2 | Chapter 1 IntroductionSolution OverviewA SkyPilot Network delivers a wireless, end-to-end broadband solution that seamlessly supports high-capacity, high-coverage mesh networks. Designed for managed-access networks and service providers, the SkyPilot network takes broadband wireless the “last mile” with a cost-effective, robust infrastructure solution.Based on a high-performance architecture that includes intelligent antenna arrays, the SkyPilot network delivers a dynamic broadband solution.SkyPilot wireless devices are simple to install and easily fit into any type of wireless environment—metropolitan, business, or home.The auto-discovery and rapid provisioning features of a SkyPilot wireless mesh network can greatly reduce deployment and maintenance costs. Multiple topology options and network scalability create intriguing options for rapidly expanding a metro Wi-Fi customer base.Mesh NetworkThe typical configuration for a SkyPilot network is a mesh topology, which uses SkyPilot Extenders to extend range and add network flexibility. In a mesh configuration, subscribers can either connect directly to the SkyPilot Gateway Pro or connect indirectly via SkyPilot Extenders (see Figure 1-1). In addition to adding range, a mesh network allows connections from locations where obstructions prevent line-of-sight access to a SkyPilot Gateway Pro.Mesh networks are ideal for dense subscriber environments, for filling in coverage “holes,” and for reaching subscribers in areas where RF communication is obstructed by hills, trees, buildings, or other obstacles.

4 | Chapter 1 IntroductionSkyPilot Gateway & SkyPilot Gateway ProThe SkyPilot Gateway and Gateway Pro operate as a base stations for a wireless mesh network. They provide an interface between the wired infrastructure and a wireless network of subscribers who enjoy secure, high-speed access to the Internet.A SkyPilot wireless network requires at least one SkyPilot Gateway or SkyPilot GatewayPro, for operation. If necessary, you can add additional SkyPilot Gateway Pros to increase network capacity or provide redundancy.A SkyPilot Gateway or Gateway Pro resides at a location with easy access to wired infrastructure—usually a POP (point of presence) or data center.The SkyPilot Gateway Pro uses an advanced, second-generation electronically steerable antenna to deliver higher overall throughput. In addition, it XXX...SkyPilot Extender, Extender DualBandSkyPilot Extenders and SkyPilot Extender DualBands provide a cost-effective way to extend range and balance network loads by operating as repeaters to extend the wireless range of a SkyPilot Gateway Pro (see Figure 1-1). You can add a SkyPilot Extender device to your network to expand your coverage footprint and provide redundancy through SkyPilot’s mesh networking features. SkyPilot Extender devices, including DualBands, can provide subscribers with a direct connection to the wireless network via the device’s Ethernet port.SkyPilot Extender DualBand is a dual-radio solution that combines SkyPilot’s long-range, high-capacity 5 GHz mesh backhaul with a high-powered 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g access point that allows service providers and municipalities to offer standard Wi-Fi services, for targeted hot zones or ubiquitous coverage patterns.For optimum performance, install the SkyPilot Extender in an elevated location such as a roof, tower, or utility pole.

SkyPilot Connector | 5SkyPilot ConnectorSkyPilot Connectors link your subscribers to the SkyPilot wireless network. An Ethernet port on the device allows a connection to a subscriber’s computer, or to a local area network (LAN) via a data switch or router. Designed for installation by the service provider, the SkyPilot Connector attaches to an external structure such as an eave, roof, or pole. The SkyPilot Connector DualBand offers the same features as a SkyPilot Connector, plus a Wi-Fi access point that enables service providers and municipalities to provide standard 802.11 wireless access, for targeted hot zones, or for dense coverage patterns.

12 | Chapter 3 Planning Your SkyPilot NetworkDeployment Process OverviewTable 3-1 summarizes the stages of SkyPilot network planning and deployment.Network PlanningIdentify Equipment LocationsDeployment of a SkyPilot network starts with a site survey to help you identify the devices you need and choose optimum locations for installation.Identifying locations for the SkyPilot Gateway Pro and SkyPilot Connectors is straightforward. For the SkyPilot Gateway Pro, location depends on proximity to existing network infrastructure and site elevation. SkyPilot Connectors are placed at subscriber sites—homes or offices.Table 3-1. Stages of deployment Stage DescriptionIdentify equipment locationsIdentify and prepare locations for installation.Choose an operating frequencyChoose a “clean” center frequency that permits interference-free operation of devices.Provision SkyPilot devices Choose a provisioning mode for the devices: manual or automatic.Provision the devices. (For automatic provisioning, install operating system and SkyPilot EMS software.)Install SkyPilot devices Install the devices, beginning with SkyPilot Gateway Pro devices and building out.Verify connectivity Confirm that the SkyPilot Gateway Pro is online.Confirm that installed SkyPilot Connectors and SkyPilot Extenders have established a link with the SkyPilot Gateway Pro.Review link characteristics and network performance.

14 | Chapter 3 Planning Your SkyPilot NetworkGPS and the SkyPilot Gateway ProThe SkyPilot Gateway Pro uses a GPS (Global Positioning System) signal for synchronization with other SkyPilot devices on the network. The strongest GPS signal is available outdoors, where the device has an unobstructed view of the sky. (For indoor installations, such as for configuration and testing, the optimum location is on a windowsill or other opening with access to the sky.) A separate GPS antenna is included with your SkyPilot Gateway Pro. It should be mounted above the SkyPilot Gateway Pro, where is has a clear view of the sky.Upon startup, a SkyPilot Gateway Pro searches for a GPS signal, and if the device can’t detect a signal, it will be unable to complete startup and won’t establish wireless connections with other devices. You can configure a SkyPilot Gateway Pro even if the device can’t detect a GPS signal. While the device is searching for the GPS signal, press the TILDE key (~) to bypass the search; the device will then proceed through the startup sequence.NOTE The GPS search should be bypassed only for device configuration, not for standard operation. Without a GPS signal, data will not be reliably transmitted between devices.The LEDs on the base of the device will confirm availability of a GPS signal. Guidelines for Adding SkyPilot ExtendersMultiple factors can affect wireless network performance—and dictate the need for SkyPilot Extenders.Physical distance—Are all your subscriber sites close enough to the SkyPilot Gateway Pro for radio communications? If a SkyPilot Gateway Pro is installed in a high location with a clear sight line to subscriber sites, it can maintain radio communications with SkyPilot Connectors or SkyPilot Extenders at greater distances.Elevation—There is a correlation between range and device elevation. By installing SkyPilot devices on raised locations, such as towers or tops of buildings, you can avoid RF obstructions that can occur at ground level, thereby extending the range at which the devices can operate normally.

Network Planning | 15You should install SkyPilot devices at similar elevation because large elevation differences may have an adverse impact on signal strength.Obstructions—An optimum link between a SkyPilot Gateway Pro and a SkyPilot Connector requires a clear line of sight. Obstructions, both artificial and natural, can reduce effective network range or block radio communications entirely.Type of SkyPilot Connector—Because it’s typically placed outside and at higher elevation than the indoor connector, the outdoor version of the SkyPilot Connector provides greater wireless range than the indoor version.If there are obstructions blocking subscriber access (as in Figure 3-1) or if there are subscriber sites beyond the distance that a wireless link can maintain, you need to add one or more SkyPilot Extenders to the network.Figure 3-1. Using a SkyPilot Extender for network extension behind an obstruction

16 | Chapter 3 Planning Your SkyPilot NetworkPreparing SkyPilot Extender SitesIf SkyPilot Extenders are required, perform a survey of possible sites before beginning installation. For a detailed discussion of site requirements, refer to SkyGateway/SkyExtender Installation and Setup.For optimum service, attach SkyPilot Extenders to elevated, fixed locations with easy and continuous access to power.Choose an Operating FrequencyAll the devices on a SkyPilot network operate on a single frequency. Before beginning the installation, visit the deployment area and identify an optimum operating frequency. Use a spectrum analyzer or other frequency-planning tool to identify the best available frequency for the SkyPilot wireless network—a “clean” center frequency that permits interference-free operation of devices.Co-Located SkyPilot Gateway Pro DevicesIf you put two of ‘em together, you.....

Provisioning | 17Configuring the SkyPilot Gateway ProThis chapter provides instructions for configuring the SkyPilot Gateway Pro and then performing the physical installation.You should test and configure you SkyPilot Gateway Pro on the bench before deploying it to the field. To do so, you will need to connect cables and the GPS antenna.Chapter HighlightsCablingPowering upConfiguring the SkyPilot Gateway ProAccessing the command-line interfaceProvisioningTo provision your SkyPilot Gateway Pro, you must:Choose a provisioning mode: automatic or manual. Prepare the network infrastructure. For automatic provisioning, you must install SkyPilot software on a supported operating system to create your Network Management System (NMS)4

18 | Chapter 4 Configuring the SkyPilot Gateway ProCablingEthernet cabling provides power and data connectivity for the SkyPilot Gateway Pro. Serial cabling provides connectivity for troubleshooting and local configuration. Figure 4-1. Cable Connections and Mounting HolesTo install cabling for Ethernet, and optionally serial connections:1Remove the access plate from the back of the unit.2Connect the Ethernet cable.aUnscrew the black cable clamp and remove the grey rubber gasket.bThread your Ethernet cable through the black plastic cap and then the grey gasket. In most cases, you can fit the RJ-45 plug through the gasket, or you can thread the cable through first and them crimp on a connector.Ethernet JackSerial PortCable ClampSerial Port Access HoleUpper Mount HolesLower Mount HolesGPS Mount HolesGround LugGPS SMA Connector

Cabling | 19cThread the Ethernet cable through the connector body and plug it into the RJ-45 receptacle on the circuit board.dMakes sure there is a little slack in the cable inside the unit, to act as a strain relief.eInsert the grey gasket back into the connector, and then tighten the cap until the cable is securely held. 3Connect the serial cable. This is done in the same manner as the Ethernet cable. You must first remove the plug and installed the supplied cable clamp. The plug unthreads; use a large flat-blade screwdriver or a coin.4Re-attach the cover.5Use cable ties or Velcro wraps to secure all the cabling against strain.Figure 4-2. Exploded View of Cable Clamp AssemblyRubber PlugNutCat 5 Cable

20 | Chapter 4 Configuring the SkyPilot Gateway ProGPS Antenna1Attach the GPS antenna bracket to the top of the unit, on the back, using two small Phillips screws. This is shown in Figure 4-3.2Connect the GPS antenna cable to the SMA connector on the unit bottom.3The GPS antenna is magnetic, and will stick to the mounting bracket.4Temporarily place the GPS antenna where it can pick up a GPS signal. You can use a hand-held GPS device, such as an iPhone, to determine if there is adequate signal strength in your location.Figure 4-3. GPS bracket

Powering Up | 21Powering Up1Connect a power cord to the power supply, and plug it in.2Connect the Ethernet cable from the SkyPilot Gateway Pro to the port labeled “Output” on the power supply. 3Connect an Ethernet cable from the port labeled “Input” to your network.Monitoring the Power-On SequenceWhen the SkyPilot Gateway Pro is powered up, it starts a power-on sequence. You can monitor itby observing the pair of LED lights on the back of the device. The power-on sequence may take up to 15 minutes, depending on how quickly the device can acquire a GPS signal.NOTE The SkyPilot Gateway Pro must have access to a GPS signal to complete its power-on sequence and start making wireless network connections. Depending on your SkyPilot network configuration, the device may be unable to connect to the network until the device has been configured.

22 | Chapter 4 Configuring the SkyPilot Gateway ProConfiguring the SkyPilot Gateway ProTo operate on the wireless mesh network, the SkyPilot Gateway Pro requires a network configuration. A SkyPilot Gateway Pro will not transmit a wireless signal until it is configured, and it will not be able to connect to other network devices without a configuration.SkyPilot offers two modes for provisioning devices with a configuration:Automatic—Requires the use of SkyPilot EMS software to create configurations that an unattended central server can distribute to devices on the wireless mesh network. Although automatic provisioning requires more initial setup time than manual provisioning, it greatly simplifies the administration of a growing network.Detailed procedures for using EMS software are provided in SkyPilot Network Administration, available from the SkyPilot website at www.skypilot.com/support/. Manual—Manual provisioning permits the configuration of only a single device at a time, creating the minimum settings required for a wireless link and storing them in the device’s flash (nonvolatile) memory. Manual provisioning is a logical choice if you’re installing a test network or rolling out a small-scale installation that isn’t expected to expand.For more information about provisioning modes, refer to Getting Started with the SkyPilot Network, available from the SkyPilot website at www.skypilot.com/support/.Accessing the Command-Line InterfaceSkyPilot devices include a command-line interface which you can use for manual provisioning and troubleshooting.You can connect to a device and access its command-line interface through Telnet over an Ethernet connection or via a terminal session from a console connected to the device’s RJ-45 serial port. The default IP address is 192.168.0.2After logging in (user: admin; password: public), you can enter commands at the command prompt.

Configuring the SkyPilot Gateway Pro | 23For detailed access instructions for the command-line interface, refer to the SkyPilot Command-Line Interface Reference.Manually Provisioning DevicesManual provisioning stores settings in the device’s flash memory, where they remain available for recall when the device starts up.NOTE If you’re installing a device in a location that poses difficulties, consider delaying the final mounting until you can confirm that provisioning was successful.Table 4-2 summarizes the steps required to manually provision a device.Table 4-2. Manually Provisioning a Device (Page 1 of 2)Step Refer to1Decide whether to provision the device using the command-line interface or the Web interface.(For DualBand/ access points, you must use the Web interface.)”Choosing a Manual Provisioning Method” in SkyPilot Network Administration2Prepare the device for installation by installing the necessary cabling, attaching antennas (for DualBands), and readying the device for service.Do not install the device yet.The appropriate installation manual:SkyGateway/SkyExtender Installation and SetupSkyConnector Indoor InstallationSkyConnector Outdoor Installation3Power on the device.

Install Devices | 27Installing the SkyPilot Gateway ProThis chapter provides instructions for configuring the SkyPilot Gateway Pro and then performing the physical installation.Install DevicesYou can ensure optimum operation—and reduce administrative overhead—by installing your network devices in this order: SkyPilot Network Management SystemSkyPilot Gateway ProSkyPilot Extenders (optional)SkyPilot Connectors.You install the SkyPilot Gateway Pro first because, as the base station of the SkyPilot wireless network, it must be present in order for other devices to establish network links. When provisioned and powered on, the SkyPilot Gateway Pro immediately starts transmitting hello beacons that SkyPilot Extenders and Sky Connectors use to form links.After installing the SkyPilot Gateway Pro, you add SkyPilot Extenders (if required) and then SkyPilot Connectors. Upon powering on, each device responds to the base station’s hello beacon and starts forming links with the SkyPilot Gateway Pro. Each device attempts to establish as many links as possible before choosing an optimum path.After establishing network links, SkyPilot Extenders on your network also begin transmitting hello beacons, extending the range of beacons available to other devices. (SkyPilot Connectors do not transmit hello beacons.)5

28 | 5 Installing the SkyPilot Gateway ProMountingThe SkyPilot Gateway Pro uses two hinged mounting brackets to allow it to be tilted up or down slightly, as needed.Figure 5-1. Mounted SkyPilot Gateway Pro. To mount the SkyPilot Gateway Pro:IMPORTANTIt is the installer’s responsibility to verify that the support pole and its installation method are of sufficient strength to withstand onsite weather conditions. (The supplied mounting bracket and screws are certified to withstand a 150 mph wind force.)1Attach one of the pole-clamp assemblies to the pole at the height you want for the top of the unit. Make sure the threaded holes are facing up. Use the long bolts in the kit.

Mounting | 29Figure 5-2. Pole Clamps: Top View at Left; Bottom View at Right2Attach the second pole-clamp assembly to the pole, about nine inches lower than the first. Again, make sure the threaded holes are facing up.Figure 5-3. Pole Clamps Attached to Pole3Attach the hinged brackets to the SkyPilot Gateway Pro using the supplied 1/4-28 UNC bolts. These have hex heads. Do not use the Phillips-head screws. Use thread-locking compound.

30 | 5 Installing the SkyPilot Gateway ProThe brackets should be attached so that the body of the bracket is below the mounting holes. This, in turn, will orient the hook-tab, which is at the other end of the bracket, down.IMPORTANTThe double-hinged mounting bracket and the single-hinged bracket , together, allow you to tilt the unit. If you need to tilt it down, use the double-hinged bracket on top. If you need to tilt it up, use the double-hinged bracket on the bottom.IMPORTANTThe holes in the unit are fine-thread. DO NOT use 1/4-20 UNC (coarse thread) hardware in these holes.IMPORTANTThe SkyPilot Gateway Pro case is aluminum. Do no over-torque the mounting bolts.NOTE Your SkyPilot Gateway Pro can be wall-mounted. You will need lag bolts or other fasteners suitable for attaching to the wall.

Grounding Guidelines | 41Grounding GuidelinesThis appendix provides some guidelines for properly grounding the SkyPilot Gateway Pro. Proper grounding protects both your SkyPilot device and equipment connected to it. For the surge protection circuitry built into the SkyPilot equipment to be effective, proper grounding of the unit is necessary. This is especially true if you’re installing devices on tall structures, or in areas subject to lightning.NOTE The techniques described in this appendix are intended as general guidelines only and do not constitute a comprehensive guide covering all installation scenarios. For maximum protection, contact a qualified installation specialist who is familiar with your operating environments. If lightning is a threat in your area, consider a consultation with a lightning and transient protection specialist.General Grounding StrategyTo ensure optimum reliability, properly ground the metal base of the SkyPilot device. The most efficient way to ground the device is to use an 8 GA or larger wire to connect it to a ground point on the mounting structure or tower.The three most common ground points are:A cold-water pipe. Make sure it is well-connected to earth.The primary grounding point of the AC electrical system of the building.A 10-foot or longer copper-clad ground rod driven into the earth. For a tower with multiple legs, you need one ground rod per leg and a ground wire loop connecting each of the rods; see Figure 12.A

42 | Appendix A Grounding GuidelinesFigure 12. Ground wire loopMaking Connections “Gas-Tight”Regardless of the grounding point you use, make sure the connections are “gas-tight”—capable of retaining low resistance and integrity over time and with exposure to the elements.Use of an antioxide compound and proper sealing is essential. For protection against corrosion, wrap all connections with Scotch® 130C tape. Checking Cold-Water Pipe IntegrityIf you’re using a cold-water pipe for grounding, verify the integrity of the ground. In some cases, sections of metal cold-water pipes may have been repaired or extended with PVC material. PVC material or a dielectric union will render a cold-water pipe ground unacceptable for grounding. A

Adding Surge Protection | 43Measuring ResistanceVerify that there is no more than 5 ohms of resistance between any two ground points in the entire system. Also make sure that all ground points on a structure are tied together. For example, if you use a ground rod and a cold-water pipe as grounding points at different locations on the same structure, you must tie them together.Adding Surge ProtectionIf you’re installing a SkyPilot device in an area that’s subject to lightning storms, SkyPilot recommends installing a surge protection device (SPD) at both ends of the Ethernet cable—one at the SkyPilot device and one at the point of entry to a building or enclosure. SkyPilot offers SPDs with bracket and cabling designed for use with SkyPilot equipment. For more information, visit SkyPilot customer support at www.skypilot.com/support/ to view accessory guides for SkyPilot-branded surge protection solution. (You may also purchase SPDs from third-party vendors.)Grounding ChecklistWhen grounding a SkyPilot device, use the following checklist to confirm that your installation is adequately protected from power surges and lightning.Connect a ground wire from the SkyPilot device to a ground system on the building or tower.Use shielded CAT5 cabling and connect the drain wire of the shield to ground at the SkyPilot device. (Leave the other end of the drain wire unconnected.)Use the proper size down lead to connect a SkyPilot device on a roof or tower to the ground system of indoor equipment. Verify that all points of the ground system are tied together with less than 5 ohms resistance between any two points.A

44 | Appendix A Grounding GuidelinesRun the CAT5 cable inside the tower structure, tying the cable to the tower leg at every 4 feet of length. For increased protection, run the CAT5 cable through metallic conduit installed on the tower.Bleed off any static charge by installing a streamer-delaying, static-dissipation array above the SkyPilot device.Install all lightning and surge protection devices in accordance with UL 96A installation requirements for lightning protection systems and the NFPA 780 standard for lightning protection.A
