Page 74 Basic Software Configuration THIS IS AN INCOMPLETE DRAFT. This chapter describes the mandatory basic software configuration procedures for the WaveACCESS NET CU232. Other parameters can be configured in order to change the default values in the CU232, if necessary, using either the system configurator or a BootP server with TFTP capabilities.
Page 75 Basic Software Configuration System Configuration Requirements The list below provides the requirements for configuring the system: PC computer, 486 66 MHz or higher, with at least 16 MB of memory and a 100 MB hard disk. Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95 or Windows 98. A PC with an Ethernet connection situated on the same network as the units that are to be configured.
Page 76 Basic Software Configuration Accessing the Configurator Software The Configurator software is accessed using the icon on the Windows desktop or the Windows Start menu. The Wave Access NET window enables you to change many of the WaveACCESS NET unit’s definable parameters, for example, the unit’s IP address and ESS-ID number.
Page 77 Basic Software Configuration Specifying the Unit’s IP Address All units come with a default IP address, namely 192.168.1.100. The Configurator software enables you to specify an unique new IP address for the WaveACCESS NET unit using BootP. This is essential since units on the same network cannot have the same IP address.
Page 78 Basic Software Configuration Defining the ESS-ID The Configurator software enables you to define the ESS-ID number of the WaveACCESS NET unit. To define the ESS-ID: 1. From the Configuration menu in the WaveACCESS NET window, select Host ID. The Host ID Configuration dialog is displayed.
Page 79 Basic Software Configuration 2. In the ESS number field specify the ESS-ID number of the unit. The default ESS-ID value for the CU232, MDR232 and SDR232 is 5266. This option can be used to change the network identification. NOTE: For the MDR232/SDR232 unit to be able to synchronize with the CU232, all the units must have the same ESS-ID number.
Page 80 WaveACCESS NET 2400 Antennas THIS IS AN INCOMPLETE DRAFT. Both the WaveACCESS NET CU232 and the WaveACCESS NET xDR232 remote units have an embedded antenna.

External Omnidirectional Antennas, page 7-3. Antenna Options and Specifications, page 7-4. Internal Sector Panel Antenna The CU232 is equipped with an internal sector panel antenna which enables the coverage of several wide angle sectors.
Page 82 WaveACCESS NET 2400 Antennas External Omnidirectional Antennas The omnidirectional dipole antennas available for use with the WaveACCESS NET CU232 are intended for external mounting and should be used when full 360° coverage is desired. When these antennas are mounted on a mast, they should be located as high as possible in order to avoid any other object being located beside it.
Page 83 (see the minimum cable segment length in the table on page XXX). It is assumed that the remote end (WaveACCESS NET SDR232 or WaveACCESS NET MDR232) uses its largest antenna, PG24, and the shortest permitted cable.

WaveACCESS NET 2400 Antennas Antenna Alignment This section provides a basic guide for aligning antennas for a high gain link. It also explains the basics of link budget calculation, as follows: Antenna Placement and Alignment, page 7-12. Calculating the Link, page 7-15. Calculating the Antenna Elevation Angle, page 7-16.
Page 92 WaveACCESS NET 2400 Antennas Boundaries The boundaries are defined by calculating the coverage range of the antenna, based on antenna beamwidth and gain specifications. Basically, the boundaries of the antennas used at a central site must be compatible with the area you need to cover. Keep in mind that the higher the gain, the narrower the beamwidth.
Page 93 WaveACCESS NET 2400 Antennas Fresnel Zones When positioning the antennas, you need to ensure that there is line of sight between the central site antennas and the remote unit. Most importantly, the first Fresnel zone must be clear. The following diagram illustrates how to calculate the Fresnel zone: antenna antenna height of...
Page 94 WaveACCESS NET 2400 Antennas Calculating the Link To calculate the link, the following basic data is required: Distance between the two points. Height difference between the two points. If the height difference is larger than the antenna vertical beamwidth allows, it will affect the elevation setting of the antenna. Type of antenna being used (i.e., gain and beamwidth).

Page 97 WaveACCESS NET 2400 Antennas Setting the Azimuth Alignment The next step in setting up the link is the azimuth (or horizontal) alignment. In order to do this, you must achieve as accurate a direction as possible from one antenna to the other. This can be done using a good map or GPS system that can give accurate coordinates and point you in the right direction.
Page 98 WaveACCESS NET 2400 Antennas 5. Return the antenna to the highest peak previously achieved and lock it in place, using the correct tools. NOTE: If a signal cannot be received from the other system, and/or the units do not synchronize, even though there should be enough fade margin for the link, you need to move the antenna at a lower speed.
Page 99 WaveACCESS NET 2400 Antennas Software for Antenna Alignment Calculations Since WaveACCESS NET systems in the ISM band use frequency hopping, a special feature has been included to help with the installation of high gain point-to-point links. This software utility is capable of: Limiting transmission to one frequency only.

The CU232 and xDR232 enclosure and the I/O cable shielding must be properly grounded in order to provide protection against lightning, surges, and static buildup.
Page 103 Appendix A: Lightning Protection Why is Lightening Protection Required? The need for protection is influenced by the Network or Service Provider’s assessment of the importance of the WaveACCESS NET element. This includes the following: Likelihood of lightning strikes. Cost of a Lightning Protection System (LPS). Cost of a voided warranty and the replacement of system elements.
Page 104 Appendix A: Lightning Protection Methods of Lightning Protection The best method to use to reduce the risk of lightning strikes is avoidance. The CU232 and xDR232 must be mounted within a zone of protection, namely, the 45 lightning protection cones provided by the building structure, or an existing LPS.
Page 105 Appendix A: Lightning Protection Figure A-2 shows the typical zones of protection on a tower. Z on e of Pro tection Figure A-2 Typical Zones of Protection on a Tower If the CU232 and/or xDR232 cannot be mounted within a zone of protection, an LPS must be introduced or extended to provide a new zone of protection for the CU232 and/or xDR232, as shown in Figure A-2, Tower B.
Page 106 Appendix A: Lightning Protection A braided wire is typically used to ground the CU232 or xDR232 to the structure’s main grounding point. The existing LPS is also connected to the same point. The grounding point for the CU232 is located on the right side of the mounting bracket. GROUNDING STUD Figure A-3 CU232 Grounding Stud Location...
Page 107 Appendix A: Lightning Protection The grounding point for the xDR232 is a threaded stud on the bracket, as shown in Figure A-4. GROUNDING STUD Figure A-4 xDR232 Bracket and Grounding Stud Location The bare, non-insulated drain lead of the I/O cable, which includes the 10Base-T wires and power leads, must be connected to the ground terminal (green-colored) on the plug-in terminal block on the CU232 or xDR232.
