a. system interface ip address <new device ip> netmask <new device subnet mask>
default-gateway <new device gateway>
b. system interface mgmt-vlan vlan-enabled true vlan-id <new vlan>
This will change the IP address and VLAN immediately. It is recommended to make this
change via the Console connection, so you don’t lose access to the device.
c. write memory
6. Once changes have been committed you will have to change your Ethernet adapter information
and SSH to the new Management IP address and VLAN (if applicable) you just entered.
7. Enter configuration mode configure
8. Type “sector advanced 1” to begin sector configuration then type the below commands
a. wimax max-uplink-rate QAM64_5/6
b. wimax max-downlink-rate QAM64_5/6
c. wimax antenna-tx-mode MIMO-AB
d. wimax auto-power-control open-loop
e. wimax channel-bw 10MHz
f. wimax dl-ul-frame-ratio 26:21
i. Options: 26:21, 29:18, 32:15, 35:12
g. Radio antenna-gain <applicable antenna gain>
h. Radio cable loss <applicable cable loss>
9. sector general 1 system ip address <IP address> netmask <netmask> gateway <gateway>
10. ctrl c
11. write memory
The Quantum 6636 should now be configured for management access on your network. This will be
required for the device to communicate with the Domain Proxy. Refer to section 3.6 of this guide for
additional configuration options.
4.3 External Antennas
For operations under Part 96, the Quantum 6636 can only be used in conjunction with the Mercury
Networks 3.5GHz 2-Port Antenna (098-00459-0035) in a sectorized and cross-polarized configuration, or
the Mercury Networks 3.5GHz 6-port Panel Antenna (099-00455-003).
The following sections provide additional guidance for permissible antenna types and configurations for
operations under Part 96. Be advised the conducted transmit power of the Quantum 6636 may need to
be reduced to ensure the regulatory limit on transmitter EIRP is not exceeded. The installer must
understand how to compute the effective antenna gain from the actual antenna gain and the feeder cable
losses.
The range of permissible values for maximum antenna gain and feeder cable losses are taken into
consideration with the domain proxy, and calculations are performed to ensure that it is not possible for
the installation to exceed the EIRP limit, when the appropriate values for antenna gain and cable feeder
loss are entered into the domain proxy GUI. The Quantum 6600 platform adheres to all applicable EIRP
limits for transmit power when operating in MIMO mode.
