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. Verify radio installation by viewing the Status page:

1. All unit, radio and copper indicators are green on Status page (unless

one or more of the network interface ports is not connected)

2. RSL value should match expected value from the distance chart in the

corresponding installation manual (assuming that the physical

installation and alignment have already been completed).

3. Go to the Setup page and set IP address, mask and gateway to the values provided

by the network administrator. If the final IP address values are not known, leave

the radio units at default.

4. On the Setup page, configure the fiber interface auto negotiation to match the port

settings of your network equipment. Verify settings by checking that all indicators

on the Status page are green.

5. On the Setup page, set Installation Auto-Calibration to disabled (assuming that the

physical installation and alignment have already been completed).

6. On the Setup page, set Link State Propagation to disabled. If this link is to be part

of a redundant path connection, see manual section 4.3 for further instructions.

7. On the Setup page, select which interfaces may exchange data packets with the

management agent. Normally all interfaces should be checked for links used as

part of a private network, however if used to provide public network services, it

may be desirable to limit access to a subset of interfaces for security purposes.

8. Click the Submit button at the bottom of the Setup page. Note that the new setting

will not become effective until the unit is restarted (in Step 10 below).

9. On the password page, set administrator and user passwords and SNMP

community strings (each password set has its own submit button). Password

changes take effect immediately after submitting them. Verify password by

logging out and back in. Note that the administrator username is ‘admin’ and the

username is ‘user’. Normally, factory access should be set to disabled.

10. Print setup, status and maintenance pages and note new passwords.
