E5MDS-MERCMIMO3Wireless Data Transceiver

05-6301A01, Rev. 01MDS Mercury Series Quick Start1 MDS Mercury Series Setup Guide MDS Mercury TM Series transceivers provide an easy-to-install wireless network service with long range and secure operation at adaptive data rates approaching 30 Mbps. The transceiver is designed for demanding applications in industrial environments, where reliability and range are paramount. The transceiver comes in two primary models—Base Station (BS) and Subscriber Unit (SU), each with unique hardware profiles. Both models support Ethernet and serial services. A BS is a wireless switch that usually provides connectivity into a wired Ethernet LAN/WAN. Subscriber Units associate over the air with a BS and are typically connected to an Ethernet or Serial device via a local cable. NOTE:To determine whether a unit is an BS or Subscriber Unit, check the dome label on the top of the unit. Refer to the Mercury Series Technical Manual (05-6302A01) for advanced procedures and cautionary information. 1.1Connectors & Indicators Figure 1 shows the connectors and indicators of a Standard BS. These items are referenced in the installation and operation steps that follow. Note that SU radios may have an additional connector present for WiFi service, depending on order requirements. If WiFi is not provided on an SU, the GPS connector will also be absent. Invisible place holder Figure 1. Connectors and Indicators (Standard BS shown; SU Similar) There are three main requirements for installing the transceiver— adequate and stable primary power, a good antenna system, and the correct interface between the transceiver and the data device. Figure 2 shows a typical Mercury installation. 2.1Installation Steps Listed below are the basic steps for installation. It is highly recom- mended that the BS be installed first so that you can quickly check the operation of each associated SU as it is placed on the air. Invisible place holder Figure 2. Typical Mercury Installation (SU Shown; BS Similar) 2.1.1 Step 1—Mount the Transceiver Use the supplied 6-32 x 1/4 inch (6 mm) screws to attach the mounting brackets to the bottom of the radio. Figure 3 shows the mounting dimensions of the unit. Mount the radio to a stable sur- face. (Fasteners not supplied.) Invisible place holder Figure 3. Transceiver Mounting Dimensions (Dimensions for BS and SU identical) 2.1.2 Step 2—Install the Antenna Base units typically use sector antennas, while SU’s typically use a directional panel antenna. All antennas should be mounted in the clear to a sturdy support. Connect the antenna’s feedline cable to the transceiver’s WiMAX Antenna Port. To minimize RF interfer- ence, the antenna should be at least 9 inches (> 23 cm) away from connected device(s), sensors and other external components. 1.0INTRODUCTION 2.0INSTALLATION            !"# $    %& ' %& '                   !"!#!!  $  %"  $ "%  & '((&)'( *+#   $ " " &, #-./.)0) &--,#&*+#    " "   % )*-& *#&1!#+"!/ 2-# ! 1 #&"!/ 2.75 ̋ (7 cm) 8 5/8 ̋ (21.8 cm) 2MDS Mercury Series Quick Start05-6301A01, Rev. 01 Install GPS Antenna (if required) Install the GPS antenna in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Connect it to the GPS Port on the unit’s front panel. 2.1.3 Step 3—Measure & Connect DC Power The DC input to the transceiver must be within 10–60 Vdc and capable of continuously providing at least 150 watts. A power con- nector with screw-terminals is provided with each unit. Strip the wire leads to 6 mm (1/4 inch). Be sure to observe proper polarity with the positive lead (+) on the left, and the negative on the right. The unit is designed for use in negative ground systems only. The power supply should be equipped with overload protection (NEC Class 2), to protect against a short circuit between its output ter- minals and the radio’s power connector. NOTE:It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to fully power up, and a few minutes to associate with another unit, espe- cially if GPS is required for time synchronization. 2.1.4 Step 4—Review the Transceiver’s Configuration One key setting must be known before beginning configuration: •IP Address—Must be a unique address to allow for IP access through the LAN port or over-the-air. Check with your System Administrator for this information. (Default address is 192.168.1.1) Other parameters commonly needing review or adjustment are listed below, followed by Log-in and Configuration procedures. •RF Output Power Level (BS Only)—Check and adjust as necessary for compliance with regulatory limits. (Default power is +30 dBm for 1800 model, +23 dBm for 3650 model.) Note that Subscriber Units auto-adjust power output based on target receive signal level (set at the BS). •Password—Used for remote access and Menu System. •Frequency—Operating frequency in MHz. •TDD Sync Mode (BS only)—Selections are: Free Run and GPS Required. Free Run allows rapid configuration and initial testing. GPS Required synchronizes the BS’s transmissions to the GPS timing. GPS Required is only needed to synchronize multiple Base Stations. NOTE:The default password and username is admin. A unique IP address and subnet are required to access the Menu System, either through the LAN port, or remotely over-the-air. Log-in and Configuration Procedure The following is an overview of the local log-in and configuration procedure using the COM1 serial port. a.Connect a computer’s serial port to the unit’s COM1 Port. b.Launch a terminal communication program, such as HyperTerminal, on the computer. Configure it to: 115,200 bps/8N1/no handshaking/VT100. c.Press ENTER. A login prompt is displayed that requires a username and password. d.Enter the username and password. e.Review other settings and make changes as necessary, such as the unit passwo…

175 Science Parkway, Rochester, New York 14620 USA (585) 242-9600 Phone (585) 242-9620 Fax May 17th, 2010 Applicant: GE MDS LLC. Product: MERCURY3650-MIMO Dear Sir/Madam, Elliott TCB 684 W. Maude Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94085 Mercury 3650 Contention protocol: Referencing document FCC-07-99A1, Paragraph 34 describes unrestricted and restricted contention-based protocols, respectively: “Those contention protocols that we refer to as unrestricted protocols are broadly compatible and function to prevent interference even with other, dissimilar contention technologies on the market.” and “On the other hand, restricted contention protocols can prevent interference only with other devices incorporating the same protocol.” The Mercury 3650 employs WiMAX scheduling that is categorized as a restricted contention protocol. The WiMAX contention protocol used in the Mercury 3650 allows for coordination to avoid interference with other WiMAX operators, but does not provide the ability to prevent interference to other spectrum users employing alternate interference technology. The MDS Mercury 3650 employs an IEEE 802.16D WiMAX chipset for the media access control and modem. The WiMAX protocol standard provides a point-to- multipoint channel access scheme that is controlled by the base station. The MDS Mercury 3650 uses Time Division Duplex causing the downlink to operate for part of the time and the uplink to operate for part of the time. The base station to subscriber station communications, also known as the downlink, is controlled entirely by the base station. In the uplink, the subscriber station uses contention opportunities scheduled by the base station to request an allocation of bandwidth for sending payload data. The base station answers these requests by providing bandwidth grants. If a subscriber station does not receive a bandwidth grant within an interval of time it will resubmit its request on its next contention opportunity. If the subscriber station continues to not get a bandwidth grant it will discard the payload frame. Contentions are resolved using a truncated binary exponential backoff. The base station controls both the initial and maximum backoff windows. When contending, the subscriber station randomly chooses a number of deferred contention opportunities before transmitting. The Mercury 3650 allows the installer to configure an Approved Access Point list that contains the MAC addresses of desired AP radios in the network. When an Access Point sends scheduling data to the Mercury 3650 remote, the remote compares the MAC Address of the AP to this approved MAC address list, and discards the scheduling information if it has originated from a foreign network. This allows coexistence with co- channel WiMAX networks with minimal interference.
