Horizon Compact Plus Release 1.0.1 Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual –Volume 2
1.0 User Manual Structure
This user manual is divided into three volumes:
Volume 1 –Contains an overview of the product, basic configuration, installation and the
alignment procedures that are sufficient to set up a link and have it passing traffic. Also, a list of
the advanced configuration features.
Volume 2 (this volume) –includes step-by-step configuration details for the advanced
configuration features that are listed in Volume 1.
Volume 3 –contains a complete list of the frequency tables associated with the radio bands
supported by the Horizon Compact Plus
Volume 4 - Contains configuration details relating to industry standard networking features.

Horizon Compact Plus Release 1.0.1 Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual –Volume 2
2.0 Advanced Configuration Features
Volume 1 describes the configuration of the basic features that allow the Horizon Compact Plus to
provide a wireless Ethernet link, with a throughput of up to 400 Mbps. A number of advanced
configuration features provide enhanced throughput, system access and management security, link
protection, quality of service and alarm management. Each advanced feature is described in detail in
the following sections.
Note that all redundancy related commands (web, SNMP, CLI) are not supported in this release.
2.1 Dynamic Configuration Change
There are a number of CLI commands that normally require a save mib followed by a reset system
command to take effect. This is disruptive to network traffic. Four commands that normally require this
are:
set radio config
set ip configuration
set network management interface
set vlan tag
These four commands are part of the basic configuration requirements for the system (see Volume 1 of
this manual for more information).
Only the Super User can invoke the CLI command set dynamic config change on/off. When this
feature is turned on, the above four commands can be run and the various associated parameters
modified and applied without resetting the system. This has advantages, but note that if the radio link
between two systems is the sole management connection, any changes to the radio
configuration parameters (set radio config) on a local system will result in loss of
communication and management to the far end system.
The far end system radio configuration needs to be applied first and then the local system. In this way
communicatons across the link can be reinstated and the system brought back up running with the
revised radio configuration.
WARNING:
The set radio config CLI command may be used to change the radio configuration
of an existing working link. If management of the far end Horizon Compact Plus is
only via the radio link, then configure the far end radio first. Otherwise, if you
change the radio configuration of the near end radio first, you will lose the link to
the far end radio and be unable to manage or configure it.

3.0 Upgrade/Downgrade Licensed Features
Some of the features described in this manual are only available if a license for the feature(s) is obtained
from DragonWave Inc. These are as follows:
1. RLS - Rapid Link Shutdown
2. EOAM, ECFM(802.1ag/Y.1731) –EOAM and ECFM support
3. HAAM –Hitless Automatic Adaptive Modulation
To enable/disable any of these features there are CLI commands that provide information about your
system that DragonWave Inc. requires before it can provide you with the necessary license upgrade key,
or a refund for a downgraded feature. The first three items in the above list are called the Feature Group
and are indexed 1, 2 and 3. These features can be upgraded or downgraded using the
“Upgrade/Downgrade Feature Group” procedure. The fourth item in the list is upgraded/downgraded
using the “Upgrade and Downgrade System License Speed” procedures.
3.1 Upgrade/Downgrade Feature Group
The following procedure shows what features in the feature group may already be enabled and how they
are enabled or disabled.

3.2 Upgrade System License Speed
Upgrading the system licensed speed requires an upgrade license key obtainable from DragonWave.
Upgrading the licensed speed does not cause you to lose the ability to reduce the speed and then
return to the new licensed speed at a later time.
Note that the throughput of a system (current speed) can be configured to be less than, or equal to, the
licensed speed. The actual throughput that the system will operate at is the lesser of the configured
current speed and the System Mode.
Procedure 3-2
Upgrading Horizon Compact Plus System License Speed

login
Log in as a NOC user.
View existing licensed and
current system speeds
Returns the licensed speed key value, the current set system speed and the
set mode.

System mode set to : <system mode>
Example:
Licensed speed set to :200 Mbps
Current speed set to :150 Mbps
System mode set to :hy50_285_128qam
Note that although the mode shows a speed of 285 Mbps, the actual speed
will be limited to the current speed, or the licensed speed, whichever is the
lower.
