ARCXTEND 5.8 GHZ USER MANUAL – R1.0, ISSUE 1

Set up and verify the Hub’s wireless interface

)Referring to the Arcwave MIB page of the user interface:

• Set the Downstream Air Frequency.

• Set Select Downstream Power level the appropriate setting:

a. High for use with AX1455-SM-90, AX1455-SM-60, and AX1455-VM-90 Model

Hubs operating with 64 QAM downstream modulation and links greater than

¼ mile.

b. Medium for use with all model Hubs operating with 256 QAM downstream

modulation and 64 QAM modulation with links less than or equal to ¼ mile.

c. Low for use with all model Hubs at links less than 500 feet.

Note: The “High” power setting is for use with the AX1455-SM-90, AX1455-SM-60 and AX1455-

VM-90 Network Hubs. Use of the “High” power setting with the AX1455-SM-25 cancels the FCC

certification and voids the user’s authority to operate the unit in the 5.8 GHz band.

• Verify that Downstream Enable and Upstream Enable are set to true.

If the Cable Interface Control is enabled and the ECM is operational, the Upstream

Attenuation level is set automatically based on the upstream transmit power level of the

ECM. If the ECM is not operation, then the Upstream Attenuation level must be set

manually. A good starting point is 30 dB.

• Verify that Downstream Lock and Upstream Lock are set to true.

Set the Hub Management Mode

)Referring to the Administration table on the Maintenance page and Arcwave MIB page of

the user interface:

1. Enter Title, if desired, otherwise it defaults to the MAC address of the ECM.

2. Choose the method for managing the Hub by setting the Select Control Mode:

• If Control via HTTP is chosen, then the Hub can be managed remotely over the

cable network or locally using the Ethernet port and the HTTP-based user

interface.

• If the Control via SNMP is chosen, then the Hub can be managed remotely over

the cable network using SNMP.

3. Set the Alarm Destination IP address, id desired.

CPE installation

)Install the mounting hardawre (e.g. non-penetrating roof mount, eaves mount) and wiring

per the manufacturer’s recommended procedures and in accordance with the National

Electric Code and local ordinances.
