6.10 Path Prediction Tools
Path Prediction Tools are useful for non-line-of-site, near-line-of-site, and line-of-site links. Fastback does not
recommend one path prediction tool over another; however, Fastback is committed to working with vendors
of path prediction products to maximize the accuracy of predicted paths for IBR. Fastback has worked with
the following vendors to maximize accuracy:

Features & Functionality
7.1 AnyLOS Technology
Fastback’s proprietary AnyLOS technology enables operators to use IBR in difficult RF environments without
worrying about RF tuning. IBR will automatically adjust the following parameters to maximize throughput:
worrying about RF tuning. IBR will automatically adjust the following parameters to maximize throughput:
Channel
bandwidth
- either 10, 19, or 38MHz.
Center frequency.
Antenna combination - IBR has eight (8) internal antennas and will automatically select the best four
for the link being established.
for the link being established.
Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) – MCS can be any value from 1–10.
Transmitter output power - IBR will adjust the transmitter output power automatically to avoid
exceeding emissions requirements. IBR takes output power into account when estimating the
bandwidth available on any given frequency. The frequency vs. output power relationship is shown in
the CLI Guide.

The operator cannot manually configure these radio parameters, but can view the settings using CLI, SNMP,
or the GUI as follows:
or the GUI as follows:
CLI command: IBR102 # show interfaces radio 0 status
GUI: Monitor, Radio, Status
SNMP: FBN-RADIO-MIB
7.2 Communication Protocols
IBR can be managed by an operator using:
CLI: SSH, Telnet, Serial Console
SNMP
7.3 Software Management
Software upgrades to IBR can be made by an operator.
Boot loader recovery can be accomplished by an operator via CLI.
IBR has the ability to recover on its own from a failed software upgrade.
Add-on licenses to increase the available throughput of IBR can be downloaded using the GUI. For
additional information, see the CLI Guide.
