System Capacity
Horizon Quantum throughput canreach 1.6 Gbps (over the air bandwidth), depending upon hardware
and configuration:
1. One IF connector: (includes IF combiner)
a. 400 Mbps using 1 radio channel
b. 800 Mbps using 2 radio channels
2. Two IF connectors (no IF combiner)
a. 400 Mbps using 1 radio channel and 1 radio
b. 800 Mbps using 1 radio channel on each of 2 radios (2 channels total)
3. Two radio channels on eachof two Horizon Quantum units results in1600 Mbps, when
using aggregation protocols ortechnology.
Note: Horizon Quantum has a compression ratio of up 2.5:1 across a link. Therefore, with
compressible data, Horizon Quantum throughput can reach 4 Gbps, depending upon
hardware and system configuration.
System Configuration
Logging In –Serial Port, Telnet, Web Interface
Default IP address:192.168.10.100 Default subnet is: 255.255.0.0

Serial port speed: 19200 baud, 8 data bits , no stop bits, 1 parity, no flow control (19200 N81)
Default management is via Ethernet Port 3 (out of band)
Configure your pc with an IP address in the same subnet.
Command Line Interface (CLI) Overview: Serial Port or Telnet to system IP address
CLI uses GET and SET commands or config wizards with interactive question/answer.
Full context sensitive help is available for all CLI commands. Type „?‟ followed by a partial
command.
For example „? statistics‟ will provide all commands with the word „statistics’.
Pressing the TAB key after entering a partial command will complete the command if unique.
Up and down (↑ and ↓) arrow keys will recall previous CLI entries.
Unrecognized CLI commands will receive a NAK response.
Issue „save mib‟ command to save the new settings to flash memory. Some changes require
the system to be reset to implement the new settings. („reset system‟ CLI command)
Web Interface (GUI) (must be enabled)
Enter the target system‟s IP address into web browser (Example: http://192.168.10.100)
Configuration Steps
Radio Band & System Mode is applied to both modems simultaneously with a singlecommand.
Each modem supports its own frequency/channel and Tx Power (dual radio only)
1. Configure the system capacity (Web: Basic Configuration page)
-get system capacity
-set system capacity <index> (setting single/dual modem or radio, or redundancy)
Note: For system capacities with „Dual Wireless Ports; a license key is required.
To check if the unit is shipped with the license key, „get licensed feature groups’.
See Index 5.
If the unit is not licensed for „Dual Wireless Ports‟:
Please contact [email protected] or [phone].
2. Configure the Radio Band. (Web: Basic and Port Configuration page)
-set radio band <radio band>
Example: set radio band fcc11_a_30 (11GHz B1 30MHz Channels –DUO/AP Radio)
Example: set radio band fcc23_2_50_R5 (23GHz B2 50MHz Channels –Quantum Radio)
3. Configure the System Mode. (Web: Basic Configuration page)
-set system mode <system mode> (used for setting speed and modulation)
Example: set system mode hz30_212_256qam (212 Mbps at 256QAM modulation)
4. Configure the frequency bank. (Web: Basic Configuration page)
-set frequency bank <txhigh/txlow>
5. Review available frequency pairs and indexes. (Web: Basic Configuration page)
-get frequency bank
6. Program transmit and receive frequency by index. (Web: Basic Configuration page)
-set programmed frequency <index>
-set programmed frequency <index> wireless_port2 (for dual modem)
7. Configure the IP address, subnetmask and default gateway. (Web: Basic Configuration page)
Note: Selecting yes after either of these commands will apply the settings immediately.
-set ip address <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
-set subnet mask <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
-set default gateway <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
Note: The user can select any user ports (P1 to P8) and data paths (DP1 to DP4) to manage the
system.
8. Configure the network management interface. (Web: Basic Configuration page)
set network management interface (interactive wizard)
By default the management interface is p3.
Note: By assigning the management ports as the ports belonging to anIPG the management traffic
can be isolated from other user traffic. (Out Of Band Management)
9. Configure Isolated Port Groups.
IPGs are used to interconnect multiple isolated networks by creating multiple switching domains.
-set ipg config <group name><enable|disable><port list>
Example:
In Band: -set ipg config ipg5 enable p3,dp1
(enable ipg5 to correspond with port3 and dp1)
Out of Band: -set ipg config ipg5 enable p3
(enable ipg5 to correspond with port3)
ipg = isolated port group (1-5) dp = data path (1-4).

10. Switch Port VLAN Configuration –Use this command to define Ethernet ports as either Trunk or
Access.
A Trunk port will accept any packet with a VLAN identifier within a specified and configurable
range of values from 1 to 4094. Trunk ports will drop untagged packets, or those that are
outside of their configured VLAN, or trunk range.
An Access port may only accept untagged packets, and those with the configured access
VLAN identifier. Packets leaving an access port will be untagged.

Antenna Alignment
Perform rough alignment by eye, aligning the center
line of the mounting bracket to the far end.
Tighten down the mounting bracket. Loosen the Lock
Nuts for only one alignment direction at a time. (ex. If
performing azimuth alignment, loosen only the
Azimuth Lock Nuts.) This prevents unexpected
movements of the antenna. During both azimuth and
elevation adjustments it should be possible to
identify the main lobe, along with one or more side
lobes per side. Perform a check for the side lobes
(by panning) to ensure themain lobe has been identified and aligned to.
Enable Alignment:
set alignment [on | off] [wireless_port1 | wireless_port2] -tsecs
sets the antenna alignment mode On or Off for -t seconds (default is 7200 = 2 Hours).
Loosen the antenna mount fine azimuth
and elevation adjustment lock nuts.
Connect a voltmeter to the field
strength monitoring port (BNC) and
adjust the fine azimuth and elevation
adjustments for a maximum signal.
Identify all side lobes plus the main
lobe. Ensure that you are aimed at the
main signal lobe.
The final received signal strength
(RSL) should be within ±3 dB of the
link budget figure.
Once alignment is achieved, tighten the
lock nuts on the adjustment mechanisms.
Alignment Adjustment Sensitivity
When performing fine alignment adjustments it is important to rotate the adjustment nuts 1/10th of a
turn at a time between taking RSL readings.
The beam width of a Horizon Compact system is no greater than 2 degrees. One complete turn of a
fine adjustment nut moves the system through more than 1 degree. One complete turn can,
therefore, move right through the peak signal position.
Indications of a Properly Operating Link
- get alarms No alarms
- get modem statistics and get modem statistics wireles_port2
RSL within ±3 dB of link budget figure Eb/No ≥ 21 dB
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥29 dB Equalizer Stress typically 20-100 , but < 150

Bandwidth Doubling
The Dual Polarity Radio Mount (DPRM) allows two Horizon Quantum units to mount onto a single
antenna, providing bandwidth doubling capabilities. One Horizon Quantum is horizontally polarized
and the second is vertically polarized.
For bandwidth doubling, each Horizon Quantum is fed up to 800 Mbps (2 modem cards) X
compression ratio (2.5 for example) = 2 Gbps from the network switch, enabling the wireless link to
carry up to 4 Gbps, full duplex, of user traffic. Radios can operate on different channel frequencies or,
utilizing XPIC, allows both radios to operate on the same channel frequency.
Redundancy
Redundancy capability is achieved with Horizon Quantum Dual
Modem variant connected to two radios. This functionality is
intended for use with a PSRM (coupler) connecting two radios to
a single antenna with common polarization. Alternatively, it
could be used with two radios connected to two antennas with
common polarization. This functionality will not work for links
which are cross-polarized.
Configure the system capacity (Web: Basic Configuration page)
-set system capacity 4 (Configure the redundancy)
-set redundancy installation rdrm_single_modem
(where only one radio is transmitting)
-set switching algorithm < manual/algorithm based>
for algorithm based method, switching will occur
automatically when a detectable problem occurs if the mate
has no detectable problems.
for manual, no switching will occur except when we initiate a switch radio (web/cli)
-set redundancy primary wireless port <wirless_port1 / wireless-port2>
(Web: Radio Redundancy Configuration page)
Firmware Upgrades
Note: You must commit the software bank prior to loading any software.
-commit
-copy ftp:[filename] filename must remain unchanged [in a proper format]
ie, frequencyFileHzQtm_1.00.00.txt
Warning: Your software bank [active or not] contains your mib (configuration). Failure to commit
prior to swapping banks may result in an older or unknown configuration being applied to
your system.

Troubleshooting
1st step: run Merlin diagnostics
Alarms: Check alarms. No alarms should be present.
Modem Receiver Loss of Signal = no signal being received from the far end.
Radio Mismatch = incorrect radio band/type configured,
TxH / TxL reversed, or SP/HP system mode incorrect
Ethernet Link Down = no connectivity on Ethernet link
Modem Hardware Fault = replace Horizon Quantum IDU unit
Radio Power Amp = replace Quantum/DUO radio unit
Synthesizer Unlock = replace Quantum/DUO radio unit if alarm is persistent.
RSL Issues:
Mismatched RSL between endpoints
- one endpoint at target RSL, other endpoint low RSL: use RF loopback feature to determine
if Transmitter at oneend, or Receiver at other end is at fault.
- Verify both ends are receiving DCpower
Low RSL both endpoints
- Verify clear LOS exists / Verify alignment / Verify Transmit power at both ends
- Link fade? Polarization is the same at both ends?
Poor RF Signal Quality:
- See parameters in “Indications of a Properly Operating Link”
Packet Loss, Poor Throughput, Loss of IP Connectivity:
- check RF signal quality
- check for mismatched modulation between endpoints
- check Ethernet switch traffic statistics at both ends of the link
- verify Ethernet speed and duplex settings
- check integrity of Ethernet cables
- check COS/QOS settings
