E5MDS-MERCODU3Wireless 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 wire- less 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. The outward appearance of the standard SU is very similar to the BS. 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 additional 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 Wi-Fi service, depending on order requirements. If Wi-Fi 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) 1.2Weatherproof Subscriber Unit In addition to the Standard Subscriber Unit, a weatherproof Out- door Unit (ODU) model is offered (see Figure 2). The ODU is designed for mounting on a tower, pole, or other elevated struc- ture, and includes an integral panel antenna. DC power is typically applied to the ODU through a Category 5 Ethernet cable (Cat. 5E, Cat. 6 also acceptable) which provides Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) service. The cable can be up to 100 meters in length (328 feet). For non-PoE models, a separate DC power cable is required to supply 10-65 Vdc. Invisible place holder Figure 2. Mercury ODU Subscriber Unit All operating parameters and commands for the ODU are identical to those of the indoor SU. The only difference is in the physical installation of the hardware on its support structure. There are three main requirements for installing all units in the transceiver system—adequate and stable primary power, a good antenna system, and the correct interface between the transceiver and the data device. Figure 3 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 3.

Figure 4 shows the mounting dimensions of the unit. Mount the radio to a stable sur- face. (Fasteners not supplied.) Invisible place holder Figure 4. Transceiver Mounting Dimensions (Dimensions for BS and SU identical) 2.1.2 Step 1b—Mount the ODU (if applicable) The ODU is a one-piece unit with an integrated, dual polararized panel antenna. It measures approximately 27 cm wide X 27 cm deep X 8 cm high. Using the bracket on the back of the unit, mount the ODU securely to a tower, pole or other stable surface that provides a clear path in the direction of the associated Base Station. 2.1.3 Step 2—Install the Antenna (Non-ODU models) BS 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. 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. 2.1.4 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 50 watts. ODUs, except for non-PoE units, receive power over the Ethernet cable. Power cabling for ODUs must be properly secured to the support structure the unit is mounted on. In addition, the ODU’s ground post must be connected to a low impedance Earth ground. For other models, a power connector with screw-terminals is pro- vided 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 neg- ative 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. 2.1.5 Step 4—Review the Transceiver’s Configuration One setting must be known before beginning configuration on a unit; The IP address.

Page 1 of 1 Elliott TCB 41039 Boyce Road Fremont, CA. 94538 To whom it may concern: The enclosed documents constitute a formal submittal and application for Equipment Authorization for a wireless broadband service transmitter GE MDS LLC MERCURY 3650 OUTDOOR SUBSCRIBER pursuant to the following rules: Subpart Z of Part 90 of FCC Rules (CFR 47) RSS 197 Wireless Broadband Access Equipment (3650-3700 MHz) The Mercury 3650 radio operates as a 2x2 spacial-multiplexing radio in the 3650-3700 MHz frequency band. It employs a restricted contention based protocol. The use of a restricted contention based protocol limits the frequency range to 3650-3675 MHz per Subpart Z of Part 90 of the FCC rules. For Canada, the restricted contention based protocol limits use of the upper part of the allocated band from 3675 – 3700 MHz to use in low population areas per SRSP 303.65. Elliott Laboratories, as duly authorized agent prepared this submittal. A copy of the letter of our appointment as agent is included with the application. If there are any questions or if further information is needed, please contact Elliott Laboratories for assistance. Sincerely, David W. Bare Chief Engineer DWB/dmg
