1: Introduction
• Integrated, high-gain, active diversity antenna - There are many advantages to the
EUM3006’s integrated antenna:
• Integrated, so that there are no RF losses due to long cable runs.
• High-gain, so that the EUM3006 can generate the maximum RF signal
allowed by FCC and increase the overall operating range.
• Active diversity, which is done on a packet by packet basis, so that the
EUM3006 performs better in a multi-path fading environment.
• Polarization diversity, so that the installer need not worry about what
polarization the CCU is. Sector polarization can be readily changed at the
base stations, with the EUMs automatically adjusting.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE)- The EUM3006 is powered by standard 48 VDC Power
over Ethernet (802.3af Mode B compatible). Since the antenna is integrated, there is
no need for an RF cable. With PoE, there is no need for a separate power and
Ethernet cable. So the EUM3006 has only one standard, unshielded, flexible CAT-5E
cable, making installation simpler.
• 48 VDC PoE - Using 48 VDC power allows the EUM3006 to have up to 100 m of
Ethernet cable to the end-user’s PC, which is the maximum by the Ethernet standard.
The PoE injector can be located anywhere along this 100 m of cable. This provides
great flexibility in placing the EUM3006 to get the best RF signal.
• Improved RX Sensitivity - Each EUM3006 is tested to ensure that its RX Sensitivity
is -89 dBm or better (average received signal).
• DHCP Client enabled (factory default)- The EUM3006 can obtain its IP address,
subnet mask and IP gateway information from a DHCP server, reducing the amount of
configuration needed for installation. This also allows the Network Operator to re-
assign IP addresses to EUMs without having to access the EUM itself.
• Auto CCU Discovery (factory default) - The EUM3006 searches the full RF
frequency range to locate CCUs. It then selects the CCU with the best RF signal that
allows it to register. With this and DCHP Client enabled (factory defaults), the installer
does not need to enter ANY configuration parameters into the EUM3006 in order to
install it.
• Automatic Remote Configuration - The EUM3006 will accept parameters from a
RADIUS server to set other configurable parameters in the modem. These
parameters include: password, all SNMP parameters, RF Frequency (including
enabling Auto CCU Discovery), and number of customers.
• Secure Authentication and User Data Encryption: The EUM3006 can perform
mutual authentication with the CCU using the secure 4-way handshake mechanism of
WPA2. All user data flowing over the air can be encrypted using the industry standard
IEEE802.11 TKIP cypher. Traffic to and from each EUM is encrypted using a key
specific to that EUM, ensuring message integrity and privacy for each user.
• Installation Tools - The EUM3006 has two new tools to make installation and
alignment easy and error-free.
• MDB1000 - This hand-held, battery-powered device displays detailed key
signal quality information to allow the EUM3006 to be located and aligned to
the best RF signal possible by a single installer. The MDB1000 can be in any
position to provide easy viewing.
• SETUP Menu - The EUM3006 supports the local link IP address,
169.254.10.250, on its Ethernet port at all times. Using the local-link address,
the user can use the password “setup” to call up the setup menu that allows
