1. Introducing Intelligent Backhaul Radio (“IBR”)
1.1 Overview
IBR combines a Carrier Ethernet switch and an AnyLOS™ radio which can operate simultaneously in non-,
near-, and clear line of sight radio conditions. It is designed for small cell deployment in dense urban
environments where line of sight between radios is difficult or impossible to achieve.
IBR is small, passively-cooled, and environmentally protected for use mainly in macro-cellular backhaul,
commercial services fiber fill-in, and small cell backhaul applications. It can be mounted on masts, poles,
walls, cell towers, or in other such locations and requires little or no alignment when the radios are pointed in
the general direction of one another.
IBR external views are shown below.

NOTE: For safety reasons and regulatory compliance, IBR should be installed in a restricted access
location that is accessible only by authorized service personnel.
1.2 Factory-Set Host Name and IP Addresses
IBR will have the preset host name “IBR” when it is delivered. Host names can be changed by the user. The
host name will precede the command prompt as shown below.
IBR>
IBR may be accessed remotely over the network from telnet or SSH. The default IP address is
192.168.128.50 and the factory-set subnet mask is /24 or 255.255.255.0.
Throughout this Installation Guide, IBR is used as the host name in sample commands to illustrate how a host
name will appear in commands and responses.
