Chapter 2. Overview
Management, Configuration, and Diagnostics
The PacketWave 200 includes a number of features which provide management,
configuration, and diagnostic functions. They range from LEDs to a Web-based graphical
user interface, and include:
• LEDs — LED indicators on the Outdoor Unit and Interface Box show status of the
LAN and wireless interfaces as well as power to the unit.
• Audio Auto-Alignment - Simplifies antenna.
• Installation Manager — This utility initializes newly-installed subscriber equip-
ment and allows antenna alignment for optimal wireless communication. Use of
the Installation Manager is described in Chapter 5.
• Web GUI — Each PacketWave 200 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. Use of the Web GUI for configuration, status, and perfor-
mance monitoring is described in Chapter 6.
• SNMP Agent — Each PacketWave 200 includes an SNMP agent which can be
accessed via a standard SNMP manager, either directly or through the Base Station
Unit’s proxy agent.
• Diagnostic Manager — This utility provides diagnostic testing of the subscriber
equipment. Use of the Diagnostic Manager is described in Appendix C.
• Command Line Interface — For basic diagnostics, a limited command line interface
(CLI) to the PacketWave 200 can be accessed via telnet. Use of the CLI is described
in Appendix D.
SU Configuration
SU configuration can be done in server mode or in local mode:
• In local mode, the SU’s configuration is performed using the Aperto Installation
Manager (AIM). No configuration file is downloaded from the BSU’s TFTP server.
• In server mode, subscriber equipment is provisioned using the WaveCenter Config-
uration Manager, as described in the
PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit Installa-
tion, Configuration, and Operation
manual. On boot-up, after getting address and
file information from its assigned DHCP server, the PacketWave 200 downloads its
configuration file from the base station’s TFTP server.
Some configuration of the PacketWave 200 can be performed via the Web GUI and SNMP.
If desired, these configuration changes can be made permanent by uploading them to the
SU configuration file on the TFTP server. (If configuration changes are made via the Web
GUI or SNMP but not uploaded, they will be lost when the PacketWave 200 is reset or re-
powered.) Uploading configuration changes made via the Web GUI or SNMP is a conve-
nient way to modify the configuration file of an in-service PacketWave 200.
Configuration uploads from the Web GUI and SNMP require that the TFTP server be
configured to accept uploads.
