Phy-Buffer-Scheduler Two profiles of air interface scheduler are available, introduced in SW release 2.3.0: • Default profile – the profile that systems running SW release 2.2.1 or higher the only profile available with SW versions prior to MH R2.3.0 • Profile-2 – the profile that was used by systems with SW 2.2.0 or earlier.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual sending it toward the RG over the Ethernet port. The DHCP request may also be assigned a VLAN different from the VLAN of the user traffic, if provisioned. To use DHCP Option 82, you will have to enable it on the TU or BU, on the Ethernet po rt assigned to the subscriber (eth1 , 2 or 3) and then configure the parameters that the DHCP server on the network expects.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 5 Diagnostics The MultiHaul™ system’s highly reliable and easy-to-use radio link features a wide range of built-in indicators and diagnostic tools designed to enable you to quickly evaluate a link’s performance, identify operating faults, and resolve them.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Step 3: Isolate the Fault Further isolate and characterize the problem using all available link indications.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual You can ping it or connect to the BU and see that the TU is connected. You should also check on the BU that the YU is connected (show remote-terminal-unit). If TU is not connected, then obviously no service. 2. If no internet, check that the customer is physically connected to the TU (check the active alarms to see that the port is up and connected). 3. Check the log file for disconnection events.

MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Use system alarms as well as statistic displays to determine if Loopback testing has passed or failed. Loopbacks can be applied with a timeout (up to 24 hours). When timeout expires, the loopback will be removed. 5.4.1 Loopback Diagram Figure 5-1 Loopbacks Diagram Internal user management and external Radius or TACACS server are supported. 5.4.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Figure 5-2 Ethernet Line Loopback Internal Line Loopback An Internal loop returns the traffic to be transmitted out of the line port to the bridge. From the bridge the traffic is transmitted over the radio. Connect the Ethernet traffic from the Customer’s end-equipment or Ethernet analyzer to the local radio and apply line loopback on remote radio for end-to-end testing.
MultiHaul™ Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual Connect the Ethernet traffic from the Customer’s end-equipment or Ethernet analyzer to the local radio and apply radio loopback on local radio for local testing. This will allow you to test the connection (cable/fiber) to the local radio, the interface between endequipment and the local system and the local radio. 5.5 Statistics The performance statistics tab is available on each page and gathered on the Statistics page. 5.5.
