More detailed information of the Memory Key is described in Chapter 5.8 Memory Key.
A Power Source Equipment (PSE) is integrated into First Mile 200 and is
able to deliver DC power supply to ODU acting as a one-port end-span power injector
The ODU powering procedure is controlled by software and can be started only if the
interface is configured to support an ODU. In any condition, if the ODU power supply is
disabled for that interface, the procedure is stopped and voltage is removed.
Two Ethernet Ports 3(PWR) and 4(PWR) support the power injector function.
On First Mile 200 front panel, there are four types of LEDs to indicate the status of
system, Memory Key, Ethernet ports and E1/T1 ports.
More detailed information of the LEDs, please refer to Chapter 7.5 LEDs indication.
Both storm control and per port rate limit only apply to E-LAN service bearing on the port,
don’t apply to E-Line service.
Classification at UNI
At UNI port, ingress frames are mapped into services according to configurable mapping
rule (also known as: configuration rule). Priority between the classification rules defined
in a port is configurable on the port basis.
In First Mile 200 R2.5.1, the mapping field supported on UNI and NNI ports are
different. In addition, the mapping field used for E-Line service and E-LAN service on
UNI port is different either.
Features IDU Product Description
There are two kinds of mapping rules existing on the UNI port of a service: service
mapping rule and QoS mapping rule.
Mapping fields on UNI port for E-Line service:
• MAC DA (Destination Address)
• MAC SA (Source Address)
• VLAN priority (C-tag)
• VLAN ID (C-tag)
• CVLAN untagging
• EtherType
• Protocol Type
• Source IP address
• Destination IP address
• L4 source port
• L4 destination port
• DSCP
A combination of rules can also be used to define a service, e.g. VLAN ID=100 AND
DSCP = 32.
The mapping rule for E-LAN service on UNI port has the following limitations:
• MAC SA/Source IP address are per system based
• For a single mapping rule, only one field can be used for classification
• Priority of these fields is fixed as (from highest to lowest): VLAN ID, MAC SA, Source
IP address, untagged traffic/remaining traffic
Mapping on broadcast/unicast/multicast
First Mile 200 supports the classification of broadcast, unicast, and multicast
traffic. A service can be configured to either single-CoS service or multi-CoS
service.
For a single-CoS service, all the traffic on the service will be enqueued with the same
queue.
For a multi-CoS service, the different flows of the services will be enqueued with the
different queues.
For a single CoS E-Line and E-LAN service, there is one or two UNI ports on the service
and one or more service mapping rules on a certain UNI. All the UNI and the underlying
service mapping rules use the same global service CoS.
For a multi-CoS E-Line and E-LAN service, there is one or two UNI ports on the service
and one or more service mapping rules on a certain UNI. Each underlying QoS mapping
rule has its own CoS.
IDU Product Description Features
On NNI port, only source port and SVID are used for classification.
Order mapping rules
It is possible that a single frame can be matched into multiple mapping rules. Thus
mapping rules must be ordered to avoid the confusion. User should assign a matching
priority for each rule and the mapping rule with lower index number will be matched first.
W hen re-ordering the rules, all services running on that port need to be disabled first.
Then after the mapping rules have been changed successfully, all the services will be
up again. 128 E-LAN and 256 E-Line services are also supported in First Mile 200
R2.5.1. And the maximum of total service is 256 in any case.
VLAN manipulation
VLAN translation only applies on UNI port. On UNI port, only untagged and C-tagged
frame can be accepted. W hen these frames enter switch, a service VLAN tag (S-tag) is
assigned to packets belonging to a service, that is, to packets matching the classification
rules defined for the service.
• Transparent mode: the C-tag is not modified and kept as it is, S-tag is added prior
to C-tag at ingress UNI and S-tag is removed at egress UNI
• Translation mode: for those services whose classifier is VLAN ID, C-tag is removed
before adding S-tag at ingress UNI. And at egress UNI, the C-tag is added and the
S-tag is removed
W hen the packet leaves the UNI port, it is always C-tagged or untagged.
At NNI, S-tag of ingress traffic is transmitted transparently. An example of traffic flow is
depicted in Figure 11.
Features IDU Product Description
Ethernet-Services.pdf. Note that bandwidth profile parameter Color Mode is not sup-
ported by the current release of First Mile 200, which means that only color-blind
mode is supported. Note also that MEF uses EIR (Excessive Information Rate)
instead of PIR for the same meaning.
First Mile 200 supports four types of bandwidth profile:
• Per UNI bandwidth profile
• Per service bandwidth profile
• Per CoS bandwidth profile
• Per mapping rule bandwidth profile
Figure 12 below illustrates the effect of each type of bandwidth profile applied to
Ethernet services.
A service can be applied with only one type of bandwidth profile. However, a service
can have multiple bandwidth profiles of the same type (either the type of per CoS band-
width profile or the type of per mapping rule bandwidth profile). Likewise, when there are
multiple services on a UNI, each service can have its own bandwidth profiles of single
type except the case where per UNI bandwidth profile is applied to the UNI.
Traffic policing
One of the key QoS components to enforce bandwidth profile is traffic policing on UNI.
Other components include congestion control and queue scheduling.
An Ethernet frame received on UNI is considered as in-profile if it conforms to the
bandwidth profile, otherwise it is considered as out-of-profile. Traffic policing determines
whether a frame is in-profile or out-of-profile and marks the result for the frame
accordingly so that the other QoS components can handle the frame in the correct way.
First Mile 200 supports two-rate three-color-marker (TrTCM) mechanism. At the point
when a frame is received on UNI port, traffic policer calculates the traffic rate by using
dual- token-bucket algorithm. The rate is then compared against the bandwidth profile
assigned to the service the frame belongs to and the frame is processed as below
depending on the result of policing:
1 If the rate is below or equal to CIR, the frame is perceived as in-profile and is marked
“green” on the color- bit allocated to the frame. The frame is then sent to the egress
queue, waiting for the next step of processing. Normally, “green” frames will always
get to its destination without being dropped. This is how CIR is ensured end-to-end.
2 If the rate is above PIR, the frame is perceived as out-of-profile and is marked “red”
and dropped right away.
3 If the rate is between CIR and PIR, the frame is still in-profile (in the sense of PIR)
but is marked “yellow” and sent to the egress queue waiting for the next step of
processing. If the frame does not experience congestion, it will get to its destination.
Otherwise, it may or may not be dropped. In other words, the delivery of “yellow”
frame is not ensured.
For detailed description of TrTCM, please refer to IETF RFC2698.
IDU Product Description Features
sRED only works for yellow packets. The green packets will be dropped only when the
buffer becomes full. All the red packets are dropped.
3.2.2.5 Scheduling
The following scheduling modes are supported in First Mile 200:
• Strict Priority (SP)
• Weighted Round Robin (W RR)
• Weighted Deficit Round Robin (WDRR)
• SP + W RR/DRR
Strict Priority
The strict priority method schedules the access to the egress port across the QoS
queues from highest QoS queue index to the lowest. The purpose is to provide lower
latency service to the higher QoS classes of traffic.
The maximum and minimum metering mechanisms may be used to influence the
behavior of the scheduler. For example, if the bandwidth exceeds the maximum meter
of a high priority queue, even there are packets in the queue, the low priority queue will
be served.
flow is known. In most instances, however, this attribute is traffic-dependent and can
vary over time. DRR provides a bandwidth allocation scheduler mode that takes into
account the variably sized packet issue by maintaining sufficient state information when
arbitrating across the CoS queues. In DRR scheduler, queues are served in round robin
order while taking account two state variables: the quantum and credit counter. Each
CoS queue has associated with it a configurable quantum, similar to a WRR weight
value. However, the unit for the quantum is in bytes. The purpose of the credit counter
is to track the overuse of bandwidth by a particular CoS queue relative to its specified
quantum.
A set of queues is serviced by the DRR scheduler, where each queue is associated with
a particular QoS. These queues are served in round robin order while taking into
account two state variables: the quantum and credit counter. Each QoS queue has a
configurable quantum, similar to a W RR weight value. However, the unit for the quantum
is in bytes. The credit counter is to track the overuse of bandwidth by a particular QoS
queue relative to its specified quantum. The weight of each QoS queue can be selected
by operator. The range of weight varies from 1 to 127. By default the weight from QoS
7 to QoS 0 shall be 8:7:6:5:4:3:2:1.
SP + WRR
The combination of SP + WRR is supported in First Mile 200. A certain number of QoS
queues out of 8 on a egress port can be selected to work in strict priority mode, the rest
queues on the port work in WRR mode. In this case, strict priority queues are serviced
first in the order of their QoS numbering, the rest QoS queues are serviced in WRR
manner.
It is possible to enable all QoS queues either in SP mode or WRR mode, or one part in
SP mode and the other in WRR mode. But the queues with SP mode must have higher
index and the index must be consecutive. The weight of each queue shall be
configurable from 1 to 127, by default all queues shall be in WRR mode with the ratio
8:7:6:5:4:3:2:1.
SP + DRR
In scheduling mode of SP + DRR, a certain number of QoS queues out of 8 on an egress
port can be selected to work in SP mode, the rest queues on the port work in DRR mode.
It is possible to enable all QoS queues either in SP mode or DRR mode, or one part in
SP mode and the other in DRR mode. But the queues with SP mode must have higher
index and the index must be consecutive. The weight of each queue shall be
configurable from 1 to 127, by default all queues shall be in DRR mode with the ratio
8:7:6:5:4:3:2:1.
For each CoS queue, maximum rate meter > minimum rate meter must be ensured.
• CCM
• Only support 64 P2P CCM flow, each CCM flow supports 3.33ms, 10ms, 100ms,
1s CCM interval
• Not support STP and CCM at the same port same VLAN
• Support MEP on LAG
In some cases, service traffic goes through one LAG member port, and CCM
which monitors the service goes to other LAG member port, then even if the data
traffic is interrupted, CCM will still result OK. So it is not recommended to con-
figure MEP on LAG.
3.2.3.2 Loopback
Loopback messages are unicast and multicast frames that a Maintenance End Point
(MEP) transmits. It is used to verify the connectivity of a MEP with a Maintenance Inter-
mediate Points (MIP) or peer MEPs. They are similar in concept to an Internet Control
Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo (Ping) messages, sending Loopback to successive
MIPs in order to determine the location of a fault. Sending a high volume of Loopback
Messages can test bandwidth, reliability, or jitter of a service, which is similar to flood
ping. A MEP can send a Loopback to any MEP or MIP in the service. Unlike CCMs,
Loopback messages are administratively initiated and stopped.
The minimum LB message interval is 1s. In this release only 1s and 10s intervals are
supported. The total LB sessions supported are 1s x 8 and 10s x128.
3.2.3.3 AIS
Ethernet alarm indication signal function (ETH-AIS) is used to suppress alarms
following detection of defect conditions at the server (sub-) layer. Due to independent
restoration capabilities provided within the spanning tree protocol (STP) environments, ETH
AIS is not expected to be applied in the STP environments.
3.2.3.4 RDI
Ethernet remote defect indication function (ETH-RDI) can be used by a MEP to
communicate to its peer MEPs that a defect condition has been encountered. ETH-RDI
is used only when ETH-CC transmission is enabled.
LLDP allows the NMS to build the physical topology of the network under its supervision.
The NMS can only get a complete picture of the controlled network when all the NEs
support LLDP.
The system is hardware ready for mapping of time slots pertaining to one E1/T1/J1 inter-
face to multiple EVC in future releases.
Two FPGA firmware is provided. One is used to support the E1 CESoP and E1
SAToP. And the other is used to support T1/J1 CESoP. The operator can configure
CESoP and SAToP services by using an E1/T1/J1 interface. At a certain time, only one
mode will be configured through a certain E1/T1/J1 interface. The operator can switch
CESoP/SAToP mode from NMS and cold-reboot the system. After switching finished,
all TDM service related configuration on the interface will be removed.
W hen the operator switches from one mode to another, First Mile 200 need to be
cold rebooted.
The two FPGA firmware and SW firmware will be integrated to a single package whe n
delivered to customer.
mode need to be selected. After selecting the TDM interface E1 mode, SAToP can be
configured thereafter.
SAToP addresses only structure-agnostic transport, i.e., the protocol completely
disregards any structure that may possibly be imposed on these signals, in particular
the structure imposed by standard TDM framing. This emulation is referred to as
“emulation of unstructured TDM circuits”. The following common configuration has to be
applied at the PWE entities:
• Admin status
• Number of TDM frames per packet
• Number of PSN tunnels per PWE device
Due to the fact that SAToP carries TDM streams in their entirety, any TDM
signalling/framing information will be handled transparently and without any specific
processing. Therefore the emulated TDM services are more sensitive to the PSN
packet loss, when compared to Structure Aware emulation that locally regenerates TDM
framing/signalling information.
3.4 Protection
CCM time interval: The time interval for generation and detection of E-CCM. It can be
configured from a minimum of 10 ms to a maximum of 1s. The default value is 100 ms
Before to set this parameter, refer to the documentation of ODU used in order to verify
the compatibility.
Features IDU Product Description
• Discarding: Dropped at the UNI. The subscriber should manually ensure that
network does not contain loops going through the service
Faster Hello Time
In RSTP/MSTP, standard Hello Time range is 1s~10s. In order to improve the
convergence time, First Mile 200 can set Hello Time between 100ms and 10s. 100ms
Hello Time will significantly reduce the convergence time, compared with
1s Hello Time.
Edge Port
W hen linkup a normal MSTP/RSTP port (not Edge Port), it will wait for 2 *
ForwardingDelay before change to forwarding state if there is no peer device that
support MSTP/RSTP Port.
First Mile 200 R2.5.1 has various enhancements in xSTP. It supports ODU
management when xSTP is running over LPG and fast topology update.
For detailed information of STP, RSTP, and MSTP, please refer to IEEE 802.1D,
802.1W, and 802.1 respectively.
Only six Ethernet ports on the front panel can be configured for LAG.
The protection switch-over time 50 ms is required only for bi-direction broken on for-
warding path. The Uni-direction failure protection will be added in the future release.
CESoP/SAToP linear protection service over LPG and LAG is supported.
CESoP/SAToP linear protection switching time over LPG and LAG is 50 ms.
Switching command
Operator can issue commands to make CES traffic switching to Working path or
Protection path.
• Switch to working path
Before issuing “switch to working” command, it is recommended to use OAM like
method to check the working path status. After issuing this command, it can override
normal protective switching mechanisms. It will check Hold-switch time, if Hold-
switch time does not return to zero, the command will be aborted.
• Switch to protection path
Before issuing “switch to protection” command, it is recommended to use OAM like
method to check the protection path status. After issuing this command, it can
override protection auto-switch mechanisms. It will check Hold-switch time, if Hold-
switch time does not return to zero, the command will be aborted.
The time between switching from Protection to working and vice versa is hold-switch
time. The default value is 1s.
• The switch-over time varies with the number of protected E-Line services in one
First Mile 200 that are affected by the failure on the working path. For example, if
only one E-line service in First Mile 200 is affected by a failure, the switch-over time
is less than 50 ms; if 24 protected services in one First Mile 200 are affected by a
failure, the switch-over time is less than 400 ms.
• Hold-off timer.
Hold-off timer is intended for controlling when the switch-over takes place once 3
consecutive CCM messages are found to get lost on the working path.
The range of the hold-off timer is 500 ms to 10 s in steps of 100 ms. The default
value is 0.
• STP
G.8031 does not change any topology and thus STP active topology information
is not affected by G.8031. Meanwhile, since STP cannot be applied to E-Line
service but only to E-LAN service, there is no conflict between G.8031 and STP.
• CCM
CCM must run on each protected VLAN path, and CCM Loss / RDI / Link Down is
used to trigger linear protection switch-over. It means that G.8031 requires Ethernet
OAM so the license for G.8031 and Ethernet OAM have to be installed.
• LPG
LPG is treated as a normal port in G.8031 linear protection. LPG protection is faster
than linear protection when there are lots of services on the LPG.G.8031.
For example, if the LPG carries 24 services and a failure happens on the active
ODU, both G.8031 and LPG will start to switch. Once the LPG has finished
switching, the CCM LOS of the remaining G.8031 services which haven’t finished
switching will be cleared, thus the remaining G.8031 services will continue to
choose the LPG as their active path.
• Reboot
During NE doing a warm reboot, First Mile 200 cannot send out APS PDU, but can
still send out CCM PDU. In this period, if there is service failure, NE cannot protect
the failure service. After NE finishes warm reboot, First Mile 200 will check the
service status and continue to finish the protection.
During NE doing a cold reboot, the protected service will be interrupted, after the
system boot up, the protected service will be restored again.
In general, after reboot (warm or cold), the traffic can be on working or protection
path randomly if there is no manual command. For revertive mode, after the W TR
timer expires, the traffic will be on working path. For non-revertive mode, if user
needs to switch the traffic to working path, user can use lockout command, and the n
clears it.
Following features are supported in First Mile 200 G.8032 ring protection:
• Only single logical ring protection is supported on one physical ring.
• The ring port’s physical media can be Optical GE, Electrical GE or Microwave.
• Clear - Clears the active near commands (force switch or manual switch
commands)
• LPG
First Mile 200 supports G.8032 on LPG ring port. First Mile 200 transmits CCM on
the active LPG link. While the active radio link fails, FPGA based MEP will detect
the failure in 3.5 x 3.33 ms, both ports in LPG will be blocked. After a short time,
LPG will switch to the backup ODU, and then the MEP will clear loss defect. Then
G.8032 will switch the traffic to original topology.
3.5 Synchronization
W hen the mode is switched between “SSM Mode” and “Normal Mode”, the clock source
mode will keep unchanged.
Synchronization states
If using internal source, only one synchronization state is foreseen: freerun.
If using external source, the following states are foreseen:
• Freerun
This state is selected after startup or after a synchronization reset command.
System will keep working in Freerun mode if no valid source is available.
• Locked
This state is selected after the PLL has locked and no synchronization alarm is
present, i.e. a qualified reference source is available at the selected interface.
• Holdover
This state is selected when the reference source has been disqualified due to some
problem.
Synchronization subsystem
The First Mile 200 synchronization subsystem is composed of a synchronization
processing unit and a clock unit.
The processing unit performs the clock selection based on synchronization alarms and
on the quality level extracted from received synchronization status message (SSM)
according to ITU-T G.781 standard. The processing unit also generates SSM messages
towards downlink devices and communicates with the SNMP agent.
The clock unit, commanded by processing unit, actuates the following:
• source selection
• clock de-jittering / handover functions
• system clock generation and distribution to interested parts
Figure 18 gives an illustration of First Mile 200 synchronization subsystem.
Features IDU Product Description
E1/T1/J1 interface can be used as TDM synchronization input interface. System detects
alarms related to the TDM synchronization input interface as in the following:

• SNMPv3 is available. And SNMPv2c is still available, but answers to “public” com-
munity are no more available
• Telnet/Ftp/Http are supported
• Telnet/Ftp username/password are the same as SNMPv3 username/password, and
Telnet/Ftp does not support Create User/Change Password
• Any supporting user for security installation can be manually removed from the
system as soon as the command of “security startup” is issued
Regarding the upgrading of security features, one temporary administrator user is used
to add the first user’s privilege. As soon as this special user has been created and the
“first installation” is ended, a command shall be available to trigger the “security startup”
IDU shall be warm-rebooted and start working in the configured mode. And the
temporary user will be deleted from the system. The following is the upgrade procedure
from basic mode to secure mode:
• Get license and add-on security package
• Install license and download the security package
• Activate the light mode or strong mode
Features IDU Product Description
Regarding the upgrading from light mode to strong mode, the only thing is to activate
strong mode and it will be available in future release.
3.7.1 SSH/SFTP
Once the security feature is enabled and the security add-on is installed, First Mile 200
R2.5.1 will support SSH (secure shell) which is based on TCP/IP protocol stack. SSH
allows data to be exchanged between two network devices in secure channel. It is a
substitute for TELNET and supports for the secure file transfer together with SFTP
(Secure File Transfer Protocol). SSH authenticates the users login from a shell on a
remote host and encrypts the traffic exchanged between two parties in order to improve
the security of the communication. SSH does not implement file transfer by itself,
instead it starts the remote file transfer agent and talk to it (SFTP) after the connection
to the remote host is established.
3.7.2 SNMPv2c/SNMPv3
An SNMP entity consists of an SNMP engine and one or more associated applications
An SNMP engine provides services for sending and receiving messages, authenticating
and encrypting messages, and controlling accesses to managed objects. There is one-
to-one association between an SNMP engine and an SNMP entity.
Security model
The user-based security model is based on some general data: EngineID, EngineBoots,
EngineTime, UserName. EngineID in First Mile 200 R2.5.1 is both the Authoritative
SNMP EngineID and the context EngineID which indicates where the data is coming
from. EngineBoots is a count of the number of times an SNMP engine has rebooted or
re-initialized since the EngineID is last set. EngineTime is the number of seconds since
the EngineBoots counter is last incremented. The UserName is the name for the user
whose secret key is used to possibly authenticate and encrypt the packet.
• Admin
Any user of this class has read/write access to the complete set of MIB fields. More-
over, users in this class can change passwords for itself and for the lower class
users.
• Read & Write
Any user of this class may read and write all the MIB fields whose property list is
READWRITE, with the exceptions:
• Change IP parameters of the NE
• Set date and time
• Modify SNMP and more generally security parameters
• Perform software download and restore or bulk commit operations
• ReadOnly
Any user of this class cannot modify whatever parameter in the network element
except the registration data for receiving notifications. Anonymous users are also
allowed with the same privileges of read-only users, but the password is not
required.
• Anonymous
Any user of this class is with the same privileges of ReadOnly users, but do not
need any password.
Account log
First Mile 200 R2.5.1 embedded software stores a list of records (up to 120 records)
regarding log actions(Login or Logout) performed by users. All successful log actions
will be recorded. Each record includes the following information fields:
• IP address of the user
• Authentication name or community in case of SNMPv2c
• Protocol type
• Log action type (login, logout, password)

IDU Product Description Features
4 Application
The individual site configurations with First Mile 200 are described in the following chapters.
IDU Product Description Application
If the BTS is configured for full packet transport, Harmony makes also possible a “zero
footprint” installation, i.e., BTS is directly connected to Harmony Radio.
In this configuration, the 3G BTS is connected to First Mile 200 through the GE
interface, while the 2G BTS is connected to First Mile 200 through the E1 interface.
Application IDU Product Description
5 Management
• to configure the E-LAN reachability for all ODUs and IDU with their public IP
addresses, after this operation, it will be possible to address all the management
SNMP agents on the whole system with their public IP addresses and through their
relevant plug-in
• to configure 1 + 1 protection relationship between two ODUs (system type,
alignment of GE/Radio parameters)
• to configure and align the ODUs parameters inside the Link Protection Group (LPG)
• to change topology of an already working system, thus adding/removing an ODU;
with its own public IP address, this means to build up a communication tunnel to
reach each ODU, to configure the DCN data set and to provide the IDU with the
relevant data
Management IDU Product Description

• NE management
• Clock synchronization setting
• Ethernet general configuration
• Service management

For detailed information about WebLCT and how to manage First Mile 200 using
WebLCT, please refer to the Harmony First Mile 200 Rel.2.5 Operate and Maintain
manual.
W hen the system is boot up, it will first check the data in the Memory Key; therefore a
valid Memory Key is required to bootup the system successfully.
If the Memory Key does not work properly, being damaged or being lost, please contact
Technical Support team for support.
5.9 License
First Mile 200 is delivered to customer with the dedicated software release for
operation, providing the basic and essential functions needed in-field, which is the
factory default configuration, while there are additional features that could be required,
for instance, when the network scales up, or network security is required.
The factory default configuration is:
• 2 Ethernet ports can be activated out of 6 Ethernet ports (including the 2 SFP ports)
• All the TDM ports can be activated
First Mile 200 R2.5.1 provides the following upgrade licenses:
Management IDU Product Description
In First Mile 200 R2.5.1, the in-field license upgrading is no need of hardware, it will be
delivered through an electronic channel. For the detailed license upgrading procedure,
please refer to the Harmony First Mile 200 Rel.2.5.1 IDU Operate and Maintain manual.
And there is no pre-installed license in factory.
If the upgrading licenses are ordered together with the equipment, licenses are installed
during commissioning.
In-field license upgrading is also supported, which can be done by DragonWave
service staff or by the customers themselves. The upgrading can be done locally or
remotely through the EMS (Element Management System) while the equipment is
running without traffic disruption. There is EMS upgrading window in both LCT
/ NetViewer to transmit/receive license upgrading parameters.
License is implemented using secure plain text messages generated and authorized by
DragonWave. If the license file is lost or corrupted, the valid licensed user can get a
replacement from DragonWave without paying for the feature twice. The license is
bound to the unit’s serial number and cannot be used in another unit. If the radio
hardware is swapped by DragonW ave in a hardware failure case, a new license file will
be generated.
In case the unit is not managed remotely, make sure that the license has been retrieved
for the equipment before going to the site. There are no emergency licenses available
for Harmony microwave products.
