    Ethernet CAT-5E cable. Federal Communications Commission The EUM3006 has been designed and manufactured to comply with FCC Part 15. Operators must be familiar with the requirements of the FCC Part 15 Regulations prior to operating any link using this equipment. For installations outside the United States, contact local authorities for applicable regulations.
  • Page 13 Interference Environment on page xiii. The EUM3006 with its integrated antenna complies with these requirements, since the maximum average transmitting power is 25.8 dBm measured at the internal antenna port which is not accessible to the user. This is 4.2 dB below the maximum allowed, so the integrated, high-gain, active diversity antenna is allowed to provide an additional 4.2 dB gain...

Do not place the EUM3006 and PoE Injector in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. The EUM3006 has an outdoor temperature rating, so it can handle a much larger range of temperatures than the APCD-LM048-1.1...

Do not locate the EUM3006 in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits. When installing outdoors, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

    These manuals, as well as manuals for hardware elements, including EUMs and CCUs, can be found on WaveRider’s Web site (http://www.waverider.com). Other documents on the WaveRider web site are useful to assist in installing and operating the EUM3006. For example, you can find information on which roof and wall mounting brackets are recommended.

    Easy Outdoor Installation - The EUM3006 is tested to meet ETSI 300-019 environmental standards for outdoor installations, with an extended temperature range of -40º C to 50º C plus solar loading. The EUM3006 can also work in uninhabited indoor locations, such as attics, if there is an adequate RF signal. The advantages of an integrated outdoor unit include: •...
  • Page 21 • 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.

  • Page 22: Eum3006 - End-User Modem Or Customer Premises Equipment

    The EUM3006 antenna is a high gain, active diversity antenna that ensures that the EUM3006 output power is at the maximum allowed by the FCC. The active diversity feature selects the best signal from horizontal and vertical polarizations on a per packet received basis.

  • Page 23: Ethernet Port

    The integrated antenna has a front-to-back ratio of more than 15 dB, which helps to suppress interference. 1.3.3 Ethernet Port The EUM3006 has a 10BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 connector at the end of 25 feet of CAT-5e outdoor Ethernet cable. This makes installation much easy and robust, since this length is APCD-LM048-1.1...

    The MDB1000 comes with a belt clip and two velcro straps, a short one to attach the MDB1000 to your wrist or forearm and a longer one to attach to the EUM3006 itself or the pole mount. So long as the MDB1000 is within 4 inches of the EUM3006, it picks up the magnetic signal sent by the EUM3006.

    2: MDB1000 It is recommended that the batteries be tested before starting the installation. Keeping a spare set of batteries with the installation tools may save you a trip down ladders, etc. to get new batteries. The AA batteries fit into the MDB1000 by removing the battery cover at the back of MDB1000, removing the old batteries, and inserting the new ones.

  • Page 28: Turning The Mdb1000 Off

    Turning the MDB1000 Off The MDB1000 automatically shuts off if it is out of range of the EUM3006 for more than 60 seconds. You can tell if the MDB1000 is out of range, since the MODEM LED will go out as well as all of the signal performance indicator LEDs.

  • Page 29: Table 1 Mdb1000 Signal Strength Foms

    These 5 LEDs have two interpretations, depending on the state of the EUM3006 if the MODEM LED is on. 1. A rotating pattern of LEDs shows that the EUM3006 is in Auto CCU Discovery mode. 2. When a CCU has been found, the Signal Quality LEDs indicate the figure of merit for a blend of quality indicators, including the carrier phase error and the signal to noise ratios for each antenna pattern.

The EUM3006 mounts to a vertical pole with a diameter between 1 and 3.0 inches.

    If for some reason this is not acceptable, then the EUM3006 must be configured with its radio frequency. The easiest installation uses the EUM3006 factory defaults, so that the modem will gets all its IP address information from DHCP and its RF Frequency from the Auto CCU Discovery feature.

    • If the signal levels are weak, the EUM3006 may need to be located on the roof and eventually on a pole above the roof that has good line of sight to the CCU. If you have no idea what signal levels are expected at your site, it is suggested that you climb to a high point (e.g.

  • Page 43: Mounting The Eum3006

    Once a good location for the modem has been selected, you need to provide a pole or pipe to which the EUM3006 can be attached. This can be any pole from 1” to 3.0” diameter. If the pole is vertical, it is easy to rotate (pan) the modem for the final alignment. The longitudinal axis must be vertical or horizontal only.
  • Page 44 Ensure that the modem will not rotate around the pole when reasonable force is applied. Avoid pressing on the radome, push on the cast base instead. Provide a drip-loop for Ethernet cable and grounding conductor from EUM3006 to pole (see Figure 5 Figure 6).

    4: Installation 4.3.5 Connecting the End-User’s PC There are many ways to connect the EUM3006 to the end-user’s PC, using Ethernet switches, IP routers, etc. The discussion below is for the simplest, most direct method of connection, using the provided PoE Injector.

  • Page 49: Testing The Data Link

    This test verifies that the end-user’s PC is communicating with the EUM3006 and provides insight into the state of the RF link. This test is recommended even if the modem was aligned using the MDB1000, since it provides more details on the state of the modem and what CCU(s) it has located.
  • Page 50 4: Installation Ping the EUM Note that the EUM3006 may be on a different sub-net than the end-user’s PC, so pinging the IP address assigned to the EUM3006 will go through the CCU. Therefore, we ping the EUM3006 using the local link IP address as the 1st test.

  • Page 52 4: Installation NOTE: If this test fails with the long packets, but pinging the Gateway with the default packet size succeeds, then the connection is working but is not operating at maximum capacity, possibly due to poor antenna placement or orientation, poor signal levels, and/ or interference.

    Minimum = 68ms, Maximum = 76ms, Average = 71ms Post-Installation Once a good link between the CCU and the EUM3006 has been established, the configuration can be completed automatically using the Automatic Remote Configuration feature with a RADIUS Server and database in which the EUM3006 information has been entered. The network operator must update the RADIUS database for the new modem.
