will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Note:
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Siklu LTD or
the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
Caution:

1 Introduction to the EtherHaul System
This chapter provides a brief overview of the EtherHaul product line.
The EtherHaul radio delivers carrier-grade wireless point-to-point gigabit Ethernet
services utilizing the 57-66GHz unlicensed V-band and the light-licensed 71-76/81-
86GHz E-band spectrum.
The EtherHaul is based on Siklu’s revolutionary integrated-silicon technology, which
results in a highly reliable, zero footprint, and low-cost radio.
The EtherHaul offers Gigabit throughput, MEF-compliant networking, 8 levels of QoS,
enhanced Hitless Adaptive Bandwidth, Coding & Modulation for maximum spectral
efficiency, and services availability. It supports network synchronization, advanced
OAM&PM tools and ring protection optimized for both small cell and mobile backhaul. It
features multiple GbE interfaces, including optical, supporting complex network
topologies, such as daisy chain, ring, and mesh. The multiple ports enable also
colocation installation and leveraging the infrastructure for additional fixed services
delivery. The EtherHaul is fast, simple and inexpensive to deploy.
EtherHaul as the ideal solution for mobile backhaul and business services delivery
features:
Field proven technology
Reduced TCO and fast ROI
All-outdoor invisible footprint
oSmall and light
oQuick and easy to install
Spectral efficient
oWide range of frequencies
oTDD modulation with seamless delay and jitter
oHitless Adaptive Bandwidth Coding and Modulation for high availability
Advanced layer-2 features:
oMEF-compliant services and QoS
oVLAN & Provider Bridge with 9K jumbo frames support
Clear separation between multiple services with QoS
Enables QoS aware MPLS services delivery
oSLA assurance
Advanced AES encryption for secured street level deployments

EtherHaul Operation, Administration and Maintenance Manual
Page 16
Highly-scalable, the EtherHaul products are software-upgradable to support future
Layer 2.5/3 networking and routing capabilities as networks evolve to flat-IP topologies.
The EtherHaul products features advanced adaptive modulation, bandwidth and coding
- allowing operators to maintain, prioritize, and verify QoS in all weather conditions,
while achieving maximum (up to 99.999%) link availability for prioritized services such
as voice signaling and Sync.
Offering easy and low cost all-outdoor installation and a small form factor, the
EtherHaul products are also environmentally-friendly - boasting a small system and
antenna footprint with especially low power consumption.
The EtherHaul systems are High-capacity Gigabit Ethernet backhaul, with advanced
networking capabilities, at the lowest TCO in the industry. EtherHaul enables mobile
operators to profitably and reliably provide data intensive services. Provided by Siklu,
the pioneer in silicon based mm-waves backhaul systems, EtherHaul systems are the
perfect choice for future proof investment.
1.1 Main Features
Siklu’s EtherHaul wireless backhaul radio link operates in the new V-band and E-band
spectrum, which provides clear technological and economic advantages over the
existing lower frequency bands. Taking advantage of the new spectrum, the EtherHaul
enables easy migration to support Gigabit throughput, enabling operators to enhance
bandwidth capacity on a “pay as you grow” basis. Supporting point-to-point, daisy-
chain, ring, and mesh configurations, the EtherHaul system offers carrier class
availability and services.
The following are some of the main features of the EtherHaul (availability of features
depends on platform):
All-Outdoor Packet Radio
Operates in the unlicensed 57-64 GHz V-band and light-licensed 71-76/81-86
GHz E-Band
Up to 1 Gbps throughput
Asymmetric capacity configuration
High gain narrow beam-width directional antenna
Low latency
Highest Spectral Efficiency
250 MHz, 500 MHz channel bandwidth
Advanced hitless/errorless Adaptive Bandwidth, Coding and Modulation
(ABCM) for a large dynamic range
Configurable center frequency across the entire band

Adaptive Bandwidth, Coding and Modulation
The EtherHaul family implements hitless/errorless adaptive bandwidth, coding and
modulation adjustment to optimize the over-the-air transmission and prevent weather-
related fading from disrupting traffic on the link. The EtherHaul can gain up to 21 dB in
link budget by dynamically adapting: Modulation, FEC coding rates, and channel
bandwidth maintaining the high priority traffic using quality of service advanced
mechanism and dropping the traffic according to the QoS priority defined by the user.

1.2 Functional Description
The EtherHaul is an all-outdoor system comprised of the following functional blocks:
RFIC: Siklu’s integrated Silicon Germanium (SiGe) transceiver operating at 57-
66GHz (EH-600T), 71-76GHz (EH-1200/TL) or 71-76/81-86GHz (EH-1200F/FX).
Modem/Baseband ASIC: Siklu’s modem/baseband ASIC includes the modem, FEC
engines, and Synchronous Ethernet support.
Network Processor: the networking engine is the heart of the high speed
bridge/router function. The engine receives packets from Ethernet interfaces
the modem and CPU. It is responsible for proper forwarding between these all
interfaces.
Interfaces: The network interface consists of 2-4 integrated 100/1000 Ethernet
ports, depends on the product type.
Host processor (CPU) the host processor controls the system responsible for the
control plane, and the antenna alignment.
Antenna: Siklu’s self-designed 1ft innovative antenna, as well as 2ft antenna
option for longer range higher availability.

2 Installing the EtherHaul System
For installation and setup of the EtherHaul system, please refer to the individual
product’s Installation Manual.
The scope of this document is to describe the Web-Based Management (HTML) and
Command Line Interface (CLI) configuration and monitoring options.
The Web-Based Management and Command Line Interface (CLI) should be used after
successful installation and the commissioning of the radio link.
