6. Troubleshooting and Tips

6.1 Best Practices

This section provides some tips on working with the equipment.

6.1.1 24 Ah Batteries

In order to maintain the best possible communication channel, observe the

following tips:

Place a fully charged 24 Ah battery on the backhaul every day.(90-0012)

Keep extra 24 Ah batteries charged up at the staging area.

Store 24 Ah batteries at the staging area when not in use. Deep

discharging of the batteries can shorten their lifespan considerably.

6.1.2 PoE

When temperature swings are extreme, or weather is severe, store the PoE

boxes in the recording truck at night.

To ensure a protected connection, be sure to use an Ethernet cable with a

protective shell (65-0051) when connecting Ethernet cables to the PoE (see

Figure 3–8 Protective Ethernet Connector on page 38).

6.1.3 Urban Environments

The following could impact your configuration in urban environments:

You may need to use repeaters when crossing a road.

You may need to extend the antenna with coaxial cable

You may need to adjust WRU placement and antenna strength when

crossing a road.

You will need to consider the presence of power lines and buildings when

placing WRUs and backhaul components.

CAUTION

Do not allow the PoE battery to remain connected at a voltage of 22V or

less. Damage to the equipment could occur.

5Mbps Draft

6. Troubleshooting and Tips

Troubleshooting

6.1.4 Ethernet Cables

Use CAT6 enhanced quality cables.

To ensure a protected connection, be sure to use an Ethernet cable with a

protective shell (65-0051) when connecting Ethernet cables to the PoE (see Figure

3–8 Protective Ethernet Connector on page 38).

6.1.5 Antennas

When placing or selecting antennas in, consider the following:

In areas where there is a steep inclination, smaller gain antennas may provide

a better signal.

In areas where there is a steep inclination, try to reduce the inclination by

going up or down at an angle rather than straight up or down.

Use repeaters to cover overpass and steep inclination situations.

If you need more signal strength, use an extender with a riser to elevate the

antenna. This is the typical scenario with the BSU at the backhaul location.

Problem Solutions

Not communicating • Try sending a ping command in a CMD window to the IP address of the

radio.

• If you are trying to connect directly with a computer, make sure you

have configured a private network (see “Create a Private Network” on

page 46).

• Ensure that you have configured the radios as follows:

- FM1100 = mesh POINT (remote backhaul)

- FM3100 = mesh END (central backhaul)

Cannot access GUI If you configure two FM1100 radios on the same mast to be a mesh POINT

and a mesh END, they will communicate over the switch and lock

everything else out of the communication loop. They must both be

configured as mesh POINTs

directional antennas which has allowed Fluidmesh to break the mould and

create a product line that is a game changer in the wireless backhauling arena.

You won't need to install external antennas. You won't need to deal with

coaxial cables, lighting suppressors, and grounding. The Fluidmesh

1100 MITO and the Fluidmesh 3100 MITO have an integrated radio-antenna

solution with an outdoor rated enclosure that is slightly bigger than two decks

of cards. The Fluidmesh 11oo MITO mounts a 2x2 MIMO patch antenna and

can be used to create point to point, point to multipoint, and mesh networks

providing unparalleled performances and a compact form factor. The Fluidmesh

3100 MITO mounts a 2x2 MIMO sector antenna and is designed for medium

and large point to multipoint deployments with up to 150 clients.

Tri-band Radio operating at 4.9 GHz, and 5.1-5.8 GHz

The Fluidmesh MITO Series features one tri-band radio and can operate at 4.9

GHz, and 5.1-5.8 GHz and modulate up to 300 Mbps. The preferred frequency

can be easily selected through a web based interface.

Optimized Prodigy Transmission Protocol for maximum Reliability

The Fluidmesh MITO Series employs Prodigy, Fluidmesh's proprietary high

performance 'intelligent' transmission protocol, built to overcome the limits of

standard license-free protocols and to deliver a wireless infrastructure with a

higher level of reliability. Prodigy was developed to transmit any IP-compatible

R03.h RT 1000 1.5.0 Deployment Guide 95

C. Fluidmesh Radio Specifications

The Fluidmesh Mito Series

traffic including data, video, and voice. At the base of our innovative transmission

protocol, there is a traffic optimization algorithm that allows every Fluidmesh

device to assign a specific level of priority and reliability to every packet

transmitted. This process allows the wireless network to automatically adjust its

transmission parameters based on the type of traffic transmitted. The overall

result is a better, more reliable, multi-service wireless infrastructure.

Compact Design for Easy Installation

The Fluidmesh MITO Series has a compact form factor designed for low visual

impact deployments. The integrated panel antenna makes for easy installation and

supports a range of up to 30 miles in line of sight. The provided low-power POE

injector guarantees a straight-forward set-up.

FluldThrottle™

The Fluidmesh MITO Series is based on the innovative FluidThrottle™ technology

which allows the user to limit the total cost of ownership of the wireless network

by paying only for the amount of bandwidth required. Additional throughput can be

easily achieved by upgrading the system with software plug-ins in case the

bandwidth requirements increase over time. This solution makes Fluidmesh the

most cost-effective and flexible wireless solution provider in the market.

FluidMAX™

The Fluidmesh MITO Series supports the patent-pending FluidMAX™ technology

and can be used to create Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint, and Mesh

architectures. Thanks to FluidMAX™, the Fluidmesh MITO Series can operate with

a centralized medium access control protocol, or with a distributed medium access

control protocol, depending on the network layout. That means that our units can

operate in either CSMA or TDMA. The decision is made automatically by the

network based on its layout and requires no user intervention.

EasyMesh® Platform and FMQuadro Interface

The Fluidmesh MITO Series includes EasyMesh™. The EasyMesh technology allows

the user to set the same range of private IP addresses across the entire network.

The Fluidmesh MITO Series also includes the FMQuadro™ web interface which

allows the user to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the wireless network in real

time without the need of additional software or a server. The unit comes with a

built-in spectrum analyzer, a real-time bandwidth monitoring tool, and a wizard to

facilitate the configuration of the system.

AES-128 Encryption Support (FIPS-197 Compliant)

The Fluidmesh MITO Series includes support for 128 bit AES Encryption at the link-

level which can be used for FIPS-197 compliance. Because AES Is Implemented in

hardware, there is no loss in terms of performance when AES is enabled.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Support

The Fluidmesh MITO Series supports SNMP version 3. The Simple Network

Management Protocol allows the user to centrally manage the mesh devices with a

D. LED Indicators

Error LEDs remain persistent throughout the self-discovery process and are turned

off upon completion. If certain self-tests fail, it is possible that the WRU will power

down.

If a WRU self test fails, the WRU will continue to the next test.

You can skip a self-test by tipping the WRU geophone down and then returning it

to the upright position (flat on the ground).
