Chapter
1
IntelliSite Repeater Site Configuration
Overview
This chapter contains information on

• "System Configuration Parameters" on page 1-1
• "Equipment and Software Requirements" on page 1-2
System Configuration Parameters
The System Configuration Guide for your ASTRO® 25 Release 6.1 system, together with any associated
documentation, outlines the configuration and programming parameters for the devices installed at the
IntelliSite® Repeater site. These documents, taken together, list the settings for all parameters of the
Configuration/Service Software for the IntelliSite Repeater sites in your system.
Using the system documentation as your programming reference ensures that you will program
the IntelliSite Repeater Sites to a known baseline.
Do not deviate from the specified settings contained in your system documentation without
following the change procedures for your organization.
Document all changes according to your organizations change procedures. Failing to
document changes or not following proper change procedures makes troubleshooting
more difficult when a problem arises.
Parameter Settings Categories
The two categories of parameter settings are:

• "Federal, State, and Local Parameters" on page 1-2
• "ASTRO 25 Release 6.1 IntelliSite Repeater Design Parameters" on page 1-2
68P81005Y52-O November 2002 1-1

Federal, State, and Local Parameters Chapter 1: IntelliSite Repeater Site Configuration Overview
Federal, State, and Local Parameters
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), together with your state or local frequency coordinators,
determines the frequencies your system will use and which sites get specific frequencies.
Setting the frequencies incorrectly can lead to interference within your system and other systems in your
region. There are also legal ramifications if you do not use the FCC-mandated frequencies.
ASTRO 25 Release 6.1 IntelliSite Repeater Design Parameters
The ASTRO 25 Release 6.1 IntelliSite Repeater design requires certain settings for proper operation
of your system, as described in your site documentation.
If these parameters are not set correctly, your equipment will not operate as planned.
For example, the specifications may require setting the Control Channel Capability to Enable. Setting
the Control Channel Capability to Disable would reduce the availability of potential control channels in
the event of a control channel failure (but not necessarily inhibit site operation).
Equipment and Software Requirements
This section details the specifications for the equipment, software, and documents you
need to configure the IntelliSite Repeater site.
Equipment
You must have the following equipment in order to program your IntelliSite Repeaters and the
site network transport equipment at an IntelliSite Repeater site:

The settings shown in some of the tables, such as Table 2-2, Table 2-3, or Table 2-5, and in the CSS
windows (for System, Zone, Zone IP Address and most Site window values) include parameters which are
“manager-owned.” This means that any values set using the CSS application will be overwritten by the Network
Manager settings when the IntelliSite Repeater Site establishes a connection with the Master Site, and the Master
Site downloads the channel parameters. Manager-owned parameters are marked with an asterisk (*).
When you first set up the IntelliSite Repeater site, the site is not connected to the master site. During the setup,
you enter all of the parameters, which are included in your System Configuration Guide. When the site is
configured and online, it will open in site trunking using the parameters you entered. When the site connects to
the Master site, the Network Manager program overwrites the parameters that the Network Manager owns.
If you try to write a new configuration value to any parameter marked with an asterisk, the Network Manager
will compare the new settings against the settings in the corresponding database file, determine that one or more
values have been changed, and will then overwrite those parameter values with the values from the database.

Device-Owned Parameters
Parameters not marked with asterisks are owned by the device. You may change device-owned
parameters at any time, using the CSS. The Network Manager will detect that a new configuration
file has been written to a device and will capture the new parameter values in its local database, but
will not overwrite the parameter values in the device. Changes to device-owned parameters must
be in accordance with your System Configuration Guide documentation.

Other Band Trunking (OBT) Configuration Chapter 2: Configuration Processes and Procedures
Other Band Trunking (OBT) Configuration
Trunking systems typically use a standard 800 MHz full range of frequencies. Other band trunking uses
frequencies outside of this standard trunking range. In this release, a system can have radios and other
resources that operate on another frequency besides 800 MHz. These other frequency ranges are:
• VHF (136-174 MHz)
• UHF (380-470 MHz and 450-520 MHz)
The standardization of 800 MHz includes the arrangement of assigned channel numbers to each frequency in the
range. This means that a frequency band plan has already been created and followed for 800 MHz.
Because other frequency bands outside of the 800 MHz range use a wide variety of channel pairings for transmit
and receive frequencies, however, a prearranged channel-to-frequency standard cannot be applied. You must
create a frequency band plan specifically for the transmit and receive frequencies in your system.
The frequency band plan identifies a channel and lists the frequency information for that channel.
The radio users reference the channel and can determine all of the frequency information from
the band plan for using the channel in trunked communications.
Subscribers and resources, such as channels, that use other frequency bands need to be configured in the
system. Infrastructure devices need to have other band trunking resources identified in their database
so they can correctly assign resources when a radio trunking call requests to use other band trunking
frequencies. If the system contains resources that use sub-band frequencies, you must flag channels that
are used for Sub-band Restricted subscribers. Process 2-1 shows the high-level process for configuring
an ASTRO 25 system for other band trunking and sub-band capable resources.
Only IntelliSite Repeater sites are configured with other band trunking information. This release
does not allow Simulcast subsystems or IntelliRepeater sites to use other band trunking.

IntelliSite Hardware and Software Configuration Other Band Trunking (OBT) Configuration
An ASTRO 25 SE system does not contain IntelliRepeater sites.

Process 2-1 Configuring Other Band Trunking and Sub-Band Capabilities
1 Create a fleetmap for the system, which includes a frequency band plan for the
use of other band trunking.
If you have sub-band frequencies in the system, the map should

include information for sub-band capable channels and subscribers.
2 Generate an output from the fleetmap and frequency band plan to configure
subscribers and infrastructure devices in the system. This output contains the
information you need to completely configure the system to work with other band
trunking. This information includes:
• Transmit frequency
• Receive frequency
• Identifier for each channel
• Base frequency at each site
• Channel spacing
• Tx/Rx Offset Receive bandwidth
• Blocks of restricted radio IDs and talkgroup IDs (for Sub-band Restricted
configuration)
• Channels that use sub-band frequency ranges
• Channels that use sub-band frequency ranges
3 Program subscribers with fleetmap and frequency band plan information using
the Customer Programming Software (CPS).
You can create a template for each type of user to make the
configuration and programming process easier.
4 Configure the Private Site Controller 9600 (PSC 9600) at each IntelliSite
Repeater site using Configuration/Service Software (CSS). You must configure
all of the System, Zone, and Site windows, including the Other Band Trunking
window. The Sub-Band window configures all sub-band resources at the site. See
"Configuring the PSC 9600 for Other Band Trunking" on page 2-16 or the PSC
9600 online help that is available with the CSS after you read from the device for
more details on how to configure this site controller.

Adding a New Band Plan Element Chapter 2: Configuration Processes and Procedures
Adding a New Band Plan Element

You can add new elements to a frequency band plan as long as you do not change any existing
elements in the plan. Adding a new element does require careful planning and execution in a live
system to successfully update the system with the new resources.
UHF and VHF bands use a random frequency pairing and most likely will
require band plan element changes.
If you need to change any elements in the band plan, see "Changing a Band
Plan Element" on page 2-36.
• Process 2-2 gives the high-level process for adding a new element to your band plan.
• Process 2-3 gives the high-level process for changing an element in your band plan.
Process 2-2 Adding a New Band Plan Element (High Level Process)
1 Create a Frequency Band Plan. Consult your Motorola Field Engineering

Representative for assistance with the band plan.
2 In the fleetmap, be sure to reserve individual IDs and talkgroup IDs that will be
enabled for other band trunking. See your system fleetmap for these IDs.
3 Enter all individual and talkgroup IDs in the User Configuration Server (UCS)
database through the User Configuration Manager (UCM).
See Volume 3, Managing Radio Users for more information on entering these IDs.
You must ensure that the start and end ranges for
all individual and talkgroup IDs fall within the ranges
specified in the Home Zone mapping object in the Zone
Configuration Manager (ZCM). Improper mapping can
result in inoperable subscribers.
4 Enter the new band element information into the appropriate subscriber templates
using the Customer Programming Software (CPS).
See the CPS specific to your subscribers
5 Enter the new band element information and channel information into the PSC
9600 site controller archive file using the Configuration/Service Software (CSS).
See the PSC 9600 online help, which is available from the application after you
read from one of the PSC 9600 at the site.

6 Program the following in any order you prefer:
• New identifier information into all subscribers on the system using the
templates updated in step 4. See the CPS specific to your subscribers.
You must reprogram all subscribers, including those held as

spares or reserves, before the subscribers can use the system.
• New identifier information into the PSC 9600 site controllers at the sites
using the archive file updated in step 5.
See the PSC 9600 online help, which is available from the application after
you read from one of the PSC 9600 at the site.
7 Configure all new channel information through the Zone Configuration Manager
(ZCM).
See Volume 3, Managing Zone Infrastructure for more information on entering
this information.
For Sub-band Restricted channels, be sure to set the Sub-band

Restricted field on the channel object to Yes.
8 Bring all new or added channels into service. See Volume 3, Managing Zone
Infrastructure for more information on adding a channel.
You can bring channels into service after the sites have been prepared
to identify the new channels and the subscribers have been prepared
to read the new channel identifiers.
Procedure 2-11 How to Add a New Band Plan Element
1 Determine the following for the new element:

• Base frequency
• Receive bandwidth
• Channel spacing
• Tx/Rx offset
2 Create any new templates for subscribers and other system devices.

4 Configure the Other Band Trunking window in the PSC 9600 site controllers at the sites using
Configuration Service/Software (CSS). See the PSC 9600 Online Help for more details on how to
configure the Other Band Trunking window.
5 Configure any new channels through the Zone Configuration Manager (ZCM) to indicate if
they are sub-band capable.
6 Configure any new subscribers, talkgroups, and multigroups through the User Configuration
Manager (UCM). This includes entering radio IDs and talkgroup IDs for the Sub-Band Restricted
window, if necessary. See Volume 3, Managing Zone Infrastructure.
7 Bring any new channels into service on the system.
Changing a Band Plan Element

You must change the band plan whenever you add a new trunking channel or modify an existing
channel that affects the channelization plan of the system. All changes must be made in a
specific order to minimize possible problems with the system.
Making changes to the band plan for a live system will disrupt system
operations. Any affected channels will need to be removed from service for
reprogramming. All subscribers will need to be reprogrammed to include any
band plan changes. If you make changes to the band plan that move or delete
elements, subscribers could reference the wrong frequency for either a traffic
channel or a control channel. These subscribers would be unable to affiliate
and would not be able to communicate on the system.
Process 2-3 lists the high-level process to change an element in your band plan.
Process 2-3 Changing a Band Plan Element
1 Determine the following for the new or changing element:

• Base frequency
• Receive bandwidth
• Channel spacing
• Tx/Rx offset
See your Motorola Field Engineering Representative for assistance to identify these properties.
2 Create new templates for subscribers to include changes to the identified band elements using
the Customer Programming Software (CPS).
See the CPS specific to your subscribers.
3 Create a new archive for the PSC 9600 to include changes to the identified band plan elements
using the CSS.
See the PSC 9600 online help, which is available from the application after you read from one
of the PSC 9600 at the site.

IntelliSite Hardware and Software Configuration Changing a Band Plan Element
Process 2-3 Changing a Band Plan Element (Continued)

4 Identify all channels that use the identifiers being changed in the frequency band plan.
An identifier is associated with one or more channels in the system. This association was
established when the system was originally configured.
5 Ensure that all sites can maintain service during a band plan update.
This means that any affected control channels should be rolled to another channel that does
not require an update.
Changing the identifier for a primary control channel that is currently in use can
cause serious system disruptions since the channel needs to be temporarily removed
from service to update the channel information.
6 Take all affected channels out of service at the sites.
It is critical that all channels requiring a change be removed from service so they
are not recognized at their site or at any adjacent sites.
7 Reprogram the following in any order that you prefer:
• New identifier information into all subscribers on the system using the templates created
in step 2.
See the CPS specific to your subscribers.
You must reprogram all subscribers, including those held as spares or reserves,
before the subscribers can use the system.
• New identifier information into the PSC 9600 site controllers at the sites using the archive
file created in step 3.
8 Configure any new channels or update any existing channels for the affected sites through the
Zone Configuration Manager (ZCM). See
See Volume 3, Managing Zone Infrastructure, for more information on entering this
information.
For Sub-band Restricted channels, be sure to set the Sub-band Restricted field
on the channel object to Yes.
68P81005Y52-O November 2002 2-37

Additional Channel Window Information Chapter 2: Configuration Processes and Procedures
Process 2-3 Changing a Band Plan Element (Continued)

9 Reconfigure any new subscribers, talkgroups, and multigroups through the User Configuration
Manager (UCM). This includes entering radio IDs and talkgroups IDs for the Sub-Band
Restricted window, if necessary. See Volume 3, Managing Radio Users, for the procedures to
add new radios, talkgroups, and multigroups.
10 Bring any new or updated channels into service on the system.
See Volume 3, Managing Zone Infrastructure, for more information on adding a channel.
You can bring channels into service after the sites have been prepared to identify
the new channels and the subscribers have been prepared to read the new channel
identifiers.
Additional Channel Window Information
If the system uses other band trunking, you must be careful to match the transmit frequency and the receive
frequency for each channel in the Channel window and the Other Band Trunking window in the PSC 9600. If
these frequencies do not match on both windows, the Channel Mapping Validation Error dialog box appears:
Figure 2-25 Channel Mapping Validation Error Dialog Box
If you are saving the PSC 9600 configuration data to an archive file, the Continue Saving button
appears on the dialog box and allows you to finish saving the file.
Motorola recommends that you do not program the PSC 9600 with an archive file after you receive
the Channel Mapping Validation Error dialog box. Check the file for incorrect frequencies.
Click the Close button in the upper right corner of the box to cancel the dialog box and to stop the file from saving.
If you are saving configuration data directly to the PSC 9600 and receive the Channel Mapping
Validation Error dialog box, the configuration data is not written to the device.

Configuring the Quantar as a Conventional Mutual Aid Channel Chapter 2: Configuration Processes and Procedures
The System ID (WACN ID), Site Timer and Repeater Configuration parameters are
essential to site (instead of Wide Area) operation.
Configuring the Quantar as a Conventional Mutual

Aid Channel
Quantar stations used at the site may be configured for Mutual Aid. Mutual Aid stations are conventional
stations programmed according to your System Installation Guide documentation.
Versions of the Configuration/Service Software (CSS) supplied with ASTRO 25 do not support
configuration of conventional channels for use as Mutual Aid channels. To program stations for Mutual
Aid, use the latest version of Radio Service Software (RSS). See the latest version of the Quantar and
Quantro Radio Service Software User’s Guide (68P81085E35) for RSS references.
IP Address Definition
Windows for the Zone, Site, and IntelliSite Repeater allow the verification of the IntelliSite Repeater’s
network system, zone, and site parameters, most of which are manager-owned.
Do not change manager-owned parameters, especially the Manager, Zone Controller,

S4000 Router
Commissioning of your ASTRO 25 system with an IntelliSite Repeater Site includes the configuration
of the site S4000 router. Depending on the system design, the site may either be configured
with a Zhone TeNSr channel bank (sites with Mutual Aid), or the site router may be connected
directly with the WAN via an S413 module installed in the router.
There are three ways to configure the S4000 router at the IntelliSite Repeater site:
• Using Router Manager to enter configuration parameters
• Downloading a configuration from a CD
68P81005Y52-O November 2002 2-63

Downloading a Stored Configuration File to the S4000 Chapter 2: Configuration Processes and Procedures
• Using a terminal emulation program, logging on to the S4000 router, and

typing values into each command line
In a “break/fix” situation in which you substitute a new, un-configured S4000 site router for the existing
router, the new router will not contain the correct boot.cfg file. You may configure the new router
using a terminal program and a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Server application to download a
stored configuration file or by keying in each line of the site router configuration and then storing and
downloading that configuration to the router. Both methods are covered in this section.
Downloading a configuration file in a “break/fix” situation is the preferred method.

Manual configuration should only be done as a last resort.
Downloading a Stored Configuration File to the S4000
This procedure assumes that

• The new router is “factory fresh” and contains only a boot.ppc file.
• You will configure the router using a 3Com® 3C server application loaded on your workstation,
along with a terminal emulator program such as HyperTerminal or ProComm+.
• Your workstation has an IP address, Subnet Mask, and default gateway set as
defined by the system installation guides.
• Your workstation is on the same IP subnet as the S4000 router.
• You are configuring a new site, or an existing site with a replacement router.
If you use a TFTP server application other than the 3Com TFTP server application, the command
syntax and setup scenario may be slightly different than that shown in the following procedures.

to the router.
2 Change directories to the directory in which the desired configuration file is
to be stored by typing Router#cd a:/primary, where a:/primary is the router
directory.
Result: The system returns a Router# prompt indicating the new directory as:
Router# a:/primary
3 At the Router# prompt, enter the following command:
Router#SetD !1 —IP NETA=10.101.2.254 255.255.255.0
Result: The router IP is defined.
This is an example of the command syntax. The actual values for

the IP NETA depend on which zone and which site the router is in.
These values are unique for each zone and site.
Also, your computer should be on the same subnet (the unique IP
address of the site router) as the TFTP server.

Instead of storing the configuration file on a floppy in the a: drive,

you might have stored it in a directory on the c: drive, or on a
CD-ROM or zip disk on another drive, in which case you would
select that drive/directory as the default drive/directory for the TFTP
upload/download.
Result: The A: directory of the workstation floppy drive is selected as the
directory in which the needed file is stored.

router configuration file from the default directory of the TFTP server,
using the following command: copy 10.101.2.x z1s002.cfg
a:/primary/boot.cfg. For example, assume you wish to copy the Zone 1,
Site 2 configuration “z1s002.cfg” to the default directory of the TFTP server.
In the copy command shown, the 10.101.2.x is the IP address

of the workstation you are using, as defined by your System
Installation Guide. You must replace x with the value listed in your
documentation.
Result: The configuration file is copied from the default directory of the TFTP
application to the router file system and renamed to boot.cfg, and the Router#
prompt reappears.
9 Reboot the router.
Result: The router reboots and goes active, using the boot.cfg file that was
uploaded to the router in step 8.
Manually Entering a Configuration into the S4000 Site Router

Process 2-4 describes how to establish a site configuration of the S4000 site router by manually entering the
parameters, storing the file, and then downloading it to the router. Procedures are given for FlexWAN V.35 sites
(Zhone TeNSr Channel Bank and Mutual Aid) and for direct connection to a T1 using an S413 module in the
S4000 router. While the values are different depending on the specific site configuration, Process 2-4 still applies.
Manual configuration of the site router should only be performed as a last option, if no
record exists in the system of the stored site router configuration that was provided
when the system was commissioned. Good practice is to store at least one copy on
removable media of each device configuration at the site in which the device is used.

Multicast and Priority Queuing Setup Parameters Descriptions
Table 2-17 describes the Multicast and Priority Queuing setup parameters.
Table 2-17 Description of Multicast and Priority Queuing Setup Parameters
CONTrol Enables or disables multicast routing, and displays whether multicast routing is in
service.
IgmpControl Used to control the IGMP host/router functionality, as well as administratively set the
IGMP version number.
QueryInterval Specifies how often an IGMP Query message is sent to request local group
membership. Only the designated router sends the queries onto the associated network.
The designated router is elected if it has the lowest IP address on that network (when
running the DVMRP Protocol) or the one with the highest router priority (when running
the MOSPF Protocol).
LeaveInterval Sets the leave latency. When a bridge/router receives an IGMP leave from the local
host, it sends a group-specific query to check to see if there are any other hosts
interested in receiving the traffic for that group. The group-specific queries are sent
twice at an interval which is a function of the query interval and it can take up to a few
seconds before the traffic is actually stopped.

CONTrol Manipulates PIM-SM version2 functionality on a per-port basis using. If PIM CONTrol
is enabled on a port and the IGMPControl parameter of the -MIP service is disabled
on the same interface, IGMPv2 behavior is automatically enabled on the interface
to ensure proper functionality
GblSPTThreshold (Global Allows the user to specify the threshold value for switching to a Shortest Path Tree
Shortest Path Tree Threshold) (SPT) for any (S,G) multicast flow. PIM-SM supports the ability to switch from a
shared tree to a shortest path tree based on data rates. If the threshold value gets
exceeded for an (S,G) multicast flow, the PIM-SM module initiates procedures to
switch the PIM routing state for the (S,G) flow to a shortest path tree from a shared
tree. If set to Infinity, PIM routing state for all sources for “applicable IP multicast
destinations” is never switched from the shared tree to the Shortest Path Tree (SPT).
MultipleJoins Used to enable or disable multiple joins on the router, depending on the reliability of
the link. If you set MultipleJoins to Enable, the router will send the number of joins
specified by the RetryCount option at the calculated interval.
JoinPruneAgg A PIM-SM Timer-related configuration parameter which controls the aggregation
PIM JoinPrune messages.
QueueMethod Applies only when RealTime priority queuing is enabled (RealTimeQueue is set to
RealTimeQueue). For remote site (edge) routers, set QueueMethod to PathBasedQueue.
RealTimeQueue Indicates the type of priority queuing to be used on the entire Frame Relay interface:
realtime priority queuing or non-realtime PQH (priority queue handler) priority
queuing.
QueueInterLeave Determines the forwarding ratio of packets in the high- to medium-priority queues and
the forwarding ratio of packets in the medium-to-low-priority queues. The values
you specify identify the number of high-priority packets that are transmitted for each
medium-priority packet and the number of medium-priority packets that are transmitted
for each low-priority packet.
TosQueue Enables assignment of IP packets to TOS-based priority queues on the outbound port.

Table 2-18 Description of SNMP and Fragmentation (FR. 12) Setup Parameters (Continued)
COMmunity Modifies the list of communities. A community is named by a
string of octets and is used for authenticating SNMP messages.
A request is valid only if the community name is included in
the list. A maximum of six community names is allowed in
the request list.
• ANYCOM is a reserved com.name. It allows requests
with any community name to be handled. When the
community list is checked upon the arrival of a request, the
entry under ANYCOM is checked last. If an entry under
any other community name is found, the information in
that entry is used instead of that under ANYCOM. If traps
are configured for ANYCOM, the community name field
in the trap PDU is left blank.
• TRiv specifies the authentication scheme. The Trivial
scheme is selected by default.
• RO | RW specifies the access to the management
information base (MIB). RO means read-only; RW means
read-write access. By default, RO is selected.
• ALl | NOne ALl means both general and authentication
and enterprise-specific traps as well as enterprise-specific
traps.
• NOne (the default) means no traps are generated for
managers using this community string.
RtqFragLevel Indicates the priority level at and below which packets will
be candidates for fragmentation. Long packets at and below
the specified priority level will be fragmented to reduce
delay—provided fragmentation is enabled on the specific
Virtual Circuit (VC) (FragType is not set to No) and the packet
length exceeds the MTU of the maximum fragment size
allowed (as specified by the FragPktSize parameter).
FragType Specifies the type of fragmentation control or disables
fragmentation on the specified Virtual Circuit (VC).
FragPktSize Specifies the maximum packet size for the specified <vcid>
when fragmentation is enabled for a VC [where <vcid> refers
to a DLCI (PVC)]. Packets larger than the specified maximum
are fragmented into multiple packets with MTU sizes of the
specified FragPktSize or smaller.

Multicast and Priority Queuing Setup Parameter Descriptions Chapter 2: Configuration Processes and Procedures
Multicast and Priority Queuing Setup Parameter Descriptions
Table 2-24 describes the Multicast and Priority Queuing setup parameters.
Table 2-24 Description of Multicast and Priority Queuing Setup Parameters
MIP CONTrol Enables or disables multicast routing, and displays
whether multicast routing is in service.
IgmpControl Used to control the IGMP host/router functionality as
well as administratively set the IGMP version number.
QueryInterval Specifies how often an IGMP Query message is sent to
request local group membership. Only the designated
router sends the queries onto the associated network. The
designated router is elected if it has the lowest IP address
on that network (when running the DVMRP Protocol) or
the one with the highest router priority (when running
the MOSPF Protocol).
LeaveInterval Sets the leave latency. When a bridge/router receives an
IGMP leave from the local host, it sends a group-specific
query to check to see if there are any other hosts interested
in receiving the traffic for that group. The group-specific
queries are sent twice at an interval which is a function
of the query interval and it can take up to a few seconds
before the traffic is actually stopped.
PIM CONTrol Manipulates PIM-SM version2 functionality on a per-port
basis. If PIM CONTrol is enabled on a port and the
IGMPControl parameter of the -MIP service is disabled
on the same interface, IGMPv2 behavior is automatically
enabled on the interface to ensure proper functionality.
PIM HelloOption GenID A 32-bit unsigned number used to reduce convergence
(Generation Identifier) time on PIM networks. The GenID option enables PIM
routers to quickly detect any new neighbor and thus to
synchronize RP-Set information and routing table entries
by triggering BootStrap and Join/Prune messages to
the new neighbor. When GenID is enabled on a PIM
router, each interface on the router is randomly assigned
a different GenID number when it boots up. The GenID
numbers remain the same as long as the interfaces are up.
If the router reboots or an interface is toggled on and off,
new GenID numbers are assigned. Based on the changed
GenID numbers, other PIM neighbors can immediately
detect the reboot or interface toggle and send RP-Set and
Join/Prune messages—without waiting for the periodic
messages. Thus the PIM network is able to converge
more quickly.

IntelliSite Hardware and Software Configuration Simplified Network Management Protocol and Fragmentation Setup Parameters
Table 2-24 Description of Multicast and Priority Queuing Setup Parameters (Continued)
GblSPTThreshold (Global Allows the user to specify the threshold value for
Shortest Path Tree Threshold) switching to a Shortest Path Tree (SPT) for any (S,G)
multicast flow. PIM-SIM supports the ability to switch
from a shared tree to a shortest path tree based on data
rates. If the threshold value gets exceeded for an (S,G)
multicast flow, the PIM-SM module initiates procedures
to switch the PIM routing state for the (S,G) flow to a
shortest path tree from a shared tree. If set to Infinity,
PIM routing state for all sources for “applicable IP
multicast destinations” is never switched from the shared
tree to the Shortest Path Tree (SPT).
MultipleJoins Used to enable or disable multiple joins on the router,
depending on the reliability of the link. If you set
MultipleJoins to Enable, the router will send the number
of joins specified by the RetryCount option at the
calculated interval.
JoinPruneAgg A PIM-SM Timer-related configuration parameter which
controls the aggregation PIM JoinPrune messages.
QueueMethod Applies only when RealTime priority queuing is
enabled (RealTimeQueue is set to RealTimeQueue).
For remote site (edge) routers, set QueueMethod to
PathBasedQueue.
RealTimeQueue Indicates the type of priority queuing to be used on the
entire Frame Relay interface: real-time priority queuing
or non-realtime PQH (priority queue handler) priority
queuing.
QueueInterLeave Determines the forwarding ratio of packets in the high-
to medium-priority queues and the forwarding ratio
of packets in the medium-to-low-priority queues. The
values you specify identify the number of high-priority
packets that are transmitted for each medium-priority
packet and the number of medium-priority packets that
are transmitted for each low-priority packet.
TosQueue Enables assignment of IP packets to TOS-based priority
queues on the outbound port.
Simplified Network Management Protocol and Fragmentation Setup Parameters
The next step in programming the S4000 site router for T1 connection using the S413 module is to enter the
Simplified Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Fragmentation Control (FR.12) setup parameters.

IntelliSite Hardware and Software Configuration Fragmentation Size Table
Table 2-25 SNMP and Fragmentation (FR. 12) Setup Parameter Descriptions (Continued)
Parameter Valid Input Description
COMmunity Modifies the list of communities. A community is named by a
• ANYCOM
string of octets and is used for authenticating SNMP messages.
• TRiv A request is valid only if the community name is included in
the list. A maximum of six community names is allowed in the
• RO
request list. There is a reserved com.name called ANYCOM. It
• RW allows requests with any community name to be handled. When
the community list is checked upon the arrival of a request, the
• ALl entry under ANYCOM is checked last. If an entry under any
• NOne other community name is found, the information in that entry is
used instead of that under ANYCOM. If traps are configured
for ANYCOM, the community name field in the trap PDU
is left blank. TRiv specifies the authentication scheme. The
Trivial scheme is selected by default. RO or RW specifies the
access to the management information base (MIB).
• RO means read-only.
• RW means read-write access.
RO is the default.
ALl or NOne:
• ALl means both general and authentication and
enterprise-specific traps as well as enterprise-specific
traps.
• NOne (the default) means no traps are generated for
managers using this community string.
NOne is the default.
RtqFragLevel Indicates the priority level at and below which packets will
be candidates for fragmentation. Long packets at and below
the specified priority level will be fragmented to reduce
delay—provided fragmentation is enabled on the specific
Virtual Circuit (VC) (FragType is not set to No) and the packet
length exceeds the MTU of the maximum fragment size
allowed (as specified by the FragPktSize parameter).
FragType Specifies the type of fragmentation control or disables
fragmentation on the specified Virtual Circuit (VC).
FragPktSize The parameter specifies the maximum packet size for the
specified <vcid>, when fragmentation is enabled for a VC
[where <vcid> refers to a DLCI (PVC)]. Packets larger than the
specified maximum are fragmented into multiple packets with
MTU sizes of the specified FragPktSize or smaller.
Fragmentation Size Table
Table 2-19, "Fragmentation Size ," on page 2-81 provides a reference for the determination of Fragmentation
size as a function of DSOs, line speed, Router CIR, and ASTRO repeaters.

Checking Measurements on the IntelliSite Repeater Chapter 2: Configuration Processes and Procedures
MOSCAD configuration is generally done by the Motorola representative who configures your site
initially. When it is necessary to re-configure the MOSCAD system (the NFM RTU), this is usually
accomplished by downloading a site configuration file provided by Motorola, using Site Builder. This
site configuration file is downloaded to the MOSCAD NFM RTU (Network Fault Management Remote
Terminal Unit) using a laptop on which the Toolbox and Site Builder applications are already installed,
and on which the necessary MOSCAD site configuration file has been stored.
Each MOSCAD configuration is customer and system-specific. Therefore, this configuration

booklet does not cover installing or using Site Builder or Toolbox. It also does not cover
site-specific configurations to interface with site equipment, including purchasable options.
For information on installing, configuring, and using Site Builder, Toolbox, and optional software,
see the system documentation for your system, especially the Fixed Data Product Group’s
General Usage and Loading Instructions For The MOSCAD ToolBox and Site Builder contained
in your System Installation Guide documentation package.
Sites with more than 10 channels require two MOSCAD IP interfaces.

Contact your Motorola representative if MOSCAD is being added to an existing site. The Motorola Fixed
Data Product Group will construct the necessary site configuration files and provide them to you, along
with any additional information needed to install the MOSCAD equipment at your site.
Checking Measurements on the IntelliSite Repeater
After installing the IntelliSite Repeater, check the RF measurements to be sure the station is operating

Calibrating the Reference Oscillator and UHSO
The circuit devices responsible for determining the station reference frequency exhibit slight variations
in their operating characteristics over time. Approximately 90% of the aging process occurs during
the first year, whether the equipment is in service or in storage awaiting installation. Therefore, it
is necessary to calibrate the reference oscillator at the time of optimization.
The station configuration determines which reference oscillator procedure you need to perform.
Table 2-29 lists the three possible configuration.
