Do not switch off or reboot the device during the firmware update. When you update the device from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0 firmware version, you should reset the device to factory settings and configure it once again according your requirements, or preliminary set signal power in Network–>Internet submenu as no more than 16 dBm.

The «Reboot» submenu

In the «Reboot» submenu you may reboot the device.

Click the «Reboot» button to reboot the device. Device reboot process takes approximately 1 minute to complete.

The «Autoprovisioning» submenu

In the «Autoprovisioning» submenu you may configure DHCP-based autoprovisioning algorithm and subscriber device automatic configuration protocol TR-069.

DHCP-based Autoprovisioning:

tftp://<server address>/<full path to cfg file>
where < server address > – TFTP server address (domain name or IPv4),
< full path to cfg file > – full path to configuration file on the server;

tftp://<server address>/<full path to firmware file>
where< server address > – TFTP server address (domain name or IPv4),
< full path to firmware file > – full path to configuration file on the server.

More detailed information on the algorithm see in section An algorithm of automatic update based on DHCP. 

Autoprovisioning via TR-069:

Common:

ACS Connection Request:

Client Connection Request:

NAT Settings:

If there is modification of network addresses between client and ACS server (NAT – network address translation), ACS server might not have the opportunity to establish connection with the client if certain technologies are not used to avoid it. The techologies help the client to define so called public address (NAT addresses – an address of external gateway, behind which the client is located). When the public address is defined, the client inform the server. Then, the server uses the public address (not the local) to establish connection with the client.

When STUN mode is selected you should configure the following settings:

When Manual mode is selected, client address is set manually in NAT Address parameter (the address should be set in IPv4 format).

Through TR-069, you may implement main configuration of the device, firmware update and reading the data on the device (firmware version, model, serial number, etc.), uploading/downloading of configuration file, remote reboot (TR-069, TR-098 specifications are supported).
To apply a new configuration and store settings into the non-volatile memory, click the 'Apply' button. To discard changes click the Cancel button.

The «Advanced» submenu

Use this menu to set reserved VLAN ID, enable UPnP and enable/disable Service Wi-Fi.

UPnP

UPnP is used by some applications (e.g. DC clients such as FlylinkDC++) to create forwarding rules for TCP/UDP ports used by these applications on a higher router. It is recommneded to enable UPnP for operation of file exchange services on a network.

Reserved VLAN ID

Reserved VLAN ID – the list of service VLANs, which are used for for solving intrasystem tasks.

When «Use Management VLAN» is checked and Management VLAN configured incorrectly, there is a posiibility of losing access to the device. The device will be available when connecting via Ethernet by address 192.0.3.1.

Service Wi-Fi

To apply a new configuration and store settings into the non-volatile memory, click the 'Apply' button. To discard changes click the Cancel button.

To avoid unauthorized access to the device, after aligning Wi-Fi, you should disable the Technological Wi-Fi

Configuration Example

  1. Connect PC to LAN port of injector;
  2. Enter IP address of the device to URL bar of a browser (192.168.1.1 by default, if address was not obtain via DHCP). When connection is established successfully, the window with Login and password fields will be displayed. Fill the filds and press «Log in». (By default, login: admin, password: password). 

If the window is not displayed make sure that the PC and the device are in the same network.


Implement configuration on Internet tile. In Network Mode field, select the required mode: Bridge or Router. If static settings are used for connection to a provider network, choose «Static» value in «Protocol» field and fill the fields: «IP address», «Netmask», «Default gateway», «Primary DNS Server», «Secondary DNS Server» – the values are given by service provider. 
Configure conection to a base station. Specify SSID of the wireless network, you want to connect to, in the corresponding field. Select security mode through which authentication in the selected wireless network is implemented and specify the key if using an encrypted network. After clicking on the 'Apply' button, the subscriber station will search for the specified SSID on the air and, upon detection, will attempt to connect to the base station with the specified parameters. If the parameters are specified correctly and the signal level is sufficient, a successful connection will occur.

 Spectrum Analyzer

To use the embedded spectrum analyzer on the WB-2P-LR5, you need to login to the device via telnet or ssh. Enter the spectrum-analyzer  command to run it. The analysis time for all the radio channels in the range is approximately 5 minutes.

Please note that all clients will disconnect from the base station during spectrum analyzer operation. The subscriber stations will be connected again only when the spectrum analyzer finishes its work.

The result can be obtained using the spectrum-analyzer-result command. Information on the loading of each channel (in percent) will be displayed in the console:

root@WB-2P-LR5:~$ spectrum-analyzer

Device automatic DHCP-based update algorithm

Device automatic update algorithm is defined by the «Parameters Priority from» value.

1.If the «Static settings» value is selected, then the full path (including access protocol and server address) to configuration file and firmware file will be defined by «Configuration file» and «Firmware file» Full path should be specified in URL format: 
<protocol>://<server address>/<path to file>, where

You may use the following macro in URL (reserved words substituted with the specific values):

For MAC address, serial number and model name, see «Device» section on the monitoring page.
URL examples:

tftp://download.server.loc/firmware.file, http://192.168.25.34/configs/WB-2P-LR5//my.cfg ,

tftp://server.tftp/$PN/config/$SN.cfg, http://server.http/$PN/firmware/$MA.frm etc.

Some URL parameters might be omitted. For example, configuration file may be specified in the following format:

http://192.168.18.6 
or 
config_wb.cfg

If the system is unable to extract the necessary file downloading parameters (protocol, server address or path to file on server) from configuration file or firmware file URL, it will attempt to extract an unknown parameter from DHCP Option 43 (Vendor specific info) or 66 (TFTP server) and 67 (Boot file name), when address obtaining via DHCP is enabled for the Internet service (DHCP option format and analysis will be provided below). If the system is unable to extract missing parameter from DHCP options, default value will be used:

Thus, if the 'Configuration File' and 'Firmware File' fields are left empty, options 43 or 66, 67 with the location of these files will not be received via DHCP — the URL of the configuration file will look like:

tftp://update.local/wb-2p-lr5.cfg ,
and the firmware file URL: 
tftp://update.local/wb-2p-lr5.fw .

2.If 'DHCP options' value is selected, configuration file and firmware file URLs will be extracted from DHCP Option 43 (Vendor specific info) or 66 (TFTP server) and 67 (Boot file name), thus, address obtaining via DHCP should be enabled for the Internet service (DHCP option format and analysis will be provided below). If URL parameters are not provided by DHCP options, default parameters values will be used:

Option 43 format (Vendor specific info)

1|<acs_url>|2|<pcode>|3|<username>|4|<password>|5|<server_url>|6|<config.file>|7|<firmware.file>|8|<vlan_tag>

1 – TR-069 autoconfiguration server address code;

2 – «Provisioning code» parameter specification code.

3 – code of the username for TR-069 server authorization;

4 – code of the password for TR-069 server authorization;

5 – server address code; server address is specified in URL format: tftp://address or http://address . The first version represents TFTP server address, the second version – HTTP server address;

6 – configuration file name code;

7 – firmware file name code;

8 – a code of VLAN tag for management;

«|» – mandatory separator used between codes and suboption values. 

Algorithm of identification for configuration file and firmware file URL parameters from DHCP Options 43 and 66, 67.

  1. DHCP exchange initialization
    Device initializes DHCP exchange after the startup.
  2. Option 43 analysis
    When Option 43 has been received, suboption 8 is analyzed (vlan_tag):

3. Option 66 analysis

If Option 43 is not received from DHCP server or it is received but the system fails to extract the server address, Option 66 will be searched. If the system fails to obtain the firmware file name, Option 67 will be searched. They are used for TFTP server address and the firmware file path extraction respectively. Then, configuration and firmware files will be downloaded from Option 66 address via TFTP.

Special aspects of configuration updates

Configuration file should be in .tar.gz format (this format is used when configuration is saved from the web interface in the «System» – «Configuration management» tab). Configuration downloaded from the server will be applied automatically and does not require device reboot.

Special aspects of firmware updates

Firmware file should be in .tar.gz format. When the firmware file is loaded, the device unpacks it and checks its version (using 'version' file in tar.gz archive). 

If the current firmware version matches the version of the file obtained via DHCP, firmware will not be updated. Update is performed only when firmware versions are mismatched. When the firmware image is written into the device flash memory, the Power indicator will flash green, orange and red in succession.

Do not power off or reboot the device, when the firmware image is written into the flash memory. These actions will interrupt the firmware update that will lead to the device boot partition corruption. The device will become inoperable. To restore the device operation, use the instruction provided in System recovering after firmware update failure.

System recovering after firmware update failure

If while the firmware update (through the web interface or through autoupdate mechanism based on DHCP) a failure occured (e.g. due to power cutoff) and the device does not operate (the «Power» indicator is constantly solid red), use the following algorithm to recover the device:

Appendix A. Launch user script when starting the system

Sometimes you need the device to implement certain actions when starting, which cannot be implemented through settings in configuration file. In this case you may configure a user script through a configuration file that will be launched when the system starting. You may set any needed commands sequence.

For user script launching, there is a settings section in the configuration file cfg.yaml:

UserScript: 
Enable: "0" 
URL: ""

Option «Enable» permits (if the value is 1) or forbids (if the value is 0) launch of the script, path to which is in URL parameter.

The userscript might be located on remote server as well as on the device. The script is loaded via HTTP or TFTP from remote server. Examples of configuration files for user script launching using different sources are given below:

  1. Launch from HTTP server
    To launch a script from HTTP server, enter the entire path to the file in HTTP-URL format to URL parameter: 
    URL: " http://192.168.0.250/user-script/script.sh "
    In this case, after the device started, file script.sh, which is kept in the catalogue having 192.168.0.250 address, will be automatically loaded via HTTP from the defined server. Then it will be launched.
  2. Launch from TFTP server
    To launch a script from TFTP server, enter the entire path to the file in TFTP-URL format to URL parameter: 
    URL: " tftp://192.168.0.250/user-script/script.sh "
    In this case, after the device started, file script.sh, which is kept in the catalogue having 192.168.0.250 address, will be automatically loaded via TFTP from the defined server. Then it will be launched.
  3. Local script launch
    Due to the peculiar properties of the file system, a local script should be stored in /etc/config catalogue as the content of the catalogue is saved after device reload. You may create script in /etc/config catalogue through vi editor or load it from TFTP server using tftp –gl sh <TFTP-server address> command. After creating a script, you should set rights for launching using the following command:
    chmod 777 /etc/config/user.sh
    In configuration file, URL for local script launching should be set as follows: 
    URL: "  File://etc/config/user.sh  " 

    A user script should start from the #!/bin/sh directive.
