5.7 GHz Radio
Installation Instructions

Install Parabolic Dish

Step 1: Attach the pole mount assembly to the dish. Assemble with tilt
adjustment screw towards the top as shown. Be sure to mount the tilt adjust
screw on the correct side of the antenna flange as shown for proper operation.
Torque nuts to at least 60 in-lbs.

Step 2: Place the stabilizer clamp on the pole just below where the antenna will
be mounted. This clamp helps to stabilize the antenna during assembly and also
gives added vertical support during use.

Step 3: Attach the antenna assembly to the pole using the two U-Bolts provided.

Step 4: Attach the antenna feed. This antenna has a positive polarity mounting

method. For Vertical polarity engage the feed with the black screw in the up or
down position. For Horizontal polarity engage the feed with the black screw in
the left or right position. Tighten the feed attach nut on the back of the antenna
to secure the feed. Both dishes of a common radio link must have the same
polarity; either both vertical or horizontal.

Horizontal Polarity Vertical Polarity Antenna Feed Drain Holes

Step 5: Radome Assembly – If you have purchased the optional radome kit for this antenna,
depending on your installation, you may want to assemble the antenna feed and the radome before
mounting the antenna to the pole. After installing the antenna feed, attach the radome cover to the
antenna using 12 screws. Use a flat washer under the head of the screw to protect the fiberglass.
Tighten the screws to 25 in lbs. Try not to apply excessive force to the screws. Be sure the radome is
oriented so that the drain holes are on the bottom of the antenna.

Install and Attach Radio

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL

Mount the Radio: The radio should be installed directly behind the parabolic dish with
the hose clamps on the pole. Note that the hose clamps should only encase the pole and
the radio, not the bracket of the dish. If the bracket is included, then the dish will not
rotate easily for horizontal alignment.

Step 1: Attach the N-Connector from the radio to the antenna feed connection on the
parabolic dish. It is important that the N-connector cable from the radio is free of kinks,
crimps, and sharp bends. This could damage the cable. Prior to operation, place self­vulcanizing rubber tape on the N-connector after it has been securely fastened to the
antenna feed.

Step 2: If required, install the 6-pin timing cable; depending on radio configuration

Step 3: Connect the 8-pin power/data cable.

Exposure Note

A Canopy module must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm (7.9 in) from all persons. When adding the Canopy
reflector dish, the reflector dish must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 1.5m (59.1 in) from all persons. When so
installed, the module’s RF field is within Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health
Canada’s website http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.

In both configurations the maximum RMS power does not exceed 340mW.

The applicable power density exposure limit is 10 Watt/m
Health Canada Safety Code 6. The corresponding compliance distances referenced above have been determined by assuming worst-case
scenarios. The peak power density (S) in the far-field of a radio-frequency source with rms transmit power P and antenna gain G at a
distance d is

In the case of the Canopy SM without reflector, the gain is 8 dBi (a factor of 6.3), so the peak power density equals the exposure limit at
a distance of 13 cm for 2.4 GHz product and 10 cm for 5.2 and 5.7 GHz product. A power compliance margin of over 2 is artificially
introduced by setting the distance to a consistent 20 cm across all modules, giving a power compliance margin of x2.4 for 2.4 GHz
modules and x4 for 5.2 and 5.7 GHz modules.

In the case of the Canopy SM with reflector, the gain depends on frequency and ranges from 19 dBi (a factor of 80) for 2.4 GHz modules
to 26 dBi (a factor of 400) for 5.7 GHz modules, so the peak power density equals the exposure limit at a distance of 46 to 80 cm. An
power compliance margin is artificially introduced by defining a consistent compliance distance of 1.5 m across all modules, giving a
power compliance margin of x10 for 2.4 GHz modules and x3.5 for 5.7 GHz modules. The compliance distance is greatly overestimated
in this case because the far-field equation neglects the physical dimension of the antenna, which is modeled as a point-source.

When using Backhauls in standalone links, the type of Backhaul is selected based on data needs
and range needs. When using Backhauls in a network and co-locating a BH with Access Points,
the type of backhaul is usually selected based on having the BH in a different band than the APs.
In other words, if the APs are 5700s, the BH could be a 5200 or a 2400. If the APs are 2400s, the
BH could be a 5200 or a 5700. While distance separation of 100 vertical feet (30 m) on a tower can
allow use of co-located APs and BHs in the same band, choosing cross-band APs and BHs is
usually the better choice.

The diagnostic LEDs report information about the current status of the access point module. The
following descriptions explain the function of each LED.

Operational Mode

LNK: The link LED displays the status of the Ethernet link to the Canopy module. The LED will be

constantly lit if there is an Ethernet link present. The LED is colored green.

ACT/4: The activity LED displays the status of any data activity on the Ethernet link. The LED will
flash (at no particular speed) when data is being transferred on the Ethernet link. The LED is

colored orange.

GPS/3: If the module is a backhaul timing master the GPS LED displays the status of the sync
pulse and is lit constantly when the pulse is being received. If the module is a backhaul timing
slave this LED is not utilized. The LED is red.

SES/2: The session LED is not used on the access point module. The LED is green.

SYN/1: The sync LED displays sync status. In short, this LED will lit all the time on an access

point module. The LED is orange.

PWR: The power LED displays the status of power to the module. The LED will be constantly lit if
power is applied correctly. The LED is red.

If the module is a backhaul timing slave and is not registered to a backhaul timing master then the
SYN/1, SES/2, and GPS/3 LEDs will cycle on and off from left to right.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON NETWORKING

Computers are assigned IP addresses by network operators, which have two methods available,
static or dynamic IP addressing. The user of this document will need to understand how IP
addressing is done at their particular location.

All Canopy radio products (Subscriber Modules, Access Point Modules, and Backhaul Modules)
have the default IP address of 169.254.1.1. For a computer to talk to Canopy, as it comes from the
factory, either of the following conditions must be met:

• If the computer is not configured for DHCP, then it has to have a static IP address on the

169.254 network (i.e. 169.254.1.5)

• If the computer is configured for DHCP, then it will automatically obtain an IP address on
the 169.254 network after minute or two as long as it is not connected to the network.

backhaul timing master(s). Can also be utilized in conjunction with an access point cluster.

In the Canopy System, the point-to-point link is achieved utilizing backhaul modules in either the

2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz, or 5.7 GHz band. The backhaul modules utilize passive reflector to achieve
distances of up to 35 miles (56 km).

sight issues.

In its basic form the point-to-point link is made up of a backhaul timing master and a backhaul
timing slave. The cluster management module is key to the operation of the Canopy System.
Backhaul timing masters must be connected to a cluster management module so that a GPS timing
pulse can synchronize their transmission cycles. If one backhaul timing master module were to not
be synchronized then it may be transmitting during a receive cycle of the other modules and cause
de-sense. This is also true of the Canopy access point modules.

The following are some simple network diagrams of the proper way to layout single and multi­hopped point-to-point links.
