2 1.2 Locate the Router/Bridge and Inline Power Injector Ports  Special Ethernet port 1 for connecting the MIL-C-5015 style Ethernet Cable  Special serial port 2 for connecting the MIL-C-5015 style RS-232 console port cable  Reverse Polarity-N Male connector 3 for connecting the antenna or RF cable.  Grounding port 4.  Power & Data output port 5 for connecting the other of the MIL-C-5015 style Ethernet Cable  Data input port 6 for connecting the Ethernet Cable to a Hub Switch Router or a PC. 3 1.3 Preparing Installation Before installing your Outdoor Wireless LAN system for your outdoor application in a hard-to-reach location, we recommend that you configure and test all the devices first. For configuring the Outdoor Router/Bridge, you need follow the quick steps below to power up your Router/Bridge: Step 1: With the unit powered off, attach one end of the RF cable to the antenna connector and then connect the antenna to the other end of the RF cable as shown in following: Step 2 Plug the female end of the power cord into the Inline Power Injector, and then plug the male end of the power cord into a power outlet or power strip. The Power LED on the front of the Inline Power Injector will light up. Step 3 Run the cross over Ethernet cable (included in your package) from Data Input Port (on the front of the Inline Power Injector) to the Ethernet Port on a PC. NOTE: This connection is required for setting up initial configuration information. After configuration is completed, this cable will be removed,
4 and then you should run an Ethernet cable from Data Input Port (on the front of the Inline Power Injector) to the LAN connection (such as to a hub, bridge or directly into a patch panel). Step 4 Plug the MIL-C-5015 style Ethernet connector into the Special Ethernet port on the back of the Router/Bridge. Step 5 Plug the RJ-45 Ethernet connector (the other end of the Special Ethernet cable) into the Power & Data Output Port on the front of the Inline Power Injector. Step 6 Attach the MIL-C-5015 style (RS-232) null modem cable to the Serial Port Adapter. Connect the other cable end (DB9 female) to a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. When the Router/Bridge receives power over the Ethernet cable, the Router/Bridge will start its boot sequence and the Active LED on the front of the Inline Power Injector will light up. You can configure the Router/Bridge using the HTML browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator from a remote host or PC. NOTE: The outdoor Router/Bridge antenna cabling systems be identified by Reverse Polarity-N connectors (pictured in following) 5 1.4 Outdoor Installation Outdoor Router/Bridge device can be mounted on the side of a building or mounted to an antenna mast as shown in following: A wall (side) mount allows for mounting an antenna (mast) on the side of a building or on the side of an elevator penthouse. This will provide a convenient mounting location when the roof overhang is not excessive and/or the location is high enough to provide a clear line of sight. In most situations mounting an antenna directly to the wall will not allow you to properly align the antenna with the corresponding antenna at the opposite end of your wireless link. As poor alignment will typically result in poor performance, we advise you to always mount the Outdoor Router/Bridge and antenna to a mast.
6 1.4.1 Antenna Mast Requirements To accommodate the outdoor antennas, the antenna mast must satisfy the following requirements: a. The construction of the mast must be of a sturdy, weatherproof and no corrosive material like for example galvanized or stainless steel construction pipe. b. Typical diameter of the mast should be between 35 mm (1.4 in.) and 41 mm (1.625 in.). Subject to the type of antenna that you intend to install other diameters may be possible as well. c. The height of the antenna mast must be sufficient to allow the antenna to be installed at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) above the peak of roof. If the roof is metal, then the height of the antenna should be a minimum of 3 m (10 ft) above the roof. d. The mast or wall-bracket must be free from any substance that may prevent a good electrical connection with the antenna; for example, paint. 1.4.2 Grounding A safety grounding system is necessary to protect your outdoor installation from lightning strikes and the build-up of static electricity. So direct grounding of the antenna mast, Outdoor Router/Bridge and Surge Arrester is very important. The Outdoor Router/Bridge has built in Surge Arrester. So Mounting the Outdoor Router/Bridge on the antenna mast, you have to connect the Outdoor Router/Bridge to the same grounding system with the AC wall outlet. The grounding system must comply with the National Electrical Code and safety standards that apply in your country. Always check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether your outdoor installation is properly grounded. 7 1.4.3 Antenna Alignment For optimal performance of your wireless link, make sure that the antennas are properly aligned (facing one another “eye-to-eye”). To align the antennas: _ Use a pair of binoculars and/or a map of the area and compass to point the antennas to one another. _ Use the Utility- “Wireless Link Info” in the Web Configure as described in the "Utility " section to analyze the radio link quality. The “Wireless Link Info” will enable you to display the levels of signal strength and link quality. Looking at the Wireless Link Info screen, you can interactively optimize antenna alignment if required, by making small modifications in the antenna orientation. _ Alternatively, consult a professional Antenna Installation Service to optimize the antenna alignment. Omni-directional antennas are characterized by a wide radiation pattern. Therefore alignment of this type of antennas is less critical than for directional antennas.
8 Chapter 2. Network Topologies This section describes several main types of installations commonly implemented using the Outdoor Wireless Router/Bridge System (RB). This is by no means intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible configurations, but rather shows examples of some of the more common implementations. The RB can be configured into two roles: Central Router/Bridge (CRB) and Remote Extension Router/Bridge (RRB) to accomplish the broadband wireless point-to-point, point-to-multipoint systems (as shown in following figuration). Both the Central RB and the Remote RB can performed in router or bridge modes. In a Point-to-Multipoint topology, all communication between network systems is done through a centralized agent. In the Outdoor Wireless Router/Bridge product, the centralized agent is Central Router or Central Bridge and the individual network notes may be Remote Router or Remote Bridge. To show some possibilities of Point-to-Multipoint topologies, the following examples are provided: 1. Remote Wireless Bridge-to-Central Wireless Bridge 2.

Operation is subject to the following conditions: This device may not cause harmful interference. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna of transmitter. Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulation. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to nearby TV’s, VCR’s, radio, computers, or other electronic devices. To minimize or prevent such interference, this equipment should not be placed or operated near these devices. If interference is experienced, moving the equipment away from them will often reduce or eliminate the interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 55 Professional Installation Per the recommendation of the FCC, the installation of high gain directional antenna to the system, which are intended to operated solely as a point-to-point system and whose total power exceeds +30dBm EIRP, require professional installation. It is the responsibility of the installer and the end user that the high power systems are operated strictly as a point-to-point system. Systems operating as a point-to-multipoint system or use non directional antennas cannot exceed +30dBm EIRP power requirement under any circumstances and do not require professional installation. Information to userThe user manual or instruction manual for an intentional orunintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved bythe party responsible for compliance could void the user's authurity to operatethe equipment.
