2. Motorola Wireless Controller

2.1 Introduction

2.1.1 Product Summary

All tests executed by ALU PQA team were performed on following platform.

However, we guarantee interoperability with all controllers listed in Comtech/PCS running

software version 5.1.0.0.

All tests were performed with the APs in the table, but all access points listed in the
Comtech/PCS are supported.

The latest released version of OT8118/8128 handset is recommended to deploy. (v2.6.3 is

deliveryed for WLAN_R5.3 release)

Controller APs
Product Model
RFS6000 AP650

AP Radio(s) 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g/n), 5 GHz (802.11a/n)

WPA-PSK
WPA2-PSK
Security EAP-FAST
PEAPv0-MSChap2
EAP-TLS
QoS WMM / UAPSD
software version 5.1.0.0
Handset model OT8118/8128
Handset software 4.2.2

2.1.2 Known Limitations

 The handset will attempt to use U-APSD even if it is not announced by the system. The
solution is to ensure that the system and client configuration match.

 A delay between the last RTP data and the first Authentication frame with up to 400ms
was observed at a few occasions. This is noticed as a short glitch in the voice stream.

3. Test Configuration
Motorola solutions RFS4000 Controller and AP650/65xx/71xx Access Points

In the following chapter you will find screenshots and explanations of basic settings in order to get
the Motorola solution operational with OT8118/8128. Please note that security settings were
modified according to requirements in individual test cases.

3.1 ESS, Radio and QoS settings

Basic SSID settings

WLAN QoS Policy

 Make sure WMM is selected as Wireless Client Classification.

 If U-APSD is used, make sure to Enable WMM Power Save.

Note. U-APSD is strongly recommended since it will boost the battery performance dramatically.

Data rate configuration (2.4Ghz).

8AL90454USAA ed04 6 April 2013

Configuration Guide of Motorola WLAN

Handset

 The default data rate set will work just fine but to improve the performance in the
wireless system it is recommended to disable the lowest data rates and disallow .11b
client. This can be done by selecting “gn rates”

Data rate configuration (5 Ghz).

 Use the Default data rate set.

WMM & Call Admission Control Configuration

1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless

2. Select the Radio QoS Policy section.

3. Click Add to create a new QoS policy. or select one of the existing policies listed and
select the Edit button to modify.

4. The Radio QoS Policy screen displays the WMM tab by default. Use the WMM tab to define
the access category configuration (CWMin, CWMax, AIFSN and TXOP values) in respect to
the type of wireless data planned for this new or updated WLAN radio QoS policy.

5. Click OK when completed to update the radio QoS settings for this policy.

6. Select the Admission Control tab to configure an admission control configuration for
selected radio QoS policy.

 Enable admission control for firewall Detected Traffic (e.g, SIP) check box to apply Radio
QoS settings to traffic detected by the controller Firewall. This feature is enabled by default.

 Implicit TPSEC check box to require wireless clients to send their traffic specification to a
controller managed Access Point before they can transmit or receive data. If enabled, this
setting applies to just this radio’s QoS policy. This feature is enabled by default

 Select the check box to Enable the Admission Call for Voice, Video, Best effort, and
Background access category according to your WLAN plan.

Radio configuration

Radio configuration

Radio configuration

 ALU recommends a Beacon Interval of 100ms and a DTIM interval of 5. DTIM value 5 is
recommended in order to allow maximum battery conservation without impacting the
quality. A lower value will negatively impact the standby time.

 Make sure Dynamic Chain Selection is enabled. This feature will compensate the power
level between single stream client and multi stream clients.

In the example above Channel is set to Smart under the general AP profile. In the test setup this
is overridden by a channel setting on a per Device level.

Note. For 802.11a, if enabling more than 8 channels will degrade roaming performance

Note for 802.11a: Using 40 MHz channels will reduce the number of non DFS channels to 2 in ETSI
regions.

3.2 Security settings

Security profile WPA2-PSK, AES-CCMP encryption

Setting up a Radius profile using 802.1X

Authentication type EAP step 1: Create a Radius policy under Wireless/AAA Policy.

 Configure the IP Address to the Radius server

 Type in the “secret” that corresponds to the secret configured in the Radius server.

Note that both a root and a client certificate are needed for TLS. Otherwise only a root
certificate is needed.

Authentication type EAP step 2

 Select Authentication type “EAP”

 Select the already configured AAA Policy

 Select WPA2-CCMP as encryption

Authentication type EAP step 2

 Make sure both PMK caching and Opportunistic Key caching is enabled. Without key
caching a full EAP exchange will be done every time the handset is roaming and the
performance will be degraded.
