llighly available configurations can be implemented at the cost ofdeploying redundant hardware
routers. Redundant units (and antennas) can be added at the central sites and/or remote sites
depending on the availability needs ol the applications.

Location of Central Sites
The choice ofcentral site locations is critical for obtaining the highest possible level of system
performance. There are several technical considerations for choosing good central site locations.
including:
Clear line-ofesight (LOS) paths exist from the central site to the remote sites
Distances between central and remote sites allow for good radio path margins
Number of remotes to be supported is within capacity of central site routers
5.3 GHz radio interference should be as low as possible at the central location
Access to power, and network links to backbone networks or data centers exist.

[t is highly recommended to obtain the services of experienced local radio equipment installers.
Number of Central Routers
Up to ten central routers may be co-located at any one central site. when operating using the default
(U.S.) frequency band. The number of routers to be used is based on the total network trattic
capacity to be supported from the site, and the geographical locations ot'the remote sites. lt may be
desirable to increase the number of central routers (beyond the number needed to meet the capacity
requirements) in order to allow the use of higher gain sector antenna to increase the radius ofthe
Coverage area.

Network and Sile Planning
Antenna Considerations
l-Iach central router forms a radio network separate and distinct from each other central router's
network. As such. the installer is free to use whatever types of antennas make the most sense for
each central router. given the required geographical coverage area for each central radio network. it
is allowable to connect more than one antenna to one router’s transmit or receive ports. One
antenna may be connected to multiple routers” receive ports. or using a splitter/isolator. to multiple
routers‘ transmit ports.
Omnidirectional antennas typically provide between 0 and 12 dBi gain. and are most appropriate
when only a Few central routers are co-located, and remote routers are spread around a 360°
azimuth A single central router with an omnidirectional antenna can be used to quickly and
economically deploy a network.
Sectored antennas typically provide between 12 and 18 dBi gain. and typically cover between a 30°
and 120° azimuth. For example. to cover 360° ol'azimuth using 90" azimuth 16 dBi antcnnas. one
would typically use at least four central routers. each connected to its own sector antenna. Since
each central radio forms an independent radio network, sectors may overlap to provide the destred
amount of network capacity to any geographical area. To allow for the ability to re-halance remotes
routers between multiple central site routers. it may be desirable to implement overlapping sectors.
where each remote router is within the beam pattern ofmoie than one central router, For example.
using eight 90° sector antennas would allow each remote router to be configured to communicate
with one of two different central routers; if one central router became too heavily loaded. some of its
remote routers could be reconfigured to use the other central router.
Note that the highest gain antennas will allow for the maximum possible distance. but may not
provide good coverage to close-in remotes that are well below the antenna’s elevation. Adding a
central router that uses a low-gain omnidirectional antenna can cover close-in remotes.
Where their are no regulatory transmit EIRP limits'. the use ol‘sectorcd antennas will generally
increase the radio path strength, making it possible to reach remotes at greater distances. in
countries where there is a transmit EIRP limit, the installer must trade-off between transmitter
power and the gain of the installed antenna. which reduces the distance advantage of using sector
antennas at the central site, Whenever there are multiple co-located central routers. the use of
sectored antennas reduces the level of cross interference between the different radio networks. This
is the generally recommended approach, even it" it does not yield a radio path distance benefit.
To determine the distance obtainable from various combinations of transmit power and antennas
used. first calculate the total RF path available (aflcr allowing for path margins). Note that the gain
of the central antenna should be the gain at the lowest point utilized on its azimuth/elevation. which
is typically 1 to 4 dB lower than its maximum gain.
' lhe U S. FCC regulations place a limit of +36 dBin on the combination ol'transmitter power and antenna gain for
pUinl-tO-multipuint transmitters. Since the central router transmit< to all remotes. the central router and its antenna must
meet this limit. Since the remote router transmits only to a single central router. it is a point-to-point link and is not
subject to this limit. In the special case that the central router is configured With a single remote in a point-to-point
configuration. then the FCC hIKP limit does not apply to either the cenlral or remote router

Avoiding Interference Sources
The greatest potential for serious levels of interference is other 2.4 GHz radio equipment that is
located at the same site as WaveiVel [P 2458 remote routers, or 5.8 GHZ radio equipment that is
located at the same site as W eNet [P 2458 central routers. Other sources of interference could be
other radio equipment operating in the same line of sight as the remote routers. or from nearby

Plan Frequency Hopping Sequences

It is required that the central routers at any one site have unique hopping sequenccs. It is also highly
desirable that any other nearby ccntral Silt) routers have unique hopping sequences, It is a good
practice to record the frequency hopping planning information with the network map.

administration and optimal performance, it is generally recommended to use external routers at each
end ot'tltc point-to-point links connecting central sites to each other and/or exterior networks.
A central site with a single central router can typically be supported by a full-duplex 512-1024
KBPS point-to-point backbone connection, while a central site with ten central routers may require
a link speed of up to 4—6 MBPS (full-duplex)
Wherc there are a small number of Wave/Vet [P 2458 central sites, it is simplest to connect each site
directly to the backbone networkl Where there are many central locations (such as in an extensive
cellular configuration), it may make most sense to connect ecntral locations together into a ring or
mesh network, which in turn is connected to the backbone network (see Figure 6).
Figure 6 Central Sites in Ring Network
Repeater Configurations
it is possible to use two remote routers in a back-to-back configuration to act as n repeater between
two central sites that are located in different directions from the repeater location (see figure 7).
Note that this can use a dedicated central router (as shown) for maximum bandwidth. or can share
the same central router as other remotes if there is limited traffic between the networks.

Plan Connectivity Between Co-Located Central Routers
When there are many remote sttes served from multiple central routers located at a single central
site. the easiest way to administer the routing between the radio networks is to use an external router
connected to the central site that knows the routes to all of the remote sites. It is likely that there is
already a backbone router at the central data center that could perform this function. In this way,
there are only two route tables to be updated when adding or deleting:v a remote router: the table
belonging to the external router, and the table belonging to the centrul router on the radio network
for that remote router.
The alternative approach is to configure a route For each remote site in the route tables of every
central site router that needs connectivity with that remote site. This can be practical when remote
routers are added and deleted from the network infrequently, or when the number oi‘central and
remote routers is small. In this case, only an Ethernet hub is needed to link the Ethernet interfaces
of the central routers.
Plan ll’ Network Addressing
The radio interfaces on a given central router and its associated remote routers form a unique IP
network (or subnctwork), and need to be assigned the same network address. with unique host
addresses within this network This requires allocating a radio IP network address for each central
router. To avoid consuming ll’ addresses for the radio network, it is reconnnended that you use
addresses in the private range of Class C addresses 192.168... The Ethernet interfaces on each
central and remote router are assigned host addresses within their Ethemet networks. [f the central
site is connected to the backbone network by a router (recommended when there are multiple central
site routers). then an IP network address must be assigned for the central site routers' Ethernet
network. It is a good practice to record the IP address planning information with the network map.
Plan Routing Information
The central and remote routers each contain a Route Table that controls how packets are routed
between its Ethernet and radio networks. It is not necessary to add explicit routes for packets
destined for the network addresses of either the radio or Ethernet network. since the router will infer
these routes from the IP addresses and subnet masks for these interfaces. A Destination IP Address
value of “default“ will apply to all packets other than those addressed to the local networks of the
Ethernet and radio interfaces or those with explicit Route Table entries. The Route Table entries
contain.
0 Destination Network Address
e Suhnet Mask For Destination Network
0 Next Hop ll’ Address (address of next router on the local Ethernet or radio network)

NL'I work and Nile Manning
it is common for the remote router‘s default route to have the Next Hop lP Address be that of the
central router‘s radio interface
For a central router. there is typically a route to each remote LAN. Where the central router
connects to a backbone network router. then it is common for the central router‘s default route Next
l'lop IP Address to be the backbone router‘s interface on the central router‘s Ethernet network.
If there is more than one co-locaied central site router, and packets must be routed between the
multiple radio networks. then each central site router needs route table entries for all remote
networks. Alternatively. a separate Ethernet router (not a WuveNe/ [P 2458 router) can be used at
the central site to route pttckeLs between the central routers. allowing each central router to only
need routes to its own remote networks.
Route table entries (other than the default route) apply the subnet mask for the routing decision.
Each route table entry can use a unique subnet mask. and CIDR and supemetting are supported.
Plan Individual Sites
This section details the planning that should be done prior to installing equipment at each specific
site. Whenever possible, it should be completed prior to actual installation. especially for central
site locations, Experienced installers may be able to accomplish these steps at actual remote site
installation time if they carry stocks of the various cable, power, and installation material options.
Location of WaveNet [P 2458 Router
The WaveNe/ [P 2458 router is a single outdoor enclosure designed to be mounted on a 15-25"
(18-63 cm.) mast. The router is typically installed on a communications tower, on top uru
building. or on the side ofa building. The router is connected to indoor data and power sources via
a custom combined data/power cable. The key factors in selecting the specific installation location
are good line of sight between central and remote antennas, and avoiding installations in close
proximity to other 2.4 GHZ (for remotes) and 5.8 GHz (for centrals) radio equipment.
Power Supply Requirements
The routers accept i— 20 to 41 VDC. or 14 to 29 VAC at the power temiinals on the router itself.
The router consumes less than 25 watts (peak). [ft 24 VDC or 24 VAC power sources exist near
the router. these can be used to directly power the router.
if 1 10 VAC or 220 VAC is available. then external 24 VAC transformers are used to convert these
Voltages to a voltage that will be within the router’s operating range. The power transformers
j-IS WuveNel IP 2458 Operation: Manual Version 0.0‘ DRAFT 10/22/98

should be rated to deliver 40 VA. Consult the table below for the acceptable voltage levels at the

Antennas and Cables
Antennas are typically mounted nbovc the routers. sharing a common mast. The antennas typically
come with their own mast mounting hardware. The remote and central antennas typically come
with N-femalc connector(s). and require separate connector cables with N-malc connectors on both
ends. The antenna connection cables should be typically less than two meters in length, although
longer cables can he used; note that long antenna cable runs will cause substantial loss of signal.
An antenna that operates in the 1.42.48 GHZ frequency range, and one that operates 5.770-5,848
(ii-[z frequency range, or a Single antenna that operates in both band (dual-band) is required on each
central and each remote. Wireless. Inc. otters a selection ofdaul-band directional parabolic dish
antennas, single-band panel sector antennas, and single band omni-directional collinear array
antennas that can meet most needs.
Data and Power Cable
The cables connecting the router to the indoor Ethernet equipment and power sources is combined
into a single physical cable that can be split at both the router and the indoor ends. The cable has an
outside plant (05?) rated polyethylenejacket and is gel-filled to prevent water from entering the
cable. "l'hejacket material does not generally mcct indoor flammability regulations, and should be
terminated or coupled to indoor-rated cable it" the indoor cable runs are lengthy, Consult fire and
electrical safety regulations for the rules that apply to each installation site’. The cable length from
the indoor termination to the Wachet lP 2458 can be up to 100 meters. The data cable distance
can be increased (if needed) by using an Ethernet hub/repeater for the IOBase-T connection,

Lightning Protection and Grounding System
Grounding is vitally important to protect indoor equipment and personnel from lightning strikcs to
the outdoor routers. and to generally insurc correct operation of the radio and digital circuitry. lfa
high—quality ground is not available at the planned installation site, it should be constructed prior to
equipment installation.
To construct a good ground. ground rods should penetrate to a depth of about two meters (six feet).
Where the ground is in rocky terrain, make sure that the ground rods penetrate into loose soil. In
sandy soil, use more ground rods to make sure that the ground has sufficient contact with Water
bearing material.
Use #4-#6 AWG wire to connect each ground rod to the equipment to be grounded. The cables
should be free of sharp bends. Each ground cable should he at least two meters in length with at
least one meter separation between each.
Refer to local and national electrical codes to determine acceptable grounding methods.
The router enclosure should be directly connected to ground to insure that it tuncttons correctly.
To protect indoor equipment and personnel from lightning strikes to the router or antenna, the data
and power portions of the combined data/power cable should be individually protected by the use of
lightning suppression equipment at the point where the cables enter the building.
The data portion of the cable has a foil/braid shield that should be directly connected to ground. and
the individual conductors should be connected to appropriate lightning suppression equipment.
which is in turn connected to ground. Since only cortductots 1 (white/orange), 2 (orange), 3
(white/green). and 6 (green) need to be connected to the indoor equipment, only these conductors
need be connected to the lightning suppression equipment, The other conductors should terminate
prior to entering the building, and ideally should be connected directly to ground. Although the

eahle shield is grounded to the enclosure at the weather-seal. this ground is not sufficient to provide
lightning protection to indoor equipment and personnel.
The power portion of the cable has two conductors, both of which should be connected to an
nppropriate lightning suppression unit at the point of entry into the building.
To protect the router itself from a lightning strike, it could be placed within a larger metal enclosure
that is grounded, and internally contains lightning suppression equipment for the data, power,
transmitter cttordination, and antenna leads. Alternatively, lightning protection equipment could be
installed in the close vicinity of the router7 such that only very short cahle runs exist between the
lightning protection equipment and the router.
Redundant Central Router Configurations
Redundant central site configurations are created by installing two identically—configured physical
central routers to implement each logical central router, In an operating network, one physical
router (in each logical pair) is powered up and the other one is powered down at any one time. They
can share antennas using an antenna cable splitter/isolator (at a loss ofabout 3-4 dB ot'radio path),
or each can have their own antennas. Upon detecting a failure, power can be switched between the
routers manually (if the network manager has physical access to the individual router power
supplies). or by way ofa remote power controller accessed through the Ethernet data link. Contact

Router Configuration Procedure
Refer to Figures 2.2 and 2.3 when performing the following procedure.
1. Ground the router enclosure at the grounding lug or any other point.
2. Apply an antenna or attenuator to the 2,4 GHz antenna port on a central or the 5,8 Gl-lz antenna
port on a remote on the enclosure. Note that there must always be a load on the transmit
antenna port when power is being supplied to the unit. Failure to do so may cause damage
to the radio interface.
3. Open the enclosure door
4. Move the jumper from Store to. 1’4‘
Ur
[1' using the actual data/power cable to be used at the installation site, attach the weather-seal to
the enclosure using the supplied lock nuts. lf using> a temporary test cable, this step can be
omitted.
6. Connect the data cable between the router and the Ethernet huh (or crossover modular jack
terminal box), and the power cable to the power supply using the data/power cable Connect the
power supply to the power source.
