![Setup and Deployment Guide 1 Overview 1.1 Product Kit Overview The Product Kit allows a network operator to deploy a wireless, multi-hopping ad hoc network. The product kit supports up to 25 Subscriber Devices, allows mobility between IAPs, and provides enhanced system management capabilities. It is recommended that the Network Operator receive setup and deployment training at MeshNetworks’ facility prior to deploying the network. MeshNetworks may provide the Network Operator, as an option, assistance with site surveys and deployment. 1.2 Document Overview This document describes how to setup, configure, and deploy a kit. The MWR6300 (Wireless Router) and IAP6300 (Intelligent Access Point) require “professional installation” to ensure the installation is performed in accordance with FCC licensing regulations. The components of a system are provided with a preinstalled “standard configuration” provided by MeshNetworks. The configuration items described in this document allow the system to be customized with site-specific information. The document presents information on the current components. As the components evolve, the document will be updated. 1.3 Acronyms HAS Hardware Authentication Server IAP Intelligent Access Point Mesh Enabled Architecture MiSC Mobile Internet Switching Controller SD Subscriber Device (a host device with a WMC6300 installed and operational) WMC Wireless Modem Card WR Wireless Router 1.4 Related Documentation WMC6300 Wireless Router User’s Guide MeshView User’s Guide MeshManager User’s Guide Location Analyzer User’s Guide 1](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/IAPWR63000902.users-manual/User-Guide-282191-Page-6.png)
![Setup and Deployment Guide 1.5 Overview of the System 1.5.1 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 conform 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 2](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/IAPWR63000902.users-manual/User-Guide-282191-Page-7.png)
![Setup and Deployment Guide 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. 1.5.1.1 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, handheld computer, PDA, or entertainment device. 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. And 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. 1.5.1.2 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. 3](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/IAPWR63000902.users-manual/User-Guide-282191-Page-8.png)
![Setup and Deployment Guide 1.5.1.3 Intelligent Ac icess Po nts (IAPs) The Intelligent Access Point (IAP) is a low-cost shoebox-sized 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 of data capacity 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. The location of an IAP is non-critical due to the self-forming, self-balancing nature of MeshNetworks’ technology. 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. 1.5.1.4 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 1.6 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 4](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/IAPWR63000902.users-manual/User-Guide-282191-Page-9.png)
![Setup and Deployment Guide 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.

![Setup and Deployment Guide 3 Intelligent Access Point (IAP) The IAP is an infrastructure device that is positioned at a fixed location such as a building rooftop. The IAP6300 requires “professional installation” to ensure the installation is performed in accordance with FCC licensing regulations. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent structures with a separation distance of at least 2 meters from 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 for satisfying RF exposure compliance. The principle function of the IAP is to provide access for Subscriber Devices in the coverage area of the IAP 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 transceivers within Wireless Routers and Subscriber Devices. All IAPs have mounting points for an optional mounting bracket. For a deployment, a permanent AC power source for each IAP must be provided. 3.1 Equipment The following list defines the standard hardware components for the IAP: • IAP Box with N-type Male Antenna Connector • A/C Power Cable with standard 3 prong plug • 7.5 dBi Antenna with N-type Female Antenna Connector The Network Operator must supply the following: • Mounting Location • A/C Power Source • Ethernet connection between the IAP and the MiSC Optional Equipment • Mounting Bracket • Pelco AB-3009-96 for attaching to poles up to 4” in diameter • Pelco AB-3010 for poles greater than 4” in diameter • Universal Mounting Bracket • Net-to-net boxes for T1 deployment • Power Cords terminating in PE cell connector • Serial Cable with DB9 Male Connectors (for PC to IAP transceiver debug) 8](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/IAPWR63000902.users-manual/User-Guide-282191-Page-13.png)

Next, test access to the Internet using a web browser. If this fails troubleshoot and retry. Obtain the VPN peer address and the appropriate pre-shared key for the VPN. 5.4.3 CoreRTR Configuration The CoreRTR must have on-site configuration performed to allow remote management of the wireless devices. During this exercise, the wireless subnet address of each of the wireless devices is mapped to a server subnet address. The wireless address is of the form 10.0.x.y. The value of “x” is obtained from the ID number found on the WMC, IAP or WR. The value of “y” is either 1 or 2; 1 indicates the host device and 2 indicates the transceiver. Note that a SD and IAP have both a host device and an transceiver, however a WR has a transceiver but not a host device. The server subnet address is of the form 172.a.b.c. The value of ‘a’ is supplied by MeshNetworks as part of the VPN setup. The default value is 31. The value of ‘b’ is the same as the ‘x’ in the wireless address. Likewise, the value of ‘c’ is the same as the ‘y’ in the wireless address. For example, if there is an IAP with an id number of 69, the wireless subnet addresses for it will be 10.0.69.1 and 10.0.69.2. MeshNetworks supplies the second value in the server subnet access; this example will use the value of 22. The server subnet address corresponding to the wireless subnet address will be 172.22.69.1 and 172.22.69.2, respectively. The table below shows the address mapping which must be done for each IAP, WR and SD. A generic “xx” is used in the server subnet address since it is a site-dependent value. Telnet to the CoreRTR from a computer connected to the server subnet. Use the address 172.xx.0.2 to connect to the CoreRTR. Update the NAT information using the commands below: CoreRTR> CoreRTR>enable Password:<password> CoreRTR#configure terminal 18](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/IAPWR63000902.users-manual/User-Guide-282191-Page-23.png)

![Setup and Deployment Guide Appendix A Site Selection/Deployment Guidelines General Guidelines A.1 A.2 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 Win2000 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 transmit and receive antenna 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 9. obstructionantennaantennaobstruction Figure 9. Antenna Mounting 22](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/IAPWR63000902.users-manual/User-Guide-282191-Page-27.png)
![Setup and Deployment Guide Low gain “rubber duck” antennas that are mounted directly to Mesh transceivers are designed 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. 23](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/IAPWR63000902.users-manual/User-Guide-282191-Page-28.png)
![Setup and Deployment Guide Appendix B Notes DNS Server B.1 The Wireless Modem Card returns a fixed IP address (192.168.50.20) to the SD host for the DNS server. If there is no DNS server in the wired network at this address, the SD host will be unable to resolve web URLs such as www.meshnetworks.com. To resolve this, the SD host must be manually configured with a DNS server IP address. Instructions to setup a Windows 2000 Host: a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l. B.2 Start/Settings/Network and Dial-up Connections/Local Area Connection (choose the Local Area Connection Corresponding to the Wireless Modem Card) Click on the “Properties” button. Highlight “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” in the Components window. Click on the “Properties” button. Click on the “Advanced” button. Click on the “DNS” tab Click on the DNS “Add” button. Enter the “DNS Server IP Address” provided by the local network administrator and then click the “Add” button. Click the “OK” button to close the Advanced TCP/IP Settings windows. Click the “OK” button to close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties windows. Click the “OK” button to close the Local Area Connection Properties windows. Click the “Close” button to close the Local Area Connection Status window. This configuration should remain in the Windows 2000 host. Tera Term Pro Tera Term Pro is a free-ware software emulation program that has more capabilities than HyperTerminal (which is provided with the standard Windows suite of applications). It is recommended that Tera Term be obtained so that in the event that MeshNetworks needs to assist the Network Operator with advanced debugging, there is a common utility in place. 24](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/IAPWR63000902.users-manual/User-Guide-282191-Page-29.png)
