Setup and Deployment 1 Section 1 - Overview Introduction The wireless broadband system allows a network operator to deploy a wireless, multi-hopping ad hoc network. This document describes how to setup, configure, and deploy a system to operate in infrastructure mode. Infrastructure mode allows the user’s to have access to a wired network. For a deployment that does not need access to a wired network, refer to the “ Setup and Deployment for Peer-to-Peer Mode” document. The system is designed for easy installation. The infrastructure components of a system are preinstalled with a default configuration for connection to a wired network. Any configuration items described in this document are for site-specific information. MeshNetworks recommends that the Network Operator receive setup and deployment training at MeshNetworks’ facility prior to deploying the network. MeshNetworks may optionally provide the Network Operator assistance with site surveys and deployment. Note: The MWR6300 Wireless Routers and IAP6300 Intelligent Access Points require “professional installation” to ensure the installation is performed in accordance with FCC licensing regulations.

Setup and Deployment 3 Section 2 - Description of the System Introduction MeshNetworks develops Mobile Broadband communications systems with “meshed” architectures. That is, each node can connect directly, or indirectly (by hopping through other nodes), with any other node in the network. The peer-to-peer nature of the mesh architecture combined with data rate control in each subscriber and infrastructure node in the network insures reliable delivery while providing increased network capacity through geographic reuse of the frequency spectrum. The network comprises four distinct elements: • Subscriber Devices (SDs) • Wireless Routers (WRs) • Intelligent Access Points (IAPs) • Mobile Internet Switching Controllers (MiSCs) The overwhelming portion of the value that MeshNetworks provides is in the Wireless Modem Card (WMC). The WMC is used in Subscriber Devices as well as in the Wireless Router and Intelligent Access Point (IAP), both of which are types of infrastructure equipment. MeshNetworks provides a Mobile Internet Switching Controller (MiSC) which is assembled from industry standard equipment and conforms to industry standards. MeshNetworks also provides the network applications, which are required for proper operation and value extraction from the mobile Internet system. Figure 1. Elements of the System All network elements are designed to support mobile applications. Subscriber Devices can be either mobile or fixed, while the remaining components are typically fixed. Wireless Routers and
MeshNetworks 4 IAPs can be mounted on utility poles, light poles, traffic apparatus, billboards, and buildings. Their fixed positions allow the Subscriber Device to pinpoint its location within one second. WRs and IAPs can also be mobile, attached to emergency vehicles, utility vehicles, or fleet vehicles. It is important to note that the WMC technology within a Subscriber Device is identical to the WMC technology in Wireless Routers and IAPs. The system was designed to minimize the cost associated with deploying a mobile Internet with end user data access rates on the order of DSL or Cable Modem. The chosen metric of network efficiency for a data centric network is bits per second per Hertz per square kilometer per dollar (bps/hz/km2/$). This metric balances the user data rates, allocated bandwidth, coverage area, and cost. One of the most important factors in optimizing this metric is the choice of network architecture. Subscriber Devices (SDs) The MeshNetworks’ Wireless Modem Card (WMC) is provided as a PCMCIA form factor device. The WMC is used with an off-the-shelf IP-enabled laptop computer. These two devices together make up a Subscriber Device (SD). The WMC provides access to the fixed infrastructure network and other networks, such as the Internet, and it can also function as a Wireless Router and repeater for other SDs. SDs can therefore be a key part of the network infrastructure. Adding subscribers can effectively increase the number of Wireless Routers in the network, which increases the number of alternative paths that subscribers may utilize. This can reduce both the time and cost to deploy network infrastructure, while also increasing the spectral efficiency and therefore the capacity of the network. In addition, because SDs can also operate in an ad hoc peer-to-peer mode, two or more SDs can form a network without the need for any fixed infrastructure. Wireless Routers (WRs) The Wireless Router (WR) is a low-cost small-sized wireless device that is primarily deployed to seed a geographical area, extending the range between IAPs and subscribers, and to simultaneously increase the network’s spectral efficiency. Wireless Routers provide a number of functions in the network, such as: • Range Extension for Subscriber Devices and IAPs • Hopping Points for subscriber peer-to-peer networking • Automatic Load Balancing • Route Selection • Network capacity optimization through small packet consolidation • Fixed reference for geo-location services The Wireless Router's small size and light weight allow it to be mounted almost anywhere. No towers are required. WR software can be updated via over-the-air downloads.
Setup and Deployment 5 Intelligent Access Points (IAPs) The Intelligent Access Point (IAP) is a low-cost small device that acts as the transition point from the wireless network to the wired core network and from there, through media gateways, out to the Internet. Each IAP offers up to 6 Mbps burst data rate to subscribers. IAPs support the 10/100 base-T Ethernet interface. Other interfaces are supported through commercially available media translation devices. If additional network capacity is required, more IAPs can be easily deployed - without the need for extensive RF or site planning. IAPs provide functions such as: • Local mobility management of SDs • Fixed reference for geo-location services • Hopping points for subscriber peer-to-peer networking • Transition point from the wireless to the wired portions of the network • Route Selection The IAP’s small size and light weight allow it to be mounted anywhere power and network connectivity are available. No towers are required. IAP software can be updated via over-the-wire downloads. Mobile Internet Switching Controller (MiSC) The Mobile Internet Switching Controller (MiSC) provides connectivity between the IAPs and wired world, and hosts the network’s management and provisioning functions. The MiSC is composed of off-the-shelf hardware components, such as LAN routers and application servers. MiSC software consists of both off-the-shelf and MeshNetworks’ proprietary software, MeshManager. The MeshManager software provides functions for the network such as: • Subscriber Provisioning, Management, and Authentication • Configuration and Fault Management • Network Monitoring and Reporting
MeshNetworks 6 Operational View of the System Figure 2 shows the different ways in which a subscriber can reach an IAP. It can connect directly, or hop through any number or combination of WRs and SDs. Additionally, if the subscriber wishes to execute a peer-to-peer application such as a file transfer, the subscriber can communicate directly, or through any combination of SDs, WRs, and IAPs. The ability to use ad hoc routing to forward traffic improves the scalability of the mobile wireless Internet. In particular, the ability for the user to accomplish a peer-to-peer application without the use of infrastructure has tremendous advantages. A significant problem in every mobile wireless network is backhaul. The architecture provides the ability to route traffic from applications through SDs and WRs without ever reaching an IAP or the wired Internet. This reduces the amount of backhaul required by enabling the SDs to accomplish the backhaul whenever the opportunity arises. This results in lower deployment costs, reduced backhaul, and lower operating expenditures. The service provider can provide the same level of service with less equipment by empowering the SDs with ad hoc networking capability.

The IAP6300 requires professional installation to ensure that the installation is performed in accordance with FCC licensing regulations. The principle function of the IAP is to provide the Subscriber Devices in the coverage area of the IAP access to wired services. The IAP also provides a fixed location reference for Geo-Location (optional feature), provides wireless routing for units in the IAPs coverage area, and is the principal network management interface to associated Wireless Routers and Subscriber Devices. The IAP provides a mounting point for a mounting bracket that can be attached to either a pole or a flat surface. For a deployment, a permanent AC power source for each IAP must be provided. The RJ-45 weatherproof plug can be terminated in the field, allowing custom

Bracket Adjustment Bolts Deployment The IAP may be mounted on a pole having a diameter of 1-3.5 inches, utilizing the provided bracket. The antenna must have a separation distance of at least 2 meters from the body of all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Users and installers must be provided with antenna installation and transmitter operating conditions to satisfy RF exposure compliance.
MeshNetworks 6 When deploying the IAP, the antenna should be a minimum of 30 inches from any nearby metal poles to avoid distortion of the RF pattern. The IAP must have an Ethernet connection to the MiSC. If the distance between the IAP and the MiSC is greater than 100 meters, the Network Operator may utilize a T1 with the optional Net-to-Net boxes. The IAP has a 5V, 3-pin, power out connection on the side of the box to power the Net-to-Net boxes. Other media converters may be used at the network operator’s discretion. The installation location must provide AC power to the IAP. It is the responsibility of the Network Operator to ensure that the installation complies with any local building codes and permits. Initial IAP Configuration Prior to attempting configuration of the IAP, the IAP must be powered on and have connectivity to the MiSC. Geo-location is an optional configuration item that is entered into an infrastructure device via the Device Manager tool, located on the MeshManager server (refer to the MeshManager User’s Guide). MeshNetworks recommends that a DGPS receiver be used to obtain accurate GPS coordinates, and that the longitude, latitude, and altitude values have 5 digits following the decimal point. Testing Once there is an Ethernet connection to the MiSC, verify the health of the IAP with the following procedure: 1. Apply power to the IAP. 2. Obtain the transceiver MAC address that was recorded in Section 4 - MAC Address Tables. The address will be in the format 00-05-12-0A-xx-yy. 3. From MeshManager, display devices using the MAC address. 4. Select the appropriate IAP in the device tree, and then ping the device (right click and select ping). A response to the ping commands verifies that both the transceiver and SBC are communicating.
Setup and Deployment 7 Wireless Router (WR) The MWR6300 (Wireless Router) is an infrastructure device positioned in a fixed location, such as on a pole, wall, or rooftop. The MWR6300 requires professional installation to ensure the installation is performed in accordance with FCC licensing regulations. The Wireless Routers provides range extension, a means to route around obstructions, and a fixed location reference for use in Geo-Location (an optional feature). The MWR6300s comes with a mounting bracket that can be attached to a pole with a diameter of 1-3.5 inches . For a deployment, a permanent AC power source for each WR must be provided. Equipment The following list defines the hardware components needed to setup a WR: • WR Box with N-type Antenna Connector • 120V A/C Power Cable with a NEMA 5-15 plug • Antenna with N-type Male Antenna Connector • Mounting Bracket The Network Operator must supply the following: • Mounting Location • 120V A/C Power Source • Hand tools for bracket installation Optional Configurations: • Power Cable to connect to a Fisher-Pierce 7570B photoelectric cell Approved Antennas Options: Manufacturer Part Number Gain Type Maxrad Z1578 8 dBi Onmi Maxrad Z1576 4 dBi Onmi Hyperlink HG2409MU 8 dBi Onmi Hyperlink HG2407U 7.5 dBi Onmi Refer to the WR data sheet for a complete list of options.
MeshNetworks 8 Record MAC Address of the MWR6300 The transceiver MAC address is recorded on the label located on the antenna side of the MWR6300 as shown in Figure 10.

MWR6300 External Connection Points Assemble the WR using the following procedure: 1. If desired, mount the WR box using the enclosed bracket. Refer to the procedure in the IAP assembly section of this document. 2. Insert the Antenna into the N-type Connector on the top of the box, and rotate to close. 3. Insert the Power Plug into the 4-pin Connector. 4. The transceiver MAC address is recorded on the back of the WR. Record this number in Section 4 - MAC Address Tables, as it will be required to configure and test the device. 5. The Test Port is unused during deployment. Deployment The MWR6300 can be mounted on a pole by using the provided bracket. When deploying the MWR6300, the antenna should be a minimum of 30 inches from any nearby metal poles to avoid distortion of the RF pattern. The antenna must have a separation distance of at least 2 meters from the body of all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Users and installers must be provided with antenna installation and transmitter operating conditions to satisfy RF exposure compliance. Typically, wireless routers are distributed within a network to extend range and guarantee coverage. A rule of thumb is to deploy 3-4 hop networks to optimize range, latency, and throughput. The MWR6300 installation location must provide AC power for the device. It is the responsibility of the Network Operator to ensure that the installation complies with any local building codes and permits. Initial Configuration The optional configuration process for Geo-Location is the same as the IAP.
MeshNetworks 10 Testing Verify the operation of the MWR6300 using the following procedure: 1. Apply power to the MWR6300. 2. Obtain the transceiver MAC address that was recorded in Section 4 - MAC Address Tables. The address will be in the format 00-05-12-0A-xx-yy. 3. From MeshManager, display devices using the MAC address. 4. Select the appropriate WR in the device tree, and then ping the device (right click and select ping). A response to the ping command verifies that the transceiver is communicating.

The Subscriber Devices must be manually configured to access the DNS server in order to resolve web URLs. (See WMC6300 User’s Guide for instructions on this.)
Setup and Deployment 13 MiSC Assembly The MiSC hardware consists of commercial off-the-shelf components. The components are pre-configured with a basic configuration that requires minimal site-specific changes. The SMC switch arrives configured as two virtual LANs. The upper row of Ethernet ports is for the server subnet; the lower row of ports is for the wireless subnet. Unpack the SMC switch and mount as desired (either in a rack or on a table top). Connect the switch to a power source. Unpack the Cisco router labeled “EdgeRTR” and connect to a power source. Plug interface labeled “10BT Ethernet” into the Internet or the Network Operator’s private network. (The network operator supplies this cable; it will be an Ethernet cable for connecting to a hub or switch, or an Ethernet crossover cable if connecting to another router.) Plug interface labeled “10/100 Ethernet” into the SMC switch on port 1. Unpack the Cisco router labeled “CoreRTR” and connect to a power source. Plug interface labeled “10BT Ethernet” into the SMC switch on port 12. Plug the interface labeled “10/100 Ethernet” into the SMC switch on port 24. Unpack the Sun Blade/MeshManager server and monitor and connect to a power source. Plug the network interface into any of the ports 2-11 on the SMC Switch. Connect Network Operator supplied computer running Windows 2000. Plug the network interface into any of the ports 2-11 on the SMC Switch. Connect the IAPs to any of the ports 13-23 on the SMC switch.
MeshNetworks 14 Onsite Configuration of Routers EdgeRTR Configuration The EdgeRTR must have on-site configuration done if there is a desire to connect to the Internet. Prior to performing the following steps, obtain the IP address, netmask, and default gateway for the public interface from the Internet Service Provider. These are shown as ip.ip.ip.ip, nm.nm.nm.nm, and gw.gw.gw.gw, respectively, in the instructions below. Also, obtain the IP address of the EdgeRTR, it will be in the form of 172.a.0.1. Telnet into the EdgeRTR from a computer connected to the server subnet. Use the address 172.a.0.1 to connect to the EdgeRTR. Update the public IP information using the commands below Password:g0ld1 EdgeRTR>enable Password:g0ld11 EdgeRTR#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Next, test access to the Internet using a web browser. If this fails troubleshoot and retry.
Setup and Deployment 15 Network Configuration – Device Manager “Device Manager” is a utility located on the MeshManager server. It is used to configure and monitor the deployed network. Refer to the MeshManager User’s Guide for detailed instructions on how to use the Device Manager. Mea systems are delivered with the initial configuration of IAPs, WRs, and SDs in the MeshManager system. This allows for easy testing of the system as units are tested on site. There are two basic tests to verify correct operation the system. The first test is to perform ping tests to each device and the second test is to verify access the Internet. Network Configuration – IAP Configuration Via Web Interface A second method of performing various network configuration functions for an IAP may be accomplished using a standard web browser. Connect a host PC to the switch in the MiSC. Using a standard Internet Browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Netscape, enter the IP Address corresponding to the IAP to be configured as shown in Figure 13. If you do not know the IP address of the IAP then contact the system administrator. Optionally, if the network has been configured with a DHCP Server and a DNS Server, you may use the Device System Name. Since all IAPs ship with the same default Device System Name, it is recommended that you install and configure the IAPs one at a time. Figure 13. MEA Device Administration Connection A Log On window for the Configuration Utility will be displayed in the browser, as shown in Figure 14. Before the Configuration Utility is displayed, the user must complete the simple logon procedure before proceeding. When the Log On is complete, the Configuration Utility will be displayed.

Setup and Deployment 27 Section 5 - Site Selection/Deployment Guidelines General Site Selection Guidelines The IAP location(s) should be selected first since they have the additional requirement of routing information back to the MiSC. This may be done via an Ethernet cable if the IAP and MiSC are located within 100 meters (the max length permitted for standard Ethernet) of each other. If the distance is greater than 100 meters, a mechanism for extending the Ethernet connection will be required, e.g., using fiber or T1. (MeshNetworks recommends T1 backhaul equipment from Net-to-Net Technologies.) Once the IAPs have been placed, then the location of the WRs can be determined. Optimally, the devices should be distributed such that a SD has no more than 3 hops to an IAP. AC power must be available for both IAPs and WRs. Lastly, any local building/structure codes must be adhered to, as well as proper permits for placing devices on structures that are not owned by the Network Operator (e.g., light poles). MeshNetworks has developed the “Location Analyzer” tool to assist in the placement of infrastructure. This tool runs on a Windows 2000 SD. The tool collects and analyzes data, ultimately resulting in a deployment quality indication. Refer to the Location Analyzer documentation for information on configuring and using this tool. Antenna Guidelines The location of fixed infrastructure antennas must address proper antenna orientation, selection of elevation pattern for the specific locale, the avoidance of pattern distortion, and the impact of obscuration and non-line-of-sight paths. Polarization - Most of the antennas used in deployment will be vertically polarized. To maximize line-of-sight signal reception, both the transmitting and receiving antennas should be vertically oriented to avoid signal loss due to polarization mismatch. This applies to mobile and stationary antennas. For example, placing a magnetically mounted vehicle antenna on a curved portion of the vehicle roof so that its axis is not vertical risks a measure of signal loss at range, dependent upon the specific elevation pattern details, as discussed above. Local obstructions - Antennas should be mounted either above or below the plane of obstructions as shown in Figure 28. Figure 28. Antenna Mounting Low gain “rubber duck” antennas that are mounted directly to Mesh transceivers are designed ObstructionAntennaAntennaObstruction
MeshNetworks 28 for transmitting and receiving vertically polarized radiation. Hence, care must be taken to insure close-to-vertical orientation of these antennas to avoid substantial signal loss due to polarization mismatch. Additionally, attenuation sustained by use of these antennas inside vehicles can be as high as 10 dB. Typically, losses are in the 4 to 7 dB range if the antenna is above the “metal can” of the vehicle so that radiation and reception occur at window level. Lab Checkout Prior to deploying any equipment in the field, it is recommended to test the equipment in a lab environment to ensure the equipment is functioning. Step 1 - Verify MiSC Set up the MiSC as discussed in the MiSC Assembly section. Attach a Windows computer to the SMC switch. Verify that the following can be pinged: edge router, core router, MeshManager. Refer to the Default Addresses and Logins section for the addresses. Step 2 – Verify IAPs. Using an Ethernet cable, attach the IAPs, one at a time, to the SMC switch. Using either the MAC or ETH address on the IAP box for reference, use MeshManager to verify that the IAP can be reached, and that it is obtaining an address from the DHCP server. Next, start an SD in infrastructure mode, and ensure that it also receives an IP address from the DHCP server. This verifies that both the SBC and the transceiver in the IAP are functioning. Step 3 – Verify WRs Connect an IAP as described in Step 2. Power up the WRs one at a time. Using the MAC address on the WR box for reference, verify that the MeshManager console can reach each WR, and that an appropriate IP address is displayed. Step 4 – Verify PCMCIA cards Connect an IAP as described in Step 2, Load a host computer with the WMC6300 drivers as described in section ??. Insert a WMC6300 card into the host device. Start MeshTray. Verify that the status tab displays a valid IP address. Eject the WMC6300 card utilizing the “Unplug or Eject Hardware” icon. Insert another WMC6300 card and repeat the MeshTray test. General Deployment Guidelines It is recommended that field deployment follow the same steps as described in General Site Selection Guidelines The IAP location(s) should be selected first since they have the additional requirement of routing information back to the MiSC. This may be done via an Ethernet cable if the IAP and MiSC are located within 100 meters (the max length permitted for standard Ethernet) of each other.

IAPs should be deployed first and verified as functional. Next the WRs should be deployed in a “near to far” pattern; in other words, WRs that are 1 hop from an IAP should be deployed first, followed by WRs that are 2 hops from an IAP, etc. This allows the functionality of each WR to be determined at the time of installation, thus eliminating any extra truck rolls to trouble-shoot a WR.
