Initial MicroMAX local web management settings The following are the basic steps required through the BS via its WEB interface prior to configuring its properties through Netspan.

Ensure that your Web browser with which you want to access the Web-based Management is running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.00 or higher or Mozzila Firefox release 2.0 or higher.

� To connect to MicroMAX via the WEB interface

1. Connect to MicroMAX Base Station Radio (BSR) using WEB

Defaults:

IP address – 10.0.0.123 (255.0.0.0)

User name – admin

Password - admin

2. Go to “Addresses” and modify the IP address according to your network

3. Click Submit The following is displayed

4. Go to SNMP Communities and modify the parameters according to your network requirement (if required)

5. Click Submit

5 Initial MicroMAX local web management settings


The following screen is displayed

Setting up a unique BS- identifier :

6. Go to Advanced > Config >setMacDL and set a unique identifier as this BS-ID

Recommended ( not a must ) Value for BS ID = The BS Mac address

Click Call

Wait until the OK confirmation appears (under the Call button)

6


7. Navigate to Reset and perform Reboot and confirm

8. MicroMAX BSR will reboot with the new settings in approximately 60 seconds MicroMAX BSR is now ready to be connected and configured via Netspan

7 MicroMAX initial configuration via Netspan


MicroMAX initial configuration via Netspan The following are the steps for automatic discovery of MicroMAX via Netspan.

� To connect to MicroMAX BSR via Netspan

1. Login to Netspan

2. Navigate to “Server” > “Discovery Parameters” The following is displayed

Click Add

3. Define:

a. Name ( any name allowed)

b. Discovery type = BS

c. Write Community

Note: This should be same as was configured before on the BS

d. Read Only Community – define a Community then click Add (on right side of the field)

Note: This should be same as was configured before on the BS

e. Port – enter 161 then click Add (on right side of the field)

4. Click Add in the “Discovery Target IP Address Ranges “section – this will create a default range - set the appropriate values to include the IP assigned to your BSR

8


5. Click OK

6. Navigate to “Configuration Management ” and then “Base Station “ (in the left-hand column)

7. Select the BS that Netspan “discovered”

Do

8. Double-click on the MicroMAX BSR row then select the Sector tab As shown below:

9 MicroMAX initial configuration via Netspan


9. Double-click on the Sector row (of the specific MicroMAX BSR) then select the Commissioning tab

Note: The downlink and uplink default channel parameters displayed at this stage will change according to the product type

10. Click Edit and and set the desired Frequency setting and the Tx power values

Note: at this stage all other parameters can be left as t he default values

11. Click Apply

Creating Service Profiles Service profiles are a set of grouped rules that classify data traffic flowing over WiMaX links between subscribers and Base stations on both directions.

These profiles are grouped in the following hierarchy:

Packet classifiers � service classes� service products.

These completed service products are then assigned/ provisioned to the Subscriber stations in order to provide basic to advanced scheduling services and appropriate controlled traffic flow of data on the Uplink and Downlink directions of Links .

In addition to the service product – a basic/advanced custom configuration profile needs to be created and provisioned to the ss.

These are RF related parameters.

• To create SS custom configuration profiles ( requi red for later

provisioning stage )

12. Navigate to Service Profiles and then SS Custom Configuration (in the left-hand column)

11 Creating Service Profiles


13. Click Add and Edit a basic Subscriber Station Custom Configuration Profile to service your linked Subscribers (Name, dynamic Services, Modulation Settings)

Note: at this stage – leave the maximum subchannel width as full (default )

14. Click Apply

To create a Subscriber station VLAN Port Profile: ( required for later provisioning stage )

15. Navigate to Service Profiles� ss Vlan port - click on ADD

16. Type a name and description - Choose port mode as RAW

12


To create packet classifiers

1. Navigate back to Service Profiles and then Packet Classifier (in the left-hand column)

2. Click Add

3. Set Name and Priority

Note: the priority ranges are between 0-255 – as this is the first rule validated for arriving packets – the priority set here primar ily affects

4. Leaving all parameters at their default values will create a wide open "filter" allowing ALL types of layer 2 and layer 3 traffic to flow. As shown below:

To create service classes

5. Navigate to Service Profiles and then Service Class (in the left-hand column)

6. Click Add



The attached screen demonstrates a service class a dapted to the following

Desired parameters:

• Scheduling type = best effort

• Traffic priority = 0

• MIR =20 Mbps

Note: for the Request /transmission policy – only the fol lowing parameters shall be chosen: 1. broadcast BW req on 2. Fragmentation on 3. CRC on

14


7. Click OK

To create service products

Service products are applied to Downlink as well as for Uplink directions – hence

The creation of the service product will be done and applied for both link directions as

Indicated bellow.

8. Navigate to Service Profiles and then Service Product (in the left-hand column)

9. Click Add

10. Set Name (mandatory) and optionally a description of the service product.( in the example bellow – the direction "uplink"/ "downlink" was used as the description.

11. Click Add

12. Select Direction Downlink from dialog (dropdown list)

13. Select Service Class – from the drop down list – choose the service class previously created.

14. In the Service Flow Template Classifiers window - choose from the drop down classifier list the previously created packet classifier.

15. Click OK



16. Navigate to Service Profiles and then Service Product (in the left-hand column)

17. Double click on the Service product now created

18. Click Add

19. Set Name (mandatory) and optionally a description of the service product.( in the example bellow – the direction "uplink"/ "downlink" was used as the description.

20. Select Direction UPLINK from dialog (dropdown list)

21. Select Service Class – from the drop down list – choose the SAME service class previously created and applied for the downlink direction.

22. In the Service Flow Template Classifiers window - choose from the drop down classifier list the previously created packet classifier.

23. Click OK

The following screen is displayed:

17 Provisioning the Service products to the subscriber stations


Provisioning the Service products to the subscriber stations Following the Subscriber station power up and connectivity to the Base station – the service products as created in the previous chapter needs to be provisioned to these SS's.

The following describes configuration and provisioning via BS settings on Netspan.

1. Start the SS and verify its operational state.

2. Navigate to Configuration Management and then to Base Station

3. Double-click on the BS you have previously configured and select the registered SS's tab As shown below:

4. Double-click on the specific SS

5. Click on the Provisioning tab

6. Click Edit

7. Select Service Product you have previously created from dialog (dropdown list) in the Service pane (section)

8. Select The custom Config Profile from dialog (dropdown list) in the Service pane (section)

9. at the Port Vlan Profile – choose the appropriated profile created in previous steps.

10. Set Services to Enabled (select Yes)

18


11. At the Home Sector parameter : make sure you choose the proper BSR Sector

12. Click OK

13. Click Close

Your subscriber station to MicroMax base station ba sic Link and Service flows are now ready for a basic traffic test

19 Basic traffic tests to validate the proper provisioned service product


Basic traffic tests to validate the proper provisioned service product

You may now choose any tool to upload different traffic types over the Downlink as well as the Uplink of your newly configured and provisioned Link

The very basic tests suggested bellow can serve as a basic indication to the correctness of your configuration steps:

• Connect any laptop/Pc to one of the SDA ports powering up the MicroMax BSR

• Connect any Laptop / PC to the Subscriber station: in case of EasySt : directly to its LAN Port IN case the subscriber is a ProSt : to or one of the SDA LAN ports powering the specific ProsT

• Properly/Logically Adjust the TCP/IP properties of both connected PC's

• Perform simple Echo ping sessions between both PC addresses.

• Verify proper Ping reply continuity.
