Overview The V290iA is a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) device used to provide wireless communications at remote locations as part of a Vyyo wireless network. The V290iA provides remote connectivity for SCADA and IP devices. The V290iA consists of three major components, integrated into a single chassis: A Vyyo wireless modem, used for communicating over the Vyyo wireless network.
Physical and Functional Description The V290iA is comprised of a Vyyo V284 RF modem and a Cisco 3200-series router, integrated into a single housing. This housing is designed for easy mounting on a wall or pole in the remote location.
Figure 3: Vyyo V290iA bottom view Interfaces The following interfaces are available in the V290iA: Six DB-9 serial ports – Four serial ports are available to connect serial devices such as SCADA devices. Two ports serve as console ports: one for the Cisco router (MARC), and one for the Power and Control Card.
The Ethernet and Serial interfaces use a rugged design to protect the interface pins. The interface panel is located on the bottom of the V290iA when it is mounted in the standard way, and the RF antenna connection is on the top.
2 Physical and Functional Description Power The V290iA supports an input voltage of 48VDC (36-72 VDC), with 5A input current protection. The V290iA has a manageable Power and Control Card, providing power to the different units, such as the Cisco cards, the V284+A card, and the temperature...

(IP address, subnet mask and more) from the DHCP server. Note: The description of how the Cisco router establishes IP connectivity, applies to the V290iA default Cisco setting. The customer may change the Cisco setting to a fixed IP address, or any other IP addressing method supported by the Cisco IOS.
Installing the V290iA The V290iA is designed to be installed on a wall, pole, or shelf. This section describes all the steps required for installation. For instructions on installing the antenna, refer to the appropriate guide. An antenna must be installed by a professional following all safety precautions.
Four SST LOCK 1/4 washers. Four SST LOCK 3/8 washers. Mounting the V290iA The V290iA can be mounted on a wall, a pole, or a shelf. In wall mounting, the interface panel faces down, and the main mounting bracket faces to the rear.
Chapter 3 Installing the V290iA Wall Mounting To mount the V290iA on a wall: 1. Orient the device so that the main mounting bracket (refer to Figure 3) faces the wall and the interface panel faces down. 2. Attach the device to the wall using the enclosed mounting screws.
Perform the following cable connections (refer to Figure 6): 1. Connect the Flat Panel or Yagi antenna to the V290iA UHF connector. 2. Optionally connect the WiFi antenna to the V290iA’s WiFi connector, located on the top of the V290iA chassis.
Connect the Power cable. Initial Operation The V290iA starts operating as soon as power is connected. If you turned off the external power switch prior to connecting the power cable, turn it ON. The front panel LEDs behave as described in Interface Panel LEDs on page 29. If the behavior of the LEDs deviates from standard, refer to Troubleshooting on page 33.
Configuring the V290iA The V290iA comes with a standard configuration on delivery, and requires minimal, if any, additional configuration to operate normally. The V290iA uses the embedded Cisco 3200-series router to enable IP routing and bridging functionality, and can be configured to provide additional services beyond those provided by the standard configuration.

Router# SCADA Traffic Configuration The V290iA optionally interfaces with asynchronous SCADA devices via serial ports Ser0 – Ser3. This section illustrates how to transmit SCADA traffic using TCP encapsulation over Telnet tunneling. Telnet Tunneling Telnet Tunneling protocol uses the TCP protocol to deliver raw data between serial ports.

Maintenance The V290iA is designed for high reliability and requires only limited maintenance. This chapter describes the behavior of the V290iA LEDs during normal operation. In the event of device functionality issues, refer to Troubleshooting on page 33. Interface Panel LEDs The following figure shows the LEDs on the V290iA’s interface panel.
Blinks green when packets are transmitted or received. Ethernet port) WiFi LEDs Operation As shown in Figure 8, the V290iA front panel includes three WiFi LEDs: Ethernet (E), Status (S), and Radio (RF). These LEDs are used in combination to determine overall V290iA device status.
Upgrading the V284 Software To upgrade the V284: 1. Ensure that the latest release of the V290iA software is loaded on a laptop which is running a TFTF server (pumpkin). 2. Make sure the TFTP server (pumpkin) is activated, and set to permit access to the directory in which the software package is located.
