1.6 Cable Requirements

Fibre optics cable
Single mode 2 channel fibre with 2 fibre ODC plug is required for management and user
data. Length of the fibre optics cable using default single mode 1310nm SFP module is up to
10 kilometres. SAF Tehnika can provide pigtail cable with ODC-LC connectors and length of
3, 10 or 50 meters.
Figure 1.7: FODU Wi700 ODC-LC cable

DC power cable
FODU Wi700 power supply voltage must be between 36–57 V DC, though the nominal
input voltage is 48 V DC 10%. 2-wire outdoor cable with dedicated 2-pin LTW DC connector
assembly is needed to connect to FODU Wi700. Any polarity can be used. Preferable outer
diameter of power cable is 6mm in order to match FODU Wi700 FODU side connector.
Cross-sectional area shall be not less than 0.75 square mm for installations up to 400 meters
(25W load power). If this area is less than 0.75 square mm, the allowed maximum length of
the cable is reduced due to a higher voltage drop.

RS-232 Serial Connection
The ASCII console must be connected to the RS-232 serial port with Twin-BNC
connector. This requires a twisted pair (TP) cable with common shield (foil and plaited shield);
the cable must be suitable for Twin-BNC connector.
Using a proper cable, the operation is guaranteed for up to 10 m of cable.
12
RSSI BNC
To connect the digital multimeter to the FODU Wi700 RSSI port in order to adjust the
antenna alignment, a coaxial cable with BNC connector on one end and appropriate
termination on other end can be used (see example in Figure 1.4).
Figure 1.8. Cable for connecting the voltmeter to the FODU Wi700 RSSI port

1.8 FODU Wi700 with FO Gigabit Ethernet Port
1. Wi700 and customer equipment connectivity options via FO cables:
 by ordering ODC-2xLC outdoor patch cord of appropriate length (3, 10
or 50 meter patch cords can be ordered)
 by using outdoor box to connect ODC-2xLC to LC connectorized FO
cable to equipment at customer premises 13
 by welding ODC terminated FO cable to FO cable to equipment at

customer premises and appropriately sealing the weld
2. As Wi700 FODU DC-in port has a built in surge arrestor solution, SAF only
recommends to use surge arrestor at the DC source end of the cable
Figure 1.10. Optical FODU Wi700 site

1 – ODC-LC cable
2 – Surge arrestor on power cable
1.9 FODU Wi700 with RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet Port

Electrical Gigabit interface is vulnerable to overvoltage jumps, thus elevated surge protection
should be implemented – one surge arrestor should be placed at FODU, another before user
equipment.
Because of two surge arrestors used, maximum length of user Ethernet Cat.5e or better cable
(100 meters) will be reduced by approximately 20-30 meters.

2.3 Web Interface

This section will describe the points necessary for working with the Web interface.
2.3.1 ODC Port
ODC port is used to connect the FODU Wi700 to a PC or Ethernet network for Web,
SNMP and Telnet management.
(!) The length of single mode FO cable can be up to 10 kilometers.
16
2.3.2 Ethernet Management Connection Configuration
Before you proceed to initial link setup with Web GUI, you must perform Ethernet
connection configuration by following these steps:
1) In “MS Windows” operational system go to Start  Settings  Network

connections (or Start  Settings  Control panel  Network connections) 17
Figure 2.2.
2) Find ‘Local Area Connection’, click right mouse button on it and choose
‘Properties’
Figure 2.3.
3) Click on ‘Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)’ from the list in the dialog box and then click
on ‘Properties’
17
18
Figure 2.4.
4) In the dialog box enter the following values (so that your PC is in the same subnet
as default FODU Wi700 addresses):
Figure 2.5.
Now you are ready to connect to Web GUI or establish Telnet connection.
18
2.3.3 Connecting to Web Interface
It is recommended to use the following web-browsers (and all later versions):

 IE v. 6.0
 Mozilla Firefox v. 2.0.0.11
 Safari v. 3.0
 Opera v. 9.50 19
After web browsers selection, open it and enter address of the FODU (Figure 2.6).
(!) It is important to know the Side parameter of the FODU to which you want to connect;
whether the factory settings are loaded in FODU.
If Low Side -> IP: 192.168.205.10
If High Side -> IP: 192.168.205.11
Figure 2.6. FODU Wi700 IP address
(!) The default username and password for Web access are:
– username: admin
– password: changeme
If the IP address is correct, and your browser is recommended (with a suitable version),
you can see the text confirming that your browser is accepted. After that you will be redirected
to the “real” page. If the IP address is not valid, you will not get configuration interface, but if
your browser is not accepted (not recommended or there are problems with the version), you
will see the text informing that there are problems with the browser. You can push the button
“Continue Anyway” to be redirected to the “real” page.
At first “ConfigurationConfiguration wizard” should be run in order to perform basic link
configuration (by default Tx power is disabled and parameters of remote side will not be
seen).
If configuration was made correctly, you will see the main window of the WEB Interface. If
in the field displaying Local and/or Remote system values there are problems (configured
values are not the same for Local and Remote, or there is a problem with parameter value),
the appropriate cell will be highlighted in red colour.
(!) If the WEB page is not shown correctly, try purging browser cookies, cache and offline
data and restarting the browser.
(!) All the commands, which will be executed from the WEB GUI, will be translated to CLI
commands and will be executed as in CLI.
19
20
Figure 2.7. Web Interface - main window
(!) Note that FODU Wi700 24GHz utilizes both polarizations, and radios must be installed with 90
degrees offset regarding remote side. This, as well as position of cables can be verified in Main status
Tx polarization row.
2.3.4 Interface Description
WEB interface consists of four parts, they are:

1. Top panel, that allows to log out and gives information about device type, software
version, device name, IP, serial number and uptime;
2. Menu panel that is used to open links to other pages;
3. Status summary for local and remote devices: this section is available while browsing
other pages.
4. The main panel where the new pages selected from the menu panel are loaded for
display;
Also, special marks are used:

– Entries highlighted in red indicate that specific parameters do not comply with the
norms of normal operation. For example: value is out of range; local value is not
equal to the remote value and vice versa (only in some places); no value data (N/D).
– If the entry is highlighted in yellow, this means warning condition.
– If the value place reads ‘N/D’, this means ‘No Data’.
– If the value place reads ‘N/A’, this means ‘Not Available’.
20

Figure 2.8. Web Interface - main window with section numbering
2.3.5 Command Execution
There is a “IP configuration” page shown in Figure 2.9. The entire page is divided into
smaller fragments:
1. The header of page;
2. Sub-header of single type configuration parameters;
3. Execution controls related to a single type configuration parameters.
4. Write to config file button, which generates “cfg write” CLI command, which saves
changed configuration;
5. Configuration parameter name;
6. Configuration parameter current value;
7. Comments (not on every page).
“Execute for both” is available in “Main configuration” section, configuring simultaneously

the local and remote side radio, modem or ATPC parameters only. Connection between both
management CPUs must be established in order to complete successfully configuration
execution for both sides.
“Rollback on” feature is intended to maintain connectivity of the FODU link by cancelling
last erroneous configuration changes and reverting to previous successful configuration used.
Rollback will activate only if you lose connection to WEB interface of FODU Wi700 after
configuration changes applied, and reverting process will take approx. 3 minutes.
21
After parameter value editing, when the focus from this object is removed, this parameter
value edit box may be highlighted in red, meaning that entered value is not valid.
If “Execute configuration” or “Execute for both” buttons are pressed, and one or several
configuration values edit boxes is/are highlighted in red, the user will see error message with
the explanation text.

2.3.6 Initial Configuration with Web GUI
Your connected laptop should be in the same subnet with manageable FODU, so you
can “see” them. That is why, the laptop Ethernet port settings should be set as follows: (in
‘Microsoft Windows’ go to Control panel  Network Connections  Local Area Connection
 Properties  Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)  Properties):
– IP address 192.168.205.1;
– netmask 255.255.255.0;
– everything else is blank.
(!) FODU Wi700 must be powered up using dedicated power supply with load power at least
35W (at least 45W for high power version). See Chapter 2.2.4 for details.
22
23
Figure 2.10.
The next step is to connect to FODU Wi700 by entering IP in the browser address line –
which is by default 192.168.205.10 for the low side and 192.168.205.11 for the high side. In
case you are not sure which side you are managing at the moment, you can try both default
IP addresses.
Currently supported browsers you can use are ‘Internet Explorer’, ‘Mozilla Firefox’,
‘Opera’, and ‘Safari’.
Figure 2.11. Supported browsers: ‘Internet Explorer’, ‘Firefox’, ‘Safari’ and ‘Opera’
When you are connected to the FODU Wi700, you will see the window similar to the one
shown in Figure 2.7.
To start simple configuration process, you must proceed with the configuration wizard
which will set up the main parameters of the link to make it work. So, the first step is to go to
‘Configuration  Configuration wizard’ as shown below in the Figure 2.12.
23
24
Figure 2.12. Starting configuration wizard.
Initially, you can specify preferable system name, passwords for guest and admin accounts.
(!) Default password for “admin” account is changeme.

“guest” account is disabled by default!
The next time you will try to access the Web GUI management, you will be asked to enter
the user name (guest or admin) and user password.
(!) It is highly recommended to name the system after its geographical location.
By default, system name is ‘SAF’.
Figure 2.13. STEP 1. Defining system name and passwords for “guest” and “admin”
accounts.
24
After accepting and pressing ‘Next step >>’ button, you will be redirected to the second
configuration wizard screen, where you will be asked to define the network IP settings by
entering IP address, IP mask, default gateway and remote link side IP address.
25
Figure 2.14. STEP 2. Defining IP address, mask, default gateway and remote IP address
The third screen of the wizard is devoted to the modem and radio configuration and
requires specifying utilized bandwidth (20, 28, 30, 40, 50 or 56 MHz), modulation type (QPSK,
16APSK, 32APSK, 64QAM, 128QAM or 256QAM), Tx power (range depends on modulation
chosen) and Tx frequency (range depends on bandwidth chosen); besides, the modem and
radio data status is being shown.
These configuration parameters will determine overall link capacity.
Figure 2.15. STEP 3. Defining modem bandwidth, modulation, Tx power and frequency
For FODU Wi700 24GHz Tx power should not trespass equivalent isotropically radiated
power (EIRP) limitation of 20 dBm.
(!) In the table below please see interdependence between antenna used and allowed
FODU Wi700 24GHz Tx output power range (EIRP ≤ 20 dBm).
Antenna size/gain
30cm / 35.0dBi 60cm / 40.3dBi 120cm / 46.2dBi
Tx power -30…-15 dBm -30…-21 dBm -30…-27 dBm
The final screen allows checking the selected settings and applying them. The optional
settings are as follows:
– Clear cfg file before the new settings will take place – resetting or keeping all the
other parameters, not mentioned here, after configuration execution
– Set local machine time – uses the time of your laptop
– Write this configuration into cfg file – configuration is automatically written in
configuration file
25
26
Figure 2.17. STEP 5. Checking settings and executing configuration
To verify the settings, we can go to ‘Status’ or the main screen, which is the first option in
the navigation panel. If there are no ‘red fields’, everything is set correctly and the link is up.
2.4 Command Prompt Interface

The FODU equipment can be monitored and configured by using command interface
described in this chapter.
This process is performed by connecting to the Telnet terminal via the ODC port; the
Telnet management supports only one client.
The command line management interface offers the widest configuration and monitoring
functionality. The available commands for Telnet management are found in detailed
explanation of Web GUI windows, as well as in tables of additional commands.
(!) − To end Telnet session press Ctrl+D. Opening the session again, the prompt will appear
to enter username and password.
− For default (factory) usernames and passwords please refer to Chapter 6.1.
(!) Syntactic notes for command prompt commands

– Commands are in bold font.
– All arguments (variables) are in italic font.
– Subcommands and keywords are in regular font.
– Arguments in square brackets ([ ]) are optional but required arguments are in angle
brackets (<>).
– Alternative keywords are grouped in braces ( {} ) and separated by vertical bars
( | ).
– The usage of each command is displayed if the command followed by the “?” (or any
unrecognizable string) is entered, e.g., radio ?
The management system is automatically restarted if it freezes. This is performed by the
watchdog timer. Restarting of the management system does not affect (interrupt) the Ethernet
26
traffic.
2.4.1
2.4.2 RS-232 Serial Management Port
The RS-232 serial management port provides terminal management via a connected PC 27
or another terminal device or modem.
The terminal connected to the serial management port provides the same management
functionality as Telnet interfaces (refer to Chapter 2.3.2). In order to interconnect the FODU
Wi700 and the management terminal directly through serial ports, a “straight through” modem
cable is required.
Figure 2.18. Serial connection options to FODU Wi700

When using modems, the management terminal is connected with the FODU Wi700
remotely through a telephone line. In this case, the modem connected with the FODU Wi700
should be set to Auto Answer mode.
In order to connect the console to the Radio via RS-232 interface, the serial port of the
management console should be configured as 19200 8-N-1, no data flow control.
To connect the PC to the RS232 management port using Hyper Terminal program
(program is included in any Windows version), proceed as described below.
1. Connect the PC to the RS232 serial port by means of “straight through” or modem
serial cable (null-cable).
2. Run “Hyper Terminal” program.
3. Make a New connection and enter connection name.
27
28
Figure 2.19.
4. Choose port (COM1 or COM2).
Figure 2.20.
5. Set port settings (bits per second: 19200, data bits: 8, parity: none, stop bits: 1, data
flow control: none).
28
29
Figure 2.21.
6. Press OK
7. Press Enter. Password is disabled by default.
If successfully connected, the prompt should appear as in the picture below. See
Chapters 3-7 for available commands.
Figure 2.22.
2.4.3 Telnet connection
The Telnet connection to the FODU Wi700 is carried out using the Ethernet management
connection. Please refer to Chapter 2.2.2 for Ethernet management port connection details.
When you are ready to connect to Telnet interface, please follow these steps:
29
1) Go to Start  Run…
30
2) Type in “telnet <ip_addr>”, where <ip_addr> is IP address of the FODU

Wi700 you want to connect to (refer to FODU Wi700 label - explanation in
Chapter 1.8)
3) If the Ethernet management connection is configured properly, you will see a

window similar to the one shown below, where you will be asked to enter
login and password. Default login is identical to WEB login name – user
name is admin and password – changeme.
Figure 2.23.
30
After you have correctly entered the login and password, you are ready to work with all
the available command prompt commands.
2.4.4 Initial Configuration with Command Prompt

31
Configuration steps using command prompt are as follows:
1. Check the system settings with command ‘status’

Radial MSE is a method for estimating the signal to noise ratio. ACM engine uses
normalized MSE, which is the inverse of SNR. It is calculated by dividing the estimated MSE
level with the energy of the received constellation. Radial MSE peak value threshold is
dependent on modulation used and LDPC code rate.
If the Radial MSE value trespasses following thresholds, BER at the output of LDPC
-6
decoder will reach the value of 1.010 :
QPSK 16APSK 32APSK 64QAM 128QAM 256QAM

Strong FEC - 8.1 dB -13.6 dB -15.2 dB - 19.0 dB -21.9 dB -24.9 dB
Weak FEC -11.3 dB -16.5 dB -18.3 dB -21.7 dB -24.5 dB -27.3 dB
33
3.2 LDPC
The LDPC is monitored for the number of errors being corrected on the input of LDPC
decoder (see Figure 3.1).
34
Figure 3.2 LDPC decoder structure

-6
LDPC stress value thresholds @ BER 1.010 :
-2
- for Strong FEC mode ~ 4.010 ;
-3
- for Weak FEC mode ~ 1.010
As long as LDPC stress value is under the specified thresholds, the amount of errors
(and BER itself) on the output of LDPC remains at zero level.

4 Detailed Configuration in Web Graphic User Interface
Configuration section in Web interface allows customizing your system to suit your
specific needs.
4.1 Main Configuration

35
The main configuration window provides the configuration of most vital system
parameters, including the ones in configuration wizard as well as some other important
parameters. Below is a short explanation of provided customization fields.
4.1.1 Radio Configuration
1. Radio data status – shows if management CPU was able to read data from
radio;
2. Radio side – shows if radio side you are currently viewing is low or high
(command line – radio side);
3. Tx power – allows you to define transmitter power. If the RSL is too high
(much higher than normal -50dBm), you might want to lower transmitter
power. Too high Rx level (>20 dBm) may even result in synchronization loss.
The minimum and maximal values you can choose are dependent on
modulation type and FODU model. Maximal and minimal Tx power values
are shown in the brackets. (command line - radio txpower [<power dBm>]);
Antenna size/gain
1ft / 35.0dBi 2ft / 40.3dBi 4ft / 46.2dBi
4. Tx frequency (22014000 .. 22582000 KHz) – allows you to enter preferable

transmitter frequency, hence defining utilized channel (command line - radio
txfreq [<freq KHz>]);
5. Rx frequency – shows the current receiver utilized frequency (command line -
radio freq);
6. Duplex shift – shows the duplex shift between the transmitter frequency and
receiver frequency (command line - radio duplexshift);
7. Tx mute – allows turning transmitter power off. It may be effective when
diagnosing on interference existence – when transmitter power of one side is
off, you should not experience significant RSL on the other side (command
line - radio txmute [on|off]);
8. Pressing “Execute configuration” applies changes made to the corresponding
section only for the local side FODU Wi700. If “Rollback on” is selected,
35
configuration will be reverted in case of erroneous configuration changes
applied.
9. Pressing “Execute for both” applies changes made to the corresponding
section both for local and remote side FODU Wi700.
4.1.2 ATPC Configuration

36
To configure ATPC, it is necessary to set Rx (remote) “min” and “max” values and enable
the ATPC feature.
ATPC update period and ATPC delta are recommended to be left unchanged.
It is also possible to change the limit of Tx power correction.
(!) Note, that ATPC is mechanism for reducing Tx power, that’s why to make proper use of ATPC,
transmitter power (Tx power) must be set to the maximum value.
1. ATPC function – allows enabling or disabling ATPC (Automatic Transmit

Power Control). By default this feature is disabled (command line – atpc
[enable|disable]);
2. ATPC update period (1..5) – allows defining the period in seconds in which
ATPC parameters are being updated. By default the update period is 1
second (command line – atpc delay <power change delay time 1..5 sec>);
3. ATPC delta (1 .. 5 dB) – allows defining ATPC delta - an increment or
decrement in which Tx power is being changed. It is highly unadvisable to
change this parameter (command line – atpc delta <tx power correction step
1..5 dBm>);
4. Tx power correction – displays the amount of transmitter power in decibels
ATPC has currently corrected (command line – atpc status);
5. Tx power correction limit (-19..-1 dB) – allows defining the amount of dB
ATPC will be able to correct regarding initial Tx power value (command line –
atpc limit <tx power correction limit -19..-1 dB>);
6. Remote device status – shows if management CPU was able to read data
from remote management CPU;
7. Rx (remote) level maximum (-50..-20 dBm) – allows defining the maximum
Rx level. ATPC Tx power correction will be performed only in case of
exceeding this defined maximum Rx level (command line – atpc rxmax <rx
level max -50..-20 dBm>);
8. Rx (remote) level minimum (-90..-45 dBm) – allows defining the minimum Rx
level. ATPC Tx power correction will be performed only in case of exceeding
this defined maximum Rx level (command line – atpc rxmin <rx level min -
90..-45 dBm>);

4.1.3 ATPC Algorithm

37
ACM can be implemented together with automatic transmit power control (ATPC),
complimentary features that enhance overall system performance. ATPC reduces the
average transmitted power as well as CCI and adjacent-channel interference (ACI), which is
caused by extraneous power from a signal in an adjacent channel. It also enables a more
efficient and cost-effective network frequency plan and deployment, as well as eliminating
some of the receivers’ “upfade” problems by changing the transmitted power according to the
link momentary conditions. The lower average Tx power also extends the equipment’s mean
time between failures.
ATPC can be used together with ACM to control the transmitted power in any given ACM
profile. Different algorithms can be implemented to achieve maximal spectral efficiency or
minimal transmitted power using both features in combination. One implementation could
target maximal spectral efficacy by trying to reach the highest ACM profile, while the other is
willing to compromise on some of the spectral efficiency enabling CCI and ACI reduction. In
any chosen algorithm, ATPC reduces the average transmitted power, benefiting each ACM
profile and any link condition.
The local FODU Wi700 receives information (each second) about Rx level from the far-
end FODU Wi700 through the service channel; depending on the received Rx level
parameter, the local FODU Wi700 adjusts the transmitter power in accordance with the
algorithm shown below.
Figure 4.1. ATPC algorithm
37
4.1.4 Modem Configuration
38
1. Modem data status – shows if management CPU was able to read data from
modem;
2. Bandwidth – allows choosing between 20, 28, 30, 40, 50 and 56 MHz
bandwidths available. The default value is 20 MHz. This option is dependent
on what bandwidth you have purchased. The wider bandwidth you have, the
higher will be the overall link bitrate. The maximum bitrate of 366 Mbps is
possible when using 56 MHz bandwidth (command line – modem set
<bandwidth> <min_modulation> <max_modulation>
<strongFEC|weakFEC>);
3. Modulation – allows choosing between 256QAM, 128QAM, 64QAM,
32APSK, 16APSK and QPSK modulations. The default value is QPSK. The
higher modulation order is, the higher the overall link bitrate, but worse RSL
threshold. The maximum bitrate of 366 Mbps is possible when using
256QAM modulation (command line – modem set <bandwidth>
<min_modulation> <max_modulation> <strongFEC|weakFEC>). See below
the explanation for Adaptive Coding and Modulation and FEC modes;
applied.
section both for local and remote side FODU Wi700 link.
Adaptive code and modulation (ACM) technology allows operators to achieve high-
capacity data transmission over microwave links and improve the link utilization. This reduces
both operational and capital expenditures for maintaining high-capacity links. ACM can
maintain the highest link spectral efficiency possible at any given time in any link condition.
In traditional voice-dominated wireless backhaul transmission networks, service
availability levels of 99.995% are the norm.
However, newer services such as Internet browsing, video streaming and video
conferencing can operate at more relaxed availability levels. With use of QoS prioritizing ACM
can allocate the required availability based on the priority. As a result, high-priority services
such as voice enjoy 99.995% availability, while low-priority services like video streaming are
allocated lower priorities.
Use of QoS prioritizing defines which services should be transmitted under any link
condition and which services should be adapted whenever the link condition is degraded and
the link payload is decreased.
For example, when bad weather has decreased the channel capacity of a link, ACM
maintains high-priority services – such as voice data – with full bandwidth capacity while
adapting the bandwidth capacity of low- and mid-priority services such as Internet browsing
(see Figure 4.2).

Figure 4.2. ACM bandwidth capacity adaptation

Full modulation range: 256QAM, 128QAM, 64QAM, 32APSK, 16APSK, QPSK
Traffic can be mapped into different priorities, which define the level of service for each
application. Figure 4.3 illustrates how different services – such as rich voice and video – are
mapped into different classes of availability (CoA) such as 99.995% or 99.687%.
The implementation of multiple priorities increases the available capacity up to 10 times
that of standard links. When conditions are clear, the wireless link operates at maximum
capacity and provides all services with the full data rate. When link conditions are poor –
during harsh rain, for example – predefined high-availability services such as voice are not
affected. However, the capacity of low-priority services is adapted dynamically to the
changing link conditions. This is done by provisioning bandwidth according to the link
conditions and traffic priority.
An ACM profile defines the link parameters (modulation) for a given range of the Radial
MSE. The Radial MSE range of each profile defines the threshold for switching from one
ACM profile to another. Each ACM profile has a different spectral efficiency, derived from its
modulation.
The receiver continuously monitors the link condition based on Radial MSE value.
Once the estimators at the receiver side show that the link performance is not suitable for
the current ACM profile, an ACM switching process will be initiated. In case of degradation in
the link performance, the new ACM profile will include lower modulation, decreasing the link
bitrate. The ACM switching rate is measured in dB/s and is a key feature of ACM systems.
In general, the higher the switching rate, the better the system’s immunity to rapid Radial
MSE changes. When the switching is being executed, the payload rate is being modified to fit
the aggregated data rate to the new available link data rate.
Alternatively, ACM can also be used to increase the link distance, resulting in added link
spectral efficiency. The same concept is implemented as previously, with the margins that
were kept for 99.995-percent bandwidth availability now used to increase the link distance.
Whenever the link conditions are degraded, the system will switch to an ACM profile with
lower spectral efficiency to enable maintaining the link.
The following real-world example illustrates the benefits of ACM. Consider a FODU link
operating at 23 GHz with 56 MHz channel spacing and 45.9 dB (120 cm) antenna gain. The
link is operating in a moderate rain region similar to central Europe with a distance of 15
kilometers.
The system operation is set to a minimal payload of 69 Mbps Ethernet for 99.995%
availability.
39
Most of the time the system would support a 366Mbps Ethernet connection instead of a
69 Mbps connection. The system automatically monitored the link conditions and changed the
capacity without interrupting the data transmission (hitless changes), as shown in Figure 4.3.
40
Figure 4.3. Link availability and classes of services

In comparison similar system using 256QAM and providing similar capacity would provide
only 99,687% of availability. Besides, lack of ACM would not provide higher availability. You
would have to decrease the distance, decrease modulation or increase antenna sizes to
achieve 99,995% availability for the given link.
This example demonstrates how the new technology, based on an ACM mechanism, can
play a key role in the development of cost-effective next-generation wireless access
networks, by taking advantage of traffic evolution from synchronous TDM traffic to packet IP-
based traffic.
The FEC mode (Weak or Strong) allows increasing overall capacity of the link in terms of
deteriorating RSL sensitivity threshold.

4.1.6 Radio frequency loopback
In order to check performance of FODU Wi700 24GHz, radio frequency loopback should
be used:
a. In “ToolsCommand line” enter command “radio txpower -10” in order to set
transmit output power to -10 dBm;
b. In “ToolsCommand line” enter command “loopback rf <time_in_second>”,
where” <time_in_seconds> should be substituted by sufficient time of loopback
operation;
c. Observe Rx level during radio frequency loopback operation (“Status  Main
status”  Rx level” or “System summary”)
d. Using chart below Tx power shouldn’t be set (for ATPC) above Maximum Tx
power at appropriate Rx level observed:
For example, if radio frequency loopback indicated Rx level = -55dBm, Tx power

shouldn’t be set above 0dBm.

When VLANs are not used (Figure 4.7), user data and management data are not
separated either logically, or physically.
When using VLANs (Figure 4.8), it is necessary to use external switches (Switch 3 and
Switch 4). These switches add/remove VLAN tags per port basis. Thus, management data
and user data have different VLAN tags and are logically separated.

Figure 4.10. Configuration with management access from one side of the link
For both switches:

VLAN A is configured as:
- Trunk type VLAN with LAN1 & WAN membership;
- Access type VLAN with LAN2 & WAN membership with removing and inserting
VLAN tags while packet is being transmitted to LAN2 and WAN, respectively.
VLAN B is configured as:
- Management type VLAN with LAN1, WAN and Mng ports membership when
removing VLAN tags while packet is being sent to Mng port and inserting tag
while packet is transmitting to LAN&WAN ports.
Limitations and rules on using VLAN:

 Supports up to 4093 full range VLAN IDs.
 Only one VLAN with unique IDs is allowed. When adding a different VLAN with the
same IDs, the old VLAN is deleted (also the other types of VLANs).
 Simultaneous use of Access and Trunk type VLANs on one LAN port is not allowed.
 After the VLAN table initialization is completed, 802.1Q VLAN mode must be enabled
by using the command “Ethernet VLAN enable”.
 Note that Access VLAN Type cannot be configured together with Management VLAN.
In order to pass untagged packets through the link, “Ethernet vlan 0 traffic” should
be added.
Steps required for VLAN configuration:
1) Configure switches for VLAN tag encapsulation on both ends of the link;
2) Set preferable VLAN configuration in “VLAN configuration” of remote link side FODU
Wi700 Web management;
(!) Attention! VLAN tagging already must be configured on the switch and known to you;
otherwise, incorrect VLAN configuration may disable access to management port.
3) Set preferable VLAN configuration in “VLAN configuration” of local link side FODU Wi700
Web management.

4.6 QoS
4.6.1 General Configuration
QoS status provides control over main QoS parameters, accordingly allowing enabling or
disabling QoS 802.1p, DiffServ or port based priorities and change priority queuing mode.
54
55
1. QoS 802.1p – enables or disables 802.1p priorities for any available switch
port – LAN1/2/3/4, WAN or Mng (command line – ethernet QoS 802.1p
{[enable | disable <Port>] | [map]});
2. DiffServ – enables or disables DiffServ (DSCP) priorities for any available
switch port – LAN1/2/3/4, WAN or Mng (command line – ethernet QoS
DSCP [enable | disable <port>] | map);
3. Port based priority – allows passing packets from available ports directly to a
specific priority queue. By default port based priority queuing passes packets
from all ports to lowest (1) priority queue (command line – ethernet QoS
port <port> <priority>);
4. Queuing priority selection – allows to select primary QoS method, upon
which queueing decision shall be made;
5. Queuing type – allows choosing fixed priority queuing mode or weighted
queuing mode;
6. Weights (0<Q1<Q2<Q3<Q4<50) – allows specifying correlation of all four
queues. Queue values should correspond to limitations. Default correlation is
1:2:4:8.
applied;
Figure 4.13. Weighted priority queuing mode

55
56
Figure 4.14. Fixed priority queuing mode
In case of weighted priority queuing mode, highest (q3) priority buffer may pass up to 8
consecutive packets subsequently proceeding to lower priority buffer (q2), which may pass up
to 4 consecutive packets. This means that highest priority after passing 8 consecutive
packets will wait no longer than until 7 packets of lower priorities pass (4(q2)+2(q1)+1(q0)).
If any queues are empty, the highest non-empty queue gets one more weighting. For
example, if q2 is empty, q3:q2:q1:q0 becomes (8+1):0:2:1.
In case of fixed queuing mode, highest priority buffer (q3) will pass packets as long as its
buffer is full.
By default weighted priority queuing mode is enabled.
4.6.2 QoS 802.1p Configuration
QoS 802.1p provides configuration of QoS 802.1p priority mapping. You are able to map
8 different traffic 802.1p values (0 – 7) into 4 priority queues (1 – 4).
1. QoS 802.1p priority mapping – allows assigning queue values to specific 802.1p
values.
2. Pressing “Execute configuration” applies changes made to the corresponding section
only for the local side FODU Wi700. If “Rollback on” is selected, configuration will be
reverted in case of erroneous configuration changes applied;
3. Writes to configuration file all the changes made on the whole page (command line –
cfg write);
56
4. FODU returned - in case of error or incorrectly entered parameter value, or other
problems on the whole page – the info message is being shown here. Otherwise it
says “Ok”.
4.6.3 DSCP Configuration

57
QoS DSCP provides mapping of different traffic DSCP classes to priority queues.
1. DSCP mapping – allows assigning queues for different DSCP classes. You
may have up to 64 different traffic DSCP classes;
applied;
4.7 Spanning Tree Configuration

Implementation of 802.1D-1998 STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is compatible with Rapid STP
and Multiple STP, as well as having additional capability for automatic WAN port Path Cost

2. STP state – allows enabling or disabling STP support. In “Disabled” mode the
switch passes through BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) packets;
3. Address – the MAC address of the unit;
4. Priority (0..65535) – this parameter and MAC address determine whether a
given Bridge is Root Bridge. Advantage is given to the combination of Priority
and Address, which is numerically smaller;
5. Max Age (6..40) – this parameter determines time period, during which the
received BPDU packets’ information is stored for a separate port;
6. Hello Time (1..100) – time gap, between which the BPDU packets are being
sent;
7. Forward Delay (4..30) – time period that determines time a separate port
stays in Listening and Learning conditions;
8. Fast Mode – allows to enable or disable “Fast Mode”, in which STP operates
ten times faster but is not compatible with other standardized STP devices;
9. Port 1 LAN – STP parameters of LAN 1 port;
10. State – port condition. Can be one of the following: Disabled, Blocking,
Listening, Learning, Forwarding or Broken;
11. Priority (0..65535) – Port Priority. Combination of Priority, Port number and
Path Cost determines whether the port will be selected as Root port or will be
blocked on the occasion of loop, etc;
12. Path cost (1..200000000) – this parameter setting depends on the capacity of
a separate port;
58
16. Port 5 WAN – STP parameters of WAN port;
17. State – port condition. Can be one of the following: Disabled, Blocking,
Listening, Learning, Forwarding or Broken;
18. Priority (0..65535) – Port Priority. Combination of Priority, Port number and
Path Cost determines whether the port will be selected as Root port or will be 59
blocked on the occasion of loop, etc;
19. Path cost selection – path cost for WAN port can be set manually (default) or
calculated automatically with “byACM” option enabled, which operates
according to ACM swiching;
20. Path cost – this parameter setting depends on the capacity of a separate
port; setting is disabled when automatic “Path cost selection” is enabled;
21. Path cost mode - automatic Path Cost mode of WAN port. Can be Short or
Long;
22. Path cost offset - offset of the WAN port automatic Path Cost;
applied;
4.7.2 Spanning Tree Status
Spanning tree status shows current STP status at all available ports. Description of
parameters is in Chapter 4.7.1. Besides information about currently elected Root port is being
shown.

4.8 SNMP Configuration
The SNMP configuration window provides the configuration of SNMP communities, host
and trap addresses. SAF NMS system will work only when SNMP is properly configured.
4.8.1 SNMP community configuration 60
1. Read - Specifies the SNMP community name of the agent to enable

parameters to be read (not configured). The default read community name is
saf-public (command line – snmp community read <communityname>);
2. Write – Specifies the community name of the agent to enable parameters to
be written (configured). The default community name for writing parameters
is saf-private (command line – snmp community write <communityname>);
3. SNMP trap address – Sets the IP address of the management terminal with
the installed Trap Manager software, based on SNMP platform. The FODU
Wi700 management controller sends SNMP traps to the Trap Manager with
IP address specified here. The SNMP Trap Manager is a PC with installed
SNMP trap management software. The default Trap Manager IP address is
255.255.255.255 meaning that no trap packets are sent by the management
controller (command line – snmp trap <ipaddr>);
applied.
4.8.2 SNMP Allowed Hosts Configuration
1. SNMP host list – shows the list of available SNMP hosts; adds or deletes the
host IP address to the FODU SNMP host table. If the SNMP host connected
to the FODU is not added to the FODU SNMP host table, the FODU will not
respond to the SNMP requests from that host. If “Rollback on” is selected,
applied. (command line – snmp host {add | delete} <ipaddr>);

5 Performance and Alarm Management
5.1 Alarm Management
5.1.1 Alarms and Events Structure
All alarms and events are placed in indexed table. Low level raw alarms and events are 61
placed in the first table. Raw alarms and events are merged in groups, which are placed in
the second indexed group table. Raw alarm table and group table are related one to many, or
one to one if each alarm has a separate group (see Figure 5.1.). Group is in SET state if one
or more group members are in SET state. If there is no info about any group member alarm
or event state, then there is no info about group state too.

5.1.3 Alarm Status Window
‘Status  Alarm status’ in navigation bar shows you all the current alarms.
Date and time represents the time the alarm appeared, so you can easily evaluate for
how long the alarm has been active. ‘Alarm gr.’ is the number of alarm group in which the
specific alarm is grouped. Complete list of alarm individual IDs and group IDs can be seen in
the table above or using the command ‘alarm list’ in the command prompt.
To configure representation of alarms, refer to Chapter 5.2.5.
Figure 5.2. Alarm status window
5.1.4 Alarm Log
To view alarms history, go to ‘Performance  Alarm log’.

Alarm log shows 21 latest alarm entries per page and about 2000 latest alarm entries in
total.
Alarm entries are mostly distributed in two groups – ‘Set’ when alarm appears and ‘Reset’
when alarm disappears.
To view earlier log entries, please enter the number of log entry and press ‘Previous 21’
or ‘Next 21’ to view 21 entries before or after entered entry number.
Note that the alarm ID (for example, ‘032’ in the Figure 5.3.) here is an individual ID, not
a group ID.
You also have fast access to alarm filtering, where it is possible to choose which alarm ID
you are willing to search among all log entries. To configure detailed and permanent alarm
representation, refer to the next chapter.
63
64
Figure 5.3. Alarm log window
5.1.5 Alarm and Alarm Threshold Configuration
The alarm configuration screen allows you to configure alarm representation. You have a
choice to see specific alarm groups globally in alarm status (Global), in alarm log (Log) or in
NMS system (SNMP). By default all alarms are enabled.
64
65
Figure 5.4. Alarm configuration window
Alarm threshold configuration screen allows you to define specific threshold levels to
bound alarms to desirable values, so that you are able to adapt alarm system to your
individual needs.
Alarms in bold font represent group alarms and alarms in normal font – individual alarms.

5.1.6 Alarm Management Commands
To manage alarms in command prompt, the commands are as follows:
Alarm management commands
Command Description
Log show [<start line>] The management controller maintains event log, - events
include configuration changes, management controller
restarts, and local site alarm changes.
The “log show” or “log” commands display the latest 20 log
entries, the log entries are numbered, - entry with the largest
number is the latest event. The “log show” command can be
followed up with an entry number to display the latest 20
entries beginning from the entry specified by the number,
e.g., “log show 100” will display entries 100…120.
Log filter <alarm ID> [<num>] Filters event list by specific alarm ID. <start line> ; works
similarly to ‘log show’ command.
Log file <file name> Makes event log file with specified filename.
Alarm stat Lists alarm groups currently set.
Alarm list Displays the list of all alarms, their group IDs and alarm IDs.
Alarm groups Displays the list of all alarms and their group IDs.
Alarm management commands
66
Command Description
Alarm cfg <group ID> Allows defining detailed alarm representation settings.
[<global> <led> <aux> <log> [<global> <led> <aux> <log> <snmp>] must be defined in a
<snmp>] row of ‘1’s or ‘0’s of 5 values for specified group ID with
<group ID>. ‘1’ means the values are ‘on’ and ‘0’ – ‘off’.
Alarm threshold {stat} | Sets threshold values outside which alarm status will be
67
{<Alarm ID> lo|hi|delta <value>} shown.
5.2 Performance Management

The main aim of the performance management is to register mostly critical device
performance event values in predefined time intervals.
5.2.1 Performance Management Data Collection
The performance parameters are collected within time intervals of 1 min., 15 min. and 1
hour. List reserved space for every time interval is 1440 records (see Figure 5.6.).
Second-by-second the input performance event values are stored by updating previous
second values. The register is called current register. The current register contains the
performance values collected second-by-second from the reset instant to the present second.
At the end of period the contents of current registers are transferred to the history
registers (records), with a time-date stamp to identify the period, after which the current
register must be reset.
Some current register values are passed to the threshold crossing control unit for
triggering threshold crossing notification.
Optionally, the same values are output to the Message Communication Function (MCF)
to be forwarded to the managing system.
67
68
Figure 5.6. Functional architecture for data collection, history and thresholding treatment
5.2.2 Performance Values
5.2.3 Threshold Seconds (TS)
The TS is defined as one second period during which the detected value is outside of
predefined thresholds. The current value of the counter associated with a TS shall be
readable by the managing system on request. In case a threshold associated to a TS counter
is changed, the current value of the counter shall be reset to zero.
5.2.4 Tide Mark (TM)
The TM is a mechanism that records the maximum and the minimum value reached
during measurement period. The tide mark values are automatically reset to the current value
assumed at the beginning of each measurement period. The TM is therefore composed of
two values: the minimum and the maximum value. Comparison between the current value
and the minimum and maximum values is performed on a second basis.
5.2.5 Performance Management in Web GUI
The main performance management tool in the FODU Wi700 is the Web interface,
allowing user to review performance measurements in a very convenient and visualized way.
Going to ‘Performance  Performance log’ in navigation panel on the left side of the Web
GUI window will lead you to the log parameters’ selection screen, where you will be able to
choose between 6 different parameters to display in summarizing performance log or pick
‘ALL’ to display all 6 parameters in conjoint log which is shown in Figure 5.7.
68
69
Figure 5.7 Selecting performance log parameters
Figure 5.8 Performance log window
Time interval can be chosen between 1 min, 15 min or 1 hr. You can also define the start
time and the start date. When start values are defined, it is also possible to define the end
time and the end date.
TS (threshold seconds) show the amount of seconds in a chosen period (1min, 15min or
1h) when the parameter had been out of bounds set by performance thresholds in
‘Configuration  Performance log configuration’.
To define thresholds outside of which TS (threshold seconds) will be counted, you must
go to ‘Configuration  Performance log configuration’ and enter preferable threshold values.
Refer to sections 5.2.1. and 5.2.2. for further details on threshold seconds.

Figure 5.9 Performance log configuration window

The main advantage in terms of demonstration means is obtained from ‘Performance
graphs’, which are found in ‘Performance  Performance graph’ section.
You are able to choose between 5 parameters – Rx level; Tx level; System temperature;
Radial MSE and LDPC stress – and to view their graphs. It is possible to choose between 8
scales – from 12 last minutes to the maximum of 6 last days to be displayed in the graph. It is
also possible to choose time period to be displayed, defining date and time till which the
graph will be shown.

5.2.6 Constellation Diagram
A constellation diagram is a representation of a signal modulated by the digital

modulation schemes 256QAM, 128QAM, 64QAM, 32APSK, 16APSK or QPSK. It displays the
signal as a two-dimensional scatter diagram in the complex plane at symbol sampling
instants. Measured constellation diagram can be used to recognize the type of interference
and distortion in a signal.
For the purpose of analyzing the received signal quality, some types of corruption are
evident in the constellation diagram. For example:
1) Gaussian noise is displayed as fuzzy constellation points:
Figure 5.11. Gaussian noise (QPSK)
2) Non-coherent single frequency interference is displayed as circular constellation

points:
71
72
Figure 5.12. Non-coherent single frequency interference (QPSK)
3) Phase noise is displayed as rotationally spreading constellation points:
Figure 5.13. Phase noise (QPSK)
4) Amplitude compression causes the corner points to move towards the centre:
Figure 5.14. Amplitude compression (64QAM)
Examples of FODU constellation diagrams under excellent conditions are shown below:

5.2.7 Adaptive Equalizer
FODU Wi700 features adaptive equalizer, which is a filter that automatically adapts to
time-varying properties of a communication channel with selective fading, having a target to
compensate the inequalities in frequency response, mitigating the effects of multipath
propagation. In wireless telecommunications, using QAM modulation this filter equalizes not
only a separate quadrature channel, but provides a cancellation of cross-interference
between them.
In current FODU device an adaptive equalizer is realized as complex-arithmetic 24-taps
digital FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter. In other words, equalizer is a selective frequency
amplifier and attenuator, a device, which application to IF (Intermediate Frequency) band-
limited signal is schematically shown in the picture below:
Equalizer graph
Equalizer graph window shows adaptive equalizer taps’ coefficients, which at a set time
moment minimize multipath fading effect in channel.
Example of equalizer taps’ coefficients and its frequency response in case of a normal
operation is shown below:
73
74
During normal operation frequency response curve is smooth and the only equalizer tap
towers are in the centre of equalizer taps graph, otherwise frequency response curve will
appear jagged and many equalizer taps will become visible. The latter case most probably
will indicate to multipath issue, which must be inspected with use of precise and accurate
path profiling. An example of multipath caused equalization is shown on the picture below.
Taps mainly on the right side designate a weaker reflected signal in comparison with the main
signal.
74
5.2.8 Performance Management Commands
It is also possible to view performance log in command prompt.

The list of available commands is the following:

6 Miscellaneous Controls in Web Graphic User Interface
These controls are located in the Navigation Panel under the “Tools” item.
6.1 Configuration File

This section allows working with FODU configuration script. 79
The management module has RAM and EEPROM chips onboard. When FODU is booted
up, bootstrap is loaded from the EEPROM into RAM. The bootstrap contains the parameters
that were previously stored in EEPROM using write and/or cfg write commands. These
parameters are stored in EEPROM in the form of script and when booting up, the script
parameters are loaded into RAM. These parameters can be freely changed in run-time, -
changing the data in RAM. If the FODU is shut down without saving the current configuration
(script) in EEPROM, the original configuration will be restored from EEPROM on the next
boot-up.
Example of script can be observed on the screenshot below.
The script can be edited:
– string can be added by simply entering required string (see Nr. 7 on the screenshot
below) or by executing command in CLI or in the appropriate Web GUI section (the script
will be supplemented with the new string or the instant string entry will be updated);
– string can be deleted by entering appropriate line number (see Nr. 2 on the screenshot
below) or by using “cfg delete <string#>” in CLI.
The changes can be saved in EEPROM by pressing “Cfg write” button (see Nr. 3 on the
screenshot below) or by entering “cfg write” command in CLI.
(!) Note! The parameters that are not specified in the configuration script will have their
default values when the FODU is restarted.
1. Window shows contents of configuration script. Commands contained in this

configuration script are executed at every system start-up (command line –
cfg show);
79
2. Delete entry # – allows deleting a specific line of configuration script. You
must type the number represented in configuration script to proceed with
deleting and press 'Delete' button (command line – cfg delete <line>);
3. Save edited configuration file – to confirm the changes made, you must write
configuration script into EEPROM, otherwise changes will not be saved
4. Execute current configuration – executes commands present in configuration
80
script (command line – cfg run);
5. Input file name to backup cfg in FODU memory – allows choosing file name
under which current configuration script will be saved in the FODU flash
memory (command line – cfg backup <file>);
6. Input file name to restore cfg from FODU memory – allows loading
configuration script from previously saved backup file (command line – cfg
restore <file>). To view the contents of flash memory, go to 'Tools -->
Command line' and type in 'tfs ls';
7. Enter string, which you want to save in cfg – allows you to enter desirable
command, which will be added to the configuration script as the last line
(command line – cfg add <cmdline>);
8. Load factory configuration file – Resets the configuration by loading in
EEPROM the script with default settings. This command performs the
following actions (in the following order):
1. clears the current script from EEPROM,
2. creates and stores in EEPROM the new script with the
following settings:
- net ip addr 192.168.205.10 or 192.168.205.11 (as
marked on the label)
- net ip remaddr 192.168.205.11 or 192.168.205.10
- net ip mask 255.255.255.0
- net ip gw – 255.255.255.255 (default gateway - none)
- SNMP trap 255.255.255.255 (none)
3. restarts the management controller.
(command line – cfg factory);
9. To save cfg file on your computer click here – allows downloading
configuration script and saving it on your hard drive.
Additional commands for script editing in Telnet/serial interface
Command Description
Cfg load Loads the configuration script from EEPROM into RAM.
Cfg clear Clears the script stored in RAM.
Cfg insert <line> <cmdline> Inserts typed command line with specified line number into
configuration script stored in RAM.
Cfg cmd <file with commands> Restarts CPU of management controller and loads
configuration script from the specified file.
Cfg group Groups commands in configuration script.
80
6.2 License Management
License management allows specifying data transmit parameters and functionality for
specific time period or for unlimited time.
FODU without licensing option will operate with full functionality, but FODU with licensing 81
option but without activated licenses will operate with minimum functionality (14MHz channel
bandwidth, QPSK modulation, no ACM). Functionality may be expanded using appropriate
license key.
Explanation of fields:
1. License status – shows if management CPU was able to read license data;
2. Left time – shows the amount of time left for the active license;
3. Key – displays currently active license;
4. Time – shows the overall time for the active license;
5. 20000 KHz – shows the maximum modulation that can be used together with
20 MHz channel bandwidth;
11. ACM – shows if adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) is allowed for the
active license;
12. Available licenses – shows the list of entered licenses. To activate any
license, select it. “Add” button will transform into “Activate”, which should be
pressed;
13. License key – allows entering a license key. Entering a license key twice,
activates it;
81
14. System returned – in case of error or incorrectly entered parameter value, or
6.3 Command Line

In the command line you are able to execute all the commands to manage the FODU
Wi700 which are available through serial/telnet interface. This dialog box translates 82
commands to Telnet commands and sends them to the device. The initial screen shows you
the available commands. To view help on a command, type in “<command> ?”, where
<command> stands for the specific command.
Additional command prompt commands

Command Description
Cls Clears the screen.
Help <command> Provides help messages for commands.
6.4 File System

The software used by the FODU management controller is organised in files, which are
stored on Flash disk.
Firmware and boot configuration files

The following files are required for the FODU to start:
– ‘boot.ini’ file, - device boot configuration file. This file is a text file and contains the name
of the firmware file which must be executed on start-up. The file name can be freely
changed, but its default name is ‘boot.ini’ ; hereinafter, it is assumed that this file has
default filename. The most important factor concerning this file is that it must be uploaded
with ‘B’ and ‘e’ attribute flags (flags are case sensitive!), only then it will be treated as
executive script.
Attribute flags for ‘boot.ini’ file:

B – query run at boot; e – executive script
For information how to upload files in the Flash disk, please refer to Chapter 7.
– Firmware file, - this file is the main firmware executable for the appropriate FODU model.
The file name can be freely changed, but its default name will contain the version and
FODU model, e.g., ‘FODUl000.elf.ezip’. The most important factor concerning this file is
that it must be uploaded with ‘E’ and ‘c’ attribute flags, otherwise this file will not be used
as the firmware.
Attribute flags for firmware file:
E – executable binary; c - compressed
Notes:
– The files are uploaded from PC to Flash disk using TFTP/FTP (via Ethernet management
port), or using Xmodem protocol (via RS232 serial port), for more information about file
upload please refer to Chapter 7; configuration backup files are created by FODU
management system.
82
– The flash disk may store other files as well, for example - previous firmware versions,
configuration backup files, - up to 7.7 Mb (about 11 firmware files).
– The attribute flags for files are case sensitive.
– The file names can be changed, but it is very important that the file has the necessary
attribute flags; otherwise, the file will not be used either as firmware, or as ‘boot.ini’ type
file.
– There are no file extensions in the file system; either file, when edited, is treated as ASCII
text file. 83
– When uploading the file, if the Flash disk stores the file with the same filename as for the
file being uploaded, it will be overwritten with the new file.
Configuration backup files

Using ‘cfg backup <filename>’ command, the user can create the backup file of the
current FODU configuration. The configuration backup file is a text file and, when created,
contains the current configuration script, - the same configuration script that are stored in
EEPROM. Please refer to Chapter 7 for more information on configuration script.
The configuration backup files are stored on Flash disk, where they can be edited or
downloaded to PC. The backup configuration file can be applied in run-time, by consecutively
entering ‘cfg restore <filename>’ and ‘cfg run’ commands. Note: the configuration restored
from file is not stored in EEPROM and, therefore, will be lost when FODU is restarted. To
save it in EEPROM use ‘write’ command.
The user can create and store several configuration files to quickly revert to other FODU
site configurations.
Working with files

The following commands are intended to operate with files stored on the Flash disk on
the management controller.
tfs edit <file> Edits the specified file. This command is applied for editing
configuration backup files and boot configuration file (boot.ini). For
example,
edit boot.ini,Be
– file ‘boot.ini’ will be opened for editing. ‘Be’ specifies that this file will
be saved with attributes ‘B’ and ‘e’. If boot.ini file is intended to be
modified, it should always be opened specifying ‘B’ and ‘e’ flags as in
the example above, this will ensure that file is saved with these
attributes (flags).
To close the file and save changes press Ctrl+Z, to close the file
without saving changes press Ctrl+Q.
The configuration backup files do not require specific attributes.
tfs ls Displays the list of files stored on the Flash disk and the number of
bytes, both free and used by these files.
‘tfs dir’ can also be used.
tfs cat <filename> Displays the contents of the text file.
‘tfs type’ can also be used.
tfs del <filename> Deletes the specified file from Flash disk.
‘tfs rm’ can also be used.
83
6.5 Security Commands
General tips
Telnet server supports one user only, web server supports up to 32 users simultaneously.
By default the username and password for Web server, FTP server and Telnet terminal is:
– Username (login): admin 84
– Password: changeme
The username and password can be changed in Web GUI “System configuration  User
configuration”
‘access set <username> <password> [plaintext]’ command.
Take note of upper case and lower case type: it should be taken into account for the
password!
The passwords may contain spaces; if using space(s), the password should be entered in
quotation marks.
For Telnet, FTP and Web GUI the password can be changed by simply entering the
security command ‘access set <username> <password> [plaintext]’ while logged on and then
saving the configuration in EEPROM by using ‘write’ command.
To terminate Telnet session press Ctrl+D.
(!) “Guest” account is unable to change its access password.
(!) Specification of the password should always be followed by saving the configuration script
(using “cfg write” command); otherwise, the password request will be ignored after the restart
of FODU.
84
7 Updating Software
To simplify the software update process, SAF Tehnika provides special update package,
as a new version is available. This update pack is available as archive (e.g. zip), which
includes firmware file (with *.elf.ezip extension), boot configuration file (with *.ini extension)
and other files needed for update process. To receive update pack, please contact your SAF
Tehnika distributor. 85
The main method for software upgrade is Web GUI software upgrade, which automates
the whole software upgrade process. To perform software upgrade from Web GUI, please go
to “Configuration  System configuration” and in “Upgrade software” section press
“Browse…” button and locate software upgrade file (e.g. FODUl000.elf.ezip) on your hard
disc (see Chapter 4.2.4 for detailed explanation of Web GUI upgrade).
Besides there are other various ways how the user can update the FODU management
software by uploading the appropriate firmware file to the FODU Wi700 flash disk and further
editing boot configuration file if necessary. The file upload can be performed:
– via Ethernet management port using update package,
– via Ethernet management port using FTP,
– via Ethernet management port using TFTP, or
via RS232 serial port using Xmodem protocol.
Following chapters describe other methods how to update the software without using
update pack.
7.1 Update Software with Update Pack

To update FODU software by using the update pack, proceed as follows:
– uncompress the package;
– change the FODU IP address to 192.168.205.10, or edit ‘send.205.xx’ files by replacing
“192.168.205.10” with actual FODU IP address;
– arp –d ip_addr [if_addr] deletes the host specified by ip_addr. If another host with a
duplicate IP address exists on the network, the ARP cache may have had the MAC
address for the other computer placed in it. arp –d is used to delete an entry that
may be incorrect. By default no host is specified.
– rem ttftp.exe 192.168.205.10 put help.txt prefix ignores command execution
– ttftp.exe 192.168.205.10 put FODUl000.elf.ezip,Ec uploads firmware file named
‘FODUl000.elf.ezip’ with attribute flags ‘E’ and ‘c’ to host FODU with IP address
192.168.205.10.
85
– Start TFTP on both link sides in ‘Configuration  IP configuration’:
– run ‘send.205.xx.cmd’ to perform update, where „xx” represents last number of actual
FODU IP address. In case the memory is full, upload will halt and error message will be
86
displayed. In this case user must first delete some files to free enough memory on the
FODU Flash disk. Update process screen is shown below:
– To activate new firmware, firstly restart the management CPU of the remote link side
FODU Wi700 and then the local side FODU Wi700 (traffic flow won’t be interrupted) in
‘Configuration  System configuration’:
7.2 Uploading File via Ethernet Management Port (TFTP)

Assuming that the FODU IP settings are properly configured, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the FODU to network or directly to PC;
2. Make sure TFTP is running on FODU (by default, the TFTP is switched off); to run
the TFTP on FODU, connect to FODU with Telnet client and enter the following
command: ‘start tftp’;
3. Run the program that enables to use TFTP service, for example command interpreter
(cmd.exe) if using Windows, see Figure 7.1;
4. For example, to upload the firmware file ‘FODU000.elf.ezip’ with attribute flags ‘E’
and ‘c’, enter command:
tftp –i 192.168.205.11 put C:\files\FODUl000.elf.ezip FODUl001.elf.ezip,Ec
where:
86
‘-i’ – key which specifies that file must be transferred in binary image transfer mode;
‘192.168.205.11’ – FODU Ethernet management port IP address (host);
‘C:\files\FODUl000.elf.ezip’ – firmware file (source);
‘FODUl001.elf.ezip’ –file name in the FODU flash memory (destination);
‘Ec’ – file attribute flags ‘E’ and ‘c’; the attribute flags are separated from file name or
source with comma (only comma and no space) and there are no commas or spaces 87
between flags;
Figure 7.1.
5. If uploaded file is large (like firmware file), it is recommended to defragment Flash

disk. Use ‘tfs clean’ command from Telnet or ASCII terminal to perform
defragmentation.
6. If the uploaded file is the firmware file which should be used by FODU, it is necessary
to edit ‘boot.ini’ file by deleting the entry with the old file name and to write file name
of the new firmware file; the ‘boot.ini’ file must be saved with ‘B’ and ‘e’ flags (file
attributes). For more information how to edit files, please refer to the chapter Working
with files in Chapter 6.4.
(!) To copy file from FODU Flash disk to PC hard disk via TFTP, use the following command:
tftp -i 192.168.205.11 get filename destination_filename
where
‘192.168.205.11’ – FODU port IP address (host);
‘filename’ – file to be copied from FODU to PC; ‘destination_filename’ – destination path
where the file will be saved on PC hard disk.
7.3 Uploading File via Ethernet Management Port (FTP)

Before uploading file via FTP, make sure the FODU FTP server is running. To start it, go
to ‘Configuration  IP configuration’ in Web GUI and press ‘Start FTP’:
87
1. Open command window.
2. Start FTP client by entering “ftp” command (“ftp>” prompt will appear).
3. Connect to FODU FTP server using command “open <FODU_IP_address>”. Type in
username and password when prompted (by default username is admin and
password is changeme).
4. Enter the command “type binary” to make sure the binary transfer mode is selected.
88
5. Use command “send <local file> <remote file>, <flags>” to upload files to FODU
Flash disk. For example:
send c:\boot.ini boot.ini,Be
Use flags ‘E’ and ‘c’ if the file is a firmware file; if the file is a boot configuration file
(boot.ini), the flags must be ‘B’ and ‘e’ (‘Be’); the flags for configuration backup files may
not be specified.
Use command “ls” to list files on FODU flash disk.
Use command “delete <filename>” to delete the file from the FODU Flash disk.
6. Proceed with steps 5. and 6. in Chapter 7.1.
You can also use any preferable FTP client if you wish.
7.4 Uploading File via Serial Port (Xmodem)

File upload via serial port takes much longer time compared to using TFTP and should be
used only in case Ethernet connection with the FODU management system is not available,
or does not start normally.
1. Connect the ASCII console to the FODU serial port, make connection with the
following properties: Bits per second: 19200; Data bits: 8; Parity: none; Stop bits: 1;
Flow control: none; if using ‘Hyper Terminal’ program, please refer to Chapter 2.3.1
for information how to make a connection.
2. Type ‘restartcpu’ and, while FODU is booting, press any key when ‘boot.ini?’ prompt
appears. This will stop executing script in ‘boot.ini’ file and the FODU will remain in
MicroMonitor mode. This is the system start-up mode which loads the management
system firmware;
Note: while in MicroMonitor mode, the ‘uMON>’ prompt will be displayed, instead of
normal prompt with FODU name (default ‘SAF>’).
3. In MicroMonitor mode enter the following command:
xmodem –cd –F <file_path-no_flags> -f Ec
where
<file_path-no_flags> - file name with no flags specified
‘Ec’ – file flags, in case the file is firmware file - ‘E’ and ‘c’ flags must be used; if the
file is boot configuration file (boot.ini), the flags must be ‘Be’ (‘B’ and ‘e’); the flags for
configuration backup files may not be specified, in that case the command will be
xmodem –cd –F <file_path-no_flags>
After xmodem command execution, proceed to the next step.
4. Use terminal emulation software with file upload function, such as Hyper Terminal (in
Windows) to upload the firmware file to FODU as binary image (use binary transfer
mode), using Xmodem protocol.
If using Hyper Terminal, proceed as follows: from menu select ‘TransferSend
File…’, then select file and in ‘protocol’ box select Xmodem protocol and press ‘Send’
button. The following box should appear:
88
89
When upload is complete, the following information will be displayed (Figure 7.2.):
Figure 7.2.
5. Enter ‘reset’ command to exit from MicroMonitor mode and restart the FODU.
6. Proceed with steps 5. and 6. in Chapter 7.1.
89
8 RSSI Port
RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) port is used to adjust the alignment of antenna
for best performance (for both rough and fine adjustment); this can be done using digital
multimeter which is connected to the RSSI port. The output of the RSSI port is DC voltage
and varies depending on received signal level. 90
The following chart and table shows typical relationship of the received signal level (Rx
level) displayed by FODU vs. RSSI port output voltage (RSSI – Received Signal Strength
Indicator). The RSSI port is located on FODU. The evaluated Rx level has the error +/-2 dBm.
90
9 Pinouts
9.1 Twin BNC Connector
Twin BNC connector is used for RS-232 serial port. RS-232 – USB convector cable can
be used. Pinouts are shown in picture below.
