Preface
About this Manual
WaveRider recommends that you read the following sections before you install and operate
the LMS3200:
•Software License Agreement on page 2
•Warranty on page 4
•Warnings and Advisories on page 12
•Regulatory Notices on page 11
NOTE: The information contained in this manual is subject to change
without notice.
Regulatory Notices
Industry Canada
Operators must be familiar with IC RSS-210 and RSS-102.
The LMS3200 CCU and EUM have been designed and manufactured to comply with
IC RSS-210.
WARNING!
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device
should be operated indoors and away from windows to provide
maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is
installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
Federal Communications Commission
The LMS3200 CCU and EUM have been designed and manufactured to comply with
FCC Part 15.
The FCC ID for the LMS3200 equipment is OOX-WRM3200.
The transmitter of LMS3200 devices complies with Part 15.247 of the FCC rules.
12 APCD-LM011-A
WARNING!
Operators must be familiar with the requirements of the FCC
Part 15 Regulations prior to operating any link using this
equipment. For installations outside the United States, contact
local authorities for applicable regulations.
Interference Environment
Manufacturers and operators of spread-spectrum devices are reminded that the operation of
these devices is subject to the conditions that:
•any received interference, including interference from industrial, scientific, and
medical (ISM) operations, must be accepted; and
•these devices are not permitted to cause harmful interference to other radio services.
If the operation of these systems does cause harmful interference, the operator of the spread-
spectrum system must correct the interference problem, even if such correction requires the
Part 15 transmitter to cease operation. The FCC does not exempt spread-spectrum devices
from this latter requirement regardless of the application. The FCC strongly recommends that
utilities, cellular stations, public safety services, government agencies, and others that provide
critical communication services exercise due caution to determine if there are any nearby
radio services that can be affected by their communications.
Operational Requirements
In accordance with the FCC Part 15 regulations:
1. The maximum peak power output of the intentional radiator shall not exceed one (1)
watt for all spread-spectrum systems operating in the 902-908 MHz band.
2. Stations operating in the 902-908 MHz band may use transmitting antennas of
directional gain greater that 6 dBi, provided the peak output power from the intentional
radiator is reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna
exceeds 6 dBi.
3. The operator of a spread-spectrum system is responsible for ensuring that the system
is operated in the manner outlined in Interference Environment on page 12 and
Operational Requirements on page 12.
Warnings and Advisories
General Advisory
Operator and maintenance personnel must be familiar with the related safety requirements
before they attempt to install or operate the LMS3200 equipment.
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.
APCD-LM011-A 13
WARNING!
This system must be professionally installed. Antennas and
associated transmission cable must be installed by qualified
personnel. WaveRider assumes no liability for failure to adhere
to this recommendation or to recognized general safety
precautions.
WARNING!
Do not operate the LMS3200 CCU or EUM without connecting a
50-ohm termination to the antenna port. This termination can be
a 50-ohm antenna or a 50-ohm resistive load capable of
absorbing the full RF output power of the transceiver. Failure to
terminate the antenna port properly may cause permanent
damage to the device.
WARNING!
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, the antenna for this
transmitter must be fix-mounted on outdoor permanent
structures to provide a separation distance of 32 cm (12 inches)
or more from all persons to satisfy RF exposure requirements.
The distance is meaured from the front of the antenna and the
human body. It is recommended that the antenna be installed in
a location with minimal pathway disruption by nearby personnel.

•Communications Access Point (CAP)
•End User Modem (EUM)
1.1 NAP
The NAP acts as a gateway to the Internet. It is the connection point between the LMS3200
wireless network and the rest of the world. Information passes from the subscriber’s PC or
network through the LMS3200 network to the Internet.

1.2 CAP
The CAP serves a routing function for the LMS3200 data communication by providing a
collection point for the EUM data, and translating this data to a single data stream. It also acts
as a distribution point for data received from the NAP by translating the data from a single data
stream into multiple radio signals. This information then transmits to the appropriate EUMs.

The CAP equipment includes the following components:
•RF entry panel
•CAP channel units (CCUs)
•Ethernet switch

1.3 EUMs
The EUM is a self-contained wireless router that connects directly to a subscriber’s network or
computer. The EUM provides raw data of up to 2.75 Mbps between the EUM and a CCU using
wireless IP routing to create direct high-speed Internet access gateway to and from a local
area network (LAN).
The EUM functions as a radio that transmits or receives data from a local network through an
Ethernet connection, then transmits or receives the coded data through a radio link to the CCU
radio on the CAP.

1.5 Data Flow
From the simplest perspective, the LMS3200 system consists of the NAP, CAP, and EUM.
The communications between these devices is controlled by routers. The NAP contains a
router, the CAP contains a CCU, which is essentially a router, and the EUM, which also acts
as a router. Each router has two (or more) connections on it.
•The NAP router connects to the WISP (WAN) and the CCU in the CAP (LAN).
•The CCU connects to the NAP (Ethernet) and to multiple EUMs (radio).
•The EUM connects to the CCU (radio) and the subscriber’s PC or network (Ethernet).
System Data Flow on page 6 further illustrates the connections between the Internet, the
LMS3200 equipment, and the subscriber’s computer or LAN. It also identifies typical default IP
addresses for each router.
Figure 5 System Data Flow
Figure 5 shows the default IP addresses for the NAP router, CCU, and EUM. The WAN
interface IP address for the NAP router will change to reflect the subnetwork of the ISP. The
EUM Ethernet IP wll also change to reflect the subscriber’s subnetwork address.

2 Installing the NAP and the CAP
The first step in setting up your LMS3200 network is to link the NAP to the CAP. WaveRider
recommends that you set up the NAP and CAP using the default settings initially. After the
network is operational, you can optionally change the network addresses to suit your needs
using the LMS Network Management System (NMS) software.
The basic procedure for setting up the LMS3200 system, including the CAP to NAP link, is as
follows:
1. Set up the CAP.
2. Set up the backhaul for the CAP to NAP link.
3. Set up the NAP.
4. Set up the NMS Workstation.
5. Configure SNMPc Server.
6. Initialize and configure the NMS software.
7. Verify the CAP and NAP link is operational.
8. Configure CCUs.
9. Configure and deploy EUMs in your network.
This chapter describes the procedures to set up the LMS3200 CAP to NAP components.

2.1.2 Setting up your Backhaul Equipment
The type of backhaul equipment for your site depends on the following conditions:
•expected traffic load
•available backhaul infrastructure
•distance between the CAP and the NAP
The backhaul can be either a wired connection to the NAP or a connection through an external
unit that provides a transparent connection at the Ethernet Layer 2 transport.
TIP: The WaveRider NCL line of wireless routers
provides a cost-effective solution to establish a wireless
backhaul solution.
CAP to NAP Backhaul on page 11 shows a simple backhaul configuration.
