1. Overview
This manual covers basic configuration and installation of the Access5830 Subscriber Unit M5830S-SU-EXT. Since
this device requires manual power limit settings (for 5.25-5.35 GHz U-NII band operation only), it is classified by the
FCC as a professional install device. To be in compliance with FCC requirements, the radio must be installed with one
of several approved antennas listed in this document.
The M5830S-SU-EXT subscriber unit (SU) works in conjunction with the M5830S-AP-60 access point. Please see the
Access5830 User Manual for general information on overall system implementation, configuration, and management of
the access point. The Access5830 Users Manual also covers many important aspects of subscriber unit configuration and
management which is applicable to the M5830S-SU-EXT.
For brevity, the M5830S-SU will be referred to as the SU-EXT in this text.
2. FCC Information
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of

4. General Information
4.1 Contents
Each M5830S-SU-EXT radio comes equipped with the radio itself, a power-over-Ethernet (POE) J-Box, an AC adapter,
and mounting hardware for both pole and wall installation. The radio has two reverse-polarity SMA connectors on the
side for attachment to an external antenna. The MAC ID and Serial # are printed on a label on the back of the radio.
4.2 Connections
See Access5830 User Manual for detailed diagram for connecting radio to network or PC utilizing the power over
Ethernet (PoE) J-Box can cat-5 cables.
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY DC POWER TO THE M5830S-SU-EXT UNTIL THE ANTENNA IS ATTACHED
OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO THE RADIO MAY OCCUR.
5. Setting the Maximum RF Power
When installing M5830S-SU-EXT there are several FCC certified antennas options available. Due to FCC restrictions
the professional installer must manually set the maximum power for the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz U-NII band based upon which
antenna is being used. The table below shows the maximum power the radio must have to achieve an EIRP of 1 watt
(FCC limit). Only the antennas listed below are allowed to be used with the M5830S-SU-EXT.
Antenna Model Antenna Gain (incl/cable loss) Radio Max power setting
AD5830-23-D +24 dBi +6 dBm
AD5830-24-D +24 dBi +6 dBm
AD5830-27-D +27 dBi +3 dBm
SPD2-5.2 +27 dBi +3 dBm
SPD3-5.2 +30 dBi 0 dBm
SPD4-5.2 +33 dBi -3 dBm
Note that in all cases, Antenna Gain + Radio Max Power Setting = 30 dBm. Once set, the power leveling feature will
still operate normally, but the maximum EIRP will never exceed 1 watt (30 dBm).
NOTE: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT THE FCC
REQUIREMENTS DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE MET.
The telnet or serial port command to change the maximum power is:
uniimaxpower <max power in dBm>
The flash memory must be updated after running the command.
The command must be run on the M5830S-SU-EXT (via telnet or serial port session) prior to installing the antenna and
while the Opmode is OFF.
Example: To set the max power setting for the AD5830-23-D:
#> Uniimaxpower 6
#> Updateflash systemsetting
Note: The maximum RF power may be left at +22 dBm for the 5.725 to 5.85 GHz ISM band regardless of which antenna
is used. No manual setting is required.

To install the AD5830-24-D or AD5830-27-D DSS Style Dish antennas, please follow the instructions below. These
antennas are for low rise building installation only. Do not install in an area where high (>70 mph) winds are expected.

6.3 RADIOWAVES SPD5.2-X PRIME FOCUS DISH ANTENNAS
To install the SPD2-5.2, SPD3-5.2, or SPD4-5.2 Prime Focus Dish antennas, please follow the instructions supplied with
the antenna.
The Cable Kit CBLCOAX-7 (ordered separately) must be used with these antennas so that the Antenna may be mated to
the SMA Reverse Polarity connector on the Radio. The kit contains two Cable adapters and heat shrink tubing.
These antennas are designed for superior performance in tower installations that may be subject to high winds.
Radomes are available for installations in areas that receive heavy snowfall.
7. SU Antenna Alignment
To align the SU antenna for optimal performance, follow the procedure below.
Once the SU is installed and aimed in the general direction of the AP, it is time to perform an RSSI test to determine the
signal strength from the AP, and to precisely align the SU antenna for maximum signal strength.
SU Antenna Alignment Procedure
1. Ensure AP is in opmode AP
2. Telnet into the SU (while in opmode “OFF”) or access the radio via hyperterminal/serial port.
3. Type command RSSI <channel> <polarization> - Example RSSI 3 V (chan. 3, vertical polarization)
4. Telnet session screen will begin a continuous readout of the received signal strength.
5. As you view the RSSI reading, move the antenna in the horizontal and vertical planes until the maximum RSSI
reading is achieved. For short links you can expect an RSSI of –60 dBm or better. For longer links and RSSI
of –75 dBm is acceptable. Any RSSI of less than –80 dBm may be too weak for the radios to reliably associate
and pass data.
6. If it is not possible to receive an adequate RSSI reading, it may be necessary to reorient the AP (up/down,
left/right), to increase the output power of the AP, or to move the SU to a location with better line-of-sight
conditions to the AP.
Once you are satisfied with the RSSI reading, tighten down the antenna in the optimum position. To stop the RSSI
continuous readout, hit SPACE, then ENTER.
Note: The amber light on the bottom of the SU will also indicate RSSI according to the following parameters:
RSSI< -80dBm not lit
RSSI > -80dBm blinking.
RSSI ≥ -65dBm solid. (blink rate increases with signal strength.)
This concludes the installation process.
