Chapter--Installation Topic--Required Computer Equipment and Software Figure 1-1 Back Panel of the Series 4000 Router WARNING: Before you apply power to the AirTegrity Router, be USB and RS232 ports are sure that the antenna (or a 50 ohm part of the front panel. dummy load) is attached to the RF connector(s). -
Page 13: Install The Ethernet Cabling
Chapter--Installation Topic--Install the Ethernet Cabling – Terminal Emulation Program (for example, Hyperterminal or Vicomsoft) is recommended to allow you to access the AOS CLI commands and other CLI administrative interfaces of the Series 4000 Router. The WebUI provides all the functionality of AOS CLI with the exception of the unit’s BIOS options. - Page 14 Chapter--Installation Topic--Settings - Control Panel • Web browser • Ethernet cables with the proper connectors • Two free Ethernet ports that connect to your LAN - one for the Router and one for your PC. Complete the following steps: Connect your PC to your Ethernet LAN. Connect the Series 4000 Router to your Ethernet LAN.

Continue with the AOS CLI and WebUI Reference Guide and the AirTegrity Wireless Router Application Guide (included in the User Documentation CD) for configuration instructions. Connecting to the Series 4000 Router through the RS232 Serial Console Use a DB9 =>... - Page 16 Chapter--Installation Topic--Installation Caution - READ THIS SECTION • As a wireless product requiring antenna installation, the antenna alignment is critical to operation of the unit. An unqualified or inexperienced person would not be able to perform antenna alignment. For example, they would need to know the exact location of the Base Station when installing a CPE device and they would experience in estimating the effect of obstructions, distance and weather.

Page 18: Understanding Radio Frequency Transmission Power Values
Understanding Radio Frequency Transmission Power Values The goal of this appendix is to familiarize the reader with basic technology concepts and terms involved in wireless communications specific to AirTegrity products. The topics to be covered include • Additive and subtractive effect by system components on the overall system. •... - Page 19 Appendix--Understanding Radio Frequency Transmission Power Values Topic--decibel For example: Power (in dB) = 10 * log10 (Signal/Reference) Where: • Signal is the power of the signal from the RF transmitter • (for example 50 mW) • Reference is the reference power •...

Page 21: Estimating Cable Loss
Appendix--Understanding Radio Frequency Transmission Power Values Topic--Estimating Cable Loss The table above clearly shows the logarithmic effect of the increase of dBm against the respective mW power. For example: If 0dB = 1mW, then 14dB = 25mW. If 0dB = 1mW, then 10dB = 10mW, and 20dB = 100mW. Subtract 3dB from 100 mw to drop the power by half (17dB = 50mW), then subtract 3dB again to drop the power by 50% yet again (14dB = 25mW.) Note... -
Page 22: Gain
Appendix--Understanding Radio Frequency Transmission Power Values Topic--sectoral The primary classes of antenna are based on their three-dimensional radiation patterns: sectoral, omni-directional and directional. In addition, there are some 24 specific physical types antennas grouped into 6 categories. (Detailed descriptions of the physical types or categories is beyond the scope of this document.) For reference the 6 categories are: •... -
Page 23: Effective Isotropic Radiated Power
Appendix--Understanding Radio Frequency Transmission Power Values Topic--Effective Isotropic Radiated Power Effective Isotropic Radiated Power The radiated (transmitted) power is rated in either dBm or watts. Power coming off an antenna is measured as Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP). EIRP is the value that regulatory agencies such as the FCC or European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) use to determine and measure power limits in applications such as 2.4 GHz wireless equipment. -

Page 25: Maximum Power Levels And Permitted Channels In Regulatory Domains
Maximum Power Levels and Permitted Channels in Regulatory Domains This appendix contains the maximum power levels and radio channels permitted by various regulatory domains. Specifications for IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b systems are presented. Links to the table in this appendix follow: •... -
Page 26: Maximum Power
Appendix--Maximum Power Levels and Permitted Channels in Regulatory Domains Topic--Maximum Power The following table shows the maximum power levels and antenna gains allowed for each IEEE 802.11b regulatory domain. The maximum power level is specified in equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP). An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in EIRP above the amount allowed per regulatory domain. -
