Independent Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning can possibly be used in the external gateway for both GE and FE rates.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide Use the following steps to configure the AdaptSwitch™ feature: After the equipment is installed, perform the following suggested steps to setup the AdaptSwitch™ function in an AR system: 1. In the ‘Setup’ page on both AR Radios, set the Radio Link State Propagation selection to ‘Enable (AdaptSwitch)’: 2.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 4.7.1 In-Band (Default) This option allows for management of each radio terminal through the copper, fiber, and/or radio interface. When the ‘Access Control’ parameter on the ‘Setup’ page is configured for In-Band the internal switch places the copper, fiber and radio interfaces onto the same internal VLAN. This effectively places the copper port into the same broadcast domain (LAN segment) as the fiber and radio interfaces.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide When the ‘Access Control’ parameter on the ‘Setup’ page is configured for Out-Band (Copper Management Only), the internal switch isolates the copper interface from the fiber and radio interfaces by placing it into a separate port based VLAN. This effectively places the copper port into its own broadcast domain (LAN segment). Figure 4-4 provides a logical diagram of the internal switch when Copper Out-Band is selected.

BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 5.2.1 Receive and Transmit Good Octets: An octet is a sequence of eight bits. Since a byte is not eight bits in all computer systems, octet provides an unambiguous term. . When a packet is in error, none of the octets are counted as “good”. Total good packets: Total number of packets without errors received. For the transmit direction this is expressed as total packets sent, since only good packets are sent.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide CRC errors: Short for Cyclic Redundancy Check, CRC is a method of detecting errors in data transmission. A CRC is control information sent with a block of data that when received can be used to verify that all data was received correctly. CRC errors typically indicate physical defects in fiber or copper cabling, or poor receive signal quality on a radio link.

BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 7 User Accounts & Passwords The management agent supports two types of users, with varying capabilities. The Administrator (username=’admin’) may view status and statistics, view/modify unit configuration, and perform maintenance functions (including software update). The User (username=’user’) may view status, configuration, and statistics, but is prevented from modifying unit configuration or performing maintenance functions.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 7.1 User Permits read only capability such as viewing of unit status, configuration parameters and statistics. Does not permit modification of any parameter, setting passwords or performing maintenance functions. A history of the last 15 passwords is maintained to prevent password reuse. The user password can be set or reset by the administrator.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide Password: The password is case-sensitive, may contain letters, numbers, and special characters, and can have a maximum of 15 alphanumeric characters. If the ‘Minimum Password Length’ option is enabled under the ‘Enhanced Security’ section then the password must contain 10 or more characters. Confirm Password: Repeat the same password to validate.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide For security reasons, the administrator should only enable factory access for the time of active access by BridgeWave factory service personnel. A power cycle or ‘Hard Restart’ will automatically change the factory access to disabled. 7.4 Communities Read and write community strings are used for permitting SNMP management access. The Community strings are case-sensitive and can have 0-12 characters comprised of numbers, letters, or special characters.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 7.5 Enhanced Security Permits password security configuration option to expire the password in the range of 0-9999 hours. If the value is set to zero, the password is maintained indefinitely. Permits password security configuration option to set the minimum password length to 10 characters minimum. Disabled allows any length password. The maximum password length allowed is 15 characters. Permits password security configuration option to allow or not allow password reuse.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 8 RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) standard (RFC 2865) allows for remote and centralized user administration, authentication and authorization of the BridgeWave Radio user names and passwords when the radios are embedded in a network environment. When RADIUS is enabled in the BridgeWave radio and a user attempts to login to the radio, the radio will send the authentication request to the specified RADIUS server.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide Figure 8-1: RADIUS Setup Page One possible safe approach to take is to first enable RADIUS and allow local user login access. Now open a new browser window and login with a username and password provided by the RADIUS server. When the login through the RADIUS server is successful, it is safe to re-enable RADIUS in the radio, disallowing local user access.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 9 Configuration File Management A copy of the unit’s configuration can be saved to an external file. The file is saved in an .ini format and can be viewed with a text editor. 9.1 Backing Up a Configuration Use the following steps to perform a backup of the unit configuration. 1. Select the ‘Maintenance’ tab from the web browser interface of the unit. 2. Select the ‘Backup’ option from the ‘Config’ section of the ‘Maintenance’ screen. 3.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide Care should be taken during the editing process to not disturb any other characters other than what is typed between the quotation marks Care should also be taken when saving the file to keep the .ini extension intact. This is done by selecting “all files as the save type and making sure that the filename has .ini at the end of the filename. 9.3 Restoring a Configuration Use the following steps to restore the unit configuration from a backup .ini file. 1.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 10 Upgrading Software 10.1 Determining Versions The ‘Versions’ section on the ‘Maintenance’ page of the web interface, shown in Figure 10-1, displays a detailed inventory of a unit’s hardware and software components.

BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide Figure 10-2 File Upload Success Page If no indication or a failure message is received after ten minutes, please verify the file name and retry the upload. If the failure repeats, please re-upload the file from the BridgeWave website and retry. If the failure still repeats, please contact customer service. 6. After receiving a ‘File Upload Success’ perform a ‘Soft Restart’ from the ‘Maintenance’ page of the web interface.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide When upgrading the MCU_AES-xx-xx-xx.cat file of a remote radio over the wireless interface, the link traffic may drop while the file is being burned to flash. This can cause the ‘File Upload Success’ message to not be received by the upgrade PC at the local end. If a success message is not received after waiting 15 minutes reconnect to the remote radios web interface and verify the new MCU version is displayed before proceeding with the remaining steps. 8.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 11 System Restarts The following types of restarts can be performed on the unit from the ‘Maintenance’ page of the web management interface: Soft Restart – Performs a soft restart of the unit. This will activate the latest changes submitted from the Setup page. If no changes have been made it will maintain the current configuration settings. A restart will not stop data transfer, but will make the management agent inaccessible for approximately 140 seconds.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 12 Product Upgrades by Request 12.1 Introduction Currently, end customers may request license upgrades for the following: - Upgrade the rate in BW systems Upgrade FE60U or FE80U to full AR System. Upgrade 60 and 80, non-AES version to NMS SSL security. Upgrade SLE100 to AES encryption. Upgrade AR60 or AR80 to AdaptSwitch functionality. Extend the Upgrade/Downgrade time periods It is highly recommended that the customer upgrade to at least 3.0.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide Figure 12-1 Request License Upgrade File 4. This file must then be emailed to BridgeWave after purchasing an upgrade. 5. Once the upgrade has been purchased, BridgeWave will email a license file that must be uploaded to both radios or just the High-Band unit. Save this file to a known location.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 13 AES Encryption Feature The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) feature provides a method for securing the data traffic traveling across the radio link by encrypting the information. The AES feature and the associated procedures in this section only apply to BridgeWave products that include the “-AES” designator in the model number. Example: AR80X-AES In cryptography, AES is a block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the U.S. government.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 13.1 AES Setup Use the following procedure to configure and enable AES encryption: AES setup requires secure management to be enabled. This can be verified in the ‘IP Setup’ page as shown: 1. AES should only be configured after proper installation has been completed and an unencrypted link has been established and validated. Confirm you are working with a fully operational link. 2.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide Click on the ‘AES’ tab to refresh the page until the buttons are no longer grayed out. Do not hit the browser ‘Refresh’ option to update the page. This will cause the key to resave and the buttons will continue to be grayed out. Please be patient. It may take up to 4 minutes for the 256 key data to be written to the radio memory. The buttons on the AES page will be grayed out during this process. 4.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide If connectivity across the link cannot be established after enabling encryption, check the ‘Packets Received’ field under the ‘Radio Interface’ section of the ‘Status’ tab. If errors are displayed followed by the ‘Check AES setup’ message, shown below, the keys are most likely mismatched and should be reentered into both local and remote units.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 14 SysLog SysLog is a communications protocol as well as program applications used for forwarding, storing and processing log messages in a heterogeneous IP network SysLog is based on standards RFC 3164 and RFC 3195 The Syslog protocol is a client-server type protocol. The Syslog sender, in this case, the BridgeWave radio, may be enabled to send small textual messages to the Syslog server program.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 14.2 Local Syslog Message Display As shown in Figure 14-1, Local Syslog Message display, ‘Up Time, ‘Severity’, ‘Source’ and ‘Message’ information is presented for the operator.

BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 14.4 NTP Setup for SysLog Time Stamping SNTP stands for Simple Network Time Protocol which is a client/server based protocol that allows a network device (client) to obtain time and date information from an SNTP server over an IP based network. By default the Syslog events are stamped with the system uptime of the unit. To mark the SysLog events with a time and date value the SNTP capability must be configured and enabled.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 8. The management access will be lost for approximately 3 minutes. Upon regaining access, confirm that the ‘Current Date/Time’ parameter is reading the correct value.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 15 Default Recovery (Hard Reset) If the unit’s Administrator password or IP configuration is forgotten, it will be necessary to perform a hard reset to return these parameters to the factory default values. Only the Administrator/User/Factory passwords, IP configuration, and Management Access parameters will be reset to default values. All other parameters will remain in their currently configured state.
BW64 & BW64EConfiguration Guide 2. Cut off one end of the Ethernet patch cable and then strip the jacket from the two wires that belong to pins 3 and 6. These are typically the wires from either the orange/white-orange or green/white-green pairs, but this is not guaranteed to be the case. 3. Connect the two wires from pins 3 and 6 together to make a short. All other wires must be left un-terminated. 4. Use this hard reset cable as a substitute for the hard reset box and Ethernet cable.
