B. At the subscriber’s site:
i. Identify the location for the Indoor Unit (bridge/router).
ii. Identify an appropriate location for mounting the Outdoor Unit. In most
cases, the unit should be pointed at the base station with the least possible
obstruction
iii. Determine the cable path between the Indoor Unit and the Outdoor Unit.
Maximum cable length is 165 feet (50 m).
Step 2. Install the Outdoor Unit (Radio/Antenna)
A. If a mounting pole or other support is to be employed, install it in the chosen loca-
tion, following standard procedures and local building codes.
The Outdoor Unit’s mounting bracket accommodates diameters of 1.5 inches, 2
inches, or 5 cm.
B. Mount the Outdoor Unit to the support or to the building.
Step 3. Install the Indoor Unit (Bridge/Router)
A. For convenience, the Indoor Unit should be temporarily placed close to the Out-
door Unit to facilitate the antenna alignment process. When the installation of the-
Outdoor Unit is complete, move the Indoor Unit to its permanent location.
WARNING: For proper cooling, the Indoor Unit must be installed in the
upright position, with adequate air flow around and through it.
Make sure the Indoor Unit is located near an electrical power outlet or power
extension cord will be needed.
B. Assuming that the Indoor Unit is located at a temporary location, run spare radio
signal and control cables between the Outdoor and Indoor Units.
-Radio signal cable (quad shield coaxial, male F connectors) — Radio RF
connectors on the Outdoor and Indoor Units.
-Radio control cable (shielded outdoor Cat 5, male RJ45 connectors) —
Radio Control connectors on the Outdoor and Indoor Units.

OVERVIEW
As part of Aperto Networks' PacketWave Broadband Multiservice Wireless Access
System, the PacketWave 100 Series Subscriber Equipment delivers high-speed,
always-on Internet access to small businesses, small offices/home offices (SOHO),
and residences.
SUBSCRIBER EQUIPMENT
PacketWave 100 Series subscriber equipment consists of an Outdoor Unit (radio/
antenna), and an Indoor Unit (bridge/router), as shown in Figure 2-1.

(Bridge/Router)
CHAPTER 2. OVERVIEW
2–2070-20000330-01 Rev A
Outdoor Unit
The outdoor portion of the subscriber equipment consists of a single unit containing
the radio and antenna. Different models support various frequency bands:
• 2.5 GHz MMDS
• 3.5 GHz FWA
• 5.3 GHz
• 5.8 GHz U-NII
The radio/antenna unit installed at the subscriber site must match the frequency band
employed at the base station.
Figure 2-2 Subscriber Outdoor Units
As shown in Figure 2-2, sizes of the antennas vary with the frequency band, from
approximately 9 inches square to approximately 13 inches square. Outdoor units
mount easily on a home or office roof, under the eave, or even in a properly-situated
window.
The subscriber antennas are directional, with a beam width of 17° to 20° horizontally
and vertically depending on frequency. The width of this beam, combined with the
width of the base station antenna beam, means that only rough pointing of the antenna
is needed for establishing a wireless link, though accurate pointing is important for
maximum signal quality.
Depending on distance, a line-of-sight path may not be required for establishment of
a wireless link between the subscriber and the base station. PacketWave’s OptimaLink
technology minimizes the effects of obstructions in the path between the subscriber’s
antenna and the base station antenna.

Software
Subscriber equipment is provisioned using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager,
as described in the PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit Installation, Configuration,
and Operation manual. On boot-up, the indoor unit downloads its configuration from
the base station’s TFTP server. At the same time, it downloads address and host infor-
mation from the base station’s DHCP server.
The PacketWave 100 Series subscriber equipment includes the following management
software:
•CPE Installation Tool — See addendum on antenna alignment procedure
•Web GUI — Each Indoor Unit includes a graphical user interface (GUI) which
can be accessed via a standard Web browser, either directly or through the Base
Station Unit’s Web GUI. Use of the Web GUI is described in Chapter 7.
•SNMP Agent — Each Indoor Unit includes an SNMP agent which can be
accessed via a standard SNMP manager, either directly or through the Base
Station Unit’s proxy agent. SNMP capability is described in Chapter 7.
•Command Line Interface — A limited command line interface (CLI) to the
Indoor Unit can be accessed via telnet. Use of the CLI is described in Chapter 7.
PacketWave Indoor Units also include servers and other networking functionality:
•DHCP Server — PacketWave 130 Indoor Units include a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for local address management.
•NAT Server — PacketWave 130 Indoor Units include a built-in NAT (Network
Address Translation) server.

SITE PLANNING
There are three basic site-planning issues which must be decided before you begin
installation:
• Location of the Indoor Unit (bridge/router).
• Location and mounting method of the Outdoor Unit (radio/antenna).
• Cable path between the Indoor Unit and the Outdoor Unit.
LOCATION OF THE INDOOR UNIT (BRIDGE/ROUTER)
Typically, the Indoor Unit is located near the subscribers hub or computer. However,
the Ethernet cable to the local computer or hub can be up to 330 ft (100 m) in length.
CAUTION: Make sure that the Indoor Unit is installed in a room with tem-
perature and humidity controls such that the temperature
remains between 32 and 104 °F (0 and 40 °C) and the humidity
remains between 10% and 90% noncondensing.
CHAPTER 3. SITE PLANNING
3–2070-20000330-01
LOCATION OF THE OUTDOOR UNIT (RADIO/ANTENNA)
For optimal wireless channel performance, it is advantageous to locate the Outdoor
Unit (radio/antenna) where it has the least-obstructed path to the base station antenna.
If a line-of-site path is available, locate the Outdoor Unit where the path is least likely
to be affected by such obstructions as blowing branches, seasonally changing foliage,
etc. If a clear line-of-site path is not available, choose a path that minimizes obstruc-
tions.
Fine-tuning of the antenna pointing is performed using the CPE Installation
Tool software, as described in Chapter 6 of this manual.
Other factors to consider when choosing a location for the Outdoor Unit include:
•Distance to the Indoor Unit — Locate the Outdoor Unit so that cables to the
Indoor Unit will be no longer than 165 feet (50 m).
•Cable routing — Consider how cables from the Outdoor Unit cables will enter
the building.
•Accessibility — If possible, choose a location that is relatively accessible,
which will simplify installation and any adjustment or repair that might be nec-
essary in the future.
•Mounting method — The antenna/receiver includes an adjustable bracket for
mounting the unit on a pole that is 1.5 inch, 2 inches, or 5 cm in diameter. For
other mounting options (under an eave or on a chimney, for example), mount-
ing hardware may be adapted as desired. Any alternate mounting method
should allow adequate adjusting of the antenna direction, both horizontally and
vertically.
3–3070-20000330-01
CHAPTER 3. SITE PLANNING
CABLES AND CABLE PATH
For subscriber equipment installation, you will need the cables and connectors indi-
cated in Table3-A.
Choose the path along which the cables will run between the Indoor Unit and the Out-
door Unit, keeping in mind that a radio signal cable length should be less than 165
feet (50 m).
Carefully consider both the outdoor and indoor portions of the cable run. Decide how
the cable run will be secured, how it will enter the building, and whether it will
include wall jacks.
Consider all local building codes and standard construction practices when planning
the cable path.
SUBSCRIBER LAN/COMPUTER
If the Indoor Unit is functioning in NAT mode, addresses on the local subnet (i.e.,
LAN) will not be visible beyond the subscriber’s subnet. The Indoor Unit will auto-
matically become a DHCP server for the subscriber’s subnet. In addition, in default
setting, the Indoor Unit’s DHCP server will use the DNS server address supplied by
the system’s DHCP server to resolve network addresses.
Table3-A Subscriber Site Cable Requirements
Connection — Qty Cable Type Max. Length Connectors

OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION
In most cases, the installation of the Outdoor Unit should be performed before the
installation of the Indoor Unit (see Chapter 5). For convenience during the installation
of the Outdoor Unit, the Indoor Unit should be temporarily placed close to the Out-
door Unit to facilitate antenna alignment. When the installation of the Outdoor Unit
is complete, the Indoor Unit can be moved to its permanent location.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
You will need the following tools and supplies when installing the Outdoor Unit:
• Drill (for cable entry through walls, etc.)
• Phillips screwdriver
• Wrench (7/16 inch)
• Cabling tools
• Spare radio signal and control cables with connectors (each 30 feet or longer)
• Cable ties, staples, or clamps for dressing cables
• Silicone sealant
You will also need the following cables and connectors:
• Coaxial cable (quad shield) and two male F connectors
• Shielded Cat 5 cable (outdoor rated) and two RJ45 male connectors
• Ethernet cable with RJ45 male connectors (straight-through for connection to

Other mounting options, such as under an eave or in a window, can also be employed.
In such cases, appropriate mounting hardware must be obtained.
RUNNING CABLES BETWEEN OUTDOOR AND INDOOR UNITS
As described in Chapter 2, there are two cables that connect the Outdoor Unit to the
Indoor Unit:
• A quad shield coaxial cable for the subscriber signal (which also provides ac
power to the Outdoor Unit).
• A shielded Cat 5 cable for controlling the Outdoor Unit.
The connectors on the Outdoor Unit are located on the back, at the bottom of the radio
enclosure, as shown in Figure 4-2.
4–3070-20000330-01 Rev A
CHAPTER 4. OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION
These cables run from outdoors to indoors, so a suitable cable run and building entry
point must be identified, as discussed in Chapter 3.
For these outdoor-to-indoor connections, the order of the steps in the installation
procedure will vary depending on a number of factors, including site particulars
and installers’ preferred practice. For example, in some cases it may be best to
run unterminated cable and then attach connectors; in others it may be more effi-
cient to attach one or both connectors to the cable before running it, or to use a
pre-assembled cable. Also, cable dressing at various locations may be best per-
formed at different points in the procedure. Therefore, the procedures given for
these connections should be taken as a list of necessary steps and a suggested
order, and modified as appropriate for your particular circumstances.
CAUTION: If the Indoor Unit has already been installed and connected as
described in Chapter 5, be sure that power is disconnected from
the Indoor Unit before attaching the cables from the Outdoor
Unit.
Signal Connection
The radio signal cable should be quad shield 75-ohm coaxial cable with a maximum
length of 165 feet (50 m). The cable terminates with a male F connector at each end.
To install the radio signal cable, perform the following steps
1. Obtain an appropriate length of cable, and run it from the Indoor Unit to the
Outdoor Unit. Include a service/drip loop as appropriate.
2. Install a male F connector at the radio/antenna end of the cable.
3. Attach the cable to the female F connector on the Outdoor Unit, as shown in
Figure 4-2. Tighten the connector until the cable is firmly secured, but do not
overtighten.
4. Dress the outdoor portion of the cable as appropriate.

INDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION
In most cases, the installation of the Outdoor Unit (see Chapter 4) should be per-
formed before the installation of the Indoor Unit. For convenience during the instal-
lation of the Outdoor Unit, the Indoor Unit should be temporarily placed close to the
Outdoor Unit to facilitate antenna alignment. When the installation of the Outdoor
Unit is complete, the Indoor Unit can be moved to its permanent location.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
You will not need any tools to install the Indoor Unit. Cable and power connections
are made to the Indoor Unit’s rear panel, illustrated in Figure 5-1.
The subscriber must have either an Ethernet LAN or a computer with an Ethernet
interface. You will need to supply an Ethernet cable of sufficient length, with an RJ45
plug on each end. Use a straight cable for connection to a hub or router, or a crossover
cable for connection to a PC.

CHAPTER 5. INDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION
Powering Up the Indoor Unit
WARNING: For the PacketWave 100 Series Indoor Unit, use an outlet that con-
tains surge protection and ground fault protection, or use a surge pro-
tection device. This will protect the Indoor Unit and equipment
connected to it from damage resulting fron ac current surges, light-
ning, etc. For complete protection, all connections to the Indoor Unit
(i.e., from radio/antenna and PC/hub) should be connected to a surge
protection device. To ensure the best signal, use surge protectors
designed for the the specific application
To apply power to the Indoor Unit:
1. Plug the power cord into the POWER connector on the Indoor Unit, as illus-
trated in Figure 5-4.
2. Plug the power cord/transformer into a surge-protected ac outlet.
The Indoor Unit does not have an on/off switch; to turn the unit off, disconnect power
at the power outlet.

STARTING UP
Once you have completed the connections described in Chapters 4 and 5, there is one
procedure you need to complete before the local computers can access the Packet-
Wave network and the Internet. That procedure involves using the CPE Installation
Tool software to optimize antenna pointing.
When the Indoor Unit is first installed, its software knows that the antenna-point-
ing procedure has not been performed. It will not allow itself to access the
PacketWave network until the procedure has been performed.
Once the antenna-pointing procedure has been executed, it should not be required
again.
RUNNING THE CPE INSTALLATION (ANTENNA ALIGNMENT) TOOL
See the accompanying addendum for antenna alignment instructions.
CHAPTER 6. STARTING UP
6–2070-20000330-01 Rev A
CONNECTION TO THE PACKETWAVE NETWORK
When the Indoor Unit reboots at the end of the installation/antenna alignment process
described above, it performs an initialization procedure that brings it up as part of the
PacketWave network. During this procedure:
• The Indoor Unit requests an IP address from the system’s DHCP server. (The
DHCP request is passed along by the BSU’s DHCP relay agent.)
• The DHCP server responds with the IP address and other information, includ-
ing the name of the Indoor Unit’s configuration file. The Base Station Unit and
the Indoor Unit both learn the new IP address.
• The Indoor Unit downloads its configuration file (as previously created using
the WaveCenter Configuration Manager) from the TFTP server.
Note: For information about the WaveCenter Configuration Manager
software, see the PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit Installa-
tion, Configuration, and Operation manual.
• The Indoor Unit configures itself according to the received configuration file
and activates for subscriber traffic.
• If the Indoor Unit is functioning in NAT mode, the IP addresses of its attached
computers are obtained from the local DHCP server built into the Indoor Unit.
Setting Up the Local Computer(s)
Whether the subscriber’s computers are connected to a Indoor Unit functioning in
bridge or NAT mode, each host needs an IP address. The simplest solution is to con-
figure each computer to obtain its IP address using DHCP. It is also possible to man-
ually enter the IP addresses. For larger subscriber LANs, a local DHCP server may
be preferable.
