WM5030-OD MOUNTING GUIDE 2 2. HOW TO CONNECT In order to configure WM5030-OD outdoor modem, please take the following steps: 1. Power is supplied thru the 8P8C Ethernet cable to outdoor modem, therefore it is important to use 8P8C Ethernet cable of adequate length to connect the RJ-45 connector located at the bottom of the outdoor modem and the “Data & Power Out” port of PoE adapter. 2. Connect the gray Ethernet cable between the “data in” port of the PoE adapter and subscriber’s personal computer. 3. Plug the PoE adapter power cable to power outlet 4. Plug the OMK (Outdoor modem Monitoring Kit) to OMK connector Figure 2. Typical Installation Diagram
WM5030-OD MOUNTING GUIDE 3 3. BEFORE YOU START 3.1 Mounting Location Choosing a good mounting location for the outdoor modem is important because it affects the reliability of the wireless link and maximum data rates it can support. The most important considerations are distance from base station and clearance from obstacles. The mounting location can be a wall, ceiling, the top or side of a building, or on a tower providing a clear unobstructed line-of-sight to the base station to provide the best performance. Line-of-sight to the base station is not required, but provides best performance for subscriber. With the high gain panel antenna outdoor modem configuration, the location must allow the antenna to be oriented in the proper direction. The outdoor modem can be located in a convenient location that minimizes the cable length to the outdoor modem. When choosing mounting location, try to avoid the following common obstacles:  Trees and large plants: Remember to include allowance of future tree growth.  Man-made obstacles: A large round container such as a gas storage reservoir or water tower that is partially in the path causing some blocking. These obstacles may also reflect some energy, which can interfere with other receivers. Square or rectangular objects in or near the path have rectangular surfaces that can block and diffract signals over and around them. Make sure the following cable route requirements are met before beginning the installation:
WM5030-OD MOUNTING GUIDE 4  Identify cable routes, building entry points, and any special routing or support requirements (conduits, bracing, cable trays, safety structures, and so on). Make sure the total cable length between the outdoor modem and the PoE is no longer than 100 meters.  Identify necessary floor, roof, or wall penetrations and specify the locations.  Document existing grounding system and connection requirements for new equipment.  Refer to electrical codes for your local regulations 3.2 Lighting Protection In outdoor installations, your outdoor modem can be damaged by surges that develop on the antenna and cable from close lightning strikes. You can use a lightning arrestor to help protect your outdoor modem from static electricity and lightning-induced surges; however, an arrestor will not prevent damage from a direct lightning hit. 3.3 Safety Precautions  For your safety, and to help you properly install hardware, please read and follow these safety precautions.  If you are installing an outdoor modem for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek assistance from a person with skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of electrical equipment and has received safety training on the hazards involved.  Keep safety as well as performance in mind when selecting your installation site. Remember: electric power lines and phone lines look alike. Always assume that overhead lines are very dangerous.
WM5030-OD MOUNTING GUIDE 5  Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to look at your proposed installation. This is a reasonable request considering the danger.  Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful rising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Assign each person a specific task, and ensure that they know what to do and when to do it. Put one person in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.  When installing your antenna, remember: z Do not use a metal ladder. z Do not work on a wet or windy day. z Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.  If the assembly starts to fall, get away from it and let it fall. Remember: the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are excellent conductors of electrical current and may touch power lines.  If any part of the outdoor modem comes in contact with a power line, don’t touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They can remove it safely. If an accident occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. 3.4 Tool  Spanner  Flat screwdriver  Crimpers  Cable stripping tool  Cutting tools  RJ-45 connectors  Category 5E Ethernet cable of proper length (8P8C, 24 AWG)  Cable tester
WM5030-OD MOUNTING GUIDE 6 4. MOUNTING WM5030-OD 4.1 Polarization Polarization helps reduce interference because the antenna tends to reject cross-polarized signals from other sources. Please contact your base station vendor for information on polarization. Orient WM5030-OD according to the base station polarization. For example, BTS use the vertical polarization for antenna 0 (preamble path), and horizontal polarization for antenna 1 (secondary path), the WM5030-OD should be mounted by vertical polarized for T/R path and horizontal polarized for R path. If BTS uses the dual slant 45 　polarization, and +45 degree for antenna 0 (preamble path), and -45 degree for antenna 1 (secondary path), the WM5030-OD should be mounted by -45 degree polarized for T/R path and +45 degree polarized for R path. Figure 3. Polarization of WM5030-OD
WM5030-OD MOUNTING GUIDE 7 4.2 Mounting  Mounting on pole A. The metal bands supplied with WM5030-OD, support pole diameter of 75mm~90mm. Run the metal bands thru the elevation clamp and the pole to fix the mounting unit to the pole. Do not tight the screws fully at this point yet, but tight enough to support the weight of WM5030-OD. You will need to orient the WM5030-OD for best reception later. B. Fasten the mounting clamp to the WM5030-OD with screws provided. C. Fasten WM5030-OD on the pole by fastening bolts and nuts provided thru mounting clamp and elevation clamp. D. Connect Category 5E Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector located at the bottom of WM5030-OD. (refer to appendix) E. Connect OMK (please refer to next section for details of OMK) to the OMK connector located at the bottom of WM5030-OD. Make sure the power LED is on. Please check Ethernet cable and PoE connection if the power LED is not on. F. OMK (Outdoor modem Monitoring Kit) provides you the signal strength (CINR) with CINR LED. Orient WM5030-OD when you have more than 7 or more CINR LED off. G. If base station is nearby, and locates higher or lower than WM5030-OD, then adjust the tilt of WM5030-OD accordingly. Use the elevation indication labels on the elevation clamp to find the best tilt for best CINR.  Wall mount A. Connect Category 5E Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector located at the bottom of WM5030-OD (please refer to appendix)
WM5030-OD MOUNTING GUIDE 8 B. Connect OMK (please refer to next section for details of OMK) to the OMK connector located at the bottom of WM5030-OD. Make sure the power LED is on.
