ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Startup screen • Install ORiNOCO OR Manager on Windows 95, 98 or NT4 machine(running the setup routine) • Will create a Program menu item for easy activation • Will be used for • Configuration • Monitoring bridges • Analyzing links • Upgrading bridge Software

  18. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - File menu • “Open Config File…” loads a file from disk • “Open Remote Config…” accesses a Outdoor Router to obtain its configuration data • “Save Config” returns the file from memory to the place where it came from • “Save Config As..” makes a disk copy of the config file • “Import Config File…” inserts a configuration set in a loaded file in memory • “Upload Software...” loads a new bin file in the AP-1000 (WP-IIE)

  19. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Setup Menu • Becomes available when a config file has been obtained

  20. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Monitor Menu • Monitoring allows the user to assess statistics maintained by a specifically identified Outdoor Router device • Requires selection of a device (or by loading its config file)

  21. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Analyze Menu • Allows execution of a wireless link test between an Outdoor Router and any wirelessly connected device • Requires selection of a device (or by loading its config file)

  22. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - to access a device • ORiNOCO OR Manager station and device to be accessed need to be in the same subnet • Check TCP/IP settings of Notebook with ORiNOCO PC Card or Ethernet Adapter • Default IP address of AP-1000 (WP-IIE) is 153.69.254.254 • Option to change IP address of ORiNOCO Outdoor Router on first scan

  23. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - General Setup • Do not check “Enable IP Routing” if only bridging is required • Not checking “Enable IP Routing” leaves the “General Setup Menu” as is: • “IP Setup” is available

  24. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - IP setup • IP address of Outdoor Router can be assigned manually or by DHCP

  25. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - General Setup • Check “Enable IP Routing” when the device is used as Router • Checking “Enable IP Routing” changes the “General Setup Menu”: • “IP Setup” is becomes IP Router Setup

  26. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Router setup • IP address of the Outdoor Router can be entered as “Preferred IP Address”

  27. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Interface setup • To identify which interfaces are active • To set the parameters for the Network Interface devices (Ethernet and ORiNOCO PC Card) • If Firewall is implemented, check the “Remote” checkbox for traffic from beyond the firewall • Transmit rate limit can be identified for each I/F (throttling).

  28. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Station setup • Station selection is made after selecting on of the wireless interfaces • Depending on license keys different selections are possible: • Point-to-multipoint license: • Central Outdoor Router • Remote Outdoor Router (Slave) • Point-to-point license • Remote Outdoor Router (Master) • Remote Outdoor Router (Slave) • Protocol filtering options only present for COR

  30. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Wireless setup • After selecting a wireless interface changes can be made to: • Frequency (channel); number of channels available depend on country • Link speed, High to Low (11 Mbps to 1 Mbps) • Encryption (depending on type of card can be 64 WEP or 128 RC4) • When multiple CORs are deployed in same area, Network IDs are needed to logically separate them (0-15) • Clicking Advanced in “OR” Mode differs from AP Mode

  31. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Bridge setup • Bridge Setup menu is available if Bridging is selected in “General Setup” • To increase performance protocol filtering can be applied. • If needed Address Pairs can be added to block traffic between two MAC addresses. • Storm thresholds can be set to indicate the level above which traffic will be filtered

  32. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Protocol filtering • Clicking “Edit” on Bridge Setup present a list of protocols that can be filtered • If protocols are not in the list they can be added by pressing “custom” • When selected the protocol can be identified as “denied” or “bridged”

  33. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Routing table setup • Routing tables need to be set up to transport packets between sub-nets. • Subnets are specified as either “directly” connected to the OR or “indirect” • For each active interface an “direct entry” is made specifying the base IP address of the directly connected sub-net • The “Interface/Cost” portion of the entry indicates the interface number

  34. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterORiNOCO OR Manager - Routing table setup • Sub-nets not directly connected are entered as “indirect entry” • Indirect entries are routed via a target router that is on one of the direct connected sub-nets • The “Interface/Cost” portion of the indirect entry entry indicates the path cost metric

  44. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterSoftware - Outdoor Router Client Software includes: • Outdoor Router driver to install on desktop/laptop PC, operating with ORNICO PC Card • Downloadable from web-site • Protected by license • Customer (I.e. ISP) buys a license (gets a number), to use software • Requires specification of bandwidth to be used (64, 128, 256, 384, 512, 1024 Kbps) • Using the number a license key (and MAC address of PC Card) can be obtained

  45. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterOutdoor Router Client Installation • Installing the Outdoor Router Client (ORC) requires: • Desktop or laptop computer with running Windows (95/98/NT4/2000) • ORiNOCO NIC (PC Card, PCI Card, ISA Card) • ORC Software License • ORC Software (downloaded from web site) • Antenna system • Inserting the NIC in the platform computer triggers Windows hardware detect process • Follow the instructions on screen and where requested insert the disk with the ORC software (or direct Windows to the location where the ORC software is stored)

  46. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterOutdoor Router Client Installation When Windows has located the ORC driver the following screen is shown: • License Number: the number obtained via the license key process • Pass Phrase: The key used during the registration process should match the Pass Phrase entered on the COR (System Access Setup) • Data Rate: Value indicated by the license agreement • Frequency Channel: match the choice on the COR • Network ID: match the choice on the COR • Transmit Rate: same as choice on the COR

  47. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterAntenna installation - Guidelines • Planning • Calculate distance • Determine required antenna • Determine antenna position • Installing • Bridge systems (ORiNOCO Outdoor Router) • Antenna mounting • Aligning • Maintenance • Monitoring / trouble shooting

  48. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterAntenna alignment (directional antennas) • If stations see each other: • Line up based on sight • Assure both horizontal and vertical alignment • Align both antenna’s • If stations cannot see each other: • Use GPS and map to establish the vectors • Use compass to align the antennas according to the vectors • Move the antenna’s until link is good or acceptable • Align both antenna’s

  49. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterAntenna alignment (directional antennas) • Run SW tools to fine tune the alignment • ORiNOCO OR Manager’s remote point to point • Move the antenna’s until link is good or acceptable

  50. ORiNOCO Outdoor RouterAntenna installation -Tools to use • To select proper antenna, use • ORiNOCO Outdoor Router range Calculation spreadsheet • To line up directional antenna’s use: • GPS to identify exact co-ordinates of locations (for larger distances • Use compass and map to identify vector between both buildings • Use ORiNOCO OR Manager running on a notebook with ORiNOCO PC Card PCMCIA, to test the link • Use the Antenna Alignment function of the ORiNOCO OR Manager program • (Hand) phones to communicate between the installation staff which are at each side of the link • Use IP tools to verify station to station connection
