  • Page 6: Introduction

    The purpose of this manual is to walk the reader through the steps to connect and program Intuicom Broadband family of products. Intuicom no longer provides a CD with the software on it. Instead users are asked to go to our website to download the software.

  • Page 7: Connecting Broadband Radios

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Connecting Broadband Radios Intuicom BX products are shipped with a Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector and power supply to power the radio. The Axiom products are 802.3af/at compliant and can be powered by an 802.3af/at switch or by PoE Injector which is 802.3af/at compatible. Intuicom provides an 802.3af/at injector with the Axiom products.

  • Page 8: Bbx Connections

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ BBX Connections Intuicom manufactures the BBX product line in three broadband frequencies, the 2.4GHz spectrum, the 5.8GHz spectrum and for the Public Safety Band 4.9GHz licensed spectrum. If you have purchased an integrated, standalone, or dual unit for use in any of the above spectrums, the...

  • Page 9: Axiom Connections

    Just like the BBX product line, the Axiom product line comes in 5.8, 2.4, and 4.9GHz radios, and it also comes in single and dual radio units. The connection overview for the various models of Intuicom’s Axiom product line will be very similar to the diagram below.

  • Page 10: Poe Injectors

    802.3af/at switches and injectors put out up to 30Watts of power. These standards are backwards compatible where 802.3af/at will power 802.3af devices. The following is a list of the PoE standards that will power Intuicom products. 802.3af – 15 Watts 802.3af/at –...

  • Page 11: Bbx Poe Injector Information

    BBX PoE Injector Information Intuicom BBX product line uses a Passive PoE injector. These injectors put out power on different pins in the RJ45 connector than the IEEE 802.3af/at standard. This means that a BBX Passive injector will not power an Axiom product.

    Address of your PC to the same range as the radios. The default IP Address of all Intuicom BBX and Axiom products is 192.168.0.100, with a 255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask, and a 192.168.0.1 default Gateway. This means you will need to set the IP Address of the LAN Adapter on your computer to an address within the range of 192.168.0.X...

  • Page 16 Advanced Settings screen, the setting at the top left of the window is Protocol. The drop down contains five selections which are, 802.11, NV2, Nstreme, Any, and Unspecified. Intuicom does not recommend using Any, or Unspecified as a wireless protocol setting. It is recommended that a single protocol be used for wireless connectivity.

  • Page 22: Additional Information

    Section5: Additional Information ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Additional Information A few additional details that will make it easier for users to program Intuicom radios for the first time are covered here in this section. Band Settings In the main configuration window, the “Band” now has a drop down with different selections.

  • Page 24: Frequency Selections

    5805 which is are the available ranges for the 40MHz Above channel selection. NOTE: This does not apply to 4.9 and 2.4 GHz radios, as these spectrums only have one range. Intuicom Inc. Copyright Intuicom, Inc. 2019 4900 Nautilus Ct. North, Suite 100 Boulder, Colorado 80301...

  • Page 25: Data Rates

    802.11a data rates. These are the data rates that are used when the band selection is set to any setting that includes 5GHz-A band. Standard Intuicom setting still applies as we suggest to select all the Supported Rates and only the lowest basic rates as a good starting point.

  • Page 26: 5Ghz-N Data Rates

    N data rates menu will be available for programming. Intuicom recommends that all of the Supported Rates should be selected with only the lowest Basic Rate as a good starting point. If you are connecting N radios only together then Intuicom suggests unchecking all the 802.11a data rates for both Supported and Basic rates with the exception of the lowest setting for both.

  • Page 27: Additional N Data Rate Settings

    For high throughput wireless links always set this setting to 400. For highest throughput on the wireless link set Spatial Streams to 2, and Guard Interval to 400. Intuicom Inc. Copyright Intuicom, Inc. 2019 4900 Nautilus Ct. North, Suite 100 Boulder, Colorado 80301...

  • Page 29: Frequency Separation

    802.11n and 802.11ac radios, combined with new regulations allowing 802.11n channel widths in the 2.4GHz and 4.9GHz spectrums. The following is a list of new and legacy Intuicom products and the available channel widths for each. 802.11a Channel Widths 802.11n Channel Widths...

  • Page 30: 802.11A Frequency Selections

    Example: Selecting 5750 using 40MHz Above selection means that the vertical channel (Channel0) is using 5740-5760 for communications, and the horizontal channel (Channel1) is using from 5760- 5780. So, the radio is using from 5740-5780 for communications. Intuicom Inc. Copyright Intuicom, Inc. 2019 4900 Nautilus Ct. North, Suite 100 Boulder, Colorado 80301...

  • Page 31: 802.11N Radios And 2.4Ghz Frequency Seperation

    2457 runs from 2567-2427. This means both radios will be using the 2452-2427 portion of the spectrum and interfering with each other. Intuicom suggests using 5, 10, and 20MHz wide channel widths when deploying multiple 2.4GHz radios at a single location to ensure channel separation is achieved.

  • Page 32: 802.11N Radios And 4.9Ghz Frequency Seperation

    4980 runs from 4950-4990. This means that from 4980-4950 the radios will be interfering with each other. Again: Intuicom suggests using 5, 10, and 20MHz wide channel widths when deploying multiple 4.9GHz radios at a single location to ensure channel separation is achieved.
  • Page 33 As stated earlier, when the channel width is selected the frequency selection will change to reflect the available frequencies for that channel width. Intuicom Inc. Copyright Intuicom, Inc. 2019 4900 Nautilus Ct. North, Suite 100 Boulder, Colorado 80301...

  • Page 34: Link Optimization

    However, typically Intuicom has run a link analysis on these installations and can provide the correct inclination and declination angles to align the radios. Typical steps to align two panel antennas follows below the diagram.

  • Page 35: Tx/Rx Rssi Readings

    -50 reading as possible, long links may require you to drop the channel width setting down to get as close to the optimum reading as possible. Intuicom Inc. Copyright Intuicom, Inc. 2019 4900 Nautilus Ct. North, Suite 100 Boulder, Colorado 80301...

  • Page 36: Ccq Reading

    Intuicom recommends the best channel width setting is the one that allows the signal strength reading as close to the -50dB reading as possible.
  • Page 37 5790, 5795, 5800, and 5805 are showing acceptable noise level or around -100 to - 110dB. NOTE: Typical noise floor is around -115dB – Between -100dB and -120dB or weaker. Intuicom Inc. Copyright Intuicom, Inc. 2019 4900 Nautilus Ct. North, Suite 100 Boulder, Colorado 80301...
  • Page 38 90-100 percent range, try deselecting one more data rate on both radios and see if that gets it up into the desired range. Intuicom Inc. Copyright Intuicom, Inc. 2019 4900 Nautilus Ct. North, Suite 100 Boulder, Colorado 80301...
  • Page 39 CCQ. On the Axiom AC radios the best CCQ was obtained by matching the basic and supported data rates at the MCS0-7 setting. Intuicom Inc. Copyright Intuicom, Inc. 2019 4900 Nautilus Ct. North, Suite 100 Boulder, Colorado 80301...
