All rights reserved 10 | P a g e 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.

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.

All rights reserved 65 | P a g e 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.

All rights reserved 81 | P a g e 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.

All rights reserved 10/14/2010 Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology Laboratory Division 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: Devices will not transmit on channels which overlap the 5600 – 5650 MHz band. 1 Devices intended for outdoor use will be further restricted, as follows: o Devices must be professionally installed when operating in the 5470 – 5725 MHz band, 2 o Grantees 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 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. The grantee must identify the specific expertise and the training required by the installers for installing these types of devices. 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. 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. 443999 D01 Approval of DFS UNII Devices v01 10/14/2010 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 Devices 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 All 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 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. 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. 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. The TCBs are not permitted to approve transmitters with radar detection capabilities. See KDB 628591. 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. 443999 D01 Approval of DFS UNII Devices v01 10/14/2010 TDWR Location Information* STATE CITY LONGITUDE LATITUDE FREQUENCY TERRAIN ELEVATION (MSL) [ft] ANTENNA HEIGHT ABOVE TERRAIN [ft] AZ PHOENIX W 112 09 46 N 33 25 14 5610 MHz 1024 CO DENVER W 104 31 35 N 39 43 39 5615 MHz 5643 64 64 FL FT LAUDERDALE W 080 20 39 N 26 08 36 5645 MHz 113 FL MIAMI W 080 29 28 N 25 45 27 5605 MHz 10 113 FL ORLANDO W 081 19 33 N 28 20 37 5640 MHz 72 97 FL TAMPA W 082 31 04 N 27 51 35 5620 MHz 14 80 FL WEST PALM BEACH W 080 16 23 N 26 41 17 5615 MHz 20 113 GA ATLANTA W 084 15 44 N 33 38 48 5615 MHz 962 113 IL MCCOOK W 087 51 31 N 41 47 50 5615 MHz 646 97 IL CRESTWOOD W 087 43 47 N 41 39 05 5645 MHz 663 113 IN INDIANAPOLIS W 086 26 08 N 39 38 14 5605 MHz 751 97 KS WICHITA W 097 26 13 N 37 30 26 5603 MHz 1270 80 KY COVINGTON CINCINNATI W 084 34 48 N 38 53 53 5610 MHz 942 97 113 KY LOUISVILLE W 085 36 38 N 38 02 45 5646 MHz 617 LA NEW ORLEANS W 090 24 11 N 30 01 18 5645 MHz 97 MA BOSTON W 070 56 01 N 42 09 30 5610 MHz 151 113 MD BRANDYWINE W 076 50 42 N 38 41 43 5635 MHz 233 113 MD BENFIELD W 076 37 48 N 39 05 23 5645 MHz 184 113 MD CLINTON W 076 57 43 N 38 45 32 5615 MHz 249 97 MI DETROIT W 083 30 54 N 42 06 40 5615 MHz 656 113 MN MINNEAPOLIS W 092 55 58 N 44 52 17 5610 MHz 1040 80 MO KANSAS CITY W 094 44 31 N 39 29 55 5605 MHz 1040 64 MO SAINT LOUIS W 090 29 21 N 38 48 20 5610 MHz 551 97 MS DESOTO COUNTY W 089 59 33 N 34 53 45 5610 MHz 371 113 NC CHARLOTTE W 080 53 06 N 35 20 14 5608 MHz 757 113 NC RALEIGH DURHAM W 078 41 50 N 36 00 07 5647 MHz 400 113 NJ WOODBRIDGE W 074 16 13 N 40 35 37 5620 MHz 19 113 NJ PENNSAUKEN W 075 04 12 N 39 56 57 5610 MHz 39 113 NV LAS VEGAS W 115 00 26 N 36 08 37 5645 MHz 1995 64 NY FLOYD BENNETT FIELD W 073 52 49 N 40 35 20 5647 MHz 97 OH DAYTON W 084 07 23 N 40 01 19 5640 MHz 922 97 OH CLEVELAND W 082 00 28 N 41 17 23 5645 MHz 817 113 OH COLUMBUS W 082 42 55 N 40 00 20 5605 MHz 1037 113 OK AERO.
