INTRODUCTION
This User Guide describes the firmware version 1.3 and above which is integrated into all
TG60 Range products provided by SilverNet Ltd.
This guide includes detailed information on MICRO TG60 / MAX TG60 software, including
how to operate and use the management functions of the device. To deploy it as part of a
Terragraph network or as a wireless bridge effectively and ensure trouble-free operation,
you should first read the relevant sections in this guide so that you are familiar with all
software features.
WHO SHOULD READ THIS GUIDE?
This guide is for network administrators who are responsible for operating and maintaining
network equipment. The guide assumes a basic working knowledge of LANs (Local Area
Networks) and the Internet Protocol (IP).
TERRAGRAPH NETWORK
Terragraph is a 60GHz, multi-node wireless Software Defined Network (SDN) that enables
high-speed Internet connectivity in multiple environments. The network operates best in
Line-Of-Sight (LOS) conditions to maximize connectivity.
Terragraph is a distribution level network designed to augment and expand a fibre optic
network. That is, Terragraph is a high-speed backbone network to which other networks are
connected. When combined with fixed access connections or Wi-Fi access points, Terragraph
is a low-cost solution to achieve street-level coverage with high speeds.
A Terragraph network is composed of individual nodes. There are two types of nodes in a
Terragraph network –Distribution Nodes (DNs), such as the BASE TG60 and Client Nodes
(CNs), such as the MICRO TG60. DNs are the backbone of the Terragraph network that
distribute Internet connectivity from one or more fibre optic Points of Presence (PoPs) over
multiple hops to CNs. DNs and CNs are connection points for client networks, wireless access
points, and other customer premise equipment (CPE) to connect to the Internet.

SIL TG60 User Manual Introduction 5
Example of a Terragraph Network
Each node in a Terragraph network is a Layer 3 (L3) router. Nodes route traffic within and
between the Terragraph network and attached access networks using routing information
provided by the Open/R protocol. The over-the-air link protocol between Terragraph nodes
uses a modified version of the Directed Multi-Gigabit (DMG) physical layer (PHY) of the IEEE
802.11ay standard.
Each node uses a multi-element, phased array antenna and advanced beamforming
techniques to form high-quality communication links between nodes using primarily LOS
paths while also using reflection paths.
Links can be formed at distances of up to 80 meters between two MICRO TG60 nodes, and
up to 150 meters between one MICRO TG60 node and one BASE TG60 node. The MAX TG60
is suitable for long-range deployments as its range can reach up to 1500 meters when paired
with one MAX TG60, and up to 700 meters when paired with one BASE TG60.
The multiple propagation paths are called micro-routes, and each micro-route is a potential
communication link between nodes. Each node selects the strongest communication link
from the many possible propagation paths between the nodes. The phased array antenna
allows Terragraph to establish links to mitigate co-channel interference that often prevails in
dense urban environments.
The MICRO TG60 / MAX TG60 is a node that serves as the termination point where service
delivery takes place. It is not a part of the mesh network for distribution but provides
connectivity to a fixed client such as a Wi-Fi Access point (AP) or a fixed connection to a
home or office.

GETTING STARTED
This section provides an overview of the device and introduces some basic concepts about
Terragraph networks. It also describes the basic settings required to access the management
interface.
The MICRO TG60 / MAX TG60 offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for
the configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can access
the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer 9.x or later,
Mozilla Firefox 32 or later, and Google Chrome 35 or later.
The web interface is accessible via the LAN port or via the Management port (Uplink PoE). To
access the web interface through the LAN port, follow these steps:
1. Connect a PC directly to the unit’s LAN port.
2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your computer with a static IP address on the
192.168.0.x subnet (for example, IP address: 192.168.0.100 and subnet mask:
255.255.255.0

Password = admin
To access the web interface through the Management port (Uplink PoE), Connect a PC to
the data port of the injector powering the MICRO TG60 / MAX TG60.
If the unit has been reset, it will go to the default IP address of 192.168.1.1. You will need
to change your Ethernet adapter IP address to 192.168.1.x subnet.

SIL TG60 User Manual Network Configuration 15
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
The MICRO TG60 / MAX TG60 has two modes of operation, Terragraph Mode and Point-to-
Point Mode.
When in Terragraph Mode, the MICRO TG60 / MAX TG60 functions as a CPE device (Client
node) providing last-mile, client-side Internet connectivity.
In Terragraph Mode, the MICRO TG60 / MAX TG60 is triggered passively to set up a 60 GHz
link association. The E2E controller (End-to-End controller), which is either embedded in the
BASE TG60 or runs on the Terragraph Network Management System (TG NMS), triggers the
establishment of all links in the defined Terragraph network. The MICRO TG60 listens for the
signal from the E2E controller to set up a link. Thus, users do not have to configure a link on
the MICRO TG60.
After the link between the MICRO TG60 / MAX TG60 and the POP node have been
established, the POP node informs the CN of the network behaviour.
If the POP node is in Terragraph Mode, every node behaves as an IPv6 router, and the
VXLAN between CN and POP is set up automatically. The VXLAN tunnel can forward Layer 2
services (e.g. PPPoE, multicast streaming) over the Terragraph network. On the contrary, if
the POP node is in Bridge Mode, each node behaves as a Layer 2 Bridge.
When the CN is in Point-to-Point mode, it also functions as a Layer 2 bridge. In this mode,
the CN can setup a point-to-point link without the TG NMS or the local controller on the
POP. Point-to-Point Mode supports VLAN transparent and is designed for point-to-point
backhaul links.
Note: When in the same network as a BASE TG60 (DN), MICRO TG60/MAX TG60 must be in
Terragraph mode.
