In indoor installations (e.g. warehouses etc.) direction can be freely selected if integrated antenna is not used. Antenna mast installation The following figures present installation in antenna mast pipe;

antenna pipe diameters 4560mm (approx. 1 3/42 1/3 inches). 45-60 mm 13 mm RN-TLT-1 Aligning the antenna Installation technician must mechanically align the antennas for the best possible coverage. Power divider You may connect two sector antennas to one radio by using a power divider. For the best possible operation, the antennas using the same radio should point directly opposite directions from each other. Also the length of the cables between the antennas and the power divider should be the same to ensure even signal strength to both cells. The power divider reduces the output signal level by 3 dBm. The following figures present the installation of the power divider. Copyright Radionet, 2005. All rights reserved. 8 / 48 Radionet RN-900FCC/IC User Guide Grounding Grounding bolt with hex nut is located on the backside of the base station. Unit must always be grounded to the building ground using 16 mm2 (#6 AWG) grounding cable. 8 mm Power cabling using PSU-3 power supply The PSU-3 power supply unit can feed one RN-900FCC base station product. The power supply is an external unit designed for operation in outdoor environment. The supply voltage of the power supply is 24 VDC. The power supply unit provides RS-485 connector for remote management of the base station unit. RS-485 pins must be wired from the base station unit to power supply if RS-485 remote management is needed. Wiring can be done by 4-wire power cable. RS-485 is a data communications interface standard approved by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) for multipoint communications with serial devices. It is ideal for industrial applications due to its noise immunity. The transmitted data is represented by voltage differences between the two wires of the power cable. RS-485 requires specific serial port hardware that supports RS-485 voltages and conventions. Detailed cabling instructions are in Appendix 1. Power cabling using PSU-2 power supply

(accessory) The PSU-2 power supply is an external unit designed for operation in outdoor environment. The PSU-2 power supply unit can feed up to two Radionet RN-900FCC products. The supply voltage of power supply is 12 VDC. The power supply unit has an inbuilt sealed lead-

acid rechargeable battery to ensure at least few minutes of operation when the main supply voltage is lost. This battery back-

up time depends on the condition of the battery. It is recommended to replace the battery from time to time, e.g. once a year. This Copyright Radionet, 2005. All rights reserved. 9 / 48 Radionet RN-900FCC/IC User Guide replacement time depends on ambient temperature of the power supply unit. Ethernet cabling The maximum length of Ethernet cabling without repeaters or amplifiers is 100 meters (330 feet). Ethernet cabling must fulfill CAT5 category FTP outdoor cable specifications. Detailed cabling instructions can be found in Appendix 1. Protective connector cover If the Ethernet connectors are not used you must cover the connectors by a protective cover. Radionet RN-900FCC is shipped with protective covers on both Ethernet connectors by default. Applying coax seal tape When using the unit with external antennas, you must weather seal the N connectors using seal tape. N connectors that are not properly sealed permit moisture to enter the connection, which leads to performance degradation or coverage problems. Copyright Radionet, 2005.

Set the Operating Frequency Use the Frequency combo box to select an operating frequency for the link connection (Master mode only) or the client access. The operating frequency is expressed in MHz. Copyright Radionet, 2005. All rights reserved. 21 / 48 Radionet RN-900FCC/IC User Guide Set transmit power Do not exceed the maximum EIRP power (EIRP = tx power - cable loss + antenna gain), which is limited by the local radio authority. When using external antennas, the cable loss should also be taken in account. Use the Radio tx power combo box to select your desired power level and click the OK button. Set the RTS threshold This value determines the maximum packet size allowed before the RTS/CTS handshaking protocol takes effect. To avoid packet loss when multiple slaves are sending packets to a master, the RTS/CTS protocol will be activated whenever a packet exceeds the specified threshold. A threshold value of 1 implies automatic RTS/CTS. Values in the range {1-2346} are supported. To change the RTS threshold, enter the new value in the RTS threshold text box and click the OK button. Set the Fragmentation threshold In a noisy radio environment, packet fragmentation is used to split large frames to smaller frames to minimize the decrease in network capacity. If the size of a frame exceeds the fragmentation threshold, the frame will be fragmented into small frames. Values in the range {256-2346} are supported. To change the Fragmentation threshold, enter the new value in the Fragmentation threshold text box and click the OK button. Suppress/Enable SSID broadcast This pair of radio buttons indicates whether the SSID is broadcast over the wireless network. Disabling SSID broadcast can increase wireless network security. Click the appropriate radio button to Enable or Disable SSID broadcast and click the OK button.

All rights reserved. 26 / 48 Radionet RN-900FCC/IC User Guide Services DHCP server DHCP server is a system to dynamically allocate IP addresses to a client network. To set up network services, begin by clicking on the SERVICES link in the configuration menu. Figure 17: The Services menu Configuring the DHCP server You may access the DCHP configuration page through the SERVICES> DHCP menu link. The DHCP server enables the Radionet RN-900FCC to dynamically assign IP addresses to clients on the local network. The DHCP configuration page is divided into three sections, General DHCP Server Settings, Client pool and Client network settings. Each section is described below. To activate the DHCP server, complete the configuration fields with values appropriate to your network. Figure 18: Configuring the DHCP server General DHCP Server Settings The general settings determine whether or not the DHCP server is active, over which network interface it operates, and lease times for IP addresses. Status Select the Enabled radio button to make the DHCP server active. Clicking the Disabled button tells the Radionet RN-

900FCC not to activate the DHCP server. Copyright Radionet, 2005. All rights reserved. 27 / 48 Radionet RN-900FCC/IC User Guide Interface This setting determines which interface of the Radionet RN-

900FCC will act as a DHCP server interface. Choose bridge, ethernet1, ethernet2, radio1 or radio2 from the options using the combo box. Default lease time Enter the default lease time here, in seconds. This value will be used if the client does not request a specific lease time. Client IP pool The client pool refers to the range of available IP addresses that will be served by the DHCP server of the Radionet RN-900FCC. Specify the address range by providing the lowest and highest IP addresses that will be served. First IP address Enter the lowest IP address that will be served to clients. Last IP address Enter the highest IP address that will be served to clients. Client network settings In addition to a dynamically assigned IP address, the DHCP server will provide the following network information to clients. Enter the appropriate values for your network. Netmask The subnet mask that will be passed to the clients. Default Gateway Address The IP address of the clients' default gateway. Domain Name Server (DNS) The IP address of the clients' DNS server. Secondary Domain Name Server (DNS) The IP address of the clients' secondary DNS server. Domain The domain name that will be served to hosts. Remember to click the OK button to apply all changed DHCP settings. To permanently record the DHCP configuration, click on the Commit Settings button. Copyright Radionet, 2005. All rights reserved. 28 / 48 Radionet RN-900FCC/IC User Guide DHCP Relay On this page you may enable or disable DHCP relaying. If you choose to enable the DHCP Relay, you must select the interfaces for client distribution and the DHCP Server from the corresponding combo boxes. DHCP requests received from the client distribution interface are forwarded to the DHCP server. Also enter the IP address of the DHCP Server in the Server IP Address field. If there is a network controller (NC), which also acts as a DHCP server and MageIP is in use, you should enter the IP of your NC in this field. MageIP MageIP is the mobility management protocol present in Radionet base stations used in conjunction with a Radionet Network Controller. In the MageIP menu, under services, you may configure the MageIP service enabled or disabled. Figure 19: The DHCP Relay page Figure 20: The MageIP page To enable MageIP, the client distribution interface must be set. Choose the correct interface from the Interface combo box. The client interface is the interface end-users are going to be connected Copyright Radionet, 2005. All rights reserved. 29 / 48 Radionet RN-900FCC/IC User Guide to; typically there should be no reason not to leave it to the default setting of bridge. Additionally you need to fill in the Server IP Address and Server Password fields. Since the MageIP server resides in a network controller unit, you should configure the IP address of the network controller as the Server IP address. Server password is the password defined in the Network Controller HTTP management menu for this base station. To use MageIP, you also need to enable DHCP Relay and use the network controller as DHCP server. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol designed for centralized management of network devices. Radionet RN-900FCC supports the reading of networking-related values (bytes sent/received for example) with SNMP. Currently the Radionet RN-900FCC supports MIB-II, a known SNMP definition for general network devices. Figure 21: The SNMP page To configure SNMP, you need to enable it first by selecting the Enabled option after Status, and then enter the community name in the Community field. Community is the term used in SNMP for the authentication of a network management software, very much like a password. It is important to select a good community name since malicious users can exploit some of the information available with SNMP; it allows to gather quite a lot of information about the network in a very easy manner. Copyright Radionet, 2005. All rights reserved. 30 / 48 Radionet RN-900FCC/IC User Guide Remote Syslog Remote syslog sends system messages to remote system over UDP. This allows logs to be gathered from multiple devices. Some network management systems utilize syslog in addition to SNMP to monitor state of the network and the devices. To use remote syslog, set the status to enabled state and enter the IP address of the host, which collects the logs as destination. Also it is possible to set the destination port number. Usually the syslog servers run on default UDP port 514. Figure 22: The Remote syslog page Copyright Radionet, 2005. All rights reserved. 31 / 48 Radionet RN-900FCC/IC User Guide Utilities During configuration of your wireless network, you may wish to test the status and connectivity of nodes. The configuration system of the Radionet RN-900FCC comes with a set of useful features; ability to view the current state of the units ARP Table and Ping &

Traceroute testing tools. To access these features, click on the UTILITIES link in the configuration menu. Figure 23: The Utilities menu ARP table A table of the most recent IP-to-physical address bindings. Viewing the ARP table The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table lists the most recently acquired associations between MAC (physical-layer) addresses and IP addresses on the network. Click on the link UTILITIES>Arp Table to view the most recent ARP table. Figure 24: The ARP table Locally connected hosts are displayed as rows in the table. The table's columns provide information about each host:

Address The IP address of a host. HWtype A label signifying the type of a physical connection of a host. All nodes connected to the Radionet RN-900FCC will display ether, indicating an Ethernet connection. This is true even in case of wireless connections, as the wireless interfaces transmit Ethernet frames. Copyright Radionet, 2005. All rights reserved. 32 / 48 Radionet RN-900FCC/IC User Guide HWaddress Hardware address. The Ethernet or WLAN MAC address of a host. Flags The symbols listed in the Flag column indicate how the address has been obtained. The symbol C indicates complete entries in the ARP cache. Mask The subnet mask of the host. As the ARP table only retains local addresses, this column should remain empty for all entries. Iface The name of the interface of the Radionet RN-900FCC through which the host was found. Ping & Traceroute Figure 25: Ping&Traceroute Ping The ping utility sends five ICMP request packets and waits for a reply. The response shows the time it takes (round trip time, rtt) to reply for each packet (time in milliseconds). The statistics summarize received reply packets (received and packet loss). Last line shows minimum, average and maximum round trip times. Also the maximum deviation from average is shown, though the five packets used here are not sufficient for rtt statistics. Firewalls may block ping packets. Copyright Radionet, 2005. All rights reserved. 33 / 48 Radionet RN-900FCC/IC User Guide Traceroute Traceroute maps a route to a given host. The host and intermediate routers send ICMP replies to requests sent by the base station. It should be used primarily for manual fault isolation. Traceroute helps to detect faulty routing or the location where packets are lost (after the last router that responds). Each result line represents intermediate or target host and contains:

Index (starting from 1) IP address Round trip time for each of three test packets. Replaced with an asterix if a packet is lost. Some routers may not send reply packets or they may be blocked by a firewall. Arping Arping is similar to ping, but uses ARP protocol instead of ICMP. ARP is not routed, so arping works only to locally connected hosts. Some hosts that do not answer to ping because of firewall settings answer to arping. The utility sends five request packets and reports a round trip time for each response. Copyright Radionet, 2005.
