Chapt er 2. Tool s & Feat ur es
The following is an overview of some tools and features that are used in the
TRuepoint system and software.
Sy st em Conf i gur at i on/ Management
Web- CI T
The TRuepoint Web- CI T provides for configuration, control, and administration of
the radio as well as a display for alarms via an embedded web interface. The Web- CI T
is available with a direct connection or remotely through the customers TCP/ IP
network, and displays the current status of both the local and remote units.
The Web-CIT has five main sections:
Fault Management
Configuration
Administration
Performance
Security
Har r i s St r at ex Net w or k s Key pad or VT- 100 Ter mi nal
The Harris Stratex Networks Keypad/ Hand Held Terminal (HHT) provides for the
configuration of the radio as well as a display for alarms. The same functionality is
available using VT-100 emulation on a standard PC terminal.
You can use the Keypad or a VT-100 terminal to:
Configure and control the system
Review system status
Review system alarms
Implement password control
E- Key pad
E-Keypad is an application that can be used alone or integrated within the FarScan
software running on a PC. This application displays a pop-up window that shows the
HHT, allowing a user from a given site to control and monitor a remote TRuepoint
5000 radio, or any other radio that supports the ESCAN protocol on a Harris Stratex
Networks Microwave network.
2- 2 Har r i s St r at ex Net w or k s
Chapt er 2. Tool s & Feat ur es
Net com
The Netcom protocol carries information inside a Harris Stratex Networks equipment
network. Its minimum capacity (or bandwidth) allocated in the overhead of the radio
is 6 x 64 kbit/ s = 384 kbit/ s (depending on the capacity of the radio) up to 8 x 64 kbit/
s + 20 kbit/ s = 532 kbit/ s for higher bit rates (3DS3).
This protocol encapsulates all the functions such as SCAN (System Control and Alarm
Network), Network Management, O/ W, and Data Channel. The payload or bandwidth
is dynamically allocated to any of these services; this means that if the O/ W and 19.2
kbit/ s data channels are not used this capacity is then allocated to Netcom to assign to
the remaining services such as NMS or SCAN. This will increase the speed of the
Network Management System and SCAN.
Netcom is carried in the auxiliary channel of the RF link (radio overhead, except in the
case of SONET and SDH). On that link, it is encapsulated in HDLC-like frames.
The physical interface of Netcom is available on the two Ethernet (repeater) 10/ 100
Base-T ports to connect to other Harris Stratex Networks equipment. The two
connectors allow for daisy chain and NMS connections.
Netcom is available over HDLC links (HDLC Port) as well to connect to MicroStar
equipment and supports the following applications:
Local and remote login
SCAN
IP and ARP
Data Channel
Service channel digital bridge
Object exchange
Orderwire signalling
Network topology
Net Boss XE
NetBoss XE provides a cost effective, robust solution for managing network elements
such as the Harris Stratex Networks TRuepoint
radios.
NetBoss XE features include:
Comprehensive graphical microwave network map view, easily customized with your
choice of background map

Figure 3- 1 shows the connections that can be made to control and monitor the
equipment.
The Web- CI T is the preferred method and uses a 10/ 100 Base-T ethernet connection;
there are two provided allowing for a repeater configuration. For instructions on how
to use the Web- CI T please turn to page 3- 7.
The Harris Stratex Networks Keypad/ Hand-Held Terminal or another VT-100
compatible terminal connects to the radio via the RS-232 Port 2. If you are using
FarScan to monitor legacy equipment, it connects through Port 1.

Usi ng t he hand- hel d/ VT- 100 t er mi nal
The hand-held terminal/ Harris Stratex Networks keypad or any other VT-100
compatible terminal interacts with the embedded control software in the radio and
connects to the radio through Port 2 on the Controller module. Once connected, a user
will see a number of menus and managed object screens that are linked together in a
tree. The operator uses key strokes to move from menu to menu and to change
parameters. To order a Harris Stratex Networks keypad, see the part list in the S PU
I n s t a lla t i on manual, IMN-903002-Exx.

Hand- Hel d Ter mi nal Uni t ( HHT)
Connect the HHT to Port 2 on the IDU as shown in Figure 3- 1.
As shown in Figure 3- 2, the HHT has an 11-key keypad, four function keys, and a
4-line by 20-column alphanumeric readout (display).
The numeric keys (keys 0 through 9) are used for keying in numeric values. They are
also used for the following functions:
The 2, 4, 6, and 8 numeric keys are also used as arrow keys and are used to scroll up
(8 key), down (2 key), page-up (4 key), and page-down (6 key) through the menus.
Page-up and page-down move the display four lines up and down respectively.

E The theoretical throughput corresponds to:
Example => Lets calculate using the largest possible frame size:
= 99.73 Mbps
F Measured Data
The values in column F will differ if the method of test is different. If using an
application tool such as Netperf, the measured throughput will be lower. Figure B- 14
clearly segments the different fields. An application tool measures the effective
throughput of the User Data field, or in other words the payload.
The TCP/ IP Maximum Segment Size (MSS) is the largest amount of data, specified in
bytes, that a computer or communications device can handle in a single,
un-fragmented piece. The default MSS is 1460 byte.
In conclusion the maximum TCP/ IP throughput achievable with any benchmark tool
(ex: Netperf) is:
1460 byte/ 1538 byte * 99.73 Mb/ s= 94.62 Mb/ s
Since this value depends on many parameters like the processing power of the CPU, the
Ethernet line Interface card, etc., the Netperf test objective should be around 90 Mb/ s.
