Data Flow


Data Routing

• Routers are connected to two or more networks– Router have two or more IP addresses

• Routers are gateways to networks• Routing tables provide instructions to the next

link in the network• EUM and CCU are routers

Installing the NAP and CAP


Pre-Install• Site preparation

– antenna/cable install• Lightning protection

– power– grounding

• After unpacking check for damage• NAP/CAP shipped wired and pre-configured

with defaults– Cables and tools


NAP and CAP Install• UPS

– Battery reconnect– Turn on UPS power switch– Three LED's indicating battery charge. Three is fully

charged.– Computer symbol (router/switch)LED green

• Verify rack/device cooling fans working• Verify switch POST results• Connect backhaulReference: APCD-LM010-A Chapter 2

CCU Verification

• Main power light ON • CCU should beep once after powered up• Network Interface Card link light ON• CCU cooling fan ON

\Reference: APCD-LM010-A

Bandwidth Management Functionality

• Based upon service levels associated by subscriber

• Controls bandwidth EUMs can utilize• Controlled by NAP router

SNMPc• Tool

– Alerts– Device statistics– Trends– Reporting– Device and system monitoring

• www.castlerock.com


SNMPc Server Configuration

• Configure SNMPc Server– Password, adding/discovering devices– Add SNMP Communities– Network Map

• Remember to update the SNMPc


Device and System Configuration

Reference: APCD-LM010-A Chapter 5 & 6

Component Configuration• Out of the box defaults• Configuration procedure

– Make changes then• Apply• Connect• Update• Disconnect• Link to

NAP Configuration• Confirm/change

– Router/switch/UPS IP’s and Destination Netmask• Device• Trap server

• Configuration Process– Create CCU in inventory as required– Apply, connect, update, disconnect– Link to


CAP Configuration

• Verify Switch/UPS defaults• Configuration Process

– Apply, connect, update, disconnect– Link to


CCU Configuration

• 2 or 4 CCUs in a CAP• Default configuration

– Radio/Ethernet IP Addresses– SNMP/RADIUS– Routing

• Password


EUM Configuration• Determine deployment details• Add and edit EUM properties in database

– Enable Radio • Update EUM device properties• Link to:

– CCU– Subscriber– Service Level

• Deploy


EUM Configuration 2• Connect to NAP/CAP switch• Confirm/Change

– Radio/Ethernet Parameters– IP Routing– SNMP– Subscriber

• Update device configuration• Change Ethernet IP address from default to subscriber


EUM Configuration 3• Save configuration to file• Create association with CCU• Add EUM to CCU Configuration (IP Route, EUM ID

and IP)• Add EUM route to NAP Router• ENABLE RADIO• Now ready for deployment


Deploy EUM

• Install/mount EUM in destination location• Attach antenna or 50 Ohm terminator• RADIO ENABLED


Device and System Testing• Test connectivity

– NAP/Internet– NAP/CAP– NAP/EUM

• EUM tests– Continuous receive– Continuous transmit– Loopback
