Chapter 2. Overview Subscriber Equipment PacketWave 200 Series subscriber equipment consists of a main Outdoor Unit (ODU) and a small indoor Interface Box, as shown in Figure 2-2. Outdoor Unit (ODU) Power Supply Interface Box Figure 2-2 PacketWave 200 Series Subscriber Equipment Outdoor Unit The outdoor portion of the subscriber equipment consists of a single unit, approximately 9 inches square, containing the radio, antenna, and bridge/router. Different versions support various frequency bands: • 2.
Chapter 2. Overview The ODU antennas are directional, with a beam width of 17° to 20° horizontally and vertically depending on frequency. The width of this beam, combined with the width of the base station antenna beam (90° or 60°), means that only rough alignment of the antenna is needed for establishing a wireless link, though accurate alignment is important for maximum signal quality.
Chapter 2. Overview Management, Configuration, and Diagnostics The PacketWave 200 includes a number of features which provide management, configuration, and diagnostic functions. They range from LEDs to a Web-based graphical user interface, and include: • LEDs — LED indicators on the Outdoor Unit and Interface Box show status of the LAN and wireless interfaces as well as power to the unit. • Audio Auto-Alignment - Simplifies antenna.
Chapter 2. Overview Built-In Server, Client, Agent, and Router Functions Servers, agent/client, and router functions are built into PacketWave 200: • DHCP Client — All PacketWave Series 200 models include a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client for local address management by the Base Station Unit’s assigned DHCP server. • DHCP Server — PacketWave 220 and 230 models include a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for local address management.
Chapter 2. Overview SNMP Each PacketWave 200 includes an SNMP agent supporting the following MIBs: • SNMP MIB (RFC 1157) • MIB II (RFC 1213) • Aperto private MIB The complete MIBs are provided on the PacketWave CD, and are available on the Aperto Web site, www.apertonet.com. SNMP can be used to read configuration, status, and performance data from Subscriber Units.
Chapter 2. Overview 10004880 Rev.
Site Planning There are three basic site-planning issues which must be decided before you begin installation: • Location of the Interface Box. • Location and mounting method of the Outdoor Unit. • Cable path between the Interface Box and the Outdoor Unit. Location of the Interface Box Typically, the Interface Box is located near the subscribers hub or computer. However, the Ethernet cable to the local computer or hub can be up to 100 m (330 ft) in length.
Chapter 3. Site Planning • Accessibility — If possible, choose a location that is relatively accessible, which will simplify installation and any adjustment or repair in the future. • Mounting method — The Outdoor Unit’s standard mounting bracket supports mounting on a pole that is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) or 2 inches (5.1 cm) in diameter. For other mounting options (under an eave or on a chimney, for example), mounting hardware may be adapted or replaced as necessary.
