CHAPTER 7.
CHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP • TFTP Server — The server from which the Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units download configuration files. • SNTP Server — A Simple Network Time Protocol server is recommended for synchronizing the PacketWave Base Station Unit’s date and time with other systems on the network. (If there is no SNTP server, the Base Station Unit’s date and time must be set via the Web interface.) NOTE: Subscriber Indoor Units obtain the date and time from the BSU.
CHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP Preparing the TFTP Server The PacketWave System uses the TFTP server for storing files and downloading them to Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units on request. Any third-party or public domain TFTP server may be used. Ensure that configuration files for all Base Station Units and subscriber Indoor Units are stored in the default directory (typically \tftpboot) of the TFTP server, and that the TFTP server is running.
CHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP SYSTEM START-UP Once all of the configuration files have been created, start the PacketWave System by performing the following steps: 1. Verify that all of the configuration files have been saved in the default directory on the TFTP server. 2. Verify that the TFTP server is running and accessible. 3. Verify that the DHCP server has been configured for network addresses and for all BSUs and subscribers. 4. Verify that the DHCP server is running and accessible.
CHAPTER 7. NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND START-UP OTHER CONFIGURATION METHODS Only configuration changes made using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager affect the PacketWave System’s configuration data base. A limited set of configuration changes can be made in real time via the Web and SNMP interfaces, but such changes are not permanently stored.
8 M ANAGEMENT I NTERFACES The PacketWave system supports real-time monitoring and limited “on-the-fly” configuration changes via a Web-browser-accessed Graphical User Interface (GUI) and SNMP. There is also a simple command line interface (CLI) for basic troubleshooting and debugging. W EB I NTERFACE (GUI) Each Base Station Unit and Subscriber Unit includes a Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) which runs on a standard Web browser (Netscape 4.74 or higher, or Internet Explorer 5.0).
C HA PTER 8. M AN AGEMENT I NTERF ACES Accessing the Web Interface To access the graphical user interface: 1. Establish a connection and open your Web browser. 2. Enter the URL, http:///bsc.htm. 3. Respond to the user name prompt with Aperto and to the password prompt with Aperto. NOTE: The user name and password are case-sensitive, so be sure to capitalize the A in Aperto. 4. If the browser prompts that it needs to load a plug-in, allow it to do so. 5.
