Any transmission of data that originates from the BSU is received by all SUs; whereas, the data originating from any of the SU is received only by the BSU.
Overview • Security and Surveillance: High definition IP-surveillance cameras for monitoring city streets, airports, bridges, seaports, transportation hubs, offices and warehouses. • Metropolitan Area Network: Secure and reliable connectivity between city buildings.
Overview • Enterprise Campus Connectivity: Extend the main network to remote offices, warehouses or other buildings without leased lines. • Wireless Intelligent Transport System (ITS): Increases the traffic efficiency and reduces the commuting time in cities and metropolitan areas.
Overview • Roaming: A mobile device (SU) provides seamless network services. • Offshore Communications: Establishes connectivity between seashore and the ships that are nearing the port locations, or connectivity between off-shore oil rigs and sea shore and so on.
Overview 1.2.2 Point-to-Point Link A point-to-point link is a dedicated wireless link that connects only two stations. With a point-to-point link, you can set up a connection between two locations as an alternative to: • • Leased lines in building-to-building connections Wired Ethernet backbones between wireless access points in difficult-to-wire environments. It is easy to set up a wireless point-to-point link as shown in the following figure.
Overview • Backhaul to a Central POP: Avoids expensive installation and recurring charge of a second wireline backhaul to a remote virtual POP. • Repeater: Extends distance or overcomes path blockage by adding point-to-point hops.
Overview • High-bandwidth Last Mile Access: Delivers Transparent LAN Services (TLS) to corporate parks. • High Availability and Link Aggregation: Achieves high availability and link aggregation in wireless medium by using two parallel links and additional Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) capable switches. This is applicable only to QB-8100-EPA/LNK, QB-8150-EPR/LNK, QB-8150-LNK-100 and QB-8200-LNK devices.

LACP - Device Management D Tsunami® QuickBridge devices that are part of the LACP link cannot be managed through the switches, so it is recommended to use the second Ethernet port for management. : • When using second Ethernet port for management, ensure to disable Auto Shutdown for Ethernet2. See Auto Shutdown). • STP/LACP Frames should be set to passthru.
LACP - Device Management In this example, we have considered a network with two QuickBridge links each supporting LACP mode. In this setup, VLAN is not configured on both LACP switches and devices. The Ethernet1 of all the devices is connected to the LACP port and is used for data transfer. To manage the devices, use a dedicated management Personal Computer per QuickBridge link. Use Ethernet2 port of the device to connect the Personal Computer.
E QinQ The Subscribers and End Point devices support QinQ VLAN feature that enables service providers to use a single VLAN ID to support multiple customer VLANs by encapsulating the 802.1Q VLAN tag within another 802.1Q frame.
QinQ • Device Management – From the BSU Ethernet side, the BSU/SU can be managed with a single VLAN tagged packet that matches the Management VLAN ID. – From the SU Ethernet side, only SU can be managed with a single VLAN tagged packet that matches the Management VLAN ID; BSU cannot be managed from the SU Ethernet side. : • • In a QuickBridge link, Q-in-Q should be enabled either on an End Point A or an End Point B. The user configurable TPID is only used in the Service Provider VLAN tag.
