Overview
Accessing the Graphical User Interface

Accessing the graphical user interface (GUI) requires that the radio first be connected to power. The Power over
Ethernet (PoE) connection process describes the steps to do this. Note that the GUI will be available approximately
one minute after applying power.
The GUI can be accessed in two ways to facilitate set-up and management.
1. Through the local Ethernet interface (LAN)
2. Remotely through the 5 GHz wireless link
Via Ethernet interface or in-band over the 5 GHz Wireless link

By default, the device IP address is 192.168.1.20 and can be accessed via the Ethernet port using this IP address in
any standard Web browser. To access the device via a locally connected computer initially (on the same LAN or
directly to the Ethernet port), the computers IP address must be on the same subnet as the above address. Once
you have modified the IP address (static or DHCP) of the device for remote management purposes (in-band over
wireless or over the Ethernet interface), the new specified IP address must be used to access the device. This is
important to do in order to avoid IP address conflicts with other devices on the network. Current IP addresses of
different Mimosa devices on the network can be identified using the Mimosa Device Discovery tool. The default
password for the device is "mimosa". It is highly recommended to change the default password to a unique and
secured password.

Overview
Logging In
After connecting via one of the three access methods, the GUI will prompt you to log-in with a password. The
default password is "mimosa", and should be changed immediately after login to protect your network since it gives
the user read / write priveleges. The password can be changed within the Preferences > General > Set Password
panel of the GUI.
If you are looking for the Mimosa Cloud Log In process, please see Manage User Guide: Logging In.

User Interface Overview

When you first log in, youll notice that there is a title bar with the device name shown in the top-right corner, a
navigation pane on the left, and a large content pane on the right. The default page shown in the content pane is
the Dashboard, which shows a summary of overall performance at a glance, and highlights both radio and link
parameters that affect link health.
On the left navigation pane, there are four prominent sections: Overview, Wireless, Preferences, and Diagnostics.
Each of these sections contains one or more links to pages containing task-related data, controls, and tools used to
administer the radioand you can return the Dashboard at any time by clicking on the Dashboard link in the
Overview section.
The pin in the top corner of the left navigation pane allows you to "pin" open the navigation menu for easier access.
Else, the menu contracts to provide more workspace within the GUI.

Reading the Signal Meter

Connected Link
Received signal strength is shown in large text in the center of the control, and as a green indicator in the top dial.
The blue shaded bar and text immediately below the dial represent target signal strength based on distance and
other information exchanged between radios. The objective is to align the green indicator with the blue bar as a
guideline during antenna aiming.
The resulting half-duplex PHY rates shown at the bottom of the Signal Meter control are correlated with the MCS,
and represent raw data across the link without protocol overhead. The Max Throughput values include TDMA
window size and MAC layer efficiency.
The following settings and values that affect link health are listed for reference:
Center Frequency: True center of the frequency range (no offset).

Channel Width: The width of the channel (20, 40 or 80 MHz).
Tx Power: Total transmit power level (dBm).
Link Length: Distance between local and remote radios (when connected).
Click the Spectrum Analyzer button to access the Spectrum Analyzer, which can also be found on the Channel &
Power page. This will not disturb the link.
When a link is not associated, the signal strength and PHY rates are replaced by an indicator of "Disconnected".
Aiming Mode
Once associated, the Aiming Mode button is shown. Aiming Mode opens a new window that refreshes once per

Reading the Performance Table

IP Throughput and Packet Error Rate are charted over 60 seconds in 5-second intervals. The newest data shows up
on the right and scrolls to the left over time.
The IP Throughput graph plots three lines representing transmit, receive, and aggregate (summed) throughputs at
the datagram (or packet) layer excluding any protocol or encapsulation overhead. The results here may differ from
those measured using speed test tools, due to protocol overhead and encapsulation.
You can toggle between the charts by clicking on the navigation circles at the bottom of the panel. The PER chart
shows the ratio of packets with errors to packets without errors for both transmit and receive PHY. Lower numbers
are better, and higher numbers are an indication of interference.
If enabled, click on the cloud icon button to view historical data within the Manage application.

Channel & Power
Reading the Spectrum Analyzer

The Spectrum Analyzer actively scans the 5 GHz band in the background to report on interference sources that may
impact link performance by frequency, amplitude, and probability of recurrence. The display can be shown for the
local radio, remote radio or a combination of both. Click on the half circle icon in the upper right to toggle the
graph's background color between black and white. Click the Local, Remote, or Combined buttons to view spectrum
individually or simultaneously. Please note that the remote side data may be as much as 5 minutes behind the local
radio.
Channels that are already in use have above average amplitude on the vertical axis, and are shaded in different
colors to represent how often the signals are likely to be on the same frequency at the same amplitude. The legend
to the right of the graph explains the color code for the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF). The color red
suggests the highest probability (closer to 1), while blue represents the lowest probability (closer to 0).
There are three types of markings, or bars, immediately beneath the graphs horizontal axis that indicate frequency
ranges that are restricted, manually excluded, or in active use by this link. Note that traffic from the Active Channel
is excluded from the display so that noise can be detected.

Link
TDMA Configuration Settings

The TDMA Configuration panel contains controls for configuring and fine tuning TDMA performance. One side of the
radio link must be set as an Access point, and the other set as a Station. The Station inherits the other settings from
the AP, so the other fields are grayed out and not accessible when Station is selected.
Wireless Mode - Choose whether the device will act as an Access Point or a Station.
Wireless Protocol - TDMA is a deterministic protocol where each device is assigned a time slot during which it is
allowed to transmit.
Gender - Traffic Split - The radio can be configured to allocate bandwidth symmetrically (50/50) or biased
towards downstream (75/25) in environments where traffic direction is expected to be heavier in one direction
than the other. With an asymmetrical split, the local radio is represented first in the slash notation,
(local/remote). For example, in the (75/25) split, the local radio gets 75, while the remote radio gets 25. If
"Auto" is selected the radio will automatically determine, based upon traffic flow, which ratio will be used. The
radio will continue to evaluate the flow and adjust accordingly.
TDMA Window - Determines the length of the transmit time slot in milliseconds.

REST API
Mimosa REST API

Mimosa provides a REST API that allows developers to access information from our hardware products, such as
configuration and status, for integration with third-party applications and services.
Using the API

There are four calls available through the REST API to access different types of information: Device Status, Device
Information, Ethernet Data, and Link Information. Each REST API request returns an XML response object.
Accessing the API

All requests to the APIs require authentication. Authentication requires completing both of the following actions:
1. Enable HTTPS within the device GUI.
NOTE: For security reasons, REST can not be enabled until HTTPS is activated. This will also activate HTTPS
for access to the GUI.
2. Enable REST Management within the devices embedded GUI, and assign a REST-specific Management
Username and Password.
3. Include the Management Username and Management Password parameters in the Request URL.
