QUICK SETUP GUIDE
Read through these instructions fully before doing anything!
Using the instructions provided, configure the radio settings before installing outdoors.
Mount the optional mounting arm to an earth-grounded mast measuring approximately 1.5
to 2.5 inches in diameter. The mast must be securely mounted to the mast.
Attach the radio to the dish antenna mounting arm using the supplied “V” brackets and
nuts. The unit case must be grounded to earth via the bracket hardware.
WARNING
USE EXTREME CARE WHEN INSTALLING ANTENNAS NEAR POWER LINES.
Construct or purchase a shielded twisted-pair (STP) CAT5 straight-through eight-conductor
Ethernet cable terminated with shielded RJ45 connectors long enough to go from the radio
along the mast or wall to the building entry point. Use conduit and a drip loop as
appropriate in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
Carefully connect the cable to the unit RJ45 input, tightening the flange around the cable
or conduit.
Install the Junction Box indoors near the entry point into the building. Plug the Ethernet
cable going to the radio into the ODU port (located above the power input). Plug the 20 V
wall mount adapter into the wall and then into the power input. This step will be
completed successfully when both LEDs illuminate steadily after approximately thirty
seconds.
Align the antenna for the desired coverage pattern. The elevation beamwidth is 10
degrees and the azimuth beamwidth is 60 degrees.
After the alignment is completed, fasten all nuts and bolts securely. Use cable ties on all
cables to prevent movement in windy conditions.
10 For protection against potential lightning damage, use an Ethernet lightning surge arrestor
in line with the STP cable at the entry point to the building. Install according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE TRANSMITTER UNTIL THE ANTENNA IS
CONNECTED. PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY RESULT.

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 multipoint 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.

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).

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 stepby-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.

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 eightconductor 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.
