Page 3: Overview
Access5830™ User Manual Overview This manual covers basic configuration and installation of the Access5830 Wireless Broadband System and applies to the following radio part numbers: M5830S-AP-60 Access Point with internal sectoral patch antenna M5830S-SU Subscriber Unit with internal patch antenna Note: The installation of the M5830S-SU requires professional installation due to FCC limits on output power settings when using the 5.3 GHz U-NII band.

10 Mbps with a range of 10 miles or beyond depending on antenna configuration. The Access5830 is unique in that it can operate in either the 5.8 GHz ISM band or the 5.3 GHz U-NII band.
Page 5: Ethernet And Serial Ports
The Access5830 is an “AP-Centric” system. One of the major advantages of the Access5830 system is the ability of the AP to handle multiple SU connections and share the 10 Mbps data throughput very efficiently. Bandwidth allocation is managed by the AP’s SMARTPolling algorithm according to provisioning rules set up by the...
Page 6 Access5830™ User Manual When power is first applied to a properly installed SU, it will scan all the channels in its scantable, searching for an AP that is sending transmit grants for this particular SU. The SU will then stop on that channel and respond to the AP using maximum RF power.
Page 7: Getting Started
Access5830™ User Manual Getting Started First unpack your AP and at least one SU. It is recommended that novice users first provision and test the radios on the bench before deploying in the field. Connections and Power Note: Connection and powering of radios is the same for AP’s and SU’s.
Page 8: Basic Configuration
Opmode Concept Before logging on to a radio, it is important to understand the “opmode” concept of the Access5830. AP’s can be in one of two opmodes; “OFF” opmode, or “AP” opmode. When in “OFF” opmode the radio is not radiating RF energy, and it is not attempting to associate with SU’s.

Page 14: Su System Information
Access5830™ User Manual SU System Information Logon to the SU (while it is in opmode “OFF”) and to receive a comprehensive snapshot of the system’s configuration info and status, type the command sysinfo. Many of these parameters can be changed by the user. A description of each of these parameters, along with related commands are shown in the table below.
Page 15 Access5830™ User Manual SU SYSINFO PARAMETERS AND RELATED COMMANDS Parameter Description Related CLI Command Opmode Start Determines the amount of time set default opmode <time (secs)> the radio will remain in opmode OFF after reboot before progressing to the default opmode.
Page 16: Establishing A Wireless Link
At this point the SU will reboot itself and proceed into its “SU” opmode. If the two radios are generally aligned, authentication and SU association will occur. Association Concept (AP to SU communications) The Access5830 uses the concept of “association” to indicate that AP’s and SU’s are communicating.
Page 17: Basic Diagnostics
Access5830™ User Manual The amber light on the bottom of the SU should be lit, either steadily, or blinking, to indicate that the AP and SU have successfully associated. A steady light indicates strong signal strength. A blinking light indicates less signal strength. If no amber light appears, then the AP and SU are not associated Basic Diagnostics In establishing the link between AP and SU(s), there are a few commands which are especially useful.

AP will send 20 large packets to the SU and the SU will in turn send the same 20 packets back to the AP. The expected result of an error free link is 20..20..20, indicating (in the following sequence) 20 packets sent from...
Page 19: Site Selection
Access5830™ User Manual Site Selection Proper site selection for your AP will help ensure a successful deployment. Site selection will depend on a wide variety of factors, but from the radio’s performance standpoint, please consider the following: • Path from AP to SU should provide unobstructed line-of-sight, thus it is advisable to place AP as high as possible on a tall building or tower.
Page 20: Installation
Both AP’s and SU’s are equipped with a universal mounting bracket that can be used for wall or pole installations. See diagram below from proper use of the mounting bracket. Mounting of the Access5830 AP and SU 20.00 ° UP/DOWN TILT MAX INVERTED BRACKET .50"...
Page 21: Su Installation And Antenna Alignment
Access5830™ User Manual Grounding Proper mounting of the radio includes consideration for grounding. Please note that if the radio is attached to a metal pole which is earth-grounded, no other grounding is necessary. If the radio is not earth-grounded via the mounting bracket, you must attach a grounding wire to the grounding stud on the back of the radio as per the adjacent diagram.
Page 22: Link Test
Managing your Access5830 Network Network Setup The Access5830 is an “AP”centric system, meaning that the AP controls most functions of its associated SU’s. For this reason it is important to consider that you will manage your Access5830 system management primarily through the AP.
Page 23: Telnetting Into Remote Su
Managing AP from SU side of Network As a security feature, the Access5830 was designed to prevent users on the SU side of the network from accessing the AP via telnet or HTTP interface. If it is necessary for network administrators to access an AP from the SU side of the network the user must first telnet into a router located behind the AP –...
