InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide I. Getting Started This document is designed to help engineers/technicians in rapid configuring of InfiNet Wireless Routers. The document includes detailed instructions for first configuration steps and configuration scenarios for typical network topologies. 1. Scope of document This document consists of the following chapters: Getting started This chapter includes the information about this document purpose and structure.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide • RMA – Routed Multiple Access Protocol 3. Document marks All warnings are marked with a special warning sign. One should pay a great deal of attention to what is written in the Warning sections. All notes are marked with a special note sign. Notes usually contain useful comments or hints to the described section of the document. 4.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide II.Getting access to the router 1. PC/Laptop/LAN connection Cabling (lab) The sequence of actions to be performed in order to connect the router to the PC/Laptop is the following: 1. Unpack the equipment 2. If you do not have a service cable soldered, please do it using special connectors included into the package according to the soldering scheme located in the “Supplementary information” section. STP cable cat 5 or cat 5E should be used. 3.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide Accessing the router via Console If you cannot get access to the router using procedure described in “Accessing the router via Ethernet” section please follow the steps described in this section. 1. Using InfiNet Console Cable please connect the router’s console port (see Fig. 2) to the COM-port of your PC/Laptop In order to accomplish the steps described in this section your PC/Laptop must be equipped with a COM-port 2. Locate the power cord in the package 3.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide 8. Specify port parameters exactly as shown on Figure 6 Figure 6. Port parameters 9. If you connected everything properly, selected the right port and made its configuration right, after pressing enter on the white blank screen (after step 8) you should see WANFleX OS prompt as shown on Figure 7 Figure 7. WANFleX OS prompt 10. Your device has a factory configuration. That means that you can enter ANY non-zero length login and password.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide 11. In order for your Router to be accessible from your LAN/PC/Laptop via Ethernet, you should configure eth0 interface IP-address so the router would allocate in the desired LAN (or accessible from your PC/Laptop Ethernet adapter). Your can change this IP-address via “ifc eth0” command as shown on figure 9. After changing the IP-address, save the configuration using “co sa” command. In the example given the IP-address being assigned to eth0 interface is 9.1.8.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide Figure 10. Open Control Panel 2. Open “Network connections” icon. See Figure 11 Figure 11. “Network connections” 3. In “Network connections” folder right mouse button click on the LAN connection and click “Properties”. See Figure 12 Figure 12. LAN Connection properties 4. Choose “Internet protocol (TCP/IP)” and click “Properties”. See Figure 13. Figure 13. Internet Protocol Properties 5.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide Figure 14. Change IP-address 6. If you are in a LAN and you do not want to change your primary IP-address so you could keep LAN connectivity, you can assign an alias. In order to do that, press “Advanced…” button (Figure 14). In “Advanced TCP/IP Settings” click “Add” and put alias IP-address and mask (e.g. “10.10.10.2” and “255.255.255.0” correspondingly). See Figure 15. Click OK in all windows opened in the described procedure. Figure 15. Create alias 7.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide 2. Initial setup Once you have got the access to the router via Telnet, you can perform initial router setup. Run telnet application (Start->Run) using IP-address that was assigned on the eth0 interface of the router (for example, 9.1.8.1) First of all, let us list some useful commands that should be remembered.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide Figure 17. Interfaces information Note that radio interface name may differ from “rf4.0” depending on the model’s frequency range (2.4GHz or 5GHz) and number of radio modules in the device (one or two). Anyway, radio interface name always starts with “rf”. Information on the specific interface can be obtained using “ifc ” command. For example, “ifc rf4.0” will give you information on “rf4.0” interface. 3.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide III.Point-to-Point configuration In our point-to-point configuration example we will built a simple network as shown in Figure 19. Figure 19. Sample network (PtP connection) Here we will set up a connection between two PC/Laptops. All configuration samples and notes will use IP-addresses and names as specified in Figure 19. 1. Routers configuration 1. Choose one of the routers to be CPE and the other one to be BS. 2.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide • NAME – CPE’s mnemonic name. In our sample network this configuration string will look as follows: rma ab rf4.0 00028ae1dd13 ip=10.10.10.1 name=CPE VERY IMPORTANT! ETHERNET IP-ADDRESS AND IP-ADDRESS FOR RADIO INTERFACE MUST BE IN DIFFERENT NETWORKS This warning is very important. That means that if you have 10.10.10.1/24 address on the Ethernet interface you cannot have any of 10.10.10.0/24 addresses on your radio interface. 7. On BS: type “rma start”.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide 2. Learning BS/CPE connection status Once all configuration steps are correctly performed you should make sure that the connection is established. Actually, it makes no sense to connect antennas to the devices while lab testing but still you need to make them “hear” each other. In order to do that, locate their RF connector as close to each other as possible.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide When CPE registers at the BS it is automatically assigned an IP-address next to that from the BS side. In our case BS has 10.10.10.1 IP-address for RF interface with the CPE and CPE in its turn has 10.10.10.2 for the RF connection. See Figure 21: it says “10.10.10.1->2”. Figure 24 shows ping result from BS to CPE. Figure 24. Ping from BS to CPE 2. Pinging from CPE to BS via radio The idea stays the same.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide At this point, you can reach (e.g. ping) remote’s eth0 interface both from BS to CPE and from CPE to BS. For example, from Base Station you can ping CPE’s Ethernet interface (IP-address is 9.1.8.1). See Figure 27. Figure 27. Pinging remote’s Ethernet The next step is to make you Laptops/PC/LAN “see” each other. If you connect two PC/Laptops (with MS Windows installed) two options are available in this case: 1.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide 4. Link throughput test The most evident way to test link throughput is to install FTP server on either first or second computer. For example, we set it up on the CPE computer. During link throughput test using PC or Laptop with MS Windows please note the following: 1. Hard disk drive speed or Ethernet adaptor speed may become a bottleneck of the system at either side. 2.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide IV.Point-to-Multipoint configuration Generally, point-to-multipoint configuration is NO different from point-to-point configuration in terms of devices configuration. This flexibility is obtained due to common hardware/software platform used in InfiNet Wireless routers. Thus, before reading this section of the Guide one MUST read carefully Point-to-Point Configuration section in order to set up connection between the Base Station and one CPE.
InfiNet Wireless Router V. Quick start guide Performing outdoor testing Before carrying out outdoor testing make sure that the equipment is properly configured and tested in the lab. If you use outdoor equipment please prepare service cables to connect IDU and ODU and check them in the lab. Also the following accessories may be very useful while outdoor testing: 1. InfiNet Console cable to perform configuration of the rooftops/masts etc 2. Binoculars to locate the opposite side 3.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide Once the power is switched on, you can access the router via Telnet (all necessary configuration steps were already taken in the lab). It takes approximately 10-15 seconds for RMA to perform registration procedure.
InfiNet Wireless Router Quick start guide • Achievement of required signal levels (In and Out parameters). Appropriate signal levels are from 4(5) to 10(11). Keep in mind that the antenna alignment should be performed slowly and with pauses. After each alignment step it is required to wait for at least 3 seconds to see the alignment result in rma test table. 4. Interference can be a possible reason for the link quality degradation (number of repeats increases, CPE does not register at the BS etc).
