As an outdoor wireless access point, the SR1410 can provide IEEE 802.11 wireless service to local wireless clients. The SR1410 is also able to create multipoint connections over wireless backhaul radios. A SR1410 equipped with POE injector can also provide 802.11 n. When deployed for wireless bridging, two or more SR1410 models provide point-to-point or point-tomultipoint router links between remote Ethernet LANs, and can simultaneously serve wireless service for local clients on the non-bridging radio. The wireless router system offers a fast, reliable, and costeffective solution for connectivity between remote Ethernet LANs or to provide Internet access to an isolated site. The SR1410 is capable of filtering, classifying, shaping, forwarding Layer 3 traffic. The SR1410 is a stand-alone device that operates independently of a Vivint Network Controller. It provides the following capabilities: Stand-alone wireless access point (802.11n) with support for wireless backhaul over 5 GHz Point-to-point WDS router and router functions for 5 GHz Point-to-multipoint WDS Router for 5 GHz Four 2.4 5Ghz SMA female detachable antenna interfaces Stand-alone wireless access point (802.11n) with support for wireless backhaul over 5 GHz One Ethernet interfaces The SR1410 requires detachable antennas, sold separately. Vivint Mesh Points are radio transmission devices and as such are subject to governmental regulations. Vivint mesh points are NOT sold through authorized, non-retail, distribution channels and are required to be deployed by a Professional Vivint Installer / Qualified Network Administrator. The professional installer responsible for the configuration and operation of Access Points must ensure that the installation complies with local regulations, frequencies, channels and output power.

To receive notification about upgrades or bulletins that may become available from time to time, please complete the enclosed Warranty Card and mail or fax it to Vivint. 1.1.1 Data rates Under ideal deployment conditions (low line of sight, low interference, and low moisture content), the SR1410 router can operate over a range of up to 1 km or provide a high-speed connection of 100 Mbps The range also depends on the type of antenna used. The maximum data rate for a link decreases as the operating range increases. When planning a wireless router link, take into account the maximum distance and data rates for the various antenna options. 1.1.2 Radio Path Planning The wireless router link requires a “radio line of sight” between the two antennas for optimum performance. The concept of radio line of sight involves the area along a link through which the bulk of the radio signal power travels. This area is known as the first Fresnel Zone of the radio link. For a radio link, no object (including the ground) must intrude within 60% of the first Fresnel Zone. The following figure illustrates the concept of a good radio line of sight. SR1410 Installation & User Guide Ver. 0.01 SR1410 Installation and User Guide Page 11 If there are obstacles in the radio path, there may still be a radio link but the quality and strength of the signal will be affected. Calculating the maximum clearance from objects on a path is important as it directly affects the decision on antenna placement and height. It is especially critical for long-distance links, where the radio signal could easily be lost. NOTE: For wireless links less than 500 m, the IEEE 802.11a radio signal will tolerate some obstacles in the path and may not even require a visual line of sight between the antennas. When planning the radio path for a wireless router link, consider these factors: Avoid any partial line of sight between the antennas Be cautious of trees or other foliage that may be near the path, or may grow and obstruct the path Be sure there is enough clearance from buildings and that no building construction may eventually block the path Check the topology of the land between the antennas using topographical maps, aerial photos, or even satellite image data (software packages are available that may include this information for your area) 1.2 Antenna Height A reliable wireless link is usually best achieved by mounting the antennas at each end high enough for a clear radio line of sight between them. The minimum height required depends on the distance of the link, obstacles that may be in the path, topology of the terrain, and the curvature of the earth (for links over 3 miles). For long-distance links, the AP may have to be mounted on masts or poles that are tall enough to attain the minimum required clearance. Use the following table to estimate the required minimum clearance above the ground or path obstruction (for 5 GHz router links). SR1410 Installation & User Guide Ver. 0.01 SR1410 Installation and User Guide Page 12 1.2.1 Antenna Position and Polarization Once the required antenna height has been determined, other factors affecting the precise position of the wireless router must be considered: Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft) of the wireless router. These include other WiFi radio antennas Place the wireless router away from power and telephone lines Avoid placing the wireless router too close to any metallic reflective surfaces, such as roof-installed air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water pipes. Ensure that there is at least 5 feet clearance from such objects The wireless router antennas at both ends of the link must be positioned with the same polarization direction, either horizontal or vertical. Proper alignment helps to maximize throughput. The wireless router’s integrated antenna sends a radio signal that is polarized in a particular direction. The antenna’s receive sensitivity is also higher for radio signals that have the same polarization. To maximize the performance of the wireless link, both antennas must be set to the same polarization direction. 1.2.2 Radio Interference The avoidance of radio interference is an important part of wireless link planning. Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 802.11a,n channel frequencies. Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from another signal. If radio interference is still a problem with your wireless link, changing the antenna polarization direction may improve the situation. 1.2.3 Weather Conditions When planning wireless links, you must take into account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Consider these factors: Temperature — The wireless router is tested for normal operation in temperatures from -33°C to 55°C. Operating in temperatures outside of this range may cause the unit to fail. Wind Velocity — The wireless router can operate in winds up to 90 miles per hour and survive higher wind speeds up to 125 miles per hour. You must consider the known maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any supporting structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand this force. Lightning — The wireless router includes its own built-in lightning protection via chassis grounding. However, you should make sure that the unit, any supporting structure, and cables are all properly grounded. Additional protection using lightning rods, lightning arrestors, or surge suppressors may also be employed. Rain — The SR1410 is weatherproofed against rain. Also, prolonged heavy rain has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, it is recommended to use weatherproof boots on cables connecting to the SR1410 or to apply weatherproof sealing tape around connectors for extra SR1410 Installation & User Guide Ver. 0.01 SR1410 Installation and User Guide Page 13 protection. If moisture enters a connector, it may cause a degradation in performance or even a complete failure of the link. Snow and Ice — Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, a buildup of snow or ice on antennas may cause the link to fail. In this case, the snow or ice 1.3 Ethernet Cabling When a suitable antenna location has been determined, you must plan a cable route from the SR1410 wireless router outdoors to the equipment indoors. If a power injector/adapter module is used, it is for indoor installation only. Consider these points: The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 90 m (295 ft) Determine a building entry point for the cable Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable For lightning protection at the power injector end of the cable, consider using Example Installations: SR1410 Installation & User Guide Ver. 0.01 SR1410 Installation and User Guide SR1410 Installation & User Guide Page 14 Ver. 0.01 SR1410 Installation and User Guide 1.4 Page 15 Grounding It is important that the wireless router, cables, and any supporting structures are properly grounded. The wireless router unit includes a grounding screw for attaching a ground wire. Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes.

A parent (base) qdisc can have multiple child qdiscs which in turn can be parents to other qdiscs. A leaf qdisc is the one which has no children. The HTB is a classfull qdisc which means that traffic flowing through the interface can be classified into flows. The classification can be performed using various filters assigned to the qdisc. The parameter "rate" in the above command specifies the base or guaranteed bit rate of the qdisc corresponding to the class. The parameter burst corresponds to the amount of data in bytes that will be processed at a time for that qdisc. For an ingress qdisc it represents the bytes send up to the network stack for processing. For an egress qdisc it represents the amount of data sent to the hardware for transmitting out. The parameter "ceil" or ceiling represents the maximum bit rate for the qdisc. HTB qdiscs have the capability to borrow bandwidth from peers which will be explained in the subsequent sections. Example: tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 50mbit burst 1mbit ceil 60mbit tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:11 htb rate 20mbit burst 1mbit ceil 40mbit The above commands create qdiscs of class labeled "1:10" and "1:11" for the qdisc "1:1". The parameter "rate" represents the guaranteed or base bit rate for the qdiscs. The parameter "burst" is the amount of data transmitted/received for the qdisc in a given time period. The parameter "ceil" is the maximum bit rate for the qdisc. As mentioned before peer qdiscs can borrow bandwidth from each other if one of the qdiscs is using less than base bandwidth or there is unused bandwidth available. Suppose qdisc 1:10 uses 50mbits but requires a total of 60mbps due to the bandwidth intensive nature of the application.. On the other hand class 1:11 is using 10mbits out of the assigned 20mbits base bandwidth. In this case class 1:10 can borrow the additional 10mbps from 1:11 and use up its maximum assigned bandwidth of 60mbps.

Mesh links are ad-hoc links. In ad-hoc networks, nodes do not start out familiar with the topology of their networks; instead, they have to discover it. The basic idea is that a new node may announce its presence and should listen for announcements broadcast by its neighbors. Each node learns about nodes nearby and how to reach them, and may announce that it, too, can reach them. IP routing protocol which is optimized for mobile ad-hoc networks but can also be used on other wireless ad-hoc networks. SR1410 uses proactive link-state routing protocol which uses Hello and Topology Control (TC) messages to discover and then discriminate link state information throughout the mobile ad-hoc network. Individual nodes use this topology information to compute next hop destinations for all nodes in the network using shortest hop forwarding paths.

Logging is always enabled. 1.14 DHCP Configuration The SR1410 can be configured as a controller less Mesh Point Portal [MPP] or a controller based Mesh Point [MP]. When configured as MPP, the DHCP addresses are allocated by the node itself. The DHCP Directives in the main configuration screen drive the behavior of the mesh node. Normally, the dhcp server running on the network manager serves all the clients connecting to the nodes within a mesh block. The dhcp server needs to be aware of the subnets at the mesh node access points and be able to assign dynamic addresses based on those subnets. The dhcp server shall assign a common dns server to all the clients within the mesh block. The dhcp server shall be aware of the mesh node access point IP address from which the dhcp lease request is received for a client. This AP address is the default router which shall be assigned to the client requesting dhcp lease. The Mesh block network topology comprises several nodes and each node may have an AP within a subnet different from that of the DHCP interface. It is therefore necessary that the DHCP server detect the subnet of the AP from which the DHCP request was originally received on behalf of a client. Once it has the subnet information of this AP, it should assign the requesting client an IP address within the same subnet as the AP. The SR1410 can also be operated an MP where it relies on the network manager to allocate DHCP addresses. On the other hand, it can also act as a DHCP server for a cluster of MPs.

The SR1410 is supplied complete with its own mounting hardware kit for attaching the unit to a 1-2.5” diameter metal pole or tube or as part of a radio mast or tower structure. The supplied SR1410 48V power supply is suitable for outdoor use. The optional SR1410 indoor-rated Power over Ethernet injector (Vivint part #9004H49000) must be deployed indoors, or within an enclosure protecting it from the elements. Hardware installation of the wireless router involves these steps: 1. Mount the SR1410 unit on a wall, pole, mast, or tower using the mounting hardware. 2. Mount external antennas on the same supporting structure as the router and connect them to the router unit. 3. Connect a grounding wire to the SR1410 unit. 4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the SR1410 unit. 5. Connect the power supply to the SR1410, and to an AC power source. 6. Connect the power injector (if used) to the Ethernet cable, a local LAN switch, and an AC power source. 7. Align antennas at both ends of the link. Before mounting antennas to set up your wireless links, be sure you have selected appropriate locations for each antenna. Follow the guidance and information in “Link Planning.” Also before mounting units in their intended locations, you should first configure the devices as described in Section 1.5 “System Setup” and Section 1.6 , “System Configuration.” You should also test the basic operation of the wireless router links in a controlled environment over a very short range, as described in “Testing Basic Link Operation”, Section 2.1.1. 2.1 Before Installing Before installing your SR1410 Outdoor Wireless Access Point/Router, verify that you have the following: Outdoor Ethernet cable of required length of 50 meters (164 feet), or a cable meeting the pin-out configuration specification to the required length (not to exceed 90 meters total), shielded CAT-5 Ethernet 8-pin DIN to RJ-45 Power supply shipped with the SR1410 An appropriate and stable mounting location A suitable electrical grounding point (on AP mounting mast/pole) Appropriate tools (wrench for mounting bolts, Phillips head screwdriver, DC voltmeter (if RSSIbased link alignment is to be performed)) Mounting items not supplied with the SR1410 — screws, bolts, and straps — should be available and at hand prior to installation. SR1410 Installation & User Guide Ver. 0.01 SR1410 Installation and User Guide Page 32 Due to the typically inaccessible location often best suited to deploying an outdoor wireless router (for example, on rooftops, sides of buildings, or on a radio tower) it is recommended that the network administrator pre-provision the SR1410 system to be installed (taking note of settings, passwords, Channel, MAC and IP addresses) prior to physical installation, and confirm that the device is fully operational and free from fault. 2.1.1 Testing Basic Link Operation Set up the units over a very short range (15 to 25 feet), either outdoors or indoors. Connect the units as indicated in this chapter and be sure to perform all the basic configuration tasks outlined in “System Setup.” When you are satisfied that the links are operating correctly, proceed to mount the units in their intended locations. 2.2 Connect External Antennas When deploying a SR1410 Master router unit for a router link or an access point operation, you need to mount external antennas and connect them to the router. Typically, a router link requires a 5 GHz antenna, and an access point or station operation. Perform these steps: 1. Mount the external antenna to the same supporting structure as the router, within 3 m (10 ft) distance, using the bracket supplied in the antenna package. 2. Connect the antenna to the router’s N-type connector using the RF coaxial adapter provided in the antenna package. 3. Apply weatherproofing tape to the antenna connectors to help prevent water entering the connectors. 2.2.1 Frequency, Wavelength and Velocity Instead of saying “cycles per second”, we use the word Hertz (abbreviated Hz) in honor of Heinrich Hertz who discovered radio waves. Also, since we are dealing with high frequencies, we use prefixes like kilo (1,000), Mega (1,000,000) and Giga (1,000,000,000) in front of Hertz, to further simplify the terminology. 5 cycles per second = 5 Hz 5,000 cycles per second = 5 kHz 5,000,000 cycles per second = 5 MHz 5,000,000,000 cycles per second = 5 GHz We know that radio waves travel at the speed of light (~186,000 miles per sec. or 3 x 108 meters per sec.) and we can measure the frequency of the radio waves, therefore we can find out how far the wave travels in 1 cycle by dividing its’ speed by its’ frequency. We call this a wavelength Frequency Wavelength 150 MHz 2.0 m 900 MHz 33.3cm SR1410 Installation & User Guide Ver. 0.01 SR1410 Installation and User Guide Page 33 2.4 GHz 12.5cm 5.8 GHz 52cm 2.2.2 The Decibel The decibel (dB) is a ratio, measured in logarithm, used to measure quantity. A dB has no dimensions. The decibel is used to compare one power (or voltage level) to another. Ratio in dB = 10log10 (Power Ratio) = 20log10 (Voltage Ratio) (Power is proportional to the voltage squared) 20 dB means a power ratio of 102 to 1 or 1,000:1 10 dB means a power ratio of 10 to 1 or 100:1 0 dB means a power ratio of 1 to 1 or 1:1 Because the dB is a ratio, it is dimensionless, however many times reference is made to the unit that is made as a ratio. e.g. dBm in the case of milliwatts 20 dBm means 100:1 over 1 milliwatt or 100mW e.g. converting 4W into dBm 10log10 4000mW / 1mW = 36 dBm Later on we will see that if an antenna has twice the power gain of a half wave dipole (an antenna used as a standard reference), that is a power ratio of 2 over the 1/2 wave dipole, then the antenna is said to have a gain of 3dBd. (3db over the1/2 wave dipole) 10log2=3 A +3dB gain represents a doubling of power while a -3dB loss represents 1/2 of the power 2.3 Align Antenna After wireless router units have been mounted, connected, and their radios are operating, the antennas must be accurately aligned to ensure optimum performance on the router links. This alignment process is particularly important for long-range point-to-point links. In a point-to-multipoint configuration the SR1410 uses an omni-directional or sector antenna, which does not require alignment. SR1410 Installation & User Guide Ver. 0.01 SR1410 Installation and User Guide Page 34 Point-to-Point Configurations – In a point-to-point configuration, the alignment process requires two people at each end of the link. The use of cell phones or two-way radio communication may help with coordination. To start, you can just point the antennas at each other, using binoculars or a compass to set the general direction. For accurate alignment, you must set the transmitter to output in continuous transmit mode, and set the receiver to be in continuous receive frame mode. As the antenna moves horizontally and vertically, the RSSI values vary and are indicated on the management interface. Point-to-Multipoint Configurations – In a point-to-multipoint configuration all Slave routers must be aligned with the Master router antenna. The alignment process is the same as in point-to-point links, but only the Slave end of the link requires the alignment. Steps for aligning antenna: Initialize the transmitting radio to be in continuous transmit mode.
