Configuring a Microwave Link

A microwave link can be configured on a 7705 SAR-8 Shelf V2 or 7705 SAR-18 to support a microwave connection from ports 1 through 4 on a Packet Microwave Adapter card to an MPR-e radio that may be configured in standalone mode or Single Network Element (Single NE) mode.

Use the following CLI syntax to configure a microwave link (in the example, the MPR-e radios are configured in standalone mode):

CLI Syntax:

config# port mw-link-id
[no] shutdown
    mw
        [no] hold-time {up hold-time-up | down hold-time-down}
        [no] peer-discovery
        [no] protection 
        radio port-id main create
            [no] database filename
            name name-string
            standalone
            [no] tx-mute
        radio port-id spare create
            [no] database filename
            name name-string
            standalone
            [no] tx-mute
        [no] revert rps eps

The following CLI syntax shows an example of configuring a microwave link on the 7705 SAR-8 Shelf V2; the MPR-e radios are in standalone mode.

Example:

config# port mw-link-24
config>port# no shutdown
config>port# mw
config>port>mw# hold-time up 0 down 0
config>port>mw# no peer-discovery
config>port>mw# protection
config>port>mw# radio 1/2/3 main create
config>port>mw>radio# database mwLink1.tar
config>port>mw>radio# name radiomain
config>port>mw>radio# standalone
config>port>mw>radio# tx-mute
config>port>mw>radio# exit
config>port>mw# radio 1/2/3 spare create
config>port>mw>radio# database mwLink1.tar
config>port>mw>radio# name radiospare
config>port>mw>radio# standalone
config>port>mw>radio# tx-mute
config>port>mw>radio# exit
config>port>mw# revert rps eps
config>port>mw# exit
config>port# exit
