconnected to avoid unwanted reload of the external device.

TroubleshootingTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 188 8.1 PoE Injector8.1.1 The Unit Does Not Work1. Verify that you are using a standard UTP Category 5 cable.2. Try a different port on the same PoE injector hub (remember to move the input port accordingly) – if it works, there isprobably a faulty port or bad RJ-45 port connection.3. If possible, try to connect the unit to a different PoE injector hub.4. Try using a different Ethernet cable – if it works, there is probably a faulty connection over the long cable, or a badRJ-45 connection.5. Check power plug and hub.6. If the Ethernet link goes down, check the cable, cable type, switch, and hub.8.1.2 There Is No Data Link 1. Verify that the indicator for the port is “on.”2. Verify that the PoE injector hub is connected to the Ethernet network with a good connection.3. Verify that the Ethernet cable is Category 5 or better and is less than 100 meters (approximately 325 feet) in lengthfrom the Ethernet source to the QB-8100 unit.4. Try to connect a different device to the same port on the PoE injector hub – if it works and a link is established, thereis probably a faulty data link in the unit.5. Try to re-connect the cable to a different output port (remember to move the input port accordingly) – if it works,there is probably a faulty output or input port in the PoE injector hub or a bad RJ-45 connection.8.1.3 Overload Indications1. Verify that you are not using a cross-over cable between the PoE injector output port and the unit.2. Verify that there is no short over any of the twisted pair cables.3. Move the device into a different output port (remember to move the input port accordingly); if it works, there isprobably a faulty port or bad RJ-45 connection. 8.2 Connectivity Issues8.2.1 QB-8100 Does Not BootThe QB-8100 shows no activity (the power LED is off).1. Ensure that the power supply is properly working and correctly connected.2. Ensure that all cables are correctly connected.3. Check the power source.4. If you are using an Active Ethernet splitter, ensure that the voltage is correct.5. If you are using PoE injector, make sure you are using a Category 5, foiled, twisted pair cable to power the unit.8.2.2 Ethernet Link Does Not Work1. First check the Ethernet LED:•Solid Green: Ethernet is up.•Blinking Green: Ethernet is down.2. Verify pass-through versus cross-over cable.

TroubleshootingTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 1898.2.3 Serial Link Does Not Work1. Make sure you are using a standard, straight-through, 9-pin serial cable. 2. Double-check the physical network connections.3. Make sure your PC terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) is active and configured to the following values: – Com Port: (COM1, COM2, etc. depending on your computer); – Baud rate: 115200; Data bits: 8; Stop bits: 1; Flow Control: None; Parity: None;– Line Feeds with Carriage Returns (In HyperTerminal select: File > Properties > Settings > ASCII Setup > Send Line Ends with Line Feeds)8.2.4 Cannot Use the Web Interface1. Open a command prompt window and enter ping <ip address unit> (for example ping 10.0.0.1). If the unit does not respond, make sure that you have the correct IP address. If the unit responds, the Ethernet connection is working properly, continue with this procedure.2. Ensure that you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 (or later) or Firefox 3.0 (or later).3. Ensure that you are not using a proxy server for the connection with your Web browser.4. Ensure that you have not exceeded the maximum number of Web Interface or CLI sessions.5. Double-check the physical network connections. Use a well-known unit to ensure the network connection is properlyfunctioning.6. Perform network infrastructure troubleshooting (check switches, routers, and so on).NOTE: At any point of time, if your device is unable to connect to your network, power reset your device by unplugging and plugging PoE injector.

TroubleshootingTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 190 8.3 Communication Issues8.3.1 Two Units Are Unable to Communicate WirelesslyIf a wireless link cannot be established after testing the two units within close distance of each other, then there can be tworeasons why wireless connectivity is not possible while the QB-8100 endpoints are at their desired locations:There may be a problem in the RF path, for example, a bad connector attachment (this is the most common problem ininstallations) or a bad cable (water ingress).NOTE: The cables can be swapped with known good ones as a temporary solution to verify cable quality.Another reason may be related to an interference problem caused by a high signal level from another radio. This can bechecked by changing the frequency channel and then verifying whether another channel works better or by changing thepolarization as a way of avoiding the interfering signal. To know in advance how much interference is present in a givenenvironment, a Spectrum Analyzer can be attached to a (temporary) antenna for measuring the signal levels on all availablechannels.NOTE: The antennas are usually not the problem, unless mounted upside down causing the drain hole to quickly fill the radome with water.If a wireless link is not established after testing two units within close distance of each other, then the problem is eitherhardware or configuration related, such as a wrong Network name, Encryption key, Network Secret or End Point A StationName. To eliminate these issues from being a factor, resetting the both units to factory defaults is the recommended solution.If a wireless link is not possible after resetting the units and verifying that one unit is a End Point A with WORP End Point Ainterface configured and the other is an End Point B unit, then the problem is not configuration related and the onlyremaining reason is a possible hardware problem. Acquiring a third unit and then testing it amongst the existing units willhelp pinpoint the broken unit.8.3.2 Surge and Lightning preventive maintenanceIn case of any lightning or surge occurrence, check for the conditions specified below:•Check the RF signals by referring to RSSI statistics and if the signal strength has been lowered considerably, replace the surge arrestor.•Unscrew the N-Type connector at the top and visually inspect the surge arrestor for electrical burns. If any, replace the surge arrestor.

TroubleshootingTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 191 8.4 Setup and Configuration IssuesThe following issues relate to setup and configuration problems.8.4.1 Lost PasswordIf you have lost your password, you must reset the QB-8100 device to the default settings. See Hard Reset to Factory DefaultThe default password is public. If you record your password, keep it in a safe place.8.4.2 The QB-8100 Responds SlowlyIf the QB-8100 takes a long time to become available, it could mean that:•No DHCP server is available.•The IP address of the QB-8100 is already in use. Verify that the IP address is assigned only to the QB-8100. Do this by switching off the QB-8100 and then pinging the IP address. If there is a response to the ping, another device in the network is using the same IP address. If the QB-8100 uses a static IP address, switching to DHCP mode could remedy this problem. Also see Setting the IP Address with ScanTool.•There is too much network traffic.8.4.3 Device Has Incorrect IP Address1. Default IP Address Assignment mode is Dynamic. If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, the default IP Address is 169.254.128.132 for End Point A and 169.254.128.131 for End Point B. If you have more than one unit with default IP address connected to the network, you will not be able to communicate with them (due to an IP address conflict). In this case, assign each unit a unique static IP address via the serial cable or turn off all units but one and change the IP address using ScanTool one at a time.2. The unit only contacts a DHCP server during boot-up. If your network’s DHCP server is not available while the unit isbooting, the device will use the default IP address (169.254.128.132 for End Point A and 169.254.128.131 for EndPoint B). Reboot the unit once your DHCP server is on-line again or use the ScanTool to find the unit’s current IPaddress.3. To find the unit’s current IP address if using DHCP, open the IP Client Table in the DHCP Server and match the unit’s IPaddress to its MAC address (found on the product label). Alternatively, use ScanTool to identify the unit’s current IPaddress.4. Once you have the current IP address, use the HTTP or CLI Interface to change the unit’s IP settings, if necessary.5. If you use static IP Address assignments and cannot access the unit over Ethernet, follow the Initializing the IP Addressusing CLI procedure. Once the IP Address is set, you can use the Ethernet Interface to complete configuration. If thedevice contains the default or known IP and is not accessible, then you need to check the Management VLANconfiguration.6. Configure the device to “DHCP” mode and reboot. While bootup, if there is a DHCP Server on the network, the DHCPServer will assign an IP Address to the unit.8.4.4 HTTP Interface Does Not Work1. Make sure you are using a compatible browser: – Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 – Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and later.2. Make sure you have the proper IP address. Enter your unit’s IP Address in the browser address bar, similar to thisexample: http://192.168.1.100. When the Enter Network Password window appears, enter the User Name and enterthe HTTP password in the Password field. The default HTTP username is admin and password is public.3. Use the CLI over the serial port to check the IP Access Table, which may be restricting access to HTTP.

$TroubleshootingTsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 1928.4.5 Telnet CLI Does Not Work1. Make sure you have the proper IP Address. Enter your device IP address in the Telnet connection dialog, from a DOS prompt, type: C:\> telnet <Device IP Address>2. Use the CLI over the serial port to check the IP Access Table, which may be restricting access to Telnet and HTTP.8.4.6 TFTP Server Does Not WorkWith TFTP, you can transfer files to and from the QB-8100 device. Also see TFTP Server Setup. If a TFTP server is notproperly configured and running, you cannot upload and download files. The TFTP server:•Can be situated either local or remote•Must have a valid IP address•Must be set for send and receive without time-out•Must be running only during file upload and downloadIf the TFTP server does not upload or download files, it could mean:•The TFTP server is not running•The IP address of the TFTP server is invalid•The upload or download directory is not correctly set•The file name is not correct8.4.7 Setting IP Address using Serial PortUse the following procedure to set an IP address over the serial port using the CLI. The network administrator typicallyprovides the device IP address.8.4.7.1 Hardware and Software Requirements•Standard cross-over serial data (RS-232) cable (not included with shipment). •ASCII Terminal software, such as HyperTerminal.8.4.7.2 Attaching the Serial Port Cable1. Connect one end of the serial cable to the unit and the other end to a serial port on your computer.2. Power on the computer and unit, if necessary.8.4.7.3 Initializing the IP Address using CLIAfter installing the serial port, you may use the CLI to communicate with the device. CLI supports most generic terminalemulation programs, such as HyperTerminal (which is included with the Windows operating systems). In addition, many websites offer shareware or commercial terminal programs you can download. Once the IP address has been assigned, you canuse the HTTP interface or the CLI over Telnet to complete the configuration.Follow these steps to assign the QB-8100 unit an IP address:1. Open your terminal emulation program (like HyperTerminal) and set the following connection properties:•Com Port: <COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your computer>•Baud rate: 115200•Data Bits: 8•Stop bits: 1•Flow Control: None$
