Security Recommendations
To prevent unauthorized access to the device, note the following security recommendations:
Authentication
• Replace the default passwords for all user accounts and processes (where applicable) before the device is
deployed.
• Use strong passwords. Avoid weak passwords such as password1, 123456789, abcdefgh, etc. An example of a
strong password would be a password that contains at least eight characters, including a lowercase letter, an
uppercase letter, a numeric character and a special character.
• Make sure passwords are protected and not shared with unauthorized personnel.
• Do not re-use passwords across different user names and systems, or after they expire.
• When RADIUS authentication is done remotely, make sure all communications are within the security perimeter
or on a secure channel.
Physical/Remote Access
• SSL and SSH keys are accessible to users who connect to the device via the serial console. Make sure to take
appropriate precautions when shipping the device beyond the boundaries of the trusted environment:
▫ Replace the SSH and SSL keys with throwaway keys prior to shipping.
▫ Take the existing SSH and SSL keys out of service. When the device returns, create and program new keys for
the device.
• Use a AAA server whenever possible.
• When using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol):
▫ Limit the number of IP addresses that can connect to the device and change the community names.
▫ Make sure the default community strings are changed to unique values.
• Limit the number of simultaneous Web Server and SSH sessions allowed.
• Configure remote system logging to forward all logs to a central location.
• Management of the configuration file, certificates and keys is the responsibility of the device owner. Before
returning the device to Siemens for repair, make sure encryption is disabled (to create a cleartext version of the
configuration file) and replace the current certificates and keys with temporary throwaway certificates and keys
that can be destroyed upon the device's return.
Hardware/Software
• Make sure the latest firmware version is installed, including all security-related patches. For the latest
information on security patches for Siemens products, visit the Industrial Security website [http://
www.industry.siemens.com/topics/global/en/industrial-security/news-alerts/Pages/alerts.aspx] or the

mitigates against attacks such as SSL/TLS Protocol Initialization Vector Implementation Information Disclosure
Vulnerability (e.g. BEAST).
Policy
• Periodically audit the device to make sure it complies with these recommendations and/or any internal security
policies.
• Review the user documentation for other Siemens products used in coordination with the device for further
security recommendations.
Section1.2
Mobile WiMAX Wave 2 MIMO Features
Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) describes systems that use more than one radio and antenna system
at each end of the wireless link. In the past it was too costly to incorporate multiple antennas and radios in a
subscriber terminal. Recent advances in radio miniaturization and integration technology now make it feasible and
cost effective. Combining two or more received signals has the immediate benefit of improving received signal
strength, but MIMO also enables transmission of parallel data streams for greater throughput. For example, in a 2
× 2 MIMO (two transmit and two receive elements), dual polarization point-to-point system, the carrier’s allocated
frequency can be used twice, effectively doubling the throughput data rate.
In point-to-multipoint systems employing MIMO, each base station antenna transmits a different data stream
and each subscriber terminal receives various components of the transmitted signals with each of its subscriber
antennas. The subscriber terminal is able to algorithmically separate and decode the parallel simultaneously
received data streams.

Section1.2.1
Space-Time Coding
Space-Time Coding (STC) is a technique for implementing transmission diversity. Mobile WiMAX uses transmit
diversity in the downlink direction to provide spatial diversity to enhance the signal quality to a specific subscriber
located anywhere within the range of the antenna beam. Although providing less signal gain than beam-forming,
transmit diversity is more robust for mobile users as it does not require prior knowledge of the path characteristics
of a subscriber’s particular frequency channel. One such STC technique, known as the Alamouti Code, was
published in 1998[4] is incorporated in the WiMAX 16e standard.

Introduction
Time Division Duplexing (TDD) 5
Section1.3
Time Division Duplexing (TDD)
The SS uses time division duplexing (TDD) to transmit and receive on the same RF channel. This is a non-
contention based method for providing an efficient and predictable two-way PTP or PMP cell deployment. All
uplink and downlink transmission scheduling is managed by the base station. The base station sends data traffic
to subscribers, polls for grant requests, and sends grant acknowledgements based on the total of all traffic to all
subscribers.
Section1.4
Coding Rates
Each burst of data transmitted over the wireless interface is padded with redundant information, making it more
resistant to potential over-the-air errors. The coding rate is the ratio of user data to the total data transmitted
including the redundant error correction data. The base station supports coding rates of 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4.
Section1.5
Modulation
The modulation technique specifies how the data is coded within the OFDMA carriers. The base station supports
QPSK, 16 Quadarature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), and 64 QAM modulations.
Section1.6
Convolution Turbo Coding Correction
Convolution Coding (CC) error correction is enabled for all traffic rates. This low-level process can correct bursts of
errors in received messages and reduce the number of retransmissions.
Section1.7
Deployment Models
The SS supports point to point (PTP) and point to multipoint (PMP) deployment scenarios.

•Section1.7.4, “Channelization”
Section1.7.1
PTP Deployment
When deployed in a PTP configuration, the base station establishes a dedicated bidirectional link to a single
subscriber. PTP deployments typically use a directional narrow beam antenna for both ends of the link.
Section1.7.2
PMP Deployment
When deployed in a PMP configuration, the base station establishes bi-directional links to more than one
subscriber. PMP deployments typically use a wide beam (sector) antenna at the base station and a narrow beam
antenna at the subscriber. Service flows are used to police service level agreements for each subscriber.
Section1.7.3
Non Line-of-Sight
The WIN RUGGEDCOM WIN product family supports line-of-sight (LOS) and non line-of-sight (NLOS) operation. A
clear LOS link has no obstacles within 60% of the first Fresnel zone of the direct path.
A wireless link is considered non-LOS if natural or man-made structures block the visible path between the
base station and the subscriber. In this case, a wireless link can be established only if a reflective path can be
established between the base station and subscriber.

Channelization
The SS is a frequency-specific system, with the frequency band defined by the PHY unit. The use of the operating
band must be in accordance with local regulation requirements.
The SS divides the available frequency band into channels. Allocation of channels during deployment is dependent
on spectrum availability in the licensed band and local licensing requirements and conditions. Channel selection
allows planners to obtain the maximum geographic coverage, while avoiding frequency contention in adjacent
sectors.

Service Flows
Service flows are a key feature of the IEEE 802.16e standard. A service flow represents a unidirectional data flow
having separate Quality of Service (QoS) settings for uplink and downlink. Service flows provide the ability to set
up multiple connections to each subscriber in a sector.

Introduction
Service Flow Classification 7
Separate service flows can be established for uplink and downlink traffic, where each service flow is assigned
a unique service level category and separate QoS settings. This feature allows segregation of high-speed/high-
priority traffic from less time-critical flows.

Section1.8.1
Service Flow Classification
Data packets are forwarded based on classification rules. Classification rules examine each packet for pattern
matches such as destination address, source address, IP TOS, or VLAN tag. All classification is defined at the base
station and the classification parameters are downloaded to the subscriber.
Section1.8.2
Default Service Flows
Default uplink and downlink service flows are created automatically for each registered subscriber. These service
flows are used to pass all traffic not matching any user-defined service flow (such as broadcast ARP) between the
base station and subscribers. The default service flow capacity is limited for each subscriber.
Section1.8.3
Scheduling
The base station enforces QoS settings for each service flow by controlling all uplink and downlink traffic
scheduling. This provides a non-contention based traffic model with predictable transmission characteristics. By
analyzing the total of all requests from all subscribers, the base station ensures that uplink and downlink traffic
conforms to the current service level agreements (SLAs). Centralized scheduling increases predictability of traffic,
eliminates contention, and provides the maximum opportunity for reducing overhead.
A regular period is scheduled for subscribers to register with the base station. These subscribers may be newly
commissioned or have been deregistered due to service outage or interference on the wireless interface. This is
the only opportunity for multiple subscribers to transmit simultaneously.
•Real-Time Polling Service (rt-PS)
The base station schedules a continuous regular series of transmit opportunities for the subscriber to send
variable size data packets. The grant size is based on the current data transfer requirement. Typical applications
include streaming MPEG video or VOIP with silence suppression. This is efficient for applications that have a
real-time component and continuously changing bandwidth requirements.
•Extended Real-Time Polling Service (ert-PS)
The base station schedules a continuous series of transmit opportunities for the subscriber to send variable
size data packets. This schedule supports real-time applications including VoIP with silence suppression. The
dynamically scheduled grants guarantee reserved bandwidth and reduce latency introduced by repetitive grant
requests. The service flow will not transmit packets larger than the nominal grant interval.

8 Scheduling
•Non-Real-Time Polling Service (nrt-PS)
The base station schedules regular transmit opportunities for the subscriber to send variable size data packets.
Typical applications include high bandwidth FTP. The polling period is typically be one second or less, even
during periods of network congestion.
•Best Effort (BE)
The base station schedules transmit opportunities for the subscriber to send traffic based on unused bandwidth
after all higher level traffic scheduling requirements are serviced. Typical applications include Internet access
and email. Best effort service flows can be assigned a priority of 0 to 7.
•Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS)
The base station schedules a continuous series of transmit opportunities for the subscriber to send fixed size
data packets. This schedule supports real-time applications, including VoIP or TDM transport. The UGS pre-
scheduled grants guarantee reserved bandwidth and reduce latency introduced by repetitive grant requests.
The service flow will not transmit packets larger than the nominal grant interval.

Configuring Network Parameters in Windows
Network parameters in Microsoft Windows must be setup to allow a computer to connect to the RUGGEDCOM
WIN. For instructions on how to configure the network parameters for other operating systems, refer to the user
documentation for that operating system.
The device can be pre-configured in the lab, eliminating the need for configuration in the field. After installing a
pre-configured device, configure additional parameters remotely through the wireless link.
NOTE
The following procedure describes how to configure the parameters using Microsoft Windows 7.
To configure the network parameters in Windows, do the following:
1. Make sure the PoE adapter is connected to the device.
2. Connect the computer’s Ethernet port to the PoE adapter's Ethernet port.
3. On the computer, click Start and select Control Panel.
4. In the Control Panel, select Network and Sharing Center.
