Please consult the Help menu on the diskette if you have any additional questions or concerns 4.2 Antenna Installation (See Appendix B) WARNING: The authority to operate this device requires is operation and installation, including antennas, to comply with the FCC-adopted radio lrequencleF) exposure limits. It is the responsibillty oi the Installer to install this device and associated antennas so that RF exposures to persons do not exceed 1.0mWIcm’. For the AirEZY2411 e‘lan Bridge antenna system (24dB. or 1ZdB antennas) the exposure limit is generally satisfied if the antennas are at least 30.48 centimeters of 12 Inches away from nearby persons. Before installing AirEZY2411 e‘lan Bridge onto your network, be sure to properly install the directional antenna onto your building. We require that the installation of the antennas be performed by a qualified or licensed antenna installer. The front panel of your AirEZY2411 e'lan Bridge unit will have four LEDs and a RF cable connector. The provided antenna cable will have a proprietary 32UNEF female connector that is matched to the AirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge unit Be sure to have the UNEF Connector matched to the AirEZY24i1 e’tan Bridge unit. Be sure not to over torque the screw as this may damage your AirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge unit‘s 32UNEF male connectorlll When installing the antenna and the RF cable follow the following set-up procedure 1) Be sure to attach the antenna to the antenna mast first. Please align the antennas on the two paints that you intend to connect before proceeding to the next step. Line of sight needs to be established between the two high gain antennas. 2) Do not attach the low loss RF cable onto the AirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge unit before the cable is attached and connected to the antenna. 3) Once the antennas are properly installed onto the antenna mast and properly secured to your building, you are ready to connect the RF cable to the antenna Connect the RF cable to the antenna by connecting the STD “N” female to STD “N” male connector on the antenna RF teed cable. 4) Run the RF cable along the antenna mast to where the AirEZY2411 e’lan Bridge unit will be located. 5) Secure the cable approximately 12"-18"(inches) away from the All‘EZY2411 e'lan Bndge umt to allow for stress relief along the RF cable. (Connecting the RF cable to the unit without stress relief in place will damage the connector assembly on the A|rEZY2411 e‘lan Bridge units!) After you have completed the installation of the antenna systems, please refer to the user's manual for the network connection.

(Do not freely place the antenna on the roof without the antenna attached to a mast/tripod system Do not dangle the antenna off the side of a building ) Improper antenna installation may result in poor connectivity or no connectivity. 2) It is recommended that the antenna mast be placed either on the roof using a tripod mount or attached to the side ofa building using a side wall mount 3) Antennas must be within line of sight of each other. (Tall trees, buildings. freeway overpasses, and objects taller than the antenna assembly will obstruct and / or deflect the radio signal path ) 4) When installing the antennas follow the instructions provided in Appendix B of this manual. Be sure that both antennas are installed so that the grid panels are in the same orientation, (The polarization for both grid antenna panels should be horizontal or vertical) 5) OTC Telecom recommends that the installation of the antenna mast be performed by a qualified antenna installer. Verifying RF Cable Connections to AirEZY Units 1) Inspect the connection paints between the RF cable and the AirEZY units 2) Be sure to verify proper antenna installation with the diagrams in Appendix B. AirEZY Connection to File Server! Huh I Router! 1. AirEZY can be connected to a file server (It must be connected to a second Ethernet card on the file server. Use the 7ft 1OBase T cable provided in the kit) 2) AirEZY can be connected to a 10Base T Hub / Router or Bridge (Must use Sft cables provided in your kit ) Powering up AirEZY at the file sewer l) The AirEZY unit designated for installation at the Server should always be powered on FlRSTlll Do not turn on the AirEZY at your client or remote slte at this time Allow several seconds for the unit to load in the built-in firmware and allow the system to perform a series of self-diagnostic tests. The AirEZY unit’s indicator lights should blink in the following pattern: LED Function Display yellow LED (Network Link) slow blinking pattern (CPU lunctional) green LED (RX) always on (receiving mode) red LED (TX) alternating on and all flash (transmitting mode) red LED (Power) always on (indicates power) a) check to see that all losase T cables are connected properly b) verify that your file server/ Ethernet card / hub / router/ and or Bridge is configured properly. 0) verify that your network operating system is functional on your server d) turn off your AirEZY unit and be sure that the other AirEZY unit is not on at this time Powering up AirEZY at the remote 1) Be sure that the AirEZY located at the main file server is on and ready to receive signal from the AirEZY at the remote Site. 2) Plug in and power on the AirEZY at the remote site. 3) Confirmation of connectivity is exhibited by the following blinking patterns of the LED Indicators, AirEZY located at main File server: LED Function Display yellow LED (Network Link) changes from a slow blinking pattern to rapid blinking (CPU lunctionality) green LED (RX) always on (receiving mode) red LED (TX) alternating on and off flash (transmitting mode) (Alternating flash pattern dependent upon AirEZY at client site's transmission patternt red LED (Power) always on (indicates power) AirEZY located at remote site: Q Function Display yellow LED (Network Link) changes from a slow blinking pattem to rapid blinking (CPU functionality) green LED (RX) always on (receiving mode) red LED (TX) alternating on and ofl flash (transmitting mode) / Alternating flash patterns red LED (Power) always on (indicates power) 4) If both AirEZY ‘s YELLOW LEDs remain in the slow blinking pattern; after the remote site is powered on, the radio link has not been established. Please check the followmg to verify proper connection a) Check to see that all 1OBase T cables are connected properly) b) Verify that your remote client site's system is configured properly We recommend checking your Personal Computer I Laptop Ethemel card hub router bridge verify that your network operating system is functional on your server. Cabling and Connection of AirEZY 1) The majorlty of problems ln oonnectlwty With remote cllent slles can be traced to improper or poor antenna installation and undesirable placement of antenna mast It is not uncommon to test multiple locations before finding the most optimal location for the antenna's signal path 2) Many network connectlvlty problems can be rectified with a thorough inspection of the cables, and connectors Power Spikes. Power Surges. and Brown-Outs 1) RF systems are susceptible to power spikes power surges, and brown outs. Unstable power may cause yourwireless LAN system to momentarily drop a link. The AirEZY wireless system IS designed so that it will recover the connection. 2) OTC Telecom recommends that the user plugs the AirEZY2411 e‘lan Bridge into an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Thls will resolve the majority of dropped links on yourwweless bridging system, Technical Support OTC Telecom’s technical support can be reached Monday - Friday (7 30 AM - 6-00 PM PST) except major holidays, at (300) 770 -6698
