System Description: The M5800SB-AP-60 is a part of the SunStream5800 Broadband Access Solution. Specifically, the M5800SB-AP-60 is a broadband wireless Internet access point designed for sending and receiving Ethernet-based data traffic in a point to multi-point configuration and presents an alternative to conventional wiring which may be impractical and/or too slow. An Access Point can manage up to five hundred Subscriber Units per sector. A sector is defined a 60 degree coverage area that an Access Point’s integrated antenna “sees”. The system utilizes robust spread-spectrum technology to reduce susceptibility to interference. The typical Access Point installation consists of one or more M5800SB-AP-60 radios that are mounted outdoors and one or more Junction Boxes that are mounted indoors. Each Junction Box provides power to the radio by injecting the power onto the unused pairs of an Ethernet cable. The Access Point is aligned towards the service area. The coverage area will depend on the unit mounting height and down tilt, but in general it is a 10-degree (elevation) by 60-degree (azimuth) projection perpendicular from the unit’s radome onto the service area. Items you will need to supply: Certain items are not included with the Access Point Kit and you will need to provide these items for a successful installation. These items are listed below: One (1) length of straight through CAT5 cable, not to exceed 50 meters, to connect the Subscriber Unit Radio to the Junction Box. This cable will carry Ethernet traffic and power.
Access Point Manual Page 4 of 9 SunStream Wireless, a division of Trango Systems, Inc. Copyright © 2001 One (1) length of CAT5 cable, not to exceed 50 meters, to carry Ethernet traffic. This cable will be connected one on end to the Junction Box and the other end to a Network Interface Card (NIC); i.e., router and/or PC (depending on wiring). Appropriate hardware tools such as adjustable wrench, Ethernet crimping tool, wire-cutter/stripper, Philips screwdriver and/or ladder. Lastly, access to a laptop PC will be useful to poll the serial port of the Subscriber Unit radio for setup and troubleshooting. The PC should be running Windows95 or later and have a free COM port and a serial interface utility (e.g., HyperTerminal). Installers may wish to purchase the CBLDAT-1 (this is a serial port to RJ11 converter cable).

Access Point Manual Page 7 of 9 SunStream Wireless, a division of Trango Systems, Inc. Copyright © 2001 Installation: Typically, the service provider will program the radio and professionally install the entire system. However, if you are installing the system yourself, below is a step-by-step installation procedure to guide you. FIRST STEP: RADIO SET-UP PRIOR TO INSTALLATION Before installing the hardware, you must set up the radio operating parameters and load the initial subscriber unit information into the database. The following steps will guide you through this process. 1) Obtain the SunStream5800 BAS Setup Wizard™ program, .CFG file diskette, and serial interface cable (CBLDAT-1). The cable will only be required during setup. 2) Load the SunStream5800 BAS Setup Wizard™ program onto a PC or laptop. 3) Connect the ODU port on the Junction Box to the Access Point with a short section of eight-conductor UTP CAT5 network cable. 4) Connect the serial port end of the CBLDAT-1 to the PC or laptop serial port; the other end will be connected to an RJ11 jack inside the Access Point. 5) Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the access door (you will re-attach the access door once setup is complete). Inside, you will find an RJ11 jack (phone connector interface). 6) Connect the free end of the CBLDAT-1 to the phone connector interface. 7) First, plug the Power Adapter into the Junction Box and then into a 120 VAC wall outlet. 8) Wait thirty seconds for the unit to power up. The LEDs on the Junction Box should both be glowing solid. 9) Go to your laptop or PC and click on the wizard program icon. 10) Click on the “Serial Port” button, choose the appropriate COM port, and enter the password “sunstream”. This is the default password the unit is shipped with and should be changed before the unit is put into service. 11) Click the “Connect” button. 12) The System Information page screen will now appear, displaying “PG-SYSINFO” in the bottom right-hand corner. 13) Click the “Load Configuration” button to install any predefined configuration files that the may have already been set up. NOTE: If no .CFG files have been set up, the settings may be individually modified from the wizard or the default .CFG file may be modified. Please see the Access Point Wizard Manual for details on this procedure 14) A dialog box pops up prompting for the .CFG file. Locate the .CFG file on the diskette provided or download it from the web. Once the file is located, highlight it and click on the “open” button. 15) The program should return to the PG-SYSINFO page and show the new values just loaded from the .CFG file. 16) Click “Reboot Unit” and wait one minute. 17) Exit the program by clicking on the “Quit” button. 18) The unit is now ready for service and may be powered down. All settings loaded will be retained in the non-volatile memory.

Copyright © 2001 19) Before any communications with subscriber units will occur, subscribers must be loaded into the unit’s database. Log into the unit again using the AP wizard program and select “Wizard Tree” from the “PG-SYSINFO” page. 20) Select “Add Entry” under the “SU Database Management” heading, then click “Run”. 21) Enter the appropriate information for the subscriber. 22) Select “Write SU Database to Flash Memory” to save the changes. 23) Repeat steps 20-22 until all subscribers are added to the Access Point’s database table. You can now exit the wizard. SECOND STEP: MOUNTING PROCEDURES Mount the Access Point(s) units above human and mechanical traffic, aiming it in the general direction of the service area. A typical rigging situation would include a steel mast, ten feet tall, 23/8 inches in diameter, mounted on top of a building. Make sure that the mast is well grounded to earth ground with an 8 AWG or larger wire. For best performance, the antenna must be fifteen to twenty feet above all obstacles in the line of sight to any subscriber unit. Keep the transmission path as open as possible. Objects such as walls and metallic objects near the transmission path reflect signals and may reduce the transmission distance. Use standard outdoor-to-indoor drip loop and grounding per National Electrical Code and electrical conduit if appropriate and follow the steps below: 1) Mount the Access Point on the mounting pole as shown in Figure 1. 2) You will now prepare a CAT5 (STP) run from the Access Point’s RJ45 connector to the Junction Box’s ODU port. Connect the STP run (no longer than 50 meters) when using the standard 20 V supply (found in the ODU-PKIT-1) or 100 meters (when using a qualified 24-volt supply). Use straight-through eight-conductor CAT5 cable, making sure that the RJ45 terminations are shielded. 3) Connect the Junction Box to an interior wall near the entry point of the cable. 4) Plug the STP cable into the ODU port of the Junction Box as shown in Figure 2. 5) Plug the wall-mount power adapter into the Junction Box. 6) Plug the wall-mount adapter into the wall outlet. 7) The LEDs on the Junction Box should both be on, indicating that the power is coming into the Junction Box properly and that the Access Point is powered up properly. If this is not the case, check the wiring.
