operator to deploy a wireless network, eXS ZONE, without laying any data cables. The eXS NODE is designed to:
1. Mesh with other NODEs using the IEEE 802.11a radio 2. Service clients over the Ethernet port and the wireless access port
(IEEE 802.11g radio) 3. The traffic is routed to the eXS NODE that is connected to the backhaul, otherwise known as the gateway. The NODE is a layer-3 router that can be configured as a Repeater or as a Gateway. In the Repeater configuration the DHCP server internal to the NODE will service BOTH the LAN port and the wireless 802.11g access. The NODE supports the installation of client devices like a SIP phones over the LAN interface. The Gateway mode will configure the LAN interface to act as a WAN port to enable the unit to interface to the existing campus/corporate LAN or to the available backhaul. The port in this configuration can be configured to act as a DHCP CLIENT or with STATIC IP information. The setup of the 802.11b/g access is performed through the setup tab while the mesh network configuration is done through the Advanced tab. It is important to remember to configure the mesh network after configuring the access. Notation: Prompts and dialog scripts are shown in normal type. Technician typed inputs and names of tabs are shown in italics. This manual follows industry practice of referring to this professional person as the User. In this manual User does not mean the consumer, network subscriber or end user. Professional installation: This system must be professionally configured, installed and maintained. The person configuring the NODEs must be knowledgeable in the radio and safety regulations for the country and location where this system will be installed, and is responsible for making the installation comply with those safety and radio regulations. The NODE can be used with ANY brand and type of power over Ethernet
(PoE) that is an approved power source for the installation location. The professional planning the installation shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the radio and safety requirements for that location are met. In the USA, the PoE and antenna have to be the units tested for Certification, which are on the eXS Price List. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 4 Web Configuration Manager Application The eXS 5001 Wireless NODE is configured using a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape, from any wired or wireless station on the local area network. Using the https protocol, enter https://<single_board_computer_IP_address> as the location. The default address is: https://192.168.100.1 At which point you will be see the security alert below Figure 1 Click the Yes button to access the NODE. You will be prompted then to type your username and password. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 5 Figure 2 The defaults are:
Username: admin Password: admin When you enter the password, asterisks are displayed When you have been authenticated to access the web configuration manager application, the Top page is displayed as shown in Figure 3. Warning: there are web sites on the Internet that contain factory passwords for thousands of products. Be sure to set a unique Username and Password for each major network. It is good practice to change these whenever there is a change in personnel. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 6 Figure 3 Top The Top page is the first page displayed by the web configuration manager application as shown in above. The web configuration application's main menu is a collection of tabs in the upper left side of the page. The Top page displays the values of various pieces of information in the center of the page, such as the host name and the current mode of operation. Additionally, the Top page provides a way to change the admin user password. The values displayed on the Top page are from the NODE configuration data stored the last time the configuration was saved. When the NODE is first booted, the data on the Top page reflects the values of the configuration data under which the unit is currently operating. For example, in the previous figure showing a sample Top page, the current mode of operation is a Gateway. Status The Status main menu item displays a brief overview of the overall system as shown in the Figure 4. The values displayed on the Status page are from the saved configuration data. When the single board computer is first booted, the data on the Status page reflects the values of the configuration data under eXS 5001A Tech Manual 7 which the NODE is currently operating. Figure 4 Log The Log main menu item displays the System Log file. You can click on the System Details button which results in displaying the output of various system commands to provide a more detailed summary of the overall system. The Current System Time in the NODE will reset itself at every power up cycle to 1 January 2000 at 00:00:00 hours. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 8 Figure 5 Setup The Setup main menu item is for setting the mode of operation for the NODE. Two operating modes are available through the pull down menu gateway and Repeater as shown in the following figure. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 9 Figure 6 As mentioned before, the majority of NODEs are configured as Repeaters. Web Configuration Manager Setup Feature To select a mode of operation, open the pull-down menu and choose a mode by highlighting the mode and clicking on it. The mode you selected will be displayed in the field. The NODE Identifier should be a unique number on the mesh network to help identify the unit. The NODE is shipped configured as a Repeater. This configuration is the most common for a mesh NODE. The following subsections will show what web pages are displayed to configure the NODE for a repeater mode of operation. IP Addresses and General Network Setup In the repeater mode the wireless Access and the LAN port are serviced by a DHCP server. The next few screens cover the configuration of the network parameters for these two interfaces. As shown in the figure below, the first screen is to configure the IP address and netmask of the NODE, that is the address used to access the NODE when connect through the Wireless Access port or the wired LAN Access port. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 10 Figure 7 The following screen, will ask you to enter the DNS server IP addresses. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 11 Figure 8 Once those parameters are configured the next screen allows the user to configure the DHCP server details such as the IP range and lease time duration. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 12 Figure 9 Wireless Access The following steps would be to configure the wireless access features on the NODE the available options would be to configure the ESSID and the wireless security. Enter the desired SSID. The SSID is case sensitive. The SSID on the Access side is visible to client software that scans for available wireless networks, unless that broadcast ID feature is disabled (see below). eXS 5001A Tech Manual 13 Figure 10 The first security feature is choosing an encryption type. The NODE supports the security defined by the IEEE 802.11 standards for use between clients and an Access Point. If you want to enable WEP, select one of the WEP buttons which indicate the size of the WEP key, such as WEP128 for 128_bit WEP keys. If you do not want to enable WEP, select the None button. The next security feature is whether you want to hide the SSID in beacon frames. If this feature is enabled, the SSID field of beacon frames will be empty. This feature helps to prevent associations from stations that do not know the NODEs Access SSID, default (EXS_AP_DEFAULT). We recommend hiding the SSID beacon. The last security feature is whether you want to discard broadcast SSID probe requests. If this feature is enabled, the NODE will not send responses to "broadcast SSID" probe request frames. This feature also helps to prevent associations from stations that do not know the AP's SSID. We recommend discarding probe requests. When you have selected which wireless security features you want to enable/disable, click the Next button to proceed to the next setup page. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 14 Figure 11 Wi_Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK) If you chose to enable Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) instead of WEP, a setup page for entering the WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK) is displayed as shown in the following example. Enter the WPA Pre-Shared Key. It should be at least 20 characters long. When you have entered the key, click the Next button to continue. MAC Address Authentication This part of the setup is for MAC address authentication. You can further restrict which stations are allowed to join the wireless LAN via MAC address authentication. When an access point receives an authentication request, it will check its Access Control List (ACL) for the client MAC address. Depending on the authentication mode, the client request will be accepted or denied. The following figure is the page for configuring the MAC address authentication. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 15 Figure 12 To configure MAC address authentication, select from one of the following MAC address authentication modes:
allow all _ authentication requests are accepted by any MAC address. The access control list is ignored. allow only those MACs in the access list _ by choosing this mode, the access point will process authentication requests from only those MAC addresses in the access control list. Authentication requests from any MAC address not in the access control list are ignored. deny only those MACs in the access list _ by choosing this mode, the access point will deny authentication requests from MAC addresses in the access control list. Authentication requests from any MAC address NOT in the access control list are processed. deny all _ all authentication requests are denied. The access control list is ignored. Next, build an access control if you selected a mode other than allow all or deny all. To build the access control list, enter a MAC address in the MAC address field and click on the Add MAC to Access Control List button (refer to the previous figure). eXS 5001A Tech Manual 16 The format of the MAC address is a six hexadecimal byte address separated by colons (e.g. 01:02:03:04:05:06). Continue doing this for each MAC address you wish to add to the access control list. When you have finished with MAC address authentication, click the Next button to continue with the setup Channel Setup Following the setup for Repeater capability is the channel setup. The following figure shows the setup page for selecting the channel in which the wireless LAN device should operate. The channel selection is a drop down menu, and only one channel may be selected as shown in the next figure. Click the Next button to proceed to the next setup page. In many countries the preferred channels are 1, 6 & 11. So many consumer devices come from the factory with channel 6 as the default that it is better to use channels 1 and 11 where possible. Figure 13 eXS 5001A Tech Manual 17 Committing Your Changes After the setup is completed, the page to permanently commit your changes is displayed as shown below. To permanently commit your changes, click the Commit Changes button. A reboot will occur so the NODE will boot and initialize using your new values. You will need to wait a minute or so until after the NODE has completely rebooted. Once the reboot sequence has completed, you may access the web configuration again by clicking the Go to Top button as shown in the next figure. Figure 14 Advanced The Advanced main menu item provides access to all of the NODE configuration variables. This tab does not contain the configuration wizard of the setup tab, so changes to one field will not result in auto-configuration of the others, i.e. when changing the mode of operation from Repeater to eXS 5001A Tech Manual 18 Gateway, the LAN port will not be configured automatically for you. Understanding such relationships is necessary when using the Advanced features in order for the NODE to function properly the next time it's rebooted. Figure 15 Wireless Setting for the Access Point In this tab the user can configure the Access Point features in the NODE. The Wireless Access (SSID, rates); Radio specifications (channel assignment, power levels) and wireless security (WEP 64&128 & WPA-PSK, Broadcast ESSID and MAC address authentication) are set. Wireless Setting for the Mesh Network In this tab the user can configure the Mesh Network features in the NODE. The Mesh (SSID, rates); Radio specifications (channel assignment, power levels) and wireless security (WEP 64&128 & WPA-PSK, Broadcast ESSID and MAC address authentication) are set. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 19 Figure 16 Network Settings for the NODE In this tab the user can configure the DNS & DHCP parameters for the NODE. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 20 Figure 17 Network Settings for the Ethernet port When the NODE is acting as a gateway, the user will need to configure the Ethernet/LAN port to act as a WAN interface and communicate correctly with the distribution system. This tab allows the user to configure the port to act as a DHCP in case there is a DHCP server on the LAN or to be configured with a Static IP address. NOTE: in the repeater mode the Ethernet port will act as a DHCP server and assign IP addresses to clients. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 21 Figure 18 eXS 5001A Tech Manual 22 Figure 19 WDS If the user would like to specify a link manually, you could go under WDS configuration and manually configure the link, that value will be retained in the configuration, while the automatically generated links will refreshed and updated according to the mesh status. To configure a WDS (Wireless Distribution System) link enter the MAC address of the 802.11a radio on the remote NODE in the Link field NOTE: for a WDS link to be active, the configuration must be done on the NODEs on each end of the link and the wireless mesh settings on each NODE must be configured with the same security configuration. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 23 Figure 20 Traffic control:
The NODE support the ability to specify the average and maximum throughput a user can enjoy on the wired AND wireless access interfaces in the repeater mode and the settings will only affect the wireless interface in the Gateway mode. The mesh will not be affected by the traffic control setting. If VoIP is going to be implemented on the mesh it is not recommended to specify anything less than 90 kbps for the traffic control. There are 3 levels of service possible: Gold, Silver and Bronze. Each level average rate and maximum burst rate are settable. It is not advisable to set the Average rate below 64 kbps. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 24 Figure 21 Backup The Backup main menu item provides any easy way to retrieve the last committed configuration settings from the single NODE, namely the config file. This file is saved as a Linux tar formatted file, and you can save this file on your local PC in the same manner as you save files from other URL's using your web browser. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 25 Figure 22 Restore The Restore main menu item provides a way for you to restore the set of configuration variables on the NODE. There are three sources from which you can restore the variables, namely from the factory default settings, from the last committed changes or from a file. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 26 Figure 23 Factory Defaults _ Restores the NODE configuration data variables to the factory default settings. These are the settings in the NODE when it's shipped. Last Committed Changes _ Restores the NODE configuration data variables to the last committed settings. File _ Restores the NODE configuration data variables from a file that was previously saved using the Backup feature of the web configuration manager application. Select an option by clicking the appropriate button. The following subsections walk you through the Restore procedure of each. Restoring from Factory Defaults After you click the Factory Defaults button, the factory defaults settings are written to the temporary configuration data file and you are prompted to commit the changes. To make the factory defaults permanent, click the Commit button. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 27 After you commit your changes, you are prompted to reboot the single board computer so the changes you made take effect. Restoring from Last Committed Changes After you click the Last Committed Changes button, the saved configuration file is activated a "commit" is not necessary. Restoring from a Local File After you click the File button, the following web page is displayed prompting you to choose the method for the NODE to use to retrieve the configuration data file. The file should be a backup file of the configuration data saved using the Backup feature. You can upload the file via your web browser on our local PC or you can download the file via the http or ftp protocol. Figure 24 1.

The above numbers are for reference only eXS 5001A Tech Manual 42 Appendix: User Information After an installation, the network customer should be given written instructions appropriate to the country. The instructions in this Section are appropriate for the USA. Professional Installation This device must be professionally installed & maintained. The end user cannot change frequency, transmitter power or any other RF parameters of this device. Operation This device complies with Part 15, Class B (residential and business) of the FCC Rules and Regulations (CFR47). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. CAUTION: changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance and installation could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. The transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any antenna, amplifier or transmitter except those used by the professional installer. Interference This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving radio or TV antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 43 Connect the equipment into an outlet on an AC circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Radiation Exposure This equipment complies with FCC safe radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20cm (8 inches) between the radiator (the antenna) and your body. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 44 Appendix: FCC Rules The following is a brief summary of the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations, which is under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in the USA. These are Rules that are most useful in planning a US installation. A current copy of the FCC Rules is available at:
http://ftp.fcc.gov/oet/info/rules/
Part 15.203: Antenna Requirement The installer shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the limits in Part 15 are not exceeded. The eXS Price List includes the antennas and the PoE power adapter that were used in the FCC testing and certification. The FCC Rules require that ONLY these units be installed, unless the antenna is of a lesser gain but same type as the approved antenna. Part 15.407: Technical Requirements (UNII) 5.15-5.25 GHz, maximum power to antenna connector is 50 mW (17 dBm). 5.15-5.25GHz is restricted to INDOOR operation. 5.25-5.35GHz, max power to antenna is 250 mW (24 dBm). If directional antenna is greater than 6 dBi, maximum power shall be decreased by 1 dB for every dB the antenna exceeds 6 dBi. 5.725-5.825GHz, max power to antenna is 1 Watt (30 dBm). If the directional antenna exceeds 6 dBi, the maximum power shall be reduced by 1 dB for each dB the antenna exceeds 6 dBi. However, fixed point-to-point devices may employ antennas with directional gain up to 23 dBi without any corresponding reduction. Point-to-point excludes point-to-multipoint and omni-directional systems, or equivalent. On February 18, 2005, the FCC postponed the Transmit Power Control
(TPC) and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements. If there are no further postponements, they will require that after January 20, 2007, devices cannot be imported or marketed that do not meet TPC and DFS. [Subpart 15.37(L)]. TPC and DFS requirements ONLY apply to devices operating 5.25-
5.35GHz. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 45 Furthermore, Transmit Power Control (TPC) is NOT required for systems radiating less than 500 mW (27 dBm) E.I.R.P. in the 5.25-
5.35GHz band (which is generally true for the eXS 5001A). Part 15.407: RF Transmission Auto-control This device is in compliance with FCC 15.407(c). It automatically discontinues transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure. Data transmission is always initiated by software. The data is either subscriber data or small amounts of network control and signaling information. The data passes down to the Media Access Control logical layer to the RF transmitter. The RF transmitter is ON only when passing these data packets out to the antenna. The transmission turns OFF at the end of each individual packet. If there is an operational failure, no data packets are transmitted. eXS 5001A Tech Manual 46 Appendix: Malaysian Rules The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) Guidelines for WLAN devices are:
Frequency Band 2.400 2.500 GHz 5.250 - 5.350 GHz 5.725 5.875 GHz EIRP
