How to login to relay point locally  First, hard set a local area connection to a IP address in the range of 172.16.0.X e.g. 172.16.0.50 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 with no gateway.

All rights reserved  - Plug in a power-supply to an electrical outlet and then, run a patch cable from the pigtail to the middle port (eth0) on the repeater. You will then see a green light on in the water box. You can also use eth1 to program repeaters.  - After, plug the other end of the pigtail (the 4-inch black cable) into the Ethernet port we earlier set to the 172 hard set IP address.  - Open a web browser and try to login to https://172.16.0.1:8000 a. Troubleshooting logging in  - If you can’t get into the device open a command prompt window Ping the  172.16.0.1. If you can’t ping the 172.16.0.1 try pinging the 172.168.0.x address we assigned to the local area connection. If you can ping the local area connection than locally it is correct.    - Then go to your local area connection and right-click and go to repair. After it repairs attempt to ping the 172.16.0.1. If you can’t go back to the local area connection and disable and then enable it again. Then attempt to ping the 172.16.0.1. You should be able to ping the address and login to the device. If not start back at the beginning step 1. If the device is new out of manufacturing you can use the 10.0.201.250 address to login to the repeater. You may have to follow the above steps but change your local area connection IP address to 10.0.201.50.

Uplink frequency: The current frequency band the radio will broadcast in. 5.3 GHz A only 5.5 GHz A only and 5.8 GHz A only.   Uplink channel: This will be dependent upon the uplink frequency field.  Uplink SSID:  It is helpful to set this field to something related to the location of the device. There can be no spaces in the SSID.   Uplink Power: This is the transmit power the radio will broadcast at.  Uplink Distance: This is the ack time-out setting that calculates how far to send the data. Setting the distance to 10% longer than the actual distance between repeaters is recommended.   Uplink AutoAck: Is a program that tests how many errors on each acktmout settings occurs and will manipulate it-self to the correct ack time out settings with the least errors.  *Only use this on far shots that are affected by speeds or duplicate packets due to a fluctuating ack value.   Uplink Channel Width: Channel width can be set to 20 MHz or 10 MHz. This is the channel space the current frequency will broadcast at. 20 MHz will give you more throughput and is recommended for infill, backhaul repeaters and uplinks. 10 MHz is recommended for point to multi-point connections.   Uplink Mac: The uplink mac is one mac address that is associated to the card1 br1 bridge group. This mac will never have to be cloned when replacing devices.

All rights reserved  Notice of FCC power compliance for transmit power settings  Below is information related to dynamic frequency selection and power settings per band specific to the antenna(s) you are using.   DFS and TDWR  Terminal Dopper Weather Radar uses the 5600-5650 MHz band for generating high definition severe thunderstorm warnings.  There are several of these sites throughout the United States.  If you are within 35 kilometers of a TDWR station you must be at least 30 MHz center-to-center from the TDWR operating frequency for both client and base station equipment.  Table of the current TDWR can be found in the FCC document “ 443999 Do1 Approval of DFS UNII Devices v01” from OET located at the URL below.  https://apps.fcc.gov/kdb/GetAttachment.html?id=dV24P2kaxB%2BkKzIPZxHxHg%3D%3D  The original bulletin is also attached to the end of this manual for reference.  Professional Installation Transmit Power Settings Tables  Antenna type, channel width and frequency band specified.  On two card radio devices, each radio must be in a different band (e.g. 5.3, 5.5, 5.8 GHz).  DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) is enabled for the 5250-5350, 5470-5725.  The 5725-5850 band is ISM 15.247 and does not require DFS.  For the frequencies/antennas and channel widths listed below, it is advised that you utilize the lowest transmit power for the particular band/modulation/channel width if you are unsure about what modulation scheme you want to run.

Lid Sensor  CHMONv5 is equipped with an Infrared (IR) lid sensor. The sensor works by sending and receiving pulses of IR energy every second. It is extremely important the area immediately above the sensors is kept free of cords or other obstructions. The lid must also have the reflective tape properly applied or the sensor will malfunction.  When the Lid is on the LEDs go out to save power. When the lid is removed it may take up to 2 seconds or (1 minute on older boards) before the LEDs turn on.  Fuse Replacement  CHMONv5 can sense when it has a blown fuse or a problem with the battery circuit. If a blown fuse or improperly connected battery is detected CHMONv5 will not check for a fuse again. The MCu must be reset after the fuse is replaced  CHMONv5 Fuse: ATO 32V 3Amp (Purple)  NOTE:

All rights reserved  Heart-Beat Monitoring Introduction: CHMONv5 has the ability to monitor if the repeater that is connected via POS (Power Over Serial) is operating in a stable state. If the repeater software locks up CHMONv5 will detect it and initiate a power cycle after 3 minutes. If the repeater is not able to boot up properly and begin Heart-Beat Monitoring CHMONv5 will leave the power on and un-interrupted. This is useful for connecting equipment other than DPN Gen5 repeaters  The Heat-Beat (HB) function utilizes the following items:    Serial RS323 POS (Power Over Serial) link   Service Daemon (PmonD) on the Gen5 repeater   Logic Firmware on the CHMONv5 board  PmonD sends a Heart Beat (HB) signal every 30 seconds. When CHMONv5 receives a HB signal it begins a countdown of 3 minutes. If another signal is not sent within 3 minutes or 5 HBs CHMONv5 will cycle the power to the repeaters.  CHMONv5 will never enter into monitoring mode if a HB signal is never sent. CHMONv5 will also only cycle the power ounce if the repeater fails to come back online.  NOTE: If CHMONv5 is in Monitoring Mode and it is logged into or processes are killed that contribute to the Heart-Beat. You will be at risk of CHMONv5 initiating a power cycle 3 minutes from the time the system was interrupted.

We are continuing our work to  develop  long-term  equipment authorization test  procedures that will ensure that the devices comply with our rules that include protecting the TDWR operations.  In the interim, the Commission will now allow certification of wireless master devices with radar detection function and with DFS capability, if they meet the following conditions: xDevices will not transmit on channels which overlap the 5600 – 5650 MHz band.1xDevices intended for outdoor use will be further restricted, as follows:oDevices must be professionally installed when operating in the 5470 – 5725 MHz band,2oGrantees must provide owners, operators and all such installers with specific instructions in their user’s manual on requirements to avoid interference to TDWRs and information that meets the following instructions: Any  installation  of  either a master or  a  client  device  within  35  km of  a  TDWR location shall be separated by at least 30 MHz (center-to-center) from the TDWR operating frequency (as shown in the attached table)3, 4, 5, and 1 The devices subject to the requirements in this KDB can select the initial channel for operation to avoid TDWRs and apply the Uniform Channel Spreading requirements (see FCC 06-96 in ET Docket 03-122 released June 30, 2006) on the remaining available frequency band of operation.  All the other test procedures including the test radar patterns remain the same at the present time.  A revision to the measurement procedure with modification to the Uniform Channel Spreading requirement and other changes will be released in the future.  The Commission will also address the issue of any field upgrade option at that time. 2 The grantee must identify the specific expertise and the training required by the installers for installing these types of devices. 3 In some instances it is possible that a device may be within 35 km of multiple TDWRs.  In this case the device must ensure that it avoids operation within 30 MHz for each of the TDWRs.  This requirement applies even if the master is outside the 35 km radius but communicates with outdoor clients which may be within the 35 km radius of the TDWRs. 4 The requirement for ensuring 30 MHz frequency separation is based on the best information available to date.  If interference is not eliminated, a distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be used.  In addition, devices with bandwidths greater than 20 MHz may require greater frequency separation.
10/14/2010 443999 D01 Approval of DFS UNII Devices v01 2Procedures  for the  installers  and the  operators  on how  to  register  the  devices in the  industry-sponsored  database  with  the  appropriate  information  regarding  the location and operation of the device and installer information is included.6xDevices must meet all of the other requirements specified in Section 15.407, and it is prohibited  to  include  configuration  controls  (e.g.  country  code  settings  or  other  options  to  modify  DFS functions) to change the frequency of operations to any frequency other than those specified on the grant of certification for US operation.7xAll  applications  for  equipment  authorization  must  clearly  show  compliance  with  all  of  the technical  requirements  under  worst  case  parameters,  under  user  or  operator  control,  based  on frame rates, listen/talk ratios and user data transfer conditions. All  the  devices  subject  to  the  DFS  requirements  must  be  submitted  to  the  Commission’s  Laboratory Division  for  pre-grant  testing  and  equipment  authorization.8   The  applicant  must  ensure  that  all equipment  authorization  applications  subject  to  this  interim  procedure  include  appropriate  attestations that the device has no option to change the DFS parameters and that transmissions are disabled at least in  the  5600  –  5650  MHz  band.   The  application  must include  the  user’s  manual  with  the  appropriate installation and operations requirements for the installers and operators. We are continuing to evaluate additional measures that may need to be taken to further ensure against interference caused by 5 GHz outdoor wireless systems located near airports.  While manufacturers have an obligation to ensure that their equipment complies with FCC rules, and must take steps to ensure their devices are unlikely to cause harmful interference, Section 15.5 of the Commission’s rules also places an obligation on users of devices to avoid causing interference and to correct any interference that may occur.  We encourage the manufacturers to include information for the users, including the operators and installers, to ensure that they understand that it is incumbent on them to cooperate with manufacturers to implement any changes necessary to facilitate compliance.95  Devices may be optionally designed not to transmit on channels which overlap 5570 – 5680 MHz instead of requiring installers to perform site-by-site adjustments.  In that case it is still required that the devices should be installed professionally and the procedures for registering the device in the industry database should be included in the Users Manual. 6 A voluntary WISPA sponsored database has been developed that allows operators and installers to register the location information of the UNII devices operating outdoors in the 5470 – 5725 MHz band within 35 km of any TDWR location (see http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx).  This database may be used by government agencies in order to expedite resolution of any interference to TDWRs. 7 For example, device software must not have any country code options or software configuration settings which allow an end user to modify the DFS operation or impact the performance of DFS.  See KDB 594280. 8 The TCBs are not permitted to approve transmitters with radar detection capabilities. See KDB 628591. 9 The manufacturers may consider taking steps providing clear instructions to operators and installers of devices as to the need to comply with rules for use of the band, guidance on registration of devices and any other processes that are designed to avoid interference.  They may use methods that include, but are not limited to, instructions in manuals, notification on product web pages and service bulletins issued for products in the field.
