1.0 Pre-Installation Planning Backhaul Link Planning The DN200 supports fixed point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless links. A single point to point link can be used to connect a remote site to a larger core network. Multiple point to point links can provide a way to connect widespread Ethernet LANs, and provide a high capacity backhaul.

Under ideal deployment conditions (line of sight, low interference, and low atmospheric moisture), the DN200 can provide a high-speed connection using a high gain 5 GHz antenna. The range depends on the type of antenna, the frequency and mode of operation used. The maximum data rate for a link decreases as the operating range increases.
Proper alignment helps to maximize throughput. Ensure, the antennas are aligned to the main lobes and not mis-aligned to side lobes. The link will give reduced SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) and be unstable. DN200 User Manual Rel 1.0...
Ethernet Cabling When a suitable antenna location has been determined, you must plan a cable route from the DN200 wireless device outdoors to the equipment indoors. If a power injector/adapter module is used, it is for indoor installation only.

Home and then click Reboot. The unit takes about 60 secs to reboot. Make sure your Laptop/PC is on the same subnet as the DN200 Ethernet. If unsure, ask your network administrator. The Configuration tab also sets up the radio interfaces. The GUI automatically picks up the radio interfaces and will display their current settings on the page.

1.5.2 LAN Port (Power over Ethernet) There are two Gigabit Ethernet ports available on the DN200. The ports 1 and 2 can be used as PoE in or PoE out depending on the variant ordered. There are three possible set ups 1.
30W. In such a mode the DN200 cannot power any cameras or accessories. To summarize the PoE configurations, the DN200 can either be used as a PoE IN (accept PoE) or a PoE OUT (power devices using the DN200) mode. This mode needs to defined during the order process so...
Multicast Control Multicast servers and clients can be on any of the DN200 interfaces. To provision multicast rules, the source and destination of the stream and the multicast address on which the stream flows needs to be identified. The screen below shows a typical multicast configuration.
1.10 DHCP Configuration The DN200 can be configured as a controller less Mesh Point Portal [MPP] or a controller based Mesh Point [MP]. When configured as MPP, DHCP addresses are allocated by the MPP. The DHCP Directives in the main configuration screen drive the behavior of the unit. Normally, the DHCP server running on the network manager serves all the clients connecting to the units within a block.

In the example above, DHCP server running on 192.168.1.71 serves addresses to all clients associating to the AP. If the DN200 is an MPP (example below), the MPP allocates addresses to clients attaching on all interfaces. DN200 User Manual Rel 1.0...
The DN200 Outdoor Wireless Access Point has been designed to be deployed outdoors, operate in extreme heat or sun, rain, snow, ice, cold and be mounted on a wall, pole, or mast. The DN200 is supplied complete with its own mounting hardware kit for attaching the unit to a 1-2.5” diameter metal pole or tube or as part of a radio mast or tower structure.

Make sure that the square shoulders on the carriage bolts line up with the square holes in the clamps. 2. Place the clamps on the backside of the DN200 so that the bolt heads sit in the dimples (see Figure 2)

Figure 2. Clamp Placement on the DN200 3. Screw the clamp to the DN200 using a socket cap screw. Use a lock washer under the screw head and then a flat washer against the clamp. The provided hex key may be used to tighten the screw.
4. Place the DN200 against the pole and thread on the remaining clamp pieces, followed by flat washers, lock washers and wing nuts. Tighten the wing nuts just enough to securely hold the DN200 to the pole (do not over tighten).
0 dB means a power ratio of 1 to 1 or 1:1 Because the dB is a ratio, it is dimensionless, however many times reference is made to the unit that is made as a ratio. DN200 User Manual Rel 1.0...
Connect a Grounding Wire to the DN200 Provide Earth ground to the DN200 wing nut/stud. Use a wire gauge and color that complies with local electrical codes. It is recommended that the wire be securely fastened to a weather resistant ring terminal before attaching it to the DN200.

This may be used to power the DN200, or the customer may provide their own (see below for requirements). 1.17.1 DN200 Standard configuration, no internal POE board Use a 48VDC 60W or greater external supply to the 12-48V connector on the DN200.
1.17.3 Wiring an external supply. The DN200 is supplied with a power supply. If you wish to use your own supply, wire the supply using the DC plug provided with the DN200. A cable with a weather resistant jacket should be used, with a diameter that provides a tight fit with the connector’s boot.
1.19 Antenna Alignment After the DN200 units have been mounted, connected, and their radios are operating, the antennas must be accurately aligned to ensure optimum performance on the wireless links. This alignment process is particularly important for long-range point-to-point links. In a point-to-multipoint configuration the DN200 uses an Omni-directional or sector antenna, which does not require alignment.

Power Over Ethernet The DN200 Outdoor Wireless Access Point/router supports Power Over Ethernet (POE), and can be used to power up to two PoE devices, as long as power restrictions are met.
