6.10 PathPredictionTools
PathPredictionToolsareusefulfornon‐line‐of‐site,near‐line‐of‐site,andline‐of‐sitelinks.Fastbackdoesnot
recommendonepathpredictiontooloveranother;however,Fastbackiscommittedtoworkingwithvendors
ofpathpredictionproductstomaximizetheaccuracyofpredictedpathsforIBR.Fastbackhasworkedwith
thefollowingvendorstomaximizeaccuracy:

7. Features&Functionality
7.1 AnyLOSTechnology
Fastback’sproprietaryAnyLOStechnologyenablesoperatorstouseIBRindifficultRFenvironmentswithout
worryingaboutRFtuning.IBRwillautomaticallyadjustthefollowingparameterstomaximizethroughput:
 Channelbandwidth‐either10,19,or38MHz.
 Centerfrequency.
 Antennacombination‐IBRhaseight(8)internalantennasandwillautomaticallyselectthebestfour
forthelinkbeingestablished.
 ModulationCodingScheme(MCS)–MCScanbeanyvaluefrom1–10.
 Transmitteroutputpower‐IBRwilladjustthetransmitteroutputpowerautomaticallytoavoid
exceedingemissionsrequirements.IBRtakesoutputpowerintoaccountwhenestimatingthe
bandwidthavailableonanygivenfrequency.Thefrequencyvs.outputpowerrelationshipisshownin
theCLIGuide.
Theoperatorcannotmanuallyconfiguretheseradioparameters,butcanviewthesettingsusingCLI,SNMP,
ortheGUIasfollows:
 CLIcommand:IBR102#showinterfacesradio0status
 GUI:Monitor,Radio,Status
 SNMP:FBN‐RADIO‐MIB
7.2 CommunicationProtocols
IBRcanbemanagedbyanoperatorusing:
 CLI:SSH,Telnet,SerialConsole
 SNMP
7.3 SoftwareManagement
 SoftwareupgradestoIBRcanbemadebyanoperator.
 BootloaderrecoverycanbeaccomplishedbyanoperatorviaCLI.
 IBRhastheabilitytorecoveronitsownfromafailedsoftwareupgrade.
 Add‐onlicensestoincreasetheavailablethroughputofIBRcanbedownloadedusingtheGUI.For
additionalinformation,seetheCLIGuide.
