Warnings and Advisories

General Advisory

Installers, operators and maintenance personnel must be familiar with the related safety

requirements before they attempt to install or operate the EUM3006.

It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that the public is not exposed to excessive

Radio Frequency (RF) levels. The applicable regulations can be obtained from local

authorities.

WARNING!

The EUM3006 Integrated Outdoor Modem must be properly

grounded. WaveRider assumes no liability for failure to

adhere to this recommendation or to recognized general

safety precautions.

WARNING!

To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, the EUM3006 must

be fix-mounted outdoors to provide a separation distance of

30cm (1 foot) or more from all persons to satisfy RF exposure

requirements. The distance is measured from the nearest

point of the modem to the human body. It is recommended

that the modem be installed in a location with minimal

pathway disruption by nearby personnel.

Important Safeguards

WARNING!

CAUTION: Do not open the EUM3006, since there are no user-

serviceable parts inside and opening the EUM3006 will void

its warranty. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

1. Read all these instructions before installing and operating the EUM3006.

2. Retain these instructions for future reference.

3. Heed all warnings on the EUM3006 and in these instructions.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use EUM3006 and PoE Injector near water.

6. Unplug EUM3006 and PoE Injector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Clean only

with a damp cloth.

xv APCD-LM048-1.3

7. Use only attachments recommended by WaveRider.

8. The fins and metal casing protect the EUM3006 from overheating to ensure reliable

operations. Do not cover the EUM3006 and PoE Injector. Do not place the EUM3006

or PoE Injector near or over a radiator, stove, heat register or other source of heat. Do

not place the EUM3006 and PoE Injector in a built-in installation such as a bookcase

or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. The EUM3006 has an outdoor

temperature rating, so it can handle a much larger range of temperatures than the

PoE injector. However, it is still possible to exceed the EUM3006 specifications by

improper placement or ventilation.

9. Operate the EUM3006 only from a 48 VDC PoE Mode B power source.

10. Operate the PoE Injector only from a 100 - 250 VAC, single phase, 47-63 Hz AC

power source. The PoE Injector is rated for indoor use only.

11. The PoE Injector is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, which will only fit into

a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the

plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not

defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.

12. Route the AC Power-supply cord and Ethernet cables so that they are not likely to be

walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular

attention to cord and cables at their plugs, convenience receptacles and the points

where the cords exit the equipment.

13. Provide strain relief for cables near their connections. This is typically done by leaving

a loop in the cable near the connection.

14. Ensure the system is properly grounded to provide some protection against voltage

surges and built-up static charges.

15. Do not locate the EUM3006 in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric

light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits. When

installing outdoors, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or

circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

16. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused

for long periods of time, unplug the Ethernet cable from the PoE injector to the

EUM3006 and unplug the PoE Injector from the wall outlet. If the Ethernet cable to the

EUM3006 goes through a PoE Lightning Arrestor, then disconnect the inside Ethernet

cable. This will power down the EUM3006.

17. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this increases the risk of fire or

electric shock.

18. Never push objects of any kind through openings in this wireless product as they may

touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric

shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the PoE Injector. The EUM3006 is an outdoor

unit, but it is not submersible nor is it immune to all liquids.

19. Do not attempt to service this wireless product yourself, as opening or removing

covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to

qualified service personnel.

APCD-LM048-1.3 xvi

20. Unplug PoE Injector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into these products.

• If the PoE Injector has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the EUM3006 does not operate normally for an extended period of time when

following the operating instructions. Note that it is possible that Internet traffic can

be slow even under normal operations due to network congestion and radio

interference and fading and not as result of problems with the EUM3006.

• When the EUM3006 or PoE Injector exhibit distinct changes in performance. This

may indicate a need for service.

21. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by the WaveRider or with the same characteristics as the

original part. Improper substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

22. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this wireless product, ask the service

technician to perform safety checks to determine that the wireless product is in proper

operating condition.

23. Follow WaveRider recommendations when mounting the EUM3006 on a wall, roof, or

tower.

24. Install the EUM3006 in compliance with local and national electrical codes. The

following are the national codes. The installer is responsible for knowing the

appropriate local codes.

• In the United States, use the National Electrical Code (NEC);

• In Canada, use the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1;

• In other countries, use International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364,

part 1 through 7.

25. Ensure that the EUM3006 is properly grounded by attaching a grounding cable to the

bolt marked “GND” on the back of the EUM3006. Art. 820-40 of the NEC (US)

provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the

grounding cable(s) shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as

close to the point of cable entry as possible.

1 Introduction

The LMS4000 900 MHz Radio Network provides wireless high-speed Internet connectivity to

business, SOHO (small office, home office) and residential customers. LMS4000 operates in a

point-to-multipoint configuration, with one base station efficiently serving many subscriber

stations. LMS4000 transmission is based on a high-performance MAC protocol, and industry-

standard IP routing, Ethernet switching and data encryption technology. No radio license is

required, since LMS4000 operates in the 900 MHz ISM band. LMS4000 can deliver Internet

service over long ranges and often where the radio paths between the base station and

subscribers are partially or even totally obscured, that is, non-line-of-sight. Connection

between the end-user’s computer and the subscriber station is through an Ethernet port.

1.2 EUM3006 Features

The EUM3006 is a major step in the evolution of the LMS4000 900MHz Wireless Internet

Modems offered by WaveRider. It is a Power-over-Ethernet, outdoor unit with integrated, high-

gain, active diversity antenna.

The EUM3006 has new features that provide improved RF performance as well as ease of

installation. The RF performance is enhanced due to the integrated, high-gain, active diversity

antenna, improved transmit power, and improved receive sensitivity.

1: Introduction

APCD-LM048-1.3 3

Figure 1 EUM3006 Integrated Outdoor Modem

Hardware and software improvements make outdoor installation easier than ever, allowing

rapid deployment, single person installation, and even end-user self-installation. These

improvements include Power-over-Ethernet, mounting and alignment tools, and Automatic

Remote Configuration of all parameters using DHCP and RADIUS. The Automatic Remote

Configuration of parameters also allows the network operator to easily manage and

reconfigure the EUM3006 after it is installed, including changing frequency, passwords, and

SNMP parameters.

Key features of the EUM3006 include:

•Easy Outdoor Installation - The EUM3006 is tested to meet ETSI 300-019

environmental standards for outdoor installations, with an extended temperature

range of -40º C to 50º C plus solar loading. The EUM3006 can also work in

uninhabited indoor locations, such as attics, if there is an adequate RF signal. The

advantages of an integrated outdoor unit include:

• More flexible installations.

• Improved range since there are no RF losses from long cable runs.

• Lower installation costs.

4APCD-LM048-1.3

1: Introduction

•Integrated, high-gain, active diversity antenna - There are many advantages to the

EUM3006’s integrated antenna:

• Integrated, so that there are no RF losses due to long cable runs.

• High-gain, so that the EUM3006 can generate the maximum RF signal

allowed by FCC and increase the overall operating range.

• Active diversity, which is done on a packet by packet basis, so that the

EUM3006 performs better in a multi-path fading environment.

• Polarization diversity, so that the installer need not worry about what

polarization the CCU is. Sector polarization can be readily changed at the

base stations, with the EUMs automatically adjusting.

•Power over Ethernet (PoE)- The EUM3006 is powered by standard 48 VDC Power

over Ethernet (802.3af Mode B compatible). Since the antenna is integrated, there is

no need for an RF cable. With PoE, there is no need for a separate power and

Ethernet cable. So the EUM3006 has only one standard, unshielded, flexible CAT-5E

cable, making installation simpler.

•48 VDC PoE - Using 48 VDC power allows the EUM3006 to have up to 100 m of

Ethernet cable to the end-user’s PC, which is the maximum by the Ethernet standard.

The PoE injector can be located anywhere along this 100 m of cable. This provides

great flexibility in placing the EUM3006 to get the best RF signal.

•Improved RX Sensitivity - Each EUM3006 is tested to ensure that its RX Sensitivity

is -89 dBm or better (average received signal).

•DHCP Client enabled (factory default)- The EUM3006 can obtain its IP address,

subnet mask and IP gateway information from a DHCP server, reducing the amount of

configuration needed for installation. This also allows the Network Operator to re-

assign IP addresses to EUMs without having to access the EUM itself.

•Auto CCU Discovery (factory default) - The EUM3006 searches the full RF

frequency range to locate CCUs. It then selects the CCU with the best RF signal that

allows it to register. With this and DCHP Client enabled (factory defaults), the installer

does not need to enter ANY configuration parameters into the EUM3006 in order to

install it.

•Automatic Remote Configuration - The EUM3006 will accept parameters from a

RADIUS server to set other configurable parameters in the modem. These

parameters include: password, all SNMP parameters, RF Frequency (including

enabling Auto CCU Discovery), and number of customers.

•Secure Authentication and User Data Encryption: The EUM3006 can perform

mutual authentication with the CCU using the secure 4-way handshake mechanism of

WPA2. All user data flowing over the air can be encrypted using the industry standard

IEEE802.11 TKIP cypher. Traffic to and from each EUM is encrypted using a key

specific to that EUM, ensuring message integrity and privacy for each user.

• Installation Tools - The EUM3006 has two new tools to make installation and

alignment easy and error-free.

•MDB1000 - This hand-held, battery-powered device displays detailed key

signal quality information to allow the EUM3006 to be located and aligned to

the best RF signal possible by a single installer. The MDB1000 can be in any

position to provide easy viewing.

•SETUP Menu - The EUM3006 supports the local link IP address,

169.254.10.250, on its Ethernet port at all times. Using the local-link address,

the user can use the password “setup” to call up the setup menu that allows

1: Introduction

APCD-LM048-1.3 5

any user to check the RF link quality to help align the EUM3006 and

troubleshoot the link. This avoids needing to know the IP address and

password of the modem.

Detailed specifications for the EUM3006 can be found on the WaveRider website.

1.3 EUM3006 - End-user Modem or Customer Premises

Equipment

The EUM3006 Integrated Outdoor Modem, shown in Figure 1, is a rugged outdoor wireless

modem that connects to the end-user’s computer through an Ethernet connection. It is

installed at the end-user’s premises and provides an interface to the customer’s computer or

local area network on one side and wireless access to the LMS4000 network on the other

The EUM3006, which acts as a network bridge, receives data from the CCU (Communication

Access Point Channel Unit = base station) over the 900 MHz radio link, and then forwards this

data to EUM3006 internal processes or to the end-user’s computer through the Ethernet port.

In the other direction, the EUM3006 forwards data received from the end-user’s computer over

the radio link to the CCU

1.3.1 Key Components

These key components of the customer-premises equipment are described on the following

pages:

•EUM3006 Integrated, High Gain, Active Diversity Antenna on page 5

•Ethernet Port on page 6

•Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector on page 7

•PoE Lightning Arrestor on page 7

1.3.2 EUM3006 Integrated, High Gain, Active Diversity Antenna

The EUM3006 has its antenna integrated with the modem in one package, designed for the

rugged outdoor environment. The EUM3006 antenna is a high gain, active diversity antenna

that ensures that the EUM3006 output power is at the maximum allowed. The active diversity

feature selects the best signal from horizontal and vertical polarizations on a per packet

received basis. Active diversity improves performance in a multi-path fading environment by

selecting the alternate polarization when the other polarization signal fades significantly. This

effectively reduces the depth, frequency and duration of fades when compared to a non-active

or non-diversity antenna system.

Horizontal and vertical polarizations are relative to the earth. Since the EUM3006 can be

mounted in one of two orientations, we use the terms longitudinal axis and transverse axis to

refer to the axes of the modem. See Figure 2.

6APCD-LM048-1.3

1: Introduction

Figure 2 EUM3006 Longitudinal and Transverse Axes

The antenna patterns are longitudinal and transverse polarization. If the modem is mounted

vertically, then the longitudinal polarization coincides with vertical polarization and the

transverse is for horizontal polarization. If the modem in mounted horizontally, then the

longitudinal axis is for horizontal polarization and the transverse is for vertical polarization. See

the installation section for suggestions on mounting orientation.

The EUM3006 samples the signal strength from both antenna polarizations during the

preamble of every received packet and automatically selects the best signal. When the

EUM3006 transmits, it sends on the antenna polarization that was last used to receive a

signal.

The integrated antenna has a front-to-back ratio of more than 15 dB, which helps to suppress

interference.

1.3.3 Ethernet Port

The EUM3006 has a weatherproof 10BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 connector. This makes

installation easy and robust, since the correct length of standard outdoor Ethernet cable can

be connected and made weatherproof with the mating connector provided.

The outdoor Ethernet cable can be plugged into the PoE Injector directly or through extension

cables and a UL-approved PoE Lightning Arrestor (recommended, may be required by local

and national codes). Details on the Ethernet port are found in Appendix B on page 39.

APCD-LM048-1.3 7

There is great latitude available in locating the EUM3006 and routing the Ethernet cable, since

up to 330 feet (100 m) of Ethernet cable can be used between the EUM3006 and the end-

user’s computer, router or Ethernet switch.

1.3.4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector

Power is provided to EUM3006 Integrated Outdoor Modem through its Ethernet cable. This

power is provided by a device called a PoE Injector, which takes the Ethernet data-only

signals from the cable to the end-user’s computer, switch or router and adds the 48 VDC

power to the Ethernet cable going to the modem. The 48 VDC power is provided by converting

the AC power provided to the injector.

Figure 3 PoE Injector

Using the standard 48 VDC means that the PoE Injector can be located at any point between

the end-user and the EUM3006, without worrying about excessive voltage drop.

The supplied PoE injector is rated for indoor conditions.

The supplied PoE Injector need not be used if 48 VDC 802.3af Mode B PoE power is being

provided by a router or Ethernet switch. It is beyond the scope of this document to discuss

configuring such devices. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that such devices are

compatible with the EUM3006.

WARNING!

Plug the EUM3006 directly into routers or Ethernet switches

ONLY if these are providing compatible 48 VDC 802.3af Mode

B PoE power, in lieu of the supplied PoE Injector.

1.3.5 PoE Lightning Arrestor

A PoE lightning arrestor (not supplied) is used with the EUM3006 if it is required by the

national building codes and/or the EUM3006 is being installed in an area subject to direct or

8APCD-LM048-1.3

1: Introduction

indirect lightning induced surges. The lightning arrestor must be able to pass the Ethernet data

lines as well as the Power over Ethernet lines. The lightning arrestor must be grounded in

accordance with local and national electrical codes.

1.4 Installation Aids

The following features make installation much easier and faster:

•MDB1000 on page 9

•Setup Menu on page 15

The chapter on Installation on page 21 gives step-by-step instructions to ensure a successful

installation.

APCD-LM048-1.3 9

2 MDB1000

To make installation an easy one person job, the MDB1000 (Magnetic Decoder Box) is a light,

portable, battery operated device that provides signal performance indicators that assist in

locating and aligning the EUM3006. The MDB1000 picks up a magnetic signal from the

EUM3006 from any position within 4 inches of the EUM3006. This allows the installer to put

the MDB in a convenient position, regardless of the orientation of the EUM3006 or

awkwardness of the mounting location. By indicating 8 levels of signal strength and 5 levels of

signal quality, the MDB1000 allows the installer to find the optimal location and alignment. The

MDB1000 is shown in Figure 4

2.1 Placing the MDB1000

The MDB1000 comes with a belt clip and two velcro straps, a short one to attach the

MDB1000 to your wrist or forearm and a longer one to attach to the EUM3006 itself or the pole

mount. So long as the MDB1000 is within 4 inches of the EUM3006, it picks up the magnetic

signal sent by the EUM3006. If MDB1000 does not indicate it is receiving a signal, move it

closer to the waist of the modem.

The EUM3006 will stop sending the magnetic signal one hour after it has been started. If in

doubt, simply re-power the EUM3006 to ensure that it is transmitting the MDB1000’s signal.

2.2 Powering the MDB1000

The MDB1000 requires two AA batteries. It is recommended that long-life batteries, such as

the Eveready Lithium LN91, be used, which have a long shelf life. Under normal conditions,

these batteries should last for many months. Unlike other batteries, lithium batteries are rated

to -40 C. However, sustained temperatures below -10 C will severely limit the battery lifetime.

10 APCD-LM048-1.3

2: MDB1000

It is recommended that the batteries be tested before starting the installation. Keeping a spare

set of batteries with the installation tools may save you a trip down ladders, etc. to get new

batteries.

The AA batteries fit into the MDB1000 by removing the battery cover at the back of MDB1000,

removing the old batteries, and inserting the new ones. Ensure batteries are inserted with the

correct polarity.

Figure 4 MDB1000

2.3 Turning the MDB1000 On

The MDB1000 is self-tested every time it is turned on. Press the ON button. Each LED should

flash on and off twice a second for 5 seconds before showing the signal performance values. If

this does not happen, then the batteries could be low and should be replaced.

The ON/BATT LED will flash continually when the battery is low and should be replaced.

2: MDB1000

APCD-LM048-1.3 11

2.4 Turning the MDB1000 Off

The MDB1000 automatically shuts off if it is out of range of the EUM3006 for more than 60

seconds. You can tell if the MDB1000 is out of range, since the MODEM LED will go out as

well as all of the signal performance indicator LEDs. Only the ON/BATT LED will remain lit (or

flashing if the battery is low).

Pressing the ON button has no effect once the MDB1000 is on.

2.5 Interpreting the LEDs

There are 6 groups of LEDs:

ON/BATT

This LED has three states:

• ON - MDB1000 is working and batteries are good

• FLASHING - The batteries are low and should be replaced

• OFF - MDB1000 has turned itself off

MODEM

ON when the MDB1000 is receiving good data from the EUM3006. If the LED is OFF, then all

the remaining LEDs are OFF.

ETH

ON when the EUM3006 has an Ethernet link to the end-user PC or router.

SIGNAL STRENGTH

These 8 LEDs show the state of the EUM3006 if the MODEM LED is on. There are three

states shown:

1. No CCU - All the Signal Strength LEDs are OFF, indicating that the EUM3006 has

acquired a CCU but is not receiving any packets.

2. Auto CCU Discovery Mode - There are two LEDs ON in rotating patterns when the

EUM3006 is in Auto CCU Discovery mode and is searching for a CCU.

3. Normal Reception - If only one LED is ON, then the EUM3006 has registered with a

CCU and is receiving packets. The LED that is ON indicates the average received

Signal Strength Figure of Merit (FOM) for packets from the CCU. Ta b le 1 shows the

mapping between signal strength in dBm and the signal strength FOM.

12 APCD-LM048-1.3

2: MDB1000

Table 1 MDB1000 Signal Strength FOMs

SIGNAL QUALITY

These 5 LEDs have two interpretations, depending on the state of the EUM3006 if the

MODEM LED is on.

1. A rotating pattern of LEDs shows that the EUM3006 is in Auto CCU Discovery mode.

2. When a CCU has been found, the Signal Quality LEDs indicate the figure of merit for

a blend of quality indicators, including the carrier phase error and the signal to noise

ratios for each antenna pattern. The FOM is a value between 0 and 5 and is much

more qualitative that the signal strength. Table 2 shows the meanings of each of the

LED values. LED 0 means that there are no LEDs lit.

LED Meaning Received Signal is at least Received Signal is less than

1Extremely poor -92 dBm

2Very Poor -92 dBm -89 dBm

3Poor -89 dBm -86 dBm

4Marginal -86 dBm -83 dBm

5Okay -83 dBm -80 dBm

6Good -80 dBm -77 dBm

8Excellent -74 dBm

2: MDB1000

APCD-LM048-1.3 13

Table 2 MDB1000 Signal Quality LEDs

Getting any Signal Strength reading at all indicates that packets are being received from the

CCU. The higher the signal strength and signal quality indicators, the lower the packet error

rate and the higher the fade margin for the EUM3006. The goal should be a signal strength of

5 or higher and a signal quality of 4 or 5. Regardless of the levels, the EUM3006 should be

aligned so that the indicators are the highest possible for the given site.

3 Setup Menu

The EUM3006 is equipped with a simple setup menu through which you can monitor the RF

link quality and view the key parameters of the modem.

3.1 Accessing the Setup Menu

The setup menu is accessed by connecting a Telnet session to the ‘local link’ IP address of the

EUM3006, 169.254.10.250, with password = ‘setup’. The connection must be through the

Ethernet port, not over the air via the RF link.

The computer needs to have an IP address of 169.254.x.y with a 16 bit mask (255.255.0.0),

where x and y can be any value from 0 to 255 except for 10.250, 0.0, or 255.255. It is

recommended that the address 169.254.10.251 be used unless another address is more

convenient. This address will be used throughout.

The following assumes the computer has a Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system.

Other operating systems can be used provided the computer has an IP address of

169.254.10.251 and can use ‘ping’ and ‘telnet’ programs.

On Windows 2000, XP and similar systems, the IP Address is set using the Control Panel >

Network and Dialup Connection > Local Area Connections > right mouse click to select

Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties.

Once the computer’s IP address is set to 169.254.10.251, open a DOS command window and

try to ping the EUM3006, using the command “ping 169.254.10.250”. If the EUM3006 does not

respond, verify the Ethernet cables are connected correctly, that PoE Injector has power and

that the computer has the correct address and net mask.

When the EUM3006 replies to the ping command, establish a telnet session with the

command “telnet 169.254.10.250”.

Once a telnet connection is established, a password is requested. Enter “setup”, which will

enter the setup menu.

•searching for a CCU - A complete sweep of all frequencies takes about 30 seconds.

The display shows which frequencies may be CCUs. A search is started when any of

the following occurs:

• the modem boots up, either due to a hard (power) reset or software reset,

• no CCUs are found during the last frequency sweep, so that the modem

cannot register with any CCU found during the last sweep,

• the modem has received no traffic from the CCU in the last two minutes

•attempting to register with a CCU - When a frequency sweep has been completed,

the modem attempts to register with the CCUs in the order of best signal down to

poorest. The modem may not register with a CCU for a number of reasons, in which

case the modem attempts the next CCU in the frequency list. If the modem cannot

be able to register with a CCU include:

• The modem is not authorized to register at that CCU,

• The signal detected is not a valid CCU.

•registered with a CCU - This state occurs when the modem has a frequency and has

successfully registered with a CCU. At this point, the modem can provide a link to the

Internet through the CCU.

3.4 Troubleshooting Information Display

The troubleshooting information is provided to allow the network operator to troubleshoot the

link. It is also useful to record the status of the link once the modem is installed and aligned.

This can form a reference baseline so that the network operator can judge if the link in future is

better or worse than it was when the modem was installed.

The information provided below is a brief description of the statistics provided. A detailed

understanding of this information is not required to install the EUM3006. If there are problems

with the installation, then the installer may contact the network operator and report the

information on this display so that the network operator can troubleshoot the installation.

The MAC Summary shows the breakdown for transmitted and received packets and payloads.

All values are expressed as a count and percentage of total packets or payloads. A payload is

a packet with real data.

• Transmitted Payloads: shows how many payloads were successfully transmitted the

1st time or needed to be sent a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time to get through, as well as how

many packets failed to get through at all. Note that traffic must be sent from the end

user PC in order to generate enough traffic to be meaningful. The rules of thumb are:

• 1OK should be at least 90%, otherwise the link may not be good enough.

• The 1OK packets should be 1000 or more to be a reasonable representation

of the link.

• Received packets: shows the classification of all packets received from the CCU,

whether they contain payloads or not and whether they are directed to this modem or

not. This data is for information only and does not indicate the quality of the link for the

installer.

• Received packets with payloads: shows the disposal of the received packets with

payloads. FCS Error from Peer shows the error rate for all packets from the CCU,

whether directed to this modem or not. An error rate above 5% could indicate a poor

link. The others are for payloads directed to this modem or broadcast to all modems.

Only the delivered payloads are successfully received. The rule of thumb here is that

the delivered payloads should be better than 95%, otherwise the link is suspect.

4.2 Pre-Installation Steps

4.2.1 Network and EUM3006 Configuration

There are a number of steps that must be undertaken by the network operator before installing

an EUM3006. For more information, see the LMS4000 Data Networking Concepts, LMS4000

Radio Concepts and LMS4000 Managing the Network manuals on the WaveRider web-site.

1. CCU Authorization: Ensure that the EUM is authorized at one or more CCUs with the

appropriate Grade of Service.

2. Secure Authentication: If secure authentication and user data encryption are

required, a secret authentication key must be configured in the EUM and CCU (or

RADIUS server).

3. IP Addresses: Configure a DHCP server to accept the new EUM3006’s request for

an IP address, if the modem has DHCP enabled (factory default). If not using DHCP,

then the EUM must be manually configured with the following settings:

• IP address

• Subnet mask

• Gateway IP address

4. Frequency Assignment: If the Auto CCU Discovery feature (factory default) is used,

then the EUM will search for the CCU upon power up. This is the recommended

approach. If for some reason this is not acceptable, then the EUM3006 must be

configured with its radio frequency.

The easiest installation uses the EUM3006 factory defaults, so that the modem will get all of its

IP address information from DHCP and its RF Frequency from the Auto CCU Discovery

feature.

4.2.2 Installer’s Kit and Information

The installer needs the following standard items to complete an installation. These items are

not provided with the EUM3006 modem.

• Pole Mounting HW - provides a vertically aligned 1 - 3.0” pole or pipe, securely

attached to building or tower. Typically this is a Satellite TV wall or roof mount.

• Grounding Conductor and clamps- to provide a good ground for the modem, both for

RF performance and safety requirements. The grounding conductor attaches to the

bolt marked ‘GND’ on EUM3006 at one end and to the building’s Power Service

Grounding Electrode System using a clamp at the other end. The grounding

conductor can also be connected to the Pole Mounting Hardware. The grounding

conductor must be at least 12 AWG copper wire, with a lug with a hole for #12 bolt at

one end. The US National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 810-21 provides guidelines

for the grounding conductor.

• Tie wraps - or other means to secure the outdoor Ethernet cable and Grounding

Conductor to the mounting HW and walls, in order to provide drip loops and strain

relief.

24 APCD-LM048-1.3

4: Installation

• PoE Lighting Arrestor - if mounted outdoors and/or required by local or national

electrical codes. The protector must be able to protect all 8 conductors and must be

able to pass the DC power as well as the data.

• Straight-through Outdoor Rated Ethernet cable(s) - needed to connect the EUM3006

to the Lightning Arrestor or PoE Inector or other lengths of Ethernet cable.

• Ethernet cable from PoE Injector - needed to connect to the end-user’s computer or

switch or router. If the end-user’s computer is connected directly to the PoE injector,

then this must be a cross-over Ethernet cable.

• Tools to bolt the mounting plate to the modem using the 9/16” hex head bolts and to

tighten the gear clamps with either a slot screw driver or 3/8” socket or wrench.

Other useful tools include:

• The MDB1000 makes installation and alignment much easier, avoiding the need for a

PC or PDA. This makes installation a one-person operation.

• Extension cord for the PoE injector (or battery operated PoE Injector, if available) -

This allows you to take the PoE injector along with the modem and apply power when

on a roof or up a ladder. Note that PoE Injector is an indoor unit, so do not use in

inclement weather.

• If custom Ethernet cables are made on-site, then an Ethernet connector crimping tool

is required.

• If it is necessary to splice Ethernet cables outdoors, then the splice must be weather-

proofed, so the appropriate tape and/or outdoor junction boxes are needed.

Useful information includes:

• Direction from the installation site to the CCU.

• Expected signal strength for the installation site based on the network operator’s site

survey or signal strength for other installations in the vicinity.

• The IP address of a site that accepts pings as well as the name of a site that accepts

pings, for testing the data link

4.2.3 Verifying the EUM3006 Components

Verify that the EUM3006 kit is complete with:

• EUM3006 modem with integrated antenna

• Attaching plate with 4 bolts and lock washers

• 2 Gear Clamps

• Mating connector for the weatherproof housing around the Ethernet plug and jack

• AC/DC PoE power supply

• AC power cable

4.2.4 End-Users PC

Ensure that the end-user PC is equipped with an Ethernet interface.

4: Installation

APCD-LM048-1.3 25

4.3 Installation Steps

NOTE: Turn off all cordless phones in the customer’s premises, and any

other equipment that uses the 900MHz ISM band. Once the

installation is complete, turn this equipment back on and monitor

for interference or degraded signal quality.

4.3.1 Locating the EUM3006

Based on the site survey by the network operator and experience in the neighborhood, the

installer should have some estimate of the signal levels expected at the end-user’s premises.

This will influence where the EUM3006 can be located. Examples:

• In areas with very strong signal levels, the EUM3006 could be mounted in the attic or

other indoor locations.

• As the signal levels drop, EUM3006 could be located outside, but under the eaves

and/or against building walls.

• If the signal levels are weak, the EUM3006 may need to be located on the roof and

eventually on a pole above the roof that has good line of sight to the CCU.

If you have no idea what signal levels are expected at your site, it is suggested that you climb

to a high point (e.g. on the top of the roof), power up the modem and see what signal level is

available. If it is good (e.g. Signal Strength FOM is 5 or better), then you can try lower

locations. Remember, the higher the signal level, the better the link in general.

The goal for a good installation is to have the Signal Strength FOM in the range of 5-8 and the

Signal Quality FOM to be in the range 4-5. However, there are many good installations with

lower figures of merit. Using the MDB1000 or Setup Menu, the installer should find the location

that provides the best signal figures of merit and then adjust the EUM3006 to maximize the

FOM readings. In most cases, a signal strength of 5 with a signal quality of 4 is a better signal

that a signal strength of 6 and signal quality of 2.

The following are suggested guidelines for determining where to locate the modem:

• Survey the area with the modem to assess the signal levels before installing the pole

mounting hardware

• Signal indicators should be good.

• Avoid being the highest point nearby if possible, since this is more exposed to

lightning. If signal levels are good enough, mounting under the eaves or in an attic are

preferred since these locations provide added protection from lightning, winds, rain,

and snow.

• Locate the EUM3006 at least 1 foot away from occupied areas to avoid any harm from

emissions.

26 APCD-LM048-1.3

4: Installation

4.3.2 Mounting the EUM3006

Pole Mounting Hardware

Once a good location for the modem has been selected, you need to provide a pole or pipe to

which the EUM3006 can be attached. This can be any pole from 1” to 3.0” diameter. If the pole

is vertical, it is easy to rotate (pan) the modem for the final alignment. The longitudinal axis

must be vertical or horizontal only.

The pole can be held by any standard mounting HW such as Satellite TV mounts. See the

WaveRider web site for suggestions regarding pole mounting hardware.

CAUTION: The Pole mounting hardware MUST BE SECURELY

FASTENED to structure (building, tower, etc.) and must be rated

to withstand the same or worse environmental conditions as the

EUM3006.

Orientation of the EUM3006

Before mounting the EUM3006 to the pole, the orientation of the modem must be determined.

The modem should be mounted vertically (i.e. Longitudinal or long axis mounted vertically

(see Figure 5)) unless the location makes vertical mounting difficult.

The advantages of vertically mounting the modem include:

• Easier to point the modem. Being vertically mounted, the pole mount can be closer to

other structures and still allow the modem to be pointed.

• Less exposure to wind and rain, since less cross section presented.

Attaching the EUM3006 to the Pole Mounting Hardware

Thread the Gear Clamps straps through the slots on the mounting plate before bolting it down

on to the EUM3006. There are two set of slots provided, the closer set are 1” apart and the

farther set are 2” apart. For poles up to 2 1/4” diameter, use the closer set. For poles of greater

than 2 1/4” diameter, use the farther set of slots. Do not use slots that are too far apart for the

diameter of the pole, otherwise there will be excessive bending of the mounting plate.

Bolt the mounting plate to EUM3006 using the bolts and lock washers provided, when the

clamps are in place and the orientation has been decided. Attach the grounding conductor to

the bolt for the hole marked “GND”. Tighten the bolts securely to 8-12 foot-pounds of torque.

CAUTION: The Ethernet cable outlet must be at the lower

position for either orientation. There are labels indicating which is

the top of the modem for vertical and horizontal mounting. Failure

to mount the modem with the correct side to the top will severely

reduce the weather protecting ability of the modem.

4: Installation

APCD-LM048-1.3 27

WARNING!

The grounding conductor must be attached to the bolt in the

hole marked “GND”.

TIP: As a safety precaution, before attaching the modem to the

pole, use a couple of tie-wraps to secure the Ethernet cable and/

or Ground conductor to the pole to ‘catch’ the modem before it

hits the roof or ground, should you drop it.

Tighten the gear clamps around the pole enough to hold the modem but allowing it to rotate

horizontally. Make the final alignment adjustment so that the modem points in the direction of

the best signal. Usually, there are a range of angles with similar signal levels with the levels

falling off as the modem moves out of that range. Point the modem to the middle of this range.

TIP: You can also mount just the mounting plate and gear

clamps to the pole and then attach the modem to the mounting

plate. However, you need to have a stable position since you will

be holding the modem while threading the mounting plate bolts to

the modem. Again, use a tie-wrap to hold the Ethernet cable to the pole first,

as a safety precaution.

Tighten the gear clamp securely to a torque of 24-30 inch-pounds (2.0 to 2.5 foot-pounds).

Some distortion of the attachment plate is expected as the gear clamps are tightened.

WARNING!

Both gear clamps must be used and must be tightened

securely with a socket or box wrench to the specified torque.

Ensure that the modem will not rotate around the pole when reasonable force is applied. Avoid

pressing on the radome, push on the cast base instead.

Provide a drip-loop for Ethernet cable and grounding conductor from EUM3006 to pole (see

Figure 5 and Figure 6). This ensures that there is no strain on Ethernet cable as well as

directing any rain drips away from the modem and its cable outlet.

4.3.3 Running Cables

Secure the Ethernet cable and grounding conductor along the pole mounting hardware, the

roof and/or any exterior walls, using standard cable ties or anchors, so that there is little or no

strain on the wires, but they will not flap in the wind. Add lengths of straight-through Ethernet

cables if the provided cable is not long enough. See Appendix B on page 39 for more

information on Ethernet cables.

Attach the grounding conductor to the building’s Power Service Grounding Electrode System

using a ground clamp. See Important Safeguards on page xiv for discussion on good

grounding practices.

If a PoE lightning arrestor is used, it must also be grounded through the building’s Power

Service Grounding Electrode System. The Ethernet cable from the EUM3006 is attached to

the external port of the lightning arrestor and a straight-through Ethernet cable is attached to

the other port.

4: Installation

The PoE Injector must be located indoors as it is not rated for outdoor conditions. Therefore

the Ethernet cable must enter the building in an appropriate location, preferably near the

lightning arrestor.

4.3.4 Provide Power to the EUM3006

An indoor PoE Injector, shown in Figure 7, is provided with every EUM3006. Locate it in a

convenient location that has access to an AC plug and the Ethernet cable that runs to the

EUM3006. If a Lightning Arrestor is used, the PoE Injector must be located on the protected

side of the lightning arrestor.

Plug the Ethernet cable to the modem into the port marked “J1 DATA & PWR.

Figure 7 PoE Injector - Data & PWR and Data Ports

Alternatives to the PoE Injector provided can be used, such as PoE enabled routers or

switches. If these provide 48 VDC 802.3af Mode B PoE power, then the EUM3006 can be

connected directly to them.

CAUTION: Failure to use an acceptable PoE power supply may

damage the EUM3006 and void the warranty.

APCD-LM048-1.3 31

4.3.5 Connecting the End-User’s PC

There are many ways to connect the EUM3006 to the end-user’s PC, using Ethernet switches,

IP routers, etc. The discussion below is for the simplest, most direct method of connection,

using the provided PoE Injector.

1. Connect the end-user’s PC by attaching a crossover Ethernet cable (not provided)

between the Ethernet port on the end-user’s computer and the DATA only port on the

PoE Injector (marked “J2 DATA” in Figure 7).

CAUTION: Connecting the End-User PC to the “J1 DATA &

PWR” port on the PoE Injector will provide a DC voltage that could

damage the end-user’s Ethernet interface. Ensure that the end-

user’s equipment in connected to the DATA only port (marked “J2

DATA” in Figure 7) of the PoE Injector and the EUM3006 or its extension

Ethernet cable is connected to the DATA & PWR port (marked “J1 DATA &

PWR”) in Figure 7).

2. Plug the PoE Injector into an AC socket.

3. Check the Ethernet LEDs on the Ethernet interface of the end-user’s PC to ensure the

Ethernet connection between the EUM3006 and the end-user’s PC is active. Refer to

Tab le 5 for an explanation of the Ethernet LEDs normally provided on Ethernet

interface cards.

Table 5 Ethernet Interface Card LED Status Displays

4. When attempting to send data to, or receive data from, the Internet, check the

Ethernet Traffic LED to ensure data transmission is taking place. This LED flashes as

data traffic passes between the end-user’s PC and the EUM3006.

4.3.6 Testing the Data Link

The following are simple tests that the installer or end-user can perform to ensure that the link

is functioning correctly. These tests are outlined below. If any test fails, then the subsequent

tests are likely to fail as well until the problem is resolved.

1. Ping the EUM: Configure the end-user’s PC to have the local link IP address and ping

the EUM3006 at IP address “169.254.10.250” (see Ping the EUM on page 33 for more

details if needed).

2. Assess the Link: Use the Setup Menu as described in Setup Menu on page 15 to

assess the Radio Link Status and to get the Troubleshooting information to baseline

the installation. This test verifies that the end-user’s PC is communicating with the

EUM3006 and provides insight into the state of the RF link. This test is recommended

even if the modem was aligned using the MDB1000, since it provides more details on

the state of the modem and what CCU(s) it has located.

3. Verify DHCP: If the network assigns end-user PC’s IP addresses by DHCP, then

reconfigure the end-user PC to use DHCP to automatically obtain its IP address.

Verify the end-user PC has received an IP address, by using the DOS command

“ipconfig” and seeing that an IP address is assigned along with Gateway and DNS

server addresses This confirms that the End user PC is contacting the DHCP server

correctly.See Verify DHCP on page 34 if more details are required.

4. Ping the Gateway: Assuming the end-user PC has an IP address and a Gateway

address as shown by the “ipconfig” command, ping the gateway to determine if it can

be reached. See Ping the Gateway on page 34 if more details are required.

5. Ping Internet by IP address: If everything is good so far, try pinging a known Internet

address. If successful, then you know that the end-user PC can access the general

Internet. See Ping Internet by IP address on page 35 if more details are required.

6. Ping Internet by Name: Ping a known named Internet address (e.g. “ping

www.google.com” or some equivalent). Even if the site refuses ping commands, you

should get the IP address for the named site. If so, this shows that DNS is working

correctly. See Ping Internet by Name on page 36 if more details are required.

7. Link Speed Test: Go to a known web-site that offers link speed testing, such as “http:/

/bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/”. Follow their instructions and determine the link

speed. There are many factors affecting the link speed between the end-user’s PC

and the test site, including the assigned grade-of-service for the modem, the loading

on the CCU sector and the loading over the rest of the Internet. So this test is not the

best test for ensuring that the modem to CCU link is operating at its correct speed. But

it should indicate that the PC is able to communicate with a site on the Internet.

If any of these tests fail, then the installer may need to check the modem, its alignment, the

cabling, the PC’s configuration and the RF link. If all of these appear good, then the installer

should contact the Network Operator for further troubleshooting advice.

Even if all the above tests indicate a good link, WaveRider recommends that the Network

Operator remotely test the EUM-to-CCU data link more thoroughly soon after it is installed.

The test facilities available to the Network Operator are outlined in the LMS4000 Managing the

Network manual and other manuals on the WaveRider web-site.

The following sections provide more detail for some of the steps for Testing the Data Link.

4: Installation

APCD-LM048-1.3 33

Ping the EUM

Note that the EUM3006 may be on a different sub-net than the end-user’s PC, so pinging the

IP address assigned to the EUM3006 will go through the CCU. Therefore, we ping the

EUM3006 using the local link IP address as the 1st test.

1. Ensure the end-user’s PC is configured with an IP address of 169.254.10.251,

netmask = 16 (or 255.255.0.0). See Setup Menu on page 15 for more information.

2. Ping the EUM’s local-link IP address 169.254.10.250, from the end-user’s PC, as

follows:

• Open a DOS window in the end-user’s PC.

• At the command prompt, type ping 169.254.10.250 and press Enter.

3. If there is no response, check the following:

• The end-user’s computer IP address settings.

• The Ethernet link light on the PC.

• The Ethernet crossover cable between the PoE Injector and the end-user’s

PC, to ensure that the pins have not been damaged.

• The PoE Injector’s POWER LED should be on.

• The Ethernet cables are plugged into the correct ports of the PoE Injector.

• If you have an MDB1000, cycle the power at the PoE Injector to reboot the

EUM3006 and verify that the EUM3006 is communicating with the MDB1000.

Note that the MDB1000 needs to be near the EUM3006. Also, if the EUM3006

has been on for more than 1 hour, it will have stopped sending the magnetic

signal to the MDB1000, hence the reason for cycling the power on the

modem.

4. If there is a response, but with errors, check the Ethernet crossover cable.

This is what a successful ping from the end-user’s PC to the EUM looks like:

Verify DHCP

This step is for networks that use DHCP to provide IP addresses to the end-user’s computer.

Assuming the Setup command shows that the modem has registered with a CCU and is

receiving a signal, then reconfigure the end-user PC to use the correct IP address. This is

usually done using DHCP to automatically obtain the IP address.

On Windows 2000, XP and similar systems, the IP Address is set using the Control Panel >

Network and Dialup Connection > Local Area Connections > right mouse click to select

Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties. To enable DHCP, click on the “Obtain an

IP Address Automatically” button.

Once properly configured, verify the end-user has received an IP address. For a Windows

2000 or XP PC, in a DOS Window, type “ipconfig” and see that there is an IP address

assigned along with a Gateway Address and DNS server addresses This confirms that the

End user PC is contacting the DHCP server correctly. Record the IP Address of the gateway

and the DNS servers.

Ping the Gateway

Ensure the end-user’s PC is configured properly. Then ping the EUM gateway address from a

PC DOS window. The gateway address was recorded during the Verify DHCP address is

using DHCP. Otherwise the installer will know the gateway address since it is needed to

configure the end-user’s PC.

Ping using short packets first (default size) to confirm the connection. Then use long packets

(1472 byte packets) to confirm the RF performance. Errors observed on pings with long

packets indicate a high error rate on the channel, caused by low signal levels or interference.

The following describes how to ping the gateway:

1. Open a DOS window.

2. At the command prompt, type ping <aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd> -t -l 1472, where

<aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd> is the Gateway radio IP address and press Enter.

3. Press Ctrl+c to end the test.

4: Installation

APCD-LM048-1.3 35

NOTE: If this test fails with the long packets, but pinging the Gateway

with the default packet size succeeds, then the connection is

working but is not operating at maximum capacity, possibly due to

poor antenna placement or orientation, poor signal levels, and/or

interference.

The following example assumes the Gateway has an IP address of 172.16.4.1. Replace that

address with the correct gateway address from the ‘ipconfig’ command:

4.4 Post-Installation

Once a good link between the CCU and the EUM3006 has been established, the configuration

can be completed automatically using the Automatic Remote Configuration feature with a

RADIUS Server and database in which the EUM3006 information has been entered. The

network operator must update the RADIUS database for the new modem. The configurable

items that can be included in the Automatic Remote Configuration include:

• password,

• all SNMP parameters,

• RF Frequency (including enabling Auto CCU Discovery)

If the Automatic Remote Configuration feature is not used, then the network operator can

connect to the EUM3006 over the air and complete the configuration.

Details on configuring a RADIUS Server or manually configuring an individual EUMs are

covered in the LMS4000 Managing the Network manual or other manuals, available on the

WaveRider web-site.

Appendix B Ethernet Cables and

Connectors

There will be several Ethernet cables used in installing the EUM3006:

•EUM3006 Cable: A short Ethernet cable with a weatherproof adapter is attached to

the EUM3006. Straight-through cables connect this to the DATA & PWR port of the

PoE Injector.

•Cross-over Cable: The Ethernet cable from the DATA port of the PoE Injector to the

end-user’s PC must be a cross-over cable. A cross over cable has one end wired

according to T568A and the other end according to T568B. Both ends have RJ45

connectors.

•Straight-Through Cable: Straight-through Ethernet cables have both ends wired

according to T568A with RJ45 connectors. Straight-through cables can be used in a

number of locations:

• If a PoE lightning arrestor is used in the installation, then the cable between

the lightning arrestor and PoE injector must be straight-through.

• Straight-through Ethernet cable is to provide to connect the EUM3006 to the

lightning arrestor.

• If the EUM3006 is to be connected to a router or Ethernet Switch that do not

provide PoE, then a straight-through Ethernet cable is used to connect the

router or switch to the PoE injector.

• If a router or Ethernet switch are used, then they are connected to the end-

user’s PC by a straight-through Ethernet cable.

The Ethernet cables used between the PoE Injector and the EUM3006 must have all 4 pairs

wired as shown in Table 6.

Appendix B: Ethernet Cables and Connectors

Table 6 Ethernet Interface Specifications

* The voltage differential between DC Power A and DC Power B must be 48 VDC +/- 10% at

the PoE Injector end. Neither should be tied to ground. Typically DC Power A is + 48 VDC and

DC Power B is ~0 VDC, but not tied to ground.

The following table and figures show the definitions of wiring for T568A and T568B

connectors, used to make cross-over and straight-through Ethernet cables as found in ANSI/

TIA/EIA-568-B.2 “Balanced Twisted Pair Cabling Components”.
