Subscriber equipment is provisioned using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager,
as described in the PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit Installation, Configuration,
and Operation manual. On boot-up, the indoor unit downloads its configuration from
the base station’s TFTP server. At the same time, it downloads address and host infor-
mation from the base station’s DHCP server.
The PacketWave 100 Series subscriber equipment includes the following management
software:
• CPE Installation Tool — See addendum on antenna alignment procedure
• Web GUI — Each Indoor Unit includes a graphical user interface (GUI) which
can be accessed via a standard Web browser, either directly or through the Base
Station Unit’s Web GUI. Direct access to the Web GUI is available to the ser-
vice providers and can be made available to subscribers as well. Use of the Web
GUI is described in Chapter 7.
• SNMP Agent — Each Indoor Unit includes an SNMP agent which can be
accessed via a standard SNMP manager, either directly or through the Base
Station Unit’s proxy agent. SNMP capability is described in Chapter 7.
• Command Line Interface — A limited command line interface (CLI) to the
Indoor Unit can be accessed via telnet. Use of the CLI is described in Chapter 7.
PacketWave Indoor Units also include servers and other networking functionality:
• DHCP Server — PacketWave 130 Indoor Units include a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for local address management.
• DHCP Relay Agent — PacketWave 130 Indoor Units include a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay agent for passing DHCP communications
to the Base Station Unit.
• NAT Server — PacketWave 130 Indoor Units include a built-in NAT (Network
