The ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios The Exalt ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios are the most advanced quad-band radios operating in the 4.9, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.8 GHz bands. The ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios connect digital data from one location to another, obviating the need for copper or fiber connectivity, or enhancing existing connectivity by providing a redundancy solution, a primary solution, and/or additional capacity. Figure 1 shows the ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series digital microwave radios. Figure 1 Exalt ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Radios 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios The following ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios (-A North American models; -E ETSI/ ITU models; -W rest-of-world models) are covered in this manual: • • r5050 and rc5050 – configured with 100 Mbps aggregate over-the-air capacity (1PoE port plus two Ethernet ports) – with license key upgrade for 250 Mbps aggregate over-the-air capacity r5600H-17, rc5600H-N, r5661S-17, r5600S-23, and r5600S-N (-17 models have a built-in software-selectable 17/9dBi gain antenna [20° or 60° 3dB Beamwidth]; -23 models have a built-in 23dBi gain antenna [10° 3dB Beamwidth]) – configured with 100 Mbps aggregate over-the-air capacity (1PoE port plus two Ethernet ports) – with license key upgrade for 250 Mbps aggregate over-the-air capacity The ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios allow operations in a near line-of-sight (nLOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions. Provide proper path clearance to achieve a highperformance, reliable connection. Perform professional path engineering and site planning before installing this equipment. The primary focus of this document is the installation and management of the digital microwave radio, and assumes that path engineering and site planning has already been performed. ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios utilize radio frequencies in the 4.90 to 4.94 GHz range. In most countries, this frequency band is allocated exclusively for Public Safety usage and specific restrictions for applications may apply. Licensing or registration may be required. Consult your country regulations to determine any restrictions that may apply and any process that must be followed to implement links in this band. ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios utilize radio frequencies in the 5.250 to 5.875 GHz range. In most countries these frequency bands are considered as ‘license-exempt’ or ‘unlicensed.’ This means that virtually any user may use these frequencies freely, without paying for access, or any type of prenotification, post-notification or registration. As a result of this designation, users may also move or change these systems at any time, with significant flexibility to the location, orientation and configuration of the system. However, due also to this designation, there may be uncontrolled interference from other similar devices that occupy this spectrum. In these cases, it is up to engineering and maintenance personnel to design the system with existing and future interference sources in mind, recognizing that there is a chance that the interference conditions could be very dynamic, and outages may occur on the system as a result, and that, in some very rare cases, the system may cause interference into another system and may be required to be disengaged or modified/re-oriented to eliminate the interference. If the spectrum in your country is designated as ‘license-exempt’ or similar, this does not infer that the installer may configure the system in any manner at any location. In most cases, there are regulations, or device-based conditions that limit the use of the device, such as maximum gain antenna, antenna types and maximum output power, as well as, in some cases, application limits, limited geography of use, and other unique regulations. The link design engineer and/or professional installer must determine these limitations and engineer/install the system within the confines of all local regulations. Also, it is required to examine any regulations that may apply to peripheral equipment, installation and cabling of the system that may be regulated for human safety, electrical code, air-traffic control, and other safety-related categories. In certain countries, the spectrum for this product is NOT considered to be license-exempt. In these cases, there may be additional regulatory requirements concerning the location, frequency, power, orientation, configuration, and other aspects of the system, including, in some cases, a need for link 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios registration, coordination, and fees that may apply to the system usage. Please consult your local regulatory organization(s) to determine usage requirements. In almost all cases, either for license-exempt or other designation, the product itself must be authorized for use in your country. Either Exalt or Exalt’s agent must have applied for certification or authorization to allow the sale and deployment of the system within the country. It is also possible that only certain versions or configurations of the device are allowed within a particular country. Please contact Exalt or your authorized Exalt representative for information pertaining to your country. Note: It is the (professional) installer’s responsibility to ensure that the radio system is implemented in a legal fashion. Exalt is not liable for any unsafe or illegal installations. Basic Features ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave radios are intended for all-outdoor mounting and powered by a separately-purchased power injector. In some cases, the radio can be mounted indoors or in an enclosure. Depending on the configuration purchased, the associated antenna is either integrated as part of the unit or connected separately. For the external antenna models, the unit is typically mounted very close to the external antenna to minimize RF cabling and associated losses. Alternatively, the unit can be mounted at an easily accessible location with longer RF cabling to the antenna. Proper lightning or surge suppression devices and associated grounding are required for all connections. Figure 2 Cabling and mounting For highest performance and reliability, it is advised to minimize the length of RF cable and associated transmission system losses between the antenna and the radio’s antenna port. The ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios provide connections for a combination of the following data communication interfaces: • One 10/100/1000BaseT (PoE) port and two 10/100BaseT ports 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios are powered by a combined Power/Ethernet cable, and associated power injector. The power injector provides 48VDC to the unit. The power injector and/or external power supply are sold separately. The ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios provide the following primary features and benefits: • Longer range with smaller antennas. Exalt provides the highest system gain advantage with higher transmit power while sustaining higher throughput levels when competitors must lower modulation levels to maintain the link. • Space-Time Block Code (STBC) support: The space-time block code used in ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios is based on an Alamouti sequence and uses two antennas to transmit a single data stream. This allows transmit diversity and power distribution, which reduces linearity requirements and improves the link budget by 3dB. • Encryption for extreme wireless security • Easy-to-use management and configuration • Flexible utilized channel bandwidth selection for interference avoidance and frequency coordination • Flexible center frequency tuning for interference avoidance and frequency coordination • Flexible capacity to meet current connection requirements and future growth needs • Carrier-class reliability and performance • High density collocation using ExaltSyncTM ExpandAir Hub and Subscriber Models The ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radio is a high performance sub-6 GHz wireless Point-toMultipoint (PMP) platform utilizing 2x2 MIMO and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies. With the ability to support up to sixteen Subscriber units per Hub unit, alloutdoor ExpandAir PMP solutions provide high throughput at extended ranges while OFDM allows for operation in Line of Sight (LOS), near Line of Sight (nLOS), and Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) environments. 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Pre-installation Tasks This section describes the steps necessary to prepare a site for the installation of the Exalt Digital Microwave Radio. Link Engineering and Site Planning Design all terrestrial wireless links prior to purchase and installation. Generally, professional wireless engineering personnel are engaged to determine the viability and requirements for a well-engineered link to meet the users’ needs for performance and reliability. Exalt recommends using a link budget calculator and/or path planning tool to aid in the pre-planning and engineering required to determine following attributes: • Antenna type gain at each end of the link • Antenna mounting height/location for proper path clearance • Antenna polarization orientation • RF cabling type, length, connectors, route, and mounting • Antenna system grounding • Lightning arrestor type(s), location(s), and grounding • Radio mounting location and mechanisms • Radio grounding • Radio transmitter output power setting • Anticipated received signal level (RSL) at each end • Anticipated fade margin and availability performance at each end • Radio settings • Anticipated throughput performance With respect to radio path and site planning, these radios are generally identical to other microwave terrestrial wireless systems. Engineering of these systems requires specific knowledge about the radios, including: • RF specifications (transmitter output power, receiver threshold, occupied channel bandwidth, and carrier-to-interference) • Regulatory limitations on transmitter output power setting and antenna type/gain • Noise/interference profile for the intended location Familiarization w ith the ExtendAir eMI MO and ExpandAir Series Radios The ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios utilize time division duplex (TDD) radio transmission. This means that the transmitted signal in both directions uses the same center frequency and transmits in one direction for a period of time, and then in the opposite direction for another period of time. This total period of time is referred to as the frame length or TDD frame length, and is further discussed in Time Division Duplex (TDD) Factors. 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios For ExtendAir eMIMO Point-to-Point (PTP) terminals, the two radio terminals are identical hardware, except for the Endpoint Identifier option in software. When the radios are in their default state, both radios are configured as Radio B. One end of the link must be configured as Radio A before the two ends of the radio system can communicate. It can be considered that Radio A is the primary radio in the link. Radio A provides the Radio A clock and control to Radio B. For most applications, it is not important how the radio link is oriented, only that one end is configured for Radio A and the other for Radio B. For some applications (such as, multi-radio hub sites or repeaters), the orientation of the radio systems may be more critical. See Link Orientation for details. For ExpandAir Point-to-Multipoint (PMP), the Hub is equivalent to Radio A. Subscribers, or Subs, are equivalent to Radio B. ExtendAir eMIMO PTP terminals can be configured as Radio B and be installed as Subs in an ExpandAir network. That is, two ends of an existing PTP link can be re-purposed as two Subs in a PMP network by adding an ExpandAir Hub. Exalt recommends using the Exalt GUI for radio configuration. This interface requires a computer with an Ethernet port and web browser software, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or above. See Configuration and Management for details on how to connect to and use the browser-based GUI interface. For ExtendAir eMIMO, two terminals are required to create a link. For ExpandAir, a single Hub radio and at least one Sub or ExtendAir eMIMO terminal configured as a Sub (Radio B) are required to create a link. Generally, ExpandAir networks have more than one Subscriber. Shipping Box Contents Each radio box contains the following items: • Radio terminal (ExtendAir eMIMO radios are configured as Radio B) • Mounting kit (for pole mounting) • Accessory kit – Grounding screw/washers – Weather-sealing tape (required for RF connectors on the rc models) • Registration card • Quick-start guide The power solution for ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series is sold separately. Any 802.3af compliant power-over-Ethernet solution may be used. 802.3at compatibility is also provided. Inspect the outer packaging and the contents of the boxes upon receipt. If you suspect any shipping damage or issues with the contents, contact Exalt Customer Care. Note: Register your system as soon as possible. Outdoor-rated and shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable, such as Beldon 1300A, with RJ-45 connectors is recommended for the Ethernet connections. For Ethernet connections, a maximum length of 100 meters applies to the total length of the cabling between the radio terminal and the first network-aware connection (such as a switch or router). 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios I nitial Configuration and Back-to-Back Bench Test Every Exalt digital microwave radio goes through extensive quality testing and performance evaluation over the full operating temperature range prior to shipment. However, before installation, it is strongly advised to perform several tests and tasks that are much more difficult to perform once the radio link endpoints are distant from one another. A back-to-back bench test and pre-configuration will provide confidence that the radio link is operational and properly configured prior to installation, so that if troubleshooting is necessary, the radio hardware and configuration settings are eliminated from the troubleshooting process. Verify the following in the back-to-back testing: • Confirm that the radio system is generally operational – Radios power-up with planned power and wiring solutions – Radio firmware version matches on each terminal (and is ideally the latest version) – Upgrade license key entry successful – RF link connects in both directions – Traffic passes across the link Note: Some countries require Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for certain frequency bands, which delays the transmitter turn-on time during the initial Channel Availability Check period of 1 minute. In accordance with these regulations, these radios boot up, and then wait 1 minute before linking. Changes to system parameters may cause additional Channel Availability Checks (CACs), causing an additional 1 minute wait-time to link after changes are made. • – Configure connected equipment and cabling – Test Ethernet (CAT5e or CAT6) cabling – Configure IP settings for configuration and management – Configure passwords and security modes – Become familiar with the configuration and management interfaces through the Exalt GUI interface – Configure radio parameters – Set transmitter output power to engineered or allowed level (see RF Output Power Setting) – Set operating center frequency – Set link distance and occupied channel bandwidth Make detailed radio performance measurements – Measure transmitter output power – Measure receiver threshold performance – Confirm unfaded error-free performance Some of these tasks may not be possible or practical within a bench test environment due to the nature of the remote connectivity of peripheral equipment. However, it is good practice to perform as much as possible in this environment to minimize field/installation time and troubleshooting efforts. Detailed performance measurements are usually not required for pre-installation, but can be easily performed at this stage and may be helpful for later troubleshooting efforts or for internal records. 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios During troubleshooting, there may often be a point at which a back-to-back bench test should be performed to verify many or all of the above items, and in the case of a suspected faulty device, to help confirm the fault and determine which end of the system is at fault and in need of repair or replacement. Note: See Back-to-back Bench Testing for detailed instructions. RF Output Pow er Setting The maximum RF output power is bounded by one of the following criteria: • Maximum RF output power setting capability of the radio device • Maximum RF output power allowed/authorized by the local government regulations and for this specific device • Maximum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of the transmission system allowed/ authorized by the local government regulations and for this specific device • Desired RSL to not exceed the maximum RSL allowed by the device • Desired RSL to minimize/eliminate interference into neighboring systems Note: In many cases the radio must be pre-configured for no greater than the legal maximum output power before connecting to the antenna and transmission system. Instructions for adjusting the output power can also be found at the rear of this guide in the EIRP section for your region. Time Division Duplex (TDD) Factors The ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios are very dynamic, allowing the installer to optimize and control the performance of the radio system for the intended application. The following parameters must be carefully determined during the link engineering phase: • Link distance • Bandwidth • Mode (modulation) • TDMA or CSMA operation • TDD Frame Size (if TDMA is selected) The setting of the above parameters determines the following performance factors: • Ethernet throughput • System latency (delay) The following generalizations can be made with regards to these factors: • The shorter the link distance, the lower the latency, the higher the throughput • The higher the bandwidth, the higher the capacity • The higher the mode, the higher the capacity • TDMA has predictable latency relative to the TDD Frame Size setting 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Link Orientation Link orientation refers to the Radio A and Radio B (Hub and Sub for ExpandAir) placement in your network. For every link, one end of the radio link must be configured as Radio A/Hub, while the other end is configured as Radio B/Sub. Radio Configuration Use the Exalt GUI to configure the radio terminals for Radio A/Hub and Radio B/Sub orientation. Since many other parameters also need to be set, and the Exalt GUI is needed for these configurations, this is the best way to completely configure the radio terminals. Except for ExpandAir Hubs, radios arrive from manufacture in default configuration, orientated as Radio B/Sub and configured as shown in Table 1. Table 1 Factory default settings Parameter ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Radio Settings Radio (RF) State Disabled Endpoint Identifier Radio B/Sub–except for ExpandAir Hubs Band/Frequencya • -A models: 5.8GHz ISM/5.745GHz • -E and -W models: 5.4GHz UNII-DFS/5.500GHz • -A models: 5MHz • -E and -W models: 20MHz Bandwidth Transmit Power Limit Disabled/25 dBm Link Distance 12.4 mi/20 km Link Security Key 000000000000 Administration Password password User Password password IP Address 10.0.0.1 IP Mask 255.255.255.0 IP Gateway 10.0.0.10 Access List Filtering Disabled Encryption Open (no security applied) a. If band is supported by the regulatory model; otherwise a different frequency may be the default setting. 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Note: In many cases, the system design will not be identical to the factory default configuration, and in some cases, these differences prohibit the installation of the radio. If at all possible, obtain a computer and configure the radio terminals using the browser-based GUI. See Configuration and Management for details. Reset to Default Settings If the IP address or password is lost or forgotten or a VLAN issue exists where access to the radio cannot be made, reset the radio to critical factory defaults. To reset the radio to factory settings: Remove the waterproof connector/gland/spacer assembly from the Sync In/Out port of the radio. Keep all pieces of this connector safe and secure (rubber gland, beveled washer, nut, spacer plug). If the Sync port was in use, remove the connected sync cable. Place the reset tool (an RJ-45 wired with pins 3 and 5 connected to each other and no other pins connected) into the Sync In/Out port of the radio. If already communicating to the radio GUI, navigate to the Shutdown page and click the Shutdown button Wait for 30 seconds before going on to the next step. Power cycle the radio using one of the following methods: a. Remove power at the PoE injector source b. Disconnect from the PoE injector or disconnect at the ETH1/PoE port Reconnect or reapply power. IMPORTANT! Ensure that proper and constant power is applied for the remainder of this process. Wait at least 20 seconds or until three short beeps occur. On any wait longer than 20 seconds, at approximately every 10 seconds thereafter, two short beeps sound. Remove the reset tool from the Sync In/Out port. Wait approximately 45 to 90 seconds or until one long beep occurs. Replace the waterproof connector/gland/spacer assembly in the Sync In/Out port or reconnect sync cable and tighten the connector assembly. Wait approximately 2 minutes from the time step 5 was completed. The following changes are made to the radio: • IP address = 10.0.0.1 • IP Mask = 255.255.255.0 • Admin and User passwords = password • All factory settings are configured The radio should be accessible using the above default access configurations and can be reprogrammed as necessary. 10 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios System I nstallation and I nitiation Process The tasks required for radio installation and initiation are outlined in the following figure.

Keep a record for each end of the radio link and store a copy of these records at the radio location, at the opposite end radio location, and a central record storage location. • GPS coordinates for antenna locations at each site • Antenna heights above ground level (AGL), as mounted • Antenna model numbers, serial numbers, and specifications • Antenna polarization as mounted • Length/type of primary transmission lines at each site • Model number and serial number of RF lightning arrestors • Length/type of secondary transmission line(s) • Transmitter output power setting as installed at each site • RSL as measured after antenna alignment at each site • Designed RSL per original design at each site • RSL reading with far-end power off (from each end) • Spectrum analyzer plot with far end off at each site • Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR)/return loss at radio’s antenna connector at each site • Radio’s network management IP address at each site • Radio’s network management gateway address at each site • Radio’s operating frequency, bandwidth setting, and mode of operation • Optionally purchased extended warranty and/or emergency service contract details In addition, certain information may be desired for central record-keeping only: • Link security codes and log in passwords (stored in a secure place) • Photographs of complete installation • End-user sign-off/acceptance documentation (if any) • Photo of product identification label (part number, serial number, MAC address information) • Electronic copy of radio’s configuration file • Electronic copy of radio’s installed software 12 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Installation This section presents all tasks required to install the Exalt Digital Microwave Radio. Mechanical Configuration and Mounting The ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series radios are environmentally sealed units intended for deployment outdoors. The device must be deployed within an ambient temperature range as specified, and with non-restrictive airflow around the chassis. The rc models can also be mounted in an enclosure or indoors. The same airflow and temperature conditions apply. All integrated antenna models can be mounted behind a window if window losses are considered in the link budget calculation. Note: Unless rated for outdoor use by the manufacturer, the power injector and power supply must be placed indoors or in an enclosure. Provide proper clearance for all cables and connectors attached to the device. Note that for the rc models, the RF cable connector may require significant clearance for the bend radius of the coaxial cable assembly. All RF connectors, cables, and adapters must be rated for operation within the radio’s frequency range. RF connector losses must be accounted for within the link engineering design and output power settings. Mounting the System Use the mounting system supplied with each terminal for pole mounting (Figure 4). The pole mounting kit for r-model radios accommodates a pole 1.5–3"/3.8–7.7cm in diameter; rc-model radios accommodate a pole 2-6"/5.1-15.2cm in diameter. Install the mounting system first, and then affix the radio to the mount. The radio can also be affixed to the mount, and the entire assembly (including radio) mounted. Figure 4 Pole-mount examples–r model at left; rc model at right For rc models, the mounting solution is a very simple single bracket, using pole-mounting band clamps accommodating 2–6"/5.1–15.2cm pole diameters. For integrated antenna models, it is critical to mount the entire device at the predetermined location for proper path clearance to the link end. Ensure that there is adequate space around the mounting system and the radio to allow for antenna alignment for both azimuth and elevation adjustments. Note: Mount the rc models as close as possible to the antenna to minimize the length and associated losses of RF cabling. 208363-009 2016-05-26 13 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Radio Ports and Indicators This section provides a brief overview of the connectors, controls, and indicators on the device.

Power The radio requires a 802.3af or 802.3at compliant PoE power source within specifications. Note: Read this section completely before applying power. Terminating the RF Connectors (rc models) Before applying power, the RF connectors must be properly terminated into a 50-Ohm load. If this is not performed, the radio may be damaged by simply applying power. Also, there are human safety factors to consider regarding potentially harmful RF radiation. The following lists a few simple ways to achieve proper termination: • Connect 50-Ohm coaxial termination devices to the RF ports of the radio. The terminations must be rated to 1W (or more). Example(s) include: – Broadwave Technologies P/N 552-200-002, or similar • Connect the complete transmission system. That is, the RF cabling including the antenna. The cabled antenna provides a proper termination for the RF output. • Connect a fixed (or a series of fixed) 50-Ohm attenuator(s) to the RF connectors, either directly or at the end of RF transmission lines. The attenuators must be at least 30dB as specified at the operating frequency and rated for a minimum of 1W input power. Examples include: – Broadwave Technologies P/N 352-103-xxx – Bird 2-A-MFN-xx – JFW Industries 50FP-xxx-H6-N 208363-009 2016-05-26 15 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios When installing outdoors, cover any unused connector with the connector cap and apply the weatherseal tape. Both cap and tape are included in the accessory kit. Ethernet Lightning/Surge Protection To provide for human safety and for the safety of connected network equipment, it is highly recommended to place a weatherproof lightning suppression device at the egress point where the CAT5e or CAT6 cable(s) enter the building, shelter, or cabinet. To protect the radio equipment, install a weatherproof lightning suppression device near the radio for all connected CAT5e or CAT6 cables. Any Ethernet surge protection device used for the PoE port must be rated for 802.3af use, and for 1000BaseT operation. For the ETH2 and ETH3 connections, any 100BaseT rated surge protection device can be used. Use a short CAT5e or CAT6 cable for the connection between the radio and the first arrestor. Use bulk outdoor-rated CAT5e or CAT6 cable for the longer run between arrestors, and indoor- or outdoor-rated cable with a standard CAT5e or CAT6 termination for the connection from the egress arrestor and power injector. Note: Use only outdoor-rated UV-resistant CAT5e or CAT6 cable. The cable that connects directly to the radio must have an outer diameter between 0.25"/6.35 mm and 0.31"/7.87mm. Belden 1300A is recommended. Securely hand-tighten all connectors on the ODU to ensure a weatherproof seal. Antenna/Transmission System This section provides guidance to mounting and connecting the RF transmission system, which consists of the antenna, RF cabling, and RF lightning arrestors. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for proper mounting, grounding, and wiring of these devices, and for definitive direction. These manufacturer’s instructions supersede any information in this section. See Table 7 and Table 6 for lists of supported antennas. Initial Antenna Mounting The antenna must be an exact model recommended by the path and site planning engineer(s). Mount the antenna at the proper height, mast/mounting location and polarization orientation as determined by the path and site planning engineer(s). The model type, location, and orientation of the antenna is critical with respect to achieving proper path clearance, as well as to mitigate external or selfinterference from nearby or collocated systems operating in or near the same frequency band. Warning! Mount the antenna in a restricted area and in a manner preventing long-term human exposure to the transmitted RF energy. To comply with FCC and Industry Canada regulations, the minimum safe distance from the antenna for continuous human exposure is 10'/3m. The antenna structure must be secure and safe with respect to the mounting of the antenna, transmission system weight, radio housing, and the combined weight of any personnel that may climb or attach to the structure. The combined weight of items and forces on the structure must be carefully considered in the design and construction of the structure. This must include the weight bearing on the structure in the highest wind conditions possible in the region, and with respect to all objects affixed to the structure. 16 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios If additional objects are affixed to the structure in the future, it may be important to evaluate both the mechanical impact of these planned additions (with respect to wind and weight loading), as well as the potential impact to RF interference and frequency coordination (if additional radio equipment is anticipated). This is especially important if future equipment is likely to operate within the same frequency band. Once the antenna is mounted, cabled, and aligned, your goal is to never require modification. This prior planning is important in the path and site planning stages and in construction of the antenna structure. Follow the antenna manufacturer’s instructions for mechanical mounting of the antenna. Ensure that there is enough room around the antenna for alignment activities (moving the antenna in vertical and horizontal arcs), and for the RF transmission line to connect to the antenna connector unobstructed and within the specified bend radius requirements of the transmission line. At this point, the antenna mounts should be fully secure to the structure, the feed of the antenna securely mounted to the antenna (if the feed is a separate assembly), and the azimuth and elevation adjustments not completely tightened in preparation of the antenna alignment activity. It is a good practice to connect the transmission line to the antenna connector as early in the process as possible, to reduce the opportunity for debris or moisture to enter either the antenna connector or the transmission line connector. Use a connector cover or other temporary measures to ensure that the connector is kept clear. Take extra care if the antenna is installed during inclement weather to ensure that no moisture gets inside the antenna connector at any time. Now the antenna can be aimed in the general direction required for the link. Use a compass, a reference bearing, binoculars or any other similar device to point the antenna in the direction (generally) of the far end radio, and then slightly tighten the azimuth and elevation adjustments so that the antenna maintains its general position and is safe to be left without additional securing. Refer to the Exalt white paper, Antenna Alignment, for more information on antenna alignment techniques. Transmission Line from Antenna to Radio Most installations use a very short length of coaxial transmission line for the connection between the antenna and the radio device. Coaxial transmission line can either have a solid or braided shield. Solidshield cables are more resistant to external signal coupling and interference, but are generally stiffer than braided cables. Consult the path or site engineer(s) to ensure that the proper materials are chosen for the installation and that all factors were considered. Generally, the larger the diameter of the transmission line, the lower the loss. So for longer runs of transmission line, larger diameter cables are highly advised. However, at every frequency, there is a maximum diameter cable that supports the operating frequency. Verify the specifications. This is determined in the path and site planning process. Table 4 lists representative samples of transmission line types recommended for the Exalt Digital Microwave Radio. 208363-009 2016-05-26 17 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Table 4 Recommended transmission line Manufacturer Type Description Loss at 4.9GHz Loss at 5.3GHz Loss at 5.8GHz Andrew LDF4-50 1/2-inch solid shield 5.6dB/100' 5.7dB/100' 6.0dB/100' Andrew LDF4.5-50 5/8-inch solid shield N/A 4.4dB/100' 4.7dB/100' Times LMR-600 1/2-inch braided shield 6.8dB/100' 6.9dB/100' 7.3dB/100' Times LMR-900 5/8-inch braided shield N/A 4.6dB/100' 4.9dB/100' RFS LCF12-50J 1/2-inch solid shield 5.5dB/100' 5.6dB/100' 5.9dB/100' RFS LCF12-58J 5/8-inch solid shield N/A 4.5dB/100' 4.8dB/100' It is critical that the transmission line and antenna be capable of supporting the same type of connector, or easily adapted. It can be important to minimize the number of connectors and adapters, and it is ideal that they match directly without adaptation. In most cases, transmission line allows for N-type male connectors and antennas have N-type female connectors. If possible, connect the primary transmission line directly to the antenna. It is desired to have the fewest possible pieces of transmission line in the system, to minimize losses and points of failure from connectors. The antenna can typically accommodate a direct connection if planned in advance. Use a 90º adapter for the connection to the antenna, if necessary, but confirm that all connectors and transmission lines are properly specified for the operating frequency with minimum loss, proper impedance (50 Ohm) and proper VSWR characteristics. Transmission line connector termination is a critical element of the installation. Many ‘factory built’ RF transmission lines do not provide the proper characteristics for proper transmission, despite their published specifications, often due to the fully or semi-automated process of factory termination, which may not have considered the frequency of your system. When buying pre-terminated transmission line, it is strongly advised to obtain the documentation of test measurements on the connected transmission line showing that the loss characteristics and VSWR are within the specified limits specifically at your operating frequency. In addition to factory-built transmission line, selfterminated transmission line can suffer the same issues. Caution: Always follow the manufacturer’s termination process EXACTLY, and only use the manufacturer’s authorized tools and connectors for a given transmission line type. The manufacturers of transmission line typically offer instruction and certification for transmission line termination, and may also provide videos illustrating the process. There is no amount of extra care, education, precision, and effort that can be overstated for this process. There is often a need for a small excess of transmission line near the antenna to accommodate both the need for extra slack as the antenna is loosened and moved for the alignment process, and to accommodate a drip loop for the transmission line and the initial transmission line securing hardware and grounding near the antenna. In addition, the transmission line is typically very stiff, and can provide undue pulling force on the antenna or radio connector. Take care to align the cable with the connector so that it does not provide any torque or strain on the connector. Consult your transmission line manufacturer for the proper transportation, hoisting, securing, and grounding process. Always be very mindful of the entire length of transmission line to ensure that the transmission line is never twisted, kinked, or over-bent beyond the specified bend radius. Once a 18 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios transmission line is over-bent or kinked, it will likely never recover its specified characteristics, even after straightening, and will often be completely unusable. The opposite end of this primary transmission line typically terminates at the radio connector. If using a long transmission line (in excess of 3'/1m), an RF lightning arrestor is recommended to protect the radio equipment. As soon as practical, weatherproof the connected ends of the transmission line to the antenna and lightning arrestor and radio. This process should be delayed as long as possible to ensure that all systems are working properly before applying the weatherproofing. Once weatherproofing is applied, it may have to be removed for testing or installation modification. With this in mind, if the installation is occurring during inclement weather, take extra care at all times to ensure that no moisture enters any connector at any time. If moisture is suspected to have compromised the antenna or transmission line, it may render those devices useless without any means for remedy except for full replacement. Cap and weatherproof the second antenna connector on the radio if using a single-polarity antenna. Indoor Mounting On rare occasions the antenna can be mounted indoors behind a window. In these cases, there would not be a need for drip loops or an RF lightning arrestor. Use a very short transmission line connected directly between the antenna and the radio mounted nearby. The weatherproofing process can also be omitted. RF Lightning Arrestor RF lightning arrestors provide a direct path to ground for lightning strikes that may couple to or directly hit the outdoor transmission system or antenna structure. The RF lightning arrestor prevents any associated voltage and current from entering the radio equipment, other equipment, or humans. The following lightning arrestors are examples of proper devices for Exalt Digital Microwave Radios: • Polyphaser AL-LSXM • Citel PRC5800 Mount and ground the RF lightning arrestor in accordance to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Place it as close as possible to the radio equipment. Minimize the distance to the radio to lessen the opportunity for lightning to couple to or strike the unprotected section of transmission line (if any). Consult a qualified electrician or installer in all cases of grounding and lightning arrestor implementation. Antenna Alignment Antennas must be installed at both ends of the planned link to commence precision alignment. Refer to the Exalt white paper, Antenna Alignment. Antennas are typically aligned using the radio hardware for precise alignment. However, there are many very useful tools available to aid in this process, inclusive of devices specifically designed for the purpose of aligning antennas. Some examples are: • XL Microwave Path Align-R • Teletronics 17-402 Use of these devices may be extremely advantageous as compared to using the radio, because they employ many unique facilities to aid in this process. Using these tools also makes it possible to align the antennas before the radio equipment is delivered. However, many installers successfully use the radios as the means for antenna alignment. 208363-009 2016-05-26 19 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Antennas must be installed at both ends of the planned link to commence precision alignment. Refer to the Exalt white paper, Antenna Alignment. Antennas are typically aligned using the internal alignment buzzer and the RSL value reported on the radio GUI. Configure one side of the link as Radio A/Hub and the other side as Radio B/Sub, with the desired link frequency and Bandwidth setting at both ends, and the maximum transmit power allowed. Enable Radio A/Hub with the Radio (RF) State parameter enabled on the System Configuration Page. Enable Radio B/Sub and enter the RF MAC Address of Radio A/Hub on the Antenna Alignment Settings Page of the GUI. The RF MAC Address of each radio is located on the Radio Information Page. Coarse align antennas at both ends using compass bearings and/or a local landmark on the path. For ExpandAir Hubs, align in accordance to the coverage area azimuth and elevation plan based on the original engineering design. Use a distant landmark for azimuth alignment. Use the elevation markers on the mounting bracket for the integrated radio, or the mounting system for the remote antenna. For remote antenna elevation alignment, use a level or inclinometer to properly set elevation. Click Start Alignment on Radio B/Sub. The alignment buzzer sounds. When the alignment buzzer is enabled, the radio enclosure emits a sound. The beeps get more rapid as better levels of RSL are achieved. Align the antennas until the fastest beeps are accomplished. The beep interval is once per 3 seconds if the far-end RF MAC Address is not found. Once the far-end is acquired, the beep interval starts at one beep per second and once the far-end is acquired, becomes a more rapid beep from –95 to –53 dBm. Above –53 dBm, the beep is continuous. Adjust the azimuth and elevation of the Radio B/Sub antenna until it aligned and has the best possible RSL. RSL (RSSI) is reported on the Antenna Alignment page, to the right of the RF MAC Address entry. Lightly tighten the antenna adjustment mechanics. After Radio B/Sub is aligned as best as possible, for ExtendAir eMIMO, enable alignment on the Radio A side, enable Access List Filtering and enter the far-end RF MAC Address. For ExpandAir models, check the Alignment RSL on the Hub for record-keeping and any minor adjustments needed for proper coverage. The Hub antenna may need to be realigned when Subs are added to the network. Subs will not need to be realigned unless significant changes are made to the elevation angle of the Hub. Subs further toward the edge of coverage (range or azimuth) may require realignment to maximize performance. Repeat this procedure to align Radio A/Hub. Alignment should be optimized at both ends, one side at a time, back and forth, until the target RSL is achieved, as indicated on the Performance Page. 10 After the designed RSL is achieved, mechanically secure the antenna for azimuth and elevation alignment. Carefully monitor the RSL level while tightening the mechanics, and ensure that the antenna remains in alignment. 11 Disable Antenna Alignment on both ends of the link once alignment is completed. 20 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Configuration and Management The Exalt GUI is the primary user interface for configuring and troubleshooting the radio and radio system. A computer or hand-held device with a conventional HTML browser and Ethernet port is required. Microsoft Internet Explorer is the preferred browser. Firefox, Chrome and Safari are also supported. Prepare to Connect Except for ExpandAir Hub radios, new radios are preconfigured as Radio B/Sub, and have the same IP address. The initial priority is to configure one radio to Radio A and assign different IP addresses, unique to each radio. There are two ways to change the IP address: Reset the radio to the critical default factory settings. IMPORTANT! If a reboot is prompted during the radio reset, ensure that proper and constant power is applied during the entire reboot process. Connect to the GUI using the default IP address (10.0.0.1), and change the IP address through the GUI interface. Note: To connect to the radio’s Ethernet port and use the GUI interface, the accessing computer must match the radio’s IP address subnet. It is therefore necessary to change the computer’s IP address to match the subnet of the radio (such as, a computer IP address of 10.0.0.10 if trying to connect to a radio set to the factory default IP address of 10.0.0.1). To configure a radio as Radio A, connect to the GUI and change the configuration, as discussed in this section. Make Connections It is recommended that one radio at a time be configured, on a bench, before taking the radios to the field for installation: • For models with RF connectors, terminate the RF connectors with a 50-Ohm termination or a fixed attenuator of at least 30dB (see Power). Note: Do not initially connect the radios in a back-to-back configuration. If the radios are set to their factory default settings, both radios are configured as Radio B/Sub and cannot communicate. Both radios also have the same IP address, which causes IP address conflicts Once connected to the radio using Ethernet, log in to the Exalt GUI. Log I n Use the following steps to log in to the Exalt GUI. Open a browser window. Microsoft Internet Explorer is the recommended browser. Firefox, Chrome, and Safari are also supported. If there are issues with your browser, please report it to Exalt Customer Care. You may be required to use a different browser to immediately overcome issues. Type the IP address of the radio in the address bar. 208363-009 2016-05-26 21 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Figure 6 Initiating the browser connection The following window displays after pressing the Enter key or clicking the Go button in the browser window.

Use the steps in the Quick Start Guide included with the radio. A summary of the items that need to be configured are: • Radio IP address for each end. – Each end must have a different IP address and cannot match the accessing computer’s IP address or any address assigned if radios are part of a larger network. – It may be required to change the IP address of the accessing computer after changing the IP address of the radio so that the IP subnet matches. – The radio IP address is listed on the Administration Settings Page. One radio must be configured as Radio A (or Hub) and the other as Radio B (or Sub). Radio RF State must be enabled. All configuration settings on the System Configuration Page must match. If all other parameters are still configured at their factory default settings, the radios can now be connected back-to-back to verify that the link is communicating and perform any other desired tests. See Back-to-back Bench Testing for test information. Note: Click the Save button to save changes on any page. Also on all pages until saved, changed fields display with an orange background. Most configuration parameter settings are intuitive.

The following lists unique or important parameters. • Disable the Radio (RF) State parameter to stop transmitting to the far-end radio. • Set the Endpoint Identifier parameter to either Radio A/Hub or Radio B/Sub. One end of the link must be Radio A/Hub and the other end must be Radio B/Sub. For ExpandAir, there can be up to 16 subscribers per Hub. 34 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Compatibility details: • ExpandAir Hubs can be configured as any type of terminal (Hub, Sub, or PTP terminal endpoint A or B). • ExtendAir eMIMO terminals can be configured as Subs (by configuring Radio B) in an ExpandAir network. • ExpandAir Subs can only be configured as Subs and cannot be used in PTP configuration ExtendAir eMIMO networks. • (-W models only) Set the Country Code parameter to the country where the radio is deployed. • Select the desired frequency Band. The available bands are related to the selected country code (-W models only). Note: 4.9GHz band operation is restricted in most countries to Government or Public Safety use, and is only available on -A models. Consult with local regulatory restrictions prior to operating in this band. • Select the RF Frequency to match at both ends. If desired, instead of selecting a specific frequency, you can select AUTO to scan the selected band to identify the frequency with the least noise or interference. Some bands also require Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS). DFS is automatically enabled for these bands and is selectable for all other bands. Radio B/Sub radios always search for Radio A/Hub radios. 208363-009 2016-05-26 35 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Note: With AUTO selected, the link scans and a new frequency may be selected every time the link is re-established due to certain configuration changes or reboot. • QoS select to enable Quality of Service on the radio. QoS is a network prioritizing feature that ensures high-priority traffic transfers during peak capacity demands. The priority hierarchy is adhered to when capacity demand is higher than the link can provide; highest priority traffic is allowed to transfer, while lowest priority traffic may be dropped. This parameter must match at both ends of the link. QoS complies with 802.1p and IPv4 ToS/Diffserv. • Select the Bandwidth parameter as determined in the design/engineering stage. This parameter must match at both ends of the link. Note: Changing the System Configuration parameters will temporarily interrupt traffic. Adjust the far-end radio first, and then the near-end radio. Changing Bandwidth changes the radio’s threshold. A narrower bandwidth has better threshold performance and improved interference immunity, therefore if changing to a wider bandwidth, there is an opportunity that the link may be lost and unrecoverable through GUI control. Check the available fade margin to determine if the impact to threshold and increased bandwidth is acceptable to maintain the link and the desired performance. If the link is lost due to increasing the Bandwidth parameter, travel to the radio location(s) may be required to reset the value. If DFS is enabled or enforced by the country configuration, the interruption will be a minimum of one minute to accommodate Channel Availability Check (CAC). • Set the Effective Antenna Gain parameter to match the installed transmission system gain (that is, the gain of the antenna minus all losses between the radio and the antenna). • Set the Transmit Power Limit parameter to the designed level (dBm). The professional installer sets this value or dictates the value of this setting to the system administrator following the system design and local regulations. In many cases, this value must be set to a proper value to comply with legal restrictions. Improper values can result in liability to the user and/or installer. – Do not adjust the Radio Transmit Power Limit parameter to a value higher than is legally allowed. Note: The link may be lost and unrecoverable through GUI control. If the link is lost due to reduction of Radio Transmit Power, travel to the radio location(s) may be required to reset the value. • Set the Link Distance parameter to optimize radio performance for the maximum link distance. Shorter distances provide better reaction times for error packet retransmissions, which allows better throughput (given the same RSL level). Note: Do not select a range less than the actual link distance. This will cause failure and collisions on transmission between the radios. The distance setting is not required for Radio B/Sub implementations. Note: Link Distance options are tied to other settings (such as TDD Frame Size). Only settings based on the combination of other settings are available. • 36 For Radio A/Hub, set the Access Protocol parameter to CSMA or TDMA. Select TDMA to provide predictable, but not best-effort, throughput and latency. 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios When TDMA is selected, the Radio Collocation, TDD Frame Size, and Tx/Rx Throughput Ratio options are available and must be configured. • For Radio A/Hub, use Radio Collocation when there is more than one ExpandAir Hub or ExtendAir eMIMO Radio A terminal at the same location operating in the same frequency band, or if an ExpandAir Hub is collocated with an ExtendAir radio in the same frequency band. Collocation Sync ensures that local radios transmit and receive simultaneously to eliminate local interference from local transmitters into local receivers. The available options define the clocking source for collocated Hubs in TDMA mode. All radios in a collocation set have the same TDD Frame Size and same Throughput Ratio. The following options are available when the Radio Collocation option is selected: – No Sync Source allows the Hub or PTP link to run on its own clock. Select this option where TDMA is desired for Subscriber capacity allocation and/or latency control and there is only one Hub radio or PTP link and no collocation, or when collocated radios are operating with significant frequency separation and/or physical separation where separation eliminates the possibility of near-field interference of local transmit signals into local receive cycles. – Use the Sync Recipient option to allow either a Hub or the Radio A end of a PTP link to synchronize to another Hub or the Radio A end of a PTP link, other Exalt radio sync output, or when it is the last radio in a collocation set. – Use the Sync Recipeient+Relay option when the radio is part of a collocation set and connected to an Exalt 4-port collocation kit, but is NOT the first or last radio in that collocation set. The relay function carries the clock source through to the next radio in the collocation set. – Use the Sync Source option when the radio is the source of synchronization for another Exalt radio sync input, including when it is the first radio in a collocation set. • For Radio A/Hub, set the TDD Frame Size when TDMA is selected to control Hub-to-Sub connection latency or PTP radio latency, which impacts capacity. The options are 2, 4, or 5 milliseconds. The higher the TDD Frame Size, the higher the connection capacity, but the longer the latency. All synchronized collocated radios must have the same TDD Frame Size setting. • For Radio A/Hub, set the Tx/Rx Throughput Ratio when TDMA is selected to control the ratio of throughput from outbound (transmit) traffic (Hub-to-Sub or Radio A to Radio B) versus inbound (receive) traffic (Sub-to-Hub). A common setting is a 50/50 ratio for equivalent Outbound-to-Inbound traffic, but can be set to 65/ 35 or 80/20 in either direction. – 80/20 settings are only available with a TDD Frame Size of 5ms. – 65/35 settings are supported with all TDD Frame Size settings. – There are bandwidth setting restrictions for certain combinations where narrow a bandwidth setting (such as 5MHz) is not allowed. • RSL Threshold applies to all radio implementations, except Hubs. This field sets the level at which an RSL Threshold Alarm (Trap) occurs (if the incoming signal level falls below this value) and the level to clear the alarm (Trap) with the Normal setting. For Hubs, the RSL Threshold alarm points are managed on the Access Control List Page. • PER (Packet Error Rate) High Threshold allows you to set specific network operational requirements. The selected value applies to the PER alarm (Trap). 208363-009 2016-05-26 37 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Ethernet Page There are two sections to this page. The first is for Ethernet Administration State. In this section, the administrator can selectively enable or disable the ETH2 and/or ETH3 ports of the radio. ETH1/PoE is always enabled and should be used for primary radio traffic and management if only one port is enabled. Figure 18 Ethernet page The lower portion of this page allows you to configure port allocations for in-band or out-of-band management. The default setting is in-band management (management and traffic is carried over the air and available from all enabled Ethernet connectors on either end of the link) or out-of-band (management traffic is not carried over the air and only available from the connectors designated for management, and traffic is independently carried on port(s) designated for traffic). ETH1 is the PoE port and is a Gigabit Ethernet port. ETH2 and ETH3 are 100BaseT ports and do not support PoE. Note: For out-of-band management configurations, due to the difference between Gigabit Ethernet and 100BaseT support on the interfaces, most users will configure the ETH1/PoE port as the traffic port and ETH2/ETH3 port(s) as management ports. 38 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Figure 19 ExpandAir In-band Management Configuration The link can be configured in mixed mode, where one side of the link has in-band management and the other side uses out-of-band management. Figure 20 shows supported band management configurations. 208363-009 2016-05-26 39 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Figure 20 Band management example The management function of each port can be assigned as: • 40 In-Band Management (Figure 19) – All ports can pass traffic over the link and also have access to management of the radio. Management traffic is carried over the link. In Figure 19, all interfaces are set to their default values of Traffic+Mgmt. 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Figure 21 ExpandAir Out-of-band Management Configuration • Out-of-band Management – Each port can be set to either Traffic or Management. All ports set to traffic are connected together and pass traffic over the link, and all ports set to management are connected together, but separated from the traffic and do not go over the link. Management is not available over the wireless link in this configuration (unless externally switched or routed to a Traffic port). Note: The radio requires that a minimum of one interface have access to management (by setting to Mgmt or Traffic+Mgmt). 208363-009 2016-05-26 41 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Access Control List Page This page allows you to associate either or both ends of the radio link based on the MAC address of the far-end partner. For ExpandAir Hubs, this allows user-assigned names applied to each subscriber, and setting of the RSL Alarm and Normal Threshold for each subscriber, similar to this functionality on the System Configuration Page for Sub or Term A/B configurations. For Hub configurations, you can assign each subscriber for Monitoring or No Monitoring. This determines the overall far-end alarm status of the Hub. Figure 22 Access Control List page–ExtendAir Hub model If Access List Filtering is enabled, the Hub (Term-RadioA) only associates with Subscribers that match the configured MAC addresses. The Terminal A configuration only provides one line for the remote RF MAC Address entry for Terminal B. The threshold settings for Radio A are on the System Configuration Page. 42 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Figure 23 Access Control List–ExpandAir Sub model Note: For Subs (Term-RadioB), the Access List Filtering enable/disable option is not available; it is recommended that you enter the far-end RF MAC address in this field. 208363-009 2016-05-26 43 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios VLAN Configuration Page VLAN is disabled as the default setting for Exalt radios. Exalt radios still pass VLAN and non-VLAN traffic across the link, but do not examine the VLAN traffic or act upon it. When VLAN is disabled, management access to the radio is untagged. Enable VLAN using the Exalt GUI for expanded VLAN support. Figure 24 VLAN Configuration page Note: All VLAN tagging is in reference to 802.1q VLAN ID and only the outer tag. There are two primary VLAN settings: Management-Only and VLAN Ingress Filtering. • 44 Management-Only VLAN support for access to the radio’s management interface on a designated VLAN ID. All other traffic is transparent. For this configuration, select Enable (MGMT ONLY) and enter the desired VLAN ID to manage the VLAN Membership table (on the row labeled Mgmt). Click Update to save changes. When enabled, untagged management access is lost to the radio and management is only available on the management VLAN ID (VID), and only on ports that are designated for management on the Ethernet Page. All other entries in the VLAN 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Membership table are ignored. The values in the Port Ingress/Egress Configuration table remain configurable. • VLAN Ingress Filtering: Enabling VLAN allows the administrator to create lists of VLANs that are allowed to pass on each interface and a VLAN ID for management access to the radio. Up to 32 VLAN IDs can be listed for ETH1, and an additional 32 VLAN IDs are allowed for ETH2/ETH3 combination. Separate VLAN IDs using commas (for example, 100,250,1045,10); you can also use ranges (for example, 1-5,8,250). If either interface entry table is left blank, then the default VLAN set in this table can ingress the interface. If either list is populated with one or more IDs, the default VLAN entry is ignored. The VLAN ID used for management does not need to be entered into the Membership entry for ETH1 or ETH2/3. Radio VLAN capabilities are extended to include tagged and untagged packet handling, along with Retag (Swap) capabilities. • Untagged Packet Handling on Ingress: When VLAN is enabled for ETH1 and ETH2/3 independently, the administrator can choose how to handle untagged packets that arrive at the radio input that are to be transmitted to the far-end (Ingress packets). These packets can be passed (Allow Untagged), dropped (Drop Untagged), or tagged (Tag Untagged). If tagged, enter the desired tag value at the right of the selection. This can be a different value for ETH1 as compared to ETH2/3, and also does not have to match the default. This tag does not impact the management VLAN ID (if there is one). If management VLAN is untagged, it is forced to set the Ingress and Egress options to Allow Untagged. • Egress Packet Handling: This is for packets coming from the far-end and exiting the radio (Egress packets). You can allow untagged packets to exit the radio or drop untagged packets; tag untagged packets with the specified tag or untag all tagged packets. Ensure that you carefully coordinate this setting with the Ingress setting on the opposite end. For example, if you opt to drop untagged traffic on Ingress for the far-end radio, it does not matter if you select to drop, pass, or tag untagged packets; there will be no untagged packets. If you want to drop untagged packets, do this at the Ingress so that they do not take up link capacity only to be dropped on the other end. If a management VLAN ID is defined, it is not untagged when Tag Untagged is selected. 208363-009 2016-05-26 45 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios • • 46 Retag Tagged packets on Egress: This ensures that all tagged packets arriving from the far-end are unified in a new tag with a specified value. – If a management VLAN ID is defined, it is not retagged. – If management VLAN is untagged and configured for in-band management, you must select Allow Untagged for both Ingress and Egress. – Any VLAN tagged user traffic is dropped if that VLAN ID is not included in the VLAN Membership configuration for the Egress port. 802.1Q Retag Ingress Options: Enter the VLAN ID to replace on ingress, and provide input to the new VLAN ID. 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Antenna Alignment Settings Page This page aids with antenna alignment. Figure 25 Antenna Alignment Settings page–ExtendAir model Input the RF MAC address of the peer radio, which can be found on the Radio Information Page. This is mandatory for Radio B/Sub and optional for Radio A/Hub. Click Alignment Start to initiate alignment. Audio beeps indicate the received signal level. The RSSI displays when signal level is present. Click Alignment Stop when you are satisfied with antenna alignment. The beep period is approximately once every 3 seconds when the radio link is not acquired. Once the link is acquired, the period shortens to 1 beep per second. The beep period gets shorter until it is nearly constant as RSL increases. The precise RSL is available within the GUI shown on this page and on the Performance Page. Disable antenna alignment at both ends of the link once alignment is complete. Traffic can pass across the link while alignment is enabled (if the link is acquired), allowing you to manage the far-end radio from the near-end. However, when the alignment feature is enabled radio throughput is significantly diminished. 208363-009 2016-05-26 47 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Radio Default Page Click the radio default button to reset the radio configuration parameters to the factory default settings. Note: This brings the link down. Figure 26 Radio Default page 48 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Performance Page This page provides statistical information about the performance of the system in relation to the integrity of the user data and the RF link. This page is convenient for reviewing radio configuration and general performance. Figure 27 Performance page–ExtendAir Term-RadioB/Sub model • The Radio (RF) State field indicates the current setting for Radio (RF) state, as set on the System Configuration screen. • The Endpoint Identifier field indicates which mode the radio is in: Radio A/Hub or Radio B/Sub. • The Radio Freq field is the frequency setting made on the System Configuration page or the present tuned center frequency if in AUTO mode or if the radio is a Radio B/Sub. • The Transmit Power field lists the current transmit output. • The Link Quality field is an index, where 94 is the best link quality and the first number represents the measured value of this index. A low number may indicate issues with high noise, low RSL, or other issues causing poor or errored reception. • The Noise Level field displays the noise interference (dBm) detected in the link at the current frequency and bandwidth setting. • The Far End Radio MAC entry lists the RF MAC address of far-end radio connected to this radio when the link is connected. • The Received Signal Level (RSL) field indicates the present received level in dBm. This is helpful to compare to the installed value to see if signal level is changing from original implementation. 208363-009 2016-05-26 49 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Radio Collocation Fields Figure 28 Radio Collocation pane–RadioB/Sub For a RadioB/Sub, the settings information related to the access protocol settings display (Figure 28).

This is helpful for troubleshooting (such as detection of a bad connector/crimp or cable). Figure 30 Ethernet Negotiation State page Ensure that ETH1 negotiates at 1000BaseT/Full Duplex; ETH 2 and ETH 3 if in use, negotiate at 100BaseT/Full Duplex. 208363-009 2016-05-26 51 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Subscriber Page–Hub models only For ExpandAir radios configured as Hub, this page lists Subscriber information and allows you to add Subscribers (16 maximum). Figure 31 Subscribers page–ExpandAir Hub models only As new subscribers associate with the Hub, their RF MAC addresses display on this page. This is only if Subscribers have the proper Link Security setting and other System parameters match as required to allow association. Click the Add button to apply a human-readable name to the Subscriber to better track Subs in your network. Up to 16 Subs can associate with a Hub. 52 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Metrics – Link Statistics and Radio I nterface Statistics Page The Metrics page lists link and radio interface statistics. Figure 32 Metrics page–ExtendAir RadioA/Hub model 208363-009 2016-05-26 53 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios The link statistics listed are: • Rx packets: The number of data packets received into the interface mentioned in the column • Rx packets errors: The number of data packet errors into the interface mentioned in the column • Rx packets dropped: The number of data packets dropped into the interface mentioned in the column • Rx bytes: The number of data bytes received into the interface mentioned in the column • Tx packets: The number of data packets transmitted out of the interface mentioned in the column • Tx packets errors: The number of transmit data packet errors out of the interface mentioned in the column • Tx packets dropped: The number of transmit data packets dropped out of the interface mentioned in the column • Tx bytes: The number of data bytes transmitted out of the interface mentioned in the column The radio interface statistics are radio packets, not equivalent to Ethernet packets, as follows: • Header Collisions Detected (total over the last 60 seconds) • Packet Collisions Detected (total over the last 60 seconds) • Keep Alive Sent/Received The radio interface counters count radio packets, not equivalent to Ethernet packets, as follows: • Packets sent on radio interface (out of radio) • Packets received on radio interface (into the radio) • Retry count of packets sent on the radio interface • Error count of packets sent on the radio interface • Retry Rate • Packet Error Rate Modulation/Rate counters indicate the modulation level, counting packets based on the modulation and MIMO state (1x1 or 2x2). 2x2 MIMO results in higher capacity than 1x1 MIMO and higher modulation (for example, 64QAM versus BPSK) results in higher capacity. An unfaded, unobstructed link operating with sufficient signal-to-noise ratio runs at 64QAM 2x2 MIMO, which is the highest capacity. View the counters for each state to evaluate the health of the link and determine the settings where most of the traffic is passing. 54 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios • (ExpandAir Hub) Subscriber counters in both counter tables can be viewed, one at a time, by selecting them from this drop-down menu in the lower portion of the Radio Interface Counters section. The Clear Counters button restarts the bottom two tables at zero. It does not clear the statistics tables. 208363-009 2016-05-26 55 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios DFS Page DFS status displays on this page. DFS is automatically enabled for any band where required based on regulation. For bands where DFS is not required, it can still be selected. For DFS to operate properly, set the antenna gain figure to match the installed transmission system gain (that is, the gain of the antenna minus all losses between the radio and the antenna). Figure 33 DFS page–ExpandAir model When DFS is enabled, the radio temporarily stops transmitting for at least 60 seconds to ensure that no radar interference is present. This is called Channel Availability Check (CAC). Once CAC passes, the radio resumes normal operation. If at any time during CAC or regular operation a qualifying radar signature is detected, the radio shuts down communications on that channel for a minimum of 30 minutes. The radio then moves to an available channel, and the restores the link after the CAC period (that is, 60 seconds if no radar signature is detected on the channel). This is the Non-Occupancy Period (NOP). Transmission only resumes after the NOP completes and then only after a successful CAC. As shown below, ExpandAir models configured as Hubs display all frequencies not allowed due to DFS, and list them in accordance to the different subscribers based on their RF MAC addresses, and by the time remaining until that frequency can be tried again. PTP radios (eMIMO) display only one list of frequencies from either end. This difference is because the frequencies found may be blocked by specific subscribers. 56 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios 208363-009 2016-05-26 57 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Event Log Page The event log tracks configuration changes and alarm state changes up to the last 1000 entries. You can download the log as a .csv file from the File Management Page. Figure 34 Event Log page Apply filters to ascertain alarm severity levels. If an NTP server is configured, the date and timestamp that display in the Event Log is retrieved from the NTP server. If NTP is not configured, the radio tracks elapsed time. Enable NTP for accurate troubleshooting using the Event Log (see NTP and Time Zone Page). 58 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Spectrum Analyzer Page The spectrum analyzer feature provides a useful pre-planning and troubleshooting tool. Perform a spectrum analysis after deployment and just before commissioning to maintain a record of the spectrum at the time of deployment. Note: The radio link is out of service during scans. Click the Cancel button to stop the spectrum analysis at any time. The link restores shortly after the analysis stops. Figure 35 Spectrum Analyzer page Perform a spectrum analysis to evaluate interfering signals coming into the antenna interface from the end of the link that is being analyzed. The spectrum analyzer uses tune-and-dwell across the active band that is active, using a 20MHz tuning channel. The active band is determined by the current frequency band setting selected on the System Configuration Page, or can be determined on the Performance Page. The selected band and the current frequency also display on this page. Note: The frequency does not display properly when the radio is set to AUTO frequency. You can set the spectrum analyzer for either Average or Peak detection: • Average measures the average power spectral density (dBm/subcarrier or dBm/RBW). 208363-009 2016-05-26 59 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios • Peak measures the peak power during the scan duration of each channel. The sampling rate is ~140Hz. Before you change the detection mode, click the Clear RSL button so that results from previous scans using an alternate detection scheme are not combined with the newly selected detection scheme. • Scan Time is the total amount of time for the scan. This measurement quickly tunes, dwells and measures across the band. In most cases, a scan results in multiple visits to each frequency. It is recommended to scan for as long as possible so that all interference sources that may be intermittent and/or moving in frequency are caught by the analysis. The actual scan time can exceed the selected scan time by as much as 2 minutes. This is to meet minimum dwell time and computational requirements. Note: If you after select a 4-hour scan time, a false warning displays that the link will not come back up. Ignore this warning. Also, if you visit another page while a scan is running, when you return the values shown are at the default and not at your last-specified setting. As the scan moves from step to step, the last-step graph displays. Historical scans are saved until you select Clear RSL is selected or power is lost or any reboot. The Scan Duration indicates the current amount of time the present scan has taken or the total time of the last scan that completed. The display shows red, green, or gray markings to show High, Current (Last), or Low readings, respectively. These values are based on the measurements of all scans performed since the last Clear RSL or reboot/power cycle. If only one scan has run, all markings are usually green as they are the last and most current measurement. On successive scans, green indicates the latest scan, and red and gray indicate high and low values of all completed scans. If the values have not changed, the colors may lie on top of each other. The noise floor line indicates the noise level measured at the current frequency channel (shown in the Operational Frequency field). You can opt to do a single-sweep scan if there is not enough time to perform a multi-sweep scan. Results are less accurate if there are any intermittent interference sources. Figure 36 shows an example scan result. 60 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Figure 36 Spectrum Analyzer example The Classified Strongest Interference Source(s) table at the bottom is helpful to identify the total power measured every 20MHz steps across the band and further evaluate interference potential and compare to the link RSL. If the type of signal can be identified, this is also provided. Common classifications are: • CW (continuous wave) 208363-009 2016-05-26 61 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios • WiFi (pulsed emission) • FHSS (frequency hopping spread spectrum). Pointers are available when you roll your cursor over the chart. The values at the cursor position list on the chart. This allows more precise measurement than comparing the X and Y axis. For Hubs, if the radio is linked to any Subs, the far-end transmitters of those Subs is turned OFF during the scan; however, when initiating a scan on the Sub radio or on terminals configured as Radio B in an ExpandAir network, the far-end transmitter of the Hub is ON during scans. If you want to turn off the Hub transmitter, disable RF on the System Configuration Page for the Hub during the scan. Ensure that you enable RF after the scan completes to restore communication. 62 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Reboot Page IMPORTANT!

Exalt Digital Microwave Radio systems are designed by Exalt’s expert engineers with extensive experience through multiple generations of microwave radio design. These new-generation systems contain extensive diagnostic tools, alarm indications, and troubleshooting aids. And, as compared to other systems in their class, are easier to install, maintain, and troubleshoot. The GUI provides information to aid in troubleshooting. Contact Exalt Customer Care for further assistance with issues with your Exalt radio and with suggestions on how the radio and documentation can be improved. General Practices Troubleshooting a microwave radio link can be a complex task. Approach troubleshooting as a process of elimination, and first determine which portions of the system are operating properly. In a vast majority of cases, failures or poor performance of microwave links is attributed to something other than the microwave radio hardware. In this respect, the back-to-back bench test (see Back-toback Bench Testing) is very important to determine if radio hardware is operating properly and eliminate many variables in the troubleshooting process. If a back-to-back bench test fails, then the radio hardware is either broken or the radios are improperly configured. Upgrade the radio to the most current release of firmware, and/or reset the radio to its critical factory settings, following the quick start guide instructions and those in Configuration and Management, helps to confirm if configuration issues cause failure. The most common issues with microwave radio links are: • An improperly terminated RF cable • Multipath propagation • RF interference • Path obstruction • Misaligned antenna • Faulty antenna • Improper grounding • Insufficient link margin in the design/implementation • Moisture in the transmission system (antenna feed and/or RF cable) If the radio link has been operating without issues and is exhibiting new poor performance behavior or becomes completely inoperative, the troubleshooting process should pay close attention to any conditions that may have changed between the time when the system was working without issue and the time when the issues started. Also, it can be helpful to compare some performance parameters of the system before and after the presence of issues. Often the source of the issues can be determined by thoughtful consideration of changes, such as: • Changes in weather, including high winds • Changes made to the radio equipment, transmission system, or connected equipment • New radio systems or electronic equipment the nearby radio or transmission system 88 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios • New construction nearby either end of the link, or along the path • Tree growth, flooded fields, or changes in rivers/lakes along the path Verify that configurations are set as follows: • RF matches at each end of the link • Bandwidth matches at each end of the link • Link distance matches at each end of the link • TDD Frame Length matches at each end of the link • Endpoint Identifier is different at each end of the link (one end Radio A/Hub, one end Radio B/ Sub) • Ethernet interfaces are enabled, as desired • Link security key matches at each end of the link Typical Indications of Issues In many cases, microwave radio users do not notice changes or degradation to the radio system until the radio system fails completely or becomes highly errored or significantly intermittent. However, regular management of the radio system can help indicate changes in performance that have not yet impacted user performance, but may impact performance at a later date if left unchecked or unaddressed. The administrator can use this as an opportunity to be proactive and monitor the radio link performance regularly, watching for unexplained or unexpected changes in performance and trends in performance changes. Most importantly, monitoring radio system RSL over time indicates the performance of the radio system. Address any long-term drop in RSL and erratic or unsteady RSL. Some RSL changes are expected and weather patterns and the related multipath can cause dramatic RSL changes resulting in system outage. However, that outage should not occur at a significantly greater rate than the designed long-term performance. Consult the path design engineer for more information about link reliability expectations and anticipated RSL deviation. In addition, regular inspection of the transmission system (RF cables and antennas) and paying close attention to changes along the path, such as construction or tree height, or new microwave radio installations nearby, can be extremely helpful and proactive. When link performance is very poor, alarms on the radio front panel and within the radio’s management system indicates particular failures. Consult this manual for more information on the specific alarms and diagnostics, or contact Exalt Customer Care for assistance. Exalt Customer Care is primarily motivated to determine if the radio hardware is faulty and require return for repair, and to help execute an effective and efficient repair and return process for radio terminals believed to be faulty. However, Exalt Customer Care provides advice regarding the total radio system and RF path engineering and environment, and advises on troubleshooting. End users should first contact the installer and/or designer of the system. In many cases, an in-depth understanding of RF design is required, and on-site analysis and special test equipment, may be necessary. Compared to phone support from Exalt Customer Care, troubleshooting is much more expeditious if the professional installer and/or link designer examines the system and reviews the management information in the GUI. In turn, if the professional installer and/or link designer contacts Exalt Customer Care, the process to rectify the system is much more expedient due to the in-depth knowledge related to the implementation and the RF environment. 208363-009 2016-05-26 89 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Improper RF Cable Termination Improper RF cable termination is a very common problem. In many cases, this is a problem that occurs during installation and is not a problem that suddenly appears. However, if cables are moved or flexed, especially near the termination points, and radio errors, changes in RSL, or other performance issues occur, this is a certain sign of this issue. Another relatively easy method to test for this condition is to decrease the output power of the radio system (at each end, one end at a time). A poor RF cable termination may be reflecting too much RF energy back into the radio system, and reducing output power reduces the reflected energy at a faster rate than the transmitted energy towards the far end. Be careful not to reduce the output power to the point where the radio’s threshold is reached. Typically, a reduction of just 3 to 6dB is enough to determine if this is the issue. If the reduction of output power clears the error condition, this is the likely cause. Use a reflectometer or meter that can read VSWR at the operating frequency to identify poor terminations as well as poor antenna feeds. Note: The Praxsym VSWR meter is an excellent tool for this purpose. Multipath Propagation Multipath propagation is a term that encompasses changes to the RF path, such as reflections and/or refraction, causing partial or complete destruction of the radio signal, and thus excessive bit errors and/ or system outages. Rapid changes in temperature, inversion layers, humidity, air pressure, water evaporation, as well as standing water or moisture on objects along the path are all examples of changes that can cause multipath propagation. New building construction near either end of the path or along the path can cause new reflection characteristics. If your system has been operating without issue and is suddenly experiencing issues that are symptomatic of a certain time of day or related to change in climatic events or some of the external factors listed above, this is likely the cause. Consult a professional RF path engineer in these cases. Often, minor repositioning of the antennas at either or both ends can reduce or eliminate these problems. RF Interference RF interference is usually indicative of another radio system nearby either end of your radio system or aimed towards one or both ends of your radio system – usually at or near the same frequency and usually with a similar signal level. Other forms of RF interference also exist, such as electronic equipment placed close to the radio chassis or transmitters that couple onto the cabling or grounding system of the radio. Microwave ovens and wireless communication devices used near the equipment or cabling are examples of electronic equipment interference. 90 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Note: Exalt Digital Microwave Radios operate in license-exempt bands. Microwave ovens, wireless Internet devices and cordless phone technology may also use this frequency band. It may be necessary to separate the radio chassis, cabling system and antenna from these devices. RF interference, like most other causes of problems, is indicated by significant bit errors and/or system outages. One means to determine presence of interference is the use of a spectrum analyzer that covers the same range as the radio system. A professional RF engineer can use a spectrum analyzer to locate sources of interference, measure these sources, and determine potential remedies to take to operate in the presence of interference. If a spectrum analyzer is not available, the radio’s RSL port can help determine RSL levels of interfering signals. By turning the far-end radio off, the residual RSL measured by the radio indicates the level of interference seen by the radio. It is possible that interference levels below that which can be measured still have an impact on the radio system – especially if the radio system has low fade margin or is using a high order modulation. Exalt Digital Microwave Radios provides considerable flexibility to tune to different frequencies across the bands within which they operate. This is the easiest method to use to try to avoid existing interference. In addition, the occupied bandwidth of the radio can be reduced. This, along with retuning, can be very effective, however throughput is reduced. Repositioning the antenna and/or changing polarization, or upgrading the antenna to a higher gain, and/or using a high-performance antenna, are all secondary means that can be used. It may be necessary to perform combinations of both radio changes (retuning, occupied bandwidth reduction) and antenna system changes (position, polarization, upgrade). Path Obstruction A path obstruction is defined as an object, such as a building or tree, impeding the proper path of the radio system. If the system design was proper at the time of installation and issues arise at a later date, an updated path profile and survey may be necessary to identify changes in path clearance. Misaligned Antenna At the time of initial installation, it is critical that the antennas at each end are properly aligned and that the designed RSL is achieved. However, antennas may become misaligned due to high winds, changes in the guy-wiring systems keeping the antenna mast stable, or loosening of the antenna mounting hardware. A reduction in the RSL of the link is symptomatic of this condition, but this condition is not the only condition that results in a reduction of RSL. However, if conditions occur where the antenna alignment may be suspected, the mechanics must be inspected and the antennas realigned. Faulty Antenna (connectorized antenna rc-models only) A faulty antenna is rare, but is still a possibility. In some cases, the mechanics of the antenna feed can get moisture inside, or a bad or weak connection in the pin and connector structure of the antenna may occur. A VSWR measurement of the antenna connection can be made to verify this condition. Improper Grounding In addition to being a potential human safety issue, improper system grounding is a somewhat common condition that can cause continuous bit errors or bit errors when metal objects come in 208363-009 2016-05-26 91 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios contact with the radio, transmission system, or racking system. If touching the radio causes errors, grounding is the cause. It can be difficult to identify grounding problems, but a professional electrician can normally inspect a system and identify if there are deficiencies in the grounding system. Insufficient Link Margin Ideally, the link was designed with enough link margin (fade margin) to allow for multipath propagation and atmospheric fading and still remain reliable. In some cases, link margin is compromised by economic factors, such as using low-cost RF cabling or lower-cost antennas that have less gain or deficient performance compared to higher cost transmission system components. In some cases, there may be antenna size restrictions that forced the design to not have the desired amount of link margin. If the link was designed with poor link margin, there are likely many cases of bit errors and outages. The antenna system and transmission line can be upgraded to help reduce this. If the link design was installed with sufficient margin, but RSL is reduced, the remaining link margin may no longer be enough to maintain a reliable link. The causes of RSL reduction were previously described, but are usually due to new path obstruction(s) or antenna misalignment due to wind or mechanical factors. The antenna height or location can be changed to overcome new obstructions. Realignment of the antenna, and/or improvement to mechanical structures can help overcome antenna misalignment. Moisture in the Transmission System If the connectors on cables and antennas and egress junctions are not properly weatherproofed, moisture can get into the transmission system and cause significant error conditions and erratic performance. In many cases, the transmission system must be replaced. A VSWR meter is one means to identify such issues. Conduct physical inspections often. If changes to the weatherproofing (such as cracking) are noticed, replace the weatherproofing before leakage occurs. 92 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Back-to-back Bench Testing Use back-to-back bench testing to test the radio before installation, pre-configure the radio and connected equipment before installation, or in the troubleshooting process to identify if the radio hardware is the source of a system issue. It is a critical process, and often required or highly desirable for any installation or troubleshooting exercise. This section describes how to properly configure the radio hardware and accessories for a proper back-to-back bench test. For radio testing, there are two types of back-to-back configurations: Basic test (test general operation) Specification performance verification Basic Test The basic test is a simple test of radio functionality. It verifies that the radios are properly configured to communicate to one another, and verifies general radio performance as operational. For the basic test, the following items are needed: • Radio pair • Powering source • RF interconnect cable(s) (any length – short is best) • Fixed or variable attenuation, between 60 and 90dB (note: attenuation for basic test does not to be calibrated or precise) • Computer/terminal with Ethernet port Connect the items as follows: Connect attenuation and (known-good) RF cable(s) between radio pair, shown in Figure 41. Configure one radio as Radio A/Hub; the other as Radio B/Sub Power on radio pair Figure 41 Basic back-to-back bench test configuration After connecting and powering on, observe the front panel LEDs to verify that the LINK and STATUS LEDs are green. If so, the radios are communicating and all radio-related alarm conditions are normal. It can be beneficial to have a computer to verify configuration in case of red LEDs or to pre-configure the radio as desired for operation. Follow the instructions in Configuration and Management. 208363-009 2016-05-26 93 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Specification Performance Verification The specification performance verification is a more detailed test that allows you to verify that the radio’s output power and threshold specifications are being met. This is typically a test that would only be performed in a troubleshooting scenario, but can be performed before installation to provide a detailed record or ensure radio performance before installation. This test is identical to the basic test, but in place of the fixed attenuation, it requires the use of calibrated variable attenuation, or a set of calibrated fixed attenuators, or a combination of both, adding to a total attenuation value of 120dB, as measured at the operating frequency of the radio. In addition, a volt meter or computer is also required. Connect the system as shown in Figure 41, using the combination of fixed and variable attenuation between the radio’s RF ports. Connect the volt meter to either radio’s RSL test point and associated reference ground connection. In this test, it is desirable to use pre-tested RF cables, known to be good, and the insertion loss is known at the operating frequency. If the cables are short (6'/2m or less), you can estimate the loss, including connectors, to be less than 1dB each. The estimate of cable loss is critical to the overall confidence of the measurements made in this test. There are two critical specifications that can be tested in this configuration: • RF output power • Radio receiver threshold To measure transmitter output power, simply insert any value of attenuation between the radios between 60 and 90dB. Ensure that both RF output power settings are at maximum. Use the volt meter to measure RSL in both directions. The RSL measured value should match the appropriate value according to the inserted attenuation, such as: RSL = RF Output Power – cabling losses – total attenuation Verify output power by adjusting output power using the Exalt GUI (in administration mode) and evaluate the corresponding change to the RSL measurement. For threshold testing, the key is to insert a measured amount of loss that is close to, but not exceeding the radio’s specified system gain. System gain is the difference between RF output power and receiver threshold. At your selected modulation and bandwidth settings, determine the specified threshold performance, and choose a value of attenuation (including cable losses) that adds to roughly 5 to 15dB less than the system gain. For example, if the threshold for your measurement is -85dBm, the output power is +27dBm, so the system gain is 112dB. Choose a value of total attenuation in the range of roughly 100–105dB. Once this attenuation is inserted, verify RSL readings as in the first step, and then, using the GUI, reduce radio output power in 1dB steps until the receiving radio (the one whose output power not being adjusted) Link LED turns from green to yellow. This indicates that threshold has been reached. At this point, verify the equation for system gain using the new output power level setting and verify that the threshold performance is meeting or exceeding the published specification. Note: Due to the variation of measurements and accuracies involved in this test, you may read a measurement that is 1dB to as much as 2dB off of the expected value. It should be of no concern unless the value is more than 3dB worse than expected. 94 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios General Compliance and Safety The usage of radio transmission devices is subject to specific regulatory requirements governed by regional legislation.

Prior to the start of any transmission, devices equipped with DFS monitor the spectrum and are not permitted to transmit on any frequency in use for radar transmissions for a period of 30 minutes, during which time the frequency will not be available and the link will be dropped. During operation of the device, the spectrum is continually monitored by DFS to detect radar transmissions on the operating frequency. If radar transmissions are detected, the device must drop the channel within a specified time period so as not to cause interference with the radar transmission. Devices equipped with DFS are required to stay off that part of the spectrum for a minimum of 30 minutes, after which time the device may then re-check the spectrum for radar transmissions and begin transmitting if no radar is detected. 96 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Safety Notices Review this entire guide for important installation instructions BEFORE attempting to install this product.

For 5 GHz radios, the following standards were applied: • Radio: EN 301 893, EN 302 502 • EMC: EN 301 489-1, EN 301 489-17 • Safety: EN 60950-1, IEC 60950-1 The following CE mark is affixed to the product: EU WEEE Exalt is committed to meeting the requirements of the European Union’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive. The Directives require producers of electrical and electronic equipment to finance the take-back for re-use or recycling of their products placed on the EU market after 13 August 2005. Exalt products that are within the scope of the Directives are labeled with a crossed-out "wheelie-bin" symbol as required by the Directives. This indicates that the product was placed on the market after 13 August 2005 and that end-users should segregate the product from other wastes at end-of-life. The WEEE Directives are being implemented in each of the 28 EU and European Economic Area (EAA) countries through national legislation. This has resulted in considerable variation in the detailed requirements across the EU, many of which require presence in the EU. As a result, Exalt’s WEEE compliance approach is to require the distributors and/or resellers in the EU to comply with each country’s national legislation by registration of the distributor or reseller as the producer and for the reseller/distributor to carry out and fulfill the legislative requirements of each national compliance scheme. Below is the crossed out wheelie bin symbol as required by the WEEE Directive. 110 208363-009 2016-05-26 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios EU RoHS RoHS is the acronym used to refer to the European Union (EU) Directive 2002/95/EC on the Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Hazardous materials are those chemicals and substances that are legislatively, market, or customer banned or restricted for use in products and/or manufacturing. There are six (6) RoHS substances: lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr+6), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDE). Other countries may be introducing legislation that results in similar restrictions of hazardous substances. Many Exalt products will continue to use lead-based solder under the exemption allowed for network infrastructure equipment. Small amounts of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE can also be found in a few electrical and electrical components. 208363-009 2016-05-26 111 Exalt Installation and Management Guide ExtendAir eMIMO and ExpandAir Series Digital Microwave Radios Copyright Notices This section presents copyright notices for third-party software licensed to Exalt Wireless, Inc.
