harsh weather conditions, such as fog, heavy rain etc.
LAN InterfaceThe WinLink 1000 LAN port provides 10/100BaseT interfaces with auto
negotiation and transparent VLAN support. Traffic handling is providedby a MAC-level self-learning bridge.
TDM InterfaceThe WinLink 1000 TDM interface accepts E1 or T1 traffic, supporting
the following:
Unframed operation (E1 and T1) AMI and B8ZS zero suppression (T1).ManagementWinLink 1000 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 MonitoringWinLink 1000 supports activating local and remote loopbacks on E1/T1
links.
WinLink 1000 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.

Optional External AntennaWinLink 1000 supports configuration of an external antennas. In this
configuration, the radio supplies 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 somecases, it might help to reduce environmental interferences. Various
external antennas are available for the WinLink 1000 operating
frequencies.
For example, an optional flat panel 28 dBi external antenna increases
the operation range of WinLink 1000 up to 80 km (50 miles).

Outdoor Unit ODU): The ODU has 2 configurations: ODU withintegrated antenna and ODU with N-Type connector for connection
to an external antenna. Both ODU types have the same interface to
the IDU. The ODU with integrated antenna has an enclosed
aluminum frame with a front sealed plastic cover, containing an
integrated transceiver with an antenna, RF module, modem and
standard interfaces.
ODU includes a power connector that receives -48 VDC and a RJ-45
for Ethernet traffic from the indoor unit (IDU).
The ODU is attached to a mast using a special mounting kit, which
is supplied with the unit.
Indoor Unit IDU): There are two types of IDU cages. IDU-E that is aplastic box of x 19 in. and IDU-C that is based on a metal 19in.
box address the carrier-class applications. IDU is the interface unit
between the ODU and the user. It converts 100240 VAC to
-48VDC, and feeds the ODU by it. The IDU does not store any
configuration data. Therefore, there is no need for additional
configuration of the WinLink 1000 system when replacing an IDU.
2.2 Site Requirements and PrerequisitesFor the IDU, allow at least 90 cm (36 in) of frontal clearance for
operating and maintenance accessibility. Allow at least 10 cm (4 in)
clearance at the rear of the unit for signal lines and interface cables.
The ambient operating temperature should be 45C to 60C/-49F to
140F (ODU), or -5C to 45C/23F to 113F (IDU) at a relative humidity
of up to 90%, non-condensing.
Before starting the installation, use the Link Budget Calculator utility to
calculate expected performance of the link. You can vary parameter
inputs to the calculator to determine the optimum system
configuration. The utility is described in Appendix C.

installation process, a Link Password must be set. An Initial
encryption key is generated. Each time a link is established, the
Encryption key is validated. If the validation failed, the link is
established but no service or configuration is allowed. In this
state, the user can change the link password of each of the sites.
In order to change the link password, the user must enter the
old password. In case of forgotten password, the user may enter
an alternative password supplied with the product. The
alternative password is also supplied from customer support
(after validation of the device serial number or MAC address.

performs both learning and aging, the aging time of the ODU if
fixed.
Hub Mode - in "hub" mode the ODU transparently forward the all

Changing these parameters requires system reset.ote

WinLink 1000Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 3 Configuration
Bridge Configuration 3-25
IDU Aging timeThis parameter controls the IDU (E and C) aging time.
The IDU has 2K MAC address learning table. The aging time parameter
controls the time each MAC address is dropped from the table. Default
value is 300 (sec).
Change to these parameters is effective immediately.
Each side of the link can be configured separately.
The following list detail common configurations, both sides are
configured with the same values.
Standard (Default) Configuration for Ethernet Applications
IDU-E or IDU-C aging is set to 300 sec (ODU is set to Bridge mode,see Figure 3-25.
Fast aging mode(for rapid network topology changes)
IDU-E or IDU-C aging is set to 1 seconds, ODU is set to Hub mode.
Dry ContactThe IDU-C lets the user configure up to two external alarms using the
dry contact D-Type connector. The external alarm indicates, in a SNMP
compatible management system, an alarm generated by on-site
equipment. For example, smoke detector and low battery alarm can be
connected to inputs 1 and input 2 (Figure 3-26). The user enables or
disables each alarm and configures the text that appears in both alarm
and clear traps. The ODU sends the alarm within a second or less from
the actual alarm trigger. The delay until the alarm is received by the
NMS system depends on the network delay.
Configurable Ethernet ModeThe IDU Ethernet (LAN) port(s) default configuration is auto detect. Inthis mode, the ports detect both line speed (10/100), duplex mode
(Half/Full) and cable type (Straight/Crossed). If the external equipment
does not support auto detect or a specific configuration is required,
the configuration can be selected using the port configuration at the
advanced tab (figure 3-18).

Community StringThe ODU communicates with the management application using
SNMPv1 protocol. The protocol defines three types of "passwords"
called communities. These communities are:
Read-Only community for retrieving information from the ODU.
Read-Write community to configure and control the ODU.
Trap community used by the ODU to issue traps.
Both manager application and ODU use the "public-bru1" for the local
unit and "public-bru4097" for the remote unit as the factory defaults.
The management application allows changing these communities. The
change is performed in a secured (encrypted) manner. Note that there
is no way to manage the ODU if the read-write or the read community
were forgotten. In such a case a device specific community must be
obtained. This community enables connection to the ODU for the
purpose of setting new community. The device specific community is
supplied with the device. It can be also obtained from technical
support. In order to obtain it the serial number or the MAC address of
the ODU must be supplied.
Login ScreenThe new read only mode allows accessing the device for monitor andconfiguration display only. No changes to the device are available in
this mode. Only read-only community is required for this mode.
