This guide assumes administrator-level knowledge of IP networks and a familiarity with configuring wireless devices. SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 5 Overview SkyAccess DualBand is a dual-radio solution that combines SkyPilot’s long- range, high-capacity 5 GHz mesh backhaul with a high-powered 802.11b/g access point that lets service providers and municipalities offer standard Wi-Fi to subscribers. Features and benefits SkyAccess DualBand provides a highly flexible wireless solution that combines scalable Wi-Fi capacity with the seamless coverage of a wireless mesh network. Each SkyAccess DualBand can support multiple WLANs (wireless local area networks), each with its own VLAN and security policy. One SkyAccess DualBand can support several business models with a single service installation. About access point configuration The SkyAccess DualBand access point is set up to provide Wi-Fi access right out of the box. The access point includes a preconfigured WLAN with the SSID (service set identifier) SkyAccessDualBand, providing WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi protected access – pre-shared key) protection. Users attempting to connect to the SkyAccessDualBand WLAN must provide a password (publicpublic by default). The default configuration is provided for initial management and configuration of the SkyAccess DualBand access point via a wireless connection. You should always create a unique access point configuration before testing the device or making it available to customers. 1 SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 6 NOTE A wireless network protected by WPA-PSK is vulnerable. To provide a more secure level of protection, configure the WLAN for WPA authentication in which each user is authenticated separately. SkyPilot network topology SkyPilot Networks™ delivers a wirel…

SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 21 Optimizing location After powering on the SkyAccess DualBand, use the device’s LEDs to identify the optimal location for mounting—a location where it can easily acquire a signal from the wireless mesh network and quickly create links. Confirm signal acquisition ƒ Position the SkyAccess DualBand near the intended mounting location and watch the WAN Act LED for activity. The LED starts to blink when it has acquired a signal from the network and is attempting to set up a connection. If the WAN Act LED does not start blinking within 30 seconds, try changing the orientation of the SkyAccess DualBand or walk to a new location; then repeat the process until the LED begins blinking. When the LED starts blinking, make minor adjustments to find the location where the signal is strongest. (The faster the LED blinks, the stronger the signal.) When the WAN Act LED blinks steadily and at a high rate, you have an optimal signal. Go to the next section to verify the network connection. Verify network connection ƒ Watch the WAN Link LED for activity. Within approximately 90 seconds of locating a signal, the WAN Link LED should start to blink—first slowly, then more quickly. When the WAN Link LED is solid and the WAN Act LED is blinking, the SkyAccess DualBand has established an authorized connection to the network, indicating that the current location is suitable for mounting If both the WAN Act LED and the WAN Link LED continuing blinking, a signal is available but is not strong enough for reliable service. Keep trying different locations until you can confirm a network connection. SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 22 NOTE To optimize your SkyAccess DualBand installation, ask your network administrator (at the Network Operations Center) to measure signal strength on the node to which the SkyAccess DualBand has established a link. For more information on LED states, see Table 1. SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 23 Table 1. SkyAccess LED states LED LED state Device state LAN Link Steady illumination SkyAccess DualBand is connected to another device via its Ethernet port. LAN Act Blinking Device is transmitting or receiving data via its Ethernet port. PWR Steady illumination Device is powered on. WAN Link Blinking (fast blink when device is in standby mode) Device is attempting to establish an authorized connection on the wireless network. If both WAN Link and WAN Act continue to blink, the signal is not strong enough to support reliable service or there is a provisioning problem that’s preventing the device from coming online. Contact your network administrator. Steady illumination Device is connected to the wireless network. WAN Act None Device cannot detect a wireless network. Blinking Device is within the coverage area of a wireless network. Blink rate communicates signal strength: • Fast (8x per second) = excellent • Medium (4x per second) = good • Slow (<1x per second) = poor • None = no reception SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 24 Mounting the SkyAccess DualBand After determining an optimal location the SkyAccess DualBand can then be mounted in accordance with the procedure below. Before mounting the device, disconnect the CAT5 cable from the power injector to power down the device. 1 Connect the 2.4 GHz antenna. To provide Wi-Fi connectivity, the SkyAccess DualBand requires attachment of the 2.4 GHz antenna included with the device. Screw the antenna onto the standard N connector on the back of the SkyAccess DualBand. Figure 8. Attaching the 2.4 GHz antenna SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 25 2 Use the supplied clamps to secure the SkyAccess DualBand to the pole; then loop the Ethernet cable around the mounting pole and secure it with tie wraps. Figure 9. Securing the SkyAccess DualBand Tighten the bolts securely on the mounting hardware. 3 Reconnect the CAT5 cable to the port on the power injector to restore power to the SkyAccess DualBand. SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 26 Connecting to the wireless network After mounting the SkyAccess DualBand, set up a connection to the wireless network via a local computer or LAN. Once connected, a subscriber can use the wireless network to gain access to Internet services and applications. Connection to the SkyAccess DualBand is accomplished with Ethernet, or through the onboard access point to establish a wireless connection. Connect to the wireless network with Ethernet ƒ Connect the device to a computer or LAN (for a SkyAccess DualBand that’s providing Internet/WAN access to the mesh network). Connect a second Ethernet cable from the power injector port labeled “Computer” to a personal computer or router/data switch providing a connection to a LAN. SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 27 Figure 10. Connecting a SkyAccess DualBand to a computer Connect to the wireless network via a Wi- Fi connection 1 From a Wi-Fi/WPA-PSK capable computer within operating range of the access point, open the Network control panel and set up a wireless connection with the IP address 192.168.0.10 and Netmask 255.255.255.0. 2 From the Network Connection control panel choose the default SSID provided with the SkyAccess DualBand— “SkyAccessDualBand”. 3 At the password prompt, enter “publicpublic”. SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 28 Configuring the SkyAccess DualBand A SkyAccess DualBand requires two different configurations: a network configuration that allows it to operate on the wireless mesh network, and an access point configuration that allows the device to support local wireless connections via Wi-Fi. For information about configuring both the device and the access point, see the document “SkyPilot Network Administration”, available in electronic format from the SkyPilot website at www.skypilot.com/support/ . 4 SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand Installation 29 Accessing SkyAccess DualBand Command-Line Interfaces This appendix describes how to access the command-line interfaces that …

Introduction The SkyPilot Carrier-Class Broadband Wireless System supports an innovative architecture offering point-to-point, point-to- multipoint and mesh topologies. Automatic network discovery and connectivity allows an operator to quickly build a network offering high levels of coverage and redundancy. The system implements a sophisticated and flexible Layer 2 network. Rate control and packet prioritization enables multiple service offerings, including high-quality voice over IP (VoIP) support. Packet filtering combined with wireless link encryption provides very high levels of security. Full authentication and management of subscriber nodes is supported, with each network element providing an SNMP Agent and a Command Line Interface (CLI). Software images are upgraded over the air. This document provides a description of the SkyPilot system architecture and protocols. The hardware components are described along with details of network topologies and routing, spectral and link management, network-wide synchronization, quality of service, security provisions, and network management. System Components The SkyPilot Carrier-Class Broadband Wireless System has four hardware components that together support a highly flexible wireless network architecture: • SkyGateway The SkyGateway provides an interface between the wireless network and the Internet or other Local/Wide Area Network (LAN/WAN). The SkyGateway links directly to SkyExtenders and/or SkyConnectors as customer premises equipment (CPE) in point-to-point/multipoint configurations, or indirectly via multiple SkyExtender hops in a full mesh network topology. The SkyGateway has a compact, lightweight, fully integrated mechanical design with a 10/100Base-T interface and an integral GPS receiver to provide a highly accurate system timing source. • SkyExtender The SkyExtender enables a network operator to expand coverage and increase system capacity. The SkyExtender can link directly to a SkyGateway and/or one or more SkyExtenders and/or SkyConnectors. The SkyExtender hardware is identical to that of the SkyGateway, with the software image differentiating functionality. The 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface may be used to provide a subscriber interface, allowing the SkyExtender to perform double-duty as CPE that extends the network’s reach from the SkyGateway(s). • SkyExtender DualBand The SkyExtender DualBand has the same backhaul features as a SkyExtender, and adds an integral Wi-Fi access point to afford service providers with greater flexibility when deploying wireless access solutions in HotZones or HotRegions. As the name implies, the SkyExtender DualBand has separate radios for backhaul (at 5 GHz) and access (industry-standard IEEE 802.11b/g at 2.4 GHz). The separation of access from backhaul enables the use of multiple non-overlapping channels when deploying a “honeycomb” of Wi-Fi cells, thus enhancing throughput, subscriber density, network capacity and scalability. • SkyConnector The SkyConnector comes in both outdoor and indoor variants, and provides an interface between a subscriber and the wireless SkyPilot network. The link may be indirect via a SkyExtender or direct to a SkyGateway. The subscriber interface is standard 10/100Base-T Ethernet. The SkyConnector is fully integrated and houses a single antenna with a 28° horizontal cov…

Thanks, Claire Hoque -----Original Message----- From: Chris Harvey Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 12:16 PM To: Thu Chan Cc: Chris Harvey; Claire Hoque Subject: Skypilot Network Inc., FCC ID: RV7-SC4120 , Assessment NO.: AN08T7740-DTS, AN08T7741-NII, Notice#1 Dear Claire and Thu, You are listed as the Technical Contact for the above referenced TCB applications. The following items need to be resolved before the reviews can be continued: 1. The 2.4GHz RF Report states that this device is used for fixed point-to-point operation, but the point-to-point operation only applies to the 5.2GHz operation. The 2.4GHz may be point-to-multi-point, but the power limit should be adjusted by 1.4 dB since the 7.4dBi antenna is 1.4dB above 6dBi (this should not impact compliance). <answer>report is revised. 2. This device must be professionally installed since the 2.4GHz antenna connector is a standard connector (N). The installation guide must indicate that this device must be professionally installed. <answer>Please see attached updated installation manual that specifies professional installation. 3. The Theory of Operation indicates that the 2.4GHz and 5.2GHz radios can transmit simultaneously. This simultaneous transmission must be addressed in an MPE calculation for this fixed device. Please calculate the Power Densities at the minimum separation distance (20 cm or greater) and provide the worst case combined power density to ensure it is below the MPE Power Density Limit at that separation. Also, please note that MPE calculations should be performed to determine the Power density at a certain distance (20cm or greater) and not be used to determine separation distances less than 20cm (MPE does not apply at distances <20cm). <answer>report is revised. 2 4. The UNII report indicates that the Transmit Power Control (TPC) compliance information will be supplied in a separate document, but this document appears not to have been submitted. Please supply the TPC compliance documentation. <answer>TPC is attached. 5. The FCC Requires that applications for UNII devices include a declaration from the Grantee verifying that the device does not have Ad Hoc capabilities on non-US frequencies and on DFS frequencies. Please submit this Grantee declaration. <answer>Please see attached DFS Declaration. 6. The Theory of operation submitted with this application does not include any information for the 5.25-5.35 GHz band, which is the only band of operation for this device. The internal photos of this device show 2 radios installed and an external connector. Please confirm if this device will actually have 2 radios installed and will have an external RF Connector. If these are actually installed, please confirm that the 2nd radio is inactive and no RF will be provided to the external RF Connector. <answer>Client did not understand this question as the assembly is a dual-freq device. Consequently, this assembly will have two radios installed and will have an external RF connector. Please elaborate. 7. The Antenna Gain information in the antenna specification indicates that it is applicable to both the 5.2 and 5.8 GHz bands, but does not differentiate between the actual peak gains for these 2 distinct bands. Please submit band specific gain information for this antenna in the 5.25 - 5.35 GHz band. <answer>Please see attached antenna specification. 8. The Architecture and Protocol Guide does not contain any information about the 5.25-5.35GHz band. Please confirm if this exhibit is the appropriate exhibit for this device and replace or update as needed. <answer>The Architecture and Protocol Guide is independent of the frequency band. Any frequencies referred to within the document are for example purposes only. Consequently, this is the correct document to utilize. The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information within 30 days of the original e-mail date may result in application dismissal and forfeiture of the filing fee. Also, please note that partial responses increase processing time and should not be submitted. Any questions about the content of this correspondence should be directed to the e-mail address listed below the name of the sender. Best regards, Chris Harvey [email protected]
