1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the FreeWave Technologies, Inc. FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U device.
The FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U offer industrial serial and Ethernet wireless connectivity using the
license-free spread spectrum for data communication over long distances. The Radios are
compatible with other FreeWave FGR plus family Radios and have two Ethernet ports and two
serial ports, providing the ability to transition from serial to Ethernet data communications without
having to replace your wireless communications infrastructure.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 14 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Figure 2: FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U Board

Important!: The FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U are compatible over the air with the FGRplusRE and the
MM2-P-T Radios. They are NOT compatible over the air with any other FreeWave products.

1.1. Components of the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radios

The FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radios have these components:
l A power connector.
l LEDs to help determine when data is being received or sent from the radio and to provide
additional information about the radio's state.
l Two Ethernet ports (items 4 to 7, outlined in blue on the radio).
l Two COM ports (items 8 to 11, outlined in red on the radio).
l An antenna port.
l A diagnostic port (may be present on some units).
l The FGR2-P Radio has the same configuration as the FGR2-PE-U, without the enclosure.

Note: As of May-2018, the diagnostic port is active under certain configurations:

The diagnostic port does NOT function using MultiPoint Gateways and Point to Point
Repeaters.
The diagnostic port does function using MultiPoint Repeaters and Endpoints.
The diagnostic port functions with restrictions using Point to Point Gateways and Point to
Point Endpoints.

Radios running software v2.26 or later can be configured using a terminal emulator
connected to COM1.

1.3. Choose a Radio Location

Placement of the FreeWave radio may have a significant impact on its performance. The key to
the overall robustness of the radio link is the height of the antenna.
When using an external antenna, placement of that antenna is critical to a solid data link. Other
antennas in close proximity are a potential source of interference.
Use the Radio Statistics on the Status window (on page 175) to help identify potential problems.
In general, FreeWave units with a higher antenna placement will have a better communication
link.
In practice, the radio should be placed away from computers, telephones, answering machines,
and other similar devices. The cable included with the radio provides ample distance for
placement away from other equipment.

Note: FreeWave offers directional and Omni-directional antennas with cable lengths ranging from 3
to 200 feet.

An adjustment as little as 2 feet in antenna placement may resolve noise issues.

In extreme cases, (e.g., Cellular Telephone tower interference) the band pass filters that
FreeWave offers may reduce this out-of-band noise.

1.4. Choose Point-to-Point (PTP) or Point-to-MultiPoint

(PTMP) Operation
PTP Network
l A PTP network functions best when the network consists of one Gateway and one
Endpoint radio.
l A maximum of four Repeaters can be added to extend the reach of the network.

Important!: Adding a Repeater to a network cuts the network throughput by 50%.

In a Point-to-Point network, the Gateway determines all settings in an Endpoint or Repeater,

except for the Transmit Power and Retry Timeout. All other settings in a Point-to-Point network
are determined by the Gateway's settings.

PTMP Network
In a PTMP network, the Gateway radio is able to simultaneously communicate with numerous
Endpoint radios.
l In its simplest form, a PTMP network functions with the Gateway broadcasting its
messages to all Endpoint radios.
l If requested by the Gateway, the Endpoint radios respond to the Gateway when given data
by the device connected to the data port.
l This response depends on the setup.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 18 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

l The network can be extended with as many Repeaters as is required.

Important!: Adding a Repeater to a network cuts the network throughput by 50%.

1.4.1. Differences between PTP and PTMP Networks

PTP Network
In a PTP network all packets are acknowledged, whether sent from the Gateway to the Endpoint
or from the Endpoint to the Gateway.

PTMP Network
In a PTMP network, the user determines the number of times outbound packets from the
Gateway or Repeater to the Endpoint or other Repeaters are sent.
l The receiving radio, Endpoint or Repeater, accepts the first packet received that passes the
32 bit CRC.
l However, the packet is not acknowledged.

l On the return to the Gateway, all packets sent are acknowledged or retransmitted until they
are acknowledged.
l Therefore, the return link in a PTMP network is generally very robust.

Traditionally, a PTMP network is used in applications where data is collected from many
instruments and reported back to one central site. The architecture of such a network is different
from PTP applications. These parameters influence the number of radios that can exist in a PTMP
network:
l Baud Rate. The data rate between the radio and the device it is connected to could limit the
amount of data and the number of radios that can exist in a network.
l Contention: The amount of contention between Endpoint radios. Polled Endpoint radios
versus vs. timed Endpoint radios.
l Data Block Size. The longer the data blocks, the fewer number of deployed Endpoint
radios can exist in the network.
l Repeater Use. Using the Repeater setting in a PTP or PTMP network decreases the
overall network capacity by at least 50%.

Example: If the network polls once a day to retrieve sparse data, several hundred Endpoint
radios could be configured to a single Gateway.
However, if each Endpoint transmits larger amounts of data or data more frequently, fewer
Endpoint radios can link to the Gateway while receiving the same network performance.
When larger amounts of data are sent more frequently, the overall network bandwidth is
closer to capacity with fewer Endpoint radios.

2.1. Basic Steps to Programming the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U

PLUS Radios
This basic procedure programs any FreeWave PLUS Radio.
1. Determine or set the radio's IP address.

Note: The PLUS radio can be programmed using the terminal menu available through the
radio's serial port without having to know the radio's IP address.

2. Be familiar with the network and know if it is a Point-to-Point (PTP) or Point-to-MultiPoint

(PTMP) configuration.

Note: Most FreeWave networks are PTMP.

3. Open the radio's Configuration Windows.

4. Set the radio's operation mode (e.g., Gateway, Repeater, or Endpoint).
5. Set the radio's network type (PTP or PTMP).
6. Program the radio, verifying all devices in a PTMP network have the same settings for
these parameters:
l Frequency Key

l Max Packet Size

l Min Packet Size

l Network ID

l RF Data Rate

7. Setup the Call Book if the radio is in a network NOT using Network IDs.
See the Call Book window (on page 158).

FREEWAVE Recommends: While the Call Book is an option in Point-to-MultiPoint networks,

FreeWave strongly recommends using the Network ID feature in most applications.
If a large MultiPoint network is implemented using the Call Book and a radio needs to be added or
replaced in the network, each radio MUST be physically reprogrammed in the network and the new
serial number entered in the radio's Call Book.
This can be a time consuming process and can cause a delay in getting the network back up and
running.

Note: If using a Network ID, see the Network ID and Subnet ID parameters described in the Radio
Settings (on page 82).

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 23 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

2.1.1. PTMP Network Considerations

Planning is important when installing PTMP networks. A PTMP network requires that several
parameters are set consistently on ALL radios in the network. This includes:
l Frequency Key.
l Min and Max Packet Size.
l Network ID.
l RF Data Rate.

Important!: If several independent, PTMP networks are located in close proximity, it is very
important to include as much frequency and time diversity as possible using different Frequency
Key and Min and Max Packet Sizes.

2.2. Powering the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radio

Connect the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radio to a positive DC power supply with +6.0 to
+30.0 VDC (typically, +12 VDC).
The power supply used MUST provide more current than the amount of current drain listed on the
FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U Technical Specifications (on page 196) for the voltage used.

Example: When using +12 VDC, the power supply must provide current capability greater than the
drain that is required for transmit or greater than 550 mA.

Note: For any application where the radio is used in a UL-controlled environment, the power supply
MUST be a Class 2 power source. Using a dedicated power supply line is preferred.

Warning! If the power supply is above approximately +18 to +20 VDC, use a 1 ohm resistor in
line with B+ input to the radio.

Warning! If the power supply line runs outside the enclosure, use electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protectors to protect the radio from electric shock and transient voltage suppressors
(TVS) to protect from an over-voltage situation.
Using both helps to ensure long-term, reliable operation.

2.3. Identify and Change the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS
Radio's IP Address
Note: In software versions 2.26 and later, the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS radio can be
programmed through the radio's COM1 port without having to know the radio's IP address.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 24 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

It is good practice to identify the IP addresses of all the devices in the network and verify each
is unique.

l The FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radio's default IP address is 192.168.111.100.
l The default user name is admin.
l The default password is admin.

Caution: Each radio in the network MUST have its own unique IP address.
Putting multiple devices with the same IP address on the same network can cause network
problems.

2.4. Configuration Tool Options

After the Ethernet address is identified and changed on the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS radio,
use the Configuration Windows setup tools to configure the radio.
A Web browser must be installed on the computer to access the Configuration Windows.

Note: See Accessing the Configuration Windows on page 27.

Example: To setup a serial port, access all the parameters for the first serial port in the Serial Setup
1 window.

2.5. Accessing the Configuration Windows

Each FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radio includes Configuration Windows to identify, change,
and program its settings.

Note: See Configuration Windows for detailed information.

l A Web browser must be installed on the computer to access the Configuration Windows.
l The router / switch and/or the computer accessing the radio must be on the same subnet.
If the Subnet Mask for the network is 255.255.255.0, the first three octets, or sections, of the IP
address on the radio and the IP address on the computer MUST match. The last octet is unique.

Example: If the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the radio's IP address is 198.168.111.100, then
the computer must have an IP address that begins with 198.168.111.
The last section of the IP address is unique to identify the device.

2.9. Creating User Logins

To limit who can access the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radios in the network and edit
configuration settings, a maximum of nine (9) custom users with login access can be created.

Note: The permanent admin login is the 10th login.

Procedure
1. Defining User Groups on page 36.
2. Editing User Group Rights on page 37.
3. Add and Delete Users on page 38.
4. Changing User Passwords on page 40.

2.9.1. Defining User Groups

User groups set the access rights for the Configuration Windows for a radio. Users are assigned
to one of three Groups and inherit the access rights that are set for that Group.
There are three pre-defined Groups (Groups 1, 2, and 3).

Note: Additional Groups cannot be added.

In each group, assign one access level to each page or tab:

l No Access - Users cannot see the settings in the tab or page.
l Any attempt to navigate to the tab or page shows an Access Denied message.

l Read Only - Users can see the settings in the tab or page, but cannot save or apply any
changes.
l Full Access - Users are able to see the settings in the tab or page and can save and apply
changes.
When a user is created it is assigned to a group. The group number corresponds to the user group
and the user inherits the permissions assigned to that group.

Example: If Group 1 has Read Only access to the IP Setup parameters and No Access to the
Security parameters, any user assigned to Group 1 can view IP Setup parameters but not make
changes, and receives an Access Denied message if they try to access the Security window on
page 163.

Note: The group assigned to the admin user cannot be changed.

The admin user always has Full Access to all pages.

2.10. Upgrading the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radio

Software Using a TFTP Server
The PLUS Radios share a common software upgrade platform and process using the FreeWave
TFTP Server and a FreeWave-supplied software upgrade file. This section details the step-by-
step process of upgrading software either locally (directly connected to the radio via an Ethernet
cable) or over-the-air (OTA).
Upgrading software:
l does NOT change any radio settings.
l locally is much faster than if done OTA.

Caution: Only attempt an OTA software upgrade if the link is stable and of good quality.
If the link is unstable or poor, the software upgrade is likely to fail.

Assumption
These instructions assume the IP address is known for the radio to upgrade and the radio's
Configuration Windows are accessible. If needed, contact FreeWave Technical Support for
assistance.

Note: See Contact FreeWave Technical Support on page 12 for contact information.

Complete these steps to upgrade a FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS radio:
1. Confirm access with a TFTP server with the Network Administrator.
2. Configuring the TFTP Server on page 42.
3. Upgrading Software Using the Configuration Windows on page 43.
4. Verifying Software Upgrades on page 48.

2.10.1. Downgrading Software

Warning! Downgrading a FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radio from the current software
version to a previous software version may result in the radio settings becoming invalid.

FREEWAVE Recommends: FreeWave recommends resetting any downgraded radio to the factory

use the Global Update functionality for future upgrades.

Upgrade the software to all connected FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radios of the same type
using the GLOBAL Software Upgrade option. The Gateway sends a copy of the software
update in 1 KB sections to all connected Endpoints and MultiPoint Repeaters.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 46 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

l Each radio must successfully receive every section, or it will not upgrade its software.
l Increasing the Broadcast Repeat setting increases the probability of success, but slows
down the overall process.
l The Gateway itself is NOT upgraded during a Global Upgrade.

Note: If the GLOBAL Software Upgrade button is selected on an Endpoint or a MultiPoint

Repeater, that individual radio is NOT upgraded.
It sends the upgrade file to its Gateway, which will be upgraded.
No other radios will receive the file.

2.10.6. Common Software Upgrade Issues and Solutions

"File Not Found" in either the Configuration Windows or the FreeWave TFTP
Server
l Verify the file name of the software upgrade file is exactly as the file is named.
l If still unsuccessful, check the extension of the file.

Note: If the computer does not show file name extensions, see the Microsoft® topic Show or Hide
File Name Extensions to view the extensions.

Software Upgrade Times Out

l Verify:
l the connection is to the proper IP address.

l the radio is powered on.

l If you are able to access the Configuration Windows, but the software upgrade times out,
verify the FreeWave TFTP Server is configured properly and is started.
Software Upgrading is Taking a Long Time to Complete
l If the software upgrade is being done over-the-air, it can take a significant amount of time to
complete the file transfer.
l This time can be extended if the quality of the link is poor.

FREEWAVE Recommends: Only attempt an over-the-air software upgrade with links that are
stable and of high quality.

3. IP and Network
Communication Settings

The parameters on the IP Setup tab or the IP Setup window are typically changed by a Network
Administrator. These are the parameters that set the Ethernet address and other communications
for the radio.

Note: Use the IP Address (on page 53) to change the IP and network communication settings using
the Terminal Menu.

In the IP Setup window, these are the available parameters:

l LAN Network Interface Configuration (Management) - The local area network (LAN)
settings.
l VLAN Configuration (Data) - The virtual local area network (VLAN) settings.
l A VLAN is a group of devices with a common set of requirements that communicate as if

they were attached to the same domain, regardless of their network location.

Note: Not every network needs or uses VLAN IDs.

The VLAN Mode setting is typically set to Disabled.
Changes to VLAN settings should be approved by a network administrator.

l NTP Client - The Network Time Protocol (NTP) settings.

l The device with the IP address entered here is the device that the radios in the network

use to synchronize their internal clocks.

l Syslog Server - The system logging settings.
l Enabling and setting IP addresses in the system server settings instructs the radio to

send all its log entries to a system server.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 51 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Note: For more information, see Viewing the System Log (on page 103).

(Management) area of the IP Setup window (on page 153).
Terminal Menu: (1) IP Setup > (2) Default Gateway
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: 192.168.111.1
Options: Any valid IP address.
Description: The IP address for the appropriate default Gateway.
A network administrator typically sets this parameter.

Note: Putting multiple devices on the network with the same IP address
can cause network problems.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 52 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

3.1.2. IP Address
Important!: If using the configuration Web pages, the system does not validate that the entered IP
address is in the correct 0.0.0.0 format.
Verify the entered IP address before sending the setting to the radio.

IP Address
Setting Description
Web Parameter: IP Address text box in the LAN Network Interface Configuration
(Management) area of the IP Setup window (on page 153).
Terminal Menu: (1) IP Setup > (0) IP Address
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: 192.168.111.100
Options: Any valid IP address.
Description: This is the IP address assigned to the radio.
l Each radio in the network is assigned a unique IP address.
l The IP address for each radio must in the proper subnet.

Note: It is possible to have a transparent bridge with an IP address of

255.255.255.255, but serial port functionality, the Security features, and
access to the configuration Web pages is lost.

Caution: Putting multiple devices with the same IP address on the

same network can cause network problems.

l When the VLAN Mode (on page 61) parameter is set to Tagged or Untagged,
this IP information is assigned to the Management portion of the radio (Setup
pages, SNMP, and Discovery Server).
l Any communication with the radio's Web pages, SNMP, or changes made
using the Discovery Server need to be:
l addressed to this IP address and
l tagged with the address in the Management VLAN ID (on page 60)
parameter.

Note: This parameter is hidden in the Configuration Windows when

Global Changes are enabled.
For more information about making global changes, see Use the MultiPoint
Gateway to Change All Connected Radios (on page 33).

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 53 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

3.1.3. MTU
FREEWAVE Recommends: Leave this setting at its default of 1500 bytes unless networks are run
back-to-back using VLAN tagging (802.1Q trunking, specifically).

MTU
Setting Description
Web Parameter: MTU text box in the LAN Network Interface Configuration (Management) area
of the IP Setup window (on page 153)..
Terminal Menu: (1) IP Setup > (5) MTU
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: 1500 bytes
Options: 0 to 1500 bytes
Description: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the largest data unit that the radio can
pass via the Ethernet port.
l For TCP, the MTU is the size at which the radio fragments the request into
multiple TCP packets which must be assembled on the remote side for
receipt.
l TCP guarantees complete in-order delivery of traffic where possible.
l The radio attempts to retry sending the packet, with a timeout for each try.
l The radio tries to send portions of the packet or the whole packet if the
packet's size is within the MTU size for each packet sent.
l If pings go through the network but data traffic does not reliably go through,
verify this setting is one to three times the size of what the Maximum
Packet Size parameter setting is for the radio.

FREEWAVE Recommends: With VLANs and some other specific

configurations, TCP/IP traffic can periodically time out over links unless
the MTU parameter is adjusted to be lower than the 1500 byte default
value, with the networks also adjusted accordingly.
FreeWave recommends starting with 1400 bytes in this scenario.

Important!: If the MTU setting is changed, the setting must be changed to

match on all devices within the network.

Caution: Changing this parameter may lead to network instability.

Contact FreeWave Technical Support for guidance about changing
this parameter from the default 1500 bytes.
See Contact FreeWave Technical Support on page 12.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 54 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

3.1.4. NTP Client Enable

NTP Client Enable
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Enable check box in the NTP Client area of the IP Setup window (on page 153).
Terminal Menu: (1) IP Setup > (D) NTP Client
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: Disabled
Options: Disabled, Enabled
Description: Enables the Network Time Protocol (NTP) client on the radio.
l The radio checks with the NTP Server specified in the NTP IP Address (on
page 55) parameter and sets its internal clock to the time and date specified by
the NTP server.
l The radio checks with the NTP server on its initial startup, and then
periodically checks the server to ensure its internal clock is still in sync.

FREEWAVE Recommends: Test the connectivity to the NTP server and

its response to NTP requests. If the radio is unsuccessful connecting to
the NTP server upon booting, it makes a new request to the server before
every log file entry, which can cause unnecessary network traffic.

3.1.5. NTP IP Address

NTP IP Address
Setting Description
Web Parameter: IP Address text box in the NTP Client area of the IP Setup window (on page
153).
Terminal Menu: (1) IP Setup > (E) NTP IP Address

Default Setting: Disabled
Options: l Disabled
l Enabled

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 56 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Spanning Tree
Setting Description
Description: Enabling this parameter causes a Gateway to use the Spanning Tree Protocol
(IEEE 802.1D).
l This protocol eliminates the possibility of the radios creating a network loop,
which can cause network-wide problems.
l Spanning Tree Protocol uses radio bandwidth, as any Spanning Tree radios
are constantly communicating their network location.

Note: Some network devices (e.g., switches and routers), disable a

connection to a device that uses the Spanning Tree Protocol. Prior to
enabling this setting, verify that all network devices work with the
Spanning Tree Protocol.

FREEWAVE Recommends: Leave Spanning Tree disabled, unless the

Spanning Tree Protocol is required.

Options: Any valid net mask address in the network.
Description: Used to route data in a sub-network.
l Devices in the same sub network must have addresses in the same subnet to
successfully communicate.
l A Network Administrator typically sets this parameter.

Note: If the default Subnet setting of 255.255.255.0 is used, all devices

within the network MUST have addresses where the first three sections of
the address match, but the last section is unique.

Example: Addresses 10.0.1.201 and 10.0.1.202 are in the same subnet,

but 10.0.2.201 is not included in the subnet. If the subnet mask is set to
255.255.0.0, then only the first two sections must be unique.

4. Serial Port Settings

Use the settings on the Serial Setup tab or the Serial Setup window to set the serial ports on the
radio. The ports are labeled 1 and 2 on the physical radio. See the radio illustration in Components
of the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radios on page 15.
These parameters are available in Serial Setup:
l Serial Port Mode - This setting defines whether the port acts as a TCP terminal server,
TCP client, UDP client, or Multicast.
l Serial Settings - This setting defines data transmission settings (e.g., Baud Rate and
Flow Control).
l Set these parameters to match the device the port is connected to.

Each serial port is setup independently and configured on its own tab or Configuration Windows.
The ports can have different baud rates, parity, protocol, and so on, but must match the device to
which it is connected. To access either port, a client needs to call the IP address of the radio plus
its assigned port number.

Note: See Viewing the Serial Port Status on page 67 to view the status of each serial port.

4.1. Set the Serial Port Mode

The first parameter is to define the serial port using the:
l MULTICAST Settings.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 72 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Baud Rate
Setting Description
Description: This is the actual baud rate for the radio’s data port.
This setting is the communication rate between the radio and the instrument to
which it is connected, and is independent of the baud rate for the other radios in
the network. It is also independent of the other serial port on the radio.

Set the baud rate to the highest level supported by the device to
which it is connected.
With a poor radio link, however, this may actually result in slower
data communications.

Example: A pair of radios may be used in an application to send data from

remote process instrumentation to the engineer's computer. In this
application, the baud rate for the radio on the instrumentation might be set
to 9600, and the radio on the engineer's computer might be set to 57,600.

Note: The serial ports do not support RFC 2217 level flow control. To
avoid congestion-related data loss, use a link data rate that is at least 2
times higher than the actual data flow rate.

4.4.7. CD Mode
CD Mode
Setting Description
Web Parameter: CD Mode list box in the Serial Settings area of the Serial Setup window (on page
168).

Options: l Normal - CD is asserted when a TCP connection to the associated port is
made, and de-asserted when the TCP connection is closed. Most serial
devices use this option.
l Keyed - CD asserts 500 µs before transmit, and de-asserts 1 ms after the
transmission of the first bit of the last byte of data. This option should be used
with serial devices that require the CD line to be asserted prior to the
transmission of data.
Description: Controls the function of the CD line on the serial port.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 78 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

4.4.18. TCP Server Inactivity Timeout

TCP Server Inactivity Timeout
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Inactivity Timeout (Seconds) text box in the TCP Server Settings area of the
Serial Setup window (on page 168).
Terminal Menu: (2) Serial Setup 1 or (3) Serial Setup 2 > (2) Inactivity Timeout
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: 0
Options: Any number of seconds.
Description: This setting controls how long, in seconds, an incoming TCP connection must be
idle (that is, no data being transferred) before the radio drops the connection.
A setting of 0 means that the radio never disconnects an idle connection—all
disconnects need to come from the client.

FREEWAVE Recommends: In some RTUs, after the RTU is connected

to the radio as a client, the RTU does not properly disconnect the TCP
session. To help overcome this potential behavior of some RTUs,
FreeWave recommends setting the Inactivity Timeout parameter to 10.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 81 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

5. Radio Settings

Use the settings on the Radio Setup window (on page 156) to set the general functioning of the
radio.
The available parameters are:
l Operation Mode - Designates the mode the radio uses to communicate and the
network type.
l Transmission Characteristics - Transmission characteristics (e.g., Frequency Key and
the packet size parameters) are for advanced users only.

Important!: It is critical to understand the principles of RF data transmission to change these

parameters.

l Point-to-Point - The Transmit Rate and the Call Book are mainly for use in a Point-to-
Point network.

Note: See the Call Book window on page 158.

l Multipoint Parameters - A Point-to-MultiPoint network requires that several parameters

are set consistently on all radios in the network. This includes RF Data Rate, Min and Max
Packet Size, and Frequency Key.

In a Point-to-Point network, the Gateway determines all settings in an Endpoint or Repeater,

except for the Transmit Power and Retry Timeout. All other settings in a Point-to-Point network
are determined by the Gateway's settings.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 82 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Caution: Changes made to the radio settings can cause the radios to lose communication with
the Gateway and Multipoint Repeaters.
Use caution when making global changes using the Global Change function.
For more information about making global changes, see Use the MultiPoint Gateway to Change
All Connected Radios (on page 33).

5.1. Radio Setup Parameter Reference

This section contains the radio setup parameters.

Note: See the Parameter Preference (on page 13) for the parameter table descriptions of the
parameters and controls.

5.1.1. Addressed Repeat

Note: This setting MUST match between the Gateway and all Repeaters.

Addressed Repeat
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Addressed Repeat list box in the MultiPoint Parameters area of the Radio
Setup window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (A) Addressed Repeat
Network Type: MultiPoint
Default Setting: 3
Options: Any number between 0 and 9.
Description: In a MultiPoint network where the Repeaters parameter is set to Disabled, most
packets from the Gateway are addressed to a specific MAC address. This
addressing allows the destination device to send an acknowledgment back to the
Gateway that the packet was received successfully.
The Addressed Repeat parameter determines the maximum number of times the
Gateway repeats its data packet if it does not receive an acknowledgment from
the destination device.
l This repeat is a smart repeat - the Gateway only repeats its data if it does
not receive an acknowledgment.
l Changing this setting to a higher number can increase the reliability of
weaker radio links while keeping the maximum possible throughput for that
link.
In Endpoints, this setting determines how many times the Endpoint retries a
packet of addressed data before taking the action set in the Slave Connect Odds
parameter.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 83 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

5.1.2. Broadcast Repeat

Note: This setting MUST match between the Gateway and all Repeaters.

Broadcast Repeat
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Broadcast Repeat list box in the MultiPoint Parameters area of the Radio Setup
window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (B) Broadcast Repeat
Network Type: MultiPoint
Default Setting: 3
Options: Any number between 0 and 9.
Description: In Endpoints, this setting determines how many times the Endpoint retries a
packet of broadcast data before taking the action set in the Slave Connect Odds
(on page 98) parameter.
The Broadcast Repeat parameter may be set to 0 in the Gateway if the software
is capable of or requires acknowledgment. In this case, if the Gateway sends a
packet that the Endpoint does not receive, the software controls the retries, as
needed.
l For networks with solid RF links, this parameter should be set to a low
value such as 1 or 2.
l If a network has some weak or marginal links, this parameter should be set
to higher values.
l If an Endpoint receives a good packet from a Gateway more than once, it
discards the repeated packets.
l Similarly, after a MultiPoint Repeater receives a good packet from the
Gateway more than once, it discards any further repeated packets.
l In turn, the Repeater sends the packet out to the next Repeater or Endpoint
(s) the number of times corresponding to its own Broadcast Repeat
parameter setting.
In a network that contains radios set as a Repeater, all packets from the Gateway
are considered broadcast MAC address packets.

Increasing the Broadcast Repeat parameter setting in this type of

network increases the probability of a packet getting through.
It also increases latency and decreases Gateway-to-Repeater and
Gateway-to-Endpoint throughput in the network because each
packet from the Gateway or Repeater is being sent multiple times.

Important!: Find the optimal mix between network robustness,

throughput, and latency.
In general, a setting of 2 to 3 works well for most well designed networks.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 84 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

5.1.3. Broadcast Repeat in MultiPoint Networks with Repeaters

The Broadcast Repeat parameter must also be set in MultiPoint Repeaters because a Repeater
appears as a Gateway to an Endpoint.
Therefore, the Repeater sends the packet out the number of times corresponding to its own
Broadcast Repeat parameter setting. If this parameter is set improperly, the reliability of the
overall network may be diminished.

Example: If a Gateway's Broadcast Repeat parameter is set to 3, the link between the Gateway
and Repeater should be robust.
If the Repeater's Broadcast Repeat parameter is set to 0, this could cause marginal communication
between the Repeater and the Endpoints.
The Endpoints communicating through this Repeater only receives the initial packet from the
Gateway with no repeats.
Therefore, if the packet is not received on the first try, the Endpoint does not respond as expected.

Important!: This parameter should NEVER be set higher on a Repeater than on its Gateway.

5.1.4. Frequency Key

Note: If subnet IDs are not used to route network traffic, the Frequency Key must match on all
radios in the network.

Frequency Key
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Frequency Key list box in the Transmission Characteristics area of the Radio
Setup window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (2) Frequency Key
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: 5
Options: Any number between 0 to 9, or any letter between A to E.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 85 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Frequency Key
Setting Description
Description: This setting changes the hopping patterns of the radio.
l There are 15 choices available for the Frequency Key parameter
representing 15 different pseudo-random hop patterns.
l These hopping patterns minimize the interference with other FreeWave
radios operating in the area.

Example: If there were 10 pairs of FreeWave radios operating on different

networks in close proximity, setting a different Frequency Key value for
each pair reduces the chance that radios hop to the same frequency at the
same time.
If two networks were to hop to the same frequency by chance, the next
hop would be to a different frequency for both networks.
To use a different Frequency Key, subnet IDs MUST be used.

Note: See Subnet ID on page 99.

Additional network separation can be gained by adjusting the Max

and Min Packet Size settings.

5.1.5. Frequency Zones

Important!: When trying to inter-operate and there are radios with different Country Codes on the
Status window (on page 175), contact FreeWave Customer Support for assistance.
See Contact FreeWave Technical Support on page 12.

Note: In MultiPoint networks, this setting only needs to be set on the Gateway. In a Point-to-Point
network, the Gateway and the Endpoint must have matching Frequency Zone settings.

Frequency Zones
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Zones check boxes in the Transmission Characteristics area of the Radio
Setup window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (3) Zones
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: All selected

Note: HTP-900RE-SR004 and HTP-900SEO-SR004 models are

configured to limit frequencies to 915 MHz to 927 MHz.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 86 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Frequency Zones
Setting Description
Options: See Description.
Description: In the Radio Setup window, the zones are listed as check boxes in the Zones box
in the Transmission Characteristics area.
Select the check box next to the zone to enable it.

Important!: A cleared check box indicates the radio does NOT use that
frequency.

This setting divides the available band into smaller bands (i.e., 16 smaller bands
each consisting of 2 or 3 frequency channels):
l 902 MHz to 928 MHz
l The zones listed are in MHz.
l The radio requires at least one zone active to operate.

5.1.6. Master Tx Beacon

Note: This setting MUST to be the same in every Gateway, Repeater, and Endpoint.

Master Tx Beacon
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Master Tx Beacon list box in the MultiPoint Parameters area of the Radio Setup
window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (E) Master Tx Beacon
Network Type: MultiPoint
Default Setting: 1
Options: Any number between 1 and 9.
Description: This setting controls the Gateway's duty-cycle during idle times.
l By default, the Gateway transmits every frame, whether there is payload
data or not.
l Selecting a number larger than 1 in this parameter causes the Gateway to
skip that number of transmit frames when it has no other data to send.
l This skip can reduce the power usage from the Gateway during idle
times.
l If data does come into the Gateway, the Gateway transmits that data
regardless of this setting.

Note: In a network that has the Repeaters parameter set to Enabled, this
parameter must be set to 1.

5.1.7. Max Packet Size and Min Packet Size

Note: In MultiPoint networks, the Max Packet Size and Min Packet Size must be identical in all
radios.
In Point-to-Point networks the Gateway’s settings take precedence over the Endpoint.

Max Packet Size and Min Packet Size

Setting Description
Web Parameter: Max Packet Size and Min Packet Size list boxes in the Transmission
Characteristics area of the Radio Setup window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (4) Max Packet Size
(4) Radio Setup > (5) Min Packet Size
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: l Max Packet Size = 9
l Min Packet Size = 1
Use these settings for the overall best throughput.
Options: Any number between 0 and 9.
Description: The Max and Min Packet Size settings and the RF Data Rate determine the
number of bytes in the packets.
l Throughput can be enhanced when packet sizes are optimized.
l In Point-to-Point mode, the Max and Min Packet Size parameter settings
do not have material impact on throughput unless a data rate of 92 kbps is
applicable.
This may have an impact on latency.

Example: If small amounts of data are sent and large packet sizes are
selected, there would be a certain amount of time “wasted” between each
packet.

This table defines the minimum packet size (in bytes) of the Min Packet Size setting versus the
RF Data Rate setting.

Note: Using the default settings, the actual minimum packet size for the radios, in bytes, is 21.

8 165 186 207 229 250
9 170 191 213 234 255

Referencing the default settings, the Gateway transmits a maximum of 213 bytes on every hop. If
fewer than 213 bytes are transmitted by the Gateway, the balance is allocated to the Endpoint's
transmission, plus the quantity in the Min Packet Size setting.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 89 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Example: If a Gateway transmits 100 bytes, the Endpoint then has a total of 134 bytes available
[113 (leftover bytes) + 21 (Min Packet Size)].

Options: See Modem Mode Options (on page 91).

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 90 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Modem Mode
Setting Description
Description: The Network Type and Modem Mode options designate the method FreeWave
radios use to communicate with each other. FreeWave Ethernet radios operate in
a Gateway-to-Endpoint configuration. Before the radios can operate together, they
must be set up to properly communicate.
l In a standard configuration, the Gateway mode should be used on the end
which will be connected to the LAN.
l When setting up the radio, remember that a number of parameters are
controlled by the settings in the Gateway.
l Therefore, deploying the Gateway on the communications end where it is
easier to access is strongly advised.

Note: This parameter is hidden in the Configuration Windows when

Global Changes are enabled.
For more information about making global changes, see Use the MultiPoint
Gateway to Change All Connected Radios (on page 33).

Modem Mode Options

Repeaters are commonly used in serial networks to connect long distances, but not in Ethernet
networks. If the network topology requires a Repeater to connect radios over greater distances,
use a back-to-back Repeater where data is repeated over a wire instead of over the air. This
preserves throughput.

Modem Mode Options

Operation Mode Description
Point-to-Point Designates the radio as the Gateway in Point-to-Point mode.
Gateway l The Gateway may call any or all Endpoints designated in its Call Book.
l A quick method of identifying a Gateway is to power the radio.

Note: Prior to establishing a communication link with an Endpoint or

Repeater, all three of the Gateway’s lower LEDs (CD, TX, CTS) are solid
red ( ).

Point-to-Point Designates the radio as an Endpoint in Point-to-Point mode.

Endpoint The Endpoint communicates with any Gateway in its Call Book, either directly or
through up to four Repeaters.

Note: When functioning as an Endpoint, the Entry to Call feature in the

radio’s Call Book is not operational.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 91 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Modem Mode Options

Operation Mode Description
MultiPoint Designates the radio as a Gateway in MultiPoint mode.
Gateway l This mode allows one Gateway radio to simultaneously be in
communication with numerous Endpoints and Repeaters.
l A MultiPoint Gateway communicates only with other radios designated as
MultiPoint Endpoints or MultiPoint Repeaters.
MultiPoint Designates the radio as an Endpoint in MultiPoint mode.
Endpoint l This mode allows the Endpoint to communicate with a MultiPoint Gateway.
l The Endpoint may communicate with its Gateway through one or more
Repeaters.
Point-to-Point FreeWave allows the use of a maximum four (4) Repeaters in a Point-to-Point
Repeater communications link, significantly extending the operating range.
(Single Radio l When designated as a Point-to-Point Repeater, a radio behaves as a pass-
Repeater) through link.
l All settings for the baud rates and RF transmission characteristics are
disabled.
l A Repeater connects with any Gateway that calls it.
l The Repeater must be set up properly in the Gateway's Call Book.
l In Point-to-Point mode, the Repeater is NOT an Endpoint/Repeater.
l The Call Book MUST be set in Point-to-Point mode.

Note: This operation mode should be used when operating the radio as a
terminal server only (no RF connectivity).

Important!: Adding a Repeater to a network cuts the network throughput

by 50%.

Note: For more information, see the Call Book window (on page 158).

MultiPoint Allows the radio to operate as an Endpoint/Repeater in a MultiPoint network.

Repeater
(Single Radio Important!: Some advanced features of the radio do NOT operate in
Repeater) networks containing Repeaters. FreeWave does not recommend the use
of single-radio Repeaters.

Important!: Adding a Repeater to a network cuts the network throughput

by 50%.

Any Repeater in a Point-to-MultiPoint network is an Endpoint/Repeater.

5.1.9. Network ID
Network ID
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Network ID text box in the MultiPoint Parameters area of the Radio Setup
window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (F) Network ID
Network Type: MultiPoint
Default Setting: l 255 in software earlier than 2.30.
l 1 in software 2.30 and later.
Options: Any number between 0 and 4095.
Description: Use the Network ID to establish MultiPoint networks without using the Call Book.
l To enable the Network ID, the value must be set between 0 and 4095
(excluding 255, which disables the Network ID and enables the Call Book).
l Because the Network ID does not use serial numbers, MultiPoint Gateways
and Repeaters may be replaced without reconfiguring all of the Endpoints in
the network.
l An Endpoint links with the first Gateway or Repeater that it hears that has a
matching Network ID.
l The Network ID should be used in conjunction with the Subnet ID feature (if
necessary) to route data through the radio network.
l Without having the serial numbers in the Call Book, Endpoints may establish
communications with different Masters, though not at the same time.
l This is very useful in mobile MultiPoint applications.

FREEWAVE Recommends: A Network ID of four characters.

Example: The last four digits of the Gateway's serial number.

Using the last four digits of the Gateway's serial number, if it is

below 4095, helps to ensure the Network ID is unique and does not
overlap with other nearby FreeWave networks.

Caution: Avoid using numbers that coincide with nearby landmarks

or highways.

5.1.10. Network Type

Network Type
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Network Type list box in the Operation Mode are of the Radio Setup window (on
page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (0) Network Type
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: l Point-to-Point in software earlier than 2.30.
l Point-to-MultiPoint in software 2.30 and later.
Options: MultiPoint, Point-to-Point
Description: This setting indicates the type of network the radio resides in. This selection and
the selection in the Modem Mode parameter determine the operation mode of the
radio (e.g., a Point-to-Point Gateway).

Note: For descriptions of each network type and modem mode

combination, see Modem Mode on page 90.

Important!: The network type MUST match for all radios in a network.

Example: If configuring a Point-to-MultiPoint network, verify the Network

Type selection for each radio in the network is MultiPoint.

Note: This parameter is hidden in the Configuration Windows when

Global Changes are enabled.
For more information about making global changes, see Use the MultiPoint

Network Type: MultiPoint
Default Setting: Disabled
Options: l Disabled
l Enabled

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 94 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Repeaters
Setting Description
Description:
Important!: In a MultiPoint network, it is critical to transmission timing to
configure this parameter correctly.

l Set to Disabled if there are no Repeaters in the network.

l Set to Enabled if any number of Repeaters exist in the network.

Important!: Many advanced features of the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS
Radio are restricted in networks where the Repeaters parameter is set to
Enabled.

Note: For best operation, FreeWave does NOT recommend the use of
single-radio Repeaters.

5.1.12. Retry Timeout

Important!: While intended primarily for MultiPoint networks, the Retry Time Out parameter may
also be modified in Point-to-Point networks. However, the value in Point-to-Point mode should not be
set to less than 151.

Retry Timeout
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Retry Timeout list box in the Transmission Characteristics area of the Radio
Setup window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (7) Retry Timeout
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: 255
Options: Any number between 8 and 255 in MultiPoint networks.
Any number between 151 and 255 in Point-to-Point networks.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 95 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Retry Timeout
Setting Description
Description: The Retry Time Out parameter in an Endpoint or Repeater sets the delay the unit
waits before dropping the connection to a Gateway or Repeater in MultiPoint
mode.
l The maximum setting means that if 1 packet in 255 is received successfully,
the link is maintained.
l The minimum setting is 8.
l This allows an Endpoint or Repeater to drop a connection if less than 1 in 8
consecutive packets is successfully received from the Gateway.
l With a setting of 255, the Gateway allows an Endpoint or Repeater to stay
connected as long as 1 packet in 255 is successfully received at the Gateway.

The Retry Time Out parameter is useful when a MultiPoint network

has a roving Gateway or Endpoint(s). As the link gets weaker, a
lower setting allows a poor link to break in search of a different link.

FREEWAVE Recommends: Setting the Retry Time Out parameter to

20 in areas where several FreeWave networks exist.
This setting allows Endpoints and Repeaters to drop the connection if the
link becomes too weak, while preventing errant disconnects due to
interference from neighboring networks.

5.1.13. RF Data Rate

Important!: In MultiPoint networks, the RF Data Rate MUST be set identically in all radios.

l Any radio with an RF Data Rate different from the Gateway will not establish a link.
l In Point-to-Point networks, the Gateway’s settings take precedence over the Endpoint.

RF Data Rate
Setting Description
Web Parameter: RF Data Rate list box in the Transmission Characteristics area of the Radio
Setup window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (8) RF Data Rate
Network Type: Both
Default Setting: 154 kbps
Options: l 115 kbps
l 154 kbps

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 96 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

RF Data Rate
Setting Description
Description:
Important!: Do NOT confuse the RF Data Rate with the serial port Baud
Rate.

l Use a setting of 154 kbps when:

l the radios are close together.
l data throughput needs to be optimized.
l A setting of 154 kbps MUST also be used when:
l the full throughput of 92 kbps is necessary.
l A setting of 115 kbps115 kbps should be used when:
l the radios are farther away.
l a solid data link is preferred over data throughput.
The maximum available throughput is:
l ≈ 70 kbps at an RF Data Rate of 115 kbps.
l ≈ 92 kbps at an RF Data Rate of 154 kbps.

5.1.14. Slave Attempts

Slave Attempts
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Slave Connect Odds list box in the MultiPoint Parameters area of the Radio
Setup window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (C) Slave Connect Odds
Network Type: MultiPoint
Default Setting: 9
Options: Any number between 1 and 15.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 97 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Slave Attempts
Setting Description
Description: This setting, in conjunction with the Slave Connect Odds (on page 98) parameter,
controls how the Endpoint retries sending its data when it fails to receive a
connection acknowledgment from the Gateway.
At each slot the Gateway is available, the Endpoint retries connecting with the
Gateway. If the radio retries and still cannot connect with the Gateway, the cycle
starts again.
l The odds determination can happen an unlimited number of times.
l It is important in larger networks to help manage contention over connecting to
the Gateway.
l The higher the Slave Connect Odds parameter setting, the more persistent
that Endpoint is in attempting to acquire the Gateway’s connection.
l This setting is a chance out of a total of 15.

Example: A setting of 1 means the radio has a 1 in 15 chance

(6.66%) and a setting of 9 means a 9 in 15 chance (60%).

l The maximum number of connection retries are determined by the Endpoint’s

Addressed Repeat (on page 83) and Broadcast Repeat (on page 84) parameter
settings.
l After the Endpoint has tried reconnecting with the Gateway for the number of
Broadcast Repeats or Addressed Repeats (depending on the specific
packet type), the Endpoint then takes the action listed in the Slave Connect
Odds parameter.

5.1.15. Slave Connect Odds

Slave Connect Odds
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Slave Connect Odds AND THEN list box in the MultiPoint Parameters area of
the Radio Setup window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (D) And Then
Network Type: MultiPoint
Default Setting: Drop Data

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 98 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Slave Connect Odds

Setting Description
Options: l Drop Data - The Endpoint throws away the current data it failed to send.
l The pattern begins again upon receipt of new data.
l Drop Link - The Endpoint drops its link with the Gateway or Repeater for a
brief amount of time and then re-links.
l Try Forever - The Endpoint waits a brief amount of time before starting again
with the data retries.
l It keeps retrying the same packet of data until it succeeds.
Description: This controls how the Endpoint retries sending its data when it fails to receive a
connection acknowledgment from the Gateway.
This can happen when multiple Endpoints are in contention for the Gateway’s
connection at the same time.
l In the Radio Setup window, the number in the first drop-down box in the Slave
Connect Odds parameter indicates the odds that an Endpoint retries the
connection on the Gateway’s next available slot.
l Contact FreeWave Technical Support to change this parameter. See
Contact FreeWave Technical Support (on page 12).

5.1.16. Subnet ID
Note: See Data Communication Link Examples (on page 136) for additional subnet information and
examples.

Subnet ID
Setting Description
Web Parameter: Subnet ID (RX) and Subnet ID (TX) list boxes in the MultiPoint Parameters
area of the Radio Setup window (on page 156).
Terminal Menu: (4) Radio Setup > (H) Subnet ID (RX)
(4) Radio Setup > (I) Subnet ID (TX)
Network Type: MultiPoint using the Network ID option
Default Setting: F, F in software earlier than 2.30
RX=0, TX=F in software 2.30 and later
Options: l Any number between 0 and 9.
l Any letter between A and F.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 99 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

Subnet ID
Setting Description
Description: In a MultiPoint network with a Subnet ID (RX) of F and a Subnet ID (TX) of F, an
Endpoint or Repeater connects with the first Repeater or Gateway that it hears
with the same Network ID (on page 93).
There are scenarios, however, where communication needs to be forced to follow
a specific path.

Using Subnet IDs is particularly helpful to force two Repeaters in the

same network to operate in series rather than in parallel or to force
Endpoints to communicate to a specific Repeater for load balancing
purposes.

5.1.17. Transmit Power

6. Security Settings

Use the settings on the Security tab or Security window to define elements that enhance the
security of the network, the data that is passed, and customer support information. Typically, a
Network Administrator addresses security parameters.

Set the security settings using the Security menu in the terminal interface accessed through a
terminal emulator.

Use the Security parameters to set these security features:

l Remote Authentication Dial In Service (RADIUS) server information - Requires
authentication from Endpoints and MultiPoint Repeaters before being able to send or
receive Ethernet data.
l The radios comply with the RADIUS standards set forth in RFC 2138. The authentication

method used in PLUS Radios is PAP.

l RADIUS authentication allows control over which radios are allowed to communicate on

the Ethernet network. Without authentication, an Endpoint or MultiPoint Repeater are

not allowed to send or receive Ethernet data across its RF link.
l AES Encryption - Encodes the data in the network.
l MAC Filtering - Limits the addresses that can communicate with the radio through its
Ethernet port.
l System Logging - The system automatically writes events to a local system log.
l Miscellaneous Security Options - Additional security options allow:
l disabling the Ethernet port on a radio.

l Force viewing of the configuration Web pages through a secure protocol (https).

l Enabling a Gateway to transmit over the RF link and not the Ethernet port when data is

received from specific radios in the network.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 102 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

6.1. Viewing the System Log

As activity happens on a PLUS Radio, the system logs the activity.

Example: Each time a user logs into the Configuration Windows or a system upgrade is initiated, the
system makes an entry in the log.

Note: The system log time is pulled from the NTP server, if the NTP Client setting in the IP Setup
parameters is enabled.
If the NTP Client setting is disabled, the log date and time is reset to midnight, November 30,1999,
each time the radio reboots.

frequency hop table.
l Ideally, noise levels should be below -80 dBm.

FREEWAVE Recommends: The difference between the average signal level and average
noise level should be 30 dBm or more.

l Noise levels significantly higher than this are an indication of a high level of interference that
may degrade the performance of the link.
l High noise levels can often be mitigated with band pass filters, antenna placement, or
antenna polarization.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 132 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

8.2.18. RX Success Rate

Note: This statistic is only valid in a MultiPoint network.

l This is the percentage of packets this radio has successfully received.

l This statistic displays 0.00% in a MultiPoint Gateway.

FREEWAVE Recommends: A minimum 75% success rate for proper radio operation.

8.2.19. RX Throughput
The throughput of data being received over the radio link within the last 1 second.

8.2.20. Signal
The level of received signal at this radio.
l The signal source is the radio that transmits to this radio, shown in the Connected To field.
l The number is an average of the received signal levels measured at each frequency in the
radio's frequency hop table.

FREEWAVE Recommends: For a reliable link, the margin between the average signal level
and average noise level should be 30 dBm or more.

l Low average signal levels can often be corrected with higher gain antennas, better antenna
placement, and/or additional Repeaters.

Note: See the installation manual for antenna and FCC requirements.

FREEWAVE Recommends: A minimum of 75% success rate for proper radio operation.

8.2.27. TX Throughput
The throughput of data being transmitted over the radio link within the last 1 second.

8.2.28. Un-Acked Packets

The number of Ethernet packets sent using a broadcast MAC address.

Note: The destination device does NOT acknowledge these packets.

In a network where the Repeaters parameter is set to Enabled, all packets become
unacknowledged, and this statistic displays a high number of packets.
In a network where the Repeaters parameter is set to Disabled, this statistic can indicate:
l On the Gateway, this statistic shows a packet that is addressed to a device the Gateway
believes is on its wireless network, the Gateway has exhausted all of its packet retries, and
the Gateway never received any acknowledgments for that packet. Reasons for this include
the following:
l The destination address is not actually in the wireless network.

l The destination could not hear the packet from the Gateway.

l The Gateway could not hear the acknowledgment from the destination.

l On an Endpoint, this statistic shows a packet that is being sent to the Gateway, the
Endpoint has received no acknowledgments from the Gateway, and the Endpoint has
exhausted its maximum number of attempts per the Slave Connect Odds parameter.
It is still possible that any packet included in this statistic was successfully delivered, but the radio is
unable to obtain an acknowledgment that the packet succeeded.

8.2.29. Upstream Noise

The value refers to the amount of noise between the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U device and the
upstream device.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 134 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

9. Data Communication Link Examples

A FreeWave radio's versatility allows data communication links to be established using a variety of
different configurations.
l Example 1: Gateway to Endpoint (on page 137).
l Example 2: Gateway, Repeater, and Endpoint (on page 137).
l Example 3: Gateway, Two Repeaters, and Endpoint (on page 138).
l Example 4: Gateway, Repeater, and Multiple Endpoints (on page 139).
l Example 5: Standard Point-to-MultiPoint Network (on page 140).
l Example 6: Point-to-MultiPoint Network with an Endpoint/Repeater Site (on page 141).

Note: Subnet examples are here: Assigning Subnet Values on page 142.

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 136 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

9.1. Example 1: Gateway to Endpoint

This example shows the most common and straight forward link; a Gateway communicating to an
Endpoint in a Point-to-Point link.

Figure 42: Example 1: Gateway to Endpoint

9.2. Example 2: Gateway, Repeater, and Endpoint

This example shows how a link might be set up using a Repeater.
l The Repeater may be located on a hilltop or other elevated structure enhancing the link
from the Gateway to the Endpoint.
l In this configuration, it may be desirable to use an external Omni-directional antenna at the
Repeater.
l Yagi antennas may be used at both the Gateway and Endpoint radios.

l When a Repeater is used, the RF throughput is cut in half.

Important!: Adding a Repeater to a network cuts the network throughput by 50%.

Figure 43: Example 2: Gateway, Repeater, Endpoint

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 137 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

9.3. Example 3: Gateway, Two Repeaters, and Endpoint

This example shows a link with two Repeaters between the Gateway and Endpoint.
l With two Repeaters, there is clearly more flexibility in getting around obstacles and greater
total range is possible.
l When two Repeaters are used, there is no further degradation in the RF throughput of the
link.

Use external Omni-directional antennas with the Repeaters.

Attach a Yagi to the Gateway and Endpoint to increase the range of the link.

Figure 44: Example 3: Gateway, Two Repeaters, and Endpoint

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 138 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

9.4. Example 4: Gateway, Repeater, and Multiple Endpoints

This example shows a configuration where a Gateway routinely calls a number of Endpoints at
different times.
l The Gateway is communicating with a radio designated as an Endpoint/Repeater that is
connected to a remote device.
l Since this device is placed in an elevated location, the radio may also be used as a
Repeater when it is not used as an Endpoint.
l At any time the Gateway may call any of the Endpoints, establish a connection, and send
and receive data.

Figure 45: Example 4: Gateway, Repeater, and Multiple Endpoints

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 139 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

9.5. Example 5: Standard Point-to-MultiPoint Network

This example shows a standard Point-to-MultiPoint network.
l From the Gateway, any data is broadcast to all three Endpoints, one of which receives it
through a MultiPoint Repeater.
l The data is sent out of the serial port of each of the three Endpoints.
l The end device should be configured to interpret the serial message and act on it, if
necessary.

Figure 46: Example 5: Standard Point-to-MultiPoint Network

LUM0024AB Rev May-2018 Page 140 of 211 Copyright © 2018 FreeWave

9.6. Example 6: Point-to-MultiPoint Network with an

Endpoint/Repeater Site
This example is a Point-to-MultiPoint network which uses one of the sites as an
Endpoint/Repeater.
l This network functions in the same manner as a standard MultiPoint network with
Repeaters.
l However, the number of radios may be reduced with the use of the MultiPoint
Endpoint/Repeater feature.

Figure 47: Example 6: Point-to-MultiPoint Network with an Endpoint/Repeater

Site

Note: A poor signal path can cause a link to drop or miss data.
If a re-transmit of the missed data is required, this takes time and can cause the network to slow.
When the radio network is designed, ensure that the links are set up at optimal distances to ensure
good signal quality throughout the network.

9.7. Assigning Subnet Values

Subnet IDs consist of two parts, both available in the Multipoint Parameters area of the Radio
Setup window:
l Rx - This setting identifies the radio a Repeater or Endpoint listens to.
l Tx - This setting identifies the ID this device transmits on and which devices listen to it.
l The Tx Subnet ID parameter is only relevant for MultiPoint Gateway radios and

Repeaters.
l The default (disable) setting for both Rx and Tx is F,F.
l This is a visual way to indicate that the device is the final in the line of communication and

does NOT use a subnet ID.

l A MultiPoint Endpoint with a Subnet ID of F,F does NOT roam from one Repeater or
network to the next.
l It only links to a Gateway or Repeater that has either a Tx setting of 0 (zero) or an F, F

Subnet ID.
l Setting both the Rx and Tx Subnet ID to 0 allows a mobile Endpoint to roam from subnet
to subnet, and possibly from network to network, provided the Network ID, Max and Min
Packet Size, and RF Data Rates are the same between networks.
The examples in this section show the subnet definitions from the Gateway radio through the
network to the Endpoint radios. When the subnet path is defined, the Endpoint radios can follow
the route back to the Gateway.

9.7.1. Subnet Example 1

This example shows a network where subnet IDs are used to force communications along a
specific path.

Subnet ID Settings for This Example

Radio Rx Tx Additional Information
Gateway 0 0 The default settings (F, F) actually use 0, 0.
The Rx Subnet on the Gateway has no effect on the network.
Repeater1 0 1 A 0 (zero) forces the radio to link only to the Gateway.
Repeater2 1 2 Rx Subnet = 1 forces communication through Repeater 1.
Repeater 1 transmits on subnet 2.
Endpoint 2 F Rx Subnet = 2 forces communication through Repeater 2.
The Endpoint is the end of the network, so its Tx Subnet is F.

9.7.2. Subnet Example 2

In this example:
l Repeater 2 must communicate through Repeater 1.
l The Endpoint connected to Repeater 1 must route through Repeater 1.
l The other two Endpoint radios must route through Endpoint/Repeater 2.

Subnet ID Settings for This Example

Radio Rx Tx Additional Information
Gateway 0 0 The default settings (F, F) actually use 0, 0.
The Rx Subnet on the Gateway has no effect on the
network.
Endpoint 1 0 F Rx Subnet = 0 forces the radio to link only to the Gateway.
The Endpoint does NOT transmit to any device except the
Gateway, so its Tx Subnet is F.
Repeater 1 0 1 Rx Subnet = 0 forces the radio to link only to the Gateway.
Transmits on subnet 1.
Endpoint 2 0 F Rx Subnet = 0 forces the radio to link only to the Gateway.
Endpoint / Repeater 1 2 Rx Subnet = 1 forces the radio to link only to Repeater 1.
2 It transmits on Tx Subnet 2 to Endpoint 4 and 5.
Endpoint 3 1 F Rx Subnet = 1 forces the radio to link only to Repeater 1.
The Endpoint does not transmit to any device except
Repeater 1, so its Tx Subnet is F.
Endpoint 4 2 F Rx Subnet = 2 forces the radio to link with
Endpoint/Repeater 2.
Endpoint 5 2 F Rx Subnet = 2 forces the radio to link with
Endpoint/Repeater 2.

9.7.3. Subnet Example 3

In this example:
l Repeater 1 must talk directly to the Gateway.
l Repeater 2 must talk directly to Repeater 1.
l Endpoint 1, 2, and 3 are forced along the direction of the solid lines.
l Endpoint 4 may link to the first Gateway or Repeater it hears in the network.

Subnet ID Settings for this Example

Radio Rx Tx Additional Information
Gateway 0-F 0-F The default settings (F, F) actually use 0, 0.
The Rx Subnet on the Gateway has no effect on the
network.
Repeater 1 0 1 A 0 forces the radio to link only to the Gateway.
Repeater 2 1 2 Rx Subnet = 1 forces communication through Repeater 1.
Repeater 1 transmits on Subnet ID 1.
Endpoint 1 0 0 or F Rx Subnet = 0 forces communication through the Gateway.
Endpoint 2 1 0 or F Rx Subnet = 1 forces communication through Repeater 1.
Endpoint 3 2 0 or F Rx Subnet = 2 forces communication through Repeater 2.
Endpoint 4 0 0 The 0,0 setting allows the Endpoint to link with the first
Gateway or Repeater it hears with the same Network ID.

10. Additional Radio Information

This chapter contains additional information about the radios described in this manual:
l Operational RS422 and RS485 information
l Connector pin assignments

10.1. Operational RS422 and RS485 Information

For RS422 and RS485, the FreeWave radio can drive 32 standard unit loads and loads the bus
with only 1/8 unit load. A maximum of 256 devices can be tied on the bus if all of the line receivers
have 1/8 unit load.
10.1.1. RS422
RS422 is used for 4-wire or full duplex communication with one Gateway and multiple Endpoint
radios.
The Gateway radio keeps the line driver asserted at all times. The maximum line length is 4,000
feet using two, 120 ohm twisted pair cables with a fifth wire for data common.

10.1.2. RS485
RS485 full duplex using 4-wire plus common is the same as RS422, except the system can have
multiple Masters on the bus.
The most common operation of RS485 is a two-wire comprised of a 120 ohm impedance single
twisted pair.
l In this system, the loading of the FreeWave radio as described allows a maximum of 256
1/8 unit load units on the bus.
l Maximum line length is also 4,000 feet with a third wire required for data common.
l The FreeWave radio checks the line to be certain no other device is transmitting before
enabling the line driver for data transmission.

Note: There is no provision for handshaking in any of the above modes of operation, so data rates of
57.6 KBaud and above are not recommended without a protocol that can handle error detection
properly.

12.4. Call Book window

Using the Call Book offers both security and flexibility in determining how FreeWave radios
communicate with each other.
The Call Book window is used to designate this communication between the radios.

Important!: The Call Book is required in Point-to-Point networks.

The instructions in this section are for Point-to-Point mode only.

Note: When functioning as an Endpoint, the Entry to Call feature in the radio’s Call Book is not
operational.

FREEWAVE Recommends: While the Call Book is an option in Point-to-MultiPoint networks,

Required: Set these options for two FreeWave radios to communicate in Point-to-Point mode:
1. The Gateway serial number must be listed in the Endpoint Call Book (Endpoint column).
2. The Endpoint serial number must be listed in the Call Book on the Gateway Call Book
(Endpoint column).
3. The Gateway must be programmed to call the Endpoint (Entry to Call option).
The Call Book allows a maximum of 10 FreeWave radios.
l Designate:
l 1 to 4 Repeaters to use with each radio.

l which Endpoint the Gateway calls.

l To set the Entry to Call option:

a. Click the list box arrow and select the number in the Entry to Call list.
b. Select All to direct the Gateway to call all Endpoints.
If a Call Book entry uses 3 or 4 Repeaters:
l The total number of available Endpoint entries is reduced.
l An extra Call Book line is in use for Repeaters #3 and #4.
l To set the Entry to Call option, click the list box arrow and select the appropriate Entry
number in the Entry to Call.

Important!: The Call Book slots (0-9) MUST be filled sequentially starting with slot 0 (zero).

l When a Gateway is instructed to Call All, it calls all Endpoints listed until it reaches the first
serial number of 000-0000 (or a blank slot).

l If a serial number is entered after the all zero number or as a Repeater, the Gateway does
not recognize it as a valid number.
l To call an Endpoint through one or more Repeaters, that Endpoint must be called
individually.
l The line containing the Endpoint and Repeaters must be specifically selected in Entry to

Call.
l With Call All selected, the Gateway will not connect with any Endpoints through

Repeaters.
l This is because, when Call All is selected, the Gateway calls every Endpoint in the list

and will connect with the first Endpoint that responds.

l When calling through a Repeater, the Gateway must first call that Repeater and establish a
communication link with it prior to making contact with the Endpoint.

12.4.1. Programming Point-To-Point Extended Call Book to Use Three or

Four Repeaters
In a Point-to-Point configuration, FreeWave radios can use a maximum of four Repeaters.
Procedure
1. Program the Call Book with the Endpoint serial number, followed by the first two
Repeaters.
2. On the next line enter 999-9999 as the radio to call.
3. When prompted for the Repeaters enter the third and fourth Repeaters in the link.
Example
This Tool Suite example table shows a Point-to-Point link where an Endpoint is called through
four Repeaters.
The Gateway is calling:
a. the Endpoint, 884-3872.
b. through Repeater 1, 884-1234.
c. then Repeater 2, 884-0234.
d. then Repeater 3, 884-9456.
e. lastly Repeater 4, 884-4567.
Entering the serial number 999-9999 in line 1 instructs the Gateway to continue calling through the
Repeaters programmed on that line.

Figure 53: Example: Tool Suite Call Book table

To call an Endpoint radio through one or more Repeaters, that Endpoint must be called
individually.
l With Call All selected, the Gateway will not connect with any Endpoint radios through
Repeaters.
l The Gateway calls every Endpoint in the list and connects with the first Endpoint that
responds.
l When calling through a Repeater, the Gateway must first call that Repeater and establish a
communication link with it prior to making contact with the Endpoint.

12.4.2. Programming Point-to-MultiPoint Call Book

FREEWAVE Recommends: While the Call Book is an option in Point-to-MultiPoint networks,
FreeWave strongly recommends using the Network ID feature in most applications.
If a large MultiPoint network is implemented using the Call Book and a radio needs to be added or
replaced in the network, each radio MUST be physically reprogrammed in the network and the new
serial number entered in the radio's Call Book.
This can be a time consuming process and can cause a delay in getting the network back up and
running.

In a MultiPoint network, the Endpoints and Repeaters are not listed in the Gateway's Call Book.
An Endpoint MUST have the Gateway and any Repeater it is going to use in its Call Book.
These examples show the Call Book of a MultiPoint network comprised of a Gateway, Repeater,
and Endpoint where the Endpoint can communicate either through the Repeater or directly to the
Gateway:
12.4.3. MultiPoint Master Call Book (Unit Serial Number 884-1111)
Entry Endpoint Serial Number Repeater 1 Repeater 2
(0) 000-0000
(1) 000-0000

Note: No serial number entries are necessary in the Gateway’s Call Book.

12.4.4. MultiPoint Repeater Call Book (Unit Serial Number 884-2222)

Entry Endpoint Serial Number Repeater 1 Repeater 2
(0) 884-1111
(1) 000-0000

12.4.5. MultiPoint Slave Call Book (Unit Serial Number 884-3333)

Entry Endpoint Serial Number Repeater 1 Repeater 2
(0) 884-1111
(1) 884-2222
(2) 000-0000

Sometimes there is a need to force an Endpoint to go through a specific MultiPoint Repeater.

In this scenario, the Endpoint's Call Book should contain only the serial number for that
Repeater as the entry on line 0.

12.4.6. Programming Point-to-MultiPoint Extended Call Book

In a MultiPoint network, Endpoint radios can be programmed to roam between Gateway radios
and Repeaters using the MultiPoint Extended Call Book function.
Endpoint radios with Call Book configured similar to this example, communicates with any radio
whose serial number appears in any of the three columns.
Procedure
1. Set the Network ID to 255.
2. In the Call Book, enter 999-9999 as the last entry in the first and second columns.
3. In the Call Book, set Entry to Call to All.

12.6. Serial Setup window

Each serial port is setup independently and configured on its own tab or Configuration Windows
(on page 151). The ports can have different baud rates, parity, protocol, etc., but must match the
device it is connected to. To access either port, a client needs to call the IP address of the radio
plus its assigned port number.
The Serial Setup window is where the port numbers and data settings for each serial port are
assigned using these parameters:
l Serial Port Mode - This setting defines whether the port acts as a TCP terminal server,
TCP client, UDP client, or Multicast.
l Serial Settings - This setting defines data transmission settings (e.g., Baud Rate and
Flow Control).
l Set these parameters to match the device the port is connected to.

13. Release Notes:

FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radios

These sections describe the updates and known limitations in each software version. The most
recent version is listed first.

Important!: Radios running versions 2.26 through 2.29 MUST upgrade to version 2.34.

The latest software versions and the most recent list of known limitations and workarounds are
available at http://support.freewave.com/.

13.1. Version 3.14

Release Date: March 2017
PLUS Software 3.14 is released for FGR2-P and FGR2-PE PLUS Radios to correct a range
decrease of 25-50% below the product specifications that was observed.

13.2. Version 3.13

Release Date: August 2016
Software 3.13 is released for FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radios.
Additions and Changes
In the Security window (on page 163), in the Miscellaneous area, a new Reboot Interval list box
option has been added.
l By default, the Reboot Interval is Disabled.
l If Disabled is selected, the PLUS Radio will operate without automatically rebooting.

l When an interval (e.g., 1 Hour, 1 Day, 30 Days) is selected, the scheduler automatically
reboots the PLUS Radio when the reboot interval expires.

Note: See Specify a Reboot Interval Schedule (on page 105) to use this feature.

Figure 66: Security window - Reboot Interval list box

13.3. Version 3.11

Release Date: June 2016
Additions and Changes
Software 3.11 is released for FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radios to correct the non-locked
Frequency Zones.
l If any Frequency Zones are locked or restricted based on Model Number, v3.11 correctly
displays the Frequency Zones that are locked and not available for setting or clearing.

13.4. Version 3.06

Release Date: May 2015
Additions and Changes
Software 3.06 is released for FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radios to address the so-called 45-
day lock-up issue experienced by several users.
l This issue appears as a lock-up of the radio, requiring a reboot, on a periodic basis.
l This lock-up is caused by a memory register that overfills and corrupts nearby data.

l Units that are installed in different applications and with different equipment than the units
that sparked this investigation, may experience the same issue, but with different time
scales.

Note: This version becomes the default version of firmware and is backward compatible with all
supported previous versions.

13.5. Version 3.01

Release Date: January 2015
PLUS Software 3.01 is released for the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radios to correct a
number of software issues.
Additions and Changes
l Radios running version 3.01 are now compatible with Discovery Server.
l IP Multicast traffic originating from the Endpoint side of the network is now fully propagated
over-the-air to the Gateway side of the network.
l When using UDP functions (e.g., Multicast or Discovery Server), a valid Default Gateway
MUST be set.
l When using UDP Unicast, a behavior change has been introduced.
l Prior to v3.01, the Gateway would send to the last device that sent it data regardless of

what IP address was defined in the Serial Setup window, UDP IP text box.
l Now, in v3.01, the Gateway will only send to the device IP address listed in the UDP IP

text box.

Known Limitations and Workarounds

l With VLANs and some other specific configurations, TCP/IP traffic can periodically time out
over links unless the MTU parameter is adjusted to be lower than the 1500 byte default
value.
l The networks MUST BE adjusted accordingly.

FREEWAVE Recommends: Start with 1400 bytes in this scenario.

l If the network includes Repeaters, the Repeaters parameter in the Radio Setup settings
must be set to Enabled for ALL radios, not just the Gateway.
l Setting only the Gateway can result in packet loss.

Warning! Set the Repeaters parameter to Enabled on all radios in the network
BEFORE upgrading.
Doing so after the upgrade is complete can still result in packet loss.

l Multicast port CANNOT be changed using the Configuration Windows.

l Use the serial interface to change this parameter.

13.5.1. Warning: Extreme Set-Up Parameters

Important!: As of release Version 3.06 (on page 184), this parameter setup has been addressed.
The 30 day reboot recommendation is no longer in effect.

If these Setup parameters are used, a reboot of the network is recommended every 30 days:

If the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U device is configured as an Alarm Client and
l it is sending the alarms to another device acting as a Terminal Server and
l if the Maintain Link is enabled (cleared check box in v2.22 and v2.34) then

l the Client will open multiple sockets on the Terminal Server.

l ALL of the multiple sockets will remain open.

Warning! The Terminal Server in v3.01 is limited to five (5) sockets.

These sockets will quickly become full.
Additional alarms from the Alarm Client to the Terminal Server will NOT be heard.
Return messages from the Terminal Server to the Alarm Client will NOT be heard.

13.5.3. Specific Upgrade Notes for the Serial Setup window

Upgrading from v2.22 to v3.01
l TCP Server Settings (i.e., the Enabled check box is checked) is enabled on both ports
regardless of what setting was enabled in the v2.22 Mode list box.
l The Mode list box does not exist in v3.01.

FREEWAVE Recommends: Disable (clear the TCP Servers Enable check box) if a
different Mode was used in v2.22.

l In v2.22, the Local IP Port setting in the UDP Settings area is now in the UDP Settings
area as the Port text box in v3.01.
l The v2.22 Power Up Dest. IP & Port text boxes and their values are NOT transferred to
v3.01.

Note: Settings established in previous versions are lost when upgrading to v3.01.

Important!: If using the UPD Unicast mode, the user must re-program the UDP settings in ALL
appropriate FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U devices.

Upgrading from v2.34 to v3.01

l If a port is configured for Multicast only in v2.34 then, after upgrade to v3.01, it is set to
UDP mode AND Multicast mode (i.e., their respective Enable check box is checked).

FREEWAVE Recommends: Disable (clear the Enable check box) for the mode NOT in the
network.

l In v2.34, the Local UDP Port setting in the UDP/MULTICAST Settings area is now in the
UDP Settings area as the Port text box in v3.01.
l The Power-Up / mcast IP & Port text boxes and their values in v2.34 are NOT
transferred to v3.01.

Note: Settings established in previous versions are lost when upgrading to v3.01.

l In v2.34, the UDP and Multicast settings were combined.

l In v3.01, the Multicast IP and Port settings are in their own area of the Serial Setup

window.
l When upgrading from v2.34, the user's previous Multicast settings are replaced with

the FreeWave defaults.

13.6. Version 2.34

Release Date: June 2014
Software 2.34 is released for the FGR2-P, -PE, & -PE-U PLUS Radios radios to correct a
number of software issues.

Important!: The critical bug fix is the RF Link Lock issue seen in some networks.

Additions and Changes

These are the issues corrected in PLUS Software 2.34:

l Ethernet Gateway radios (FGR2-P and FGR2-PE radios) locking up after 30 to 75 days.
l Global software upgrade causes radio to be non-functional.
l Default settings leave radio in a transmitting mode.

Known Limitations and Workarounds

l Radios running this current version of firmware are NOT compatible with Discovery Server.
l Use the serial setup to obtain IP addresses.

Warning! Set the Repeaters parameter to Enabled on all radios in the network
BEFORE upgrading.
Doing so after the upgrade is complete can still result in packet loss.

l IP Multicast traffic originating from the Endpoint side of the network IS NOT fully and
properly propagated over-the-air to the Gateway side of the network.
l Multicast traffic from the Gateway side of the network IS properly propagated over-the-

air to the Endpoint side of the network.

l Therefore, the Multicast functionality for the terminal server is broken for any

Endpoint/Repeater where responses are sent to the serial link on the Gateway radio's
terminal server.
l With VLANs and some other specific configurations, TCP/IP traffic can periodically time out
over links unless the MTU parameter is adjusted to be lower than the 1500 byte default
value.

FREEWAVE Recommends: Start with 1400 bytes in this scenario.

l Modem Stats require a radio link to be accurate.

Note: Local Diagnostics are NOT supported.

l IP addresses throughout the configuration Web pages allow entries higher than 255.
l Free form text fields CANNOT use any of these characters: % & + = < >
l Time stamps included in SYSLOG messages appear in Unix time format.
l With NTP Client enabled, the time shown in the configuration Web page status is in Unix

time format and reported as GMT.

l Changing the MAC address filter using the global change functionality at the Gateway does
not change the MAC address filter list in the Endpoints.
l Changing the Transmit Rate parameter using the terminal interface accessed through the
serial port does not change the setting's value.

l Serial Port 2 does not maintain the correct setting for the Runtime Serial Setup
parameter.

13.7. Version 2.22

Release Date: April 2011
Additions and Changes
l Added:
l NTP options to the web server and the config server.

l Logging to local file and to remote syslog server.

l Ability to view log in separate window to the Security page.

l Logging reboot messages.

l Users page for user-level and password management.

l Global Save/Apply functionality to IP, Serial, Radio, Security, SNMP, and Users

pages.
l Global Enable/Disable button to Tools page.

l One second timeout to slaves during global upgrade to minimize rewind requests for

packets that were already in the masters Tx buffer.

l Changed the Program Radio function to program all zones to 0xFFFF if in mode 3 or 7.
l Moved the Password Manager to the Users page.

Additional Notes
FreeWave only supports these versions:
l SSLv3 128 bits AES 128-SHA l TLSv1 128 bits AES128-SHA
l SSLv3 128 bits RC4-MD5 l TLSv1 128 bits RC4-MD5
l SSLv3 128 bits RC4-SHA l TLSv1 128 bits RC4-SHA
l SSLv3 168 bits DES-CBC3-SHA l TLSv1 168 bits DES-CBC3-SHA
l SSLv3 256 bits AES 256-SHA l TLSv1 256 bits AES 256-SHA

The Users page is used to define who can edit the settings on the radio. Setting the user's
permissions on this page determines whether they can save settings through Tool Suite and
the Web pages.

Known Limitations and Workarounds

l Modem Stats require a radio link to be accurate.
l Master Tx Beacon is not supported on a setting higher than 1 in MultiPoint networks with
Repeaters.
