Layout Laying Out the Equipment Figure 211 Place the Unit 4 The unit first turns on its GPS and acquires a new position. Then it will begin a series of internal and external tests. The LEDs on the top of the unit indicate the current test and whether the unit passes or fails each test. NOTE The WRU will attempt to get a 3-meter GPS lock for up to 15 minutes. During this time, the GPS LED flashes. The WRU will not form until the GPS lock is achieved. If the GPS lock cannot be achieved, form by serial number. 5 Press or stomp the geophone into the ground. If you stomp the geophone while the geophone test is running, the test will fail and the WRU will not deploy. Verify that the WRU does not show a GEO self-test failure (see the following figure) after placing the geophone. If the WRU does show a self-test failure, pick up the WRU, point the geophone connector end towards the ground until all of the LEDs illuminate, and then place the unit flat on the ground to re-run the self-test.

Skip a self-test by tipping the WRU geophone down and then returning it to the upright position (flat on the ground). 2.4.4 Placing the LIU in the Field The LIU is part of the backhaul configuration. See 3. Backhaul on page 23 for more information. 22 RT System 2 v2.3.0 Deployment Guide R01.b 2010-2013 Wireless Seismic, Inc. All rights reserved. Draft 3 3. Backhaul 3.1 Overview In network communications, the backhaul is the part of the network that contains the links and equipment between the core network and the sub networks. The following table defines concepts associated with backhaul communications:

Table 31 Backhaul Communication Concepts Definition Reference Term Point-to-Point Point-to-Point Single Backhaul Data Direction on page 25 Point-to-Point Dual Backhaul Data Direction on page 26 4. Point-to-Point Backhaul on page 62 Point-to-Multipoint Backhaul Data Direction on page 27 5. Point-to-Multipoint Backhaul on page 96 A method where each radio node in the network captures and disseminates its own data as well as serves as a relay for other radio nodes in the network sending data along a path, hopping from one node to the next. This is how the RT System 2 WRUs send information to the LIU and how LIUs communicate with each other in a point-to-

point configuration. Also called Bucket Brigade or String-of-

Pearls. A method where each line station LIU communicates directly with the recorder LIU. The backhaul is composed of a number of line station mast/radio/LIUs pointing to a recording truck mast/radio/LIU. The following list describes the most common configurations:

Point-to-Multipoint A single recording truck radio and multiple line station radios Point-to-Multipoint (redundant) A single active recording truck radio, a backup (redundant) recording truck radio, and multiple line station radios Point-to-Multipoint (custom) A combination of recording truck radios and line station radios Point-to-Multipoint Also called Star Configuration.

Backhaul Overview Table 31 Backhaul Communication Concepts Term Definition Reference Power over Ethernet

(PoE) Ubiquiti Rocket/Bullet Private Network Connection on page 105 Ubiquiti NanoStation Private Network Connection on page 70 A technology that passes electrical power along an Ethernet cable. PoE is used where DC power is not available and USB unsuitable. Power can be supplied at the end of a network span or somewhere in the middle. PoE switches supply power at the end of a span. The RT System 2 Line Interface Unit

(LIU) acts as a switch with PoE. PoE injectors supply power somewhere between the PoE switch and the powered device. They inject power and do not affect the data. A discrete PoE injector is used when configuring the backhaul radios. In the RT System 2 system, the LIU communicates with the Central Software System (CSS) computer in the central recording truck along a backhaul on the 5.8 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) radio band. Some smaller systems may not require a backhaul. 24 RT System 2 v2.3.0 Deployment Guide R01.b 2010-2013 Wireless Seismic, Inc. All rights reserved. Draft 3.

Draft 3. Backhaul Backhaul Components 3.2.1 LIU The data transmitted by the WRUs is collected by the Line Interface Unit (LIU). The LIU acts as the interface between the network of WRUs and the backhaul equipment. The LIU has an Ethernet port that can be connected directly to a computer, or more commonly, to an armored fiber optic cable or a backhaul radio. Backhaul radios operate in the 5.8 GHz band. A second array of WRUs can be deployed on the other side of the LIU, symmetrically or asymmetrically around the LIU. The LIU is shown in the following figure:

Figure 37 Line Interface Unit (LIU) Before the Central Software System can communicate with the LIU, you must set up the backhaul. NOTE See D. LED Indicators on page 161 for an explanation of the LED status and error conditions. R01.b RT System 2 v2.3.0 Deployment Guide 35 2010-2013 Wireless Seismic, Inc. All rights reserved. Draft 3. Backhaul Backhaul Components 3.2.2 LIU Battery or Power Supply Power is supplied to the LIU components by way of a 12 V DC battery or power supply. The external battery is not supplied as part of the backhaul system. TIP The backhaul power requirements vary depending on the hardware in use and period of use. For example, you may be using one or two radios. Supply enough power to ensure there is enough power for the entire duration of the time you are using the backhaul. See the Troubleshooting Guide, Best Practices chapter, LIU Batteries section for instructions on how to hot-swap the LIU battery. 3.2.3 LIU and WRU Antennas The following table lists the supported antennas for the LIUs and the WRUs. The remote and central backhauls use the same antennas:

Point-to-Point Backhaul 4.1 Overview The backhaul is composed of a number of line station mast/radio/LIUs. The number of poles pole (masts/towers) in your point-to-point spread must be a multiple of the number of channels used. A channel is an 80 MHz wide frequency band with 40 MHz on either side of the center frequency. For example, if the center frequency is 2.412 GHz, the frequency range for that channel is 2.372 to 2.452 GHz. Figure 41 Channel 80 MHz Wide Frequency Band When using a system with six possible channels, the backhaul could have just 6 poles, or a multiple of 6 poles: 6, 12, 18, 24, and so on. This section uses an example of six possible channels, and 18 line station mast/radio/

LIUs. Each pole (mast/tower) has two radios and one LIU as shown in the following figure. NOTE If using the mast at the recording truck, connect the LIU with an Ethernet or Fiber cable to the recording truck. If the mast is not used at the recording truck, the connections shown in the figure to the recording truck are not used.

Point radio pairs directly at each other where possible (see Maintain Line-of-Sight on page 75). Some inaccuracy is tolerable; however, align the radios as close as possible using binoculars or compass bearing. 2 From the recording truck, open the Ubiquiti Discovery Tool. Verify that all of the radios are listed, and verify that each of the radios has a valid IP Address. Note the following:

If a radio is listed, that means there is an Ethernet path to the radio. If a radio has a valid IP address that means the DHCP is active, DHCP is being accepted by the radios, and DHCP is being passed from radio link to radio link. DHCP server-assigned IP addresses are 10.xxx.xxx.xxx Non-DHCP server-assigned IP addresses are 192.168.1.xxx 3 If a radio is not listed, send a troubleshooter to the first radio that is not listed (the radio closest to the recording truck) and perform the following steps:

a Verify that the LIU has active LED lights (the battery has power). b Verify that the radio is visible in Discovery. c d Connect a laptop to the LIU. Verify that the radio is securely connected to the LIU with a known-good cable. IMPORTANT: The Ethernet ports on the LIU are PoE enabled. When connecting a laptop computer to the LIU, use a non-powered cable (60-0039) to protect the computers Ethernet port. Do not use a powered Ethernet cable (60-0054). See Ethernet Cable Connections Comparison on page 78 for more information. e Open the discovery tool and verify that the radio is listed. If the radio is not listed, perform the following steps. 1) Verify that the radio has power by visually inspecting the LEDs. 2) If the radio has power but is not visible to the laptop, try a different Ethernet port. 3) If the radio does not have power, troubleshoot the power and/or replace the radio. f Verify that the radio is pointed in the direction of its partner (pair) radio and has reasonable line-of-sight to its partner (pair) (see Maintain Line-of-Sight on page 75). g Verify that the last radio visible from the doghouse is pointed in the correct direction. h Reload the configuration file to the radio. i If the above steps fail, contact Wireless Seismic, Inc. for assistance.

Point-to-Point Backhaul Connecting to the Recording Truck The following table lists information about the pendant radio connection. Table 43 Pendant Radio Link Elements Item Configuration Description The following additional configuration files are provided:

Recorder-AP.cfg Recorder-S.cfg RR PN Batteries The radio at the recording truck is a Rocket radio with an Omni antenna and is indicated in the drawings as RR (Recorder/

Rocket). Use the Recorder-AP.cfg file with this radio. The RR radio should be installed at the top of the pole, pointing directly at the pendant radio (PN). The radio at the line is a NanoStation radio with a built-in antenna and is indicated in the drawings as PN (Pendant/Nano). Use the Recorder-S.cfg file with this radio. The PN radio should be installed at the top of the pole, pointing directly at the recording truck radio antenna (RR). The optimal angle between the pendant radio link (RR to PN) and the next LIU in the line segment (pearl) is 90 as shown in Optimal Angle, Radio Link to Recording Truck on page 92. If necessary, 30 off of perpendicular should also work. The PN radio should be at least 3 ft (0.91 m) from the line pole

(Pole 1 in the example shown in Connecting the Recording Truck with a Pendant Radio Link on page 91). Use as much distance as you can as allowed by your cable lengths. The PN radio and pole should be between the line and the recording truck as shown in Connecting the Recording Truck with a Pendant Radio Link on page 91. Adding a third radio to the LIU increases the battery usage at this position. To ensure that the LIU does not reset due to a low or depleted battery, keep two batteries connected to the LIU at all times. The battery with the lowest voltage is used until the voltage falls below the Unit Thresholds ? LIU Voltage Warning number

(usually about 11V). At this point, the LIU auto-swaps to the battery with the higher voltage. Monitor the battery status in the Ground Equipment Table. Replace the low-voltage battery with a fully-charged battery as soon as possible after the battery auto-swap occurs. 94 RT System 2 v2.3.0 Deployment Guide R01.b 2010-2013 Wireless Seismic, Inc.

Point-to-Multipoint Backhaul 5.1 Overview A channel is a frequency band of a specified width. For example, if the center frequency is 2.412 GHz, and the frequency band is 80 MHz wide, there are 40 MHz on either side of the center frequency, and the frequency range for that channel is 2.372 to 2.452 GHz. Figure 51 Channel, 80 MHz Wide Frequency Band Some custom configurations will require multiple channels operating at the same time. Verify that channel ranges do not overlap to avoid interference. The recording truck radios are configured Access Points (A) and the line station radios are configured as Stations (S). An Access Point communicates only with a Station. An Access Point cannot communicate with an Access Point, and a Station cannot communicate with a Station. TIP A line station mast requires an LIU to communicate with the recording truck. A mast located at the recording truck can communicate using an LIU or a PoE connected directly to the recording truck computer. See the following figures for examples.

All rights reserved. Draft 5. Point-to-Multipoint Backhaul Install and Troubleshoot 5.4.1 Using one Recorder Radio This section describes how the steps to configure one recorder radio, and multiple line station radios. To install and troubleshoot the radios:

1 Using the plan created in Create Plan and Map on page 109, install all of the radios, masts, and LIUs. Point radio pairs directly at each other where possible (see Maintain Line-of-Sight on page 110). Some inaccuracy is tolerable; however, align the radios as close as possible using binoculars or compass bearing. 2 If your configuration includes a redundant recorder radio, do not supply power to it yet

(RECORDER_B). 3 From the recording truck, open the Ubiquiti Discovery Tool. Verify that all of the radios are listed, and verify that each of the radios has a valid IP Address. Note the following:

If a radio is listed, that means there is an Ethernet path to the radio. If a line station radio has a valid IP address that means the DHCP is active, DHCP is being accepted by the radios, and DHCP is being passed from the recorder radio. DHCP server-assigned IP addresses are 10.xxx.xxx.xxx Non-DHCP server-assigned IP addresses are 192.168.1.xxx 4 If the recorder radio is the only radio listed, the problem is probably at the recorder radio. Perform the following steps:

a Verify that the recorder radio is connected to the antenna. b Verify that the antenna mast is elevated to the correct height c Verify that the recorder radio has DHCP by validating the IP address displayed in the Ubiquiti Discovery tool. It should not be 192.168.1.20 (factory default). If it is 192.168.1.20, contact Wireless Seismic for DHCP support. d Reload the configuration file on the recorder radio. e If the recorder radio is still the only radio listed, proceed to the line station radios. 5 If a line station radio is not listed, send a troubleshooter to the radio that is not listed and perform the following steps:

a Verify that the line station radio is securely connected to the LIU with a known-good cable. b Verify that the LIU has active LED lights (the battery has power). c Verify that the LIU has a flashing LNK LED. Note the following:

A flashing LNK LED confirms that the LIU can communicate over the network and obtain an IP address through DHCP. This step helps identify the exact location in the network where communications are broken by proving the network is active between the two radios on a specific pole. If the LNK LED is not flashing, replace the Ethernet cable. If the LNK LED is still not flashing, replace the battery. If the LNK LED is still not flashing, reload the radio configuration file. If the LNK LED is still not flashing, replace the LIU. d Verify that a known-good Ethernet cable is securely attached to the radio. e Connect a laptop to the LIU. IMPORTANT: The Ethernet ports on the LIU are PoE enabled. When connecting a laptop computer to the LIU, use a non-powered cable (60-0039) to protect the computers Ethernet port. Do not use a powered Ethernet cable (60-0054). See Ethernet Cable Connections Comparison on page 116 for more information. R01.b RT System 2 v2.3.0 Deployment Guide 115 2010-2013 Wireless Seismic, Inc. All rights reserved. Draft 5. Point-to-Multipoint Backhaul Install and Troubleshoot f Open the discovery tool and verify that the radio is listed. If the radio is not listed, perform the following steps. 1) Verify that the radio has power by visually inspecting the LEDs. 2) If the radio has power but is not visible to the laptop, replace the radio. 3) If the radio does not have power, replace the cable and/or the radio. g Verify that the line station radio is pointed in the direction of the recorder radio and has reasonable line-of-sight (see Maintain Line-of-Sight on page 110). h If the line station radio still cannot be seen, replace the radio.

Recorder-AP.cfg Recorder-S.cfg RR PN Batteries The radio at the recording truck is a Rocket radio with an Omni antenna and is indicated in the drawings as RR (Recorder/

Rocket). Use the Recorder-AP.cfg file with this radio. The RR radio should be installed at the top of the pole, pointing directly at the pendant radio (PN). The radio at the line is a NanoStation radio with a built-in antenna and is indicated in the drawings as PN (Pendant/Nano). Use the Recorder-S.cfg file with this radio. The PN radio should be installed at the top of the pole, pointing directly at the recording truck radio antenna (RR). The PN radio should be at least 3 ft (0.91 m) from the line pole

(Pole 1 in the example shown in Connecting the Recording Truck with a Pendant Radio Link on page 129). Use as much distance as you can as allowed by your cable lengths. The PN radio and pole should be between the line and the recording truck as shown in Connecting the Recording Truck with a Pendant Radio Link on page 129. Adding a third radio to the LIU increases the battery usage at this position. To ensure that the LIU does not reset due to a low or depleted battery, keep two batteries connected to the LIU at all times. The battery with the lowest voltage is used until the voltage falls below the Unit Thresholds ? LIU Voltage Warning number

(usually about 11V). At this point, the LIU auto-swaps to the battery with the higher voltage. Monitor the battery status in the Ground Equipment Table. Replace the low-voltage battery with a fully-charged battery as soon as possible after the battery auto-swap occurs. R01.b RT System 2 v2.3.0 Deployment Guide 131 2010-2013 Wireless Seismic, Inc.

Observe the following storage precautions:

Remove the batteries from the WRU for storage The recommended storage temperature for Lithium ion batteries is as follows:

From -20C to +45C for a maximum period of one month From -20C to +35C for a maximum of 6 months, after which time the battery packs will need to be recharged to above 50% capacity Storing at cooler temperatures slows down self discharge and capacity loss over time. Store the batteries at 25C or less if possible The recommended storage charge levels are as follows:

Charge (or discharge) batteries to a 30% to 50% charge level before placing into storage. Higher or lower charge levels can reduce the battery life. Never store the battery completely depleted of charge unless for disposal. Periodic charging is necessary to maintain 30% to 50% charge when stored for a long period of time Store batteries in a well ventilated area Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time, either in the product or in storage. When a battery has been unused for 6 months, check the charge status and charge or dispose of the battery as appropriate.

Using a Compass This chapter describes how to use a sighting compass. A sighting compass has the same features as a baseplate compass, but adds a vertical mirror that allows you to view the compass dial and the landmark at the same time. Figure F1 Sighting Compass (70-0067) For a in-depth descriptions of using a compass with a map and setting the declination on a compass see the following links:

http://www.compassdude.com/default.shtml http://www.compassdude.com/compass-declination.shtml http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/navigation-basics.html http://www.thecompassstore.com/howtouseyour.html A compass needle points to the magnetic north pole which is not the same as true or geographic north. The difference between magnetic and true north is called magnetic declination. The declination value depends on your actual location on the Earth. Over time, as the Earths magnetic field shifts, the declination values also shift. Maps are drawn with true north at the top edge. When using a compass to navigate or locate objects, you must adjust the readings to account for the angular difference between true north ( ) and magnetic north (MN). The declination value is marked on topographical maps as shown in the following figure:

RT System 2 v2.3.0 182 Deployment Guide R01.b 2010-2013 Wireless Seismic, Inc. All rights reserved. Draft F. Using a Compass Figure F2 Declination Indication on Map However, because of the dynamic nature of the Earths magnetic field, old maps are inaccurate. To obtain the most recent declination values, enter your map location at the following link:

http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/#declination CAUTION Placing magnetic objects near a compass can cause an incorrect reading

(deviation). Examples include:

Objects that contain steel and iron such as pocket knives, belt buckles, vehicles, railroad tracks, and ore deposits in the Earth Objects that use magnets such as stereo speakers Electrical current in cables and overhead lines To locate an object using a map and a compass:

1 Place the long edge of the compass baseplate on the map, connecting the desired start and end points. For example, the start point could be where you are standing [A], and the end point [B] is where you want to locate the backhaul mast. The Direction of Travel arrow should point towards the end point (mast location). 2 While holding the compass on the map, turn the Degree Dial until the Meridian /

Orienting Lines are parallel with the Meridian lines on the map. This is the same as turning the Degree Dial until the Orienting Arrow points to north on the map. R01.b RT System 2 v2.3.0 Deployment Guide 183 2010-2013 Wireless Seismic, Inc. All rights reserved. Draft F. Using a Compass Figure F3 Compass and Map 3 Adjust for declination. If you have an adjustable compass Move the Orienting Arrow to the right or left by the declination number. When you align the magnetic needle with the Orienting Arrow, the declination is accounted for. If you do not have an adjustable compass Mark the declination on your compass with a piece of tape. Align the magnetic needle with the tape mark. Adjust the Orienting Arrow to the left or right. For example:

For a declination of 0, no adjustment is necessary. For a declination of 9 (9 degrees East), move the Orienting Arrow (or place a tape mark) to the right 9 degrees. For a declination of -9 (9 degrees West), move the Orienting Arrow (or place a tape mark) to the left 9 degrees. 184 RT System 2 v2.3.0 Deployment Guide R01.b 2010-2013 Wireless Seismic, Inc.

Using a Compass Figure F4 Compass Adjusted for Declination 4 Pick up the compass and adjust the cover so the angle of the cover to the base is between 45 and 70 degrees. 5 Hold the base of the compass in the palm of your hand. Keep the compass level. Turn your entire body and the compass until the red end of the Magnetic Needle is aligned with the red end (north end) of Orienting Arrow. Figure F5 Compass Adjusted for Declination 6 While holding the compass at eye level, keep the compass level and align your destination with the sight notch on the top of the case. 7 Ensure that the sighting line in the mirror passes through the center of the compass wheel.
