while checking the SAU's LINK Bar LEDs.
Severe NLOS conditions.
Check that the location of the SU is according to the

radio planning.
Troubleshooting
SU Data Connectivity Problem
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
No Data Connectivity
Bridging table in SU is full

(expected when Number of
Supported Devices,
configurable from the Base
station's side, is set to a
small number.
Reset the SU to clear the table and retry the Telnet

command to the unit.
SU Status Configuration
problem
Ping the ISP's Local IP/Default Gateway.
In the Base Station, find the SU according to its

MAC address and check that the Registration
Status of the SU is "In Service".
Check that the Service Fault Status of the SU is

OK. Otherwise, refer to SU Service Fault
reasons below.
Assumptions:
Link with the Base Station
has been established.
User's data equipment
connectivity is OK.
Base Station is up and
running properly, at least
one SU receives data.
Authentication problem
Filtering configuration
problem
When working with RADIUS server:

1
Check that the SU is defined as temporary.
Check that RADIUS parameters are defined

correctly on the NPU, and that the SU's
registration parameters (User Name and
Password) and Service parameters are defined
in the RADIUS server.
When working without RADIUS server: Check

that the SU is defined as Permanent. Follow the
next steps in order to check proper service
configuration.
Verify that the MAC Address of the data

equipment is not included in the MAC Address
Deny List.
Verify that traffic to/from the data equipment is

not rejected due to any of the active filtering
rules.
SU Data Connectivity Problem
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
Service Configuration
Problem
Check proper Service configuration:
Service Profile
Verify that the Admin Status of the Service is

Enabled.
Verify that the Admin Status of the Subscriber is

Enabled.
Verify that Operation Status is Up. If Down, the

SU may not be associated (refer to the "SU
Association Problem" above).
Make sure that the traffic you forward from the

equipment connected to the SU is with the
appropriate VLAN, matching the Service's
definitions for VLAN List and Hybrid VLAN
Mode.
Verify that the equipment connected to the Data

port of the Base Station supports the configured
VPL ID (if VLAN Transparency Mode is Off) or
the VLAN ID used by the equipment connected
to the SU (if VLAN Transparency Mode is On).
Check the Service Type - if configured as

PPPoE, make sure you are sending PPPoE
packets only.
Forwarding Rule
Check the "Unknown Forwarding Policy"

configuration; if configured to "Reject", run Uplink
traffic (SU to Base Station) before running Downlink
Traffic (in order to update the Base station's bridging
table (addresses behind the SU).
Priority Classifier
Verify that the traffic from the user's data equipment

to the SU is with the correct priority marking as
defined in the Priority Classifier: 802.1p (VLAN
Traffic only) or DSCP (packets containing DSCP).
If more than one Uplink/Downlink Upper Range is
defined, packets must carry either 802.1p or DSCP
marking. Verify that the equipment behind the SU
supports the correct marking.
Service Fault Status

indicates a Loop problem
QoS Starvation problem
Check the QoS configured for the Service. If a low

QoS (BE or NRT) is configured, the cell might be
overloaded with higher priority traffic. For testing
purposes, reconfigure a QoS with higher priority,
such as RT with CIR=12,000 Kbps, and repeat the
test.
A loop was detected on the

Ethernet side of the SU.
Correct the loop problem and reset the SU from the

Base Station's side.
Troubleshooting
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
