SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Version 3.03 Using the Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for CPE Routers5-3 •Interface Type: Select the CPE from the Interface Type drop-down list. When finished, click Apply. This will tell the configurator that you are in CPE mode. •Network Name: The type of network for the wireless or fixed router. •Enable Forwarding: Select the Enable Forwarding option to enable the forwarding of IP packets from the wired interface to the wireless interface and vice-versa. •Disable Forwarding: Select the Disable Forwarding option to disable the forwarding of IP packets from the wired interface to the wireless interface and vice-versa. •Apply: Click after making changes. Base Station Information To see if a CPE is connected to the base station, choose Base Station Info from the Network menu. The following page will appear. Note: If there is no connection to the base station, a message will appear confirming that the CPE is not connected to the base station. Figure 5-2: Base Station Information (for CPE mode) Version 3.03 SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide 5-4Using the Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for CPE Routers Authentication Normally, the CPE routers must prove their authenticity with a base station before participating in the star network. One way to do this is to set a common pass on both the CPE router and on the base station. Use this page (Authentication Settings) to set a pass phrase for a CPE router. You are only required to do this once, unless the pass phrase on the base station changes. Just make sure that the password is kept in a safe place so it is not lost or stolen. All interfaces connected to the 9000 router are restricted to systems based on the authentic pass phrase (or password). Any interface that does not have the correct pass phrase will not be able to establish a data connection. To authenticate a CPE, choose Authentication from the Network menu. The following page will appear. Figure 5-3: Authentication Settings for CPE page •Pass Phrase: Enter a pass phrase and confirm it like setting up a regular password. As shipped there would be a blank pass phrase and a base station authenticates CPE routers using the MAC address. If you want to use the Pass Phrase authentication, then you have to set matching pass phrases on a base SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Version 3.03 Using the Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for CPE Routers5-5 station and on a CPE. (Pass Phrases have a minimum of 8 characters and a maximum of 32 characters.) •Confirm: Enter the pass phrase again to ensure it is correct. Make sure you keep the pass phrase in a safe place. Wireless menu Choose Configuration from the Wireless menu and you will be able to choose one of the following: •If you click the Channel and Rates button, you will be able to select the channel and signaling rate of the interface. For more information, see Channel and Rates, page 5-6. •If you click the Tx Retries button, you will be able to set the Transmit Retry Limit and Signaling Rate Fallback. For more information, see Max Tx Retries and Signaling Rate Fallback, page 5-8. •If you click the Max Throughput button, you will be able to set the Max Transmit Data Rate in Kb/s. For more information, see Max Throughput (Regulating Bandwidth), page 5-10. Version 3.03 SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide 5-6Using the Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for CPE Routers Channel and Rates Figure 5-4: Channel and Rates page •Primary Firmware: This is the current primary firmware version in use by the wireless card. •Station Firmware: This is the current station firmware version in use by the wireless card. •Channel: This is the specific band of frequencies (from 1 to 11) to determine the data path between routers. All SPEEDLAN 9000 routers expected to communicate in a network must have the same channel (frequency). Select one of the following channels (all are represented in GHz) from the Channel drop-down list: 12.412 22.417 32.422 42.427 52.432 62.437 72.442 version: v SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Version 3.03 Using the Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for CPE Routers5-7 82.447 92.452 102.457 112.462 •Signaling Rate: This setting refers to the wireless signaling rate. The SPEEDLAN 9000 routers have four signaling rates that can be used. Select one of the following check boxes: •1 Mb/s: This setting limits the card by providing 1 Mb/s of bandwidth. The minimum receiver sensitivity of the radio with this setting is -92 dBm. •2 Mb/s: This setting limits the card by providing 2 Mb/s of bandwidth. The minimum receiver sensitivity of the radio with this setting is -89 dBm. •5.5 Mb/s: This setting limits the card to providing 5.5 Mb/s of bandwidth. The minimum receiver sensitivity of the radio with this setting is -88 dBm. •11 Mb/s: This is the full 11 Mb/s signaling rate. This value is recommended for most installations. The minimum receiver sensitivity of the radio with this setting is -85 dBm. Note: The network can automatically downgrade the bandwidth if needed (that is, if lower Mb/s settings are selected). Click Apply when finished. Version 3.03 SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide 5-8Using the Configurator to Set Up Special Parameters for CPE Routers Max Tx Retries and Signaling Rate Fallback This page includes two features: Max Tx Retries and Signaling Rate Fallback. On the figure below, Max Tx Retries is circled in red and Signaling Rate Fallback is circled in blue. The following page appears when the Tx Retries button is clicked: Figure 5-5: Tx Retries and Signaling Rate Fallback page Note: Click Apply to activate settings. Max Tx Retries Wave Wireless recommends that you use this parameter to increase the throughput of your wireless network.

Operational Description of Wireless Outdoor Mount Ethernet Bridge SPEEDLAN 9000 Series The outdoor wireless Ethernet bridge, FCC ID: NCBSL9101A and NSBSL9102A is a high performance bridge / router that create interconnectivity between buildings and providing links for LAN-to-LAN applications. This system can be used in star or mesh configutation. The functional block diagram of the bridge is presented on Figure 1. The outdoor wireless Ethernet bridges are installed on the pole or tower. The bridge containing 11 Mb/s MiniPCI Adapter, Embedded Processor and Voltage Regulator is enclosed in metal enclosure connected to the ground. The Ethernet data and DC supply voltage (18 to 36 Vdc) are injected through junction box and to up to 300 feet long Cat 5 Ethernet cable ( 2 pairs are used for DC voltage and other 2 for Ethernet data ) and connected to the bridge. Than DC voltage is separated and connected to Voltage Regulator and Ethernet data are processed and transferred to WaveLan transmitter which is connected to 8 dBi omni or 24 dBi grid antenna . If system is not transmitting it is in receiving mode. The received signal from antenna is amplified, processed, demodulated and through Cat 5 Ethernet cable connected to LAN system. Technical Specification of SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Bridge Radio Type: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) Frequency: 2400 – 2483.5 MHz (ISM Band) Channels: 11 Processing Gain: 11 dB (Nominal) Communication Method: Half-duplex Transmit Power: 15 dBm (Nominal) Receiver Sensivity: Max. –88 dBm (-80 at 11Mb/s) Bit Rate: 1 to 11 Mbit/sec Bit Error Rate: Better than 10E-5 Modulation: DBPSK at 1 Mbit/sec DQPSK at 2 Mbit/sec CCK at 5.5 and 11 Mbit/sec Spreading: 11 chip Barker sequence with chipping rate 1 Mbaud LAN Interface Compliance: IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Physical Interface: 10Base-T ,10/100Base-TX Ethernet Interface: 10 Mb/s Ethernet General: Power Supply: 18 to 36 Vdc 24 W Temperature Range: -40 to +70 C Humidity ( Non-immersion) 0 to 95 % Range: Up to 25 miles

This system uses the same components except for the mini PCI as the NCBSL9102. It uses only one type of antenna, a parabolic grill type that has a gain of 24dBi. WAVE WIRELESS NETWORKING purchases standard antennas from the manufacturer. The antenna is intended to be used outside. The NCBSL9102A radio uses a unique connector (reverse TNC).
