1.3 Safety and Regulatory

1.3.1 United States of America
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all
phases of operation and service of the products covered in this manual.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings
elsewhere in this manual can void the warranty.

CAUTION
 Do not stand directly in front of an energized antenna.
 Do not install or operate the equipment in the presence of or
close to flammable fumes or gases. Operating any electrical
instrument in such an environment is a safety hazard.
 E-Band radios meet all applicable U.S.A. FCC safety requirements
for general population exposure to radio frequency emissions;
however, it is best to avoid prolonged, unnecessary exposure to
the waveguide opening while it is operating.
 Please refer to Articles 810 and 830 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, for installations in the U.S.A for
information regarding proper grounding and applicable lightning
protection for DC cables.
 Outdoor equipment must be properly grounded to provide
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. In
the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces (but does not
eliminate) the risk of electrical shock.
 Changes or modifications not expressly approved (in writing) by
E-Band’s Engineering and/or Product Management personnel can
void the warranty. For installations in all other countries,
implement protection in accordance with the safety standards
and regulatory requirements of the country where the equipment
is to be installed.

CAUTION Protection from Lightning

Article 810 of the US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook
1996 specifies that radio and television lead-in cables must have
adequate surge protection at or near the point of entry to the building.

6 of 56
 The code specifies that any shielded cable from an external antenna
must have the shield directly connected to a 10 AWG wire that
connects to the building ground electrode.
Protection from RF Emissions
CAUTION
It is hazardous to look into or stand in front of an active antenna
aperture. Do not stand in front of or look into an antenna without first
ensuring the associated transmitter or transmitters are switched off. Do
not look into the waveguide port of an ODU when the radio is active.
LASER SAFETY NOTICE
CAUTION
This product complies with CFR 1040.10, 1040.11 and EN (IEC) 60825-
1 regulations and safety standards. The product may include a Class 1
laser utilized as a fiber optic driver. Class 1 lasers do not emit radiation
at known hazardous levels.
However, it is recommended that maintenance or service personnel
should never look at an open fiber end or connector that is carrying a
live signal. During use, this optical fiber communications system is
completely enclosed except if an accidental break occurs in the system
cable, or if the patch cable becomes accidentally disconnected from the
demarcation box.
There are no controls or adjustments other than power ON/OFF that
may be accessed by the user.
 Risk of Personal Injury from Fiber Optics
 DANGER: Invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to
the end of a fiber, fiber cord, or fiber pigtail. The infrared light
used in fiber optics systems is invisible, but can cause serious
injury to the eye.
 WARNING: Never touch exposed fiber with any part of your body.
Fiber fragments can enter the skin and are difficult to detect and
remove.

CAUTION CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedure

other than those specified in this Manual may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.

5 Eagle - VLAN Management Configuration

5.1 Configuration Steps
5.1.1 Configuration of the Eagle’s management port can be achieved via the
use of a web browser session:
MS Internet Explorer
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox

Follow these steps to properly configure the management interface to

be access via a secure Virtual LAN or VLAN

Caution – Not following these steps exactly can cause loss of

communication with the radio which can only be recovered at the
factory.

5.1.2 The following example is based on Factory default IP addresses and the
PC used must be capable of VLAN tag functionality to complete the
configuration.

5.1.3 Access the Eagle radio using a web browser either using HTTP or HTTPs
session. The PC has to be configured to match the radio’s IP address
and subnet: 10.100.7.xxx, 255.255.255.0. (Do not use 10.100.7.247
or .248 as these addresses are used by the radio.)

Figure 5: Accessing Radio Management Using HTTP Session

5.1.4 A login prompt will be displayed by the browser.

 Select VLAN Membership

5.1.7.1 Configure the VLAN ID.

Select Add New VLAN button. Under VLAN ID insert ID number.

In this example 10 is used and under VLAN Name provide a
name for the VLAN. In this example Mgmt is used.

In this example, ports 1 and 4 are added for local access. Port 8
is also added for remote or access from the wireless. Selection
is accomplished by clicking on each of the boxes under Port
Members.

Complete configuration by click on the “Save” button

Do Not remove Port 1 from VLAN ID 1 membership. This will result in

losing communication with the radio’s management interface.

5.1.7.2 Configure VLAN Port type. Navigate to Switch>VLANs>Ports. The
VLAN Port Configuration is displayed.

Figure 7: VLAN Port Configuration

5.1.7.3 Configure Ports 1 and 4 as C-Port (VLAN aware).

5.1.7.4 Configure Port 8 to S-port. This port will work like a tunnel and allow
VLAN tag traffic as well as non-VLAN tag traffic to pass through the
wireless link.

5.1.7.5 Click the “Save” button to complete configuration.

Figure 8: VLAN ID 10 Port Setting Example

5.1.7.6 Configure the radio’s management port with VLAN ID 10. Navigate to
Switch>Configurations>System>IP. The IP Configuration is
displayed.

Figure 9: IP Configuration Settings

5.1.7.7 Access to the radio will be lost as the PC will not be on the same VLAN
as the radio. Verifying the VLAN ID change is operational a PC with a
network card capable of tagging frames with VLAN ID 10 is required.
Or a managed Ethernet switch capable of add VLAN tags to the traffic.
Once, the PC has been configured with the correct VLAN ID and/or
connected to the managed switch’s tagged port, just type in the new
IP address on the URL bar of the browser. Either the login prompt will
display or the “Port State Overview” page will display, confirming that
the changes were successful.

Figure 10: Port State Overview Page

37 of 56
5.1.7.8 Continue with the following setup procedure if Port 1 is only used for
management or access to VLAN ID 10.
Navigate to Switch>VLANs>VLAN Membership. The VLAN
Membership Configuration page opens:

Port 1 and 4 are removed from VLAN 1 membership

Figure 11: VLAN Port Membership Example

This step cannot be performed at the beginning of this procedure.

Once Port 1 is removed from VLAN ID 1 Membership, access to the
Eagle’s management port is lost. Therefore, this step is performed
after the management port of the Eagle is reconfigured to the new
VLAN ID and access to the management port is restored.

5.1.8 Repeat this process for all radios in the network using this VLAN ID or
tag.

6 QoS
This section describes how to set up Quality of Service parameters. Setting
QoS is important when using the E-Link Eagle’s ARM feature. Properly setting
QoS will keep vital services connected when the radios throughput is reduced
due weather events along the path. The following setup examples can be
used or any of the user accessible ports not just the port listed in the
example.

configured to screen for VLAN ID 1000 tag only traffic, with a frame
type IPv4 with DSCP specific of class 3 or 24 and placed under Class 3
or Queue 3 priority.

Figure 22: QCE with DSCP Screening

VLAN ID 1000 and port 4 must be configured before creating a

QCE for this ID and port. See section 6.2.2 and 6.2.3 for
information on how to properly configure VLANs.

6.3.2 Configure QoS with Priority change based on DSCP. In this example,
Port 4 will be configured to screen for VLAN ID 1000 tag only traffic, of
frame type IPv4 with DSCP specific to class 3 or 24 and it will be
redirected to higher priority queue of 5.

Figure 23: QCE with Queue Redirection

If your system will be handling other untagged traffic thru other ports,
it is recommended that Port 8 (or the wireless ports) should be added
to each QCE for better results.

UI Software Update Package

7.1.2 UI Update Methods

Two methods are available for updating the E-Link Eagle UI software:
1. Web GUI
2. Command Line

7.1.3 The UI software package is provided in two formats, a binary image

and a compressed image. The binary image is used when updating
through the Web UI. The compressed image is used when updating
through the Command Link Interface (CLI). Both images are provided
in the release package. Which method used for updating is left up to
the user.
The Web GUI update procedure immediately reboots the software when
the installation in complete and makes this the operating image.

The CLI update procedure loads the new UI into the standby memory
slot and the user determines when to activate the new UI.

7.2 Update Using Web GUI

7.2.1 Updating through the Web Interface
Updating the UI through the Web Interface requires an Ethernet
connection between the host PC and the E-Link Eagle requiring
an update. The UI software update package use the file
extension of “.dat”.

7.2.2 Procedure

7.2.2.1 An IP connection between the host PC and the target E-Link Eagle
radio. It is recommended but not necessary the host PC’s IP address
reside in the same IP subnet as the target radio for updating.

49 of 56
 The factory default IP addresses for the E-Link Eagle are:
Low Band: 10.100.7.247
High Band: 10.100.7.248
If the IP address of the target radio was previously changed, use
that address along with user ID and password where required.

7.2.2.2 Copy the new UI software package file to a known location on the host
PC. For example, copy the file to the PC’s desktop where the

7.2.2.3 Open a web browser on the host PC. Enter the IP address of the target
radio in the address bar of the browser.

 Figure 26: Firmware/Modem Update Progress Indication

7.3 Update Using Command Line Interface

7.3.1 This method requires a Telnet connection from the host PC to the radio.
In addition, a TFTP server is required to host the new UI package.

7.3.1.1 Copy the Eagle UI upgrade file to a known location on the host PC.
The upgrade file extension ends with “.gz”

7.3.1.2 Start a TFTP server (NBTFTP.exe) on the host PC.

7.3.1.3 Set the search directory of the TFTP server to the directory where the
upgrade software is located.

7.3.1.4 Open a Command window on the host PC.

7.3.2 Telnet to the target E-Link Eagle radio by typing at the system prompt:
C:\>telnet <ip_addr>

7.3.3 Connection should establish and the radio will respond with a request
for the Username. Enter “admin”. A request for password will follow.
The default password is <enter> or return on the PC keyboard.

7.3.4 The Eagle will send a message with the number of error entries in the
syslog and then display a prompt.

 Periodic Status
Message

Figure 27: CLI Periodic Status Message

7.3.4.1 In addition, the Eagle sends a periodic status message when

connected. This message is sent every minute. A sample message is
shown above. This message display can be disabled using the
following CLI commands. Disabling the periodic message reduces the
possibility of mistyping.

>debug trace module level eband_radi default none

>debug trace module level eband_fpga default none

7.3.4.2 The syntax for uploading the UI image uses the follow CLI command.
>debug firmware managed.bk <ip_addr of TFTP server> <file name:
Eaglexxx.gz>

For example:

>debug firmware load managed.bk 10.100.7.3 Eagle0004.gz

The command tells the radio software to load into the backup image memory
location the UI image available from the TFTP server located at 10.100.7.3
with the file name of Eagle0004.exe.

7.3.4.3 The radio will return the following message when the command is
executed:
Download “<filename>”, x,xxx,xxx bytes
Erasing image...
Programming image...
Programmed xxxxxxx bytes (checksum 0xxxxxx) to managed.bk – OK

53 of 56
 The time for this process is 3-5 minutes to complete.

7.3.4.4 After the software image upload is completed. Use a web browser
and log into the target radio using the IP address of the radio in the
URL bar. Navigate to Maintenance>Software>Image select and click
on Activate Alternate Image select. This command actives the
alternate image and places the active image in standby.

7.4 Update FPGA/Modem Firmware

7.4.1 Upgrading FPGA/CPU modem firmware uses requires the following:
 PC with Telnet services
 TFTP server on a PC that the Eagle radio has access
 FPGA/CPU modem firmware package

7.4.1.1 Start the TFTP server on a PC that the Eagle radio has access.

7.4.1.2 Copy new FPGA/CPU modem code to the TFTP server directory.

7.4.1.3 Start up a telnet session to the target Eagle radio.

>telnet [ip_addr]
Enter user name, (admin), and password, (enter or return), at the
prompts

7.4.1.4 Determine which of the three available memory locations will be used
to store the new code. Use the following command sequence to
determine which memory location is operational:
>upgrade cpu page

The Eagle radio will return one of the following string messages for
example:

>Upgrade cmd [x] succeeded with status 0x0

The value after the word status defines the operational firmware
Factory 0x0 = memory factory default
APP 1 0x4 = memory slot 1
APP 2 0x8 = memory slot 2
APP 3 0xc = memory slot 3

Value Description
0 no command
1 load app from DDR to flash

54 of 56
 2 reconfigure FPGA
3 status = startup reason
4 load app from flash to DDR
5 status = 1 if running app, 0 if factory
6 status = app start page
7 calculate CRCs of flash apps
8 last entry, number of commands
Table 3: CMD Parameters

7.4.1.5 Upload the new modem firmware using the following command
>upgrade tftp xfer [tftp_server ip_addr] [modem file name] [file
size] [file checksum]

If the command sequence is inputted correctly, the TFTP server will

upload the firmware to the radio.

After uploading the following message will be displayed at the system

prompt is displayed.

TFTP get from [ip_addr] [file name] passed length: [modem file

7.4.1.6 Commit the upload to flash memory type the following command
sequence
>upgrade cpu burn [x]

Where [x] = flash memory slot, x=1, 2, or 3.

Do not attempt to load into the operational memory slot as

determined in 7.4.1.4. If this slot is selected, upload will not commit
to flash memory.

The commit to flash memory will take 1 to 2 minutes. After the

commit is complete the radio will return the following sequence

Upgrade cmd [x] succeeded with status 0x0

cmd [x] is defined in Table 3: CMD Parameters
