45 Mbps Backhaul User Guide
Issue 3, December 2004 Page 30 of 113
6 Web Page Reference
The web user interface has three main sections. The home page presents to the operator a high level summary of
the 45 Mbps Backhaul wireless link. The status page presents a more detailed set of system parameters
describing the performance of the wireless link together with other key system performance metrics. The final
section is the system administrator section. This section is password protected and allows the 45 Mbps Backhaul
administrator to perform all the day-to-day administrative procedures, e.g. Software Upgrade and perform
configuration changes.
The following subsections give a detailed usage guide for all the web user interfaces.
The navigation bar on the left hand side of the web page is used to move between the various management
pages. The currently selected page is always highlighted with a light yellow background. The menu is
hierarchical. Selecting any menu item which has associated submenu options will automatically display all sub
options. An example webpage with the navigation menu is shown in Figure 9 where the ‘Home’ link is
highlighted as the current page.
6.1 Home Page
The 45 Mbps Backhaul home page has been designed to display a high level summary of the status of the
wireless link and associated equipment. The home page (Figure 9) normally displays four key system attributes:
Wireless Link Status The Wireless Link Status attribute as the name suggests displays the current status of the
45 Mbps Backhaul wireless link. A state of ‘Up’ on a green background indicates that a Point-to-Point link is
established. A state of ‘Down’ on a red background indicates that the wireless link is not established. If the link
is down for an unknown reason the system administrator should first consult the status web page for a more
detailed summary of up to date system diagnostics.
Link Name The link name attribute is a name and/or handle allocated by the system administrator to aid the
identification of the unit, network or building.

Elapsed Time Indicator The elapsed time indicator attribute presents the total time in days, hours, minutes and
seconds since the last system restart. The system can restart for several reasons, e.g. commanded reboot from
the system reboot webpage, or a power cycle of the equipment.
