Figure 1 EUM3005 Indoor Modem
The EUM3005 has new features that provide improved RF performance as well as ease of
installation and extended temperature range. The RF performance is enhanced due to the
improved transmit power.
Hardware and software improvements make installation easier than ever, allowing rapid
deployment, single person installation, and even end-user self-installation. These
improvements include alignment tools, and Automatic Remote Configuration of key
parameters using DHCP and RADIUS. The Automatic Remote Configuration also allows the
network operator to easily manage and reconfigure the EUM3005 after it is installed, including
changing frequency, passwords, and SNMP parameters.
Key features of the EUM3005 include:
• Easy Indoor Installation - The EUM3005 is an indoor unit, but with an extended
temperature range of -40º C to 50º C. The EUM3005 can work in uninhabited indoor
locations, such as attics, if there is an adequate RF signal. The advantages of an
indoor unit with extended temperature range and an indoor antenna include:
• More flexible installations.
• An easily mounted antenna, designed for indoor use.
• No long RF cable runs.
• Lower installation costs, since the modem can be installed by the end-user.
• Active diversity indoor antenna - There are many advantages to the EUM3005’s
active diversity indoor antenna:
• Reduced RF losses since there are no long cable runs.
• Active diversity, which is done on a packet by packet basis, so that the
EUM3005 performs better in a multi-path fading environment.
• Easy mounting and positioning antenna, using a wall, window, window frame,
or other surface.
• Higher RF Power

- As a result of changes to the FCC rules, the EUM3005 can
provide higher output power. Previous indoor modems were limited to 26 dBm PEAK
power at their antenna port. The EUM3005 provides 27.3 dBm PEAK power.
