See “3. Backhaul” on page 26 for more information. 2.5 WRU Anchor PlateThis WRU Anchor Plate (10-0028) is designed to reduce downtime due to tipped units and to reduce losing units as a result of theft. The shape maintains the WRU stacking ability while providing three solid anchor points. Constructed of light-weight and durable thermoplastic polyurethane, it attaches to the bottom of the WRU with minimal effort while maintaining the integrity of the WRU seal. The anchor plate is compatible with the temperature range of the WRU which is -40°C to +75°C (-40°F to +167°F).Figure 2–12 Geophone Self-Test FailureNOTE See “D. LED Indicators” on page 163 for an explanation of the LED status and error conditions.If a WRU self test fails, the WRU will continue to the next test. Skip a self-test by tipping the WRU geophone down and then returning it to the upright position (flat on the ground).

Backhaul3.1 OverviewIn network communications, the backhaul is the part of the network that contains the links and equipment between the core network and the sub networks. The following table defines concepts associated with backhaul communications:Table 3–1 Backhaul Communication ConceptsTerm Definition ReferencePoint-to-Point A method where each radio node in the network captures and disseminates its own data as well as serves as a relay for other radio nodes in the network sending data along a path, hopping from one node to the next.This is how the RT System 2 WRUs send information to the LIU and how LIUs communicate with each other in a point-to-point configuration.Also called Bucket Brigade or String-of-Pearls.•“Point-to-Point Single Backhaul Data Direction” on page 28•“Point-to-Point Dual Backhaul Data Direction” on page 29•“4. Point-to-Point Backhaul” on page 65Point-to-Multipoint A method where each line station LIU communicates directly with the recorder LIU.The backhaul is composed of a number of line station mast/radio/LIUs pointing to a recording truck mast/radio/LIU. The following list describes the most common configurations:•Point-to-Multipoint – A single recording truck radio and multiple line station radios•Point-to-Multipoint (redundant) – A single active recording truck radio, a backup (redundant) recording truck radio, and multiple line station radios•Point-to-Multipoint (custom) – A combination of recording truck radios and line station radiosAlso called Star Configuration. •“Point-to-Multipoint Backhaul Data Direction” on page 30•“5. Point-to-Multipoint Backhaul” on page 98
R01.i RT System 2 v2.3 Deployment Guide 27© 2010-2014 Wireless Seismic, Inc. All rights reserved.3. BackhaulOverviewIn the RT System 2 system, the LIU communicates with the Central Software System (CSS) computer in the central recording truck along a backhaul on the 5.8 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) radio band. Some smaller systems may not require a backhaul.Power over Ethernet (PoE) A technology that passes electrical power along an Ethernet cable. PoE is used where DC power is not available and USB unsuitable. Power can be supplied at the end of a network span or somewhere in the middle.PoE switches supply power at the end of a span. The RT System 2 Line Interface Unit (LIU) acts as a switch with PoE.PoE injectors supply power somewhere between the PoE switch and the powered device. They inject power and do not affect the data. A discrete PoE injector is used when configuring the backhaul radios.•“Ubiquiti Rocket/Bullet Private Network Connection” on page 107•“Ubiquiti NanoStation Private Network Connection” on page 72Table 3–1 Backhaul Communication ConceptsTerm Definition Reference

BackhaulBackhaul Components3.2.1 LIUThe data transmitted by the WRUs is collected by the Line Interface Unit (LIU). The LIU acts as the interface between the network of WRUs and the backhaul equipment. The LIU has an Ethernet port that can be connected directly to a computer, or more commonly, to an armored fiber optic cable or a backhaul radio. Backhaul radios operate in the 5.8 GHz band. A second array of WRUs can be deployed on the other side of the LIU, symmetrically or asymmetrically around the LIU. The LIU is shown in the following figure:Before the Central Software System can communicate with the LIU, you must set up the backhaul.Figure 3–7 Line Interface Unit (LIU)NOTE See “D. LED Indicators” on page 163 for an explanation of the LED status and error conditions.

BackhaulBackhaul Components3.2.2 LIU BatteryPower is supplied to the LIU components by way of a 12 V DC battery. The external battery is not supplied as part of the backhaul system. See the Troubleshooting Guide, Best Practices chapter, LIU Batteries section for instructions on how to hot-swap the LIU battery. 3.2.3 LIU and WRU AntennasThe following table lists the supported antennas for the LIUs and the WRUs (all models). The remote and central backhauls use the same antennas:There is an auto-power-leveling feature built into the firmware. It works in conjunction with the RSSI parameters to keep the power at a defined level. If the Unit Thresholds ĺCommand (or Data)RSSI parameter is set to any number greater than zero, power-leveling is enabled. 3.2.4 Line RadiosThere are two line radio options provided as follows:iUbiquiti Bullet – Currently supported for point-to-point (string-of-pearls) backhauls:Ɣ5 GHz Radio (US) (56-0019 US)Ɣ5 GHz Radio (Intl) (56-0024)iUbiquiti NanoStation M5 – Currently supported for point-to-multi-point (star) backhauls:Ɣ5 GHz Radio Assembly (US) (56-0035 US)Ɣ5 GHz Radio Assembly (Intl) (56-0032)The Ubiquiti Bullet line radio is normally used with a directional antenna; however an omnidirectional antenna is also included. The antennas are attached at the top of the mast and the radio is attached to the mast at eye level as shown in the following figure.TIP The backhaul power requirements vary depending on the hardware in use and period of use. For example, you may be using one or two radios. Supply enough power to ensure there is enough power for the entire duration of the time you are using the backhaul.

Point-to-Point Backhaul4.1 OverviewThe backhaul is composed of a number of line station mast/radio/LIUs. The number of poles pole (masts/towers) in your point-to-point spread must be a multiple of the number of channels used. A channel is an 80 MHz wide frequency band with 40 MHz on either side of the center frequency. For example, if the center frequency is 2.412 GHz, the frequency range for that channel is 2.372 to 2.452 GHz.When using a system with six possible channels, the backhaul could have just 6 poles, or a multiple of 6 poles: 6, 12, 18, 24, and so on.This section uses an example of six possible channels, and 18 line station mast/radio/LIUs. Each pole (mast/tower) has two radios and one LIU as shown in the following figure. Figure 4–1 Channel – 80 MHz Wide Frequency BandNOTE If using the mast at the recording truck, connect the LIU with an Ethernet or Fiber cable to the recording truck.

Point-to-Point BackhaulOverviewIn some cases—such as when line-of-sight cannot be established—using fiber cables can improve communication. Install the radios and poles using the same labels and positioning; however, only the odd or even pairings are used for radio communication. The other pairings are linked together with fiber cable as shown in the following figure.NOTE The primary indicator for radio-to-radio communication is the alpha-numeric label. The colored label is provided as a visual indicator to ensure that the pole is pointed correctly to the next radio. For example, a yellow radio cannot communicate with all yellow radios.Figure 4–3 Radio-to-Radio Communication

If necessary, ±30° off of perpendicular should also work. • The PN radio should be at least 3 ft (0.91 m) from the line pole (Pole 1 in the example shown in “Connecting the Recording Truck with a Pendant Radio Link” on page 93). Use as much distance as you can as allowed by your cable lengths. • The PN radio and pole should be between the line and the recording truck as shown in “Connecting the Recording Truck with a Pendant Radio Link” on page 93.Batteries • Adding a third radio to the LIU increases the battery usage at this position. To ensure that the LIU does not reset due to a low or depleted battery, keep two batteries connected to the LIU at all times.• The battery with the lowest voltage is used until the voltage falls below the Unit Thresholds ? LIU Voltage Warning number (usually about 11V). At this point, the LIU auto-swaps to the battery with the higher voltage. Monitor the battery status in the Ground Equipment Table. Replace the low-voltage battery with a fully-charged battery as soon as possible after the battery auto-swap occurs.

For example, if the center frequency is 2.412 GHz, and the frequency band is 80 MHz wide, there are 40 MHz on either side of the center frequency, and the frequency range for that channel is 2.372 to 2.452 GHz.Some custom configurations will require multiple channels operating at the same time. Verify that channel ranges do not overlap to avoid interference.The recording truck radios are configured Access Points (A) and the line station radios are configured as Stations (S).An Access Point communicates only with a Station. An Access Point cannot communicate with an Access Point, and a Station cannot communicate with a Station. Figure 5–1 Channel, 80 MHz Wide Frequency BandNOTE A line station mast requires an LIU to communicate with the recording truck. A mast located at the recording truck can communicate using an LIU or a PoE connected directly to the recording truck computer. See the following figures for examples.

Point-to-Multipoint BackhaulInstall and Troubleshoot5.4.1 Using one Recorder RadioThis section describes how the steps to configure one recorder radio, and multiple line station radios.To install and troubleshoot the radios:1Using the plan created in “Create Plan and Map” on page 111, install all of the radios, masts, and LIUs. Point radio pairs directly at each other where possible (see “Maintain Line-of-Sight” on page 112). Some inaccuracy is tolerable; however, align the radios as close as possible using binoculars or compass bearing.2If your configuration includes a redundant recorder radio, do not supply power to it yet (RECORDER_B). 3From the recording truck, open the Ubiquiti Discovery Tool. Verify that all of the radios are listed, and verify that each of the radios has a valid IP Address. Note the following:ƔIf a radio is listed, that means there is an Ethernet path to the radio. ƔIf a line station radio has a valid IP address that means the DHCP is active, DHCP is being accepted by the radios, and DHCP is being passed from the recorder radio. ŹDHCP server-assigned IP addresses are 10.xxx.xxx.xxxŹNon-DHCP server-assigned IP addresses are 192.168.1.xxx 4If the recorder radio is the only radio listed, the problem is probably at the recorder radio. Perform the following steps:aVerify that the recorder radio is connected to the antenna.bVerify that the antenna mast is elevated to the correct height cVerify that the recorder radio has DHCP by validating the IP address displayed in the Ubiquiti Discovery tool. It should not be 192.168.1.20 (factory default). If it is 192.168.1.20, contact Wireless Seismic for DHCP support.dReload the configuration file on the recorder radio.eIf the recorder radio is still the only radio listed, proceed to the line station radios.5If a line station radio is not listed, send a troubleshooter to the radio that is not listed and perform the following steps:aVerify that the line station radio is securely connected to the LIU with a known-good cable. bVerify that the LIU has active LED lights (the battery has power).cVerify that the LIU has a flashing LNK LED. Note the following:ŹA flashing LNK LED confirms that the LIU can communicate over the network and obtain an IP address through DHCP.ŹThis step helps identify the exact location in the network where communications are broken by proving the network is active between the two radios on a specific pole.ŹIf the LNK LED is not flashing, replace the Ethernet cable.ŹIf the LNK LED is still not flashing, replace the battery.ŹIf the LNK LED is still not flashing, reload the radio configuration file.ŹIf the LNK LED is still not flashing, replace the LIU.dVerify that a known-good Ethernet cable is securely attached to the radio.eConnect a laptop to the LIU. IMPORTANT: The Ethernet ports on the LIU are PoE enabled. When connecting a laptop computer to the LIU, use a non-powered cable (60-0039) to protect the computer’s Ethernet port. Do not use a powered Ethernet cable (60-0054). See “Ethernet Cable Connections Comparison” on page 118 for more information.

BatteriesLithium Ion Batteries7.1.2 Handling and Safety GuidelinesObserve the following handling and safety guidelines:iIf a battery pack has leaking fluids, do not touch any fluids. Dispose of a leaking battery pack. In case of eye contact with fluid, do not rub eyes. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids until no evidence of the fluid remains. Seek medical attention. iDo not disassemble, crush, or puncture a batteryiDo not short the external contacts on a batteryiDo not dispose of a battery in fire or wateriDo not expose a battery to temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F)iKeep the battery away from childreniAvoid exposing the battery to excessive shock or vibrationiDo not use a damaged batteryiLithium Ion battery packs MUST be completely discharged before disposaliAlthough there may be local or state restrictions, lithium ion batteries are considered by the Federal Government as “non-hazardous universal waste”. There are restrictions for large quantity handlers of universal waste that define labeling, containment, and so on. Whenever possible the batteries must be discharged before disposal. Battery leads/contacts should be taped off to prevent accidental shorting. Each battery pack should be placed in a plastic bag.iRecycling is encouraged when practical and applicable. The batteries contain recyclable material and are accepted by several battery recycling companies.
