Overview 1-3

Chapter 1 Introduction WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual
LAN Interface
The WinLink1000 LAN port provides 10/100BaseT interfaces with
autonegotiation and transparent VLAN support. Traffic handling is
provided by a MAC-level self-learning bridge.
TDM Interface
The WinLink1000 TDM interface accepts E1 or T1 traffic, supporting
the following:
•Unframed operation (E1 and T1)
•AMI and B8ZS zero suppression (T1).
Advanced Encryption System
WinLink1000 (version 1.500 and above) ensures user's data security
with one of the most sophisticated commercially available combined
encryption and authentication techniques, CCM/AES. This technique
combines message authentication (preventing antispoofing and replay
protection) with commercial encryption, and complies with the IEEE
802.11i (phase iii) security recommendations.
CCM/AES uses a symmetric 128-bit encryption key (EK), and a Nonce,
and provides both message encryption and authenticating signature.
The nonce mechanism enables the receiver to remember already
received genuine messages and reject all replayed messages.
Initial encryption and authentication is based on a user-defined master
key (Link Password). While standard Wireless LAN encrypts only the
Ethernet Payload, WinLink1000 encrypts both the source and
destination MAC addresses.
Management
WinLink1000 has full local and remote management capabilities. The
user-friendly SNMP-based management tool provides full end-to-end
configuration, event log and performance monitoring capabilities.
Diagnostics and Performance Monitoring
WinLink1000 supports activating local and remote loopbacks on E1/T1
links.
1-4 Overview

WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction
WinLink1000 constantly monitors the data transmission process,
evaluates received signal strength, and signal quality. It also monitors
received traffic and frame rate (FPS) for local and remote units.
Automatic Channel Select
Some versions of WinLink1000 have the Automatic Channel Select
feature, which operates via a Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
mechanism. This enables coexistence with any radar system that may
be active in the area. WinLink1000 performs channel monitoring and
selects the channel with the lowest interference for the transmission.
WinLink1000 operation complies with ETSI requirements where the
ETSI version has been purchased.
Adaptive Rate Modulation (ARA)
WinLink1000 constantly monitors the link quality to make sure that the
maximum throughput is maintained. WinLink1000 automatically re-
evaluates the air transmission rate if the link quality reduces due to
interference or weather changes. A lower rate may be selected in order
to improve the link quality. Once the conditions have improved a faster
rate is automatically selected. Each side of the link is monitored and
adjusted independently. WinLink1000 selects the highest possible rate
to maintain the quality of the services selected.
Transmit Power Control
The Transmit Power Control (TPC) function, provides the capability of
defining the transmit power in order to comply with the ETSI standard
requirement of
30 dB maximum. See
Table 4-1 for full details of transmit power
control.
Alarm Connector
The IDU-C has two external alarm inputs in the form of dry-contact
relays. The Alarm interface is located on the front panel of the IDU-C
and is a 9-pin D-type female connector. The user enables or disables
each of the alarms and can configure the text that appears in the alarm
trap. The ODU sends the alarm within less than a second from actual
alarm trigger.
The alarm connector is available as an ordering option for the IDU-E.

Chapter 1 Introduction WinLink1000 Installation and Operation Manual
Optional External Antenna
WinLink1000 supports configuration of an external antenna. In this
configuration, the outdoor unit is supplied with an N-type connector
that connects through a coax cable to the external antenna.
An external antenna can extend the range of the link, and in some
cases, may help to reduce environmental interferences. Various
external antennas are available for the WinLink1000 operating
frequencies.
For example, an optional flat panel 28 dBi external antenna increases
the operation range of WinLink1000 up to 80 km (50 miles).
