This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Only the following components are approved for use with the radio. • Power over Ethernet Mid-Span: PowerDsine 9001G-40/SP @2013 6Harmonics Inc. All Right Reserved... -
Page 6: Introduction
• OMNI Antenna SL15918A, 3.5 dBi Gain 4. Introduction The GWS-3000 radio modules are a wireless access solution which utilize the unlicensed TV Band, also known as “White Space Spectrum.” These radio’s are designed to provide high reliability, non line of sight (NLOS) point to point (PtP) or point to multi-point (PtMP) radio links at a very low cost of ownership. -

This User’s Manual is intended to provide guidance on what the Host Software does and how to use the Host Software to make the GWS node function properly. The GWS-3000 Host Software provides the following functionalities: a) Initialize host board and GWS-3000 radio; @2013 6Harmonics Inc. All Right Reserved... -

None Warning: This connection is for a professional installer which has been trained by 6Harmonics and can damage the module if performed improperly. This connection is used to burn the first image on the host board. The module is shipped with the latest software pre-loaded and this procedure should not need to be performed by the customer. -

The software will only allow the user to increase the power up to the limit allowed by the regulatory standard in a given market. For the GWS-3000 in the US, this is 20 dBm. -
Page 26: Getagcmode Command
AGC completely using the “setagcmode 0” command. The receiver of the GWS-3000 has been designed to sustain fairly high levels of interference and for the vast majority of deployments leaving the radio in “agcmode 2” (the default configuration) will provide good results. This information is purely to give our customers some insight and help them optimize network performance in the even that a node is subjected to very strong interference. -

8.1 Manual Power Control For small networks the user may prefer to perform the power control manually to have a good control over the interference and to balance the load between links. @2013 6Harmonics Inc. All Right Reserved... -
Page 28: Point To Point Link
Below is a description of how to perform power control manually using the GWS- 3000 user interface. 6Harmonics is currently developing a SON algorithm which will perform power control at the network level. This algorithm is not yet released but should become available sometime late in 2013 or early 2014. -

Ideally, the signal from all CPE’s should be received by the BTS at about -75 dBm. 8.1.2.1 Configure the link: • Telnet into the BTS and each of the CPE’s. • From the telnet session type “monitor” @2013 6Harmonics Inc. All Right Reserved... - Page 30 Furthermore, for some links it may not be possible to achieve an RSSI of -75 dBm, at which point the link should be set to transmit at the maximum permissible power to get the best RSSI and hence SNR. @2013 6Harmonics Inc.

Page 31: Automatic Power Control
Automatic Power Control 6Harmonics is in the process of developing and testing an automatic power control algorithm. This capability will be important for larger deployments and will be introduced later in 2013. The feature is not yet available. END OF DOCUMENT...
