Logging into a repeater

1. 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.

10 | P a g e

DigitalPath, Inc. 275 Airpark Boulevard, Suite 500, Chico, CA 95973 | 800-676-PATH |www.digitalpath.net

- 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.

Generation 5 Device Modes

1. Uplink Router

An Uplink Router will connect the site and start a new routed subnet.

2. Downlink Router

Downlink router mode will feed other relays and or connect customers on

external devices or an Omni-directional antenna. It will also start a new

routed subnet.

3. Downlink Bridge

Downlink Bridge will be bridged off the sites current subnet and feed another

relay and or connect customers on external devices or an Omni directional

antenna.

4. Uplink Bridge

Uplink Bridge will connect the site and be in the same bridge 1group as the

downlink that feeds it.

You will have to put in a SSID of the sites name followed by UL. Set the

correct txpower and mileage. More information on the fields is listed below.

Upstream MAC: This is the MAC address of the device the uplink will be

connecting to.

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.

Configuring Card 1 (directional downlink AP- card 1)

Next, If replacing a device simply pull the configuration data from the device

being replaced. If it is a new device label the device appropriately e.g. if it

feeds 701 Main St. label the SSID as 701mainstDL).

Downlink Frequency: This is the frequency band the radio will broadcast

in.

Downlink Channel: This will be a downlink channel that will feed either a

relay or Point to multi point customers. When choosing a channel use a

channel that is not used on the site and is at least 4 channels away from any

frequency used on the site.

Downlink SSID: Use a SSID that is appropriately labeled. E. G. if the

downlink is feeding a relay such as 701 Main St. use 701mainDL. There

should be no spaces in the SSID.

25 | P a g e

DigitalPath, Inc. 275 Airpark Boulevard, Suite 500, Chico, CA 95973 | 800-676-PATH |www.digitalpath.net

Downlink Power: This is the transmit power the radio will broadcast at.

Please talk to your supervisor about appropriate transmit power settings.

Downlink Distance: This is the Ack time out settings that calculate how far

to send the data. Setting the distance to 10% longer than the actual distance

between repeaters is recommended. If it is an internal panel antenna the

longest distance it can broadcast is 10miles.

Downlink AutoAck: Is a program that tests how many errors on each

acktmout settings occurs and will manipulate itself 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.

Downlink Channel Width: Chanel 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.

Downlink Mac: The downlink mac is the mac address either relays or CPEs

will connect to. If replacing the device this mac address will need to be

cloned.

Site Survey: Will survey all available wireless devices in the area. An

extended survey will show you more devices and will survey longer. An

extended survey is recommended when trying to find wireless devices.

This can be either 5.3 GHz A only , 5.5 GHz A only or 5.8 A only.

Omni Channel: This is the wireless channel the radio will broadcast on. See

graph below for overlapping channels.

Omni SSID: The Omni SSID should contain a short description of the unit.

Omni Power: This is the transmit power the radio will broadcast at. Please

see the transmit power table located in the FCC section of this document for

the proper self-installation transmit power for your antenna/device.

Omni Distance: This is the Ack time out settings. This should be an

approximation of the mileage of the link.

Configuring Card 1 (5 GHz directional uplink client –card 1)

Next, to connect the site we will need to do a survey from card 1 (5 GHz

directional uplink client). Scroll down to the site survey column and press

extended. This will survey for all available wireless device in the 5 GHz band.

After finding the appropriate downlink to connect to simply press the red link

labeled >select. This will enter the upstream Mac address, uplink frequency,

and uplink channel. You will have to put in a SSID of the sites name followed

by UL. Set the correct txpower and mileage. More information on the fields is

listed below.

Upstream MAC: This is the MAC address of the device the uplink will be

connecting to.

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.

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%

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.

Button Operation

Power Cycle the repeater

Give the button a short push until both LEDs turn red. Power to the

repeater(s) will go off for 5 seconds then back on. The LEDs will slowly

alternate red / red while the power is off.

2c.2. Reset the MCu on CHMONv5

Hold the button down for over 2 seconds until you see the flashing Start-

Up/Reset sequence.

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:

80 | P a g e

DigitalPath, Inc. 275 Airpark Boulevard, Suite 500, Chico, CA 95973 | 800-676-PATH |www.digitalpath.net

Using a Fuse other than the one specified may result in permanent damage

to CHMONv5

1. Locate the Fuse in Figure 2a.1

2. Pull the Fuse out by rocking it up and down

3. Insert another fuse with the same ratings

4. Reset the MCu (see 2b.2)

5. Verify the LEDs indicate a good fuse

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

443999 D01 Approval of DFS UNII Devices v01

Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices Operating in the 5470 - 5725 MHz Band with Radar

Detection and DFS Capabilities

The FCC, NTIA, FAA and industry are working to resolve interference to Terminal Doppler Weather

Radar (TDWR) systems used near airports that has occurred from some outdoor wireless systems

operating in the 5470 MHz – 5725 MHz band. These wireless devices are subject to Section 15.407 of

our rules and when operating as a master device they are required to implement radar detection and DFS

functions. 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.1

xDevices intended for outdoor use will be further restricted, as follows:

oDevices must be professionally installed when operating in the 5470 – 5725 MHz band,2

oGrantees 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.

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.6

xDevices 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.7

xAll 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.9

5 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.
