PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 3.5 Base Station Initial Configuration 3.5.1 System Architecture and Terminology In this section we will configure the minimal set of parameters that must be appropriately set prior to deployment. It is important to first clarify some terminology related to the system architectural model. In typical terminology, a Base Station is comprised of one or more co-located sectors.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 To perform the initial configuration of the Base Station, it is recommended to configure the Management Interface Parameters via accessing through the Base Station Console Port. To complete this section you will need the data in Table 10. If the management IP settings are "unknown" then the Base Station can only be accessed via its Console port (refer to section 3.3.1).
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Figure 40: Base Station CLI Time (3) To set the Management IP address, at the Quantum:quantum-bs(config) prompt type system interface ip address netmask e.g. system interface ip address 192.168.200.104 netmask 255.255.255.0 (4) To set the default Gateway at the Quantum:quantum-bs(config) prompt type system interface ip default-gateway e.g. system interface ip default-gateway 192.168.200.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 (8) Another useful command is the ability to change the default Quantum prompt. When the User is in the config mode, type system hostname (refer to Figure 42). The change must be written to memory and the Base Station has to be rebooted.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 change based upon specific operating conditions. All parameters will be described in the following sections. One point to make, is that in the context of the PureWave Quantum 6600, as this is a single sector Base Station, the terms “Sector” and “Base Station” are effectively synonymous. This fact is represented within the Web GUI Interface by the use of the number 1 at the appropriate menu option. The number 1 stands for Sector 1.

PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Figure 99: Subscriber CPE Delete 3.5.5 Subscriber CPE Client Profiles The process to create a QoS (Quality of Service) Client Profile on the Subscriber CPE is relatively straightforward. The basic concept flow diagram is detailed in Figure 100. Figure 100: Subscriber CPE Provisioning Flow Concepts The Service Profile system through the use of Client Profiles, create multiple data connections that suit the need of the Operator or Service Level Agreements.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Client Profiles are assigned to individual Subscriber CPE’s and within each client profile there is the ability to throttle throughput, and organize types of traffic into specific connection types. The use of ARQ/HARQ is also contained within this system. The Subscriber CPE Client Profile contains a Service Flow for both the uplink and the downlink directions.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Figure 101: Typical Best Effort Client Profile Figure 99 demonstrates a more complex but still typical "Voice and Data" type of application. In this example these is a VoIP Packet Classifier defined. This has been associated to an eRTPS Service Flow. Non Classifier packets have been set to a Best Effort Service Flow. Any packet that enters from the Network will be tested against the Classifier rules.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 By default the Base Station is pre-configured with a number of profiles for Classifier, HARQ, ARQ, QoS and Client.
