It allows digital video transmission over license-free and licensed bands. It delivers high-quality MPEG-4-based video at 30 frames per second in NTSC (25 in PAL). This wireless system is built on open standards to provide long-term investment protection. Note: The S1100 devices require professional installation. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 1 1: Overview About the S1100 Each S1100 system consists of a video transmitter (-T) and a video receiver (-R) device. Unless otherwise specified, the word S1100 refers to any of these devices. Each device is configured to operate, right out of the box, with the most popular camera data port configuration (4800 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). The S1100 covers the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands in North America and Europe. It also covers the 4.9 GHz public safety band in North America. You can buy 12V DC and 24V AC devices. A device pair does not need to have the same input voltage. Security Every S1100 device comes with the SDCF (SmartSight Distributed Coordinated Function) security feature. This proprietary MAC (Media Access Control) protocol uses AES encryption with key rotation over the wireless link to secure the audio and video communication between the devices. Video The S1100-R device has one video output. The S1100-T has one video input with two encoders; by default, only one encoder is available. The video frame rate of the edge device can be:

The front panel integrates one bicolor visual indicator that illustrates the operational state of the device. Antenna port Integrated antenna Status indicator Status Auxiliary connector (alarm, audio) Main connector (video, power, serial port) 4 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions System and RF Planning For best operation, you must carefully plan the setup and location of your radio systems and antennas. Planning is especially required if you want to install many systems in the same area, in order to prevent radio interference between the colocated devices. In all cases, follow the recognized RF installation practices. One radio system is a receiver and a transmitter using the same wireless passkey. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 5 2: System and RF Planning Frequency Bands and Channels The S1100 supports communications in the following frequency bands, in North America and Europe:

2.4 GHz OFDM, also known as 802.11g

4.9 GHz OFDM, a public safety band available in North America only

5 GHz OFDM, also known as 802.11a 2.4 GHz Band The 2.4 GHz band provides 11 channels in North America and 13 in Europe. In these two regions, only channels 1, 6, and 11 are independent (that is, non-overlapping). All these channels are for indoor or outdoor use. The center frequencies of the channels are:

Channel 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Frequency (GHz) 2.412 2.417 2.422 2.427 2.432 2.437 2.442 Channel 8 9 10 11 12 13 Frequency (GHz) 2.447 2.452 2.457 2.462 2.467 (Europe only) 2.472 (Europe only) 4.9 GHz Band The 4.9 GHz band is a licensed band for entities providing public safety services focused on the protection of life, health, or property in North America. This band provides license holders with an interference-free, secure channel for robust and secure broadband technologies, including wireless video surveillance systems. For more detailed information concerning the regulations governing licensing and use of frequencies in the 4.9 GHz band, see Subpart Y of the FCC document, Memorandum Opinion and Order and Third Report and Order at:

http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-03-99A1.pdf The 4.9 GHz band has a width of 50 MHz (4940 to 4990 MHz). Since the standard channel width is 20 MHz, only two independent channels can co-exist in the band. However, the S1100 supports channel fragmentation, allowing narrower channels of 5 MHz and 10 MHz. You can have up to four independent channels with a 10 MHz width, and up to 10 with a 5 MHz width. All these channels are for indoor or outdoor use. For more information about channel fragmentation, see page 45. 6 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100 User Guide The available channels are:

Channel 3 6 7 7 8 9 10 11 11 12 13 16 Frequency (GHz) 4.9425 4.9475 4.9525 4.950 4.9575 4.9625 4.9675 4.9725 4.970 4.9775 4.9825 4.9875 Channel width 5 MHz 5 MHz 5 MHz or 10 MHz 20 MHz 5 MHz 5 MHz or 10 MHz 5 MHz 5 MHz or 10 MHz 20 MHz 5 MHz 5 MHz or 10 MHz 5 MHz 5 GHz Band In the 5 GHz band, the number of available channels and sub-bands vary depending on the country of operation. Most European countries adhere to the DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) and TPC

(Transmit Power Control) regulations established by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI); these regulations apply to the 5 GHz frequency band only. To know which bands are available in your country of operation and whether your country adheres to DFS and TPC, refer to the Wireless Frequency Plan document located on the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions extranet (Technical Support, then Downloads, then Utilities and Tools). In North America, five channels are available in the 5 GHz band, all independent and for indoor or outdoor use. The center frequencies of these channels are:

Channel 149 153 157 161 165 Frequency (GHz) 5.745 5.765 5.785 5.805 5.825 In Europe, the 11 independent channels, for indoor or outdoor use, are:

Channel 100 104 108 112 116 120 Frequency (GHz) 5.50 5.52 5.54 5.56 5.58 5.60 Channel 124 128 132 136 140 Frequency (GHz) 5.62 5.64 5.66 5.68 5.70 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 7 2: System and RF Planning Wireless Cells A wireless network is designed such that information can travel back and forth between two points without the need for wires. Wireless devices are grouped into wireless cells. The devices in a cell communicate together on the same frequency channel and share the same wireless passkey. The S1100 automatically adjusts the transmission speed with the current RF conditions. You can use the S1100 devices in two types of applications:

Point-to-point system, which requires a single wireless cell:

-T

-R Client Master The S1100 receiver is the SDCF master, and the transmitter is the client.

Point-to-point repeater, which is the combination of two wireless cells:

Transmitters Repeater Receivers When planning your wireless systems, you have to take into account the firmware versions of the involved devices:

The two S1100 devices making up a pair must have the same firmware version.

In a point-to-point repeater, it is recommended that the S1100 devices have the same firmware versions as their associated S3100 master. In a point-to-point repeater, you update the firmware the following way:

1. Update the firmware of all S1100 pairs, starting with the remote device. 2. Change the IP address of the computer running SConfigurator (refer to the Nextiva S3100 Series User Guide). 3. Update the firmware of the two S3100 devices. 8 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100 User Guide TPC If the country of operation of the S1100 device requires conformity to the TPC (Transmit Power Control) regulations, the transmission power of its radio is automatically reduced by 3 dB before leaving the Verint factory. However, in case of a weak wireless link (that is, a link with an RF margin of less than 15 dB), you have the opportunity to use the maximum transmission power (see page 36). DFS To follow the DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) regulations specified by ETSI for the selected country, it is the master device that performs the tasks relative to frequency channel selection and radar detection. In other words, you cannot choose the frequency channel on which the edge device will run. The automatic selection of the frequency channel limits the number and the configuration of the wireless cells. Furthermore, when colocating many cells, all masters must see each other. Note: DFS is required only in the 5 GHz band. You should start the master first, then power the client when the other device is in normal operation. A master device in DFS mode goes through the following sequence when booting up:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Unit initialization (3 seconds) Starting order delay (0-15 minutes) Frequency scan (10-20 seconds) Radar detection (60 seconds) Radar detected?

yes no Normal operation Radar detected?

yes no 1. The device goes through the standard startup procedure. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 9 2: System and RF Planning 2. The starting order delay ensures that colocated masters will not select a frequency channel at the same time, therefore minimizing the possibility that they choose the same one. For more information about the starting order, see page 36. 3. The device scans the available frequencies (based on the selected country) and automatically selects a channel. In the selection process, channels already used by colocated masters will be discarded at first. 4. The device listens for 60 seconds on the selected channel to detect possible radar interference. 5. If a radar is detected on the channel, the device returns to the scan process. Otherwise, it continues its bootup procedure. 6. The device runs normally. 7. If a radar is detected, the device immediately goes back to the scan process to select another channel. The boot sequence of client (transmitter) devices is:

1 2 3 Unit initialization (3 seconds) Roaming (2-25 seconds) Normal operation 1. The device goes through the standard startup procedure. 2. The device roams through the channels in the available frequency bands to locate its master. 3. When the master is located, the client device runs normally on the selected frequency channel. Colocated Systems When installing colocated systems, you have to carefully plan the position of the devices in order to prevent radio interference. You can operate many wireless cells in the same location, provided you follow guidelines relative to frequency band and channel, distance, wireless passkey, and location. Regarding frequency channel, you cannot manually select one in the 5.405.725 GHz band in Europe; for the detailed procedure, see page 13. The wireless passkeys of colocated cells must be different from one another, regardless of their frequency channels. 10 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100 User Guide Distance Limitations The distance limitations between devices are:

The minimum distance between two devices is 3 feet (1 meter), regardless of the band or channel used.

To avoid material damages, you must never power any two devices while their antennas are facing one another with a distance of less than 10 feet (3 meters).

If using adjacent channels, see page 67 for the recommendations on the minimum distances to respect.

To reduce radio interference possibilities between two adjacent frequency channels, ensure that the maximum margin between the emission of the two wireless cells is 25 dB; for more information, see Appendix F on page 67. 2.4 GHz Band In the 2.4 GHz band in North America and Europe, you can use the three independent channels (1, 6, and 11) to colocate wireless cells. Up to Three Point-to-Point Systems As long as you follow the recognized RF installation practices, you can colocate three S1100 point-to-point systems without special consideration for antenna placement and type. You simply have to:

1. Assign a unique wireless passkey to each system. 2. Assign channel 1 to one system, channel 6 to the second system, and channel 11 to the last system. For example:

Device S1100-T 1 S1100-R 1 S1100-T 2 S1100-R 2 S1100-T 3 S1100-R 3 Channel Wireless passkey 1dfi340mndpha23v 1 1 1dfi340mndpha23v pvaeodmq820pasqs 6 pvaeodmq820pasqs 6 moxsa41o0s3n7azx 11 11 moxsa41o0s3n7azx Up to Six Point-to-Point Systems (< 180 Coverage) You can install up to six S1100 receivers on the same side of a building or on the same mast, with their antennas pointing within the same direction (within a 180 angle of each other). You have to:

1. Assign a unique wireless passkey for each system. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 11 2: System and RF Planning 2. Assign the same channel to two adjacent pairs of devices. Assign the channels in the following order: 1, 11, 6. For example:

Device S1100-T 1 S1100-R 1 S1100-T 2 S1100-R 2 S1100-T 3 S1100-R 3 S1100-T 4 S1100-R 4 S1100-T 5 S1100-R 5 S1100-T 6 S1100-R 6 Channel Wireless passkey 1570fullummtlh2k 1 1 1570fullummtlh2k 270citehullj8y2h 1 270citehullj8y2h 1 yyyypu76leplep11 11 11 yyyypu76leplep11 jyjyjypkpkpkbxbx 11 jyjyjypkpkpkbxbx 11 zxcvbnmlkjhgfdsa 6 6 zxcvbnmlkjhgfdsa qwertyuioplkjhgf 6 6 qwertyuioplkjhgf 3. Set the RF bit rate of each system sharing a channel to a high enough value to accommodate the cumulative video throughput configured in both systems. This higher value is required because the systems sharing the same channel will also share the available radio channel bandwidth. 4. Install the individual receivers that share a channel as close as possible to each other;

do the same for the two corresponding transmitters. All devices sharing a channel must have a clear RF line of sight to each other (that is, no hidden node); they must also hear each other. For instance, transmitter 1 must be able to hear both receivers and transmitter 2. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 1 1 2 11 11 6 6 3 4 5 6 12 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100 User Guide If the distance between the transmitters sharing a channel is greater than 300 feet

(91.5 meters), call the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Support group for help. 4.9 GHz Band in North America Depending on the channel width (20, 10, or 5 MHz), you can colocate 2, 4, or 10 point-to-point systems respectively. As long as you follow the recognized RF installation practices, you can install these systems in colocation mode, on the same pole or on different sides of a building, without sharing channels. For the available channels in each of the three scenarios, see page 7. You need to:

1. Ensure that there is a 25 dB separation between two adjacent frequency channels. For more information, see page 67. 2. Assign a unique wireless passkey to each system. 3. Assign an available channel to each required system. 5 GHz Band in North America All channels in the 5 GHz band are independent. Up to Five Point-to-Point Systems As long as you follow the recognized RF installation practices, you can install up to five S1100 point-to-point systems in colocation mode, on the same pole or on different sides of a building, without sharing channels. You need to:

1. Assign a unique wireless passkey to each system. 2. Assign an available channel to each required system. Up to 10 Point-to-Point Systems (< 180 Coverage) You can install up to 10 S1100 receivers on the same side of a building or on the same mast. To do so, the receivers must be pointing within the same direction (within 180 direction of each other). For the installation steps, adapt the procedure described on page 11, Up to Six Point-to-Point Systems (< 180 Coverage), with the 5 GHz band data. 5 GHz Band in Europe The maximum number of colocated cells corresponds to the number of channels in the available frequency bands that can be used outdoors. For instance, in most countries of Western Europe, you can have up to 11 colocated cells in the 5.405.725 GHz band. However, because the master devices must see each other in a DFS context, the variety of supported setups is limited. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 13 2: System and RF Planning In this context, you can easily install up to five cells. By respecting the following steps, you can assume that the cells will not share the same frequency channel, making the complete bandwidth available for each one. You have to:

1. Assign a different wireless passkey to each cell. 2. Ensure that all S1100 masters see one another. For the procedure, see Appendix E on page 63. 3. Position the devices so that there is at least 3 feet (1 meter) between each antenna. 4. In each master device, set a different starting order: 1 for the first device, 2 for the device next to it, 3 for the third one, and so on. Installing more than five cells in the 5.405.725 GHz band requires the use of adjacent channels. This situation demands greater distances between the antennas to reduce potential radio interference. Therefore, you should contact the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions project engineering group for assistance. Supported Setups The following colocated systems are supported in the 5.405.725 GHz band:

You have to install the devices in such a way that there is a clear RF line of sight between the two antennas. Location Evaluation The path between the two antennas must be free of obstacles that could disturb propagation. For very short link distancesless than 500 feet (152 meters)you may be able to establish a working link despite partial path obstruction. However, radio waves will be in part absorbed and in part diffracted by the obstacles, therefore affecting link reliability. Because the reliability of such an installation is highly unpredictable, Verint does not recommend it. A path free of any obstacle is called an RF line-of-sight path. To establish an RF line-of-sight path, you must take into account the beam width of the radio signal transmitted between the two antennas. This beam width is an elliptical area immediately surrounding the visual line of sight. It varies in thickness depending on the length of the line of sight; the longer the length, the thicker the beam width becomes. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 15 2: System and RF Planning The region outlined by the signal beam width is known as the first Fresnel zone. The Fresnel zone is always thicker at the mid-point between the two antennas. Therefore what appears to be a perfect line-of-sight path between the base and a remote station may not be adequate for a radio signal; this is the difference between visual and RF line of sight. Visual line of sight First Fresnel zone (F1) In practice, it has been determined that a radio path can be considered an RF line-of-sight path if it has a clear opening through 60% of the first Fresnel zone (or 0.6 F1). Here are values for 0.6 F1 for various signal path distances and frequency bands:

Distance

(mi./km) 1 / 1.6 4 / 6.5 7 / 11.3 15 / 24 2.45 GHz

(feet/m) 14 / 4.2 27 / 8.4 37 / 11 53 / 16 4.9 GHz

(feet/m) 9.8 / 3.0 19.5 / 5.9 25.8 / 7.9 37.8 / 11.5 5.3 GHz

(feet/m) 9.5 / 2.9 18.7 / 5.7 25 / 7.6 36.4 / 11.1 5.8 GHz

(feet/m) 8.9 / 2.7 18 / 5.5 23.6 / 7.2 35 / 10.6 Earth curvature effect

(feet/m) 0 2 / 0.6 6 / 1.8 29 / 8.8 For distances under seven miles, the earth curvature effect is negligible. However, for greater distances, you need to consider it in your calculations; for instance, for a 15-mile link in the 2.4 GHz band, the two antennas must be located 82 feet higher than the highest obstacle in the RF line of sight between them (that is, 53 feet for the Fresnel zone plus 29 feet for the earth curvature effect). For help, consult the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Support group. A common problem encountered in the field and related to the 0.6 F1 clearance rule is building obstruction. The proposed visual path may just barely clear a building but the RF line of sight will not. In such a case, the signal will be partially absorbed and diffracted. Increasing the height of the two antennas or the gain of the antennas are the only alternatives to improve the link quality. Note: At 2.4, 4.9, and 5 GHz, radio waves are highly attenuated by dense foliage. A link established in the fall or winter season may be adversely affected in the spring and summertime, if it is established below tree level. 16 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100 User Guide Antenna Requirements Verint offers many antennas to meet various distance requirements. You need to consider many factors when choosing an antenna, including the distance to cover, the RF bit rate, the radiated power (EIRP), and the frequency band. For systems located in North America on the 5 GHz band, you can use the Wireless System Margin Calculator located on the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions extranet (Technical Support, then Downloads, then Utilities and Tools). The combined transmission power of the device and antenna must not exceed the maximum value established by your countrys regulations. To ensure that this maximum is not exceeded, enter the gain of the chosen antenna in the Configuration Assistant (Wireless section). The device will automatically take it into account and adjust its own transmission power accordingly at startup. Note: Connecting an antenna with a gain higher than the calculated value contravenes your countrys regulations. It is your responsibility to ensure that you respect the regulations in place. You can only use antennas certified by Verint. The maximum antenna gain supported to meet local regulations are:

For instance, if a link with an RF line of sight is subject to excessive video delay and very low frame rate

(or possibly breakdown of video images), it could be due to interference. Fortunately, you have ways of adapting your setup to avoid interference:

RF channel selectionThe S1100 has 11 or 13 channels to choose from. In case of interference, it is recommended to change channel until you find a clean one.

Antenna selectionReplacement of the integrated antenna by a higher gain one can significantly lower the interference from other radio systems. Replace the antenna if switching channels does not correct the problem or if all channels must be used to colocate several systems. There should not be any interference in the 4.9 GHz band, since it is a licensed band with limited usage to public safety. The 5 GHz band is less cluttered than the 2.4 GHz band, resulting in less potential interference from other wireless systems. RF Exposure Considerations In order to comply with the RF exposure requirements of CFR 47 part 15 in North America, the devices must be installed in such a way as to allow a minimum separation distance of 12 inches (30 cm) between antennas and persons nearby. 18 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Configuring and Installing the Device The steps required to prepare your S1100 device for operation are:

Basic configuration

Physical installation in its final location

Alarm and audio configuration, if required Two types of applications are covered:

Point-to-point system between a transmitter and a receiver

Point-to-point repeater, with the S3100-RP devices Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 19 3: Configuring and Installing the Device Cable for Power, Video, and Serial Data The supplied CAB9P cable assembly is used for video, power, and serial port connection. Mating connector DB-9 connector Terminal block Power wires BNC video connector For the detailed pinout, see page 54. Serial Port The S1100 integrates one multipurpose serial port. This port is used for system configuration and data communication: pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ), access control, or other. By default, the port automatically detects if it is connected to an RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial device. The CAB9P cable is supplied with a female DB-9 plug enabling RS-232 connections. However, most PTZ cameras, keyboards, and similar devices use RS-422/485 connections. Therefore, you will have to adapt the CAB9P cable for its different uses:

During the configuration process of the S1100, you need to access a computer, so the DB-9 connector is required for RS-232 communication.

Later, when installing the device in its final location, you will likely want to connect it to RS-422/485 equipment, therefore requiring changes on the cable. You should keep the DB-9 connector on the cable for later use. Warning: At any time there must be only one serial device connected to the S1100 device. For instance, when configuring the device, you must unplug any RS-422/485 device. Power Use the red and black wire pair of the CAB9P cable to connect the S1100 device to an external power supply. 20 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100 User Guide To power an S1100 device:

1. In 12V DC, the red wire is for input and the black wire is for power ground. a. Twist together the black power wire of the cable and the wire with the dashed white lines of the supplied power supply. b. Twist together the red power wire of the cable and the other power supply wire. 2. In 24V AC, both wires are used for power. Connect the two power wires of the cable to the screws labelled 1 and 3 on the power supply; it does not matter which wire goes on which screw. Computer Requirements The minimum hardware and software requirements for the host computer needed to configure the edge device are:

An Ethernet network card

A serial port (not through a USB converter)

Administrator rights on the computer

Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher

Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or higher, or Windows XP Service Pack 2 Configuring a Point-to-Point System To configure a point-to-point system, you connect one device (typically the receiver) to a computer then specify a series of parameters that apply to both devices. Then you check if RF communication works properly between the two devices. To configure a device pair:

1. In a lab, unpack the receiver and the transmitter and set them on a table. Warning: To avoid material damages, you must never power any two devices while their antennas are facing one another with a distance of less than 10 feet

(3 meters). 2. Unpack the two cable assemblies (CAB9P) and connect each one to the main connector of a device. 3. On the receiver, connect the DB-9 plug at the other end of the CAB9P cable to a COM port on your computer. 4. Power the receiver using the red and black wires of its CAB9P cable. For a description of the boot sequence in a DFS context, see page 9. 5. When the boot sequence of the receiver is completed, power the transmitter using the red and black wires of its cable. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 21 3: Configuring and Installing the Device 6. Using the Configuration Assistant tool, perform a basic setup on the pair of devices (see page 33).

Ensure that the repeater mode is disabled.

Enter the wireless passkey of the devices. 7. Connect the external antennas, monitor, and camera to the devices; ensure that RF and video communication works properly in your wireless system. The initial configuration is now complete for the two devices. You can now install them in their final location (see page 23). Configuring a Point-to-Point Repeater A point-to-point repeater is used as a range extender for wireless links, when you need a device to retransmit the signals coming from one or many S1100 transmitters to their corresponding receivers. The S3100-RP repeater is made up of two S3100 devices. Transmitters Repeater Receivers To configure a point-to-point repeater:

1. Configure the S1100 pair:

Warning: You must complete the configuration of the S1100 devices before powering up an S3100 device. a. In a lab, unpack the receiver and the transmitter and set them on a table. Warning: To avoid material damages, you must never power any two devices while their antennas are facing one another with a distance of less than 10 feet

(3 meters). b. Unpack the two cable assemblies (CAB9P) and connect each one to the main connector of a device. c. On the receiver, connect the DB-9 plug at the other end of the CAB9P cable to a COM port on your computer. d. Power the receiver using the red and black wires of its CAB9P cable. For a description of the boot sequence in a DFS context, see page 9. e. When the boot sequence of the receiver is completed, power the transmitter using the red and black wires of its cable. 22 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions f. Using the Configuration Assistant tool, perform a basic setup on the pair of devices

(see page 33). Nextiva S1100 User Guide

Enable the repeater mode. Enter a different wireless passkey for each device.

As soon as these settings are saved, the devices are not communicating anymore, since they have different wireless passkeys. The RF and video communication will be re-established after the repeater is fully configured. 2. Configure the two S3100 devices making up the repeater. For the procedure, refer to the Nextiva S3100-RP Installation Guide. You can now install the devices in their final location. Installing the Equipment After configuring successfully your S1100 devices, you are ready to install them in their final location. The installation procedure can include the setup of external antennas. To optimize your system radio performance, carefully review the site planning information presented in Chapter 2 on page 5. Installing the S1100 Devices The installation procedure is the same for all devices, regardless of their usage (with or without a repeater). Warning: When installing colocated wireless systems, you have to take into account the distance limitations listed on page 11. Warning: Always mount the device with the mating connectors pointing downwards. Otherwise moisture may penetrate the device; the associated repair costs would not be covered by the warranty. To install an S1100 device:

1. To install a device on a light pole or mast, use the pole mount brackets and stainless steel clamps provided with your shipment. For wall mounting, use the side brackets already installed on the device. 2. If you are installing the S1100 equipment in a lightning prone environment or in a site where large AC mains power fluctuations are a common occurrence, add additional external surge protection to all vulnerable connections. In such environments, vulnerable connections are those that run for a long distance between the S1100 device and the connected equipment. For more information, see the Surge Protection appendix on page 61. 3. If the S1100 equipment will be directly exposed to the sun in an environment likely to reach 122F (50C), install a sun shield. A derate of 13F (7C) is required to protect the equipment. 4. If required, install an external antenna on the device (see page 27). Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 23 3: Configuring and Installing the Device 5. Apply the supplied silicone grease on the mating connector of the CAB9P cable and on the main connector of the device. For the detailed procedure, refer to the leaflet shipped with the cable. Warning: Failure to apply the grease will void the warranty. 6. Connect the CAB9P cable to the S1100. To properly install the cable connector on the device, you have to turn until you feel a positive click. 7. Plug the BNC video connector of the CAB9P cable on the target device (camera or monitor). 8. 9. If required, perform the serial connection to the target device (see page 24). If you are using a junction box (JBOX code), route all wires to it first; then route the wires from the box to the target device. 10. Carefully align the antenna of each S1100 device with that of its corresponding device

(S1100 or S3100) so that they have a clear RF line of sight. 11. Power up the device. Here is a pole mount installation of an S1100 device with a PTZ camera:

Performing the RS-422/485 Serial Connection The Nextiva edge devices support only the RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 asynchronous protocols. For any other protocol, you may need a converter. Warning: At any time there must be only one serial peripheral connected to the edge device. For instance, when configuring the device through a COM port of the computer, you must unplug any RS-422/485 peripheral. 24 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions RS-422/485 You use the CAB9P cable to properly connect the device to an RS-422 or RS-485 peripheral. Here is the wiring scheme for the four-wire RS-422 or RS-485 protocol:

26 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100 User Guide Adding an Antenna If you bought a high gain antenna, install it after the device is in place. The antennas provided by Verint are designed to be mounted on a mast or pole of 23 inch (57.5 cm) diameter. To install an external antenna:

Warning: Even if you are using an external antenna, do not remove the integrated one;

otherwise the warranty becomes void. 1. Install the antenna above the S1100 device. If you bought your antenna from Verint, use the supplied pole mount bracket. 2. Screw the SMA connector of the antenna cable to the S1100 antenna port and tighten it with a 0.25 inch (0.6 cm) wrench. Warning: Do not over-tighten to avoid damaging the connector. The recommended torque is 8 lb-in. (100 N-cm). You could use a calibrated SMA torque wrench

(for instance, from the Pasternack company, available at www.pasternack.com). 3. Apply two or three layers of electrical tape around all RF connections. The antenna cable and connectors are weather-tight; however, vibration caused by the wind will over time loosen the connectors and reduce the efficiency of the gaskets. The electrical tape will prevent this situation. 4. Carefully align the antenna with that of the other device so that both have a clear RF line of sight. Configuring the I/Os To program alarms or use the audio features of the device, you need the CAB8P cable assembly. For detailed pinout information, see page 55. The S1100 supports two inputs and one output. Each signal has a dedicated purpose:

Input 1Either a transparent alarm link with the output relay (default) or PTL

(push-to-listen) audio transmission mode. To switch between the two, see page 37.

Input 2Push-to-talk (PTT) audio transmission mode.

OutputRelay for the input 1 signal in alarm mode. You cannot program audio control and alarms at the same time, since input 1 is used in both contexts. Audio The S1100 device supports two audio modes: full duplex and half-duplex bidirectional audio

(that is, PTT/PTL). In full duplex, audio is played continuously; the I/Os are available for alarms. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 27 3: Configuring and Installing the Device The PTT/PTL transmission mode uses the I/O pins; therefore, you cannot program alarms and PTT/PTL at the same time. PTT/PTL requires a specific hardware configuration:

To activate the audio reception circuit (for PTL) on receiver devices, you have to short the alarm input 1 dry contact and the alarm ground signal. You cannot activate PTL on transmitters. Remember to change the input 1 setting for audio use in the Configuration Assistant (see page 37).

To activate the audio transmission channel (for PTT), you must trigger an activation switch (for example, a button) that is based on the shorting of the alarm input 2 and alarm ground signals. If both the transmitters and receivers PTT switches are activated at the same time, the receiver will have precedence: Audio will be transferred from the receiver to the transmitter. If the receivers PTL and PTT functions are activated at the same time, PTT will be activated and PTL will be ignored. Here is a typical PTT/PTL application:

Repeater ModeIf you set the mode to Enabled, you will need to use the SConfigurator tool, instead of the Configuration Assistant, to subsequently change any wireless parameter; otherwise, the repeater will not work properly. For more information, page 40.

Pair NumberYou need to assign a unique pair number to the devices being configured when more than one pair are used with the same S3100-RP repeater.

RF BandIf the 4.9 GHz band is selected, the Channel Bandwidth parameter is available. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 35 4: Using the Configuration Assistant

ChannelIf your devices are operating in a DFS environment, you cannot manually select the frequency channel; in this context, the displayed value is Auto. In a non-DFS environment, you can either manually select a channel or choose the automatic channel selection.

Channel BandwidthIn the 4.9 GHz public safety band, you can change the width of the frequency channel, to be able to install more systems in the same area. Possible values are 5 MHz, 10 MHz, and 20 MHz (default). The list of available channels vary depending on the chosen bandwidth.

Bit RateThe Auto value represents the best possible value (with an RF margin of 15 dB) automatically assigned when the connection was established with the other device. It is the default value. Once the device is operating properly, Verint strongly recommends to change the configured bit rate from Auto to the actual bit rate of the connection. This way, the wireless communication will be more stable in the presence of changing atmospheric conditions or other RF interferers. To know the actual bit rate of the connection, look in the Wireless Status window (see page 38). If the quality of the RF link degrades severely, the actual bit rate could be lower that the manually configured one. The available bit rates vary depending on the frequency band:

Band 2.4 GHz 4.9 GHz 5 GHz Channel bandwidth Bit rates (Mbps) N/A 5 MHz 10 MHz 20 MHz N/A 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 1.5, 2.25, 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, and 13.5 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, and 27 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54

Starting OrderAt the beginning of the boot sequence in a DFS context, the receiver device waits a specific number of seconds based on the value of this parameter. This wait period will ensure that no two receivers will start at the same time and select the same frequency channel. The starting order delay is: (order - 1) multiplied by 80 seconds. The default starting order is 1; every colocated system should have a different value for this parameter. This parameter takes effect only when the RF channel is set to Auto.

Antenna GainIf you use an external antenna with your device, it is important to enter its gain in the Configuration Assistant. This way, the device will be able to automatically change its transmission power so that the total power (device and antenna) does not exceed the maximum value established by your countrys regulations.

In the real world, under the right circumstances, these surges can reach sufficiently high levels to damage almost any electronic equipment. Therefore you need to add protection to your devices. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 61 D: Surge Protection The S1100 provides basic surge protection on all electrical lines for both the transmitter and receiver devices. If you are installing the equipment in a lightning prone or heavy lightning environment, or in a site where large AC mains power fluctuations are a common occurrence, Verint strongly recommends that you add additional external surge protection to all vulnerable connections. Vulnerable connections are those that run for a long distance between the S1100 device and the connected equipment. The video camera is usually within a short distance of the S1100 transmitter; the S1100 interface cable can be routed directly into the camera housing. Therefore, the video line

(and the serial port if using a PTZ camera) will seldom need additional protection. The power feed usually runs down the mounting mast or wall for more than 20 feet

(7.6 meters); it is a good candidate for additional protection in a surge prone environment. This protection will benefit both the camera and the device. The monitoring and control station is usually far away from the S1100 receiver. In a surge prone environment, the video output and serial port connections of the device are the most vulnerable to large AC mains variations. Whether you add external protection or not, always ensure that you ground reference the serial port connection of the device by plugging its brown/black wires to the serial port ground of the target equipment in the control room. Failure to do so severely reduces the performance of the internal protection circuits of the device. Excellent international sources for external surge protection equipment and general surge and lightning protection information are:

Polyphaser Corporationwww.polyphaser.com

Citel inc.www.citelprotection.com

Transtectorwww.transtector.com For the curious mind, a surge protector helps to clamp the surge to safe levels and divert its energy to the earthing point, preventing device damage. Experienced installers know that an effective surge protection must be installed with proper earthing and grounding. 62 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions RF Contact between Masters If the country of operation of your devices requires DFS compliance, you must ensure that the master devices (S3100 and S1100-R) in colocated cells see one another in their permanent location. Such a contact means that RF communication can be performed between each pair of masters, therefore preventing them to choose the same frequency channel. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 63 E: RF Contact between Masters Apply the following procedure to ensure that MasterA sees MasterB. You will have to access the command line interface (CLI) of at least one master. For more information about the CLI, refer to Chapter 4 in the Nextiva S3100 Series User Guide or to Chapter 4 in the Nextiva S1100 User Guide. To ensure that two master devices see each other:

1. Take down the device name of MasterB. This name is displayed in the SConfigurator Units tab, in the Unit Information pane of the Configuration Assistant, or in the Advanced > VSIP menu of the CLI. 2. Shut down MasterB, then power it up. 3. Wait until MasterB has selected a frequency channel. To ensure that a channel is selected:

If MasterB is an S3100, go in the Advanced > Communication Status and Statistics >Wireless Status menu of the CLI. Wait until the value of Current SCF Connection Status is Connected to X Clients and Y Slaves.

If MasterB is an S1100, go in the Wireless Status window of the Configuration Assistant. Wait until the connection status is Not Connected or Connected; these statuses occur after Radar Detection.

If you do not have access to the connection status of MasterB, wait for the following time period: (starting order of MasterB - 1) multiplied by 80 seconds. 4. Perform a site survey in MasterA:

a. Open the CLI of the device. a. Go in the Advanced > Communication Status and Statistics > Wireless Status menu. b. Execute the Initiate One-Time Site Survey command. 64 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100 User Guide c. To see the progress of the operation, press Enter every second. The site survey is completed when the value of Current SCF Connection Status returns to Connected to X Clients and Y Slaves, after having gone to Site survey (100% completed). d. Execute the Visualize Last Site Survey Report command. e. Check that the MasterB name is listed as the Unit Name of one of the channels. You may need to scroll up the CLI window to see the beginning of the survey data. For example, in the following site survey, MasterB has a visual connection with the MasterA device. If the MasterB name is not displayed in the site survey, it means that the two masters cannot see each other. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 65 66 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels Wireless interference can occur between wireless cells using adjacent frequency channels

(for example, channels 149 and 153 in the 5 GHz band). Therefore, it is preferable to avoid using adjacent channels. However, if your setup requires you to, you must follow specific guidelines regarding minimum distances between antennas and signal level margin. Note: In the 2.4 GHz band, the adjacent channel term applies only to the three independent channels (1, 6, and 11). Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 67 F: Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels If using adjacent frequency channels in a non-DFS environment, you should respect guidelines relative to the minimum separation between device antennas, to avoid interference. To reduce radio interference possibilities between two adjacent channels, you should ensure that the maximum margin between the emission of the two wireless cells is 25 dB. To meet this objective, perform a site survey and apply minimum distance guidelines. Performing a Site Survey The difference in signal level between two adjacent cells must be less than or equal to 25 dB. If this margin is higher than 25 dB, there will be too much interference in the two adjacent wireless cells. To calculate this margin, you need to perform a site survey; for more information, see page 45. Here is an example of a 25 dB margin between channels 8 and 9 in the 4.9 GHz band:

Interference between the two channels Consider the following setup in the 4.9 GHz band with 5-MHz bandwidth, where Cell B uses channel 6 and you are trying to add Cell A on channel 3 (adjacent to channel 6):

B2 B3 A2 A3 B1 A1 Cell B Cell A To determine if this setup is feasible, you need to conduct a site survey on device A1 (the master device in Cell A), then calculate the margin between the two cells. During the site survey, device A1 will find the other five devices. With the provided signal levels, you need to check if S2 - S1 <= 25 dB, where:

S1 is the lowest signal level in the wireless cell of the device performing the site survey

(A1 in the example).

S2 is the highest signal level in the adjacent cell (Cell B in the example). 68 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100 User Guide To calculate the emission margin between two adjacent wireless cells:

1. Open SConfigurator, then go to the Units tab. 2. Select the master device in the wireless cell you are adding, then click Telnet. 3. From the main menu of the command line interface (CLI), choose Advanced >

Communication Status and Statistics > Wireless Status, then press Enter. 4. For a thorough scan, specify 60 site survey iterations. 5. Start the site survey operation. Note: During the execution, the RF link will be momentarily broken (duration varies depending on the number of iterations). The link is automatically restored when the survey is finished. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 69 F: Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels 6. When the survey is complete, visualize the report. For example:

Devices found on channel 3 Devices found on channel 6 Device name Signal level This report provides the signal levels between device A1 and the other five devices in the network. B2 B3 A2

-75 A3

-60

-75

-45

-70 A1 Cell A B1 Cell B The lowest signal in Cell A is -75 (S1) and the highest signal in Cell B is -45 (S2). The result of S2 - S1 (-45 - -75) is 30. Since the margin is higher than 25 dB, there will be interference issues. 70 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100 User Guide Minimum Distances To respect the 25 dB margin between two adjacent channels, in addition to performing a site survey, you can use guidelines relative to minimum distances between the wireless devices. By respecting them, you can assume that there will not be radio interference between the devices. Three physical setups are covered:

Side by side:

On top:

Back to back:

The minimum separation between devices using adjacent channels is:

Setup Side by side On top Back to back 5 GHz (13-dBi antenna with 40 beam width) 43 feet (13m) 13 feet (4m) 7.8 feet (2.4m) 4.9 GHz (13-dBi antenna with 40 beam width) 36.1 feet (11m) 6.6 feet (2m) 13.1 feet (4m) 2.4 GHz (8.5-dBi antenna with 60 beam width) 55.8 feet (17m) 6.2 feet (1.9m) 15.7 feet (4.8m) If you are using other antennas with narrower beam widths, the distances may be reduced. For assistance, contact the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Support group. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 71 F: Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels The following deployment scenarios respect these limitations:

Using only 5 GHz channels, all on the same side of a building:

5.8 GHz 165 5.3 GHz 56 5.8 GHz 157 5.3 GHz 64 5.8 GHz 149 5.3 GHz 52 5.8 GHz 161 5.3 GHz 60 5.8 GHz 153 3 feet (1m) each 43 feet (13m) Notice that the devices using the adjacent channels 52 and 56 are separated by the prescribed 43 feet (13m). However, you can intersperse other devices in-between, as long as they do not use adjacent channels. This way, you can increase the device density without encountering interference problems.

In the 4.9 GHz band, using only 5 MHz channels, all on the same side of a building:

4.9 GHz 3 4.9 GHz 7 4.9 GHz 9 4.9 GHz 11 4.9 GHz 13 4.9 GHz 6 4.9 GHz 8 4.9 GHz 10 4.9 GHz 12 3 feet (1m) each 36 feet (11m) Notice that the devices using the adjacent channels 7 and 6 are separated by the prescribed 36 feet (11m). However, you can intersperse other devices in-between, as long as they do not use adjacent channels. This way, you can increase the device density without encountering interference problems.

In the 4.9 GHz band, using only 10 MHz channels, all on the same side of a building:

4.9 GHz 7 4.9 GHz 11 4.9 GHz 9 4.9 GHz 13 36 feet (11m) 3 feet (1m) each Since only four channels are available, it is unavoidable that two adjacent channels are positioned next to each other. 72 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions

Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 73 74 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions DFS and False Radar Detection Nextiva wireless devices operating in the European Union must adhere to the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) standard; this standard forces any RF transmitter to change frequency channels if radar activity is detected on the current operating channel. If two colocated wireless cells are communicating on adjacent channels, it is possible that the interference between the two systems causes false radar detections. This side-effect is a well-known industry-wide problem. New features in the wireless devices help minimize the occurrence of false detection events. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 75 G: DFS and False Radar Detection To avoid false radar detection caused by an adjacent channel, the signal level of an potential interfering device on the first adjacent channel must not exceed -50 dB, -36 dB on the second channel, and -32 dB on the third channel; for example, if you use channel 100, 104 is the first adjacent channel, 108 the second channel, and 112 is the third channel. The design of wireless systems in a DFS context becomes difficult because not only can the master devices cause an interference, but the clients and slaves on an adjacent channel can also generate interferences that can cause false radar detection. There should be a reduced number of cells available to limit the amount of possible false radar detections; it is strongly suggested to limit the number of colocated cells to six. The new features that help reduce the possibility of false detection events are:

Half Channel Selection This new parameter of the command line interface (CLI) eliminates the possibility of using adjacent channels. Enable this feature on all masters (S3100, S1100-R) in a new installation to avoid the potential conflict of having two masters on adjacent channels. By default this feature is disabled. If this option is enabled, the channel list becomes:

100(DFS), 108(DFS), 116(DFS), 124(DFS), 132(DFS), 140(DFS), 254(Auto DFS/TPC) The full channel list is:

Slave Radar Detection Management A new CLI parameter allows you to disable radar detection on slave or client devices, therefore reducing the number of nodes that can detect radars. In a typical DFS environment, the slave or client can detect a radar and alert its master to change the frequency channel. This situation can cause a major problem because it increases the number of nodes that can detect radars. The default value is Disabled, meaning that the slave/client does not detect radars; in this case, the slave/client EIRP is reduced from 30 to 23 dBm. In the CLI: Wireless Communication > Advanced Wireless Setup > Enable Radar Detection on Slave

Manual Channel Selection You can now select the initial frequency channel that will be used by the master, with SConfigurator or the CLI. This new feature does not disable radar detection on master devices. This process will still take place and if a radar is detected, the device will go through the regular DFS process (stop transmission on the channel, block this channel for 30 minutes, and select a new channel in the available channel list). 76 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions S1100 Technical Specifications Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 77 H: S1100 Technical Specifications Here are the S1100 technical specifications:

It delivers high-quality MPEG-4-based video at 30 frames per second in NTSC (25 in PAL) over local and wide area networks (LANs and WANs). This wireless edge device is built on open standards to provide long-term investment protection. Combined with a Nextiva S3100 multipurpose outdoor wireless device or a commercial 802.11 access point, the S1100w enables analog CCTV extension over the enterprises network at a cost lower than that of laying new cables. The S1100w also allows the migration of analog CCTV cameras to an IP network. Note: The S1100w edge devices require professional installation. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 1 1: Overview About the S1100w The S1100w devices come as transmitters only. You can buy 12V DC or 24V AC devices. The S1100w covers the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands in North America and Europe. It also covers the 4.9 GHz public safety band in North America. Unless otherwise specified, the word S1100w refers to any of these devices. Each device is configured to operate, right out of the box, with the most popular camera data port configuration (4800 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). Security Every S1100w device comes with the following security features:

SSLEvery edge device is shipped with a unique SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate for securing its IP link. SSL is a commonly used protocol for managing the security of IP message transmission. Therefore, the connections with another device or the SConfigurator tool can be secured. If enabled, the SSL protocol secures the VSIP communication data. It does not apply to audio and video transmission. Once a device is in secure mode, you cannot access it anymore with Telnet and you cannot perform firmware updates through the IP network on it. However, you can configure it with SConfigurator. For more information about this security feature, refer to the SConfigurator User Guide.

SPCF (SmartSight Point Coordination Function)This proprietary MAC (Media Access Control) protocol using AES encryption (with key rotation) over the wireless link to secure communication between the devices and resolve hidden node, quality of service, range, and problems inherent to 802.11 wireless networking products. SPCF secures VSIP communication as well as the audio and video data. Video The S1100w has one video input with two encoders. The video frame rate of the edge device can be:

NTSC1 to 7, 10, 15, or 30 frames per second (fps)

PAL1 to 6, 8, 12, or 25 fps 2 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide The S1100w devices can have the following video resolutions and maximum frame rates (in frames per second), using the NTSC (PAL) format:

Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 5 2: System and RF Planning Frequency Bands and Channels The S1100w supports communications in the following frequency bands, in North America and Europe:

2.4 GHz OFDM, also known as 802.11g

4.9 GHz OFDM, a public safety band available in North America only

5 GHz OFDM, also known as 802.11a 2.4 GHz Band The 2.4 GHz band provides 11 channels in North America and 13 in Europe. In these two regions, only channels 1, 6, and 11 are independent (that is, non-overlapping). All these channels are for indoor or outdoor use. The center frequencies of the channels are:

Channel 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Frequency (GHz) 2.412 2.417 2.422 2.427 2.432 2.437 2.442 Channel 8 9 10 11 12 13 Frequency (GHz) 2.447 2.452 2.457 2.462 2.467 (Europe only) 2.472 (Europe only) 4.9 GHz Band The 4.9 GHz band is a licensed band for entities providing public safety services focused on the protection of life, health, or property in North America. This band provides license holders with an interference-free, secure channel for robust and secure broadband technologies, including wireless video surveillance systems. For more detailed information concerning the regulations governing licensing and use of frequencies in the 4.9 GHz band, see Subpart Y of the FCC document, Memorandum Opinion and Order and Third Report and Order at:

http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-03-99A1.pdf The 4.9 GHz band has a width of 50 MHz (4940 to 4990 MHz). Since the standard channel width is 20 MHz, only two independent channels can co-exist in the band. However, the S1100w supports channel fragmentation, allowing narrower channels of 5 MHz and 10 MHz. You can have up to four independent channels with a 10 MHz width, and up to 10 with a 5 MHz width. All these channels are for indoor or outdoor use. For more information about channel fragmentation, see page 45. 6 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide The available channels are:

Channel 3 6 7 7 8 9 10 11 11 12 13 16 Frequency (GHz) 4.9425 4.9475 4.9525 4.950 4.9575 4.9625 4.9675 4.9725 4.970 4.9775 4.9825 4.9875 Channel width 5 MHz 5 MHz 5 MHz or 10 MHz 20 MHz 5 MHz 5 MHz or 10 MHz 5 MHz 5 MHz or 10 MHz 20 MHz 5 MHz 5 MHz or 10 MHz 5 MHz 5 GHz Band In the 5 GHz band, the number of available channels and sub-bands vary depending on the country of operation. Most European countries adhere to the DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) and TPC

(Transmit Power Control) regulations established by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI); these regulations apply to the 5 GHz frequency band only. To know which bands are available in your country of operation and whether your country adheres to DFS and TPC, refer to the Wireless Frequency Plan document located on the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions extranet (Technical Support, then Downloads, then Utilities and Tools). In North America, five channels are available in the 5 GHz band, all independent and for indoor or outdoor use. The center frequencies of these channels are:

Channel 149 153 157 161 165 Frequency (GHz) 5.745 5.765 5.785 5.805 5.825 In Europe, the 11 independent channels, for indoor or outdoor use, are:

Channel 100 104 108 112 116 120 Frequency (GHz) 5.50 5.52 5.54 5.56 5.58 5.60 Channel 124 128 132 136 140 Frequency (GHz) 5.62 5.64 5.66 5.68 5.70 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 7 2: System and RF Planning Wireless Cells A wireless network is designed such that information can travel back and forth between two points without the need for wires. For the S1100w, this information consists of digitized video, audio, and PTZ data sent to and from the wired network via an outdoor wireless access pointeither the Nextiva S3100 device or a commercial 802.11 access point. A wireless cell consists of a group of wireless devices that communicate together on the same frequency channel and that share the same wireless passkey (described on page 42). For example:

S3100 You can colocate many wireless cells if you respect certain conditions (see page 13). 802.11 Support Starting at firmware version 4.0, you can use the S1100w devices with commercial 802.11-compliant access points. To support this new protocol, the 802.11 MAC (Media Access Control) mode is introduced. This mode is available in all frequency bands (2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz, and 5 GHz). The S1100w in 802.11 mode supports the following security mechanisms:

No securityNot recommended

WEPNot recommended

WPA and WPA2 (also known as 802.11i) in personal mode (PSK)

WPA and WPA2 in Enterprise mode, with an 802.1X authentication server Note: WPA and WPA2 are not available with the proprietary SPCF MAC mode. 8 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide The supported authentication methods for WPA and WPA2 are:

Method PSKPre-Shared Key

(personal) EAP-TLS (Enterprise) EAP-TTLS (Enterprise) PEAP (Enterprise) Authentication means passphrase login/password and certificate login/password and certificate login/password and certificate Remarks Designed for home and small office networks. A passphrase is required to connect to an access point and therefore access the network. Uses mutual authentication. The most secure option available. Creates a secure TLS tunnel. Supports MSCHAPv2 (the Microsoft version of the Challenge Handshake Authentication protocol) to validate logins and passwords. A certificate is required on the server side. Creates a secure TLS tunnel. Supports MSCHAPv2 (the Microsoft version of the Challenge Handshake Authentication protocol) to validate logins and passwords. A certificate is required on the server side. For more information about the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol, refer to RFC 2246 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2246.txt. The supported encryption methods are:

WEP

AES-CCMP

TKIP

Auto-selectThe device automatically chooses the best available encryption scheme. The wireless parameters associated to 802.11 differ from those of the SPCF mode. For more information about these parameters, see page 41 for the command line interface or refer to the SConfigurator User Guide. Be aware of the following limitations in using S1100w devices in a 802.11 environment:

The S1100w will not be able to connect itself to an S3100.

The inherent problems with 802.11 wireless network products, such as the hidden node and quality of service issues, will be present. Furthermore, the ranges of the equipment will be lower than with the SPCF protocol. It is assumed that the network administrators wanting to add S1100w transmitters to their 802.11 wireless network are knowledgeable about this protocol. In the remaining of this user guide, the access point will be a Nextiva S3100 using the SPCF protocol. System Planning When installing many wireless systems in the same area, you have to carefully plan their positions in order to prevent radio interference and select the appropriate antennas. The grouping of devices in each wireless cell is determined by their respective locations with respect to one another and by the available outdoor wireless access points. As a rule of thumb, there should be a clear RF line of sight between each S1100w device and the access point in each cell. However, the S1100w devices can be completely hidden from one another. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 9 2: System and RF Planning Point-to-Multipoint Application A point-to-multipoint application is a wireless cell made up of an S3100 access point (the master) and several S1100w transmitters (the clients). Here is a typical point-to-multipoint system:

S1100w S3100 For example, to associate three S1100w devices to one access point, you need to:

1. Assign the same wireless passkey to the S1100w devices and the S3100 access point. The wireless passkey must be different from that of other colocated cells, if any. 2. In a non-DFS context, assign a frequency channel to the S3100 device. In a DFS context, the master device will automatically select a channel. The associated S1100w devices will automatically use their masters channel. 3. Install the S1100w devices such that each one has a clear RF line of sight with the S3100 access point. For the configuration and installation procedure, see page 23. Compatibility Issues When planning your wireless systems, you have to take into account the firmware versions of the involved devices. It is recommended that the S1100w transmitters have the same firmware versions as their associated master; however, from version 2.60 and up, the devices are fully compatible (for example, an S1100w at version 4.0 with an S3100 at version 3.62). In a wireless cell, the order in which you configure the devices (either the first time or later when they are installed in the field) or update their firmware is critical if you do not want to lose access to them. You should then:

Update the devices starting with the farthest (in terms of number of RF hops) from the computer running the upgrade procedure.

One step at a time, get closer to the computer. 10 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide For example, consider the following setup:

S3100 3 S3100 2 S3100 1 S1100w 1 S1100w 2 You should update the devices in the following order:

1. S1100w 1You then lose contact with S1100w 1. 2. S1100w 2You then lose contact with S1100w 2. 3. S3100 1You can then reach all devices. 4. S3100 2You then lose contact will all devices except master S3100 3. 5. S3100 3You can then reach all devices. For the complete firmware update procedure, refer to the documentation of the Verint software you are using. Video Bit Rate and Data Throughput You can theoretically connect up to 16 S1100w devices to a master access point in a wireless cell. In practice however, video quality, frame rate, and system layout can limit the number of devices that a single master access point can support. Each time multiple client devices are connected to a master S3100, the available bandwidth is divided equally between the connections. For example, three S1100w clients connected to a master on a 6 Mbps link each have 2 Mbps throughput. Video quality and frame rate influence the required data throughput. Therefore, you need to carefully plan the number of cameras that will work on a link. The following figures were measured in typical setup situations. They may vary depending on your configuration. The total data throughput in a unidirectional UDP link setup varies depending on the frequency channel width: 20 MHz in all available bands, or 5 MHz and 10 MHz in the 4.9 GHz frequency band. The throughput for a 20 MHz channel is:

For the bit rate requirements of the edge devices to which the cameras are connected, consult the Bit Rate Settings for Video Servers document located on the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions extranet (Technical Support, then Downloads, then Utilities and Tools). TPC If the country of operation of the S1100w device requires conformity to the TPC (Transmit Power Control) regulations, the transmission power of its radio is automatically reduced by 3 dB before leaving the Verint factory. However, in case of a weak wireless link (that is, a link with an RF margin of less than 15 dB), you have the opportunity to use the maximum transmission power (see page 46). 12 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide DFS To follow the DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) regulations specified by ETSI for the selected country, it is the master S3100 device that performs the tasks relative to frequency channel selection and radar detection. In other words, you cannot choose the frequency channel on which the edge device will run. The automatic selection of the frequency channel limits the number and the configuration of the wireless cells. Furthermore, when colocating many cells, all masters must see each other. Note: DFS is required only in the 5 GHz band. You should start the master first, then power the client when the other device is in normal operation. The boot sequence of client (transmitter) devices is:

1 2 3 Unit initialization (3 seconds) Roaming (2-25 seconds) Normal operation 1. The device goes through the standard startup procedure. 2. The device roams through the channels in the available frequency bands to locate its master. 3. When the master is located, the client device runs normally on the selected frequency channel. Colocated Cells You can operate many wireless cells in the same location, provided you follow guidelines relative to frequency channel, wireless passkey, and distance. Regarding frequency channel, you cannot manually select one in the 5.405.725 GHz band in Europe; for the detailed procedure, see page 16. The wireless passkeys of colocated cells must be different from one another, regardless of their frequency channels. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 13 2: System and RF Planning Distance Limitations The distance limitations between devices are:

The minimum distance between two devices is 3 feet (1 meter), regardless of the band or channel used.

To avoid material damages, you must never power any two devices while their antennas are facing one another with a distance of less than 10 feet (3 meters).

If using adjacent channels, see page 65 for the recommendations on the minimum distances to respect.

To reduce radio interference possibilities between two adjacent frequency channels, ensure that the maximum margin between the emission of the two wireless cells is 25 dB; for more information, see Appendix F on page 65. 4.9 GHz Band in North America Depending on the channel width (20, 10, or 5 MHz), you can colocate 2, 4, or 10 wireless cells respectively. For the available channels in each of the three scenarios, see page 7. The following example presents three wireless cells with 10-MHz channels. To install such a system, you have to:

1. In each cell, assign the same wireless passkey to the S1100w devices and the S3100 access point. The wireless passkey must be different from that of the other cells. 2. Assign a different frequency channel to each S3100 device; the associated S1100w devices will automatically use their masters channel:

In each cell, install the S1100w devices such that each one has a clear RF line of sight with its associated S3100 access point. 14 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions This application can be illustrated this way, where the three cells are in the same location:

Nextiva S1100w User Guide C B A 5 GHz Band in North America and 2.4 GHz In the 2.4 GHz band in North America and Europe, you can use the three independent channels (channels 1, 6, and 11) to colocate wireless cells. In the 5 GHz band, all channels are independent. A typical colocation example is three wireless cells. To install such a system, you have to:

1. In each cell, assign the same wireless passkey to the S1100w devices and the S3100 access point. The wireless passkey must be different from that of the other cells. 2. Assign a different frequency channel to each S3100 device; the associated S1100w devices will automatically use their masters channel. For example, in the 5 GHz band:

In each cell, install the S1100w devices such that each one has a clear RF line of sight with its associated S3100 access point. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 15 2: System and RF Planning This application can be illustrated this way, where the three cells are in the same location:

C B A 5 GHz Band in Europe The maximum number of colocated cells corresponds to the number of channels in the available frequency bands that can be used outdoors. For instance, in most countries of Western Europe, you can have up to 11 colocated cells in the 5.405.725 GHz band. However, because the master devices must see each other in a DFS context, the variety of supported setups is limited. In this context, you can easily install up to five cells. By respecting the following steps, you can assume that the cells will not share the same frequency channel, making the complete bandwidth available for each one. You have to:

1. Assign a different wireless passkey to each cell. 2. Ensure that all masters see one another. For more information, refer to the RF Contact between Masters appendix in the Nextiva S3100 Series User Guide. 3. Position the devices so that there is at least 3 feet (1 meter) between each antenna. 4. In each master device, set a different starting order: 1 for the first device, 2 for the device next to it, 3 for the third one, and so on. Installing more than five cells in the 5.405.725 GHz band requires the use of adjacent channels. This situation demands greater distances between the antennas to reduce potential radio interference. Therefore, you should contact the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions project engineering group for assistance. 16 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide Supported Setups The following colocated systems are supported in the 5.405.725 GHz band:

Two access point applications, in which the transmitters from one system do not see the transmitters from the other cell. Both master devices see each other. S3100 S3100

A point-to-multipoint repeater. Both master devices see each other. Master Slave Video management software S3100 S3100 S3100 Repeater Receivers Unsupported Setup You cannot install the following colocated system in the 5 GHz band in Europe:

Access point applications with hidden masters. In this context, the two S3100 masters do not see each other, while transmitters 2 and 3 do. 2 3 1 4 S3100 S3100 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 17 2: System and RF Planning RF Planning Successful operation of a wireless link depends on proper RF path planning and antenna installation. You have to install the devices in such a way that there is a clear RF line of sight between the two antennas. Location Evaluation The path between the two antennas must be free of obstacles that could disturb propagation. For very short link distancesless than 500 feet (152 meters)you may be able to establish a working link despite partial path obstruction. However, radio waves will be in part absorbed and in part diffracted by the obstacles, therefore affecting link reliability. Because the reliability of such an installation is highly unpredictable, Verint does not recommend it. A path free of any obstacle is called an RF line-of-sight path. To establish an RF line-of-sight path, you must take into account the beam width of the radio signal transmitted between the two antennas. This beam width is an elliptical area immediately surrounding the visual line of sight. It varies in thickness depending on the length of the line of sight; the longer the length, the thicker the beam width becomes. The region outlined by the signal beam width is known as the first Fresnel zone. The Fresnel zone is always thicker at the mid-point between the two antennas. Therefore what appears to be a perfect line-of-sight path between the base and a remote station may not be adequate for a radio signal; this is the difference between visual and RF line of sight. Visual line of sight First Fresnel zone (F1) In practice, it has been determined that a radio path can be considered an RF line-of-sight path if it has a clear opening through 60% of the first Fresnel zone (or 0.6 F1). Here are values for 0.6 F1 for various signal path distances and frequency bands:

Distance

(mi./km) 1 / 1.6 4 / 6.5 7 / 11.3 15 / 24 2.45 GHz

(feet/m) 14 / 4.2 27 / 8.4 37 / 11 53 / 16 4.9 GHz

(feet/m) 9.8 / 3.0 19.5 / 5.9 25.8 / 7.9 37.8 / 11.5 5.3 GHz

(feet/m) 9.5 / 2.9 18.7 / 5.7 25 / 7.6 36.4 / 11.1 5.8 GHz

(feet/m) 8.9 / 2.7 18 / 5.5 23.6 / 7.2 35 / 10.6 Earth curvature effect

(feet/m) 0 2 / 0.6 6 / 1.8 29 / 8.8 For distances under seven miles, the earth curvature effect is negligible. However, for greater distances, you need to consider it in your calculations; for instance, for a 15-mile link in the 2.4 GHz band, the two antennas must be located 82 feet higher than the highest obstacle in the RF line of sight between them (that is, 53 feet for the Fresnel zone plus 29 feet for the earth curvature effect). For help, consult the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Support group. 18 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide A common problem encountered in the field and related to the 0.6 F1 clearance rule is building obstruction. The proposed visual path may just barely clear a building but the RF line of sight will not. In such a case, the signal will be partially absorbed and diffracted. Increasing the height of the two antennas or the gain of the antennas are the only alternatives to improve the link quality. Note: At 2.4, 4.9, and 5 GHz, radio waves are highly attenuated by dense foliage. A link established in the fall or winter season may be adversely affected in the spring and summertime, if it is established below tree level. Antenna Requirements Verint offers many antennas to meet various distance requirements. You need to consider many factors when choosing an antenna, including the distance to cover, the RF bit rate, the radiated power (EIRP), and the frequency band. For systems located in North America on the 5 GHz band, you can use the Wireless System Margin Calculator located on the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions extranet (Technical Support, then Downloads, then Utilities and Tools). The combined transmission power of the device and antenna must not exceed the maximum value established by your countrys regulations. To ensure that this maximum is not exceeded, enter the gain of the chosen antenna in the CLI (Wireless Communication menu) or SConfigurator (Wireless pane). The device will automatically take it into account and adjust its own transmission power accordingly at startup. Note: Connecting an antenna with a gain higher than the calculated value contravenes your countrys regulations. It is your responsibility to ensure that you respect the regulations in place. You can only use antennas certified by Verint. The maximum antenna gain supported to meet local regulations are:

For instance, if a link with an RF line of sight is subject to excessive video delay and very low frame rate

(or possibly breakdown of video images), it could be due to interference. Fortunately, you have ways of adapting your setup to avoid interference:

RF channel selectionThe S1100w has 11 or 13 channels to choose from. In case of interference, it is recommended to change channel until you find a clean one.

Antenna selectionReplacement of the integrated antenna by a higher gain one can significantly lower the interference from other radio systems. Replace the antenna if switching channels does not correct the problem or if all channels must be used to colocate several systems. There should not be any interference in the 4.9 GHz band, since it is a licensed band with limited usage to public safety. The 5 GHz band is less cluttered than the 2.4 GHz band, resulting in less potential interference from other wireless systems. RF Exposure Considerations In order to comply with the RF exposure requirements of CFR 47 part 15 in North America, the devices must be installed in such a way as to allow a minimum separation distance of 12 inches (30 cm) between antennas and persons nearby. 20 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Configuring and Installing the Device The steps required to prepare your S1100w device for operation are:

Basic configuration

Physical installation in its final location

Alarm and audio configuration Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 21 3: Configuring and Installing the Device Cable for Power, Video, and Serial Data The supplied CAB9P cable assembly is used for video, power, and serial port connection. Mating connector DB-9 connector Terminal block Power wires BNC video connector For the detailed pinout, see page 54. Serial Port The S1100w integrates one multipurpose serial port. This port is used for system configuration and data communication: pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ), access control, or other. By default, the port automatically detects if it is connected to an RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial device. The CAB9P cable is supplied with a female DB-9 plug enabling RS-232 connections. However, most PTZ cameras, keyboards, and similar devices use RS-422/485 connections. Therefore, you will have to adapt the CAB9P cable for its different uses:

During the configuration process of the S1100w, you need to access a computer, so the DB-9 connector is required for RS-232 communication.

Later, when installing the device in its final location, you will likely want to connect it to RS-422/485 equipment, therefore requiring changes on the cable. You should keep the DB-9 connector on the cable for later use. Warning: At any time there must be only one serial device connected to the S1100w device. For instance, when configuring the device, you must unplug any RS-422/485 device. Power Use the red and black wire pair of the CAB9P cable to connect the S1100w device to an external power supply. 22 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide To power an S1100w device:

1. In 12V DC, the red wire is for input and the black wire is for power ground. a. Twist together the black power wire of the cable and the wire with the dashed white lines of the supplied power supply. b. Twist together the red power wire of the cable and the other power supply wire. 2. In 24V AC, both wires are used for power. Connect the two power wires of the cable to the screws labelled 1 and 3 on the power supply; it does not matter which wire goes on which screw. Configuring the Wireless System The configuration steps to execute are:

Set a series of parameters

If required, establish a point-to-point connection between the transmitter and a receiver To configure the device, you need the proprietary SConfigurator tool. It is included on the Utilities CD shipped with your device; you can also find its latest version on the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions extranet (Technical Support, then Downloads, then Utilities and Tools). You have to copy its executable file to the hard disk of your computer. Computer Requirements The minimum hardware and software requirements for the host computer needed to configure the edge device are:

An Ethernet network card

A serial port (not through a USB converter)

Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or higher, or Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setting Parameters Before installing a wireless system, you need to set parameters relative to wireless communication, IP networking, and serial port. You also need to establish proper communication with the corresponding S3100 outdoor wireless access point. cThe first step in installing an S1100w device is to change its IP address to ensure compatibility with an existing network. The default IP addresses of all devices are based on the APIPA addressing scheme and will be in the range 169.254.X.Y, where X and Y are relative to the MAC address of the individual device; for more information about APIPA, see page 57. To work properly, devices on the same network must have unique IP addresses. The device will not prevent you from entering a duplicate address. However, its system status LED will turn to flashing red; then the device will use an APIPA address. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 23 3: Configuring and Installing the Device To configure a wireless system:

1. In a lab, unpack the transmitter and the access point and place them on a table. 2. Connect the external antenna on the S3100 and optionally on the S1100w. Warning: To avoid material damages, you must never power any two devices while their antennas are facing one another with a distance of less than 10 feet

(3 meters). 3. Unpack the cable assembly (CAB9P) and plug its mating connector on the main connector of the S1100w transmitter. 4. Connect the DB-9 plug of the cable to a COM port on your computer. 5. Power the device using the red and black wires of the CAB9P cable (see page 22). The status LED turns steady red and then flashes green, indicating normal operation. 6. Configure the S1100w parameters with the command line interface (CLI):

a. Country of operation b. Frequency band c. Passkey d. IP address e. Serial port parameters For the description of the procedure, see Chapter 4 on page 35. 7. Configure the wireless access point for a point-to-multipoint application. For the detailed procedure, refer to the Nextiva S3100 Series User Guide. 8. Using SConfigurator, ensure that the S3100 and the S1100w transmitters communicate well together:

In the Units tab, the S1100w should be hierarchically positioned under the S3100.

In the Link Status pane of the S3100, the S1100w should be in the Clients/Slaves list.

Ensure that there is end-to-end video transmission in the lab before installing the devices in their final location. The initial configuration is now complete for the two devices. Point-to-Point Connection cTo allow video display on a monitor in a point-to-point context, you have to create a fixed connection between the S1100w transmitter and an S1970e-R receiver. You can connect to up to four transmitters to this receiver, to create four different point-to-point connections. Typically, both devices sit on the same IP subnet as SConfigurator and have the same VSIP port; to access other devices, refer to the device discovery section in the SConfigurator User Guide. For more information about the connection procedure, refer to the Managing Connections chapter, in the SConfigurator User Guide. 24 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide To perform a point-to-point connection:

1. Start SConfigurator. 2. In the Units tab, discover the desired devices. The discovered devices appear in the Units box. 3. Select the Connections tab, then click Add. The Connection Creator window appears. 4. Select a transmitter in the left column and a receiver in the right one. In the Transmitters column, you have access to the two encoders of each input; the video stream is the same for both. 5. In the Video list, select the desired video mode. 6. To disable I/O data transmission (for example, alarms) between the two selected devices, clear Forward I/O. 7. To disable serial port data transmission (like PTZ commands), clear Forward Serial Port Data. 8. To enable audio between the devices, ensure that Enable Audio is checked, then select the audio mode. Note: On the S1970e-R, you can activate audio on a single connection only. The active audio connection is the last that was performed. Furthermore, the audio connection will remain the same even if the S1970e-R is in guard tour mode, that is, the receiver will not switch between the audio streams of its four connected transmitters. For more information, refer to the Nextiva S1900e Series User Guide. 9. Click Connect. 10. In the SConfigurator confirmation window, click OK. You should now have video on the monitor connected to the receiver. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 25 3: Configuring and Installing the Device Installing the Wireless System After configuring successfully your wireless system, you are ready to install it. To optimize your system radio performance, carefully review the site planning information presented in Chapter 2 on page 5. For more information about the installation procedure of your outdoor wireless access point, refer to the Nextiva S3100 Series User Guide. Installing the Transmitter Warning: When installing colocated wireless systems, you have to take into account the distance limitations listed on page 14. Warning: Always mount the device with the mating connectors pointing downwards. Otherwise moisture may penetrate the device; the associated repair costs would not be covered by the warranty. To install a transmitter:

1. To install the S1100w on a light pole or mast, use the supplied pole mount brackets and stainless steel clamps. For wall mounting, use the side brackets already installed on the device. 2. If you are installing the S1100w equipment in a lightning prone environment or in a site where large AC mains power fluctuations are a common occurrence, add additional external surge protection to all vulnerable connections. Vulnerable connections are those that run for a long distance between the S1100w device and the connected equipment. For more information about surge protection, see Appendix E on page 63. 3. If the S1100w device will be directly exposed to the sun in an environment likely to reach 122F (50C), install a sun shield. A derate of 13F (7C) is required to protect the equipment. 4. If required, install an external antenna (see page 27). 5. Apply silicone grease on the mating connector of the CAB9P cable and on the main connector of the device. For the detailed procedure, refer to the leaflet shipped with the cable. Warning: Failure to apply the grease will void the warranty. 6. Connect the CAB9P cable to the S1100w device. To properly install the cable connector on the device, you have to turn until you feel a positive click. 7. Plug the BNC video connector of the CAB9P cable on the camera. 8. Perform the serial connection to the camera, if required (see page 27). 9. If you are using a junction box, route all wires to it first; then route the wires from the box to the target device. 10. Power up the transmitter. 26 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide Installing an Antenna If you bought a high gain antenna, install it after the S1100w is in place. The antennas provided by Verint Video Intelligence Solutions are designed to be mounted on a mast or pole of 23 inch (57.5 centimeter) diameter. To install an external antenna:

1. Install the antenna above the S1100w device. If you bought your antenna from Verint Video Intelligence Solutions, use the supplied pole mount bracket. 2. Screw the SMA connector of the antenna cable to the S1100w antenna port and tighten it with a 0.25-inch (0.6 centimeter) wrench. Warning: Do not over-tighten to avoid damaging the connector. The recommended torque is 8 lb.-in. (100 N-cm). You could use a calibrated SMA torque wrench

(for instance, from the Pasternack company, available at www.pasternack.com). 3. Apply two or three layers of electrical tape around all RF connections. The antenna cable and connectors are weather-tight; however, vibration caused by the wind will over time loosen the connectors and reduce the efficiency of the gaskets. The electrical tape will prevent this situation. 4. Carefully align the antennas of the S1100w and access point so that they have a clear RF line of sight. 5. To improve the signal level between both devices, use the antenna alignment utility from SConfigurator. Performing the RS-422/485 Serial Connection The Nextiva edge devices support only the RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 asynchronous protocols. For any other protocol, you may need a converter. Warning: At any time there must be only one serial peripheral connected to the edge device. For instance, when configuring the device through a COM port of the computer, you must unplug any RS-422/485 peripheral. RS-422/485 You use the CAB9P cable to properly connect the device to an RS-422 or RS-485 peripheral. Here is the wiring scheme for the four-wire RS-422 or RS-485 protocol:

Nextiva S1100w User Guide Configuring the I/Os To program alarms (or events) or use the audio features of the S1100w device, you need the CAB8P cable assembly. For detailed pinout information, see page 55. The S1100w supports two inputs and one output. Each signal has a dedicated purpose:

Input 1Either a transparent alarm link in a point-to-point configuration or with a video management software, or PTL (push-to-listen) audio transmission mode.

Input 2Push-to-talk (PTT) audio transmission mode.

OutputRelay for the input 1 signal in point-to-point alarm mode. You cannot program PTT/PTL audio and alarms at the same time, since input 1 is used in both contexts. Since the S1100w transmitters are mostly used with a video management software, you will perform most configuration and activation steps in it. Otherwise, in a point-to-point connection, you use SConfigurator for setup. Audio Two transmission modes for audio data are available, provided audio is supported everywhere in your system:

Full duplexData is transferred in both directions simultaneously. The I/Os are available for alarms.

PTTThe push-to-talk mode allows you to control audio communication between two devices. When creating a point-to-point connection between an S1100w transmitter and an S1970e receiver in SConfigurator, you set the transmission mode in the Connection Creator window. To activate the audio transmission channel, you must trigger an activation switch (for example, a button) that is based on the shorting of the alarm input 2 and alarm ground signals. If the PTT switches of both the transmitter and receiver are activated at the same time, the receiver will have precedence: Audio will be transferred from the S1970e receiver to the S1100w transmitter. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 29 3: Configuring and Installing the Device Here is a typical PTT application in a point-to-point context:

With SConfigurator, ensure that the input type in the Audio tab reflects this value. Regardless of the transmission mode, the connections for the audio equipment are:

You plug the audio input signal of the device to the Line-out connector on a pre-amplifier. Then you plug a microphone on the pre-amplifier.

You plug the audio output signal of the device to the Line-in connector on an amplifier. Then you plug a speaker on the amplifier. The audio input/output specifications are:

Mode Input Output Gain

-20 to -3 dBV

-45 to -3 dBV Impedance 30 kohm 8 ohms min. Frequency range 3003600 Hz Alarms The S1100w device can generate and receive alarms. To generate an alarm, you have to short the alarm input 1 and alarm ground signals on the S1100w device. When receiving an alarm in a point-to-point configuration, the relay output is configured to close the contact between the two alarm output pins (up to 48V at 100 mA). For example, with an S1970e receiver:

S1100w S3100 S1970e-R Alarm Input 1 Alarm Ground Alarm Out+ Alarm Out-

Input 1 Ground Relay Relay Event sensor Event sensor With SConfigurator, you activate the alarm process by checking the Forward I/O box in the Connection Creator window. 30 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide Updating the Firmware You can update the firmware of the S1100w devices with the SConfigurator utility or a video management software; for the detailed procedure, refer to the documentation of the software. The latest firmware files are available on the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions extranet (Technical Support, then Downloads, then Firmware Upgrades). Warning: Firmware downgrade is not supported on any device. If you perform a downgrade, any problem encountered will not be covered by your product warranty. The preferred method to update the firmware is through an IP network connection. If this update procedure fails:

1. Do not reboot the device, and restart the same procedure immediately. If you reboot the device before proceeding with the update procedure, it will stop responding. 2. If the problem persists, perform a firmware update through the RS-232 serial port. You should take into consideration the following facts regarding firmware update using the IP network:

It can be deactivated in the command line interface (CLI).

Ensure that the IP link is stable before starting the procedure; therefore it is not recommended to perform it over the Internet. Performing a Hardware Reset You can perform a hardware reset on the transmitter. This operation will assign the factory default settings to the S1100w (listed in Appendix A on page 51). All user-defined values will be lost. To reset the device parameters to their factory defaults without performing a hardware operation, see page 49. Following a reset, you will need to reprogram the S1100w device (for instance, its IP address, VSIP port, and wireless passkey) for proper operation within its network or with its wireless access point. To perform a hardware reset:

1. Power down the device. 2. Short the TxD and CTS wires together (to locate them, see page 54). 3. Power up the device and wait until the normal boot-up sequence is completed. 4. Remove the short on the TxD and CTS pins. The device is ready for use with the factory default settings. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 31 3: Configuring and Installing the Device Red/Blue Display If an S1100w transmitter currently streaming video to a management software loses its connection to a camera, the corresponding display tile in the software will present an error sequence, typically a half red, half blue pattern. Quality of Service Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of low-level networking protocols giving higher priority to more important data flows while ensuring that the less important ones do not fail. QoS is an essential technology for organizations rolling out a new generation of network applications such as real-time voice communications and high-quality video delivery. In the Nextiva edge devices, the two available QoS flavors are Type of Service (ToS) and Differentiated Service Code Points (DSCP). For QoS to be taken into account, the network infrastructure equipment (switches and routers) must support one of these protocols. If any of these devices does not support QoS, the QoS data will simply be processed as traditional non-QoS data. Furthermore, all Nextiva edge devices on a network must support the same QoS protocol (or no protocols at all). You can set a priority flag to three data types coming out of an edge device: video, audio, and control. A QoS-enabled switch (or router) uses this flag to determine how the current data compares to what is currently going through it. To set the QoS values, you need to go in the command line interface (CLI) of the device, access the Advanced > Quality of Service menu. For the procedure to access the CLI, see page 35.

To return to the previous menu, enter p. 8. To end the CLI work session:

a. Save the settings by entering s at the main menu, then pressing Enter. b. Exit the CLI by entering q at the main menu, then pressing Enter. Depending on the changed settings, the device may perform a soft boot. c. Close the Verint Console window. Warning: Do not use the Disconnect button to exit the CLI. Clicking it does not free the RS-232 connection and does not save your settings. To enter the CLI with Telnet:

Note: Ensure that your computer and the S1100w device are in the same IP subnet. 1. Open SConfigurator. 2. In the Units tab, discover the devices. 3. Select the desired device, then click Telnet. The CLI main menu appears in the Verint Console window. Serial Port The Serial Port menu enables you to establish the proper settings ensuring compatibility between the S1100w and the serial equipment with which it is connected (for example, PTZ camera). For more information about the serial port settings of this hardware product, refer to its user guide or contact your manufacturer. The S1100w transmitters have one configurable serial port for communicating with an external device. The parameters for the serial port are:

Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 37 4: Setting Parameters with the CLI Bit Rate The bit rate represents the data rate at which the target product operates. Possible values range from 1200 bps to 230,400 bps. Parity The serial equipment may have a parity of odd or even. It may also not have parity check;

most communication devices do not use parity. Line Driver By default, your device automatically detects the electrical line interface of the serial port

(RS-232 or RS-422/485). However, if your device cannot properly detect the electrical level

(for instance when there is too much noise on the line or too much signal attenuation due to excessive cable length), you can use the line driver setting to force its electrical line interface. Here are the possible line driver settings, where -d indicates that the auto-detection mode is activated, and -f, that the line driver is forced:

Setting 232f-d 232f-f 485f-d 485h-d 485h-f 485f-f 422f-d 422f-f Description RS-232 auto-detected, full-duplex operation RS-232 forced, full-duplex operation RS-422/485 auto-detected, 4-wire full-duplex, RS-485 operation RS-422/485 auto-detected, 2-wire half-duplex, RS-485 operation RS-422/485 forced, 2-wire half-duplex, RS-485 operation RS-422/485 forced, 4-wire full-duplex, RS-485 operation RS-422/485 auto-detected, 4-wire full-duplex, RS-422 operation RS-422/485 forced, 4-wire full-duplex, RS-422 operation Warning: If the line driver is forced to an RS-422/485 setting, you will not have access to the CLI unless you use an RS-485 to RS-232 converter or perform a hardware reset (described on page 31). RS-422/485 Operating Mode The operating mode setting enables you to establish the way your RS-422/485 serial equipment will interface with the S1100w device. The supported modes are:

RS-422 4 Wires

RS-485 4 Wires

RS-485 2 Wires 38 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide Access Management The Access Management menu takes care of user accounts (user names and passwords) and device security. User Accounts The User Accounts menu enables you to protect the configuration of the device by restricting its access with a user name and a password. Once the user account mode is activated, you need the user name/password combination to access the CLI through a serial connection or a Telnet session. Security The Security menu holds commands relative to the protection of the device. It allows you to control:

Firmware updates through the IP network

Access to Telnet

SSL IP Firmware Update You can prevent firmware updates to be performed on your device through the IP network. By default, this type of update is allowed. For more information about firmware updates, refer to the SConfigurator User Guide. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 39 4: Setting Parameters with the CLI Telnet Session By default, you can use Telnet to access the CLI of your device. To improve the security of your system, you may prohibit such an access. In this case, the CLI will only be accessible through a serial connection (with the SConfigurator console). Global Security Profile If you activate the global security profile, the device will only accept secure SSL connections. It also means that you cannot access the device anymore with Telnet and you cannot perform firmware updates through the IP network on it. SSL Passkey To secure a device with SSL, you need to provide a passkey. This passkey must be the same for all devices and the software tools to allow proper secure communication between them. It is recommended to perform this operation in SConfigurator (version 2.55 or higher for the tool and the device) or nDVR (in the Resource Administration Tool). Otherwise, to build a truly secure system, you should access the CLI through a physical serial connection, not through Telnet, therefore avoiding eavesdropping on the network. Network The Network menu allows you to configure several parameters to ensure the compatibility between the S1100w and its IP network. For more information about these settings, contact your network administrator. DHCP Configuration DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) allows devices and computers connected to a network to automatically get a valid network configuration from a server. For more information about DHCP, see Appendix C on page 57. You can set this option only if the S1100w is connected to a network that uses a DHCP server. Local IP Address The IP address is the identifier of the S1100w on the network. Its format is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number is in the 0255 range. Each device on a network must have a unique IP address. 40 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide Subnet Mask The subnet mask is the binary configuration specifying in which subnet the IP address of the device belongs. A subnet is a portion of a network that shares a common address component. On TCP/IP networks, a subnet is defined as a group of devices whose IP addresses have the same prefix. Unless otherwise specified by your network administrator, it is recommended to use a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. Gateway The gateway represents a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. Warning: Never use the IP address of the device as the gateway value. Ping Request Ping is a basic Internet program that allows you to check that a particular IP address exists and can accept requests. To ping a specific device:

1. 2. In the Ping Request Send Buffer Size parameter, enter the buffer size (in bytes). In the Ping Request Target parameter, enter the IP address of the device. 3. Execute the Ping Remote Address command. Wireless Communication The Wireless Communication menu contains a set of parameters relative to radio frequency

(RF) and wireless security. The parameter set varies depending on the MAC mode (SPCF or 802.11). The parameters for SPCF are:

Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 41 4: Setting Parameters with the CLI The parameters for the 802.11 protocol are:

Basic Parameters Passkey (SPCF only) The wireless passkey is a unique case-sensitive identifier enabling secure and encrypted RF communication between the S1100w device and its access point. The passkey size varies depending on the key entry format (presented on page 46):

32 digits if hexadecimal

16 string characters if string (default) For the wireless connection to be secure, do no enter a known name (like a street name), but instead use a mix of digits and letters. Furthermore, do not disclose the passkey. The connection security is based on the secrecy and uniqueness of the passkey. It is a good practice to change the default passkey during the configuration process. MAC Mode The available MAC (Media Access Control) protocols are:

SPCFThe proprietary protocol that uses AES encryption (with key rotation) over the wireless link to secure communication between the devices and resolve hidden node, quality of service, range, and problems inherent to 802.11 wireless networking products. The access point for an S1100w in SPCF is the Nextiva S3100.

IEEE 802.11The standard protocol for using commercial 802.11-compliant access points. SSID (Service Set ID) (802.11 only) The service set ID is the name of the wireless network; it is a 032 character string. The service set ID must be the same in the S1100w and in the access point. 42 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide WPA Authentication Method (802.11 only) The S1100w in 802.11 mode supports the following authentication mechanisms:

WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access version 1 in Pre-Shared Key mode, also known as personal mode)

WPA2-PSK (WPA version 2, also known as 802.11i, in personal mode)

WPA-EAP-TLS (WPA in Enterprise mode with Extensible Authentication Protocol and Transport Layer Security)

WPA2-EAP-TLS

WPA-EAP-TTLS (MSCHAPv2) (WPA in Enterprise mode with Extensible Authentication Protocol, Tunneled Transport Layer Security, and the Microsoft version of the Challenge Handshake Authentication protocol)

WPA2-EAP-TTLS (MSCHAPv2)

WPA-PEAP-TLS (MSCHAPv2) (WPA in Enterprise mode with Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol, Transport Layer Security, and the Microsoft version of the Challenge Handshake Authentication protocol)

WPA2-PEAP-TLS (MSCHAPv2) You can also choose to not use an authentication method. The authentication method must be the same in the S1100w and in the access point. Encryption Algorithm (802.11 only) The encryption algorithm indicates how wireless data is encrypted. The following algorithms are available:

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)This encryption type is available only when the authentication method is NONE.

AES-CCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard-Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol)

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)

WPA-AUTO-SELECTThe encryption type is automatically chosen. You can also choose to not use an encryption algorithm. The encryption algorithm must be the same in the S1100w and in the access point. WPA Encryption Passphrase (802.11 only) The encryption passphrase is an identifier (from 8 to 63 characters) used to secure the RF communication between the S1100w device and its access point when the authentication method is any WPA or WPA2 flavor. For the wireless connection to be secure, do no enter a known name (like a street name), but instead use a mix of digits and letters. Furthermore, do not disclose the passphrase. The connection security is based on the secrecy and uniqueness of the passphrase. It is a good practice to change the default passphrase during the configuration process. The passphrase must be the same in the S1100w and in the access point. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 43 4: Setting Parameters with the CLI WPA Private Key Passphrase (802.11 only) The private key passphrase is a case-sensitive identifier (from 0 to 63 characters) used to secure the access to an 802.11 certificate. WPA Negotiation Timeout (802.11 only) The negotiation timeout is the maximum time (in seconds) given for the device to be authenticated. WPA Reauthentication Period (802.11 only) The reauthentication period is the frequency (in days) at which the authentication process will be re-activated with new keys, if a WPA2 authentication method was selected. WPA EAP Login (802.11 only) The EAP login is a case-sensitive identifier (from 0 to 63 characters) used to recognize the device when a TTLS or PEAP authentication method was selected. WPA EAP Password (802.11 only) The EAP password is a case-sensitive password (from 0 to 63 characters) used to secure the authentication process when a TTLS or PEAP method was selected. WEP Key (802.11 only) The WEP key is a case-sensitive identifier used to secure the RF connection when the authentication method is NONE; this parameter is not displayed in the other contexts. The size of the key varies depending on the WEP scheme:

5 string or 10 hexadecimal characters in 64-bit WEP

13 string or 26 hexadecimal characters in 128-bit WEP

16 string or 32 hexadecimal characters in 152-bit WEP The WEP key must be the same in the S1100w and in the access point. RF Band The following frequency bands are available:

802.11a (5 GHz OFDM)

802.11g (2.4 GHz OFDM)

public safety (4.9 GHz OFDM) Channel The RF channel used by the S1100w device is determined by its wireless access point. However, in a non-DFS context, you can specify an initial value for the roaming process by which the S1100w will find its access point; be aware that this initial channel may not be the one used by the access point. 44 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide In a 4.9 GHz band context, the list of channels varies depending on the chosen bandwidth. For the list of channels, see page 7; for the channel bandwidth parameter, see next. Channel Bandwidth In the 4.9 GHz band, the bandwidth can be fragmented to allow 5- and 10-MHz channels;

the default channel width is 20 MHz. This parameter only appears if the RF band is 4.9 GHz. The list of available channels varies depending on the chosen bandwidth. Tx Bit Rate The transmission bit rate is the data rate at which the device operates. A high bit rate reduces the effective distance between two functional devices. When an S1100w connects to its master for the first time, it automatically receives the best possible value (the Auto value), with a default RF margin set to 15 dB (to change the margin, see page 47). Once the device is operating properly, Verint strongly recommends to change the configured bit rate from Auto to the actual bit rate of the connection. This way, the wireless communication will be more stable in the presence of changing atmospheric conditions or other RF interferers. To know the actual bit rate of the connection, look in the Advanced >

Communication Status and Statistics > Wireless Status menu. If the quality of the RF link degrades severely, the actual bit rate could be lower that the manually configured one. The available bit rates for the S1100w device are:

Band 2.4 GHz 4.9 GHz 5 GHz Channel width Bit rates (Mbps) N/A 5 MHz 10 MHz 20 MHz N/A 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 1.5, 2.25, 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, and 13.5 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, and 27 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Antenna Gain If you enter the gain of the antenna you connect to the device, the S1100w will be able to automatically change its transmission power so that the total power (device and antenna) does not exceed the maximum value established by your countrys regulations. For more information about the maximum antenna gain you can use, see page 19. ISO Country Code You must assign the proper country of operation to the device, so that it will:

Comply to the DFS/TPC regulations, if applicable

Respect the EIRP rules

Use the proper set of frequency channels Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 45 4: Setting Parameters with the CLI Advanced Parameters The Advanced Wireless Setup menu contains specialized RF features. The parameter set varies depending on the MAC mode (SPCF or 802.11). The parameters for SPCF are:

The parameter for the 802.11 protocol are:

Passkey Entry Format The wireless and WEP passkeys can have two formats: String (default) or Hexadecimal. Tx Power Scale The transmission power scale indicates the level of emitting power of the device radio. The available values are:

MaximumThe maximum allowed.

50%The power is reduced by 3 dB.

25%The power is reduced by 6 dB.

12.5%The power is reduced by 9 dB.

MinimumThe power is set at 3 dBm. Sensitivity Threshold (SPCF only) The sensitivity threshold is the minimum signal level perceived by the radio of the device. Reducing the sensitivity of the radio enables unwanted noise to be filtered out. A safe value is 10 dB below the current received signal level (displayed in the Advanced >

Communication Status and Statistics > Wireless Status menu). The default value, Normal, represents the most sensitive context. You must be careful not to reduce the sensitivity to a level where the device would not hear its legitimate correspondent. 46 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide Minimum Margin (SPCF only) The minimum margin is used when the transmission bit rate is set to Auto (see page 45). It represents the difference in dB between the actual signal received by the device and the minimum signal required by a given bit rate to correctly receive data on the RF link. The default minimum margin is 15 dB. Indoor/Outdoor RF Regulation Depending on the country of operation and the chosen frequency band, the device is allowed to operate indoors only, outdoors only, or either indoors or outdoors. The frequency channels available in the indoor-only regulation are different from those assigned to indoors/outdoors; the same goes for the outdoor-only channels. Note: Under the RF regulation, a device programmed to be used only indoors must not be installed outdoors, and vice versa. To know which frequency channels are available in your country of operation in each of the three operation modes, refer to the Wireless Frequency Plan document located on the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions extranet (Technical Support, then Downloads, then Utilities and Tools). The default factory value for most countries is indoor/outdoor. System Status The system status information indicates the current values of internal S1100w parameters, including the firmware version. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 47 4: Setting Parameters with the CLI Advanced The Advanced menu holds a series of advanced setups mainly used by Verint Video Intelligence Solutions technical support. Some of these parameters are available through SConfigurator or a video management software.

The default VSIP port of all devices is 5510. Note: VSIP ports 9541, 65500, and those under 1024 are reserved and should not be used, not even for serial port, video, or audio communication. The maximum value is 65535. 48 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide Conducting Site Surveys The S1100w device allows you to perform site surveys on your RF network. A site survey scans all frequency channels, evaluate the interference level in each channel, and allows you to choose the channel with the less interference. You can perform the following operations relative to RF site surveys:

Specify the number of consecutive surveys to perform

Start and stop a site survey

Look at the last survey report

Reset the survey database To conduct site surveys:

1. From the main menu, choose Advanced > Communication Status and Statistics >

Wireless Status, then press Enter. 2. Perform the required operations. Note: During the site survey execution, the RF link will be momentarily broken

(duration varies depending on the number of iterations). The link is automatically restored when the survey is finished. 3. Enter p until you are in the main menu. 4. Enter q to exit. Load Default Configuration The Load Default Configuration command, located in the main menu, resets all device parameters to their factory settings (described in Appendix A on page 51). All user-defined values will be lost. To reset the parameters to their factory defaults with a hardware operation instead, see page 31. Following a reset, you will need to reprogram the S1100w device (for instance, its IP address and VSIP port) for proper operation within its network. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 49 4: Setting Parameters with the CLI Reboot System The Reboot System command, located in the main menu, performs a soft boot on the S1100w.

The APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) scheme, available on the Windows operating systems, enables a device to assign itself a temporary IP address. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 57 C: DHCP Support and APIPA At startup, an edge device searches for a valid IP network configuration. The device requires this configuration prior to starting its functions. The network configuration for Nextiva devices consists of:

An IP address

A subnet mask

A gateway The device first looks in its local memory. If no configuration is found, it tries to contact a DHCP server. If DHCP configuration failsif the device does not find a server or if it cannot get a configuration from it within one minutethe device assigns itself temporary network settings based on the APIPA addressing scheme. This scheme allows a device to find a unique IP address until it receives a complete network configuration, either manually or from a DHCP server. A device in APIPA mode does not reside on the same subnet as the other devices on the IP network; therefore, it may not be able to see them or be visible to them. Devices use the following temporary APIPA configuration:

IP address: 169.254. *. *

Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0

Gateway: 169.254. *. *

The *. * portion is based on the MAC address of the device. A device is in APIPA mode:

In the real world, under the right circumstances, these surges can reach sufficiently high levels to damage almost any electronic equipment. Therefore you need to add protection to your devices. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 63 E: Surge Protection The S1100w provides basic surge protection on all electrical lines. If you are installing the equipment in a lightning prone or heavy lightning environment, or in a site where large AC mains power fluctuations are a common occurrence, Verint strongly recommends that you add additional external surge protection to all vulnerable connections. Vulnerable connections are those that run for a long distance between the S1100w device and the connected equipment. The video camera is usually within a short distance of the S1100w transmitter; the S1100w interface cable can be routed directly into the camera housing. Therefore, the video line

(and the serial port if using a PTZ camera) will seldom need additional protection. The power feed usually runs down the mounting mast or wall for more than 20 feet

(7.6 meters); it is a good candidate for additional protection in a surge prone environment. This protection will benefit both the camera and the device. Excellent international sources for external surge protection equipment and general surge and lightning protection information are:

Polyphaser Corporationwww.polyphaser.com

Citel inc.www.citelprotection.com

Transtectorwww.transtector.com For the curious mind, a surge protector helps to clamp the surge to safe levels and divert its energy to the earthing point, preventing device damage. Experienced installers know that an effective surge protection must be installed with proper earthing and grounding. 64 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels Wireless interference can occur between wireless cells using adjacent frequency channels

(for example, channels 149 and 153 in the 5 GHz band). Therefore, it is preferable to avoid using adjacent channels. However, if your setup requires you to, you must follow specific guidelines regarding minimum distances between antennas and signal level margin. Note: In the 2.4 GHz band, the adjacent channel term applies only to the three independent channels (1, 6, and 11). Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 65 F: Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels If using adjacent frequency channels in a non-DFS environment, you should respect guidelines relative to the minimum separation between device antennas, to avoid interference. To reduce radio interference possibilities between two adjacent channels, you should ensure that the maximum margin between the emission of the two wireless cells is 25 dB. To meet this objective, perform a site survey and apply minimum distance guidelines. Performing a Site Survey The difference in signal level between two adjacent cells must be less than or equal to 25 dB. If this margin is higher than 25 dB, there will be too much interference in the two adjacent wireless cells. To calculate this margin, you need to perform a site survey; for more information, see page 49. Here is an example of a 25 dB margin between channels 8 and 9 in the 4.9 GHz band:

Interference between the two channels Consider the following setup in the 4.9 GHz band with 5-MHz bandwidth, where Cell B uses channel 6 and you are trying to add Cell A on channel 3 (adjacent to channel 6):

B2 B3 A2 A3 B1 A1 Cell B Cell A To determine if this setup is feasible, you need to conduct a site survey on device A1 (the master device in Cell A), then calculate the margin between the two cells. During the site survey, device A1 will find the other five devices. With the provided signal levels, you need to check if S2 - S1 <= 25 dB, where:

S1 is the lowest signal level in the wireless cell of the device performing the site survey

(A1 in the example).

S2 is the highest signal level in the adjacent cell (Cell B in the example). 66 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide To calculate the emission margin between two adjacent wireless cells:

1. Open SConfigurator, then go to the Units tab. 2. Select the master device in the wireless cell you are adding, then click Telnet. 3. From the main menu of the command line interface (CLI), choose Advanced >

Communication Status and Statistics > Wireless Status, then press Enter. 4. For a thorough scan, specify 60 site survey iterations. 5. Start the site survey operation. Note: During the execution, the RF link will be momentarily broken (duration varies depending on the number of iterations). The link is automatically restored when the survey is finished. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 67 F: Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels 6. When the survey is complete, visualize the report. For example:

Devices found on channel 3 Devices found on channel 6 Device name Signal level This report provides the signal levels between device A1 and the other five devices in the network. B2 B3 A2

-75 A3

-45

-70 A1 Cell A B1 Cell B The lowest signal in Cell A is -75 (S1) and the highest signal in Cell B is -45 (S2). The result of S2 - S1 (-45 - -75) is 30. Since the margin is higher than 25 dB, there will be interference issues. 68 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Nextiva S1100w User Guide Minimum Distances To respect the 25 dB margin between two adjacent channels, in addition to performing a site survey, you can use guidelines relative to minimum distances between the wireless devices. By respecting them, you can assume that there will not be radio interference between the devices. Three physical setups are covered:

The minimum separation between devices using adjacent channels is:

For assistance, contact the Verint Video Intelligence Solutions Support group. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 69 F: Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels The following deployment scenarios respect these limitations:

Using only 5 GHz channels, all on the same side of a building:

5.8 GHz 165 5.3 GHz 56 5.8 GHz 157 5.3 GHz 64 5.8 GHz 149 5.3 GHz 52 5.8 GHz 161 5.3 GHz 60 5.8 GHz 153 3 feet (1m) each 43 feet (13m) Notice that the devices using the adjacent channels 52 and 56 are separated by the prescribed 43 feet (13m). However, you can intersperse other devices in-between, as long as they do not use adjacent channels. This way, you can increase the device density without encountering interference problems.

In the 4.9 GHz band, using only 5 MHz channels, all on the same side of a building:

However, you can intersperse other devices in-between, as long as they do not use adjacent channels. This way, you can increase the device density without encountering interference problems.

Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 71 72 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions DFS and False Radar Detection Nextiva wireless devices operating in the European Union must adhere to the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) standard; this standard forces any RF transmitter to change frequency channels if radar activity is detected on the current operating channel. If two colocated wireless cells are communicating on adjacent channels, it is possible that the interference between the two systems causes false radar detections. This side-effect is a well-known industry-wide problem. New features in the wireless devices help minimize the occurrence of false detection events. Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 73 G: DFS and False Radar Detection To avoid false radar detection caused by an adjacent channel, the signal level of an potential interfering device on the first adjacent channel must not exceed -50 dB, -36 dB on the second channel, and -32 dB on the third channel; for example, if you use channel 100, 104 is the first adjacent channel, 108 the second channel, and 112 is the third channel. The design of wireless systems in a DFS context becomes difficult because not only can the master devices cause an interference, but the clients and slaves on an adjacent channel can also generate interferences that can cause false radar detection. There should be a reduced number of cells available to limit the amount of possible false radar detections; it is strongly suggested to limit the number of colocated cells to six. The new features that help reduce the possibility of false detection events are:

Half Channel Selection This new parameter of the command line interface (CLI) eliminates the possibility of using adjacent channels. Enable this feature on all masters (S3100, S1100-R) in a new installation to avoid the potential conflict of having two masters on adjacent channels. By default this feature is disabled. If this option is enabled, the channel list becomes:

100(DFS), 108(DFS), 116(DFS), 124(DFS), 132(DFS), 140(DFS), 254(Auto DFS/TPC) The full channel list is:

100(DFS), 104(DFS), 108(DFS), 112(DFS), 116(DFS), 120(DFS), 124(DFS), 128(DFS), 132(DFS), 136(DFS), 140(DFS), 254(Auto DFS/TPC) In the CLI: Wireless Communication > Advanced Wireless Setup > DFS/TPC Adjacent Channel Removal

Slave Radar Detection Management A new CLI parameter allows you to disable radar detection on slave or client devices, therefore reducing the number of nodes that can detect radars. In a typical DFS environment, the slave or client can detect a radar and alert its master to change the frequency channel. This situation can cause a major problem because it increases the number of nodes that can detect radars. The default value is Disabled, meaning that the slave/client does not detect radars; in this case, the slave/client EIRP is reduced from 30 to 23 dBm. In the CLI: Wireless Communication > Advanced Wireless Setup > Enable Radar Detection on Slave

Manual Channel Selection You can now select the initial frequency channel that will be used by the master, with SConfigurator or the CLI. This new feature does not disable radar detection on master devices. This process will still take place and if a radar is detected, the device will go through the regular DFS process (stop transmission on the channel, block this channel for 30 minutes, and select a new channel in the available channel list). 74 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions S1100w Technical Specifications Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 75 S1100w Technical Specifications Here are the S1100w technical specifications:
