10. Switch Port VLAN Configuration
– Use this command to define Ethernet ports as either Trunk or
Access.
A Trunk port will accept any packet with a VLAN identifier within a specified and configurable
range of values from 1 to 4094. Trunk ports will drop untagged packets, or those that are
outside of their configured VLAN, or trunk range.
An Access port may only accept untagged packets, and those with the configured access
VLAN identifier. Packets leaving an access port will be untagged.

Antenna Alignment
Perform rough alignment by eye, aligning the center
line of the mounting bracket to the far end.
Tighten down the mounting bracket. Loosen the Lock
Nuts for only one alignment direction at a time. (ex. If
performing azimuth alignment, loosen only the
Azimuth Lock Nuts.) This prevents unexpected
movements of the antenna. During both azimuth and
elevation adjustments it should be possible to
identify the main lobe, along with one or more side
lobes per side. Perform a check for the side lobes
(by panning) to ensure the main lobe has been identified and aligned to.
Enable Alignment:
set alignment [on | off] [wireless_port1 | wireless_port2] -tsecs
sets the antenna alignment mode On or Off for -t seconds (default is 7200 = 2 Hours).
Loosen the antenna mount fine azimuth
and elevation adjustment lock nuts.
Connect a voltmeter to the field
strength monitoring port (BNC) and
adjust the fine azimuth and elevation
adjustments for a maximum signal.
Identify all side lobes plus the main
lobe. Ensure that you are aimed at the
main signal lobe.
The final received signal strength
(RSL) should be within ±3 dB of the
link budget figure.
Once alignment is achieved, tighten the
lock nuts on the adjustment mechanisms.
Alignment Adjustment Sensitivity
When performing fine alignment adjustments it is important to rotate the adjustment nuts 1/10
th
of a
turn at a time between taking RSL readings.
The beam width of a Horizon Compact system is no greater than 2 degrees. One complete turn of a
fine adjustment nut moves the system through more than 1 degree. One complete turn can,
therefore, move right through the peak signal position.

Bandwidth Doubling
The Dual Polarity Radio Mount (DPRM) allows two Horizon Quantum units to mount onto a single
antenna, providing bandwidth doubling capabilities. One Horizon Quantum is horizontally polarized
and the second is vertically polarized.
For bandwidth doubling, each Horizon Quantum is fed up to 800 Mbps (2 modem cards) X
compression ratio (2.5 for example) = 2 Gbps from the network switch, enabling the wireless link to
carry up to 4 Gbps, full duplex, of user traffic. Radios can operate on different channel frequencies or,
utilizing XPIC, allows both radios to operate on the same channel frequency.
Redundancy
Redundancy capability is achieved with Horizon Quantum Dual
Modem variant connected to two radios. This functionality is
intended for use with a PSRM (coupler) connecting two radios to
a single antenna with common polarization. Alternatively, it
could be used with two radios connected to two antennas with
common polarization. This functionality will not work for links
which are cross-polarized.
Configure the system capacity (Web: Basic Configuration page)
-set system capacity 4 (Configure the redundancy)
-set redundancy installation rdrm_single_modem
(where only one radio is transmitting)
-set switching algorithm < manual/algorithm based>
for algorithm based method, switching will occur
automatically when a detectable problem occurs if the mate
has no detectable problems.
for manual, no switching will occur except when we initiate a switch radio (web/cli)
- set redundancy primary wireless port <wirless_port1 / wireless-port2>

Firmware Upgrades
Note : You must commit the software bank prior to loading any software.
- commit
-copy ftp:[filename] filename must remain unchanged [in a proper format]
ie, frequencyFileHzQtm_1.00.00.txt
Warning : Your software bank [active or not] contains your mib (configuration). Failure to commit
prior to swapping banks may result in an older or unknown configuration being applied to
your system.

Troubleshooting
1
st
step: run Merlin diagnostics
Alarms: Check alarms. No alarms should be present.
Modem Receiver Loss of Signal = no signal being received from the far end.
Radio Mismatch = incorrect radio band/type configured,
TxH / TxL reversed, or SP/HP system mode incorrect
Ethernet Link Down = no connectivity on Ethernet link
Modem Hardware Fault = replace Horizon Quantum IDU unit
Radio Power Amp = replace Quantum/DUO radio unit
Synthesizer Unlock = replace Quantum/DUO radio unit if alarm is persistent.
RSL Issues:
Mismatched RSL between endpoints
-
one endpoint at target RSL, other endpoint low RSL: use RF loopback feature to determine
if Transmitter at one end, or Receiver at other end is at fault.
- Verify both ends are receiving DC power
Low RSL both endpoints
-
Verify clear LOS exists / Verify alignment / Verify Transmit power at both ends
- Link fade? Polarization is the same at both ends?
Poor RF Signal Quality:
-
See parameters in “Indications of a Properly Operating Link”
Packet Loss, Poor Throughput, Loss of IP Connectivity:
- check RF signal quality
- check for mismatched modulation between endpoints
- check Ethernet switch traffic statistics at both ends of the link
- verify Ethernet speed and duplex settings
- check integrity of Ethernet cables
- check COS/QOS settings
