1: Overview Casing Description The S1100w electronics are enclosed in a weather-tight cast aluminum module. All cable entries are mounted on the underside of the module to maintain its weatherproof properties. The front panel integrates one bicolor visual indicator that illustrates the operational state of the device.
System and RF Planning To allow optimal configuration, you must properly plan your network, especially RF (radio frequency) and configuration layout.
2: System and RF Planning Frequency Bands and Channels The S1100w supports communications in the following frequency bands, in North America and Europe: 2.4 GHz OFDM, also known as 802.11g 4.9 GHz OFDM, a public safety band available in North America only 5 GHz OFDM, also known as 802.11a 2.4 GHz Band The 2.4 GHz band provides 11 channels in North America and 13 in Europe. In these two regions, only channels 1, 6, and 11 are independent (that is, non-overlapping).
Nextiva S1100w User Guide The available channels are: Channel 3 6 7 7 8 9 10 11 11 12 13 16 Frequency (GHz) 4.9425 4.9475 4.9525 4.950 4.9575 4.9625 4.9675 4.9725 4.970 4.9775 4.9825 4.9875 Channel 5 MHz 5 MHz 5 MHz or 20 MHz 5 MHz 5 MHz or 5 MHz 5 MHz or 20 MHz 5 MHz 5 MHz or 5 MHz width 10 MHz 10 MHz 10 MHz 10 MHz 5 GHz Band In the 5 GHz band, the number of available channels and sub-bands vary depending on the country of operation.
2: System and RF Planning Wireless Cells A wireless network is designed such that information can travel back and forth between two points without the need for wires. For the S1100w, this information consists of digitized video, audio, and PTZ data sent to and from the wired network via an outdoor wireless access point—either the Nextiva S3100 device or a commercial 802.11 access point.
Nextiva S1100w User Guide The supported authentication methods for WPA and WPA2 are: Method PSK—Pre-Shared Key (personal) EAP-TLS (Enterprise) EAP-TTLS (Enterprise) PEAP (Enterprise) Authentication means passphrase login/password and certificate login/password and certificate login/password and certificate Remarks Designed for home and small office networks. A passphrase is required to connect to an access point and therefore access the network. Uses mutual authentication.
2: System and RF Planning Point-to-Multipoint Application A point-to-multipoint application is a wireless cell made up of an S3100 access point (the master) and several S1100w transmitters (the clients). Here is a typical point-to-multipoint system: S1100w S3100 For example, to associate three S1100w devices to one access point, you need to: 1. Assign the same wireless passkey to the S1100w devices and the S3100 access point.
Nextiva S1100w User Guide For example, consider the following setup: S1100w 1 S3100 3 S3100 2 S3100 1 S1100w 2 You should update the devices in the following order: 1. S1100w 1—You then lose contact with S1100w 1. 2. S1100w 2—You then lose contact with S1100w 2. 3. S3100 1—You can then reach all devices. 4. S3100 2—You then lose contact will all devices except master S3100 3. 5. S3100 3—You can then reach all devices.

Nextiva S1100w User Guide DFS To follow the DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) regulations specified by ETSI for the selected country, it is the master S3100 device that performs the tasks relative to frequency channel selection and radar detection. In other words, you cannot choose the frequency channel on which the edge device will run. The automatic selection of the frequency channel limits the number and the configuration of the wireless cells.
2: System and RF Planning Distance Limitations The distance limitations between devices are: The minimum distance between two devices is 3 feet (1 meter), regardless of the band or channel used. To avoid material damages, you must never power any two devices while their antennas are facing one another with a distance of less than 10 feet (3 meters). If using adjacent channels, see page 65 for the recommendations on the minimum distances to respect.
Nextiva S1100w User Guide This application can be illustrated this way, where the three cells are in the same location: C B A 5 GHz Band in North America and 2.4 GHz In the 2.4 GHz band in North America and Europe, you can use the three independent channels (channels 1, 6, and 11) to colocate wireless cells. In the 5 GHz band, all channels are independent. A typical colocation example is three wireless cells. To install such a system, you have to: 1.
2: System and RF Planning This application can be illustrated this way, where the three cells are in the same location: B C A 5 GHz Band in Europe The maximum number of colocated cells corresponds to the number of channels in the available frequency bands that can be used outdoors. For instance, in most countries of Western Europe, you can have up to 11 colocated cells in the 5.40–5.725 GHz band.
Nextiva S1100w User Guide Supported Setups The following colocated systems are supported in the 5.40–5.725 GHz band: Two access point applications, in which the transmitters from one system do not see the transmitters from the other cell. Both master devices see each other. S3100 S3100 A point-to-multipoint repeater. Both master devices see each other.
2: System and RF Planning RF Planning Successful operation of a wireless link depends on proper RF path planning and antenna installation. You have to install the devices in such a way that there is a clear RF line of sight between the two antennas. Location Evaluation The path between the two antennas must be free of obstacles that could disturb propagation. For very short link distances—less than 500 feet (152 meters)—you may be able to establish a working link despite partial path obstruction.
Nextiva S1100w User Guide A common problem encountered in the field and related to the 0.6 F1 clearance rule is building obstruction. The proposed visual path may just barely clear a building but the RF line of sight will not. In such a case, the signal will be partially absorbed and diffracted. Increasing the height of the two antennas or the gain of the antennas are the only alternatives to improve the link quality. Note: At 2.4, 4.9, and 5 GHz, radio waves are highly attenuated by dense foliage.
2: System and RF Planning Interference In most countries, the 2.4 GHz band is not regulated by a government agency; this absence of frequency coordination can result in interference between various systems. For instance, if a link with an RF line of sight is subject to excessive video delay and very low frame rate (or possibly breakdown of video images), it could be due to interference.

DHCP Support and APIPA DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows devices and computers connected to a network to automatically get a valid IP configuration from a dedicated server. The APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) scheme, available on the Windows operating systems, enables a device to assign itself a temporary IP address.
C: DHCP Support and APIPA At startup, an edge device searches for a valid IP network configuration. The device requires this configuration prior to starting its functions. The network configuration for Nextiva devices consists of: An IP address A subnet mask A gateway The device first looks in its local memory. If no configuration is found, it tries to contact a DHCP server.
DTE and DCE Connections Before connecting a Nextiva edge device to other RS-232 serial equipment, you need to determine if they are DTE (data terminal equipment) or DCE (data communication equipment).
D: DTE and DCE Connections In the following descriptions: Voltage is measured when no data is transferred on the Rx and Tx pins. -X volts represents a negative voltage value.
Nextiva S1100w User Guide Connecting DTE and DCE When connecting two modules of the same type, you have to cross the data wires to create proper communication. On the other hand, when connecting a DTE with a DCE, a straight cable is required.

Surge Protection Voltage and current surges can be induced by lightning strikes or power line transients. In the real world, under the right circumstances, these surges can reach sufficiently high levels to damage almost any electronic equipment. Therefore you need to add protection to your devices.
E: Surge Protection The S1100w provides basic surge protection on all electrical lines. If you are installing the equipment in a lightning prone or heavy lightning environment, or in a site where large AC mains power fluctuations are a common occurrence, Verint strongly recommends that you add additional external surge protection to all vulnerable connections. Vulnerable connections are those that run for a long distance between the S1100w device and the connected equipment.
Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels Wireless interference can occur between wireless cells using adjacent frequency channels (for example, channels 149 and 153 in the 5 GHz band). Therefore, it is preferable to avoid using adjacent channels. However, if your setup requires you to, you must follow specific guidelines regarding minimum distances between antennas and signal level margin. Note: In the 2.
F: Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels If using adjacent frequency channels in a non-DFS environment, you should respect guidelines relative to the minimum separation between device antennas, to avoid interference. To reduce radio interference possibilities between two adjacent channels, you should ensure that the maximum margin between the emission of the two wireless cells is 25 dB. To meet this objective, perform a site survey and apply minimum distance guidelines.
Nextiva S1100w User Guide To calculate the emission margin between two adjacent wireless cells: 1. Open SConfigurator, then go to the Units tab. 2. Select the master device in the wireless cell you are adding, then click Telnet. 3. From the main menu of the command line interface (CLI), choose Advanced > Communication Status and Statistics > Wireless Status, then press Enter. 4. For a thorough scan, specify 60 site survey iterations. 5. Start the site survey operation.
F: Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels 6. When the survey is complete, visualize the report. For example: Devices found on channel 3 Devices found on channel 6 Device name Signal level This report provides the signal levels between device A1 and the other five devices in the network. B2 B3 A2 -75 -60 -70 -75 B1 A1 -45 Cell B A3 Cell A The lowest signal in Cell A is -75 (S1) and the highest signal in Cell B is -45 (S2). The result of S2 - S1 (-45 - -75) is 30.
Nextiva S1100w User Guide Minimum Distances To respect the 25 dB margin between two adjacent channels, in addition to performing a site survey, you can use guidelines relative to minimum distances between the wireless devices. By respecting them, you can assume that there will not be radio interference between the devices.
F: Separation Between Devices Using Adjacent Channels The following deployment scenarios respect these limitations: Using only 5 GHz channels, all on the same side of a building: 5.8 GHz 165 5.3 GHz 56 5.8 GHz 157 5.3 GHz 64 5.8 GHz 149 3 feet (1m) each 5.3 GHz 52 5.8 GHz 161 5.3 GHz 60 5.8 GHz 153 43 feet (13m) Notice that the devices using the adjacent channels 52 and 56 are separated by the prescribed 43 feet (13m).
Nextiva S1100w User Guide Using 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz channels, all on the same side of a building: 2.4 GHz 6 5.3 GHz 5.8 GHz 5.3 GHz 5.8 GHz 2.4 GHz 5.8 GHz 60 5.8 GHz 52 157 5.3 GHz 149 2.4 GHz 1 165 5.3 GHz 5.8 GHz 153 161 64 56 11 3 feet (1m) each 43 feet (13m) 56 feet (17m) The devices using the adjacent channels 6 and 11 in the 2.4 GHz are separated by the prescribed 56 feet (17m).

DFS and False Radar Detection Nextiva wireless devices operating in the European Union must adhere to the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) standard; this standard forces any RF transmitter to change frequency channels if radar activity is detected on the current operating channel. If two colocated wireless cells are communicating on adjacent channels, it is possible that the interference between the two systems causes false radar detections. This side-effect is a well-known industry-wide problem.
G: DFS and False Radar Detection To avoid false radar detection caused by an adjacent channel, the signal level of an potential interfering device on the first adjacent channel must not exceed -50 dB, -36 dB on the second channel, and -32 dB on the third channel; for example, if you use channel 100, 104 is the first adjacent channel, 108 the second channel, and 112 is the third channel.

Compliance To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. Note: The S1100w devices require professional installation. They should be installed in a location that would prevent the general population from approaching from 3 feet (1 meter) of the radiating element. USA The FCC IDs are VKHCM9S1100S3100 and NKRDCMA82.
