13. Connect the device to the network following the algorithms in the Device connection section. Then proceed to device alignment.
First, the horizontal alignment of the device is performed, then the vertical one. |
1. Be sure to perform the alignment alternately from both sides, based on the calculated signal level value obtained in the Installation recommendations section (it is required to get the closest possible value).
2. Adjust the position of the devices by directing the antennas approximately to each other, using maps and optical visibility (for example, using binoculars) to the opposite side.
With default settings, the client (STA) does not send a connection request, so to establish a connection, you first need to direct the access point (AP) to the client (STA). |
3. In case of establishing сonnection between the devices, sequentially align the devices, achieving a gradual increase in values on the RSSI scale (LED states are provided in the Light Indication section) in both vertical and horizontal planes.
4. In the horizontal plane, one side passes a sector of 45–60 degrees — fixes the maximum, the second side repeats the same action.
5. Next, perform the second pass according to the above scheme. Finally tighten the clamp on the bracket. It is necessary to take into account that during alignment, hitting the side lobe of the radiation pattern may be interpreted as reaching the maximum signal level. To avoid this situation, it is necessary to perform a full pass in the sector and note any nonlinear level changes.
6. Repeat steps 4–5 in the vertical plane. Fix the resulting tilt angle using screws on the chain.

5. Next, perform the second pass according to the above scheme. Finally tighten the clamps on the bracket unmovable part. It is necessary to take into account that during alignment, hitting the side lobe of the radiation pattern may be interpreted as reaching the maximum signal level. To avoid this situation, it is necessary to perform a full pass in the sector and note any nonlinear level changes.
6. In the vertical plane, repeat steps 4–5: rotate the device to the required angle, using "A" and "B" scales located on the bracket as a guide. The "A" scale represents the tilt angle of the parabolic antenna, while the "B" scale represents the elevation angle. Then fix the resulting angle using the screw on the chain.
Figure 32 — "A" and "B" scales on the movable part of the bracket
7. When setting the angle on the "A" scale from -10 to 5 degrees, it is recommended to additionally fix the movable part of the bracket with a second screw from the kit.

The availability control feature (ping watchdog) allows one to detect a loss of network connectivity and reboot the device or its interfaces without user intervention. When an interface restarts, the DHCP client on the current WAN interface also restarts.
WB-3P-PTP5(config):/ping-watchdog# enable true (enable ping watchdog. By default: false) |
| WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# reboot |
| WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# reboot delay X (where X — time in seconds after which the device will reboot in a delayed manner. Acceptable values: 0–86400) |
| WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# reboot at hh:mm:ss (where hh:mm:ss — time at which the scheduled reboot of the device will occur. Acceptable values: hh:mm, hh:mm:ss) |

The device has a factory account admin with the password password. This account cannot be deleted. The password can be changed using the commands below.
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# configure |
It is possible to create additional users for local authentication, as well as authentication via RADIUS.
New users should be assigned one of two roles: admin — a user with this role will have full access to configure and monitor the device; viewer — a user with this role will only have access to monitor the device. |
Creating additional users is performed with the following commands:
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# configure |
To authenticate via RADIUS server, access parameters should be configured:
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# configure |
With radius-local-fallback disabled, authorization occurs only via the RADIUS server. If the server is unavailable or the credentials are incorrect, authorization will fail. With radius-local-fallback enabled, if there is no connection to the RADIUS server, authorization can be performed using the local admin account. Authorization through other local accounts will fail. |
For authentication via RADIUS server, accounts with appropriate roles are created only on the server. On the RADIUS server, the Cisco-AVPair = "shell:role=<role>" attribute is used to configure account roles (where <role> is either admin or viewer). |
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# configure |
By default, only eth0 is considered a trusted port. |

While scanning the environment, the device radio interface will be disabled, which will make it impossible to transfer data to client devices during scanning. |

The spectrum analyzer provides information on channel congestion. The analysis time for all radio channels in the range is approximately 1.5 minutes.
While the spectrum analyzer is running, client devices disconnect. The client devices will only reconnect when the spectrum analyzer has finished its work. |
As a result of the spectrum analyzer operation, information about the load of each channel (in percent) will be displayed on the console:
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# monitoring spectrum-analyzer

The perftest utility performs a built-in radio link speed test.
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# configure |
The perftest utility can be run with the following commands:
perf-test station <MAC address of the remote device> downlink — run speed testing towards the remote device (Downlink) |
The manage-remote utility allows running commands from access point (AP) on client (STA).
These commands can be executed when there is no access to the client (STA) via IP address. |

The tcpdump utility allows capturing packets on the specified interface.
To get a hint on how to work with the utility use the command:
WB-3P-PTP5(config):/# tcpdump --help |
By default, the tcpdump utility is disabled. Before using this functionality, you must run the tcpdump command. This functionality is automatically disabled after a device reboot.
WB-3P-PTP5(config):/# tcpdump-enable |
WB-3P-PTP5(config):/# tcpdump-disable |
Capturing packets from the Ethernet interface.
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# tcpdump -i eth0 |
Capturing Ethernet interface packets and saving to file.
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# tcpdump -i eth0 -env -w tcpdump.pcap |
It is necessary to enable a special interface that captures packets from the air on the device working channel.
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# configure |
Capturing packets on the radio0 interface.
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# tcpdump -i radio0 |
Capturing packets on the radio0 interface and saving to file.
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# tcpdump -i radio0 -env -w tcpdump.pcap |
This command is executed on the server/PC.
| scp <User>@<IP address of the device>:tcpdump.pcap tcpdump.pcap (example: scp admin@192.168.1.15:tcpdump.pcap tcpdump.pcap) |
This utility is used to start a traffic flow from one device to another. The sending side is called the client, the receiving side is called the server.
To get a hint on how to work with the utility use the command:
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# iperf --help |
Example of starting a traffic flow from the device to the server:
root@server:/# iperf -s |
WB-3P-PTP5(root):/# iperf -c X.X.X.X (where X.X.X.X — IP address of the server) |
