Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  301      RECOMMENDATION: Note the color code that you enter. Ensure that you can readily associate this color code both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module.  Sector ID You can optionally enter an identifier to distinguish this link. Downlink Data The operator specifies the percentage of the aggregate (uplink and downlink total) throughput that is needed for the downlink. The default for this parameter is 50%.  Transmit Frame Spreading If you select Enable, then a BHS between two BHMs can register in the assigned BHM (not the other BHM). Canopy strongly recommends that you select this option. With this selection, the BHM does not transmit a beacon in each frame, but rather transmits a beacon in only pseudo-random frames in which the BHS expects the beacon. This allows multiple BHMs to send beacons to multiple BHSs in the same range without interference. Transmitter Output Power Nations and regions may regulate transmitter output power. For example ◦  Both 900-MHz and 5.7-GHz modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. In addition to setting the power in the 5.7-GHz connectorized module, the operator must set the antenna gain/cable loss such that the module can accurately report received power at the antenna. ◦  Legal maximum allowable transmitter output power and EIRP (Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power) in the 2.4-GHz frequency band varies by country and region. The output power of Series P9 2.4-GHz modules can be adjusted to meet these national or regional regulatory requirements. ◦  Countries and regions that permit the use of the 5.4-GHz frequency band (CEPT member states, for example), generally require equipment using the band to have adjustable power.  The professional installer of Canopy equipment has the responsibility to ◦  maintain awareness of applicable regulations. ◦  calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. ◦  confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional regulations. ◦  confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults.  For information on how to calculate the permissible transmitter output power to enter in this parameter, see Adjusting Transmitter Output Power on Page 326. The Radio tab also provides the following buttons.

Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  303     18.4.4 SNMP Tab of the BHM An example of the SNMP tab in a BHM is displayed in Figure 109.  Figure 109: SNMP tab of BHM, example  In the SNMP tab of the BHM, you may set the following parameters.
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   304  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006 Community String Specify a control string that allows Prizm or a Network Management Station (NMS) to access the module through SNMP. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopy.  The Community String value is clear text and is readable by a packet monitor. Additional security derives from the configuration of the Accessing Subnet, Trap Address, and Permission parameters. Accessing Subnet Specify the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests to this BHM. Prizm or the NMS has an address that is among these addresses (this subnet). You must enter both ◦  The network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ◦  The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form /xx   For example ◦  the /16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (the first 16 bits in the address range are identical among all members of the subnet).  ◦  192.168.102.0 specifies that any device whose IP address is in the range 192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send SNMP requests to the BHM, presuming that the device supplies the correct Community String value.    NOTE: For more information on CIDR, execute an Internet search on “Classless Interdomain Routing.”  The default treatment is to allow all networks access. Trap Address 1 to 10 Specify ten or fewer IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) to which trap information should be sent. Trap information informs Prizm or an NMS that something has occurred. For example, trap information is sent ◦  after a reboot of the module. ◦  when Prizm or an NMS attempts to access agent information but either −  supplied an inappropriate community string or SNMP version number. −  is associated with a subnet to which access is disallowed. Trap Enable Select either Sync Status or Session Status to enable SNMP traps. If you select neither, then traps are disabled. Read Permissions Select Read Only if you wish to disallow any parameter changes by Prizm or an NMS.
Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  305     Site Name Specify a string to associate with the physical module. This parameter is written into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters.  Site Contact Enter contact information for the module administrator. This parameter is written into the sysContact SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Site Location Enter information about the physical location of the module. This parameter is written into the sysLocation SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. The SNMP tab also provides the following buttons. Save Changes When you click this button, any changes that you made on the Configuration page are recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of the module. Reboot When you click this button 1.  the module reboots. 2.  any changes that you saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented.
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   306  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006 18.4.5 Security Tab of the BHM An example of the Security tab in a BHM is displayed in Figure 110.  Figure 110: Security tab of BHM, example  In the Security tab of the BHM, you may set the following parameters. Authentication Mode Specify whether the BHM should require the BHS to authenticate. Authentication Key Only if you set the BHM in the previous parameter to require authentication, specify the key that the BHS should use when authenticating.
Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  307     Encryption Specify the type of air link security to apply to this BHM: ◦ Encryption Disabled provides no encryption on the air link. This is the default mode. ◦ Encryption Enabled provides encryption, using a factory-programmed secret key that is unique for each module.   NOTE: In any BH link where encryption is enabled, the BHS briefly drops registration and re-registers in the BHM every 24 hours to change the encryption key.  BHS Display of BHM Evaluation Data You can use this field to suppress the display of data (Disable Display) about this BHM on the BHM Evaluation tab of the Tools page in the BHS. Web, Telnet, FTP Session Timeout Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via HTTP, telnet, or ftp access to the BHM. IP Access Control You can permit access to the BHM from any IP address (IP Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to access from only one, two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access Filtering Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted from any IP address, including access and management by Prizm. Allowed Source IP 1 to 3 If you selected IP Access Filtering Enabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted to the BHM from any IP address. You may populate as many as all three. If you selected IP Access Filtering Disabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then no entries in this parameter are read, and access from all IP addresses is permitted. The Security tab also provides the following buttons. Save Changes When you click this button, any changes that you made on the Configuration page are recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of the module.
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   308  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006 Reboot When you click this button 1.  the module reboots. 2.  any changes that you saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented. 18.4.6 DiffServe Tab of the BHM An example of the DiffServe tab in a BHM is displayed in Figure 111.  Figure 111: DiffServe tab of BHM, example
Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  309     In the DiffServe tab of the BHM, you may set the following parameters.  CodePoint 1  through  CodePoint 47  CodePoint 49  through  CodePoint 55  CodePoint 57  through  CodePoint 63  The default priority value for each settable CodePoint is shown in Figure 119. Priorities of 0 through 3 map to the low-priority channel; 4 through 7 to the high-priority channel. The mappings are the same as 802.1p VLAN priorities. Consistent with RFC 2474 ◦ CodePoint 0 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 0  (low-priority channel). ◦ CodePoint 48 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 6 (high-priority channel). ◦ CodePoint 56 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 7 (high-priority channel). You cannot change any of these three fixed priority values. Among the settable parameters, the priority values (and therefore the handling of packets in the high- or low-priority channel) are set in the AP for all downlinks within the sector and in the SM for each uplink. See DSCP Field on Page 89.  The DiffServe tab also provides the following buttons. Save Changes When you click this button, any changes that you made on the Configuration page are recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of the module. Reboot When you click this button 1.  the module reboots. 2.  any changes that you saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented.
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   310  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006 18.4.7 Unit Settings Tab of the BHM An example of the Unit Settings tab of the BHM is displayed in Figure 112.  Figure 112: Unit Settings tab of BHM, example  The Unit Settings tab of the BHM contains an option for how the BHM should react when it detects a connected override plug. You may set this option as follows. Set to Factory Defaults Upon Default Plug Detection If Enabled is checked, then an override/default plug functions as a default plug. When the module is rebooted with the plug inserted, it can be accessed at the IP address 169.254.1.1 and no password, and all parameter values are reset to defaults. A subscriber, technician, or other person who gains physical access to the module and uses an override/default plug cannot see or learn the settings that were previously configured in it. When the module is later rebooted with no plug inserted, the module uses the new values for any parameters that were changed and the default values for any that were not. If Disabled is checked, then an override/default plug functions as an override plug. When the module is rebooted with the plug inserted, it can be accessed at the IP address 169.254.1.1 and no password, and all previously configured parameter values remain and are displayed. A subscriber, technician, or other person who gains physical access to the module and uses an override/default plug can see and learn the settings. When the module is later rebooted with no plug inserted, the module uses the new values for any parameters that were changed and the previous values for any that were not. See Overriding Forgotten IP Addresses or Passwords on AP, SM, or BH on Page 375.  The Unit Settings tab also contains the following buttons.

Reboot When you click this button 1.  the module reboots. 2.  any changes that you saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented.
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   312  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006 18.5 CONFIGURING A BH TIMING SLAVE FOR THE DESTINATION If an ADMINISTRATOR-level password has been set in the BHS, you must log into the module before you can configure its parameters. See Managing Module Access by Passwords on Page 373. 18.5.1 General Tab of the BHS An example of the General tab in a BHS is displayed in Figure 113.  Figure 113: General tab of BHS, example  In the General tab of the BHS, you may set the following parameters.
Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  313     Timing Mode Select Timing Slave. This BH will receive sync from another source. Whenever you toggle this parameter to Timing Slave from Timing Master, you should also do the following: 1.  Make no other changes in this or any other interface page. 2.  Save this change of timing mode. 3.  Reboot the BH. RESULT: The set of interface web pages that is unique to a BHS is made available.  NOTE: In a BHS that cannot be converted to a BHM, this parameter is not present (for example, in a BHS with Hardware Scheduling and Series P8 hardware.)  Link Speeds Specify the type of link speed for the Ethernet connection. The default for this parameter is that all speeds are selected. The recommended setting is a single speed selection for all APs, BHs, and SMs in the operator network. Webpage Auto Update Enter the frequency (in seconds) for the web browser to automatically refresh the web-based interface. The default setting is 0. The 0 setting causes the web-based interface to never be automatically refreshed. Bridge Entry Timeout Specify the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with the existing network infrastructure. Timeout occurs when the BHM encounters no activity with the BHS (whose MAC address is the bridge entry) within the interval that this parameter specifies. The Bridge Entry Timeout should be a longer period than the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache timeout of the router that feeds the network. This parameter governs the timeout interval, even if a router in the system has a longer timeout interval. The default value of this field is 25 minutes.  CAUTION! An inappropriately low Bridge Entry Timeout setting may lead to temporary loss of communication with some end users.   Bridging Functionality Select whether you want bridge table filtering active (Enable) or not (Disable) on this BHS. Selecting Disable allows you to use redundant BHs without causing network addressing problems. Through a spanning tree protocol, this reduces the convergence time from 25 minutes to mere seconds. However, you should disable bridge table filtering as only a deliberate part of your overall network design. Otherwise, disabling it allows unwanted traffic across the wireless interface.
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   314  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006 SM Power Up Mode With No 802.3 Link Specify the default mode in which this BHS will power up when it senses no Ethernet link. Select either ◦ Power Up in Aim Mode—the BHS boots in an aiming mode. When the BHS senses an Ethernet link, this parameter is automatically reset to Power Up in Operational Mode. When the BHS senses no Ethernet link within 15 minutes after power up, the BHS carrier shuts off.  ◦ Power Up in Operational Mode—the BHS boots in Operational mode and attempts registration. Unlike in previous releases, this is the default selection in Release 8. 2X Rate See 2X Operation on Page 91. Frame Timing Pulse Gated If this BHS extends the sync pulse to a BHM or an AP behind it, select either ◦ Enable—If this BHS loses sync, then do not propagate a sync pulse to the BHM or AP. This setting prevents interference in the event that the BHS loses sync. ◦ Disable—If this BHS loses sync, then propagate the sync pulse anyway to the BHM or AP.  See Wiring to Extend Network Sync on Page 369. The General tab also provides the following buttons. Save Changes When you click this button, any changes that you made on the Configuration page are recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of the module. Reboot When you click this button 1.  the module reboots. 2.  any changes that you saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented.
Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  315     18.5.2 IP Tab of the BHS An example of the IP tab in a BHS is displayed in Figure 114.  Figure 114: IP tab of BHS, example  In the IP tab of the BHS, you may set the following parameters. LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, IP Address Enter the non-routable IP address to associate with the Ethernet connection on this BHS. (The default IP address from the factory is 169.254.1.1.) If you set and then forget this parameter, then you must both 1.  physically access the module. 2.  use an override plug to electronically access the module configuration parameters at 169.254.1.1. See Overriding Forgotten IP Addresses or Passwords on AP, SM, or BH on Page 377.   RECOMMENDATION: Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module.  LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, Subnet Mask Enter an appropriate subnet mask for the BHS to communicate on the network. The default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. See Allocating Subnets on Page 162.
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   316  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006 LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, Gateway IP Address Enter the appropriate gateway for the BHS to communicate with the network. The default gateway is 169.254.0.0. LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, DHCP State If you select Enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable, but not settable, in the Network Interface tab of the Home page.  The IP tab also provides the following buttons. Save Changes When you click this button, any changes that you made on the IP Configuration page are recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of the module. Reboot When you click this button 1.  the module reboots. 2.  any changes that you saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented.  18.5.3 Radio Tab of the BHS An example of the Radio tab in a BHS is displayed in Figure 115.
Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  317     Figure 115: Radio tab of BHS, example  In the Radio tab of the BHS, you may set the following parameters. Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List Specify the frequency that the BHS should scan to find the BHM. The frequency band of the BHs affects what channels you select.  IMPORTANT! In the 2.4-GHz frequency band, the BHS can register to a BHM that transmits on a frequency 2.5 MHz higher than the frequency that the BHS receiver locks when the scan terminates as successful. This establishes a poor-quality link. To prevent this, select frequencies that are at least 5 MHz apart.  In a 2.4-GHz BHS, this parameter displays all available channels, but has only three recommended channels selected by default. See 2.4-GHz AP Cluster Recommended Channels on Page 137. In a 5.2- or 5.4-GHz BHS, this parameter displays only ISM frequencies. In a 5.7-GHz BHS, this parameter displays both ISM and U-NII frequencies. If you select all frequencies that are listed (default selections), then the module scans for a signal on any channel. If you select only one, then the module limits the scan to that channel. Since the frequencies that this parameter offers for each of these two bands are 5 MHz apart, a scan of all channels does not risk establishment of a poor-quality link as in the 2.4-GHz band. Nevertheless, this can risk establishment of a link to the wrong BHM. A list of channels in the band is provided in Considering Frequency Band Alternatives on Page 136. (The selection labeled Factory requires a special software key file for implementation.) Color Code Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the BHM and the BHS must match. On all Canopy modules, the default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes).   RECOMMENDATION: Note the color code that you enter. Ensure that you can readily associate this color code both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module.  Transmitter Output Power Nations and regions may regulate transmitter output power. For example ◦  Both 900-MHz and 5.7-GHz modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. In addition to setting the power in the 5.7-GHz connectorized module, the operator
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   318  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006 must set the antenna gain/cable loss such that the module can accurately report received power at the antenna. ◦  Legal maximum allowable transmitter output power and EIRP (Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power) in the 2.4-GHz frequency band varies by country and region. The output power of Series P9 2.4-GHz modules can be adjusted to meet these national or regional regulatory requirements. ◦  Countries and regions that permit the use of the 5.4-GHz frequency band (CEPT member states, for example), generally require equipment using the band to have adjustable power.  The professional installer of Canopy equipment has the responsibility to ◦  maintain awareness of applicable regulations. ◦  calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. ◦  confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional regulations. ◦  confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults.

Figure 116: SNMP tab of BHS, example  In the SNMP tab of the BHS, you may set the following parameters. Community String Specify a control string that allows Prizm or an NMS (Network Management Station) to access MIB information about this BHS. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopy.
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   320  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006 The Community String value is clear text and is readable by a packet monitor.

The default treatment is to allow all networks access (set to 0). For more information on CIDR, execute an Internet search on “Classless Interdomain Routing.” Trap Address 1 to 10 Specify ten or fewer IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) to which trap information should be sent. Trap information informs Prizm or an NMS that something has occurred. For example, trap information is sent ◦  after a reboot of the module. ◦  when Prizm or an NMS attempts to access agent information but either −  supplied an inappropriate community string or SNMP version number. −  is associated with a subnet to which access is disallowed. Read Permissions Select Read Only if you wish to disallow Prizm or NMS SNMP access to configurable parameters and read-only fields of the SM.  Site Name Specify a string to associate with the physical module. This parameter is written into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Prizm or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters.  Site Contact Enter contact information for the module administrator. This parameter is written into the sysContact SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Prizm or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Site Location Enter information about the physical location of the module. This parameter is written into the sysLocation SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Prizm or an NMS.

Figure 118: Security tab of BHS, example  In the Security tab of the BHS, you may set the following parameters. Authentication Key Only if the BHM to which this BHS will register requires authentication, specify the key that the BHS should use when authenticating. For alpha characters in this hex key, use only upper case.  NOTE: Canopy recommends that you enter 32 characters to achieve the maximal security from this feature.
Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  323     Select Key The Use Default Key selection specifies that the link should continue to use the automatically generated authentication key. See Authentication Manager Capability on Page 385. The Use Key above selection specifies the 32-digit hexadecimal key that is permanently stored on both the BHS and the BHM. Web, Telnet, FTP Session Timeout Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via HTTP, telnet, or ftp access to the BHS. IP Access Control You can permit access to the BHS from any IP address (IP Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to access from only one, two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access Filtering Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted from any IP address, including access and management by Prizm. Allowed Source IP 1 to 3 If you selected IP Access Filtering Enabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted to the BHS from any IP address.

A subscriber, technician, or other person who gains physical access to the module and uses an override/default plug cannot see or learn the settings that were previously configured in it. When the module is later rebooted with no plug inserted, the module uses the new values for any parameters that were changed and the default values for any that were not. If Disabled is checked, then an override/default plug functions as an override plug. When the module is rebooted with the plug inserted, it can be accessed at the IP address 169.254.1.1 and no password, and all previously configured parameter values remain and are displayed. A subscriber, technician, or other person who gains physical access to the module and uses an override/default plug can see and learn the settings. When the module is later rebooted with no plug inserted, the module uses the new values for any parameters that were changed and the previous values for any that were not. See Overriding Forgotten IP Addresses or Passwords on AP, SM, or BH on Page 375.  The Unit Settings tab also contains the following buttons. Save Changes When you click this button, any changes that you made on all tabs are recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of the module. Reboot When you click this button 1.  the module reboots. 2.  any changes that you saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented. Undo Unit-Wide Saved Changes When you click this button, any changes that you made in any tab but did not commit by a reboot of the module are undone. Set to Factory Defaults When you click this button, all configurable parameters on all tabs are reset to the factory settings. 18.6 ADJUSTING TRANSMITTER OUTPUT POWER Authorities may require transmitter output power to be adjustable and/or lower than the highest that a module produces. Canopy adjustable power modules include a Radio tab parameter to reduce power to achieve compliance. If you set this parameter to lower than the range of the hardware in a given module, the value is automatically reset to the lowest value the hardware is capable of. The best practice is to ◦  maintain awareness of applicable regulations. ◦  calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. ◦  confirm that the initial power setting is compliant.
Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  327     ◦  confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults. ◦  Adjust (usually reduce) transmit power so as to have a good signal at the receiver without transmitting excesss power. Note this usually means reducing transmit power for close-in SMs, while setting the AP to reach its most distant SM. For BHs, this usually means reducing the power symmetrically.   IMPORTANT! In the European Union, operators are under regulatory requirements to control transmit power so as to enhance sharing with other band users.   The total gain per antenna in 900-MHz and 5.7-GHz Canopy radios is stated in Table 52.

Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  331     19 INSTALLING COMPONENTS   RECOMMENDATION: Use shielded cable for all Canopy infrastructure connections associated with BHs, APs, and CMMs. The environment that these modules operate in often has significant unknown or varying RF energy. Operator experience consistently indicates that the additional cost of shielded cables is more than compensated by predictable operation and reduced costs for troubleshooting and support.  19.1 PDA ACCESS TO CANOPY MODULES For RF spectrum analysis or module aiming on a roof or tower, a personal digital assistant (PDA) is easier to carry than, and as convenient to use as, a notebook computer. The PDA is convenient to use because no scrolling is required to view ◦  spectrum analysis results. ◦  RSSI and jitter. ◦  master module evaluation data. ◦  information that identifies the module, software, and firmware.  To access this data in a format the fits a 320 x 240 pixel PDA screen, the PDA must have all of the following: ◦  a Compact Flash card slot. ◦  any of several Compact Flash wired Ethernet cards. ◦  a wired Ethernet connection to the module. ◦  a browser directed to http://ModuleIPAddress/pda.html.  The initial PDA tab reports link status, as shown in Figure 121.

Procedure 19: Installing the AP
Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  335     1.  Begin with the AP in the powered-down state. 2.  Choose the best mounting location for your particular application. Modules need not be mounted next to each other. They can be distributed throughout a given site. However, the 60° offset must be maintained. Mounting can be done with stainless steel hose clamps or another equivalent fastener. 3.  Align the AP as follows: a.  Move the module to where the link will be unobstructed by the radio horizon and no objects penetrate the Fresnel zone. (The Canopy System Calculator page AntennaElevationCalcPage.xls automatically calculates the minimum antenna elevation that is required to extend the radio horizon to the other end of the link. The Canopy System Calculator page FresnelZoneCalcPage.xls automatically calculates the Fresnel zone clearance that is required between the visual line of sight and the top of a high-elevation object.) b.  Use a local map, compass, and/or GPS device as needed to determine the direction that one or more APs require to each cover the intended 60° sector. c.  Apply the appropriate degree of downward tilt. (The Canopy System Calculator page DowntiltCalcPage.xls automatically calculates the angle of antenna downward tilt that is required.) d.  Ensure that the nearest and furthest SMs that must register to this AP are within the beam coverage area. (The Canopy System Calculator page BeamwidthRadiiCalcPage.xls automatically calculates the radii of the beam coverage area.) 4.  Using stainless steel hose clamps or equivalent fasteners, lock the AP in the proper direction and downward tilt. 5.  Remove the base cover of the AP. (See Figure 52 on Page 178.) 6.  Attach the cables to the AP.  (See Procedure 5 on Page 184.) NOTE: When power is applied to a Canopy module or the unit is reset on the web-based interface, the module requires approximately 25 seconds to boot. During this interval, self-tests and other diagnostics are being performed. See Table 44 on Page 179. =========================== end of procedure =========================== 19.3 INSTALLING A CONNECTORIZED FLAT PANEL ANTENNA To install a connectorized flat panel antenna to a mast or structure, follow instructions that the manufacturer provides. Install the antenna safely and securely, consistent with industry practices. The Universal Mounting Bracket available from Motorola (Part Number SMMB-1 and consisting of a mounting bracket and L-shaped aluminum tube) holds one Canopy module, but cannot hold both the module and a connectorized antenna. The SMMB-2 is a heavy duty bracket that can hold both a 900-MHz module and its connectorized antenna. See Module Support Brackets on Page 59.
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   336  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006  IMPORTANT! Connectorized antennas require professional installation.  The professional installer is responsible for ◦  selection of an antenna that the regulatory agency has approved for use with the Canopy 900-MHz AP and SM. ◦  setting of the gain consistent with regulatory limitations and antenna specifications. ◦  ensuring that the polarity—horizontal or vertical—is identical on both ends of the link. (This may be less obvious where an integrated antenna is used on one end and a connectorized on the other.) ◦  use of moisture sealing tape or wrap to provide long-term integrity for the connection. 19.4 INSTALLING A GPS ANTENNA The following information describes the recommended tools and procedures to mount the GPS antenna. Recommended Tools for GPS Antenna Mounting The following tools may be needed for mounting the GPS antenna: ◦  3/8” nut driver ◦  12” adjustable wrench ◦  7/16” wrench ◦  Needle-nose pliers Mounting a GPS Antenna Perform the following procedure to mount a GPS antenna.

Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   346  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006 =========================== end of procedure =========================== 19.7 INSTALLING AN SM Installing a Canopy SM consists of two procedures: ◦  Physically installing the SM on a residence or other location and performing a course alignment using the alignment tone (Procedure 28). ◦  Verifying the AP to SM link and finalizing alignment using review of power level and jitter, link tests, and review of registration and session counts (Procedure 29 on Page 349). Procedure 28: Installing the SM 1.  Choose the best mounting location for the SM. 2.  Select the type of mounting hardware appropriate for this location. (For mounting 2.4, 5.2, 5.4, and 5.7 GHz SMs, Motorola offers the SMMB-1 mounting bracket. For mounting 900 MHz SMs, Motorola offers the SMMB-2 mounting bracket.) 3.  Remove the base cover of the SM. (See Figure 52 on Page 178.) 4.  Terminate the UV outside grade Category 5 Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector, and connect the cable to the SM. (See Procedure 8 on Page 192.) 5.  Optionally, attach the SM to the arm of the Canopy Passive Reflector dish assembly as shown in Figure 133.   RECOMMENDATION: A reflector in this instance reduces the beamwidth to reduce interference. The arm is molded to receive and properly aim the module relative to the aim of the dish. Use stainless steel hose clamps for the attachment.

Use stainless steel hose clamps or equivalent fasteners to lock the SM into position. NOTE: The SM grounding method is shown in Figure 134.     Figure 134: SM grounding per NEC specifications  7.  Remove the cover of the 300SS Surge Suppressor.
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   348  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006  KEY TO CALLOUTS 1 Holes—for mounting the Surge Suppressor to a flat surface (such as an outside wall). The distance between centers is 4.25 inches (108 mm). 2 RJ-45 connectors—One side (neither side is better than the other for this purpose) connects to the Canopy product (AP, SM, BHM, BHS, or cluster management module). The other connects to the AC adaptor’s Ethernet connector. 3 Ground post—use heavy gauge (10 AWG or 6 mm2) copper wire for connection. Refer to local electrical codes for exact specifications. 4 Ground Cable Opening—route the 10 AWG (6 mm2) ground cable through this opening. 5 CAT-5 Cable Knockouts—route the two CAT-5 cables through these openings, or alternatively through the Conduit Knockouts. 6 Conduit Knockouts—on the back of the case, near the bottom. Available for installations where cable is routed through building conduit. Figure 135: Internal view of Canopy 300SS Surge Suppressor  8.  With the cable openings facing downward, mount the 300SS to the outside of the subscriber premises, as close to the point where the Ethernet cable penetrates the residence or building as possible, and as close to the grounding system  (Protective Earth) as possible. 9.  Using diagonal cutters or long nose pliers, remove the knockouts that cover the cable openings to the 300SS. 10.  Connect an Ethernet cable from the power adapter (located inside the residence or building, outward through the building penetration) to either RJ-45 port of the 300SS. 11.  Connect another Ethernet cable from the other RJ-45 port of the 300SS to the Ethernet port of the SM. 12.  Refer to Grounding SMs on Page 172.
Release 8    Installation and Configuration Guide   Issue 2, December 2006  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  349     13.  Wrap an AWG 10 (or 6mm2) copper wire around the Ground post of the 300SS. 14.  Tighten the Ground post locking nut in the 300SS onto the copper wire. 15.  Securely connect the copper wire to the grounding system (Protective Earth) according to applicable regulations. 16.  Connect a ground wire to the 300SS. 17.  Replace the cover of the 300SS surge suppressor. 18.  For coarse alignment of the SM, use the Audible Alignment Tone feature as follows: a.  Set the 2X Rate parameter in the SM to Disable. b.  At the SM, connect the RJ-11 6-pin connector of the Alignment Tool Headset to the RJ-11 utility port of the SM. Alternatively, instead of using the Alignment Tool Headset, use an earpiece or small battery-powered speaker connected to Pin 5 (alignment tone output) and Pin 6 (ground) of an RJ-11 connector. c.  Listen to the alignment tone for ◦  pitch, which indicates greater signal power (RSSI/dBm) by higher pitch. ◦  volume, which indicates better signal quality (lower jitter) by higher volume.  Figure 136: Audible Alignment Tone kit, including headset and connecting cable  d.  Adjust the module slightly until you hear the highest pitch and highest volume. e.  If the Configuration web page of the SM contains a 2X Rate parameter, set it back to Enable. 19.  When you have achieved the best signal (highest pitch, loudest volume), lock the SM in place with the mounting hardware. =========================== end of procedure =========================== 19.8 VERIFYING AN AP-SM LINK To verify the AP-SM link after the SM has been installed, perform the following steps. Procedure 29: Verifying performance for an AP-SM link
Installation and Configuration Guide    Release 8   350  Draft 2 for Regulatory Review  Issue 2, December 2006 1.  Using a computer (laptop, desktop, PDA) connected to the SM, open a browser and access the SM using the default IP address of http://169.254.1.1 (or the IP address configured in the SM, if one has been configured.) 2.  On the General Status tab of the Home page in the SM (shown in Figure 66 on Page 198), look for Power Level and Jitter.  IMPORTANT: The received Power Level is shown in dBm and should be maximized. Jitter should be minimized. However, better/lower jitter should be favored over better/higher dBm. For example, if coarse alignment gives an SM a power level of −75 dBm and a jitter measurement of 5, and further refining the alignment drops the power level to −78 dBm and the jitter to 2 or 3, the latter would be better, with the following caveats: ◦  When the receiving link is operating at 1X, the Jitter scale is 0 to 15 with desired jitter between 0 and 4.  ◦  When the receiving link is operating at 2X, the Jitter scale is 0 to 15 with desired jitter between 0 and 9.   NOTE: For historical reasons, RSSI is also shown and is the unitless measure of power. The best practice is to use Power Level and ignore RSSI, which implies more accuracy and precision than is inherent in the measurement.  3.  Fine-adjust the SM mounting, if needed, to improve Jitter or Power Level. 4.  Click the Link Capacity Test tab of the Tools web page in the SM. NOTE: Use of this tool is described under Using the Link Capacity Test Tool (All) on Page 434. 5.  Perform several link tests of 10-second duration as follows: a.  Type into the Duration field how long (in seconds) the RF link should be tested. b.  Leave the Packet Length field (when present) set to the default of 1522 bytes or type into that field the packet length at which you want the test conducted. c.  Leave the Number of Packets field set to 0 (to flood the link). d.  Click the Start Test button. e.  View the results of the test. 6.  If these link tests fail to consistently show 90% or greater efficiency in 1X operation or 50 to 60% efficiency in 2X, troubleshoot the link, using the data as follows: ◦  If the downlink is consistently 90% efficient, but the uplink is only 40%, this indicates trouble for the SM transmitting to the AP. Have link tests performed for nearby SMs. If their results are similar, investigate a possible source of interference local at the AP. ◦  If the uplink is consistently 90% efficient, but the downlink is only 40%, this indicates trouble for the AP transmitting to the SM. Investigate a possible source of interference near the SM. If these link tests consistently show 90% or greater efficiency in 1X operation, or 50 to 60% efficiency in 2X operation, in both uplink and downlink, continue this procedure.
