2.3 Preparing Installation
Before installing your Outdoor Wireless LAN system for your outdoor
application in a hard-to-reach location, we recommend that you configure
and test all the devices first.
For configuring the SF-3000, you need follow the quick steps below to
power up the SF-3000:
Step 1 Attach the 1.8m (RS-232) null modem cable to the Serial Port
Adapter. Connect the other cable end (DB9 female) to a terminal or a PC
running a terminal emulation program.
Step 2 Plug the 24V power adapter into a power outlet or power strip. The
Power LED on the top of the Inline Power Injector will light up.
Step 3 Run the cross over Ethernet cable (included in your package) from
Data Input Port (at the bottom of the Inline Power Injector) to the Ethernet
Port on a PC.
NOTE: This connection is required for setting up initial configuration
information. After configuration is completed, this cable will be removed,
and then you should run an Ethernet cable from Data Input Port (at the
bottom of the Inline Power Injector) to the LAN connection (such as to a
hub, bridge or directly into a patch panel).
Step 4 Use one direct Ethernet cable to plug one RJ-45 Ethernet connector
into the Ethernet port at the bottom of the SF-3000.
Step 5 Plug another RJ-45 Ethernet connector (the other end of the
Ethernet cable) into the Power & Data Output Port on the top of the Inline
Power Injector.
When the SF-3000 receives power over the Ethernet cable, the SF-3000
will start its boot sequence and the Active LED on the top of the Inline
Power Injector will light up.

This setting determines the packet size at which the bridge issues a
request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold
setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating
with the access point, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can
detect only the bridge and not each other. Enter a setting ranging from 0 to
2339 bytes.
The keys in these fields can be generated automatically by KeyGen
function. For 40-bit encryption, enter 10 hexadecimal digits; for 128-bit
encryption, enter 26 hexadecimal digits. Hexadecimal digits include the
numbers 0 through 9 and the letters A through F. Your 40-bit WEP keys
can contain any combination of 10
of these characters; your 128-bit WEP keys can contain any combination of
26 of these characters. The letters are not case-sensitive.
- frag Threshold
This setting determines the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as
several pieces instead of as one block). Enter a setting ranging from 256 to
2338 bytes. Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or
where there is a great deal of radio interference.

Professional Installation
Per the recommendation of the FCC, the installation of high gain directional
antenna to the system, which are intended to operated solely as a point-to-
point system and whose total power exceeds +30dBm EIRP, require
professional installation. It is the responsibility of the installer and the end
user that the high power systems are operated strictly as a point-to-point
system.
Systems operating as a point-to-multipoint system or use non directional
antennas cannot exceed +30dBm EIRP power requirement under any
circumstances and do not require professional installation.
