Troubleshooting
Configuration Steps Alarms: Check alarms. No alarms should be present.
1. Configure Radio Band (example: fcc23_3_50 for 18 GHz Band 3. See Horizon label) Modem Receiver Loss of Signal = no signal being received from the far end.
Enable BNC : set alignment on Enter
a. set radio band <radio band> (Web: Frequency and Port Configuration) Radio Mismatch = incorrect radio band configured, TxH / TxL reversed, or incorrect radio
Loosen the antenna mount fine azimuth
2. Configure System Mode (channel bandwidth, speed, modulation) and elevation adjustment lock nuts. Ethernet Link Down = no connectivity on Ethernet link
A limited selection of modes is available based on the radio band configured Connect a voltmeter to the field Modem Hardware Fault = replace Horizon unit
a. set system mode <hcchannel bandwidth>_<speed >_<modulation> strength monitoring port (BNC) and Radio Power Amp = replace Horizon unit if alarm counts are increasing
b. Example: set system mode hc50_110_16QAM adjust the fine azimuth and elevation
adjustments for a maximum signal. Synthesizer Unlock = replace Horizon unit if alarm is consistent
3. get system speed to view current speed. set system speed <speed> to set different RSL Issues:
desired system speed Identify all side lobes plus the main
lobe. Ensure that you are aimed at the Mismatched RSL between endpoints
4. View available frequencies - get frequency bank main signal lobe. - one endpoint at target RSL, other endpoint low RSL: use RF loopback feature to
5. Licensed installation – Refer to regulatory license and configure assigned frequency The final received signal strength determine if Transmitter at one end, or Receiver at other end is at fault.
Unlicensed installation – Configure either a “Go” or “Rt” frequency. One end of the link (RSL) should be within ±3 dB of the - Verify both ends are receiving DC power
must be configured as “Go” and the other “Rt” link budget figure. Low RSL both endpoints
a. set programmed frequency <index> Once alignment is achieved, tighten the - Verify clear LOS exists
Unlicensed only – select antenna size (automatically sets the maximum allowed power) lock nuts on the adjustment
6. - Verify alignment
mechanisms.
a. get antenna size to display available sizes and associated index - Verify Transmit power at both ends
Disable BNC : set alignment off Enter
b. set antenna size <index> - Link fade?
7. Set IP address, subnet mask, default gateway (for management of Horizon) - Polarization is the same at both ends?
Alignment Adjustment Sensitivity
a. set ip address <nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn> (Web: IP Configuration) Poor RF Signal Quality:
th
When performing fine alignment adjustments it is important to rotate the adjustment nuts 1/10 - See parameters in “Indications of a Properly Operating Link”
b. set subnet mask <nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn> of a turn at a time between taking RSL readings. Packet Loss, Poor Throughput, Loss of IP Connectivity:
c. set default gateway <nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn>
The beam width of a Horizon Compact system is no greater than 2 degrees. One complete turn - check RF signal quality
8. save mib then reset system – traffic affecting ! of a fine adjustment nut moves the system through more than 1 degree. One complete turn - check for mismatched modulation between endpoints
Advanced Configuration Parameters can, therefore, move right through the peak signal position. - check Ethernet switch traffic statistics at both ends of the link
There are a number of parameters that can be configured to provide advanced features: Indications of a Properly Operating Link - verify Ethernet speed and duplex settings
No alarms – get alarms - check COS/QOS settings
Radius Server User Authentication Adaptive Transmit Power Control Timing Protocol (SNTP)
- check integrity of Ethernet cables
Adaptive Modulation RSL within ±3 dB of link budget figure – get modem statistics
VLAN Tagging Modem Authentication Merlin Utlities – Contact DragonWave Technical Support
Eb/No ≥ 19 dB – get modem statistics
802.1P Priority Tagging Threshold Alarms Radio Redundancy - System diagnostics
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥24 dB – get modem statistics
Horizon Throughput Speed Rapid Link Shutdown (RLS) - Reset to factory default settings (Super User etc.)
Equalizer Stress typically 30 , but < 150 – get modem statistics
- IP address recovery
