BW64 Installation Guide 4 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary 2 Site Planning 2.1 General Before the start of an installation, a survey should be conducted of the proposed area of the site(s). The survey personnel should be familiar with the details required to install the BridgeWave radio system. 2.2 Equipment Checklist The person performing the survey will need the following equipment:  Binoculars  GPS Navigation Device  Tape Measure  Site Survey Report Form 2.3 Line of Sight Clear line of sight (LOS) is required for proper operation. Planning should include an investigation into future building plans that could block the LOS path, and other long-term incremental obstructions, such as trees. Intermittent obstructions, such as aircraft at a nearby airport, should also be considered. The following table details the minimum clearance needed from obstacles near the path in order to ensure the radios will operate properly. Path Length (meters) Minimum Clearance (meters) 250 0.56 500 0.79 750 0.97 1000 1.12 Table 2-1: Minimum Clearance at Mid Path for Various Path Lengths 2.4 Link Distance Limits Measurement of the link distance is important in estimating the link availability and calculating the expected Receive Signal Level (RSL). This measurement can be performed using the Latitude and Longitude readings from a Global Positioning System (GPS) device, which is placed near the proposed locations of the antennas. The minimum link distance of the BW64 is 65 feet (20 meters).
BW64 Installation Guide 5 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary The maximum distance of the BW64 is dependent on the desired level of availability and the rain rate associated with the region where the product will be installed. BridgeWave provides an Availability Calculator which uses industry standard formulas for determining regional rain rates and estimating availability percentages for a given distance. To obtain the latest version of BridgeWave’s Availability Calculator, contact BridgeWave’s Customer Service or search the eService center knowledgebase at www.bridgewave.com/support/kbrma.htm 2.5 Antenna Location The optimum location for the antennas must be determined. The ideal location should provide for ease of erecting and mounting the antenna, as well as unimpeded LOS to the other site. The following factors should be taken into account:  Type of mounting—wall or pole  Location where the cabling will enter/exit the building  Length of cable runs  Grounding connection points  Potential path obstructions  Accessibility There is a finite incline and decline range of the elevation adjustment when installing the radio link. The mount can only accomplish +/- 30 degrees from the mechanical elevation adjustment. 2.6 Cabling & Power Requirements Inspect the installation site to determine the cable run paths from the radio equipment to the termination point. Locations for roof penetration should be identified. The routing and securing of all cables should conform to all applicable codes and requirements. Cabling and power requirements depend on whether the optional POE64 kit is installed or not, and whether the 10/100BaseT port will be used for out of band management or AdaptPath features. When the POE64 kit is not installed the GigE SFP port allows for selection of various SFP types. Figure 2-1Figure 2-1 and Error!

BW64 Installation Guide 11 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary 2.8 Grounding & Lightning Proper grounding of the outdoor equipment reduces electromagnetic interference, provides lightning protection, and protects against electrical discharge. Using improper techniques in lightning-prone geographic areas may pose a danger to local personnel. The source and connection points for the building-to-earth ground in the vicinity of the antenna location should be determined. It is recommended to integrate the radio ground into the building ground utilizing the pole-mount hardware. For wall or ungrounded pole mounts, connect a grounding wire to the grounding point on the radio. Select the size of the ground wire based on the National Electrical Code. In addition to grounding the equipment, BridgeWave strongly recommends, and local building codes may require, that the DC electrical cable, and or copper Ethernet cables are protected from lightning strikes by the use of surge suppressors. The surge suppressor must be installed at the point where the cables exit/enter the building, however, use of a surge suppressors at the radio unit are optional because surge suppression is built into the unit. For more information on recommended accessory devices and kits, contact BridgeWave Sales. 2.9 Conduit Conduit is recommended for enclosure of the cables as they enter the radio. The conduit provides a water-tight entry to the radio, as well as weather or physical protection required by the cables. The conduit should be flexible, waterproof, and non-metallic. An example of this is LIQUID-TUFF™ UL Liquid tight Flexible Non-Metallic Conduit (Type LFNC-B) or equivalent. Conduit should be 3/4 inches (19 mm) in diameter to match the radio's opening. A drip loop should be created to ensure sufficient length to enable the radio to be moved during servicing and to prevent water from following the conduit down to any junction box or building entrance. A suggested length is 24 inches (60 cm) from the radio to the bottom of the loop. The opposite end of the conduit is inserted into the cable tray if on a tower or attached to a NEMA or junction box.
BW64 Installation Guide 12 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary 3 Installation 3.1 Overview It is recommended that installation personnel read this section in its entirety prior to installing the system. 3.2 Equipment Unpacking Inside the main packaging box there will be a box containing a low-band unit and another box containing the high-band unit. Check the site plans to determine which band will be installed at each location and then locate the desired box (low-band or high-band) accordingly before beginning installation. It is recommended that the shipping cartons and packing materials be retained in the event that it is necessary to return any equipment. Unpacked radios can be identified by the color of their labels found on their front faces or inside the unit after removing the plastic back weather cover. The blue color label indicates a high-band radio and the red color label indicates a low-band radio. Avoid applying force to the antenna radome as this may damage the internal feed horn. Never rest the unit on a surface with the radome facing down.

Locate polarity sticker b. Orient unit so that line is left to right for horizontal or up and down for vertical. c. Polarity “Must” match at both ends of the link. d. Remove “Ears” and relocate if polarity needs to be changed. 3 1 2 Install the lower elevation lock bolt
BW64 Installation Guide 18 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary It is critically important during installation to ensure the radios on each side of the link are in the same polarization (horizontal-horizontal or vertical-vertical). A link that has a radio on one side of the link set in the horizontal polarization and the other side of the link set in the vertical polarization will not operate properly. It is also critically important that a high-band radio is paired with a low-band radio to ensure the system will operate properly. Prior to installation, check each radio to verify one is a high-band and the other is a low-band version. The label on the radio will indicate the band (blue for high or red for low).

BW64 Installation Guide 21 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary 3.8 Attach Grounding The preferred method for grounding the radio unit is to ground the mast (or wall-mount bracket) to a ground source, since this provides the largest grounding surface contact possible. If this is not possible, then use the following procedure: 1. Attach the lug of a 10 AWG ground cable to the radio at one of the two #8 holes at the bottom of the enclosure using a #8-32 bolt, #8 lock washer and #8 flat washers (not provided). 2. Connect other end of the ground cable to a nearby building exterior ground location.
BW64 Installation Guide 22 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary 3.9 Cable & Conduit Installation Conduit is recommended for enclosure of the cables as they enter the radio. The conduit provides a water-tight entry to the radio, as well as any weather or physical protection required by the cables. The conduit should be flexible, waterproof, and non-metallic. An example of this is LIQUID-TUFF™ UL Liquidtight Flexible Non-Metallic Conduit (Type LFNC-B) or equivalent. Conduit should be 3/4 inches (19 mm) in diameter to match the radio's opening. 3.9.1 Pull Cables Through Conduit
BW64 Installation Guide 23 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary 3.9.2 Attach Conduit to Units Conduit Fitting The conduit fitting comes preinstalled on the unit chassis. The fitting is comprised of the parts depicted below: The following instructions describe attaching the conduit to the conduit fitting. 1. Unscrew the “Compression Nut” and remove the “Sealing ring” and “Ferrule”, leaving the “Fitting Body”, “O-Ring”, and “Lock Nut” attached to the units housing. 2. Insert the cables through the “Compression Nut” and slide the “Compression Nut” onto the conduit. 3. Pass the cables through the “Sealing Ring” and slide the “Sealing Ring” over the conduit so that the tapered end of the “Sealing Ring” faces away from the “Compression Nut”. 4. Next, pass the cables through the “Ferrule” and screw the “Ferrule” onto the end of the conduit. Depending on quantity and type of cables being used it may require inserting only a single cable at a time through the “Ferrule”. When using a fiber SFP, the simplex LC connectors on the fiber cabling must be inserted individually through the components of the fitting as there is not sufficient room for both to fit through at the same time. If you have a duplex hood joining the LC connections, it should be temporarily removed during this process. 5. Pass the cables, one at a time if needed, through the “Fitting Body”, “O Ring”, and “Lock Nut” and into the chassis of the unit. Lock Nut O Ring Fitting Body Ferrule Sealing Ring Compression Nut Assembled Fitting
BW64 Installation Guide 24 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary 6. Push the conduit and “Ferrule” up against the “Fitting Body”, making sure the hex head of the “Ferrule” seats properly in the “Fitting Body”, and then screw the “Compression Nut” onto the “Fitting Body” and hand tighten. 7. Loop the cables around the inside of the enclosure: This minimizes tension on the cables when connected and maintains a proper bend-radius of cabling. 8. A drip loop should be created with the conduit to ensure sufficient length to enable the radio to be moved during servicing and to prevent water from following the conduit down to any junction box or building entrance. A suggested length is 24 inches (60 cm) from the radio to the bottom of the loop. The opposite end of the conduit is inserted into the cable tray if on a tower or onto the NEMA or junction box. 3.9.3 Attach DC Wires to DC Connector (not required when using POE64 kit) 1. Ensure that the DC wire used is either 12 or 14-gauge and the center conductor is comprised of stranded wiring and ensure that a grounded surge suppressor is located at the building’s indoor/outdoor entry point. 2. Confirm that the power source is turned off before proceeding to attach the connector. 3. Connect the provided DC connector onto the wire by inserting the stranded conductors into the “+” or “-” terminal and then using a small flat screw driver to secure the terminals on the connector. 4. Turn on the external power and confirm that the “Power” LED on the unit turns green. 3.9.4 Attach Optional Cat5 cable to 10/100BaseT Interface For applications that require a dedicated out of band management connection to the unit, or for applications using the AdaptPath feature, a CAT5 Ethernet cable can be connected to the 10/100BaseT interface of the unit. If the cable is run to a point of entry into the building then it is recommended to install an Ethernet surge arrestor at the point of entry into the building.
BW64 Installation Guide 25 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary 3.10 Pre-Antenna Alignment Concepts Prior to performing the antenna alignment it is important to understand the fundamentals of the signal being transmitted out of the antenna so that the alignment process can be visualized. It is equally important to understand proper user of the supplied test cable and how it is to be used with a voltmeter. The following sections describe this in detail. 3.10.1 Antenna Lobes The “Main Beam”, “Side Lobes”, and “Nulls” are terms used to describe the common components of a signal being radiated from a parabolic antenna. An antenna focuses, or shapes the radiated energy into a specific direction. As a result of this focusing a majority of the energy directed into the main beam. However, as a byproduct side lobes are also formed. These side lobes are weaker in amplitude than the main beam and radiate out of the antenna at a different angle. A similar concept is the act of squeezing a water balloon. If you squeeze the balloon in the middle it will bulge out in different directions. Between the main beam and the lobes are nulls where the signal drops off. The first side lobe is the next highest peak in relationship to the main lobe and is typically around –20dB lower than the main lobe. When aligning the antennas the goal is to peak the signal on the main lobe. The diagram in Figure 3-3Figure 3-3 depicts the concept of a main beam vs. side lobes and nulls. Figure 3-3Antenna Lobe Concepts
BW64 Installation Guide 26 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary 3.10.2 Using the RSL/QUAL Test Cable The antenna alignment is achieved by using the supplied “RSL/QUAL Test Cable” and a DC voltmeter to peak a received signal level voltage at each end of the link until the maximum voltage is reached. One end of the “RSL/QUAL Test Cable” contains a plug that connects to the jack labeled “Test” on the unit chassis. The other end contains three banana plugs for connecting to a voltmeter. The voltmeter should be set to measure DC voltage and set to the x20 scale. For alignment, only the lead labeled GND and the lead labeled RSL are needed. The RSL voltage will be dependent on the link distance but will max out at just over 3VDC. Refer to the graph in Appendix B to determine the target RSL voltage for the path distance. Figure 3-4 RSL Test Cable The “RSL/QUAL Test Cable” can also be used to check the quality of the received signal level. The QUAL lead of the test cable out puts a value (between 0 and 3.3V) to indicate the error performance of the link. The quality voltage should be disregarded until the target receive signal level has been reached and a calibration of the unit has been performed from the Maintenance page of the web interface Refer to Figure 3-5Figure 3-5 Connect to “Test” port on unit Connect “GND” to “COM” on voltmeter To “V” on voltmeter

The lower the voltage, the more errors are being corrected.  Quality Voltages between 0.5V and 1.0V indicate excessive errors in the wireless link that cannot be corrected by the FEC. To indicate this change in error performance, the quality voltage will drop from 1.5V to 1.0V in a single step.  Quality Voltages below 0.5V indicate an unlocked deframer condition. This will be recognized as a link-down condition.
BW64 Installation Guide 28 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary 3.11 Antenna Alignment The following procedure assumes that both ends of the link have been installed and power has been applied to the units per the instructions listed in the previous sections. 1. Confirm your target Received Signal Level (RSL) voltage from the chart in the RSL Voltage vs. Distance graph in Figure 3-6 RSL Voltage vs. DistanceFigure 6 of Appendix B, or by using the BridgeWave Availability Calculator. 2. Connect a PC to the “10/100BaseT” copper port and web browse into the unit. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1 for the low band unit and 192.168.0.2 for the high band. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the default user name is “admin” and default password is “adminpass” 3. Go to the “Setup” page and set the “Alignment Mode” parameter to “Enabled”. Alignment Mode is Enabled by default. For new installations steps 2 and 3 can be skipped. 4. Slightly loosen the azimuth and elevation bolts and course align the unit so that it roughly points towards the other end of the link and then lock down the bolts to prevent movement. 5. Perform Steps 1 – 4 at both ends of the link. 6. Connect the provided “RSL/QUAL Test Cable” to port labeled “Test” and connect the “RSL” and “COM” lead to a DC voltmeter per section 3.10.2 7. Slightly loosen only the “Azimuth Bolts” and slowly move the unit from left to right and back to find the maximum RSL voltage reading. Note how the signal may go up and down as you sweep through the azimuth. This is a result of the side lobes and nulls. Tighten down the “Azimuth Bolts” before proceeding to the next step. 8. Slightly loosen only the “Elevation Bolts” and slowly move the unit up and down to find the maximum RSL voltage reading. Again, the voltage may go up and down as you pass through the side lobes and nulls. Tighten the “Elevation Bolts” once the maximum RSL voltage is observed. Azimuth Bolts Elevation Bolts
BW64 Installation Guide 29 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary 9. Perform steps 6 -8 on both ends of the link. Only align one end of the link at a time. 10. Once the target RSL is achieved, log into the web interface and go to the Maintenance page. Press the “Auto Cal” button to calibrate the receiver. The process takes approximately two minutes per end, during which time the link will go down and the Link LED on the unit will flash on and off. Perform the calibration at both ends of the link but only calibrate one end of the link at a time. 11. Confirm that the Radio Link light is “Green” and verify that the Quality voltage is 3.3VDC to indicate an error free link. 12. Remove the test cable from the radio, replace the back plastic cover and hand tighten the back cover nut to the point where the back cover stops (that is, when it hits the metal ring on the back metal plate). The installation is now complete.

BW64 Installation Guide 31 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary Appendix A: Troubleshooting The following table provides a summary of possible problems you might encounter while installing, along with possible solutions. Extensive troubleshooting support and knowledgebase articles are available at the BridgeWave eService Center online at: http://bridgewave.com/support Contact support@bridgewave.com to obtain a login account. Problem Possible Cause Resolution No power to radio Power source is not rated to supply proper wattage requirement Check the specifications of the attached DC supply to confirm it meets the 60Watt minimum recommendation. The supply voltage is outside of operating range. Check the output of the power supply with the DC cabling disconnected from the supply. If within range, then the cable run is too long or the cable gauge is too small. Shorten the length of the cable or use larger gauge cable. Fiber light lit at radio but not on network equipment LSP is enabled and radio link is down. This is normal behavior if LSP is enabled. Check LSP configuration on setup page of web interface. TX and RX fibers are swapped. Try swapping the TX and RX fibers at one/both ends of the connection. Error in the configuration of the networking equipment Verify the configuration of the network equipment is consistent with radio unit’s fiber port settings (auto-negotiation and flow control). One or both of the fibers have been damaged or is not connected at both ends. Try swapping the TX and RX fibers at one/both ends of the connection. Visually inspect the fiber cable.
BW64 Installation Guide 32 045-57012 Rev BA BridgeWave Confidential & Proprietary Problem Possible Cause Resolution Cannot establish the wireless link Obstacle in link Verify the line of sight conditions and check for required clearance. (See Section 2.3 for clearance distances). RSL voltage lower than expected Incorrect calculation of link distance Verify that the calculation tool used and the GPS used both use the same annotation system (degree hours minutes seconds or degree with a decimal value). Antennas aligned on side lobes Realign antenna to main lobe. Antennas set to different polarizations Verify that both radios are set to the same polarization (see Section Error! Reference source not found.3.6). Installed two high or low band radios in one link Verify that one end of the link is high and the other end is a low band radio (see Section Error! Reference source not found.3.6). Link exceeds maximum specified range. Verify that maximum path length has not been exceeded. Low link quality voltage Antennas are not aligned for maximum RSL. Verify antenna alignment (see Section 3.103.9). Auto-calibration not completed Force an auto calibration operation (see Section 3.103.9). Interference Check for possible interference by turning off the radio at the other end of the link and verify the RSL voltage on the local site drops below 0.5V. Minimum distance exceeded Install on a path that exceeds the minimum distance. Wireless link established, but no data transfer over the link Network equipment configuration and radio configuration incompatible Verify settings on network equipment to be consistent with radio unit’s fiber port settings. Verify network equipment port configured not to enter error-disable state due to link up/down transitions (see Section Error! Reference source not found.4).
