2.1 Access Point (AP) A PMP 320 Access Point (AP) is an 802.16e micro base station that connects wirelessly to up to 200 PMP 320 Subscriber Modules (SMs) or WiMAX CPEs. The AP consists of a connectorized antenna and radio, as shown in Figure 2, with the radio shown separately in Figure 3. The standard antenna is a dual‐ polarity 16.5 dBi antenna typically mounted in a four 90° sector configuration. The AP is manageable by local web interface, as well as SNMP or the Motorola One Point Wireless Manager.
Figure 2: Access Point (AP) Figure 3: AP, radio only The PMP 320 AP uses 802.16e for the over‐the‐air connection to the SMs or CPE and is 802.16e PHY and MAC compliant. It complies with WiMAX Wave2 profile, except for mobility. The AP uses a custom 56 VDC power system, typically powered by a CMM4. The AP uses less than 25 W per AP, or less than 100 watts for 360° coverage. The AP includes integrated surge suppression that is the equivalent of the 600SS surge suppressor recommended for SM installations.

2.3 INSTALLING THE AP General communications equipment, infrastructure, and facilities site design should be performed in line with Motorola’s “Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites” (also known as the R56 manual) available from http://www.motorola‐wls.com/Dynamic/Course_Description.asp?number=ANT001‐ CD&CourseKe y=125 These procedures are specific to the case of as AP purchased as a kit consisting of a connectorized antenna and a connectorized radio.
Procedure 1: Assembling an AP and attaching to tower 1. Perform a parts check to ensure all parts are present.
2. Connect antenna brackets to the antenna. Assemble with the “scissor bracket” pointing up (unlike in the accompanying pictures) to avoid physical interference between the bracket and the radio housing. 3. Connect the radio to the antenna by sliding it into the captive space. Secure the radio to the antenna using the two bolts provided. 4. Connect both coax N-connectors from the radio to the antenna.
5. Using standard work and safety practices for tower climbing, connect the assembled unit (assembled antenna, brackets, and radio) to a pole, mounting fixture, or the tower. Mount the unit so as to avoid accidental touching by personnel. Typically this means mounting the unit at least 4 m (13 ft) above ground level.

This user level is provider for the operator/service provider to access further parameters of the CPE for debugging/configuration purposes.
6 IP Configuration 6.1 IP Overview In the PMP320 system, there are three interfaces that need to have IP addresses intelligently assigned to them in order for the system to operate properly. The three interfaces are: 1) The APs wired (GMAC) and 2) wireless (WMAC) interfaces, and 3) the CPEs wireless (WLAN) interfaces. The two AP interfaces can either be statically assigned via the GUI or SNMP, or they can be set via an external DHCP server.
• • • Infinite lease time must be configured for the static reservations CPEs WAN interface IP must be assigned via DHCP All CPEs under an AP must have their WAN IP on the same subnet as the AP’s wireless interface. 6.3 Configuring AP IP Settings Log into the AP Gui via a web browser Go to General Æ IP Configuration The two entries for Wireless and Wired will be pre‐configured from the factory Select Wireless and then Wired and in each case choose DHCP client to “enable” mode.

9.3 Aradial server installation (Refer to Appendix A for initial steps) From the Aradial installation folder, click on the Aradial installation executable (Appendix A ‐ e.g. AradialSetup‐5‐1‐10.EXE). In the screen mentioning the license mode (by default Demo mode), choose "Registered mode". In the screen demanding to enter the name of the server, the administration username and password, enter the input of your choice. After setup is completed, restart of the computer is required.
From the Aradial installation folder, click on the ARDKEY.reg file, in order to register the license key in the Windows registry. Open the directory where Aradial is installed. By default it is "C:\Program Files\Aradial". In the Aradial installation folder open the Aradial_cfg folder. Copy from there in " C:\Program Files\Aradial", the DemoCerts folder (that contains the Free radius server certificates we used before Aradial was available), the eap_cfg.
Click on the NAS&Proxy tab. Click on the "Net. Access Server" add button. Fill the NAS Name field with the same NAS name configured in the PMP320AP (Access Point) in the configuration parameter. Set the IP address of the GMAC interface of the PMP320AP in the IP Address field. Fill the secret and Confirm secret fields with the configured secret in the PMP320AP by the configuration parameter. In the Model field, choose the DAN model in the list. Click the "ADD" button.
9.5 Add a GROUP Click on the Home tab. Click on the "Group" add button. Fill the Group Name field with a name in relation with the service level this group will provide.
Choose from the list, one of the service type defined by DAN in the NasCfgDbs file. For example: WimaxGold. In the IP Pools list, choose NAS, and click "ADD". The Password Source field should remain as the default, ie: Click the "Add" button in the bottom of the page.
9.6 Add a USER Click on the Home tab. Click on the "User" add button. Fill the User Id and Password fields with the username and password which CPE will use for authentication and authorization. Password Source should remain the same as the default to be , means that the password policy is defined in the Group definition.
In the Association fields, choose in the Group list, the group you want the user to be associated with. (Optional step) You could fill the Caller Id field with the GMAC MAC address of the AP, so this user will be authorized and provisioned only in the case it got connected via this specific NAS (PMP320AP).
Check the "Active" checkbox, and the "Add" button in the bottom of the page.
9.7 Verification of AAA configuration In the PMP320AP, be sure the authentication feature is enabled. With Wireshark, be sure the Radius negotiation between the Aradial server and the PMP320AP, is ending by a Radius Accept packet. Start the CPE and observe it's getting authenticated and enters the network successfully.
10 Quality of Service Configuration 10.1 Brief overview of the quality of service section PMP320 provides different quality of service (QOS) settings per the 802.16e specification e.g UGS, rtPS, nrtPS and BE. User can choose the appropriate QoS profile based on the application needs. It is recommended that each QoS profile is created with specific Maximum Information Rate (MIR) and Committed Information Rate (CIR) as dictated by the application needs. The PMP320 system can support several QoS profiles (e.g.
Upon creation of new profile, go on the Advanced tab And update the appropriate values for the “Max Sustained Rate” and “Data Delivery Type”. If the nrtPS is selected as the “Data Delivery Type”, provide “Unsolicited poll interval” e.g 150ms and “Min Reserved Rate” as needed. Polling interval value is not needed for DL flow. If the rtPS is selected as the “Data Delivery Type”, provide “Unsolicited poll interval” e.g 60ms, appropriate “Min Reserved Rate” and “Max Latency” value.
After network entry to get an IP address. AP will use the default parameters to create a service flows. By default, QoS profile “0” and “1” is configured for that, as shown in picture below. One can use the different QoS profile by changing these values to other QoS profile indexes. 10.3 Classification profile creation: Create (Add)/Update/Delete classification profiles using AP GUI, “Configuration” Æ “Classification Rules”.
To add or update, select or update the specific profile index under “Profile”, select the “Type” and provide “ToS” or “IP Address” and IP Mask Length”. Do not enter the rule ID until unless you want to create multiple rules for given profile, rules are not needed on the normal basis. 10.4 Service flow creation: AAA will be provide VSA information to create different service flow(s) for the CPE based on the username and password configured on the CPE for authentication.
Upon successful service flow creation CPE will show the flows associated its own.
