300 Backhaul Radios
Introduction
AIRAYA WirelessGRID-300 series wireless bridges have been designed to
provide transparent, high-speed data communications between two or
more locations.
The WirelessGRID-300 utilizes detachable antennas and is an outdoor
radio product, with external antenna connections. The product requires
installation by a certified professional installer, only.
WirelessGRID-300 firmware will not allow the end user to change or
modify the country code settings of this product. The availability of
specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country
dependent and are programmed in firmware to match the intended
destination, by AIRAYA Corp. factory personnel only.
This solution offers proven, fast, reliable, and secure wireless connectivity
with considerable cost savings compared to wired alternatives. Utilizing
proprietary 5.725-5.850 GHz technology, the WirelessGRID-300 bridge
can easily replace an Ethernet or multiple T1 connections or seamlessly
integrate into a newer 1000/100 Mbps Ethernet Local Area Network
(LAN).
Package Checklist
Each WirelessGRID-300 bridge comes in either one or two cartons,
depending on the model ordered, and contains the following components:
ü Two outdoor units with either two (2) or three (3) N-type Female
Connectors
ü Pole mounting hardware and brackets
ü Two indoor injector units and full range power supplies for remote
power
ü Two 48 VDC .4 Amp power bricks
ü Two UV-protected outdoor-rated cables (length specified by part
number) or Bulkhead fittings for Gigabit remote PoE power cables.
Please register your product online at: www.airaya.com in the support/
product registration section of our web site. Note: Free technical support
is only available to registered users of AIRAYA equipment.
Please inform your dealer if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged
parts. If possible, retain the carton and original packing materials for
repacking purposes in case you need to return a radio bridge for repair.

Hardware Description
Ethernet Compatibility
WirelessGRID-300 wireless bridges can be attached directly to 10BASE1000/100 BASE-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segments. These
segments must conform to the IEEE 802.3 specification.
Each WirelessGRID-300 bridge functions as an Ethernet node and
performs layer 2 bridging by moving packets from a network in one
building to a network in another building.
Radio Characteristics
WirelessGRID-300 bridges utilizes a radio modulation technique known as
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) capable of operating
in the 5.725-5.850 band. Data is transmitted over a radio channel at
signaling rates up to 300 Mbps.
Antenna Options for 5 GHz Operation
The outdoor version of the WirelessGRID-300 bridge uses FCC certified
antennas to achieve a maximum operating range up to 30 miles under FCC
rules in the 5.8 GHz band.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed
below, and having a maximum gain of 29 dB. Antennas not included in
this list or having a gain greater than 29 dB are strictly prohibited for
use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.

Outdoor Nema4 Enclosure
The metal enclosure of WirelessGRID-300 bridge has been designed for
maximum durability for outdoor use in a range of weather conditions.
They are watertight and meet NEMA/EEMAC Type 4 and IP66
specifications.
Cabling and Cable Bulkhead Fittings
The outdoor version of the WirelessGRID-300 bridge includes Category 5e
cables designed for outdoor applications. This cable supports DC Power
Over Ethernet for easy installation. The bulkhead fitting is an IP67-rated
Ethernet Fitting for use in outdoor applications.
Remote PoE Power
Gigabit Power Over Ethernet (IEEE802.3AF) is an integral part of the
WirelessGRID-300 bridge. The injector is capable of providing power at
the full distance specified by the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet specification (100
meters).

System Requirements
Before installing the WirelessGRID-300 bridge, be sure you have the
following items on-hand:
ü An AC power outlet (100 to 240 V, 50 to 60 Hz) to supply power to
the indoor injector units on both sides of the wireless link
ü An outdoor unit mast with a 1 to 4 inch (25.4 to 101.6 mm)
diameter
ü An available RJ-45 (UTP) port on a 1000/100 Mbps Ethernet switch
or router
ü Web browser or telnet (CLI) application for software configuration
The WirelessGRID-300 bridge has been designed to withstand normal
handling procedures, but reasonable precautions should be taken during
installation, particularly with regard to static discharge.
· Make sure that you are adequately grounded by touching the bare
metal surface on the back of a computer or networking device
before installing the indoor and outdoor units.
· Avoid moving around the work area in order to eliminate static
charge buildup.
· If possible, do not work on a carpeted area.

Connecting the Indoor Injector Unit
Figure 5. Network and outdoor connection views
The indoor injector unit connects your company network to the outdoor
portion of the WirelessGRID-300 bridge and delivers both data and
power. The indoor portion of the remote power system features the
following LED status indicators:

Injector 48V out
(green)
Before you mount the indoor Injector unit at a fixed location, consider the
following requirements to determine optimal placement:
Power source is active and supplying 48 volts to the indoor
injector unit
Power Over Ethernet is active and the injector is hot at the
48V Out+ Signal port
· The cable length from the Ethernet switch or router to the
outdoor unit must not exceed 328 feet (100 meters).
· Placement must allow for easy access to disconnect the
indoor injector unit from the AC outlet if necessary.

Follow these steps to install the indoor injector unit:
1. Connect the To Network port on the indoor injector unit to your
1000/100 Mbps Ethernet switch or router using a straight-through
Category 5 UTP cable.
2. Connect the power brick to the 48 VDC In power socket on the indoor
injector unit and then plug the power brick into the wall power
receptacle. Warning: Use only the power adapter supplied with the
WirelessGRID-300 bridge in order to prevent damage.
3. You are now ready to apply power to the outdoor unit. Connect the 48V
OUT + Signal port to the outdoor unit using the included (black)
Category 5e cable attached to the outdoor unit. The 48V OUT LED will
light to indicate that the indoor injector unit is active and outputting 48
volts, .4 amps to the 48V OUT + Signal port.
TIP
After applying power to the outdoor unit, the link light on your network
connection (Switch or Router Port) should be on.
