2 System Overview
2.1 General Description
The system SL60-100-57/64-38-E-O operates as a data link in the 60 GHz
unlicensed band between 57 GHz and 64 GHz with a full duplex data rate of 100
Mbps over a distance of up to 1 km (3300 ft). In view of the unlicensed status of this
band, a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license or special authorization
is not required to operate systems in the US.
Measuring only 16 × 16 cm (6.3" × 6.3"), its compact size is attained by extensively
integrating the active and passive components. The use of Power over Ethernet
(PoE), the optical alignment tool and the mounting bracket reduce the installation
effort to a minimum.

3 Site Planning
It is necessary that the installer performs an inspection of the site and plans the
installation prior the physical installation of SL60-100-57/64-38-E-O.
This inspection and planning tasks include:
♦ Evaluate the appropriate location for the installation of the links (see
section 3.1).
♦ Identifying an appropriate mounting structure (wall or mast) for each link.
♦ Planning the cable routing from your network component to the link.
♦ Setting up the proper network configuration for the links (see 4.9)
3.1 Line of Sight
Radio transmission requires a clear path between antennas known as radio line of
sight (LOS). To have a clear line of sight there must be no obstructions between the
two locations. The clearance necessary to operate can be established visually. The
following table helps to decide if an obstacle interferes with the radio line of sight
requirements.
link distance

400 1312 0.7 2.3
600 1968 0.9 2.8
800 2625 1.0 3.3
1000 3281 1.1 3.7
3.2 Radio Location
When selecting the best link location the following factors should be considered:
• Accessibility (roof, etc.)
• Type of mounting (wall / pole)
• Grounding connection point (see 3.6)
• Cable runs (max. 100m)
• Line of sight (see 3.1)
3.3 Link Distance / Link Availability
The link distance or separation between the link ends is directly related to the
tolerable BER (Bit error rate) and path availability.
The influence of BER on Ethernet transmission depends on the size of the
transmitted packets and their bit sequence. A rough rule of the thumb says good
Ethernet connections can be achieved with 10-6 BER.
The affordable link availability is influenced by following environmental conditions:
• Rain the lesser the better
• Temperature the higher the better
SL60-100-57/64-38-E-O - Installation and Service Manual
DOC-0000232377 Page 10 of 31 Issued: 29.08.05
• Air Pressure the lower the better
To the first order, the relationship of availability and link distance (line of sight) is
shown in the map below.
Availability Rain Zone*
A B C D E F K M N
99.900% 1014 996 963 923 949 923 877 791 711

99.999% 791 727 676 676 575 554 504 468 391
* rain zone according ITU-R Recommendation PN.837
99.900% availability equates to 526 minutes per year of outage due to heavy rains.
99.990% availability equates to 53 minutes per year of outage due to heavy rains.
99.999% availability equates to 5 minutes per year of outage due to heavy rains.
For a more accurate link distance vs. availability number please visit our website
(www.hubersuhner.com/sl60), where you will find an online calculation tool.
Knowledge of the link distance (line of sight) is important in estimating the link quality.
The web browser based configuration software calculates the quality of the link by
using the entered link distance (line of sight).
3.4 Radio Mounting Options
Wall mounting
Use appropriate mounting bolts to mount the radio bracket to a wall mount location. A
drilling template is provided in order to properly locate the wall mounting hole
locations. The wall mounting location should be strong enough to secure the radio to
the wall under all foreseeable environmental conditions (wind, rain, ice, etc).
Depending on the material that the bracket is mounted to, different sized mounting
hardware may be necessary.
Pole mounting
The pole mounting kit (#23025718) can be used to mount the radio onto poles with
diameters between 2.36” to 5.12” (60 – 130 mm).

install the link on the bracket with the same orientation (antenna polarization) at both
ends of the link.
3.5 Cabling
The unit is delivered with a Ethernet cable terminated with a weather-proof RJ45
female connector. To connect the SencityLink to your network use a Ethernet cable
cat. 5e with a max length of 100 m. For outdoor use the enclosed Field Attachable
Connectors RJ45 connector. For outdoor use please verify that the cable used is
designed for outdoor environmental (water, solar UV, etc. applications). Because the
power is supplied by the Ethernet cable (POE), please confirm that the used switch
or router supports Power over Ethernet. If the switch/router does not provide PoE,
please use a POE injector. The PowerDsine model 3001 is recommended as supply
(see accessory).
3.6 Grounding / Lightning Protection
The radio must be properly grounded to provide protection against voltage surges. In
the event of a short circuit or lightening strike, proper grounding can prevent damage
to building, infrastructure and personnel.

Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each
node of a network. In IEEE 802 networks, the Data Link Control (DLC)
layer of the OSI Reference Model is divided into two sub-layers: the
Logical Link Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control (MAC)
layer. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network medium.
Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different
MAC layer.

4.9.4 Network Configuration screen
The Network configuration screen is giving you the possibility to change network
settings if required. Use automatic network configuration (DHCP) and
AutoNegotiation in case you are not an advanced user.
Get automatically
(DHCP)
A protocol is automatically assigning dynamic IP addresses to the unit on
a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP
address every time it connects to the network. DHCP ( Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol ), also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP
addresses. Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration
because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring
an administrator to manage the task. This means your new installed and
connected unit can be added to a network without the hassle of manually
assigning it a unique IP address. Whenever possible use this setting.
Manual configuration
(IP)
In case you are not using DHCP you can manually set all the network
addressing parameters.
IP address An identifier for your device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the
TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the
destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address
SL60-100-57/64-38-E-O - Installation and Service Manual
DOC-0000232377 Page 21 of 31 Issued: 29.08.05
written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero
to 255. For example, 123.160.10.4 could be an IP address. Within an
isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each
one is unique.
Network mask A Network mask is used to group IP addresses together. Routers use a
subnet mask to define the group (or IP subnet) to which an IP address
belongs so that it can identify the correct interface from which it should
forward an IP packet. Depending on the IP address range, type of
network and different sub-structures can be arranged. Below an example
of a C Class network number of 192.168.1.0,with some sub-networking
options :
No of No of
subnets Hosts/net netmask

Default gateway Enter the address of the default network device that will be used to
access another network. In enterprises, the gateway node often acts as a
proxy server and a firewall. The gateway is also associated with both a
router, which use headers and forwarding tables to determine where
packets are sent, and a switch, which provides the actual path for the
packet in and out of the gateway.
DNS Server 1 Address of the equipment providing DNS (Domain Name System)
services which translates domain names into IP addresses. Because
domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The network
however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain
name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the
corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name
www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4.
DNS Server 2 Address of an alternative equipment providing DNS (Domain Name
System) services.
Auto Negotiate Ethernet is basically capable to recognize its transmission protocol and
negotiates the necessary settings fully automatic. Whenever possible use
the AutoNegotiate setting.
Manual configuration
(Ethernet)
Is Auto Negotiate not possible use the manual setting options. Especially
older equipment is not using the auto negotiation capability.
Half-Duplex
(Duplex)
This device contain a switch that lets you select between half-duplex and
full-duplex mode. The correct choice depends on which protocol you are
using to transmit data through the link. In half-duplex mode, each
character transmitted is immediately displayed on the other end of the
link. (For this reason, it is sometimes called local echo -- characters are
echoed by the local device).
Full-Duplex
(Duplex)
Selection for duplex transmission mode. In full-duplex mode, transmitted
data is not displayed on the other end of the link until it has been received
and returned (remotely echoed) by the other device. If you are running a
communications protocol like Ethernet and every character appears twice,
it probably means that your device is in half-duplex mode when it should
be in full-duplex mode, and every character is being both locally and
remotely echoed.

10mbps
(Speed)
Option button for local-area network (LAN) architecture developed by
Xerox Corporation in cooperation with DEC and Intel in 1976. Ethernet
uses a different topology and supports data transfer rates of 10 mbps.
The Ethernet specification served as the basis for the IEEE 802.3
standard, which specifies the physical and lower software layers. Ethernet
uses the CSMA/CD access method to handle simultaneous demands.
100mbps
(Speed)
Option setting for networking standard that supports data transfer rates
up to 100 mbps (100 megabits per second). 100BASE-T is based on the
older Ethernet standard. Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is
often referred to as Fast Ethernet. Officially, the 100BASE-T standard is
IEEE 802.3u.
Physical address
(MAC)
Unit specific MAC address defined by the manufacturer. Short for Media
Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each
node of a network. In IEEE 802 networks, the Data Link Control (DLC)
layer of the OSI Reference Model is divided into two sub-layers: the
Logical Link Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control (MAC)

Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different
MAC layer.
4.9.5 Radio Alignment screen
The Radio Alignment screen is giving you specific details for alignment of the two
radios. Since point to point radios have to have line of sight (LOS) conditions and
have to be pointed face to face to each other. This page provides you with all the
technical information necessary for the alignment process.

5.2 Troubleshooting
This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and
operation of the SL60-100-57/64-38-E-O. We cover various aspects of the installation
and the network setup. Please read the following if you are having problems.
Note
You have to check all the following points at both ends of the Link. Start with
the whole procedure at one side (e.g. Terminal A) if the problem is not solved,
do all the steps at the opposite terminal.
5.2.1 Power and Network Connection
Î You have to verify that the terminal gets power. The PoE injector has to be
installed and plugged in according to the manual (VERWEIS). Go to the
terminal, disconnect the watertight RJ-45 connector and verify with a
standard PoE tester (VERWEIS) if there is power on the cable.
Î Take the cable and plug it into a notebook or a network testing device and
verify if there is a proper network connection.
If there is any problem, please replace the cable and validate the proper connection
again. We provide special preassembled outdoor CAT-5e cables to ensure a easy
installation.
5.2.2 Network Configuration
Î Check that the IP address is in the same range and subnet as the SL60-
100-57/64-38-E-O. Please see VERWEIS section of this manual.
Note:
The IP address of the SL60-100-57/64-38-E-O is 192.168.0.1 for terminal A
and 192.168.0.2 for terminal B. All the computers on the network must have a
unique IP address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Any computers that
have identical IP addresses will not be visible on the network. They must all
have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0
SL60-100-57/64-38-E-O - Installation and Service Manual
DOC-0000232377 Page 28 of 31 Issued: 29.08.05
Î Do a Ping test to make sure that the SL60-100-57/64-38-E-O is
responding. Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.50. A
successful ping will show four replies. (GRAPHIK HIER PLATZIEREN)
As soon the network configuration is correct you can access the GUI
(Graphical User Interface) and check the settings according to section
VERWEIS
5.2.3 Duplex Mismatch
Î If you have bad network performance you have probably a Duplex
mismatch.
Î To ensure that the terminal of SL60-100-57/64-38-E-O and the connected
network component (e.g. switch) do not have a Duplex Mismatch you
check first your statistics. If you find many Input Errors, you are on the Full-
Duplex side, if you see many Late Collisions, you are on the Half-Duplex
side.
Î To solve the duplex mismatch you have to configure manually both
network components and to the same values.
5.2.4 Miss-alignment
Î Access the configuration interface as described in section VERWEIS. On
the page … you see the signal strength in dBm (e.g. -30 dBm). If the value
is below -65 dBm the receiver is not in the position to track the signal.
Therefore you need to re-align the terminal to its opposite terminal (please
follow the instructions at section VERWEIS).
