Appendix 1

Network Implementing
1. Principle of IP Address Planning
IP address of ZXMW-PR10 includes two parts: Q interface and Radio interface. Principles below
must be followed in IP address planning.
A)

Choose an appropriate sub network based on network capacity, IP address of ZXMW-PR10


can be set free in the planned sub network.
Recommend to use private sub network of class C: 192.168.0.0/16. Set IP address and
mask to choose the useable sub network. Particular explanations below:

If network capacity 254 hops, recommend to use sub network: 192.168.1.0/24


~192.168.255.255 /24
/24 stand for sub network mask is 255.255.255.0
IP address: 192.168.1.0. 192.168.1 stand for sub network identifier, 0 stand for host identifier
Network above has 255 sub networks and 255x256 IP addresses. For example: sub network:
192.168.1~192.168.255, up to 255. IP address in each sub network: 192.168.1.0~192.168.1.255,
up to 256.
If 510 network capacity 254 hops, recommend to use sub network: 192.168.1.0/25
~192.168.255.255/25
/25 stand for sub network mask is 255.255.255.128
Sub network: 192.168.1.0/25~192.168.1.255/25 can be divided into 2 sub networks. One is
192.168.1.0/25~192.168.1.127/25, the other is 192.168.1.128/25~192.168.1.255/25
So that, there are 255x2 sub
192.168.1.0/25~192.168.255.255/25.

networks

and

255x128

IP

addresses

in

If 1020 network capacity 511 hops, change mask into /26; If 2040 network capacity
1021 hops, change mask into /27
B)

C)

Define the IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.1 in each sub network (such as 192.168.1.1,


192.168.255.1 and so on) as the address of ZXMW-EMS server, they can not be used for
NE. And IP address with all 0 and all 1 host identifier can not be used either, they stand
for network and broadcast address in each sub network.
In one program, each IP address can only be used once

D)

Q Interface and Radio Interface IP address of one NE must be set in the same sub network.
Usually, set the IP address of the Radio Interface as the host identifier of Q Interface plus 1.
(For example : NEs Q Interface is 192.168.10.2/24, its Radio Interface should be
192.168.10.3/24

E)

In one station, IP addresses of the equipments should be set in the same sub network, and
all the Q interfaces of IDUs should be linked with standard network cables. As show in
Figure 69 and Figure 70 , equipments in one red pane stand for the same station

F)

IP addresses of the equipments in different stations can not be set in the same sub
networks

Appendix 2
Network Configuration
ZXMW PR10 supports two topologies: chain and star. Network configuration includes IP address
and IP routing two parts, and this text gives an example to explain how to configure network of
ZXMW PR10.

1. IP Address Configuration
IP address configuration includes two parts: Q interface and Radio interface. For ZXMW PR10
equipment, Q interface IP and radio interface IP must be in same sub network. For example, if Q
IP address is set as 172.16.34.3 with mask 255.255.248.0, then Radio IP address should be
172.16.32.1~172.16.39.254 with mask 255.255.248.0.

1.1 Q Interface IP Address


In PDH WEB CIT, you can configure Radio IP address.
A)

Menu Path: Configuration > TCP/IP Config > Q Interface

B)

As shown in Figure 71, configure the IP address and the IP mask of Q Interface, and
then click Apply

C) Set the Status of DHCP Interface as enabled


D) After the configuration of Q Interface IP address, the equipment should be rebooted

Figure 71 Q interface IP address Configuration

36

1.2 Radio Interface IP Address


In PDH WEB CIT, you can configure Radio IP address.
A) Menu Path: Configuration > TCP/IP Config > Radio Interface
B) As shown in Figure 72, configure the IP address and the IP mask of Radio Interface, and then
click Apply
C) Remote IP Address shows Radio Interface IP address of another side

Figure 72 Radio interface IP address

37

2. IP Routing Configuration
ZXMW PR10 not only supports OSPF, but also supports static routing.

2.1 OSPF Configuration


If the equipment which is connected to ZXMW PR10 also supports OSPF, ZXMW PR10 will auto
address to the equipment rather than configuring static routing, when OSPF is enabled in PDH
WEB CIT.
In PDH WEB CIT, click Configuration->IP Routing->OSPF, you can enable or disable OSPF. AS
shown in Figure 73

Figure 73 OSPF Configuration

38

2.2 Static Routing


If the equipment which is connected to ZXMW PR10 doesnt support OSPF, we need to configure
static routing for ZXMW PR10.
In PDH WEB CIT, click Configuration->IP Routing-> STATIC Routing, you can configure
default gateway, add or delete static routing. As shown in Figure 74

Figure 74 Static Routing Configuration

39

3. Example
Figure 75 displays an example for network configuration. The network includes five Stations,
Station1 has two ZXMW PR10 equipments, Station3 has three ZXMW PR10 equipments, other
three Stations have one ZXMW PR10 equipment each, and IP addresses of every equipment are
shown in Table 8

Note: Network Management here means PDH WEB CIT.

According to the figures and tables above, we have two principles to follow when configuring IP
address for ZXMW PR10:
All IP addresses including Q interface IP address and Radio interface IP address in same station
must be in same sub network.
IP address in Different station must be in different sub network.

3.1 OSPF
Enable OSPF of ZXMW PR10 according to Figure 73. Any equipment in the network can address
to any other equipment, and PDH WEB CIT can visit all equipments in the network.

3.2 Static Routing


As mentioned in Figure 74. If the equipment which is connected to ZXMW PR10 doesnt support
OSPF, we need to configure static routing for ZXMW PR10. In the network, we will simulate this
situation by disabling OSPF.
In order to realize communication between any equipment in this situation, we need to configure
static routing as below in Table 9.

3.2.1 Default Gateway


According to Table 9~
Table 16, we need to configure 32 static routings to realize communication between 8 ZXMW
PR10 equipments of 5 stations in a network. It is a heavy work. In order to reduce work, we can
configure default gateway while configuring static routing.
In Figure 74, Default Router is used for configuring default gateway. Default gateway can be
configured as required to make it least. As shown in Tables below.
