2 Introduction

This section provides a descriptive overview of the product and its place in the product suite.

2.1 General Overview

2.1.1 HiperMAX ATCA

A highly flexible and scalable WiMAX Base Station, the HiperMAX ATCA is capable of supporting Mobile WiMAX and Fixed WiMAX profiles across multiple frequency bands.

HiperMAX is a macro-cell base station with a split indoor / outdoor architecture designed to support multiple transceivers and smart antenna techniques. It is a base station solution optimised to deliver the best link budget with maximum capacity and net throughput.

Verify the readiness of the HiperMAX installation for commissioning by using the Pre-commissioning Checklist.

This is a representation for illustration only; actual layout may differ as infrastructure is installation-specific.

Figure 1 – HiperMAX Hardware Components

SCRTs need to have a separate power source from the ATCA. The ATCA does not supply power for either the SCRTs or the GPS.



3 Get Started

3.1 Workflow of Commissioning

The workflow required to commission the HiperMAX ATCA is shown in the following diagram:

Figure 2 – Workflow of Commissioning



3.2 HiperMAX Commissioning Checklist

Plan the commissioning of the HiperMAX installation by using the Commissioning Checklist, which you can find as a removable job aid in the Appendix for this guide.



4 Verify Prerequisites

Prior to commissioning the HiperMAX, verify the required hardware, power, software and configuration information.

4.1 Verify the Hardware

Verify the required hardware:

Laptop PC

Ethernet connecting cables x 2 (at least 3 meters in length)

Ethernet switch with VLAN tagging capability (For local test when Netspan connection is not available and VLAN tagging is used).

4.2 Verify Power

Verify the required power:

DC power is connected to the HiperMAX ATCA

If this is the first power-up then wait two minutes before performing other actions.

4.3 Verify the Software

Verify the required software:

Windows 2003 Server

SQL Server (2003 or later)

IE7 or Netscape7 (or higher)

PC browser (2003 or later)

PC web client management tool (2003 or later).

4.4 Verify the Configuration Information

Verify the required configuration information:

BS IP address

BS subnet mask

BS Gateway IP Address

BS ID



Shelf Name

Date and Time to set for shelf.



5 Configure HiperMAX ATCA

Configure a HiperMAX-ATCA base station using the built in web based interface. This prepares the equipment ready to be discovered by Netspan.

This procedure has the prerequisites that the shelf manager has been correctly inserted and seated, and the blue hot-swap LED should be off.

5.1 Set Initial Configuration on the Shelf Manager

Access the ATCA Shelf Manager in the following ways:

Chassis Data Module (CDM) serial connection (LAT-local access terminal) by the Shelf Alarm Panel (SAP) or a CDM if fitted.

Ethernet by a local IP address on the Shelf Manager

Ethernet network access.

LAT connection offers access to all Shelf Manager configuration tools except the web interface, and the Ethernet connection offers access to all Shelf Manager configuration tools except boot prompt environment variables.

For a new Shelf or if the IP address has been forgotten the IP address is set using a local access terminal (LAT) in the ARM Boot environment.

A serial interface can be used to provide a LAT connection. This allows manipulation of the shelf manager at all levels including the boot prompt, Linux command line and the shelf manager command line interface.

The LAT Serial PC to Shelf manager RJ45 connection is shown below:

Figure 3 – HiperMAX LAT Serial PC to Shelf manager RJ45 connection

The serial console default configuration is:

115200 baud rate

8 data bits

no parity



1 stop bit.

5.1.1 Check the IP Address for IP Access

The shelf manager IP address will probably have a default IP address of 192.168.0.2. This can be confirmed using a LAT cable to access the Linux command line of the shelf manager and executing the ifconfig command. If using local network access this default address may be used. To configure a shelf address, refer to the subtopic Configure the Shelf Address in this guide.

Further commands may be given using LAT through a local IP connection.

5.1.2 Connect to Shelf Manager on Local IP Connection

An Ethernet connection may be used to provide access to the Linux command line, shelf manager application command line interface and the shelf manager web interface. This Ethernet connection may be either local or across a network (assuming the IP address, netmask and gateway have been configured appropriately using the LAT connection). A local IP connection to the shelf manager will differ depending on whether the commissioning/maintenance laptop is a Windows or Linux platform.

If using Windows, configure the laptop IP address to 192.168.0.xxx and a network mask of 255.255.255.0 by the control panel network setting, and connect the laptop and shelf manager with an Ethernet cross-over cable. Then it should be possible to web browse from the shelf manager.

To use the web interface, enter http://192.168.0.2 on the command line of a browser.

If it is not possible to establish an Ethernet connection it may be that there is a physical configuration problem.

The shelf manager has a set of four jumpers that direct whether Ethernet traffic routes to the front panel or the back plane of the shelf manager. These jumpers should be set correctly as shown in the figure below. Use the Board Removal procedure for removing the card. For front panel communications, the jumpers should be connected on the pin pairs (1:2) nearest the face plate of the card.

Figure 4 – HiperMAX-ATCA Shelf Manager/ jumper pair (1:2) for front panel communications



Figure 5 – HiperMAX-ATCA Shelf Manager/ jumper pair (2:3) for back plane communications

5.1.3 Configure Single Shelf Manager

This procedure can be performed entirely from the LAT or partly from the LAT and partly with a local Ethernet connection.

This procedure has the prerequisites that the shelf manager has been correctly inserted and seated and the blue hot-swap LED should be off.

To configure a single shelf manager, perform the following steps:

1. Connect to the Shelf Manager. See Connect to Shelf Manager.

2. Configure the shelf address by LAT. See Configure the Shelf Address.

3. Configure the root user password by LAT. See Set Password by LAT.

4. Configure the date/time by the LAT. See Set Date / Time by LAT.

5. Configure the IP network definitions by LAT. See Set the IP Address for Network Access by LAT.

5.1.4 Configure Dual Redundant Shelf Manager

This procedure can be performed entirely from the LAT or partly from the LAT and partly with a local Ethernet connection.

This procedure has the prerequisites that the shelf manager has been correctly inserted and seated and the blue hot-swap LED should be off. In addition, the active shelf manager status LED should be on and green, the other should be blinking.

To configure a single shelf manager, perform the following steps:

1. Configure the primary (top) shelf manager as described in Configure Single Shelf Manager above.



2. Configure the secondary (bottom) shelf manager as described in Configure Single Shelf Manager above.

3. Switchover from the active to the backup shelf manager. See Check Dual Redundant Operation.

4. Repeat Switchover (to ensure it works in both directions).

5.1.5 Set the IP Address for Network Access by LAT

In order to gain network access to the Shelf Manager values are required for the IP address to be assigned, the subnet mask and the default gateway IP address.

To set a new IP address:

1. Login to the shelf manager as root

sentry login: root

Password: default password, either leave blank or use password as set.

Welcome to μClinux

BusyBox v0.60.5 (2004.10.20-19:22+0000) Built-in shell (msh)

#

2. Reboot the shelf manager. Interrupt the boot sequence (simply hit any key) to get the ARM boot prompt. Then to set IP address at the boot level:

# reboot

> setenv ipaddr <allocated IP address>

> setenv netmask <subnet mask>

> setenv gateway <default gateway IP address>

> saveenv

> reset

The shelf manager will then boot up and arrive back at the login prompt.

sentry login:

3. Login to the shelf manager as root and complete the configuration and set IP address at the application level.

sentry login: root

Password: (default password leave blank or use password as set in Password Setting)

Welcome to μClinux



BusyBox v0.60.5 (2004.10.20-19:22+0000) Built-in shell (msh)

#

# clia setlanconfig 1 ip <allocated IP address>

IPM Sentry Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter

IP set successfully

# clia setlanconfig 1 subnet_mask <subnet_mask>


Subnet Mask set successfully

# clia setlanconfig 1 dft_gw_ip <default gateway address>


Default Gateway Address set successfully

#

The shelf manager IP address is now assigned and can be verified with ifconfig. At this point the shelf manager can now be physically attached to the network by Ethernet cable to the port on the shelf manager front panel. The final step of the above instructions is simply a placeholder for the upgrade image and upgrade utility later in the overall procedure.

These instructions on Shelf Manager Configuration, Configure the Shelf Address, Password Setting, Date / Time setting, Setting the IP Address for Network Access should all be repeated for a second shelf manager if provided.

5.1.6 Configure the Shelf Address

Before commencing this action, a value is required for the 30 character string used to identify this shelf. It should be noted that the string will be converted into 6 bit packed ASCII and, as such, only the following characters may be used:

Uppercase alphabetic characters (although any lower case characters are converted automatically)

Numbers 0 to 9

Characters <space> ! ― # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? [ \ ] ^ _

1. Login to the shelf manager as root.

sentry login: root

Password: default password leave blank or use password as set

2. Enter the shelf manager command line interface.

# clia



CLI>

3. Assign the shelf address with the corresponding command

CLI> shelfaddress Assigned Shelf Address

Shelf Address Info set successfully

4. Re-read the shelf address.

CLI> shelfaddress

Shelf Address Info: ASSIGNED SHELF ADDRESS

CLI>

5. Exit the CLI application and log off.

CLI> exit (exits out of command prompt)

# exit (exits out of Linux)

5.1.7 Set Password by LAT

1. Login to the shelf manager as root

sentry login: root

Password:(there is no default password, leave blank)

2. Use Linux to set the password using the passwd command

# passwd

Changing password for root

Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)

Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.

Enter new password:

Re-enter new password:

Password changed.

#

# exit (exits out of Linux)

5.1.8 Set Date / Time by LAT


sentry login: root



Password: (default password leave blank or use password as set in Password Setting)

2. Use the Linux date command to set the date / time. The date command takes the following form:

date MMDDHHMMSSYYYY

So, for example

# date 03051159002008

Wed Mar 5 11:59:00 UTC 2008

3. Validate it has been set correctly.

# date

Wed Mar 5 11:59:05 UTC 2008

#

4. Log off the shelf manager.

# exit

5.1.9 Check Dual Redundant Operation

To check the operation of dual redundancy, perform a switchover as follows:

For a complete check the switchover should be in both directions.

5.1.9.1 Switchover by LAT


sentry login: root

Password: (if there is no default password, leave blank)

2. Enter the shelf manager command line interface.

# clia

CLI>

3. Initiate the switchover using the switchover command.



This procedure initiates the switchover from the active shelf manager in this instance, but this is one of the few CLI commands that will work on the backup shelf manager.

CLI> switchover

4. This Shelf Manager is now active but is shutting down to trigger a switchover.

CLI>

5.1.9.2 Switchover by web interface (network connection in place)

To perform the Shelf Manager switchover from the BS Web Page, perform the following steps:

1. Bring up a web browser and enter the local or network IP address of the active Shelf Manager. The following web page will be displayed.

Figure 6 – HiperMAX Web Shelf Manager Main Page

2. Select the Switchover link then submit the request. The response will indicate that the active manager is shutting down.

5.2 Configure Ethernet Switch

The switch can be managed on an exclusive connection or over the same Ethernet as the traffic. The advantage of using an exclusive connection is that the switch can still be managed if the network Ethernet is down.



Before starting to commission ensure availability of Port planning information.

Before starting to commission ensure availability of Port planning information including the following:

Separate Ethernet management and traffic ports or an Ethernet port with combined management and user traffic.

Switch Management in Network Ethernet (in band) or in separate Management Ethernet (out of band).

IP addresses for management.

8.2 Download / Upgrade Software

When upgrading both Netspan and Hardware, the Netspan upgrade should be done prior to doing a software upgrade to BS or SS.

8.2.1 Order Of upgrade

1. Base Stations

2. Subscriber Stations.

8.2.2 Process Overview

On-line software download is supported and operates while network traffic is running. The BS and SS can store the previous loaded software so that in the event of software corruption the last known good software can be recovered. The progress of the SW upgrade can be monitored individually on the Software tab of the BS/SS management page by clicking on reload.

Currently, Netspan does not support the software download feature to 3rd party CPEs.

Software upgrade is performed with help of Software Image Files and Software Image File Suites.

Software Image Files define the file, the file server and how the file can be found by the TFTP/FTP server.

Software Image File Suite defines a set of images required by a particular BS/SS as defined by Software Category (OS, Application etc.).

Software Categories enable the software operations to be carried out on all the hardware of a particular type on a network-wide basis.

In order to do software upgrades on individual base stations, use the Software Tab on the Base Station Management page then select Use this BS Config. When performing a global network wide upgrade, however, any Hardware set to Use this BS Config will not be upgraded.

8.2.2.1 Client Operations for Network Wide BS Upgrade

All BSs should be set to Use Global Config. Any BSs set to use BS Specific Configuration will not be upgraded in this process.

1. Create pointers to Image Files.

2. Group the pointers into an Image File Suite based on product category.



3. Use Edit Upgrade Category to initiate request and select required Image File Suite (1) Download and (2) Assign to Primary or Activate.

Download the NMS Server requests BS(s) to retrieve Image files for a specific BS type from a location on the TFTP server. The SS requests downloads from TFTP server. The BS downloads specified image files and places them in the standby bank.

Assign to Primary moves the image files to the primary bank.

Activate ensures that the version for activation ends up in the primary bank (provided it exists in any of the banks) and then resets from it. After reset, the BS then runs new software. In the BS list the Running Version field shows a new version.

8.2.2.2 Client Operations for BS Specific Upgrade

Set the BS to use BS Specific Configuration.




Download the NMS Server requests BS(s) to retrieve Image files for a specific BS type from a location on the TFTP server. SS requests downloads from TFTP server. The BS Downloads specified image files and places in standby bank.

Assign to Primary Moves image files to the primary bank.


8.2.2.3 Client Operations for Network Wide SS Upgrade

All SSs should be set to Use Global Config. Any SSs set to use BS Specific Configuration will not be upgraded in this process.



3. Use Edit Upgrade Category to initiate request and select required Image File Suite. (1) Download and (2) Assign to Primary or Activate.



Download the NMS Server requests SS(s) to retrieve Image files for a specific SS type from a location on the FTP server. The SS requests downloads from the FTP server. The SS Downloads specified image files and places in standby bank.

Assign to Primary moves the image files to primary bank.

Activate will ensure that the version for activation ends up in the primary bank (provided it exists in any of the banks) and then resets from it. After reset, the BS then runs new software. In the BS list the Running Version field shows a new version.

In any upgrade a request is made to Download the image and then another request is made to either Activate or Assign to Primary.

8.2.2.4 Client Operations for Specific SS Upgrade

All SSs for individual OR specific upgrade should be set to Use this SS Config.




Download The NMS Server requests SS(s) to retrieve Image files for a specific SS type from a location on the FTP server. The SS requests downloads from the FTP server. The SS downloads the specified image files and places them in the standby bank.

Assign to Primary moves the image files to the primary bank.


In any upgrade a request is made to Download the image and then another request is made to either Assign to Primary or Activate.

The Software Upgrade operation is provisioned by assigning a given Software Category.

When a profile is assigned Use this specific hardware category only given hardware will be upgraded. When the profile is assigned to Use Hardware Category Global Configuration all hardware characterised by the given category will be upgraded.



The progress of SW upgrade can be monitored individually on the Software tab of the BS management page by clicking reload frequently.

8.2.3 Detail Software Upgrade Categories

The step-by-step procedure to detail the software upgrade categories is as follows:

8.2.3.1 Software Images

1. Setup pointers to the software image locations for the BS OS, Application, SCRT, and Security Certificates as necessary for the hardware type. On a new system initially there are no Image Files defined.

Figure 24 – HiperMAX Software Image Configurations

2. Click Add to add additional pointers to the image code.

Figure 25 – HiperMAX Add Software Image Configuration

Product Category image(s): Select hardware that the image is intended for (OS, Application, SCRT Images etc.).



Image Type: Select the image type. The image types offered are dependant on the product selected (OS: Application: SCRT) A separate image file is needed for each image type.

Image File Server Protocol Type: This is automatically assigned dependant on the image selected, TFTP for Base Station, FTP for Subscriber Station.

Image File Server Type: IP address type (only Ipv4 supported currently).

Image File Server Address: Enter the network address where the TFTP/FTP server is located.

Image File Name With Path: The file name of the Image file must NOT contain the path only the file name. The path will be handled by the TFTP/FTP server. There is no ability to browse to location.

SS Configurations only

User Name and Password: These fields are only present for SS Images that come from an FTP server and the User name and password are as set in the FTP server.

Software Version Expected in the Image file

Software Version: Enter in this field the software version that is contained in the image file.

It is important that the software version is correct; if the s/w version is wrong the download will continually re-try and the user will never see it successfully completed.

8.2.3.2 Software Image File Suite

1. Setup the Software Image File Suite this brings together the images to be downloaded). It will be referenced by individual nodes (BS or SS) or by the Upgrade Categories to perform a system-wide upgrade.

Figure 26 – HiperMAX Setup Software Image File Suite

2. Click Add to add a new software image file suite. Add name, select Product Category Image Click on software type in list and the click Edit. Select file configuration and apply.



Figure 27 – HiperMAX Add Software Image Suite

In a new profile there is no software file configuration specified. It is necessary to select the number of the software type, then select EDIT. A pulldown menu will be available under Software File Configuration allowing for one of the images defined in the previous step to be chosen.

Repeat 2 above for the other images to be grouped into the image file suite. The screen capture below shows a completed image file suite.

Figure 28 – HiperMAX Add other to Software Image Suites



8.2.3.3 Upgrade Categories

The download will only be to the BS or SS hardware type to which it is set.

Configure Software Management Product for global actions to be performed for the BS shelf. There are entries for the SS, and different types of Base Station.

Figure 29 – HiperMAX Upgrade Categories

1. Select the category and click edit. Once selected the product will have the following options under Request—

2. If set to idle the software will not be downloaded until the request is set.

3. If download then the software is downloaded then the Image File Suite options are displayed. Select the Image File Suite to be downloaded into the BS/SS

4. If activate the BS/SS is set to run with this image. It will automatically be rebooted and then the requested s/w will run.

SS also has the option

1. Assign to Primary ensures (if possible) that the version requested ends up in the primary bank. The subscriber does not lose service but the software does not become active until the SS is reset or rebooted.



Figure 30 – HiperMAX Edit Upgrade Category

1. To perform a system-wide upgrade this should be set to Download Software, otherwise for individual BS/SS upgrade leave as Idle.

2. Click OK to initiate the download.

3. To check progress of the download reopen the edit products window and observe the Statistics display.

4. After this process has completed the process needs to be repeated to Activate/Assign to Primary the software download.

Individual Station Upgrade

1. Open the Software Management Upgrade Categories. Select the category that is relevant and set to or leave as Idle.



Figure 31 – HiperMAX for SS Edit Upgrade Category

2. Go to the Configuration management screen. Select Base Station or Subscriber Station and select the hardware to be upgraded from the list. More than one may be selected from the list using the Ctrl and Shift keys. Click Edit select the Software tab. One can follow the global configuration setup in the previous step or override with a specific action and profile.



Figure 32 – HiperMAX Configure Software Download

3. Window with heading of Current Software Status will be populated after changes have been made.

4. To check progress of the install refresh the screen by clicking reload. (The stages observed are TFTP/FTP, installing, Bytes DL and Installed.) After the Application shows a status of Installed, the software can be activated.

Use Configure Software tab and set the request to Activate (or Assign to Primary for SS if required). Click Apply.

5. After swapping the Standby and Primary banks the Status changes to Rebooting.

If Assign to Primary has been used for an SS the SS does not reboot and status becomes Idle.

6. After rebooting the hardware will run the new code.

If Assign to Primary has been used for an SS the SS does not reboot until the Subscriber resets the SS or the SS is reset from the SS Management: Actions screen.



It is possible to have mixture of option 1 and option 2, to allow network-wide upgrade with some equipment specific upgrade (where overridden individually on Manage/Software tab on individual BS or SS).

8.3 Manage Profiles

Service Flows are assigned to a Subscriber Station by defining a Service Product. Each Subscriber Station has a single Service Product to define the capacity and capability associated with the service delivered to each customer. Within the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard a Service Product can define up to sixteen Service Flows which provisions the types of service (web browsing, VoIP, FTP, etc) delivered by each Subscriber Station. Detailed QoS specification is defined within the Service Class and the filters which tag a level of QoS to a particular flag or packet type is defined within the Classifier Rules. A single QoS rule defined within the Service Class can be associated with one or more Classifier Rule(s).

Procedural content for this procedure is located in the Netspan Operations Guide.



9 Test BS TRx power and data throughput




1. Check TRx settings.

2. Check end–to-end traffic.

9.1 Check TRx power setting

To verify the TRx power settings on the BS, perform the following steps:

1. Locate the BS on the Base Station Sector list. Select and click Manage.

2. Open the Commissioning tab.

Figure 33 – HiperMAX edit TRx settings

3. Check Allow Edit box, enter the BS information then click Apply.



4. For HiperMAX and HiperMAX-micro the TX power should be 33 dBm and RX gain 130.

5. Click the Update from BS button and check the achieved level is close to the set value.

Figure 34 – HiperMAX update TRx settings

9.2 Test Data Throughput

The final test is to transport traffic across the system. Ideally, the switch should be connected to the operators IP network.

1. To make it possible for any test SS to use the network set a service product in the Edit Global Server Configuration/ Default SS configuration. It is suggested that this is a minimum service configuration for test purposes.



Figure 35 – HiperMAX Edit Global Server Configuration

2. Install a test SS in the base station sector.

3. Using a connected PC/Laptop, pass test data over the network. If the switch has been connected to an operators network the Web browsing would suffice. If web access is not available check pings or pass FTP data to a PC connected to the switch.

4. If successful the base station sector is now fully commissioned.



10 Appendix A

10.1 Commission GPS Receiver

This procedure is optional. Enter this procedure only if a GPS Receiver is to be part of the BS TRx equipment.

Set up requirements for commissioning are detailed in the Job Specification.

10.1.1 Modes of Operation

Depending on the conditions, the module can work in one of the following modes:

Initialisation: After a power-up, the initialisation mode assures the configuration of the system. The typical time to perform the configuration of the system is up to 10 seconds.

Warm-up: In this mode, the system is waiting for the GPS initialisation (Satellites acquisition, tracking algorithms...) and for stabilisation.

Tracking Fast: After the warm-up phase, the oscillator is ready to be tracked but with a short time constant to assure that the system is able to compensate for the deviation of the phase during the retrace phase of the oscillator.

The duration of this phase depends of the status of the oscillator regarding the following process:

During WARM-UP phase, the system continuously monitors the slope of the phase variation versus time between the oscillator signal and the frequency reference (GPS).

- The system stays in WARM-UP mode (cold oscillator or unavailable reference)

-The system enters in long time TRACKING FAST mode (1 hour)

- The system enters in short time TRACKING FAST mode (10 minutes)

- The systems enters directly in NORMAL TRACKED mode.

Normal Tracked: This is the normal mode of working. The system uses the time constant defined by the user (2000s by default)

Holdover: If no input is available, the module enters in holdover mode. The tracking function is blocked and the oscillator delivers its own frequency for the outputs.

10.1.2 Power-up GPS Receiver

The step-by-step procedure to power up the GPS Receiver is as follows:

1. Plug the supply cable into the GPS receiver.



2. A few seconds after power-up, the status of the system must be: Green LED blinking. This indicates that one or more unmasked alarm conditions are active on the module (INIT/WARM-UP, GPS, Oscillator alarm conditions).

If the Red LED is blinking, it indicates a connection problem between the module and the antenna (antenna over-current or undercurrent ). This indication may appear for a few minutes after power-up.

3. After approximately 12 minutes:

4. Red LED on: GPS reference unavailable and the module is in HOLDOVER mode

5. Green LED blinking: GPS reference is available and the module is operating in TRACKING FAST mode. Depending on the status of the oscillator, the TRACKING FAST mode duration can be either 10 minutes or 1 hour.

6. Green LED on: Means that the module is working in NORMAL TRACKED mode.

10.1.3 Configure GPS management

1. Click on GPS Config.

2. Click on Edit Row.

3. This step may require guidance from the Job Specification. With the row index set to 1, select whether the GPS module should be managed from the Primary Master or the Secondary Master.

4. Click Save.

10.2 Maintain Shelf Manager

These procedures address maintenance of the shelf manager:

Addition of Shelf Manager Achieving Dual Redundancy

Removal of Redundant Shelf Manager

Replacement of Non-Active Shelf Manager from Dual Redundant Pair

Replacement of Active Shelf Manager

Switchover by LAT
