TM Network Management Manual Setting Up a BridgeWave NMS Link in 11 Easy Steps 1. Set computer Ethernet interface to 192.168.0.10 and Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 then connect the computer to the unit’s copper or fiber network interface (directly or through a switch). Enter the unit’s default IP address (High Band: http://192.168.0.2 ; Low Band http://192.168.0.1 into the Internet Explorer or Firefox address window. Log on as user ‘admin’ with the password ‘adminpass’. 2.
TM Network Management Manual 11. Restart the unit from the Maintenance page or power-cycle the unit to make the new Setup page settings take effect. Note that if the end user does not want to use the management agent functions, perform steps 1 and 2 then, on the Setup page, restrict management access to the copper interface only and set installation auto calibration to disabled, restart the unit from Maintenance page, and leave the copper port disconnected.
TM Network Management Manual Fiber Internal BridgeWave Switch Radio Copper Fiber Interface: 1000Base-SX, configurable for auto-negotiation enabled or disabled Copper interface: 10/100Base-T, auto-negotiating, auto-cross-over cable detection Radio interface: 100Mbps (FE60, FE60X) 1000Mbps (GE60, GE60X) 100/1000Mbps (AR60, AR60X) 1.

TM Network Management Manual 3.1 Unit Model/Serial: The model and serial number identify the unit and are required for any interaction with BridgeWave customer support. Transmit Radio Band: Indicates the frequency band of the radio’s transmitter. A link consists of one low-band and one high-band radio.
TM Network Management Manual Transmitter temp: Temperature of the radio transmitter o Green: o Yellow: within specification (-20oC to 75oC) (-4F to 167F) at operating limit Packets received: Number of packets received by the radio interface since last refresh of the management interface from any active user session o Green: o Yellow: no packet errors since last refresh one or more packet errors since last refresh Link Utilization: Percentage of total link capacity in use.
TM Network Management Manual 4. Setup Page On the Setup page you can view or configure the radio interface, fiber network interface and management agent settings. The page is split into two separate parts with the left site of the page allowing for changes to the configuration and the right side of the page displaying the currently effective values. Current active values are displayed in red once new values have been submitted, pending a system restart.

TM Network Management Manual 4.1 AdaptRate (AR products only) The operation mode of the AR60(X) and AR80 product can be set to automatically switch between 1000 and 100Mbps depending on the receive level of the radio. This is the default setting for the radio, but it is also possible to force an AR radio to be fixed to 1000 or 100Mbps. This field is present only for AR60(X) and AR80 models. 4.2 Installation auto-calibration Installation auto-calibration is enabled as the factory default.
TM Network Management Manual DHCP server. Un-checking the box disables the DHCP function. Subnet mask: The subnet mask can be configured by picking the desired value from the pull-down menu. Default Gateway: Sets the default gateway address for this radio. Use ‘0.0.0.0’ if no default gateway is to be used. 4.4 Link State Propagation Enable or disable Link State Propagation (LSP).
TM Network Management Manual Load Defaults: Displays the factory default settings in the data entry fields of the page. These settings will only become active if the submit new values button is then clicked, followed by a system restart. Submit New Values: Submits changes to memory. Any changes made without clicking this button will be lost upon leaving the Setup web page. In order to activate any submitted changes from the Setup page, the unit must be restarted or power cycled. 5.

TM Network Management Manual 5.1 User Permits viewing of unit status, configuration parameters and statistics. Does not permit modification of any parameter, setting passwords or performing maintenance functions. The user password can be set and recovered by the administrator. The factory default user name password combination is: user/userpass Password: The password is case-sensitive and can have 0 to 16 alphanumeric characters.
TM Network Management Manual 5.3 Communities Communities: The community strings is case-sensitive and can have 0-16 alphanumeric characters. Permits SNMP Manager to access unit using community strings. The default community strings are as follows: Read Only: public Read Write: private CAUTION! As part of the initial setup, if you do not intend to utilize the SNMP function, it is good practice to change the community strings to non-default values. This will prevent users from accessing the SNMP agent.

TM Network Management Manual 6.1 Receive & 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. 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. Unicast: Total number of unicast packets. Unicast packets are packets addressed to a single host on a LAN.
TM Network Management Manual CRC errors: Short for Cyclic Redundancy Check, CRC is a method of detecting errors in data transmission. A CRC is data that is 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.

TM Network Management Manual 10. Factory (Hard) Reset If the unit’s Administrator password or IP configuration is forgotten, it will be necessary to perform a hard reset to return the unit to its factory default configuration before you can re-connect with the unit’s network management web pages. In order to reset the unit to factory configuration, it is required to have physical access to the unit’s copper data port (RJ-45 jack) or cable and the unit’s power cable.
