NOTE 2. Generally, a frequency range is provided in the planning document. Select all channels within the
frequency range.
1. Before selecting a working frequency, query the spectrum analysis result for the channel
performance of each frequency. 3. Downlink/Uplink Ratio: If this parameter is not set to flexible, enable GPS time synchronization
2. The spectrum analysis range is the same as that supported by the selected country code, and and set this parameter according to site requirements.
the scanned data is displayed in a certain step length. You can select the available frequency
band based on the maximum value indicated by the red line in the figure. A smaller value 3
indicates a smaller interference. 1

the DHCP client.
2. Set the gateway IP address, start IP address, and end IP address based on the network plan. The IP
2 address range determined by the start IP address and end IP address is the IP address range assigned
by the DHCP server to the DHCP client.
3. After DHCP is configured, the NE connection may be disconnected. Use the IP address newly allocated
by DHCP to log in to the NE again.

1. The default password is Changeme_123. The new password must comply with the
following rules: The password length is 8 to 63 characters containing at least three
types of the following characters: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and
special characters. In addition, the new password cannot contain empty spaces.
2. The SSID and password of the AP must be the same as those of the RT. You need to

18. Configuring SNMP Parameters (2)

NOTE
• Set NMS IP Address to the IP address of the SNMP server that uses these
communications parameters. If there are no restrictions on the IP address of the SNMP
server that accesses the NE, set this parameter to 0.0.0.0. However, setting the NMS
IP address to 0.0.0.0 causes certain security risks. Therefore, make sure that you know
the security risks when setting the NMS IP address to 0.0.0.0.
• If the NMS IP Address is set to 0.0.0.0, the NE does not support the Trap function.
• Verify Read/Write Permission, Read Community Name, and Write Community
Name of the SNMP server based on the network plan. Read/Write Permission, Read
Community Name, and Write Community Name must take the same values as the
right parameters set on the SNMP server.
• Set Report SDH Performance Trap, Report IP Performance Trap, and Report Alarm
Trap to Report if an SNMP server is required to automatically report trap packets when
the SDH performance crosses the threshold, the data performance crosses the
threshold, or an alarm is generated on a NE.
• It is recommended that Trap Port take the default value.
• Set the Report Traps Version parameter based on the SNMP protocol version running
on the SNMP server.

19. Querying the Link Status

After the antennas are adjusted and the microwave links are set up, you can query the
link status on the web server.
Check whether the transmit and receive power and MCS values meet the planning
requirements.
