1.4 Installing the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00
The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. Before you
install the unit, determine whether the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 will be mounted horizontally
or vertically.
The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 must be installed by a trained professional, value
added reseller, or systems integrator who is familiar with RF cell planning
issues and the regulatory limits defined by the FCC for RF exposure,
specifically those limits outlined in sections 1.1307.
The following procedure describes how to install the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 Outdoor
Subscriber Unit.
1. Mount the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 at the desired location.
2. Attach the boot cover, L bracket, and U bolt to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 , as shown in
Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2. Attaching the Boot Cover to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00
3. To power the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 :
– Connect one end of a Category 5 Ethernet LAN cable to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00
Ethernet port.
– Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled CPE on the supplied PoE
adapter.
– Connect the supplied AC adapter to the PoE adapter.
– Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet. The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 performs
its self-test for about 30 seconds. Then the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 LEDs show the
status of the unit (see section 1.6.2).
Do not connect a device other than the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 to the CPE port.
Installing the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00
Libra MAX-SS 5X00TR-WMX-5.8 Outdoor Subscriber Unit User's Guide

Network equipment that does not support PoE can be damaged permanently
by connecting to a PoE source. Most Ethernet interfaces on PCs,
laptop/notebook computers, and other network equipment (such as Ethernet
switches and routers) do not support PoE.
4. If your unit has an external antenna, turn off power to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 , then
attach the antenna to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 antenna connector. Mount the
antenna in a location that provides the best communication with the base station.
Be sure to turn off power to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 before mounting the
antenna.
5. Use the Ground terminal on the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 to ground the unit (for best
practices, see section 1.4.1).
When used in Norway, Finland, or Sweden, this equipment must be installed
in a Restricted Access Location.
This equipment is intended for installation by trained / competent service
personnel only.
Figure 1-3 show an example of the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 installed.

1.4.1 Installation Best Practices
Observe the following best practices when installing the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 .
The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 10/100 Ethernet port auto-senses the cable connected to it and
adjusts automatically. The Ethernet connector is protected with a weatherproof housing.
Pin assignments for this connector are shown in Table 1-1.
Always try to run the Category 5 cable and LMR inside the mounting pole whenever
possible. This helps to insulate the cable form any air surges.
Keep all runs as straight as possible. Never put a full loop into the cables.
The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 antenna’s grounding system must be installed according to
Article 810-15, 810-20, and 810-21 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1993
or applicable National or Local Wiring Codes / Rules. Test all grounds to ensure that they
are using a proper Ground. If you use an electrical socket for Ground, use a socket
tester, such as Radio Shack 22-1412. We recommend you obtain a copy of the National
Electric Code Guide and follow its guidelines. If you are in doubt or have questions about
the antenna grounding system, contact a local licensed electrician. Alternatively, you
can drive your own rod and bond it to the house Ground; this way, you will know that at
least one rod is correctly grounded in the system.
Never attach a Grounding wire when the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 is powered. If the Ground is
to be attached to an existing electrical circuit, turn off the circuit before attaching the
wire.
Never install radio equipment, such as the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 , during an electrical
storm. In addition, to protect your system against damage from lightning, design the
system so it does not attract lightning (it cannot repel lightning, either). National, state,
and local codes are designed to protect life, limb, and property and must always be
obeyed. When in doubt, consult local and national electrical codes or contact an
electrician or professional trained in the design of grounding systems.

1.5 Configuring the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00
After installing the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 , use the procedures in the following sections to
configure it using its Configurator.
1.5.1 Logging in to the Configurator
Your LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 provides a Web-based Configurator for performing advanced
configuration activities. After you install your LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 , use the following
procedure to launch the Configurator.
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port on the PoE to a network-
interface card (NIC) in a PC or network hub.
The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 Ethernet port is equipped with an auto-sensing

2.3.2 VLAN Settings
A VLAN is an administrative grouping of network devices that is logically segmented, by
functions, project teams, or applications rather than a physical or geographical basis.
VLANs provide the segmentation services traditionally provided by routers in LAN
configurations. For example, all workstations and servers used by a particular workgroup
team can be connected to the same VLAN, regardless of their physical connections to
the network. In this way, you can use VLANs to reconfigure the network through
software rather than physically unplugging and moving devices or wires.
Clicking the VLAN link under Network Setup in the left pane of the Configurator
displays the VLAN Settings page. Use this page to select the security settings for the
LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 . Figure 2-5 shows this page, and Table 2-4 describes the fields and
buttons on it.
The VLAN Settings page is divided into four areas:
The top area lets you enable and configure the management VLAN.
The middle area lets you define rules for the management VLAN.
Buttons below the rules area let you add, edit, delete, and update a management VLAN.
The bottom of the page shows the VLAN rules that have been defined.

(default)
• Drop – a Tag Header is not added to the frame.
Nested VLANs Nested VLANs (also known as VLAN double tagging) are used to overlay a private Layer 2
network over a public Layer 2 network. This provides simple access to an infrastructure of
network service providers in networks. With a nested VLAN configuration, each customer is
given a customer-ID, which is a unique identifier within the service provider infrastructure.
Traffic from individual customers is tagged with the customer-ID and segregated from other
customer’s traffic.

Compliance Information
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas having a maximum gain of
32 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 32 dB are strictly
prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
5 GHz Antennas
TR-5.8-32DB-ANT - 32 dBi Dish Antenna
TR-GD58-26 - 26 dBi Grid Antenna
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures: —Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz) to
comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation
as appropriate, as stated in section A9.2(3) of RSS-210 June 2007.
In addition, users should also be cautioned to take note that high-power radars are allocated
as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850
MHz and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
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.
This device must be installed so that there is a minimum of 139 cm between the
antenna and any person.
