Table 6 Installation Stage Checklist
Once the installation is complete and verified, the network operator can complete the Post-
installation Stage, using the Automatic Remote Configuration feature or manually over the air.
This is discussed in section 3.4, Post-Installation
3.2 Pre-Installation Steps
3.2.1 Network and EUM3005 Configuration
There are a number of steps that must be undertaken by the network operator before installing
an EUM3005. For more information, see the LMS4000 Data Networking Concepts, LMS4000
Radio Concepts and LMS4000 Managing the Network manuals on the WaveRider web-site.
1. CCU Authorization: Ensure that the EUM is authorized at one or more CCUs with the
appropriate Grade of Service.
2. IP Addresses: Configure a DHCP server to accept the new EUM3005’s request for
an IP address, if the modem has DHCP enabled (factory default). If not using DHCP,
then the EUM must be manually configured with the following settings:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP address
3. Frequency Assignment: If the Automatic CCU Discovery feature (factory default) is
used, then the EUM will search for the CCU upon power up. This is the recommended
approach. If for some reason this is not acceptable, then the EUM3005 must be
configured with its radio frequency.
Step Discussion
section 3.3.1, Locating the
EUM3005
Find the best location for mounting the EUM3005, with a
good RF signal and at least 1 foot away from where
people will stand.
section 3.3.2, Mounting and
Orienting the EUM3005
Antenna
The EUM3005 antenna mounts to a wall, window or
horizontal surface. Once a location with good signal
levels is found, optimize the signal by selecting the best
orientation of the antenna. Mount the antenna, using the
hardware provided.
section 3.3.3, Connecting
the End-User’s PC
Connect the modem to the end-user’s PC.
section 3.3.4, Testing the
Data Link
Confirm that the link is functioning correctly.
