    1921Each campus can have up to 127 basestations (each BS needs two addresses) and/or multiple ASN gateways. The basestations are assigned OIDs and IPs starting from 1 and counting up while ASN gateway machines are assigned IP addresses that are assigned starting from 254 and counting down. For example, first basestation in WINLAB gets IP address on primary controller of 10.3.0.1 and the IP address for the networking card of 10.3.0.2 while the gateway machine gets 10.3.0.254

     209
     210Once you untar and enter in the SAMrb directory you can edit the file SimpleAuthManager.rb.
     211
     212In this file please change the following to reflect your network settings:
     2131. The $ips hash table should be updated to include your client mac to IP mapping.
     2142. The $def_gw = "10.41.0.1"   and $net_mask = "255.255.0.0" settings should be used to reflect the CSN side settings.

     219Configuration of software both for the ASN-GW and the WiMAX BTS is done through a single yaml configuration file on the ASN.
     220
     221To enable the features we will need to copy the '''wimaxrf.yaml''' from '''/etc/omf-aggmgr-5.2/available''' to '''/etc/omf-aggmgr-5.2/enabled/'''.

     279This is an output file which shows the mapping of the client MAC address to the uplink and downlink GRE tunnel. This file does not need any configuration.

     317== Testing ==
     318
     319=== Simple Checks ===
     320
     321A few simple checks to make sure things are working:
     322 1. You should be able to ping the Base Station, it was assigned the fixed IP 192.168.1.10.
     323 1. Some log files should start filling up in '''/var/log''':
     324  1. asnctrl.log
     325  1. epctrl.log
     326 1. There should also be a green light on the IDU after a software power cycle of the IDU. The software power cycle can be preformed by the following commands:
     327    {{{
     328    /etc/init.d/asn-gw stop
     329    /etc/init.d/asn-gw start
     330    }}}
     331 1. There should be 3 running processes:
     332    {{{
     333    root      3128     1  0 19:10 ?        00:00:00 trapctrl
     334    root      3137     1  0 19:10 ?        00:00:02 asnctrl
     335    root      3227     1  0 19:10 ?        00:00:02 epctrl
     336    }}}
     337
     338
     339=== Prerequisites ===
     340
     3411. Confirm that all hardware and software has been properly installed.
     342
     343
     344=== Hardware connectivity check ===
     345
     346Login through the console on the ASN-GW and test the following.
     347
     3481. Is the BTS is reachable from the ASN-GW. with the default IP setting
     349    - ping the BTS interface
     350    - measure the round trip times
     351
     3522. Power cycle the BTS through the use of stop and start scripts.
     353   - Perform a hard reset if required (if updated parameter values are not reflected).
     354
     3553. Ping the outside interface and see if the DMZ gateway is reachable from the ASN-GW
     356
     357After successful completion we know that the ASN is able to send traffic both downlink to the IDU
     358and outbound towards the internet.
     359
     360=== Test the RF Transmission ===
     361
     3621. Scan on the client and check if the basestation's signal is seen using the procedure described below. If we are able to connect step 2 can be ignored. Else try step 2.
     363
     364Configure driver at the client to ensure all required parameters are configured correctly.
     365   - Change the /etc/asnctrl_service_class.conf to include client and service class information.
     366   - possibly include SSID to match with the BTS
     367   - Check center frequency to match with the BTS
     368   - Enable (locks) if any
     369   - Disable wifi if operating on a dual mode card (since quite a few times they work in a mutually exclusive mode)
     370   - Enable a static IP setting at the client to allow for baseline IP connectivity
     371
     372
     3732. If possible sweep the spectrum through an analyzer to determine proper transmission at the center frequency.
     374   - Vary transmit power at the BTS using wiset calls on the BTS or through the web interface and then measure the corresponding changes on the analyzer.
