allowed sway should be no more than 1/10th of

beam size at target.

Cables and Installation

IF cables from Horizon Qauntum modem to radio are 50 Ohm coaxial. Times Microwave LMR-

400/600/900 (and equivalents) can be ordered from DWI or vendors in 30, 60 and 90 meter lengths.

Grounding cables for radio chassis and DWI supplied surge arrestors: 6 AWG stranded bare copper.

System Capacity

Horizon Quantum throughput can reach 1.6 Gbps (over the air bandwidth), depending upon hardware

and configuration:

One IF connector: (includes IF combiner)

Two IF connectors (no IF combiner)

Two radio channels on each of two Horizon Quantum units results in1600 Mbps, when

using aggregation protocols or technology.

Note:

Horizon Quantum has a compression ratio of up 2.5:1 across a link. Therefore, with

compressible data, Horizon Quantum throughput can reach 4 Gbps, depending upon

hardware and system configuration.

CLI uses GET and SET commands or config wizards with interactive question/answer.

Full context sensitive help is available for all CLI commands. Type „?‟ followed by a partial

For example „? statistics‟ will provide all commands with the word „statistics'.

Pressing the TAB key after entering a partial command will complete the command if unique.

Up and down (↑ and ↓) arrow keys will recall previous CLI entries.

Switch

Unrecognized CLI commands will receive a NAK response.

(if req'd)

Issue „save mib‟ command to save the new settings to flash memory. Some changes require

the system to be reset to implement the new settings. („reset system‟ CLI command)

Web Interface (GUI) (must be enabled)

Enter the target system‟s IP address into web browser (Example: http://192.168.10.100)

Configuration Steps

Radio Band & System Mode is applied to both modems simultaneously with a single command.

Each modem supports its own frequency/channel and Tx Power (dual radio only)

NOTE: Switch ports must be properly configured in order to pass VLAN tagged traffic.

By default all ports are considered access Ports and will only allow untagged or VLAN ID 1.

Configure the system capacity

-get system capacity

-set system capacity <index> (setting single/dual modem or radio, or redundancy)

Note: For system capacities with „Dual Wireless Ports; a license key is required.

To check if the unit is shipped with the license key, „get licensed feature groups'.

Configure the Radio Band.

-set radio band <radio band>

Example: set radio band fcc11_a_30

Example: set radio band fcc23_2_50_R5 (23GHz B2 50MHz Channels – Quantum Radio)

Configure the System Mode. (Web: Basic Configuration page)

-set system mode <system mode> (used for setting speed and modulation)

Example: set system mode hz30_212_256qam (212 Mbps at 256QAM modulation)

Configure the frequency bank. (Web: Basic Configuration page)

-set frequency bank <txhigh/txlow>

Review available frequency pairs and indexes. (Web: Basic Configuration page)

-get frequency bank

Program transmit and receive frequency by index. (Web: Basic Configuration page)

-set programmed frequency <index>

-set programmed frequency <index> wireless_port2 (for dual modem)

Configure the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. (Web: Basic Configuration page)

Note: Selecting yes after either of these commands will apply the settings immediately.

-set ip address <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>

-set subnet mask <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>

-set default gateway <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>

Note: The user can select any user ports (P1 to P8) and data paths (DP1 to DP4) to manage the

system.

Configure the network management interface. (Web: Basic Configuration page)

set network management interface (interactive wizard)

By default the management interface is p3.

Note: By assigning the management ports as the ports belonging to an IPG the management traffic

can be isolated from other user traffic. (Out Of Band Management)

Configure Isolated Port Groups.

IPGs are used to interconnect multiple isolated networks by creating multiple switching domains.

-set ipg config <group name><enable|disable><port list>

Example:

In Band:

-set ipg config ipg5 enable p3,dp1

(enable ipg5 to correspond with port3 and dp1)

Out of Band:

-set ipg config ipg5 enable p3

(enable ipg5 to correspond with port3)

ipg = isolated port group (1-5) dp = data path (1-4).
