Services Menu 4.10 Services Menu 4.10.1 Introduction to Services 4.10.1.1 Services, Subscribers and Service Profiles A Service is a virtual connection between a Subscriber's application and the Network Resource. The Network Resource could be Internet, Content Provider, Corporate Network, etc. The Services are implemented as IEEE 802.16 connections within the wireless domain. Each Service can include up to 4 uplink and 4 downlink connections.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration wireless domain. These may include Unicast and Multicast Forwarding rules, QoS Profile for Multicasts and Unknown Address Forwarding Policy. The available features depend on the Service Type. The data may be switched only between the Services that share the same Forwarding Rule. In all other respects the service functions as a standard Bridge.
Services Menu Access Concentrator behind the Base Station. The frames are forwarded only between the Subscribers' PCs and the PPPoE Access Concentrator. Frames that are not PPPoE Ethertype are discarded. In the uplink, frames are never relayed but only forwarded to the Access Concentrator. In the downlink, broadcasts are allowed only in cases of unknown addresses. 4.10.1.2.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Automatic support of Codec changing in a VoIP call - the DRAP messages update the BreezeMAX equipment on any Codec change or subsequent bandwidth allocation change during the call, hence the exact required bandwidth is always provided. This is essential in fax transmissions where the call might begin with one Codec and switch to another to accommodate the fax transmission.
Services Menu Changes in Global profiles (add, update or delete) are applied by loading a new XML file. A newly loaded XML file replaces completely all the Global profiles in the database. NOTE If a Global Service Profile component (Forwarding Rule, Priority Classifier, QoS Profile) is in use by a Local Service Profile (or component), it will not be affected (deleted or updated) by loading a new XML file.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration SU may receive specific services from the RADIUS Authentication server based on these credentials. C Null (blank) User Password (non-null User Name) Quick Mode is the recommended Service Mode. RADIUS Authorization and Accounting servers (may be implemented in the same server) are required for proper service provisioning.
Services Menu If the VPL ID is other than None (applicable only if VLAN Transparency Mode is Off), all untagged frames forwarded to the network will be tagged with the VPL ID. The VLAN ID in tagged frames arriving from the wireless network will be replaced by the VPL ID. The guidelines that should be followed when defining VPL ID are: Several Service Profiles may share the same VPL ID.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Hybrid VLAN Mode is Off and the VLAN List includes a single VLAN ID. Hybrid VLAN Mode is On and the VLAN List is empty. For transparent services it is also possible to configure an Access VLAN to be used with untagged packets received on the Ethernet port of the SU. This parameter is applicable only for a transparent service with Hybrid Mode set to On, or a transparent service with Hybrid Mode set to Off and an empty VLAN list.
Services Menu The maximum total number of VLAN IDs behind the same SU is 16 (15 when there is a Service with Hybrid VLAN Mode On is assigned to the SU). The combination of VLAN Transparency Service On, Hybrid VLAN Mode Off and an empty VLAN List means that all packets are forwarded. This combination should be used only if the Service Provider can ensure that there will not be conflicts between VLAN IDs used by devices behind the SU and existing VPL IDs.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Figure 4-2: Filtering Functionality The filtering definition process includes the following steps: 1 Defining list(s) of Filtering Rules.

A First Name consists of up to 50 printable characters. 4.10.4.2.3 Last Name An optional parameter for information purposes.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration NOTE The proper process of removing a Service is: 1. Disable the Service (set the Admin Status to Disable) 2. Delete the Service. If the Service is not disabled prior to being the deleted, VLAN ID included in the VLAN List of the deleted Service may still be used by other Services to the same SU that use the same Forwarding Rule as the deleted Service. The Services database in the NPU (Base Station) can hold up to 4095 Services.
Services Menu The list includes VLAN IDs, each one in the range of 0 to 4094, separated by commas. Select null (empty string) for No VLAN. The VLAN List is not displayed in Show menus if the list is empty. When Hybrid VLAN Mode is Off, the VLAN List can include up to 16 VLAN IDs. When Hybrid VLAN Mode is On, the VLAN List can include up to 15 VLAN IDs (the 16th entry is reserved for No VLAN). The maximum total number of VLAN IDs behind a single SU is 16.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration VLAN Classification Mode can be set to On only if the following conditions are met: The VLAN Transparency Mode of the applicable Service Profile is set to On. A single VLAN ID is defined for the Service. This means that the allowed combinations are: Hybrid VLAN Mode is Off and the VLAN List includes a single VLAN ID. Hybrid VLAN Mode is On and the VLAN List is empty.

The currently available Service Type options are: 1 - L2 2 - PPPoE 3 - Voice For more details refer to Section 4.10.1.2. 4.10.4.4.3 VLAN Transparency Mode The VLAN Transparency Mode defines the method of transferring packets to the operator's upstream network.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration When set to Off, data packets sent from the Base Station to the backbone will be transferred with a VLAN tag according to the VPL ID. The VLAN ID in tagged frames arriving from the wireless network will be replaced by the VPL ID. For packets received from the network, the forwarding decision will be according to the Forwarding Rule defined in the Service Profile with a matching VPL ID.
Services Menu upstream network to handle the traffic accordingly. Within the BreezeMAX system, frames can be classified to QoS classes using Priority Classifiers, based on either a DSCP header or 802,1p tag. This applies only in cases where an external networking device marks the applicable fields. BreezeMAX also enables marking data transmitted to the backbone network with either DSCP or 802.1p values, where the marking is done per Service Profile.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration 2 802.1p Marking Mode: If VLAN Transparency Mode is Off, all frames are marked with the configured VPL ID and the 802.1p Marking Value. If no VPL ID is configured (VPL ID = None), the 802.1Q header will include a VLAN ID = 0. If VLAN Transparency Mode is On, all frames are marked with the original VLAN ID and the 802.1p Marking Value. NOTE If the Priority Marking Value is set to 0, untagged packets (without VLAN ID) will be forwarded without any change.
Services Menu NOTE PPPoE frames can be marked only with 802.1p. DSCP marking for PPPoE services is not supported. In L2 Services, many protocols may be carried over Ethernet. As BreezeMAX bridges all these protocols, there's no way to know what protocol type is encapsulated in Ethernet beforehand. Consequently, if DSCP Marking is configured for L2, the BreezeMAX system uses DSCP marking only for IP packets (e.g. Ethertype 0x0800). If 802.1p Marking is configured, it is used for all frames. 4.10.4.4.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration NOTE To properly support Call Waiting, the Maximum Number of Voice Calls should be configured to a value that is twice the number of actual voice sessions that can be supported simultaneously. 4.10.4.4.10 Service Profile Class A read-only parameter (available only in Show menu) indicating whether the Service Profile is Local or Global.

Glossary AAA Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (Pronounced "triple a."). A system (or several systems) that controls what resources users have access to, and keeps track of the activity of users over the network. ANSI American National Standards Institute. A voluntary organization composed of corporate, government, and other members that coordinates standards-related activities, approves U.S.
Glossary BER Bit Error Rate. In a digital transmission, BER is the percentage of bits with errors divided by the total number of bits that have been transmitted, received or processed over a given time period. BPSK Binary Phase-Shift Keying. A data transfer technique. BPSK transmits data using two phase modulation signals, one phase representing a binary one, and the other representing a binary zero. The signal is divided into bits; their status is determined by the preceding wave.
Glossary CSMA/CD Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. Media-access mechanisms wherein devices ready to transmit data first check the channel for a carrier. If no carrier is sensed for a specific period of time, a device can transmit. If two devices transmit at once, a collision occurs and is detected by all colliding devices. This collision subsequently delays retransmissions from those devices for some random length of time. Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 use CSMA/CD access.
Glossary EMC Electro-Magnetic Compatibility. The capability of equipment or systems to be used in their intended environment within designed efficiency levels without causing or receiving degradation due to unintentional EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference). EMC generally encompasses all of the electromagnetic disciplines. ETSI European Telecommunications Standards Institute.
Glossary G.729 A compression technique where voice is coded into 8 Kbps streams. There are two variations of this standard (G.729 and G.729 Annex A) that differ mainly in computational complexity; both provide speech quality similar to 32-kbps ADPCM. Described in the ITU-T standard in its G-series recommendations. GPS Global Positioning System. A system that uses satellites, receivers and software to allow users to determine their precise geographic position. H.
Glossary IEEE 802.3 A Local Area Network protocol suite commonly known as Ethernet. Ethernet uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access bus with Collision Detection CSMA/CD.

Glossary NRT Non Real Time. is very similar to the Real-Time polling service except that connections may utilize random access transmit opportunities for sending bandwidth requests. These Non Real Time Variable Bit Rate (NRT-VBR) services, such as file transfer and Internet access with a minimum guaranteed rate, are characterized by requirement for a guaranteed rate, but can tolerate longer delays and are rather insensitive to jitter.
Glossary PIU Power Interface Unit POTS Plain Old Telephone System. A basic analog telephone equipment. PSU Power Supply Unit PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards: PPP and Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to the Internet through a common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless device or cable modem.
