Step 4. Align the Antenna
A. Verify that the Ethernet cable from the Interface Box to the Outdoor Unit is properly
connected.
B. If the PacketWave 200 has been pre-provisioned as described in Step 1, the Outdoor
Unit will begin beeping, indicating that it is in auto-alignment mode. (If beeping does
not occur, the PacketWave 200 has not been pre-provisioned, and you will need to
use the AIM to align the antenna as described in Chapter 5.)
C. Initially, the audio signal will alternate between a long beep and a long silence. The
beep is an audio indication of the strength of the signal being received from the base
station. As signal reception gets stronger, the beeps increase in pitch and frequency,
becoming a continuous tone when the signal is optimal.
D. Adjust the position of the ODU for the highest pitch and frequency of the beeping,
ideally finding a position which results in a continuous tone. Secure the ODU in that
position.
E. When the ODU receives a continuously strong signal for one minute (specifically,
when the signal-to-noise ratio is higher than 16 dB and the signal strength is greater
than -88 dB without varying by more than 2 dB for one minute), the PacketWave 200
will become operational with an audio tone similar to a telephone ringing.
F. If such a signal is not obtained, auto-alignment mode will last until power is removed,
and the PacketWave 200 will not become operational. Antenna alignment will have to
be performed using the Aperto Installation Manager as described in Chapter 4.
Step 5. Configure Subscriber Hosts
A. Connect the subscriber’s hub/switch or computer to the RJ-45 jack labeled LAN on the
Interface Box.
- Use a straight Ethernet cable for connection to a hub/switch or a crossover
Ethernet cable for connection directly to a computer.
B. The Subscriber Unit has a built-in DHCP server when it is in NAT or router mode
(PacketWave 120 and 130). The DHCP server is enabled by default and can support a
maximum of 100 users on the subscriber’s LAN. If the DHCP server will be used, con-
figure this feature using the Configuration Manager, and configure the host’s TCP/IP
to obtain its IP address using DHCP.
C. Alternatively, the host may be statically configured with an IP address, default gate-
way, and DNS server. If the Subscriber Unit is in bridge mode, the default gateway
could be the IP address of the Base Station’s Wireless Subsystem (WSS) that the Sub-
scriber Unit connects to. For a Subscriber Unit in NAT or router mode, the default gate-
way for the subscriber’s hosts is the Subscriber Unit’s LAN IP address.
NOTE: To fully remove a Subscriber Unit from deployment, the configuration file
must be removed from all TFTP servers. DHCP server must download configura-
tion information before it becomes operational. This is performed by TFTP proto-
