SkyZhone features
The SkyZhone access point uses 5dBi antennas that provide a 26 degree
beam-width per antenna. Additionally, the three 2.4 GHz antennas are
oriented to provide complete coverage both horizontally and vertically.
SkyZhone access point’s signals extend up and down, and all around to
minimize dead spots.
MIMO (Multiple-In, Multiple-Out) technology maximizes the receive signal
strength from typical low-power 802.11b/g client devices and enables
SkyZhone to maintain a reliable link at distances more than 50% greater than
non-MIMO solutions.
In Figure 1 on page 12, note that the 4.9 GHz 802.11a radio uses the bottom
two antennas and the 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g radio uses the top three antennas.
The 2.4 GHz radio operates in the unlicensed ISM band and can be used for a
variety of applications such as Internet Access, Voice over IP, Mobile Video,
or Enterprise VPN.
The 4.9 GHz radio operates in the licensed spectrum reserved for Public
Safety users including city government, police, fire and EMT.
SkyZhone features
The SkyZhone access points communicate with SkyZhone aggregators using
standards-based SHDSL-EFM uplinks to transport data traffic between access
points and the Central Office or remote cabinet.
After initial power up, the SkyZhone access point contacts the ACS Server,
downloads the latest software, downloads the configuration file, and registers
itself with the Network Management System (NMS) system.
The SkyZhone access points’ dual-radio architecture provides 2.4GHz access
for residential and commercial applications while simultaneously providing
4.9GHz access for public safety applications, using industry standard IEEE
802.11 client devices.
Remote configuration and troubleshooting is supported via SSH and HTTPS
to SkyZhone access points through a separate management VLAN. In
addition, a console port is provided for local access to the CLI.
SkyZhone also includes a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) port which provides for
connectivity from the SkyZhone access point to a video camera or other
accessory.
Bonding
The SkyZhone access point supports Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM)
bonding on SHDSL lines. This bonding complies with the IEEE 802.3ah
standard. Additional SHDSL lines can be added as your bandwidth needs
increase. The SkyZhone access point automatically performs load balancing
over the SHDSL lines.

placement of units for maximum range, coverage, and network performance.
The SkyZhone radio is susceptible to interference that can reduce data rate
and range. For best performance, follow these guidelines:
•
Install the unit in an area where trees, buildings, and large steel structures
do not obstruct radio signals to and from the antenna. Be sure to consider
the future tree growth and construction when considering a site. Direct
line-of-sight operation is always best. Antennae should be kept at least 8
inches away from contact with the general public passing by the area.
•
Install the units away from other possible sources of 2.4 GHz WLAN
interference. These sources include cordless phones and microwave
ovens, as well as other WiFi access points.
•
Install the units, when wall-mounted, onto an area that can accommodate
the plastic casing and lid of 24 inches high and at least 36 inches wide.

Installing the SkyZhone access point
Initial Configuration
Using the factory defaults
The factory defaults for the SkyZhone Access Point includes two VLANS.
•
VLAN 1 is the default data VLAN.
Ports eth0 (SHDSL), eth1 (PoE), and wlan1 are all members of this
VLAN.
•
VLAN 7 is the default management VLAN.
Ports eth0 (SHDSL) and eth1 (PoE) are members of this VLAN.
Before using the SkyZhone Access point, use the CLI commands on the
console interface to assign an IP address to the SkyZhone. For your network,
determine the appropriate IP addresses as well as subnet mask, default
gateway and broadcast address settings. The SkyZhone Access Point can now
be configured for management.
In the following example, the values for the settings for the network are:
•
IP address: 10.108.14.218
•
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
•
Broadcast Address: 10.108.14.255
•
Default gateway: 10.108.14.254
Use the following three commands to configure VLAN management.
•
config if interface brvlan7 ip 10.108.14.218 mask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.108.14.255
•
config if route-add destination default gateway 10.108.14.254
•
config admin-tools save running-config
After entering these commands, the system can be managed using SSH or
HTTPS over the SHDSL interface or the PoE interface.
Refer to the SkyZhone CLI Reference Guide for a list of supported commands
to configure advanced SkyZhone features.
Changing the factory defaults
If you are not using the factory default VLANs, you need to delete the default
VLANs and configure the VLANs that are appropriate for your network. In
the example below, VLAN 2 is used for management instead of the default
VLAN 7. Also, VLAN 122 is the data VLAN instead of VLAN 1.
38

Installing the SkyZhone access point
Using the Ethernet interface
The Ethernet port can be used to configure the SkyZhone using the factory
default. The Ethernet port on the SkyZhone has a default address of
192.168.1.1. If a static IP address is set on your PC that is on the same subnet
(for example, 192.168.1.100), then use HTTPS to configure the remaining
parameters. Note that the SkyZhone uses HTTPS and not HTTP. The default
login is admin and the default password is zhone.
Note that if the IP address of the management VLAN is changed, you lose
your connection to the SkyZhone unit. A new static IP address must be
configured on your PC that is compatible with the new IP address that you
configured in the SkyZhone unit.
Also, if any changes have been made to the VLAN definitions, the
corresponding changes will have to be made in the DSLAM that the
SkyZhone is connected to.

expressly approved by the manufacturer.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Zhone
Technologies, Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
• The supplied cables and antennae must be used to ensure
compliance with Part 15, FCC Rules.
• This device may only be used with approved antennae that are
shipped with the unit and installed per installation instructions. The
use of any other antennas will invalidate the unit's FCC Part 15
certification.
• The 2.4 GHz band has been designed to operate with the antennae
listed below, and having a maximum gain of 5 dBi. Antennae not
included in this list (Comet Part Number CFA-245W-SR) or having
a gain greater than 5 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
• The 4.9 GHz band has been designed to operate with the antennae
listed below, and having a maximum gain of 5.3 dBi. Antennae not
included in this list (Comet Part Number SF-D49NW-SR) or
having a gain greater than 5.3 dBi are strictly prohibited for use
with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
• To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
permitted for successful communication. Operating the device with
the supplied antennas will ensure that this requirement is met.

Safety, Regulations, and Certifications
• Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Grounding and isolation
Proper grounding of the SkyZhone platform must be completed before you
connect power to the unit.
•
The internal subassemblies signal/Logic ground is internally bonded to
the Safety Ground (chassis).
•
SkyZhone provides both Primary and Secondary lightning and surge
protection to the SHDSL and PoE cable signals. The Console cable
signals are not protected and this cable, which is not intended for outdoor
use, should not be connected when the unit is installed.
•
The SHDSL cable that carries RFT-V power to the unit has no connection
to the Chassis Ground. This cable shield is only intended to add durability
and mechanical protection of the internal wires.
•
Proper Safety Grounding is required to insure proper operation and
protection from lightning strikes and surges. A copper ground lug is
provided on the unit for this purpose. Connect a length of #10 AWG solid,
bare, copper wire to the grounding lug and firmly tighten the grounding
screw (see Figure 20). Connect the other end of the grounding wire to a
grounded surface or another earth ground such as a metal rod.
Installation safety precautions
Maximum ambient operating temperature should not exceed 500C (1220F).
Minimum ambient operating temperature should not exceed -350C (-31 0F).
Observe the maximum recommended operating temperature as indicated here.
Do not block system air vents; this will deprive the system of the airflow
required for proper cooling. Sufficient clearance must exist on all sides of the
rack to permit equipment access. Connect the system to the power supply
circuit as described in this document. Do not overload the system or power
supply circuit. Ensure that proper system grounding is performed and
maintained.

Important Safety Instructions
Read and follow all warning notices and instructions
marked on the product or included in the manual.
The SkyZhone product is a line power device conforming to UL 60950-1
and UL 60950-21. The DC voltages (RFT-V signals) provided to
SkyZhone through the SHDSL connector must be provide by a UL
60950-1 and UL 60950-21 certified power source, typically located at the
Central Office. One such certified power source is the Argus
Technologies CSM35 Modular Converter System (#012-550-B2).
Uncertified power source should not be used. The installer must verify
this
The Telco must be contacted to assure the cables providing the SHDSL
data and power to the unit are capable of carrying the RFT-V voltages
required.
3 Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing
covers may expose you to hazardous voltage or to other risks. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
When installed, the product must comply with the applicable Safety
Standards and regulatory requirements of the country in which it is
installed. If necessary, consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies
and inspection authorities to ensure compliance.
4 A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between the earth
grounds of two or more buildings. If products installed in separate
buildings are interconnected, the voltage potential may cause a hazardous
condition. Consult a qualified electrical consultant to determine whether
or not this phenomenon exists and, if necessary, implement corrective
action prior to interconnecting the products.
5 In addition, since the equipment is to be used with telecommunications
circuits, take the following precautions:
— Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
— Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
— Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
— Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
— Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an
electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
— Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the
leak.
