1.1 Overview
The AP is the core component of the Ingenu Total Reach Network (TRN) and TRN base station
solutions. It provides the functionality of an RF transceiver, a data processor, and a data router.
The RF transceiver operates in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band on one of thirty eight 1 MHz
channels. The AP utilizes Time Division Duplexing and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum with
Ingenu’s’ proprietary Random Phase Multiple Access (RPMA) modulation technique. The
maximum transmit power of the AP’s transceiver (at the antenna connector) is +30 dBm (1
Watt). GPS is used for timing and synchronization.
All endpoint devices designed with On-Ramp Total Reach Network technology communicate
directly with TRN base stations installed on existing communication towers, rooftops,
streetlights, substations, and other elevated sites to collect data or control the endpoint
devices. Base station networks are designed and deployed to meet coverage, capacity, and
redundancy objectives.

Access Point Product Specification Introduction
2 010-0021-00 Rev. G
Ingenu APs are weatherproof with an IP 66 rating and can be installed indoors or outdoors.
Ingenu offers various base station configurations to support a wide variety of installations.
Section 5.4 defines these pre-configured base station packages. This document focuses on the
installation, configuration, and maintenance of the Access Point. For base station-specific
information, see the installation manuals for each of the base stations.
An AP installation requires:
A 10/100 IP-over-Ethernet connection with 128 Kbps minimum throughput for backhaul to
the Ingenu gateway
A Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) injector that combines power and data over the same
Ethernet cable. The AP requires a passive PoE injector and cannot be powered directly from
most switches
NOTE: The AP is not 802.3AF or 802.3AT compliant.
An AC or DC power source capable of supplying 48 VDC at a minimum of 25 Watts to the
PoE injector. For very long PoE cables, a 56 VDC power supply is recommended.

2 Network Planning and Configuration
Considerations
Prior to the installation of an AP at a new location, a number of network design and
configuration decisions must be addressed. This chapter provides an overview of these
decisions which should be reflected in the AP Installation Configuration Worksheet provided in
Appendix B. Detailed network planning and configuration is outside the scope of this
document.
2.1 Network Planning
Network planning is critical to a successful AP installation and the reliable operation of an On-
Ramp Total Reach Network. The following issues must be addressed in the network planning
and design process.
Determine network coverage requirements
Establish network reliability requirements
Select and approve site and antenna locations
Predict TRN coverage with a propagation model
Select the appropriate AP antennas
Select the AP antenna cable type, determined by cable length, to minimize loss
Assign AP channel (frequency) and Reuse Code
Determine antenna cable attenuation
Determine AP transmit power setting
The maximum permissible Effective Radiated Power, ERP, is determined by the regulations
for the country where the AP will be installed (e.g., ETSI, FCC). The actual ERP is
determined by the AP’s transmit power output, antenna gain and antenna cable loss.
NOTE: The maximum ERP authorized by the FCC in the United States is +36 dBi.
2.2 Network Configuration
The following AP network configuration settings must be determined by your network planning
and configuration team and provided for AP configuration. These settings can be set via the AP
web interface (shown in chapter 7) or in EMS (refer to the EMS Operator Guide, 010-0045-00),
except as noted below:
Site Name NOTE: The site name is for reference only and is not set in the AP or in EMS.

2.3 Backhaul
Backhaul is the interconnection of the APs in a network to the back office systems including the
On-Ramp gateway and the element management system. The backhaul method to be used
must be determined for each AP prior to installation. Common backhaul methods include the
following:
Cellular/PCS 3G data modems
Existing Ethernet infrastructure
DSL links
Point-to-Point radio links
Microwave links
NOTE: A 10/100 Mb IP-over-Ethernet connection with 128 Kbps minimum throughput
is required.

3 Installation Prerequisites and Considerations
Before starting the actual physical installation of an AP, it is very important to complete the
prerequisite tasks outlined in this chapter as well as take into account the installation
considerations indicated. Information gathering templates are provided in the appendices of this
document.
3.1 Installation Prerequisites
3.1.1 Site Survey
A site survey should be conducted prior to installation for all AP sites. The site survey provides
detailed, site-specific, information required to plan an AP installation and should be documented. See
Appendix A for a Site Survey Worksheet template. A copy of this worksheet should be provided to the
installer.
A site survey provides:
Site name

3.2 Installation Considerations
When planning a new AP installation, the following items must be considered.
3.2.1 AP Antenna
The AP antenna should be mounted at a location that minimizes physical obstructions between the
antenna and the endpoints with which it will be communicating. Rooftop installations create the
largest concern in this area. Antenna placement and height are very important to maximize
network performance. The AP antenna should be securely mounted in a vertical position. The AP
antenna cable is connected to a type-N female connector on the AP.
There are a variety of antenna options available to address the regulatory requirements of different
countries. See the Access Point Product Specification (014-0030-00) for additional details.
3.2.2 AP Antenna Cable
A 50 ohm low loss coaxial cable is used to connect the antenna to the AP. The type of cable is
selected based on the length of the cable run and network design requirements. For short runs, a ½
inch cable such as Andrew LDF4-50A is recommended. For longer runs, a
inch cable or 1⅝ inch
cable may be used to reduce the cable attenuation.
The antenna cable should always be attached to the tower or other structure with clamps at the
spacing recommended by the manufacturer. It is also very important to maintain the minimum
bending radius recommended by the manufacturer to avoid kinking the cable during installation.
When using an antenna cable larger than ½ inch, ½ inch LDF4-50A jumpers with type-N male
connectors, typically 3 feet to 6 feet long, should be installed between the antenna cable and both
the antenna and the AP to minimize the chance of damage to their connectors. The AP and the AP
antenna use type “N” female connectors.
NOTE 1: The total RF cable loss from AP Antenna connector to the antenna must be calculated or
measured with antenna system test equipment during installation as detailed in section
6.3 Antenna System Sweep Testing. This value in dB is used when configuring the AP in
the EMS.

3.2.3 GPS Antenna
The GPS antenna provides timing signals to the AP. It should be mounted so that it has a clear view
of the sky. A mounting location should be chosen that minimizes shadowing from trees or
structures.
NOTE: The GPS antenna should be mounted at least one meter away from the AP antenna to
minimize the chance of interference.
In normal operation, the AP requires GPS synchronization for precision timing of all nodes on the
network. To provide a reliable GPS signal, the AP has a built-in GPS receiver which requires an
externally connected GPS antenna. The GPS antenna cable is connected to a type-N female
connector on the AP.
Many different GPS antennas are available but Ingenu recommends using the PCTEL GPS antenna
model GPSL1-TMG-SPI-40NCB for the following reasons:
1. The PCTEL GPS antenna has a low noise, high gain amplifier which is well-suited to address
cable attenuation when the GPS antenna mounting location requires a long length of cable. Up
to a 20 dB cable loss is acceptable when using this high gain antenna.
2. The PCTEL GPS antenna provides integrated, onboard, lightning protection that minimizes the
need for a downstream, inline surge suppressor. The GPS antenna must be properly grounded.
See figure 4. If using an external surge suppressor, it must be a “DC pass-through” type.

![](/img.php?id=2890430&img=bg11.png)
Access Point Product Specification Installation Prerequisites and Considerations
9 010-0021-00 Rev. G
The PCTEL GPSL1-TMG-SPI-40NCB GPS antenna has a type-N female connector.
NOTE: Most GPS antennas have a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) that requires power from the AP.
The AP supplies 3.3 V at up to 50 ma. If this current is exceeded, the AP detects the excess
current and shuts down its GPS power supply. When this occurs, the AP sends a GPS
antenna fault message back to the EMS. The AP must be power cycled to restore power to
the GPS antenna.
3.2.4 Antenna Cable Lightning Suppression and Grounding
A coaxial surge suppressor must be installed at the location shown in the table below and must be
connected with a #10 gauge or larger stranded wire to an appropriate ground for lightning
protection. In most tower installations the outer shield of the AP antenna cable must be grounded
with one or more grounding kits provided by the antenna cable manufacturer. The grounding kits
must be connected to appropriate building or tower grounds using a #2 gauge wire. The mounting
pipe for the antenna should be grounded to the same point if it is not attached to a grounded
structure.

3.2.5 AP DC Power Requirement
The AP is powered over the Ethernet port using a PoE injector. The acceptable power source
voltage range is 38 – 72 VDC. At the nominal input voltage of 48 VDC the typical input current is 0.3
Amps. The maximum input power dissipation is 17 Watts. When connecting to the distribution
panel of a 48 VDC power system, it should be fused with a minimum of a ½ Amp slow-blow fuse.
The maximum fuse or circuit breaker size should be 2 Amps.
3.2.6 PoE Injector
A standard PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector is used to apply power to the AP. An example of an
approved device is the L-com HyperLink BT-CAT5-P1 Single-Port CAT-5 Midspan/Injector (also
known as PoE Passive Splitter). When connected to an outdoor AP the PoE injector must be
properly grounded for lightning and surge protection.
The following figure illustrates a typical setup utilizing the PoE injector.

3.2.7 Ethernet Cable
The Ethernet cable connection to the AP provides both data and DC power. The maximum Ethernet
cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). A quality Cat5e or Cat6 cable is required. For most
applications, an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable with solid conductors is recommended.
NOTE: Shielded Ethernet cable is not recommended.

NOTE: It is very important that connectors be specified for the cable being used. As an example, if
using Cat5e solid conductor cable, the connectors should be specified for Cat5e solid
conductor cable. Some connectors are specified for both solid and stranded conductors.
Always use an RJ45 crimping tool that is specified for use with the connectors being used.
During the installation of the Ethernet cable, a pulling force of 25 pounds should not be exceeded.
The bending radius of the cable should never be less than four times its diameter. Ethernet cable
should not be deformed by tightly cinched cable ties.
Shielded Ethernet cable may be required in cases where the cable is installed in close proximity to
equipment or conductors generating strong electromagnetic fields. In this case follow Shielded
Twisted Pair (STP) installation guidelines.
3.2.8 Solar Power
Solar Power is recommended for sites where commercial power is not available or is not cost
effective to install. The required size for the solar panel and battery system is strongly influenced by
the geographic area in which it will be used. Ingenu offers a solar powered base station solution
that may be appropriate for your application. Contact Ingenu at support@ingenu.com for more
information.
3.2.9 Outdoor Installation Hardware
All outdoor installation hardware such as mounting brackets, pipe clamps, u-bolts, bolts, nuts and
washers should either be galvanized or stainless steel. This reduces deterioration due to corrosion,
oxidation, and rust.
NOTE: All exposed antenna system connectors must be sealed against moisture using industry
standard techniques.

6 Hardware Installation Verification
6.1 Power Verification
Prior to applying power to the AP, confirm with a Digital Voltmeter (DVM) that the DC voltage
is correct at the PoE injector. The DC voltage should be between 48 VDC and 54 VDC.
NOTE: The AP its self is not polarity sensitive, however, it is recommended that the barrel of
the PoE power plug be at ground potential if the power system is grounded.
6.2 AP Antenna and GPS Cable DVM Test
Prior to weather sealing the AP antenna and GPS antenna connectors, disconnect both cables
at both ends and verify continuity between center pins and verify that neither cable is shorted.
6.3 Antenna System Sweep Testing
The combined TRN antenna system (including the antenna, cables, and lightning suppressor)
should be “sweep tested” for Return Loss and Attenuation using an antenna analyzer such as an
Anritsu Site Master™. The antenna system should be swept across the frequencies of interest,
2.400 GHz – 2.480 GHz. The Return Loss should be greater than 17 dB across the frequency
range and the total attenuation should be as low as possible, generally less than 5 dB. The
antenna system attenuation (loss) should be noted for use when configuring the AP within the
EMS system.
If the Return Loss is not acceptable, the antenna should be disconnected and the antenna line
should be terminated with a 50 ohm load. The Return Loss test should be repeated. If the
antenna line Return Loss is now greater than 20 dB and is flat across the frequency range, the
antenna should be replaced. If the Return Loss is not acceptable, the antenna cable system
should be tested using the Distance to Fault (DTF) capability in the antenna analyzer to locate
the problem.
Notes:
Measurement is required to be >
20 dB for coaxial cable and
connectors.
Overall return loss with antenna
should be > 17 dB.

7.6.2 Network Submenu
The Network Configuration screen (shown below) allows you to change the AP IP address,
netmask, and default router as well as other network configuration parameters such as
Ethernet speed and MTU, duplex mode, and DNS and NTP servers.
The following table defines the fields on this screen.
Table 11. Fields on the Network Configuration Screen
Field
Description
IPv4 Settings
Currently the AP only supports two IP settings for TCP/IP Versions:
Automatic (DHCP): This setting is used to request a dynamic IP address from a
local DHCP server.
Manual (Static IP): This setting is used for configuring a fixed IP address.
Wired
Interfaces
The AP uses IP aliasing to prevent it from being inaccessible when changing IP
address. The AP can be accessed using an old IP address if incorrect IP address
settings are entered accidentally.
Primary (eth0): This interface is always enabled.
Secondary (eth0:0): This interface is enabled whenever primary interface
settings are modified.
NOTES:
If the primary interface settings are modified, the current values roll over to
secondary and the secondary interface is enabled on reboot.
If the AP is rebooted with incorrect primary interface settings, it can still be
accessed using the old settings via the secondary interface.
If the primary interface settings are correct, then the secondary interface may be
disabled to re-use its IP settings elsewhere to prevent IP address collisions.

Description
IP Address
IP address of the AP (e.g., default is 192.168.1.1)
Netmask
The default is 255.255.255.0.
Default Router
The default is 192.168.1.254.
Ethernet
Speed
The speed at which data travels over the Ethernet connection. Setting options are:
Auto, 10 Mbit, and 100 Mbit. The default setting is “Auto” which monitors the
connection and displays the current speed.
Duplex Mode
Setting options are: Auto, Half-Duplex, and Full-Duplex. The default setting is “Auto”
which displays the current duplex mode.
Ethernet MTU
The largest frame size that can be transmitted over the network. The default setting
is 1500 bytes. Messages longer than the Ethernet MTU indicated in this field must be
divided into smaller frames.
DNS Servers
The IP address of the DNS server can be set in this text field. Multiple DNS servers
can be configured for an AP by separating the IP addresses of each DNS server with a
comma when entering them into the text field. The following DNS server addresses
are the defaults:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
NTP Servers
The AP should be configured with valid NTP servers for correct time synchronization.
If the AP is not configured, it may have problems connecting to the Total Reach
Gateway using SSL. The following NTP server addresses are the defaults:
nist1-nj.ustiming.org
nist1-atl.ustiming.org
nist1-la.ustiming.org
nist1-sj.ustiming.org
nist1-lv.ustiming.org
time.nist.gov
As with DNS server configuration, multiple NTP server IP addresses can be entered
into this text field separated with commas.
Procedure for Changing IP Address Settings
The AP uses IP aliasing to prevent it from being inaccessible when changing the IP address. This
feature allows the AP to be accessible in the event that an incorrect IP address is inadvertently
entered. In this case, the old IP address would be used.
19. Change the IP address settings on Primary. The old Primary settings roll over to Secondary.
20. Click on the Save button and you are prompted to reboot the AP. An AP “reboot” is
required in most cases.
21. After the AP is rebooted, verify that the primary address settings are good.
22. If the primary settings are good, optionally disable Secondary to avoid any IP address
collisions.
23. If the primary settings are incorrect:

8 AP Communication Troubleshooting
Before you leave the installation site, contact your network operations center (NOC) to verify
that the AP is online and successfully communicating. If remote communication with the AP is
not possible, perform the following steps:
24. Manually configure the following on a laptop:
The IP address of the Ethernet port
Netmask setting
The Default Router setting
25. Unplug the backhaul connector from the data port of the PoE and connect the laptop to
that port.
26. Verify that you can locally log in to the AP as described in section 7.2.
If you can successfully log in, further testing of the backhaul and its configuration is needed.
If you cannot log in, check the IP setting of your laptop.
If no problems are found, refer to the Chapter 9: Troubleshooting Guide.
The following figure illustrates a method for detailed on-site debugging of an AP installation.
