Radio Frequency
• Duplexing – Select FDD or TDD mode
• TDD- upstream and downstream on same channel
• FDD- upstream and downstream on different channels
• Channel – Select the operating channel
• Regulation - Current regulation of the unit (FCC / ETSI / Other / etc).
• Band – Change the band of operation (5.2 / 5.4 / 5.8 GHz).
Changing a band may also impact:
• DFS configuration (according to regulation)
• Tx power (according to regulation)
• Mark all channels in SU scan list.
• Channel BW – WipAir 8000 3.5/5/10/14/20/28/40/50 MHz.
– WipAir ACE 5/1020/40/80 MHz.
• Fix /Auto – SU only
• Auto allows the SU to scan for MU in other bands and BW after 3 minutes offline
• Diversity - Configure Antenna diversity mode:
• On – units transmits redundant data on both paths
• Off – units transmits different data on each path
• Auto – diversity configuration is dynamic and automatic. If the difference between the
radio paths is > 10 dB, diversity change to “On”.

Advanced
• Unit Type – switch unit type between MU & SU and vice versa.
• Unit Mode – Define the system operational mode (MU only):
• PTP – Point-to-Point bridge mode that maximizes PPS. This mode is recommended for
high capacity backhauls.

Radio Tab

ACS – Automatic Channel Selection

Enable/disable Automatic Channel Selection (MU only).

Initial scan :
on power up, the MU scans the spectrum (RF analyzer) and selects the channel with lowest
noise level at the MU side.

Online operation:
During operation the unit will automatically change
to one of the channels that is selected in the channel list,
if predefine threshold reaches the lower modulation limit
for more than 30 sec.

Re-activate ACS manually –

“Perform ACS” button will immediately repeat the initial scan.

Note: manual channel selection is not possible when ACS is active.

Radio Tab

ATPC – Automatic Transmit Power Control

ATPC automatically reduces the TX power of the SUs to a pre-defined level ATPC Power level.

Enable/disable 128-bit AES.
Note: the pre-shared key must be identical for the MU
and SU.
Radio Tab

1+1 Ethernet

WipAir links in 1+1 Ethernet configuration operate in hot

standby mode:
• One link is active.
• Second link is inactive (standby). As such, both links may be
configured to operate on same RF channel, saving valuable RF
spectrum.
• When failure is detected in the active link, the backup link
automatically becomes online (automatic detection of less than
50ms).
• Make sure that S-IDU has the proper 1+1 licnce and backup
ethernet is enabled in both SIDUs and Radios
This mode supports SIDUs with TDM and will backup both
Ethernet and TDM traffic (in such case, SIDUs should be
configured as master/slave and NOT received
configuration from ODU)
1+1 TDM (using splitter)

WipAir links in 1+1 TDM configuration operate NON hot standby mode:
• One link is active.
• Second link is active and operational, but traffic will not be passing via this link. As
such, both links should be configured to operate on different RF channel / Band.
• When failure is detected in the active link, the backup link automatically becomes
active (automatic detection of less than 50ms).
• Configuration for this mode is done via Radio’s management only (SIDUs should be
configured to receive configuration from ODU).
• Make sure that S-IDU has the proper 1+1 license and “backup TDM” is enabled in
both SIDUs and Radios.
