Field Installation This field installation manual provides instructions for installing the Strix OWS 2400 and OWS 3600 products safely and is intended for trained technical professionals. You must read the Safety Warnings on page iii before commencing with the installation. Theory of Operation The Strix Systems, Access/One® Network OWS provides up to 3 independent channels for 802.11g support and 3 independent channels of 802.11a and 4.9 GHz (public safety) support through its external connections. This configuration allows the installer to separate the client 802.11g traffic from the backhaul traffic which is carried through the 802.11a channels. As shipped from the factory, the OWS is self-configuring and self-healing. In addition, multiple configuration options are possible and the installer should refer to the Access/One® Network User's Guide (part number 210-0007-01) for detailed information about these configurations. Important Safety Information The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. All Strix products, including the OWS, meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. The proper operation of this wireless device, according to the instructions found in this manual and the associated Access/One® Network software User’s Guide, result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits. The following are guidelines to ensure safe operation of the Strix OWS product: ◗ Do not touch or move the antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving. ◗ Do not hold any component containing a radio such that the antenna is very close to or touching any exposed parts of the body—especially the face or eyes—while transmitting. ◗ Do not operate the OWS or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna (or a 50 ohm terminator) is connected, otherwise the wireless module(s) may be damaged. ◗ Usage in specific environments: – Do not operate any wireless equipment near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment. – The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited to the constraints posed by the safety directors or such environments. – The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). – The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital. ◗ The Strix OWS must only be used with Strix-approved components and antennas, or equivalent. OWS Field Installation OWS Field Installation Planning Your Installation To ensure safe and durable wiring, the installation of the Strix OWS must follow the appropriate electrical and building codes. Observe the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, unless local codes in your area take precedence over the NEC code. Local Guidelines The Strix OWS is a radio device and therefore susceptible to interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these simple guidelines to optimize product performance: ◗ Install the OWS in an area where trees, buildings, and large steel structures do not obstruct radio signals to and from the antenna(s). Direct line-of-sight operation is always best. ◗ Install the OWS away from microwave ovens or other devices operating in the 2.4 GHz range. ◗ Install the OWS away from other possible source of 2.4 GHz WLAN interference, such as cordless phones, home surveillance equipment, frequency-hopping (FHSS) and DSSS Local Area Network transceivers, electronic news gathering video links, radars, amateur radios, land mobile radio services, local government sties (for example, law enforcement), fixed microwave services, local TV transmission, and private fixed point transmitters. Site Surveys Due to variations in product configuration, placement, and the physical environment, each installation is unique. Before installing the Strix OWS, we recommend that you perform a site survey to determine the optimum placement of the product to achieve the best possible range, coverage and network performance. Consider the following points: ◗ Data Rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum wireless range is achieved at the lowest data rate. A decrease in receiver threshold sensitivity occurs as wireless data increases. ◗ Antenna Type and Placement—Using the correct antenna configuration is a critical factor when trying to maximize wireless range. As a general rule, the range increases in proportion to the antenna height and gain. ◗ Physical Environment—Clear or open areas offer better wireless coverage than closed or filled areas. The less cluttered the operating environment, the greater the range. ◗ Obstructions—A physical obstruction, such as a building or tree, can block or hinder wireless services. Avoid placing antennas in locations where there is an obstruction between the sending and receiving antennas. ◗ Building Materials—Wireless penetration is influenced by the building materials used in construction. For example, drywall construction permits greater range than concrete blocks. Steel and alloy materials can be a barrier to wireless signals. ◗ Diversity—The Strix OWS supports RX diversity, which requires two antennas. Power Source The Strix OWS supports both AC and DC input power. OWS Field Installation OWS Field Installation Installing the OWS Enclosure This section provides instructions for mounting the OWS enclosure. Mounting the OWS on a Vertical Pole Parts Required ◗ OWS enclosure. ◗ Pole. ◗ 2 vertical mounting brackets. ◗ 4 screws and 4 spacers, for attaching the mounting brackets to the OWS enclosure. ◗ 2 U-bolt assemblies, for mounting the OWS enclosure to a standard 1 7/8 inch diameter steel pole. ◗ 2 straps, for mounting the OWS enclosure to a pole with a diameter greater than 1 7/8 inches.

For a standard 1 7/8 inch diameter steel pole installation, use the 2 U-bolt assemblies to attach the enclosure to the pole via the vertical mounting brackets—finger tighten only. If installing the OWS on a wider pole (for example, a utility pole), go directly to Step 8—skip Steps 3 through 6. Tip: You may find it easier to loosely attach the U-bolts to the brackets, then slide the completed enclosure assembly over the pole (instead of holding the enclosure against the pole and attaching each U-bolt separately). U-Bolt Assembly (x2) Includes: ◗ U-bolt ◗ Washers (2) ◗ Nuts (2) 5. Adjust the OWS enclosure to the desired position on the pole (up and down or rotational). OWS Field Installation OWS Field Installation 6. Use a 7/16 inch nut wrench to tighten the U-bolts (4 nuts) and secure the OWS enclosure in place. Tighten all four nuts to 10–12 lbf.ft (1.38–1.66 kgf.m). When tightening the U-bolts, ensure that the bolts are not twisted—the ends of each U-bolt should be protruding through the bracket evenly (the same distance). Tighten (4 places) 7. Check that the U-bolts are tight and that the OWS enclosure is securely anchored to the pole. OWS Field Installation OWS Field Installation Straps (x2) 8. For poles wider than 1 7/8 inch diameter, use two straps (hose clamps)—not provided. Feed one strap through each of the vertical mounting brackets. Recommended straps: Type 301 SS with Type 305 SS screw, 3.125 x 6 inches, available from McMaster-Carr (part number 54155K36). 9. Loosely attach the OWS enclosure to the pole with the 2 straps. Adjust the enclosure to the desired position on the pole (up and down or rotational). Use a flat blade screwdriver or 5/16 inch nut driver to tighten both straps to 10–12 lbf.ft (1.38–1.66 kgf.m).

Mount the OWS enclosure to any wall surface, ensuring that the unit is level and secure (4 places). If mounting the enclosure to a masonry wall, you will need a power drill, masonry drill bit, and wall plugs. OWS Field Installation OWS Field Installation Installing Antennas This section provides instructions for installing and connecting antennas. The antennas shown in this section are a representative sample only and are provided as a guideline for installation—your specific antenna(s) may be different, in which case refer to the instructions provided with the antenna(s). Antenna Warning Antennas must be installed by a trained professional installer only. Do not locate any antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where the antenna can come into contact with such circuits. When installing antennas, take extreme care not to come into contact with such electrical circuits, as they can cause serious injury or death. For the correct installation and grounding of antennas, please refer to national and local codes (for example, US:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810; in Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Applying Power Before an Antenna is Connected Do not apply power to the transmitter until the antenna is connected, otherwise permanent damage may result. Strong RF Fields are Present When the unit is operation, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF fields are present when the transmitter is ON. Notes About Antenna Installations Read the following notes before installing any antenna. ◗ The system installer should always ensure that antenna radiation patterns do not overlap. ◗ A sector antenna should point towards the center of the sector covered by the antenna. ◗ Fixed point-to-point backhaul antennas should point towards the desired Strix Systems Access/One® Network device intended for the backhaul connection. ◗ Unused antenna ports must be terminated with a 50 ohm terminator. ◗ Only antennas approved by Strix Systems (or equivalent) may be used with the Access/One® Network Outdoor Wireless System (OWS). ◗ Only one antenna may be used on each antenna port. ◗ When installing antennas that require mounting brackets and U-bolts, it is easier to loosely attach the U-bolts to the brackets, then slide the completed antenna assembly over the pole (instead of holding the assembly against the pole and attaching each U-bolt separately—mounting brackets are shipped with the U-bolts pre-assembled. For this reason, do not install an omni antenna at the top of the pole before installing any directional/sectored antennas that will reside below it. OWS Field Installation OWS Field Installation ◗ Depending on the selected antenna(s) for your application, it may be necessary to configure the output power of your OWS 2400 or OWS 3600 product. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the output power is set correctly for the chosen antenna(s). To set the output power, go to Appendix I: Setting the Output Power on page 32. Operation of the OWS 2400 or OWS 3600 in a manner other than as represented here is a violation of FCC rules.
