1 Overview
This section discusses the purpose, intended audience, conventions, referenced documentation
and organization for this document.
1.1 Purpose
This manual guides the customer, through the design flow and content leading to the correct and
successful creation and establishment of basic and advanced MicroMAXd services, using Airspan
Networks equipment.
The target audiences of this paper are all customers using Airspan Networks equipments.
It does not require any previous technical knowledge
Please note the following:
Refer to this document after completing all the HW installation
This document is not a replacement for any User Manual or Guide

Note: To avoid or minimize potential service interruption, please ensure that
you have read and understood the contents of this paper.

Note: This paper is not a replacement to detailed specific complete product
manuals.



2 MicroMAXd Basic Configuration
This section explains how to create a basic link configuration with no traffic priority. It provides
setup steps for creating basic link with MicroMAXd BS.
The setup procedure will be defined as follows:
Initial Connection
Automatic Discovery via Netspan
Preparing Basic Service Profiles
Provisioning Service for Subscriber Station
2.1 Initial Connection
The following section explains the steps to take for the initial connection of the BS via the WEB
interface.
1. Connect to MicroMAXd Base Station Radio (BSR) using WEB interface
The following are the Default values:
IP address 10.0.0.123 (255.0.0.0)
User name admin
Password admin
2. Navigate to Addresses and modify the IP address according to your network
3. Click Submit
The following is displayed:

Figure 1 - Initial Connection
4. Navigate to SNMP Communities and modify the parameters according to your network (if
required)
5. Click Submit


Figure 2 - SNMP Communities

Note: If IP/subnet were changed in the MicroMAXd it is mandatory to reset
the MicroMAXd.

6. Navigate to Reset, perform Reboot and confirm.

Figure 3 Reboot
7. MicroMAXd BS will reboot with the new setting in approximately 60 seconds.
8. MicroMAXd BSID must be set previous Netspan configuration.
9. Navigate to Advanced > config > setMacDl

Figure 4 setMacDl
10. Set the BS ID this value shall be unique for each BSR - consult your network planning for
correct values as a certain mask / logic may have been applied for distinctive grouping and
logical subnets using octet combinations.
To better understand the importance and possible usage please consider the following
example:


Let us assume that in same geographical area, 2 operators are applying WiMAX services in
5.4-5.7 GHz unlicensed band using Airspans equipment:
With no distinction and basic agreements between the operators, they cannot block their
units to the particular channels belonging to their WiMAX deployment
With proper masking however - They can then use BSID locking at their subscriber stations,
for example:
Operator A: AAAAAA:000000 mask: FFFFFF:000000
Operator B: BBBBBB:000000 mask: FFFFFF:000000
And prevent their SS from connecting to unwanted BSRS.

Note: Defining other parameters is not mandatory at this stage these can
be adapted and modified via Netspan in later stages.

11. Click Call.
12. Wait until the OK confirmation appears (under the Call button).
2.2 Automatic Discovery via Netspan
The following section explains the steps to take for the automatic discovery of MicroMAXd via
Netspan.
To connect to MicroMAXd BS via Netspan
1. Login to Netspan
2. Navigate to Server > Discovery Parameters

Figure 5 - Discovery Tasks


3. Click Add
4. Define:
a. Name
b. Discovery Type
c. Write Community.
d. Read Only Community define a Community then click Add (on right side of the field)
e. Port enter 161 then click Add (on right side of the field)

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

5. Click Add in the Discovery Target IP Address Ranges section this will create range. For
example Start address = 10.0.0.123 and End Address=10.0.0.124
6. Select within the values area to set (define) both to the required IP address (of the BS)

Figure 6 - Edit Discovery Task Parameters
7. Click OK
The Management panel of the BS for which the Discovery Task was created is displayed:


Figure 7 - Discovery Tasks List
8. Navigate to Configuration Management and then BS TRx (in the left-hand column).

Figure 8 - BS TRxs
9. Select the BS that Netspan discovered.
10. Double-click on the MicroMAXd BS row then select the Channels tab.
As displayed below:

Figure 9 - BS TRxs Management
11. Double-click on the Channel row (of the specific MicroMAXd BS) then select the
Commissioning tab.
As displayed below:


Figure 10 - BS TRx Channel Management
12. Click Edit to change any parameter in this page (for example Frequency or Tx Power).
13. Click Apply
Your MicroMAXd BS is now discovered by Netspan and is ready for additional configuration,
provisioning and adaptations.
2.3 Preparing Basic Service Profiles
The following are the steps required for defining service profiles.

Note: In order to transmit traffic over the MicroMAXd WiMAX link at least
one service flow for Uplink and one for Downlink should be commissioned to
the WiMAX subscriber station through service products as explained below.

To create service profiles and Service products (includes classifiers and service class
settings)
1. Navigate to Service Profiles > SS Custom Configuration (in the left-hand column)
The following appears:

Figure 11 - SS Custom Config Profiles
2. Click Add and edit a Subscriber Station Custom Configuration Profile for the Subscribers.
3. Set as shown below: (name and descriptions choose naming convention most appropriate
for your system needs and for easy recognition of content settings).


Figure 12 - Add SS Custom Config Profiles
4. Click OK
5. Navigate to Service Profiles > SS VLAN Port (in the left-hand column).
6. Click Add.
7. Set as shown below:

Figure 13 - Edit SS VLAN Port Profile
8. Click OK
Now we will describe the creation of a Best effort service product. Service product enables traffic
to pass through the system: Classifier > Service Class > Service Flow > Service Product
The following example shows a wide open classifier, commonly called wildcard meaning no
classification of network layer rules.
Classifiers can be adapted to meet and classify different types of packets and assign them
different classes of services.

Note: If assistance is needed to adapt a traffic classifier to your needs
please contact your regional CS via the Airspan Tracker system.



2.3.1 Classifier Creation via Netspan
A packet classifier is a rule or set of rules based on L2 and or L3 packet characteristics. Based on
these classifications a data packet can then be assigned desired the QoS attributes as per the
designated service class characteristics.
1. Navigate to Service Profiles > Packet Classifier > Add
As shown below:

Figure 14 - Add Packet Classifier Rule Profile
2. Click OK to save.

Note: In current versions there is no need to check the L2 rule.

Note: Name is an alias and should have a meaningful association to the
entity.
2.3.2 Service Class Creation via Netspan
Service classes define the Air interface scheduler types and other QoS and BW restrictions based
on type of service offered to different types / levels of services.
These services were already mapped and classified using the packet classification capabilities.
1. Navigate to Service Profiles > Service Class > Add

Note: This is an example of a Best Effort scheduler service class type.


As shown below:

Figure 15 - Add Service Class
2. Click OK to save
2.3.3 Service Product Creation
Service class and their packet classifier sets define the WiMAX service flows.
These are provisioned to the individual Subscriber stations via the service product entity level.
1. Navigate to Service Profiles > Service Product > Add
As shown below:


Figure 16 - Add Service Product
2. Click Add to create Service flow for Downlink
As shown below:


2.3.4 Create the Service Flow for Downlink

3 Service Products (QoS) Explanation & Creation
This section will describe how the user data is being classified and conveyed over the WiMAX
link.

Note: It is mandatory to create Service Products in order to convey traffic
over the WiMAX link.
3.1 Classifiers
The classifier is an advanced filter. When a packet enters the queue it is being run through a set
of user defined filters (i.e. Classifiers) that determine a number of options:
Packet is to be sent through a specific service-flow
Packet is also to be tagged with VLAN ID
Packet is to be discarded
3.1.1 Priority
The Priority section defines which classifier is examined first when a packet enters the queue.
Ranges for the Priority are from 0 to 255. A classifier with a priority of 0 would be checked last
and a classifier with a priority of 255 would be checked first.
3.1.2 Drop
In ASMAX it is possible to use the classifier to drop packets (similar to a basic firewall).
In WiMAX packet classification can be done on a number of parameters. A list of classification
methods is shown below.
L2 Rules
This set of classifiers belongs to the third layer of the OSI model i.e. belongs to the network layer.
They consist of:
TOS range (with Mask)
IP Protocol Number (for details see http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers)
Source IP address (with Mask)
Destination IP address (with Mask)
Source port range
L3 Rules
These set of classifiers belong to the second layer of the OSI model i.e. belong to the
MAC layer. They consist of:
Source MAC address (with Mask)
Destination MAC address (with Mask)
Layer 3 protocol ID (for details see http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1042.html)
VLAN ID
VLAN Priority range
3.2 Service Classes
The service class is the actual physical Pipe on which the data is sent.
As in the world of plumbing, pipes come in different shapes and sizes. You can have a wide pipe
carrying a large amount of payload (e.g. high MIR) or a small pipe for low volumes (e.g. low MIR).


The Service Class also defines the scheduling type (only applies to UL). In WiMAX we have 4
types of scheduling types: BE, RTPS, NRTPS and UGS.

Note: Schedulers other than best effort are only applied to the Uplink
connections.

3.3 Service Flows
A Service Flow is a combination of n. number of classifiers that connect into a service class.
A Service Flow also has a direction UL or DL.
3.4 Service Products
A Service product is a bundle of service flows that can be assigned to a specific subscriber as a
pre-made package.

4 VLANs in MicroMAXd
Virtual LANs are essentially Layer 2 constructs and are created to provide the segmentation
services traditionally provided by routers in LAN configurations.
This section presents the configuration and provisioning steps required for the proper functionality
and support of different scenarios of IP traffic traveling end to end through established WiMAX
links using VLAN configuration.
The configurations and provisioning must match certain logics while applied both at BS as well as
Subscriber station.
Only then it will allow the below mentioned creation / manipulation and modes to be provisioned
and operated.
VLAN awareness
Enforcing VLAN for BS and SS management
Forwarding / Blocking / Filtering packets tagged in headers with certain 802.1Q VLAN
PVID's
Tagging and untagging allowances and capabilities at BS/ SS for UL and DL packets
At the end of this section an illustrated and detailed example of mixed types of multi tagging
setup is presented.
Please make sure to review and understand the logics of the given traffic behavior in this example
according to the applied VLAN configurations.
The sections below will describe the steps of creating and applying VLAN operations in your
MicroMAXd / Subscribers link environment.
4.1 Creating VLAN IDs
Initially it is required to create VLAN ID entities which are later to be applied in your BS and SS
profiles and configurations.
Creating VLAN IDs
1. Navigate your Netspan session to the VLAN configurations page via Service profile item on
the left Index column.

Figure 41 - VLAN Configuration


2. Click Add

Note: For basic creation of a VLAN ID, only refer to "Identity" section.

Note: For a further explanation of DHCP Relay and MAC force Forwarding
refer to the 605-0000-743 MicroMAXd Web-based Management User
Guide".

Table 2 - VLAN parameters
Field Description
Name
Assign a logical recognizable naming convention for easy identification
and provisioning at later stages, when more Vlan Ids will be created for
different tasks.
In this example PVID 100 was created for later deployment of
management traffic via VLAN only as explained below.
VLAN Id Value required integer of range (14094)- 100 was used in this
example.


Field Description

Existing BS TRxs
Check this box if you want all BS TRxs to be familiar with this Vlan ID.

3. Define the required fields.
4. Click OK to save the VLAN definition.
4.1.1 BS Bridge Mode "VLAN" and Management Traffic State
An initial requirement for VLAN awareness and operations at MicroMAXd is changing the Bridge
definition to VLAN mode.
Via the same screen and section (this step or later stages when required) applying
management through certain desired VLAN members only.
Changing Bridge mode to VLAN
1. Navigate to Configuration Management > BS TRx > choose BS > select Manage button >
Click on Provisioning tab
2. Click Edit at bottom menu and select Allow Edit, check box in the Bridge section
As shown below:


Figure 43 - Edit BS TRx Provisioning
3. Select VLAN (where Transparent was previously). The display will change to the following
view.

Note: Re: Management on VLAN: Carefully review the following explanation
prior to applying the example below:

After applying Management On VLAN and assigning a VLAN ID as created in the previous
section your BS and all its registered and managed Subscribers can be accessed only if your
PC/Laptop as well as Netspan Server's management traffic/ packets are tagged with the VLAN ID
chosen at this stage
Using the dropdown list choose if to apply Management via VLAN and if yes then choose the
Management VLAN ID from the dropdown list.
The VLANs show on the dropdown list will include all VLANs created as explained in previous
section.


4. Click OK to save the settings.

Note: tagged VLAN traffic will be routed no manipulation and can travel UL
and DL from the core IP network towards the subscriber stations and vice-
versa.
4.2 BS Port Mode VLAN
Unidirectional or bidirectional Data and VoIP traffic may arrive to the BS from either the core
network towards the RF linked subscribers or/and from the RF linked subscribers towards other
RF linked subscribers or/and the IP Core network.
This traffic may arrive as VLAN tagged or Untagged traffic.
In the UL direction it may be VLAN tagged by the Subscriber station via designated classifiers
and/or PVID's or already tagged by network devices residing behind the LAN port of the
subscriber. For example: switches, routers, home residential gateways, VoIP residential gateways
/phones.
To Control the Behavior and Routing of such Traffic:
1. Navigate to Configuration Management > BS TRx > choose BS > select Manage button >
click on Provisioning tab.
2. Click Edit at bottom menu and select Allow Edit mode and in the Bridge section select
VLAN from the dropdown list > in the port section select VLAN from the dropdown list.
As shown below:


The view will change as shown:

4.2.1 Adaptation of Port Mode Fields
This section will describe the adaptation of Port mode fields.


Figure 47 - Acceptable Frame Types
There are 3 modes of filtering the types of frames that will be accepted (forwarded / handled and
not dropped) by the BS.
Table 3 - Frame Types
Frame Types Description
Tagged and untagged Allows UL frames arriving from the SS with IP packet headers that are
Q.802.1 tagged as well as untagged packets.
Tagged Only Allows UL frames arriving from the SS with IP packet headers that are
Q.802.1 tagged Only.
Untagged Only Allows UL frames arriving from the SS with IP packet headers that are
VLAN untagged only.

Figure 48 - Port VLAN ID
Applying a previously created VLAN ID to the BS Port VLAN mode will cause the BS to tag all
untagged traffic arriving from the UL (subscriber stations) with this very VLAN ID prior to sending
the packets to the IP Core network through its ETH interface.
Traffic arriving from the core IP network towards the DL subscriber stations, whose packets are
tagged with this very PVID will cause the BS to Untag the packets prior to egression towards to
the RF In the example above VLAN ID 200 was applied as the PVID.
Default Priority
802.16 Class Of Service (CoS) priority indicator values 07.


Figure 49 - Port VLAN Lists: Member Set
In case the accepted frame types chosen to be handled by the BS are either tagged, Untagged or
Tagged Only: the BS will allow tagged traffic to be backhauled to the IP Core network Only if the
VLAN ID of the received packets coincide with the VLAN ID list added to the "Port VLAN Lists
member set list.
Highlight and add the VLAN ID's from the excluded set window.

Note: These VLAN IDs were created using the steps explained in Creating
VLAN IDs.

For the purpose of the next example we have added VLAN ID's: 99, 10 and 20 to the post VLAN
Lists member set.
If you decide that your membership list is to remain empty: consider changing Frame Types to
Untagged Only to guarantee cross platform support.
Click Apply to save your settings, as shown below.

Figure 50 - Edit BS TRx Provisioning Port VLAN
4.2.2 SS Port Mode VLAN (SS PVID)
As in BS case - Unidirectional or bidirectional Data and VoIP traffic may arrive to the subscriber
stations from either the end-user network through its ETH interface towards the BS (UL) over RF


links, or/and from the IP core network and/or other subscriber stations through the BS over the
DL RF data connections.
When a PVID is assigned to subscriber stations all traffic carrying packets of untagged nature
will be:
Applying a VLAN ID to the SS Port VLAN mode will cause the SS to tag untagged traffic
arriving from the ETH interface towards the RF interface with this specific VLAN ID prior
to sending the packets.
This occurs unless:
This specific SS is provisioned with a service product / service class that applies a
classifier rule which matches the packets to be transferred and this rule applies tagging
the UL traffic with a specific VLAN ID which differs from the PVID defined.
Traffic arriving from the Core IP network towards the DL subscriber stations, whose
packets are tagged with this specific PVID will cause the SS to Untag the packets prior to
egression towards to the RF interface.
4.2.2.1 Creating SS PVID Profiles
In this example VLAN ID 99 was applied as the SS PVID.
To Create an SS PVID
1. Navigate to Service Profiles > SS VLAN Port
2. Click Add at bottom menu
As shown below:

Figure 51 - Add SS VLAN Port Profile
For the settings and explanations regarding the above see BS Port Mode VLAN above.
4.2.2.2 Applying SS PVID Profiles
To provision a created SS PVID profile to a registered linked SS:
1. Navigate Netspan session to Configuration Management > Subscriber Station >
double click SS xxxxxx:xxxxxx > Provisioning > Edit
2. Select and apply the desired Port VLAN profile.
As shown below:


Figure 52 - Port VLAN profile Service
4.2.2.3 Creating Packet Classifier Rules for VLAN Tagging
VLAN tagging can be performed on packets meeting the designated classifier rule within the SS
Service product, when this classifier is set to perform Q.802.12 VLAN tagging
Refer to Service Products (QoS) Explanation & Creation above for information on how to create
service classifiers and service products.
Create a classifier matching a layer 2 and/or layer 3 or IANA protocol number based classifier and
apply VLAN tagging this way:
To Apply Traffic Tagging using Service Flows:
1. Open a new packet classifier rule profile as described in Service Products (QoS) Explanation
& Creation.
2. Clearly name your classifier
3. Create a Layer 2 and/or Layer 3 rule that matches your traffic destination characteristics.
As shown below:

4. On the VLAN Tagging section of same screen: assign a VLAN ID and COS priority
As shown below:


Figure 54 - Assign VLAN ID
In this example in order to demonstrate one of the cases in the example flow in Service Flows
untagged traffic with destination to 192.168.10.0./24 range will be tagged with VLAN ID 10.
After saving your classifier include it in the service product to be provisioned to the designated
subscribers' stations as explained in Service Products (QoS) Explanation & Creation.

Note: For traffic tagged at the SS level by PVID and/or Classifier: there is no
need to add the relevant VLAN ID's to the SS Member Set list.
4.3 Multi VLAN Tagging
Classifier based:
Working throughout an applied example
The following example demonstrates different traffic behavior and handling by SS and BS when a
combination of: PVID/ VLAN tagging Classifiers.


Figure 55 - PVID/ VLAN tagging Classifiers combination

Figure 56 - Traffic Behavior
4.4 Applying IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN Tag
The IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN Tag purpose is to expand the VLAN space by tagging the tagged
packets, thus producing a "double-tagged" frame. The expanded VLAN space allows the service
provider to provide certain services, such as Internet access on specific VLANs for specific
customers, and yet still allows the service provider to provide other types of services for their
other customers on other VLANs.


Figure 57 - Double-tagged frame

Note: The IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q double tagged frame is called "S-tag". The
IEEE 802.1Q "inner" tagged frame is called "C-tag". The previous section
dealt with the "c" tag VLAN settings.

This section will add the explanation to the different S / C tag Tagging and priority combinations
allowed in the BS as well as SS levels Via Netspan settings.
4.4.1 BS Q-in Q Configuration using Global BS Mode
In this mode all Subscriber stations connecting to the MicroMAX BS will operate their Q-in-Q
according to the BS VLAN configuration as demonstrated below.
These will include the S-tag Port VLAN and usage of C-tag priority as S-tag priority or new S-tag
priority as defined in S-tag priority field.
To define BS Q-in-Q configurations:
1. Navigate to Configuration Management > BS TRx > choose BS > select Manage button.
2. Select the BS Provisioning tab.
3. Click Edit at bottom menu and check Allow Edit in the Bridge section.
4. Choose bridge mode = Provider VLAN (Q in Q).


Figure 58 - Allow Edit
S-tag Ether type = 0x9100: this is the hex header type of 802.1 Q-in-Q
S-tag configuration mode = when configured as in above screen all SS's will behave
according to the BS S-tag configuration mode.
S-Tag port VLAN this will be the VLAN ID used at the header of the S-Tag
Use C-tag priority For S-Tag: if yes is chosen then the COS value chosen for the C-tag
(802.1Q VLAN COS) will be the one considered.
Use C-tag priority For S-Tag: if "NO" is chosen then assign a value in S-tag Priority field
as shown in next screen capture
S-tag priority S-tag COS Integer Value 0-7 as shown in the following screen:



Figure 59 - Change warning
4.4.2 BS Q-in Q Configuration using SS configuration mode
In this mode all Subscriber stations connecting to the MicroMAX BS will operate their Q-in-Q
according to the configuration of the PVID on each subscriber station.
To define SS Q-in-Q configurations:
1. Navigate to Configuration management > BS TRx > BS TRx Management.
2. Select the BS Provisioning tab.
3. Click Edit at bottom menu and check Allow Edit in the Bridge section.
4. Choose bridge mode = Provider VLAN (Q in Q).

As shown below:


Figure 61 - Provider VLAN
Set the bridge mode to Provider VLAN
In Provider VLAN Configuration section: configure the settings as explained in Creating
VLAN IDs.



5 MAC Forced Forwarding in MicroMAXd (MACFF)
MAC-Forced Forwarding (MACFF) is used to control unwanted broadcast traffic and host-to-
host communication. This is achieved by directing network traffic from hosts located on the same
subnet but at different locations to an upstream gateway device. This provides security at Layer 2
since no traffic is able to pass directly between the hosts.
Airspans BSRs support MACFF from version 7.5 and higher.
MACFF is operational ONLY via VLAN configuration and VLAN Bridge mode and requires PVID
mode in subscriber stations.
Version 7.7 introduces a new feature: enabling a BSR Network profile that allows 3 different
VLANs to be routed to 3 different MACFF destination IP addresses.
The MACFF is operated via global assignments of VLAN IDs flagged for usage of MACFF
option and then assigned to a Network BS-TRX profile.
This network profile in turn should be assigned to the Base station.
In addition and regardless: a PVID (Port VLAN ID) subscriber station profile shall be created
and assigned to the Subscriber stations as described in next example and screens bellow.
5.1 MFF Configuration Procedure via Netspan
To Create a VLAN identity to be used with the MACFF desired router / server

Figure 62 - Service Profiles - VLAN Configuration
1. Confirm your VLAN is flagged for MACFF usage.
As shown below:

Figure 63 - VLAN Identity


Note: The IP address shall be intentionally left empty- IP address of target
border device will be incorporated in the Network profile as described below.

2. Save your profile and confirm it now appears in the list of VLANs as follows:

Figure 64 - Confirm profile
3. Create a PVID profile applying the MACFF VLAN ID created as in previous set.
4. Navigate to Service Profiles > SS VLAN Port.

Figure 65 - SS VLAN Port

Figure 66 - Add SS VLAN Port Profile


5. Save your PVID and verify it appears in the SS VLAN Port profiles.

Figure 67 - Verify change
6. Navigate to BS TRx Profiles > Network.

Figure 68 - BS TRx Profiles Network
7. Define a BS TRx network profile incorporating the VLAN ID(s) and the IP addresses of the
border elements that shall be reached for all packets arriving from the STs served by the
sector assigned: make sure you choose and apply the correct hardware category type.

Note: Up to 3 MACFF destinations can be assigned per single network
profile.

Figure 69 - Add BS TRx Network Profile
8. Save your profile and confirm it now appears in the list of network profiles as shown:

Figure 70 - Confirm profile


9. Navigate to BS TRx Management > Provisioning tab configure as shown below:

Figure 71 - BS TRx Management Configure
10. Enter Edit mode and assign the created network profile as shown below:

The last step in the process is to assign the assigned VLAN profile to the specific subscriber
stations to be disabled from direct traffic capabilities.
Navigate the Netspan session towards display of the subscriber stations: Registered SS >
choose specific SS > Provisioning tab, and assign the VLAN profile to the SS.

Note: Make sure the intended VLAN to be assigned is the one with the MFF
feature checked.



6 DHCP Option 82
DHCP Option 82 provides a mechanism for generating IP addresses based on location the client
device is in the network. Information about its location can be sent along with the request to the
server. The DHCP server makes a decision on what IP should be assigned based on this
information. In order to implement DHCP Option 82, the network must have the following
equipment:
Standard DHCP client
Switch or router implementing Relay Agent with Option 82 support
DHCP server with Option 82 Support
When applying Option 82 for DHCP in Airspans MicroMAX BSRs it acts as a switch
implementing Relay agent Option 82.
The DHCP relay agent and Option 82 are defined in RFC 3046. Relay Agent Information option
is inserted by the DHCP relay agent, in our case the MicroMAX BSR when forwarding client-
originated DHCP packets to a DHCP server.
Servers recognizing the Relay Agent Information option may use the Information to implement IP
address or other parameter assignment policies.
The MicroMAX and Subscriber Station in conjunction, when enabled and configured for the
DHCP relay agent, intercepts the DHCP requests, appends the circuit ID + remote ID into the
Option 82 fields and forwards the request message to DHCP server
In Airspans BSR profile settings Option 82 is operational ONLY via VLAN configuration and
VLAN Bridge mode and requires PVID mode in subscriber stations.
Version 7.7 introduced a new feature - enabling editing the values for Circuit ID and remote ID
values as well as enabling MACFF and VLAN Option 82 operations alongside. As VLAN profiles
and PVID operations were explained already in previous sections the following will explain the
Option 82 related parameters only.
6.1 Creating a VLAN Identity to be used with the desired Option 82
Mode
Binary or text mode should be chosen according to Routers/ DHCP servers deployment
requirements in you network.

Figure 73 - Service Profiles - VLAN Configuration


Figure 74 - Add VLAN - Option 82
6.2 Inserting Circuit ID information in BSR:

Note: Option 82 can be used alongside with MFF profiles.



6.3 Inserting Agent Remote ID Information in Subscriber Stations

Figure 76 - Edit SS Provisioning - Remote ID

Note: For the Option 82 properly operate:
BSR must be operating in VLAN Bridge mode.
Subscriber stations must operate also under Bridge mode VLAN
+ PVID set with Option 82 enabled with VLAN configuration
applied.

8 DFS Operations
In some countries 5.X GHz bands are used for Broadband Wireless Access, but at the same time
radar systems are using some of these bands
Regulations in such cases sometimes require Dynamic Frequency Shift (DFS) of the Broadband
Wireless system when such radar is discovered above a certain level of power. In such cases
DFS is defined by the relevant ETSI, FCC or local regulations.
In many countries DFS is not required especially in:
Central America and Latin America
Asia Pacific
Middle East and Africa
Parts of Europe
In other countries DFS is required in part of the band only.
MicroMAX and ProST (and ProST-WiFi) are available in the following 5.X GHz bands:
5.47-5.725 GHz
5.725-5.875 GHz
5.15-5.35 GHz is part of their roadmap
MicroMAX and ProST 5.X GHz have DFS in their roadmap.
DFS is an effort to cope with radars, not with interferences as there are other mechanisms to
cope with interferences in unlicensed bands.
The 5 GHz unlicensed spectrum is sometimes used by of radar systems also operating in this
spectrum. In some countries it is compulsory to avoid interference with such radar systems. DFS
allows wireless devices operating in this spectrum to detect radar and quickly vacate any
channels currently used by the radar systems. Using DFS operation is switched from the radar
channel to the new channel. This channel switching technique minimizes disruption to users
during a radar event. Enable if required in the country of operation.
Dynamic Frequency Switching
Availability Check: Required before start transmission on the selected channel - in order
to verify that no radars are present.
In Service Check: Required during operation in the channel.
Standard Channel: The standard that defined the radar type, detection threshold [ETSI,
FCC].
List Scheme: This parameter defines the channel central frequency and/or step
increment size. It is based according to standard definition or BS TRx capability [USA
WiMAX HUMAN/Europe WiMAX] HUMAN (802.16 _ 8.5). Netspan Operations Guide
Page 190 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D00083 Rev A.1
Allowed Channels: A BS TRx can be restricted to any set of channels that it can use by
typing the allowed channels. Type ranges and/or single channels separated by commas.
Netspan helps the user by translating the channel numbers into frequencies. The BS TRx will not
use any channel that is not in the allowed channels list AND in the channel scheme.
Power Threshold: Defines the BS TRx antenna gain for determining the correct detection
threshold.
Tx Max Power Configuration: enable/disable.


Tx Max Power: Tx power allowed. This value should include the antenna gain and
transmission bandwidth. The values to be configured depend on the standard and
operation frequency.
Bandwidth Share for Measurement: The time that the BS TRx will use for radar detection
(Tx).
Minimum Number of Pulses for Detection: The minimum number of pulses per burst
should be taken for detection. In that way a false alarm is minimized.
Minimum Number of Bursts for Detection: The last step in decision is that more than a
predefined number of burst where detected.
Radar Detection Sensitivity: Radar detection minimum likelihood, define the ratio of radar
signal to the total detected signal.
Clearest Channel Choice



9 VoiceMAX Operations
Deploying a VoIP telephony service over WiMAX network requires an understanding of the VoIP
technology and the tools the WiMAX standard provides. VoiceMAX simplifies the optimization of
the resources "handling" the three main network variants that affect the voice quality.
Packet loss
Latency
Jitter
When deploying VoiceMax solution - there is no longer need to deploy QOS settings and fixed
UGS adaptations for RTP media as described in previous chapters.
For Initial Operation
VoiceMAX server installed at the IP core of the planned VoIP network
VoiceMAX server only a single VoiceMAX server domain / IP shall serve a BS at a time
(can serve and connect to various base stations)
9.1 VoiceMAX Architecture
The VoiceMAX Airspan VoIP over WIMAX solution consists of the following component designs:
VoiceMAX Server (x 2 if cluster)
Airspan Base Station(s)
Airspan Subscriber Station(s)
Netspan Server
SIP Softswitch(s) - 3rd party, and /or proxies
SIP User Agents - EasyVoice or 3rd party IP phones/SIP residential gateways
The figure below displays a typical VoiceMAX Topology.
The VoiceMAX Server is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch/ETSI cabinet and provides
mounting bracket flanges for mounting the VoiceMAX into the cabinet, in its kit. The VoiceMAX
Server is connected to the network switch by standard RJ-45 cables. Each Server has 3 Ethernet
NIC cards:

Figure 89 - VoiceMAX rear
Rear View:
1. Power Supply Cable Socket
2. PS/2 Mouse Port
3. PS/2 Keyboard Port
4. Two GbE LAN ports for NIC 1 and NIC 2 (RJ-45) - labeled 1 and 2 / OS level named as eth0
and eth1
5. Rear USB ports
6. LO100i 10/100 Mbps LAN port for IPMI management (RJ-45)


7. Video Port
8. Serial Port
9. One GbE LAN ports for NIC 3 (RJ-45) - OS level named as eth2
NIC cards 1 and 2 connect to the Network as follows:
The NIC card designated as QoS via web management should be assigned a proper IP address
and be connected to a route enabling it to open a TCP link towards the BSRs in service.
The NIC card designated as VoIP via web management configuration should be assigned a
proper IP address / subnet and mask and be connected to a route enabling connectivity to the
UAs subnet ( over BSR links ) AND the VoIP network application servers : SSWs / SBCs /
Registrars / SIP Proxies involved in your overall VoIP solution.

Note: If VoIP and QoS are on same subnet and base stations are not
managed by VLAN management it is possible to utilize a single NIC.

The third NIC card (eth2) is used only when cluster mode between 2 servers When in cluster
operation and only after configuring local appropriated IP addresses for these Ethernet cards -
these 2 NICs shall be interconnected locally using a crossed over Ethernet cable.

Note: For conventional purposes it is advised to make use of NIC 1 (eth0)
for VoIP and nic2 (eth1) for QoS VoiceMAX application.

9.2 Initial Procedures
This section describes the initial procedure for VoiceMAX operation.
It should be noted that VoiceMAX Server has both Eth0 and Eth1 IP configurations:

9.7.2.1 SIP Signaling Priority
The VoiceMAX solution provides a dynamic adapted UGS service for the VoIP Media
RTP packets only
The SIP signaling UL and DL messages flowing from / to SIP terminals is conveyed over
best effort QoS service flows
In order to maintain proper SIP signaling messages flow within a congested Link proper
higher traffic priority shall be given to SIP messages over other types of data packets
flowing over the same link.
This is achieved via configuration of adapted classifiers and service classes within the
service product to be provisioned to the SS/ ST's servicing SIP terminals towards the
VoiceMAX server.
See Best Effort Examples for instructions and example on how to prioritize SIP signaling traffic on
best effort scheduling type.
You are now ready to set your SIP terminals to register towards the domain/ IP address of your
VoiceMAX server and start receiving QoS admission control for incoming and outgoing calls
towards different SIP subscribers across the WiMAX and external subscribers being serviced by
3
rd
party SSW applications.
For more detailed explanations regarding additional features, configurations, debugging options
and admission control options please refer to the VoiceMAX user manual.



9.8 VoiceMAX Cluster Support
The VoiceMAX Cluster is available for Fail-over redundancy made up of two (2) VoiceMAX
servers, one active and one passive that update each other in real time. In the event that the
active server fails for application, hardware or network availability issues a switch-over to the
second server is triggered for service and continues the availability.
9.8.1 General
This section guides the user through the process of turning a single Server VoiceMAX into dual
server cluster mode.
This section is not a replacement for any User Manual or Guide.
The process of joining an additional VoiceMAX Server to an existing serviceable single
server to form a basic cluster solution requires a service downtime of approximately 20
30 minutes.

Note: To avoid or minimize potential service interruption, please ensure
that you have read and understood the contents of this section.

10.3 Automated Provisioning of EasyVoice
Centralized automated provisioning of basic and advanced Sip / SLIC and phone operations /
Class 5 parameters can be performed via 2 methods:
1. Using a master configuration file via local backup and restore
2. Individual or Master edited and adapted textual .cfg configuration file, provisioned to the
EasyVoice units via TFTP when DHCP Network mode is applied.
Using the Automated or periodical method via DHCP mode - an optional additional feature is
achieved which is - auto firmware loading per request.
For the second option - in order to apply Remote auto provisioning - the EasyVoice should be
configured for DHCP Network mode the following are the required steps for Auto provisioning of
EasyVoice through .cfg file


A basic generic template of the configuration file is provided along with the firmware version.
The file is named Airspan.cfg you may change the file name and keep different versions /
individually adapted ones.
As long as the relevant section of DHCP / TFTP servers are pointing to the correct directory / file
name the EasyVoice will be provisioned with its contents.
The section below will explain how to provision a single master file towards all units in your
network provisioned by a generic global section of a DHCP server.

Note: Do not make use of your Netspan Server for DHCP / TFTP server
services. It is highly recommended to introduce dedicated Linux based
servers for these tasks.

Individual provisioning per MAC address of units, containing individual phone number / username
/ password and display name can be achieved by adapting each configuration file and setting the
DHCP server to point towards these very same via proper pre-sectioning of DHCP server
configuration file per MAC address.
Detailed explanation regarding the different configurable fields of the .cfg file will be reviewed
following the explanation below regarding the steps required to achieve proper automated
procedure.
Please perform the following steps in following order:
1. Introduce proper stable DHCP server / services to your network with adapted allocation of IP
poll towards the EasyVoice.
2. In the same DHCP server configure its bootp / TFTP section to point for the .cfg file name
and TFTP servers address where the .cfg file resides.
3. Introduce a stable TFTP server into your network (preferably Linux based and dedicated for
the provisioning task).
4. Place the pre edited .cfg file in specified directory of your TFTP server
5. Configure your TFTP server to direct the TFTP requests toward the same directory and
provide.
6. If firmware upgrades are also to be performed via automated procedure place the latest
released binary firmware version file in same directory where the .cfg file is placed OR
alternatively in a separate TFTP server redirection to this server for the purpose of the
firmware upgrade is done at the .cfg file level and NOT at DHCP server level explained at
.cfg contents section below.
7. Navigate to the Provision tab of your EasyVoice web management:

Figure 120 Provision
Make sure the S/W upgrade working mode is set to Automatic and click Save. There is no need
to set any values for File name / TFTP server Host these are provided Via DHCP / TFTP server.


8. Navigate to the Quick Setup of your EasyVoice web management.

Figure 121 - Quick Setup
9. Set the connection Mode to DHCP and click Save.
The following events will now take place:
1. EasyVoice unit will reboot.
2. EasyVoice unit will broadcast request for DHCP allocation and should be provided an IP
address / mask and gateway values.
3. EasyVoice will be redirected via bootp section of DHCP message to listen to TFTP
broadcast of TFTP server.
4. .cfg file will be transferred to the EasyVoice. EasyVoice will keep a stamp image of the .cfg
file and read its contents.
5. If firmware upgrade is also requested (depending on .cfg parameter settings) Firmware file
will now be transferred to the EasyVoice.
6. When above step is completed -EasyVoice will restart again.
7. If at interim contents / digital stamp of the .cfg file has not been changed the EasyVoice
will apply the files settings to its flash memory.

14 Troubleshooting
14.1 Subscriber
SS is continuously rebooting
DHCP, the SS will reboot if it failed to receive IP Address from DHCP Server unless it
is configured with static IP (see below).
SS will reboot if it fails to register with BS (see below).
SS fails to receive IP from DHCP server
No DHCP server is available on the SS broadcast domain. If VLAN are used, please
check that the DHCP server is located on the same VLAN as the SS.
DHCP server needs to be accessible to the SS from its air interface. DHCP server
connected to the SS Ethernet port is not a valid option.
Option82 may be enabled, this requires the DHCP to support Option82 (and the
specific configuration text/binary) before the SS will receive the IP assignment.
The SS is configured by default to use DHCP server.
SS fails to register with BS (SS "link-status" is never "Operational")
Check BS-ID and mask configured match the value configured in the BS.
Check that the channel size used by the BS is defined in the "Channel Table
Settings".
Check that the down-link frequency used by the BS is in the "Channel Table Settings"
of the relevant channel size.
For ProST2/EasyST2 & TDD BS, check that the down-link and up-link frequencies
defined in the BS are the same frequency.
The RF link is not good enough (see below).
Check that the SS is running a software version of the same SR as the BS.
No connectivity to SS web
The SS IP address may not be accessible (no route, or wrong VLAN).
The default IP (10.0.0.1) of the SS is only accessible from its Ethernet port.
The default IP (10.0.0.1) of the SS is not accessible if the EasyWiFi or ProST-WiFi or
EasyVoice are configured in router mode.
Poor RF link
RF link between BS and SS need to meet the minimum radio values (SNR & RSSI) required for
link. The RF link may be attempted to be improved by:
Try to improve BS location.
Try to increase BS Tx power.
Check if the SS Tx power is restricted.
Check if the SS (or its external antenna) location can be changed.
To attempt a more robust uplink, midambles can be used.
If the environment suffers from fast fading, the CP value might be increased.
No traffic to SS clients
Check that the SS is registered (see above).
Check that relevant Service-Flows are defined.


Check for MAC table restrictions (over the configured limit, too many static address).
Check the VLAN configuration.
14.2 BSDU
BSDU reboots constantly
If the BSDU is running 5.0.4.0, follow recovery document and upgrade.
No traps received by Netspan
Check trap destinations configuration: IP address & port.
Check connectivity between Netspan & BSDU: IP & port.
Attached BS to the BSDU is not accessible / powered
Check that the port is connected.
Check the BSDU power supply, it should be -48 V (lower will only power a few ports
but not all, higher voltage could cause unexpected behavior).
Check port "Link Status" & "Power Status" are "UP", if one of them is "Down" disable
the port, enable it, wait 1 minute.
If "Port Admin" status is "Testing", change to "Enabled".
GPS sync loss
Correct GPS activity is reflected in the log; each second two events should be seen:
GPS connection.
1PPS received.
Confirm:
Cable (ping out, connectivity).
GPS antenna should be installed without overhead obscurations, to allow GPS
satellite reception.
SYNC configuration, SYNC mode for GPS is "Rear-Panel GPS".
GPS Serial Baud Rate is 9600.
"Front-Panel GPS" can be used if the BSDU is fed of another BSDU.
Disconnect the GPS cable, wait for GPS loss event in the log and reconnect the
cable.
BSDU is not accessible via the it's WEB-interface
The BSDU may be configured to be "Manage through Management Port Only".
The BSDU may be configured with "Management VLAN".
If the BSDU was running software version 5.0.4.0 & connected to Netspan, it's file
system may have being corrupted, use the recovery document and upgrade the
software.
Netspan does not 'find' the BSDU
Check that there is IP connectivity between Netspan server and BSDU.
Check the SNMP communities configured in BSDU and Netspan discovery task.
BS attached to the BSDU does not show on it's "Topology" page
Check "Topology polling" is enabled for the BSDU and specific port.
Check that the BS is running SR 6 or higher.


The "Choose capture port" list in "Mirroring" page is empty
In order to mirror traffic a designated "Testing" port should be assigned in "Port
Management" page.
The "Please choose capture port" list in "Cable Test" page is empty
In order to mirror traffic a designated "Testing" port should be assigned in "Port
Management" page.
14.3 MicroMAXd
Problem provisioning from Netspan
Check that the BS is running software from the same SR as Netspan is running.
Check IP (& SNMP) connectivity between Netspan & BS.
Clear old alarms in Netspan.
Check the configuration of the BS in Netspan (the provisioning failure event should
have a general reference to what was wrong).
Check the SNMP community names used in Netspan discovery task match those
configured in MicroMAX.
MicroMAX returns to previous values after reboot
Check if there is a start-up script defined.
Check the configuration of the BS in Netspan.
MicroMAX keeps on changing values and parameters
Check that the MicroMAX is configured either by its web-interface or & Netspan.
MicroMAX is not discovered by Netspan
Check IP (& SNMP) connectivity between Netspan & BS.
Check that the SNMP communities configured in MicroMAX match those in define in
the relevant discovery task.
Check that the MicroMAX has a non default ("00:00:00:00:00:00) BS-ID.
SS does not meet expected performance
Check that BS, Netspan & SS all run the same SR.
Check that the SS & BS use recommended settings.
Consider the service-product assigned, do you have a QoS issue?
Check for high PPS.
If using BE, nRTPS, RTP, For traffic with 20ms interval or more consider the effect
the contention slot effect.
If traffic is sent to an unknown MAC destination, it will be sent as broadcast using
BPSK.
MicroMAX is not accessible via telnet to its defined IP address
MicroMAX may be configured to be managed by VLAN, use the correct VLAN to
access it.
MicroMAX is not accessible via serial
Check the correct serial connection was made (cable and setting).
MicroMAX may be in "Safe-Mode" and can be accessed with Telnet in the default IP
(10.0.0.123 no VLAN).
.MicroMAX may be in "Safe-Mode" and can be access in the default IP (10.0.0.123).


MicroMAX may be in "Safe-Mode" and can be access in the default IP (10.0.0.123).
Unexpected behavior with UGS,
If UGS was configured and unexpected behavior are occurring.
Check that MIR and CIR values are equal and are within link capacity.
Check that the polling-time, match the characteristics of the traffic.

Note: Polling-time defines the uplink grant interval. Polling-time defined as
the frame-duration (default 10ms), will cause the BS to allocate up-link
bandwidth for the SS on every frame. Defining larger values for example
40ms on 10ms frame-duration cell, will cause the BS to allocate up-link to the
SS on 1/4 of the time.
14.4 VoiceMAX common possible faults
No connection between VoiceMAX server and BS
Check that the BS was provisioned with the correct QoS parameters in profile
reflecting the socket of VoiceMAX server
Check port and firewall information
Check QoS configuration in VoiceMAX server
VoiceMAX not forwarding (proxying) SIP messages to the default SSW
Check SIP configuration parameters
Check DNS resolution to target host
Check route to subnet of the SSW / Registrar
Check your SS service product
UAs not registering to their target registrar via VoiceMAX
Check VoiceMAX IP and sip configuration
Check your SS service product
Check UAs registrar / address of registrar record and proxy configuration
Check that UA are in same subnet or have a router / NAT traversal opened to
VoiceMAX server
Are VLANs involved? Check your VLAN configurations.
Check if 200 ok bind messages are indeed being returned from the target registrar
attach wireshark traces to your tracker ticket.
VoiceMAX server is failing incoming and or outgoing calls
Check if bypassing the VoiceMAX solves the issue
Attach traces of the sip signaling messages between UAVoiceMAX SSW
Uni Directional Voice
Is UA behind NAT?
Are you applying NAT solutions in your network?
