2. Initialsetup
Onceyouhavegottheaccesstotherouter viaTelnet,youcanperforminitial
router setup.Run telnetapplication(Start->Run)usingIP-address that was
assignedonthe eth0 interface ofthe router (for example,9.1.8.1)
Firstofall,letuslistsome usefulcommandsthat should be remembered.
•“help”–listsall available commandsinthe router
•“configshow”(or“cosh”forshort)–showsrouter’scurrent
configuration
•“configsave”(or“cosa”forshort)–savesrouter’scurrent
configuration
•“restarty”–immediaterouter reboot.Rebootlastsfor15 seconds
(approximately)andduringthistimeyouwillnotbeabletocontrolit
over Telnet
•“quit”–finishescurrentconfigurationsession
Themaximumnumber ofconcurrentTelnetsessionsper onerouter is
five.
System parameters
Onceyou’vegotaccess totherouter,themostcommonthingtobedoneinthe
firstturnistosetup some basicsystemparameters:
•Systemname.Systemname isspecified bythe following command:
system name [system_name]
•Systemuser.Thisparameter will be used asalogin:
system user [user_name]
•Systempassword.Systempasswordisused asapassword whilelogin:
system password[password]
•Systemprompt.Thiscommandwillchangecurrentcommandline
interface prompt:
system prompt [any_word]
Also,itmaybeusefultoknowfirmware versionthat iscurrentlyavailableinthe
router androuter’sserialnumber.“Sysver”commandcanbeusedforthis
purpose (Figure 16):
Figure 16.Systemversion
Learningrouter’scapabilities
1. Inordertolearncurrentinterfacesconfiguration,execute“coshifc”
command
2. Inorder tolearnall configuredinterfaces, theirstatesandstatistics, execute
“ifc–a”command.See Figure 17.

Figure 17.Interfacesinformation
Notethat radiointerfacenamemaydiffer from“rf4.0”dependingonthe
model’sfrequencyrange(2.4GHzor5GHz)andnumber ofradiomodulesin
thedevice(oneortwo).Anyway,radiointerfacenamealwaysstartswith
“rf”.
Informationonthespecificinterfacecanbeobtainedusing“ifc<IF-
NAME>”command.Forexample,“ifcrf4.0”will giveyouinformationon
“rf4.0”interface.
3. Inorder togetrouter’scapabilitiesincluding available frequencylist,transmit
power levels, bitratesforthespecificradiointerface,“rf<IF-NAME>cap”
command isused.For example,“rfrf4.0cap”.See Figure 18.
Figure 18.Router’scapabilities
Radiomodule parameters configuration
1. Power levelchanging isaccomplished using “rf<IF-NAME>pwr<power-
level>”command.Forexample,“rfrf4.0pwr32”setstransmittingpower
levelto32mW.Power levelspecifiedinthecommandshouldbetheone
fromthe listofavailable power levels.
2. Frequencychangingisaccomplishedusing“rf<IF-NAME>freq
<frequency>”command.Forexample,“rfrf4.0freq5340”setscurrent
workingfrequencyto5340 MHz. Atthesametimeoneradiomodulecan
workonlyonONEfrequency.
3. Bitratecanbechangedusing“rfrf4.0bitr<bitrate>”command.For
example,“rfrf4.0bitr 24000”setscurrentbitrate to24 Mbps.

III.Point-to-Pointconfiguration
Inourpoint-to-pointconfigurationexamplewe willbuiltasimplenetworkas
showninFigure 19.
Figure 19.Sample network(PtP connection)
Here we willsetup aconnectionbetweentwoPC/Laptops.
All configurationsamplesandnoteswilluseIP-addressesandnames
asspecified inFigure 19.
1. Routers configuration
1.Choose one ofthe routerstobe CPEand the other one tobe BS.
2.ProvideconnectivityfromPC1toCPEandPC2toBSfollowingtheprocedure
describedin“Gettingaccess totherouter”.Asaresultyoushouldmakesure
that youcanping/telnetCPEfromPC1and ping/telnetfromPC2
3.Nowwewillproceedtoroutersconfiguration.FromPC1enter CPErouter
usingTelnet(Start->Run:“telnet9.1.8.1”)andfromPC2enter BSrouter
(“telnet9.2.8.1”)
4.OnBS:configure desiredfrequency(e.g.“rfrf4.0freq5300”).Configure
SID(systemidentifier)-systemidentifier oftherouter,ahexadecimalnumber in
therangeof1HtoFFFFFFH.Allroutersthat are supposedtosee each other on
the same radiolinkmusthave the sameidentifier –forexample:
rfrf4.0sid20202020
5.OnCPE:obtainitsMAC-address forradiointerface.Inorder todothat type:
“ifc<IF-NAME>”.IF-NAME–name ofthe radiointerface.For example,
“ifcrf4.0”.See Figure 20.
Figure 20.Obtaining CPEMAC-address
6.OnBS:using rma commandconfigure theCPE.Thecommandlooksas
follows:
rmaab<IF-NAME> <MAC> ip=<IP> name=<NAME>
•IF-NAME– name ofthe radiointerface (e.g. rf4.0)
•MAC –MAC-address ofthe configured CPE(see step 5)
•ip –IP-addressfortheradiointerfacewithTHISCPEasviewedfromthe
BaseStation.Forexample,yousetup 10.10.10.1 IP-address forthe
CPE.OnceCPEisregisteredat theBaseStation,theBSwill
automatically assignIP-addresstoCPEradiointerfacewiththeBS.In
ourexample,itwillbe 10.10.10.2 address –aconnectionofBSwith
EACHCPEisdescribedasasub-networkwithmasklength30 –that
meansthat 10.10.10.3 would becomeabroadcastaddress.

InfiNetWireless Router Quickstartguide

•NAME– CPE’smnemonicname.
Inour sample networkthisconfigurationstring willlookasfollows:
rmaabrf4.000028ae1dd13 ip=10.10.10.1name=CPE
VERYIMPORTANT!ETHERNETIP-ADDRESS ANDIP-ADDRESS FOR
RADIO INTERFACEMUSTBEIN DIFFERENT NETWORKS
Thiswarningisveryimportant.That meansthat ifyouhave10.10.10.1/24
address ontheEthernetinterfaceyou cannot haveanyof10.10.10.0/24
addressesonyour radiointerface.
7.OnBS:type“rmastart”.Thiswillrun RoutedMultipleAccess Protocol.From
thismomentBSwillwaitfortheconfiguredCPEs(inourcaseit’sonlyoneCPE)
for the registrationrequest.
8.OnCPE:weneedtoconfigure ourBSforthisCPE.“rmabs”commandis
usedforthispurpose.Generally,each CPEcanbeconfiguredforseveralBS.But
inourexamplewehaveonlyoneBStoestablishaPTPlink.ThesyntaxforBS
configuring isthe following:
rmabs<IF-NAME>SID/[MINSPEED/]SPEED <FREQ-LIST>
•<IF-NAME> - radiointerface name (e.g. rf4.0)
•SID– SystemidentifieroftheBSyouwanttoconnectto.Inourcaseit
willbe 20202020 (see step4)
•MINSPEED – if autobitrate mechanismisused(see below) thisvalue
willsettheminimalvalueforthebitrate.Thisparameter isoptional.If
skipped,the lowestavailable bitrate will be used
•SPEED – BSrequestedconnectionspeed.Thisspeedshouldnotbe
higher thanmaximalavailablebitratefortheCPE(see capabilitiesofthe
router).If auotbitrate isnotset,BSwill workwithCPEonthisspeed.
If autobitrate isset,BSwill transmitonthehighestreachable(and
available) bitrateandCPEwilltransmitonhighestreachablespeedbut
nothigher than SPEED value
•FREQ-LIST– listoffrequenciesonwhich theBSshouldbesearched.It
canbe one or severalfrequencies.
Inour example the mostevidentthing that we mustwrite is:
rmarf4.020202020/240005300
9.OnCPE:type“rmastart”.Thiswill startRoutedMultipleAccess Protocolfor
theCPEanditwill immediatelystart“searching”fortheconfiguredBSby
sending registrationrequests.
10.OnBS:turnonpollingmodeon.Pollingmode(Wireless Marker Access)is
STRONGLYRECOMMENDED tobe used inALL casesaswellas RMA protocol.
Inorder toturnpolling on,please type:
rma<IF-NAME> poll
Inour case, rmarf4.0poll
PollingmodeisturnedonONLYfortheBaseStation.Thiswill include
ALL Base Station’sCPEsintothe polling circle о!

2. LearningBS/CPEconnectionstatus
Onceallconfigurationstepsare correctlyperformedyoushouldmakesure that
the connectionisestablished.
Actually,itmakesnosensetoconnectantennastothedeviceswhilelabtesting
butstillyouneedtomakethem“hear”each other.Inorder todothat,locate
theirRFconnectorasclosetoeach other aspossible.Also youmaytryinserting
somekindofsteelpaper-clipintheconnector–thismighthelpinsignal
improvement.

2. Pinging fromCPEtoBSviaradio
The ideastaysthe same.FromCPEwe should useBS’sIP-address for the RF
connection.See Figure 25.
Figure 25.Ping fromCPEtoBS
3. ProvidingPC/LANconnectivity
Onceradios“see”each other we needtomakeourLAN/PC/Laptop“see”each
other also.Thebestthingthat shouldbedoneinthefirstturnistoturnon
dynamicroutingonbothofthedevices.InfiNetWirelessRouter supportstwo
typesofrouting:staticrouting(using routeadd command)anddynamic
routing using RIPv1and v2(command rip –Routing InformationProtocol).
Inorder toturnRIPon,onbothBSandCPE,type: ripstart.Thiswillstart
dynamicroutingandwillforcetherouterswithRIPturnedontoexchangetheir
routingtableswitheach other.Theexchangeisperformedapproximatelyevery
30 seconds.
OntheFigure 26 Routingtablesare shown(use net–r command)tomakesure
that RIP protocolhasalreadyexchanged the routing tableswiththe remote.

Atthispoint,youcanreach (e.g.ping)remote’s eth0 interfacebothfromBSto
CPEandfromCPEtoBS.Forexample,fromBaseStationyoucanpingCPE’s
Ethernetinterface (IP-addressis9.1.8.1).See Figure 27.
Figure 27.Pinging remote’sEthernet
The nextstepistomake youLaptops/PC/LAN“see”each other.
IfyouconnecttwoPC/Laptops(withMS Windowsinstalled)twooptionsare
availableinthiscase:
1. WritearoutetothecorrespondingEthernetnetworkat theoppositesideof
thelink.Inorder todothis, go“Start->Run”andrun “cmd”–Command
Line.Atthe BScomputer youshould write the following:
routeadd 9.1.8.0mask 255.255.255.09.2.8.1
ThismeansthatwhenanIP-packetgoesfromthecomputer connectedto
yourBSdevicetothecomputer at theCPEside,itwill gototheBSEthernet
interface.Intherouter,accordingtotheroutingtablesformedusingRIP
protocol,thepacketwillbesentviaradiototheCPErouter.After that,CPE
router will lookupinitsroutingtablesandsendthepacketthroughits
Ethernetinterface tothe remote computer.
AttheCPEcomputer youshouldperformsimilaractions. Go“Start->Run”
and run “cmd”command.Type the following:
routeadd 9.2.8.0mask 255.255.255.09.1.8.1
Now we provided connectivitybetweentwocomputers.
All routesinWindowsthat are specifiedusing route commandhave
power until nextrebootofthe computer.
2. Thesecondoptionistospecifya defaultgateway forthePC/Laptopwhich

IV.Point-to-Multipoint configuration
Generally,point-to-multipointconfigurationisNOdifferentfrompoint-to-point
configurationintermsofdevicesconfiguration.Thisflexibilityisobtaineddueto
commonhardware/software platformusedinInfiNetWirelessrouters. Thus,
before readingthissectionoftheGuideoneMUSTreadcarefullyPoint-to-Point
Configurationsectioninorder tosetup connectionbetweenthe Base Stationand
oneCPE.Inournextexamplewe will add oneMORECPEtothenetwork.Ifyou
wanttoadd more CPEspleasefollowtheprocedure describedadesirednumber

discussedinthe previouschapter.Thestepstobe takenare the following:
1.Getaccesstothe router (CPE2) fromPC3.
2.Configure BSrouter’sCPEtablefortheCPE2.Inorder todothat learnCPE2
MAC-address fortheradio(ifc-a command).OntheBSexecutethefollowing
command: rmaabrf4.0<MAC> ip=10.10.10.5name=CPE2
<MAC>-isaMAC-addressofCPE2radiointerface.

BS.CPEwill beautomaticallyassignednextIP-address foritsconnection
withBSafter itsregistration.
3.Configure BSat the CPEside.Itshould be done inthe same wayaswe did for
the firstCPE: rmarf4.020202020/24000 5300
Requestedspeed(here 24000)maydiffer accordingtotheCPE
capabilitiesand your networkdesign.
4.Run RMA at the CPE: rmastart
5.After sometime(severalseconds)theCPEwill register at BS(ifthe
configurationwasaccomplishedcorrectly).Tolearnthat,type rmabs at the
CPEside(youwill see BSparameters)and rmaab attheBSside(youwillsee
whether thisCPEisregistered or not).
6.Run RIP protocolonCPE(ripstart)
7.ProvidePC3connectivityfromallnodesofthenetwork.Writecorresponding
routesonall PCs.ForPC1andPC2itwillbearouteto 9.3.8.0/24 network.On
PC3itwillberoutesto 9.2.8.0/24 and 9.1.8.0/24 network.Ifyouuse eth0
