Physical Description
DO NOT coil excess Ethernet cable, but fold in a zig-zag fashion whilst
observing a minimum bend radius of 2 inches. The affect of lightning induced
current surges in the tower or conductors adjacent to the Ethernet cable will be
minimized when the Ethernet cable is folded in this way.
3.1 Ethernet and Power Cabling
Note: For more information on installation and cabling, refer to DragonWave Technical Note:
HC-TN-001.4 Horizon Compact Plus PonE.
Two options of copper interface cabling are supported along with an optical interface.
3.1.1 Copper Interface
Two, weatherproof, RJ45 Ethernet connectors provide data and management connections to the unit over
CAT5E cabling. Power is provided to the unit via Port 1 using a DWI proprietary power feed over the
Ethernet data cable - PonE (see Section 4.0). Ethernet cables must be wired for a straight through
connection.
3.1.2 Optical Interface
9
A weatherproof, MIL specification, multi-pin, connector is provided for Port 2, which includes the power
feed. Port 1 has a weatherproof optical fibre connector. Single mode and multimode fibre options are
available. As with the copper variant, Port 1 supports data traffic and optional management traffic and
Port 2 is for power input plus data traffic and optional management, or single wire 1+1 redundancy
applications (redundancy is not supported in this release).
A composite power and Ethernet cable assembly is available, which is compatible with the Horizon Port 2
connector, which feeds power, data and optional management to the Horizon.
Where distances prevent the use of the composite cable due to power feed loss, a special “Y” feed
adaptor cable is available that allows customer provided, heavier duty, wires to be spliced into the power
feed connection. The power feed wires (see Table 3-2 for recommended gauge) are spliced into the
adapter cable using weatherproof tap connectors. The power feed and Port 2 Ethernet cables (maximum
length 100 m) are fed through a DragonWave Lightning Arrestor unit designed to protect power and
network circuits from transients.

These values are true for all radio variants and based on a minimum voltage of 35 V DC at the Horizon.
Note that the power wires in the composite cable are comprised of two pairs of 20 AWG wire, which
supports the maximum length (100 m) when out-of-band management is employed using the combined
CAT5 cable.
3.2 Lightning Protection
Note: For effective protection against lightning-induced surges, proper grounding and shielding
practices MUST be followed for the ENTIRE installation. Consult DragonWave Inc. Technical Note:
HC-TN-001.4 Horizon Compact Plus PonE and Quick Reference Guide before installation!
The Horizon Compact Plus is protected from cable transients and power surges caused by lightning, or
other sources, by means of internal lightning arrestor components and external housing grounding points
(See Section 8.0).
For the Horizon Compact Plus, copper interface variant, protection of the connected network and power
supply is provided by a proprietary DragonWave PonE power injector/Lightning Arrestor unit, into which
the Ethernet cables and power feed are connected. There are two variants of the copper power
injector/Lightning Arrestor unit.
• Copper interface, outdoor use (see Figure 3-3)
o may be mounted on the outside wall of the network equipment building
• Copper interface, indoor use, wall or rack mountable (see Figure 3-4)
o must be mounted inside the network equipment building
For the Horizon Compact Plus, optical interface variant, or where PonE is not used to power the Horizon,
protection of the power feed and the Ethernet connections is provided by a Lightning Arrestor unit of
similar physical design to those described above. For correct installation procedures see Section 4.0.

3.3 Dual Polarization Radio Mount (DPRM)
The DPRM system allows two Horizon Compact Plus units to be assembled to a single antenna. The
antenna used is no different to that used for a single unit. One Horizon Compact Plus unit is mounted for
horizontal polarization and the other for vertical polarization. Both units can transmit and receive
simultaneously. This allows a link to carry up to 800 Mbps of Ethernet traffic. Although both units can
operate on the same frequency channels, with 30 dB isolation, it is recommended that different frequency
channels be used for each unit.
Figure 3-5 Dual Polarization Radio Mount
3.4 Power Split Radio Mount (PSRM)
For redundancy purposes, the PSRM allows two Horizon units to be mounted to a single antenna. Both
units must be oriented for the same polarization and only one unit can transmit/receive at any one time.
The PSRM looks similar to the DPRM shown in Figure 3-5, but has internal components that only allow
one unit to transmit/receive at a time.
Note that redundant systems do not have to use the PSRM. Each may be separately mounted to their
own antennas if desired.
The benefits of the PSRM are that only one antenna is required, reducing tower real estate requirements,
reducing weight and minimizing wind loading.
Disadvantages include a 4 dB loss in signal when operating on the primary systems at each end of the
link and an 8.5 dB loss in signal when a secondary radio is activated (one end running on Primary and
other end operating on secondary).
Note that redundancy is not supported in this release.

4.1 Lightning Arrestor Units
The importance of protecting network and power systems from damaging voltage transients, induced by
lightning and other sources, cannot be over emphasized.
DragonWave supplies four types of Lightning Arrestor Units.
• Outdoor rated Lightning Arrestor with integrated power on Ethernet (PonE)
• Indoor rated Lightning Arrestor with integrated power on Ethernet (PonE)
• Outdoor rated Lightning Arrestor only
• Indoor rated Lightning Arrestor only
All four provide protection for up to two Ethernet network cables plus redundant power feeds.
4.1.1 Outdoor Lightning Arrestor Units
The Outdoor units are housed in a weatherproof plastic enclosure employing gland nut seals for cable
entry. Access to network and power terminals is via a gasket sealed lid, which is secured by four retaining
screws. Figure 4-1 shows the Lightning Arrestor unit with integrated PonE, with lid removed.
Figure 4-1 Outdoor Lightning Arrestor Unit with Integrated PonE Supply Feed
4.1.2 Indoor Lightning Arrestor Units
The Indoor units are housed in a metal enclosure with an integral grounding lug and with direct access to
network and power connection terminations.

4.2 Grounded Power Feeds
Where the return side of a site-supplied power feed is grounded, provision is made on all versions of the
lightning arrestor units to link the return feed to the integral grounding lug on the unit. A shorting link is
stored on J4. When grounding is required, this is transferred to J5 (see Figure 4-6).
Figure 4-6 Grounded Power Return Link
On earlier models of both the indoor and outdoor lightning arrestors, the shorting link feature is not
present. To ground the return side of the power supply for the earlier models, connect a shorting wire
between the “RTN” connection on the power connection block and the grounding point on the PCB as
shown in Figure 4-7.

DO NOT coil excess Ethernet cable, but fold in a zig-zag fashion whilst
observing a minimum bend radius of 2 inches. The effect of lightning induced
current surges in the tower or conductors adjacent to the Ethernet cable will be
minimized when the Ethernet cable is folded in this way.
20
4.3 Ethernet Cabling – Copper Interface
For the copper interface, data cabling from the Horizon Compact Plus unit to the PonE Power
Injector/Lightning Arrestor consists of outdoor rated, shielded, CAT5E cables equivalent to Belden 7919A.
The shielded cables require shielded RJ45 connectors. Use of standard indoor unshielded RJ45
connectors may result in a lack of lightning protection, poorly constructed cables, intermittent connections
and data loss. Depending on the system configuration ordered and fielded, up to four shielded RJ45 and
two unshielded RJ45 connectors are provided.
The cables terminate in a DWI Power on Ethernet (PonE) Power Injector/Lightning Arrestor unit located
either outside of the building cable entry point (using the outdoor PonE unit) or inside the network
equipment building (using the indoor PonE unit).
DO NOT CONNECT SHIELDED RJ45 CONNECTORS TO ETHERNET CABLES CONNECTING THE
LIGHTNING ARRESTOR TO THE NETWORK SWITCH.
Note: Straight through Ethernet cables must be used between the PonE power injector and the
Horizon Compact Plus. The use of a cross-over type, or incorrectly wired CAT5E cables, will
cause the PonE power injector to go into an alarm condition and not power up the Horizon
Compact Plus. A Status LED indicates the status of the PonE power injector (see Section 5.1.4)
The PonE unit contains Lightning Arrestors and must be grounded according to local or regional Electrical
Codes. Unshielded Ethernet cables are connected between the PonE unit and the Ethernet switch or
router. Power for the PonE unit is supplied by 2-wire 16 AWG electrical wiring, carrying 48 V DC (-48 V
or +48 V) with a maximum current draw of 2 amperes.
If Port 2 is not being used, ensure that a protective weatherproof cap is fitted to the port receptacle.

4.3.2 Outdoor PonE Unit Weatherproof Grommet Seals
The cable entry points into the outdoor PonE unit are protected from moisture ingress by special rubber
grommet seals. Each grommet has three holes to accommodate up to three cables (two CAT5 and one
power). Rubber plugs are provided for holes that are not being used. Two holes, for CAT5, have a split
side to allow pre-terminated cables to be easily inserted. The third hole, which is smaller, is not split but
allows un-terminated power cables to be pushed through. A gland nut is used to secure the cables and
create the seal. Ensure that the rubber plugs are in place for all holes not occupied by cables and that the
grommet sits squarely in its receptacle before tightening the gland nut to secure the seal.
Note that any pre-terminated
cables will need to have the
connectors staggered, as shown,
lower left, in Figure 4-9, in order
for them to pass through the hole
in the PonE unit housing

4.3.4 Assembling the RJ45 Connector
Shielded, weatherproof RJ45 connector shells are used for connecting the CAT5E cable, leading from the
power-on-Ethernet power supply and network connections, to the Horizon Compact Plus.
Note: Shield and drain wire MUST be connected to metal head shell of RJ45 connector at BOTH
ends of outdoor cable!
Two different styles of connector have been used in production. For Horizon serial numbers ending in
“999” or less, an RJ45 “snap in” type in-line housing is used. For serial numbers ending in “1000” or
higher a “push fit” style is used. Both styles are not compatible and do not mate with the respective
female connector on the horizon chassis.
“Snap fit” Style
The connector shell must be assembled in a specific manner for it to correctly connect to the Horizon
Compact Plus unit. The CAT5E cable is terminated as a straight through connection with a shielded
RJ45 connector. This RJ45 connector has to be assembled into the weatherproof connector shell
oriented as shown in Figure 4-11.

“Push fit” Style
This connector relies on a gland nut to hold the assembly firmly together. The CAT5E cable is threaded
through all the components of the connector housing (see Figure 4-12) before the cable is terminated as
a straight through connection with a shielded RJ45 connector. Once terminated, the RJ45 connector
slides back into the connector housing which accepts the tab on the RJ45 connector. Screw the ferrule
into the connector housing as far as it will go, ensuring that the ‘O’ ring creates a tight seal with the
connector housing. Slide the compression seal into the ferrule, noting that the keyways have to mate with
channels in the ferrule. While ensuring that the RJ45 connector is firmly seated in the connector housing,
tighten up the gland nut to secure the complete connector assembly.

Caution : Ensure correct voltage polarity before connecting external DC supply to
Horizon Compact Plus Unit.
The DC feed into the equipment shall be protected by a 3A rated over protection
device provided as part of the building installation.
Do not mix AC/DC adapter and site 48 V DC supplies.
It is recommended to use an isolated ±48VDC supply where both inputs are
floating (neither side grounded), or the isolated AC/DC adapter option. In cases
where the site supplied ±48VDC is not isolated and has the +ve (return) side
grounded, apply the shorting link to J5 (see Figure 4-6), or the green jumper wire
provided, to connect the 48V “RTN” to the ground lug connection inside the PonE
box (see Figure 4-7).
5.0 Powering the Horizon Compact Plus
Before an active management session can be started on the Horizon Compact Plus, power needs to be
provided to the unit. Read this section completely before applying power to the Horizon Compact
Plus.
5.1 Copper Interface
The Horizon Compact Plus with copper interface receives its power over the Ethernet connection to Port
1 using a DragonWave proprietary technique. To integrate the power onto the Ethernet cable requires the
use of a DragonWave Power on Ethernet (PonE) power injector/Lightning Arrestor. There are two
versions of this unit – an outdoor rated unit and an indoor rated unit. Both DragonWave PonE units also
include transient and surge suppression components to protect the power supply and network from
lightning induced surges and transients.
Note: The Horizon PonE implementation is proprietary and does not follow IEEE standards.
CAUTION: Only use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the Horizon to the PonE/surge
unit. Incorrectly wired cables will cause an alarm condition on the PonE adapter and the Horizon
Compact Plus will not power up.
5.1.1 Using the Outdoor PonE Unit
Figure 5-1 Connecting Power Using Outdoor PonE Unit – Copper Interface
Horizon Compact Plus Release 1.0.1 Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual – Volume 1
Page 37
CAUTION
Do not mix AC/DC converter and site 48 V DC supplies for power redundancy.
Use of ISOLATED 48 VDC supplies is recommended. For non-isolated site-
supplied 48VDC where the “Return” (positive) side is grounded, transfer the
shorting link from P4 to P5 (see Section 4.2).
For Release 1.1 and earlier, do not connect a PC or other network device (e.g.
network switch) to the right hand RJ45 sockets on the PonE adapter. -48 V DC is
present on these connectors which may destroy the connected device. Connect
only a Horizon Compact Plus unit to the right hand RJ45 connectors.

1. Connect Port 1 of the Horizon Compact Plus to the correct socket on the PonE/lightning arrestor
using a straight through, shielded, Ethernet cable (see caution above).
2. Connect the Ethernet port on the PC to the network input socket on the PonE/lightning arrestor,
using a straight through Ethernet cable, with an unshielded RJ45 connector.
Ensure that you have connected the PC and Horizon to the correct RJ45 sockets on the PonE/lightning
arrestor.
3. Once the PC and Horizon Compact Plus are connected to the PonE/lightning arrestor, you may
connect power to the PonE/lightning arrestor. This will supply power to the Horizon Compact Plus
unit. An incorrectly wired system will cause the PonE/lightning arrestor to prevent the Horizon
Compact Plus from powering up. This protects the Horizon Compact Plus from incorrectly
terminated power feeds.
Note that the PonE adapter supports redundant power supplies.

5.1.4 PonE Status LED
Both the Outdoor and Indoor rated PonE units have a green status LED (see Figure 5-3) which indicates
the status of the power-up cycle. When power is applied to the PonE adapter, prior to it attempting to
apply power to the Horizon Compact Plus, the PonE management system checks for under/over-voltage
and open or short circuit conditions. If any such condition exists, then the PonE adapter will not apply
power to the Horizon Compact Plus. The status LED signals the condition of the PonE system if this
should occur (see Table 5-1). If the fault condition clears, the system will then attempt to provide power to
the Horizon Compact Plus unit, but the LED will continue to indicate that a current/voltage problem had
occurred (Alarm history). The LED may be reset by pressing the Alarm Reset button or recycling the
power feed to the PonE adapter. See Figure 5-3 for the locations of the LED and Alarm Reset Button.
Incorrectly wired CAT5E cables can cause open or short circuit conditions, so this feature protects the
Horizon Compact Plus from incorrectly applied power. The PonE power unit will also shut-down when the
Horizon Compact Plus is disconnected from the PonE adapter (NTWK to Horizon port cable
disconnected).

5.2 Optical Interface
In the copper interface version, power is fed to the Horizon using PonE techniques via the Ethernet
connection to Port 1. In the optical version, this is not possible, so power is fed via the connection to Port
2. Port 2, on the optical interface variant, is equipped with a weatherproof MIL style multi-pin connector,
which incorporates an Ethernet connection and a power feed (NOT PonE) connection.
5.2.1 Using the Composite Cable
A composite cable is available that includes two CAT5E cables and power feed wires and is terminated at
the Horizon end with the MIL style connector compatible with the Port 2 connection. One of the CAT5E
cables (grey) provides an Ethernet connection to Port 2. The remaining CAT5E cable (blue) does not
need to be terminated.
Note that the Ethernet connection (where used) and power feed to Port 2 must be fed via a DragonWave
Lightning Arrestor Unit to protect the network and power systems from transients. Either the Indoor or
Outdoor Lightning Arrestor unit may be used depending on the installation.

5.2.2 Alternate Power Feed Option - “Y” Feed Adapter Cable
Where distances prevent the use of the composite cable due to power feed loss, a special “Y” feed
adaptor cable is available that allows customer provided, heavier duty, wires to be spliced into the power
feed connection. The gland fitting on the DragonWave Lightning Arrestor unit accepts and seals a round
cable with a jacket diameter between 0.35 and 0.62 inches. The power terminal block will accept up to a
maximum of 14 AWG wires. An RJ45 Ethernet port connection is also available on this “Y” adapter cable.
Note that the OOB management connection (where used) and power feed to Port 2 must be fed via a
DragonWave Lightning Arrestor Unit to protect the network and power systems from transients. Either the
Indoor or Outdoor Lightning Arrestor unit may be used depending on the installation.
Figure 5-5 shows this arrangement showing how network and power circuits are protected by using the
DragonWave Outdoor Lightning Arrestor Unit. If the suppression unit is installed indoors, then the
DragonWave Indoor Lightning Arrestor Unit may be substituted using the same connections.

6.0 Initial Configuration
There are a number of configuration steps that need to be carried out before the Horizon Compact Plus
can become operational. It is recommended that these steps be performed prior to mounting the system
on the tower. These steps relate to:
Once this information has been correctly entered, the Horizon Compact Plus system is ready for
installation and system alignment.
The Horizon Compact Plus can be configured using Telnet or the Web interface.
Before attempting to log on you must configure the network parameters of your laptop, or PC, so that they
are in the same domain as the Horizon Compact Plus default IP address and subnet mask values.
By default, the IP address of a Horizon Compact Plus system is 192.168.10.100 and the subnet mask is
set to 255.255.0.0. Use this IP address to communicate with the unit, using either Telnet or the Web
browser. A complete set of CLI commands is available for use with Telnet (See Appendix A).
For the copper interface, connect your laptop or PC Ethernet port to physical Port 2 (GigE port) on the
Horizon Compact Plus using a straight through Ethernet cable. By default the management option is set
to “out-of-band”, which will allow management via p2. Note that ports p3 and p4 are disabled by default.
6.1 Secure Management Access.
Secure management access is controlled by a user name and password. The default Super User name is
“energetic” and the default password is “wireless”. The system allows any format for user passwords
(except the use of special characters), but does not allow a duplicate name or password. Also, an existing
user name cannot be used as a password. The same rules apply for both Telnet and Web access.
The default the system allows DragonWave personnel unhindered access to the system using a
proprietary access code. This may be necessary if default Super User parameters have been changed
and have been forgotten, or remote access is required to troubleshoot the system.
6.2 Using Telnet
6.2.1 Logging on
On your laptop or PC, open the DOS Command Prompt, or open the Windows Run option. In either case
type:
telnet 192.168.10.100 and press Enter.
When the Telnet window appears you may have to press Enter again to reveal the logon prompt.
When prompted, enter the Super User name and password. For the DragonWave default access option
the Super User name is “energetic” and the password is “wireless”.
Successful logging on is indicated by the CLI cursor (->) being displayed.
Note that after 10 minutes of inactivity, you will be automatically logged off the system.
6.2.2 Context Sensitive Help
Full context sensitive help is available for all CLI commands. Type ? followed by a partial command to
return a list of all commands that match the entry, with an explanation as to how each command is used.
Type a command followed by ? to return a list of all variants of that command. See Appendix A – CLI

6.2.3 Configuring Radio Band and Frequency Channels
Both Horizon Compact Plus units in a system (near and far end) have to be configured with the same
radio band. Volume 3 of this manual lists all the radio bands supported by the Horizon Compact Plus
system. The radio band selected must match that for which the Horizon Compact Plus units have been
manufactured. Only those radio bands for which the radio can be configured are available for selection.
The radio band will also be dictated in the wireless licensing documents.
Typical radio band configuration selections have the format “fcc23_3_50”, “etsi23_3_14” ,
“ul_fcc24_1_40” etc.
For licensed radio bands, the Horizon Compact Plus units at each end of the link have different frequency
banks allocated to them. One unit will be allocated the “LOW” bank and the other the “HIGH” bank. This is
indicated on the label attached to each unit (LOW or HIGH). Wireless licensing documents will indicate at
which end of the link each should be located. The radio part number, that is stored in the system,
determines if it is a LOW or HIGH unit and automatically configures the correct frequency bank for each
unit.
For unlicensed radio bands Horizon Compact Plus units have the same type of radio at each end of the
link and do not have a LOW or HIGH indication on their labels.
Each bank contains a number of frequency channels, of which only one will be selected. Once again the
actual frequency channel will be dictated in the wireless licensing documents. Note that when using 2
Horizon Compact Plus systems on the same data path, non-overlapping channels are required when
operating above 16QAM. If, however, you must use co-channel operation, then consult DragonWave for
installation guidance and installation mount enhancements that are required.
You also need to configure the system mode (determines modulation, bandwidth and throughput
parameters).
Use Telnet access and the following procedure to configure the radio parameters:

6.2.4 Configuring IP Address Values
When shipped from DragonWave, the Horizon Compact Plus is configured with a default IP address
(192.168.10.100) and subnet mask (255.255.0.0). The default address is used to communicate with the
Horizon Compact Plus for initial configuration purposes, such as entering the IP address that the unit will
have in the network to which it is to be connected. IP address information is entered in the following
manner:
Once the system has reset, you may not be able to communicate with it without changing your laptop or
PC networking parameters to match the new IP address values programmed into the Horizon Compact
Plus.
Note that the reset system command is not always required when making configuration changes, but the
save mib command is always required. Commands that require a reset system will be indicated on the
screen.

6.2.10 Logging Out
When accessing the system via Telnet, log out of the system by using the CLI command lo.
When accessing using the Web browser, closing the browser will log you out of the system.
6.2.11 Session Time Out
After 10 minutes of inactivity, Horizon Compact Plus units will automatically terminate the login session.
6.2.12 Recovery of IP Address and Serial Numbers
In the event that the Horizon Super User name and password, or IP address has been lost, forgotten, or
misconfigured, you will need to contact DragonWave ([email protected]). DragonWave
Technical Support will provide the Merlin recovery utility that, using a proprietary protocol, can recover the
configured IP address parameters and/or reset the Super User name, Super User password and IP
address parameters to the factory default values (energetic, wireless; 192.168.10.100, 255.255.0.0). In
addition it reports the system serial number.
The Merlin utility runs on a PC running the Windows operating system and requires a one-time-use
recovery key provided by DragonWave. Proof of ownership and proof of authority must be provided
before the key will be issued. When Merlin is invoked, the Horizon unit responds with the required
information, which is saved in a text file, located in the same directory as the Merlin application.
6.3 Using the Web interface
The Horizon Compact Plus Web interface is enabled by default.
Open a Web browser and, in the “Address” or URL field at the top of the page, enter the IP address of the
Horizon Compact Plus unit (default is 192.168.10.100) and press Enter. If your laptop or PC has been
correctly set up, you will be prompted for the user name and password. Type in the Super User name and
password. The same security access option selected when you purchased the system is also applied to
the Web interface. For the DragonWave default option the Super User name is “energetic” and the
password is “wireless”.
The web page interface is intuitive and can be used to configure most of the basic configuration
requirements and also some advanced features. However, it cannot be used to configure all features (e.g.
system user accounts). Its best use is for monitoring the status of systems that are already configured
and for making changes to the existing configuration. See Volume 2 of this manual to see a detailed
description of the web interface.

Caution
The interface between the antenna port and the waveguide adaptor is
very tight and care must be taken both when mounting and removing the
Horizon Compact plus to/from its antenna.
7.0 Antenna Mounting and Tower Specifications
The Horizon Compact Plus unit clip mounts onto a range of antennas, providing a variety of gain and
range options. The same mounting system is used for all sizes of antenna. Where multiple Dragonwave
radio systems are located on the same pole/tower, it is recommended that all radios be either TxHigh or
TxLow.
Figure 7-1 Horizon Compact Plus showing clip mount features
The Horizon Compact Plus unit has two, integral, spring loaded, mounting clips. DragonWave antennas
have matching mounting lugs, to which the mounting clips attach. The antenna port and the waveguide
adaptor of the Horizon Compact Plus unit, fit together, and are weather-sealed with a lubricated ‘O’ ring
located on the outside surface of the antenna port. See the step by step mounting instructions below:
1. Ensure O-Lube supplied with the product is applied to the O-ring prior to mating the Horizon
Compact Plus to the Waveguide adaptor.
2. With the Horizon Compact Plus unit (waveguide side uppermost) resting on a firm, flat surface,
carefully place the Antenna on the Horizon Compact Plus and loosely engage the two clips into the
mounting lugs. DO NOT try to force the antenna onto the Horizon Compact Plus manually. The
concentric alignment of the Horizon Compact Plus to the adaptor is critical during
engagement to prevent damage and metal galling.
3. Ensure that the drain holes in the antenna are positioned such that with the Horizon Compact Plus
in the vertical orientation, one drain hole points down.
4. Push down both clips on the Horizon Plus, at the same time, drawing the Horizon Compact Plus
and adaptor together until they are fully seated.
Note: The waveguide interface to the antenna is circular. The antenna is not polarization specific. The
polarization is determined by orientation of the Horizon Compact Plus Unit. A visual polarization indicator
(an “arrow”) can be found on the Horizon Compact Plus housing. If the Horizon Compact Plus is installed
with the polarization indicator in the vertical plane then the unit is in vertical polarization. Similarly, if the
polarization indicator is in the horizontal plane then the unit is in horizontal polarization.

Antenna Mounting and Tower Specifications
Caution
Cross-polarized radios or antennas result in the signal strength being 20-
30 dB below expected RSL levels! Ensure both radios have the same
orientation (vertical or horizontal).
Polarization Marker
(arrow vertical)
43
7.1 Polarization
Point-to-point Horizon Compact Plus units that operate on licensed radio bands use a diplexer system to
simultaneously handle transmitted and received signals to/from the dish/reflector. In this case, both
transmit and receive radios must have the same signal polarization.
Horizon Compact Plus units that operate in the licensed Local Multi-point Distribution Service (LMDS)
radio band (31 GHz) and Horizon Compact Plus units that operate in the 24 GHz unlicensed radio band,
use an orthogonal mode transducer (OMT) to allow the radios to simultaneously transmit on one
polarization and receive on the opposite polarization.
7.1.1 Point-to-point Licensed Radio Bands
Both Horizon Compact Plus units must be mounted on the pole/tower oriented for the same polarization.
i.e. both vertical polarization, or both horizontal polarization.
The radio frequency polarization is indicated by an arrow molded into the Horizon Compact Plus housing.
Attach the Horizon Compact Plus to the dish/reflector so that the arrow points either vertically or
horizontally, as required, when the assembly is attached to the mounting post or tower. With the arrow
horizontal (pointing to the left) – horizontal polarization; with the arrow vertical (pointing upwards) –
vertical polarization. For licensed frequencies, the required radio polarization is defined in your licensing
documentation.

Caution
For 31 GHz LMDS and 24 GHz Unlicensed Band, radios MUST be cross-
polarized. i.e. Vertical polarization at one end and horizontal polarization at
the other. For 24 GHz unlicensed band It does not matter at which end
either radio is installed.
44
7.1.2 LMDS and Unlicensed Radio Bands (UL24)
For 31 GHz licensed LMDS radio bands and the 24 GHz unlicensed radio bands, regulatory bodies
require that radios in a system have to be cross-polarized. This means that the polarization of the
transmitter signal at one end of the link, or distribution system, is vertical and the transmitter signal
polarization at the other end is horizontal.
The radio at one end transmits with vertical polarization and receives with horizontal polarization, while
the other end transmits with horizontal polarization and receives with vertical polarization.
The radio frequency polarization is indicated by an arrow molded into the Horizon Compact Plus housing.
Attach the Horizon Compact Plus to the dish/reflector mount so that the arrow points either vertically or
horizontally, as required, when the assembly is attached to the mounting post or tower. With the arrow
horizontal (pointing to the left) – horizontal polarization; with the arrow vertical (pointing upwards) –
vertical polarization. For LMDS and unlicensed frequencies, one end of the link has to have vertical
polarization and the other horizontally polarization (cross-polarized). For unlicensed frequencies (24 GHz)
it does not matter which end of the link has a specific polarization.
7.1.2.1 Unlicensed (UL24) Dish/Reflector Information
The 24 GHz unlicensed Horizon Compact Plus has been designed to operate with the dish/reflector types
listed in Table 7-1, and having a maximum gain of 43.7 dBi. Dish/reflectors not included in this list or
having a gain greater than 43.7dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

7.2 Pole and Tower Specifications
It is important that mounting posts or towers used meet the DragonWave specifications for rigidity to
minimize the effects of twist and sway on the alignment of the link. Note that the maximum twist and sway
angle allowable is equal to half of the antenna beam width.
Table 7-2
Twist and Sway Specifications – Selected Frequencies
Table 7-3
Mounting pole specifications
Twist and sway caused by wind or human activity can cause a link to fail. Using poles with specifications
shown in Table 7-3 will result in a stable mounting system. Systems with antenna sizes of 90 cm/36” in
diameter and greater, are recommended to be mounted on towers.

8.0 Grounding, Power and Lightning Arrestors
Note: For effective protection against lightning-induced surges, proper grounding and shielding
practices MUST be followed for the ENTIRE installation. Consult DragonWave Inc. Technical Note:
HC-TN-001 Horizon Compact Plus PonE and Quick Reference Guide before installation!
The Horizon Compact Plus unit must be grounded using a minimum of 6 AWG copper wire attached to
the metric thread (M6 x 1.0), grounding point as shown in Figure 8-1. Two 12 mm long bolts are supplied.
Lightning Arresters and lightning protection is built into the Horizon unit.
The Ethernet and PonE cables must be properly protected at the end of their run as they enter the
building. Before Ethernet cables enter buildings, voltages shall be clamped down to SELV by approved
type primary protectors.
For the copper interface option, proper use of the DragonWave Horizon PonE unit provides lightning and
surge protection for the connected network. The PonE unit shall be installed according to local Electrical
Safety Codes.
For the optical interface, proper use of the DragonWave Lightning Arrestor unit protects the optional
management Ethernet connection (if used) and the power supply.

Preparing for Alignment
CAUTION
For Release 1.1 and earlier, serious damage to network switches
or routers can occur if the network is plugged into the connectors
marked “TO HORIZON UNPROTECTED”. Power is fed to the
Horizon unit along the same wires that carry Ethernet traffic to the
Horizon unit. Unless you have the Release 1.2 PonE adapter, do
not, under any circumstances, plug cables connected to the
network into the RJ45 connectors marked “TO HORIZON
UNPROTECTED”.
CAUTION
Only use straight through Ethernet cables to connect the PonE
adapter to the Horizon Compact Plus. Using cross-over cables will
result in damage to the Horizon Compact Plus unit.
CAUTION
Use shielded CAT5E cables with shields and drain wires
connected to metal head shells of RJ45 connectors, at BOTH ends
of cable for all unprotected, outdoor cable runs to Horizon Unit!
Use unshielded CAT5 cables and/or RJ45 connectors for
protected-side cable runs to network equipment.

8.1 Power on Ethernet (PonE)
The copper interface variant of Horizon operates on -48 VDC and employs a proprietary Power on
Ethernet solution. The Horizon Outdoor and Indoor Power on Ethernet Lightning Arrestor units provide
integration of -48 VDC and data signals on the straight through Ethernet data cable. Power is not
integrated onto the optional out-of-band management Ethernet cable.
Note: The Horizon PonE implementation is proprietary and does not follow IEEE standards.
The Lightning Arrestor uses RJ45 connectors for the Ethernet cables and screw-terminals for the -48
VDC power connections. Dual -48 VDC power connectors are provided, allowing for the connection of
redundant power supplies.
The Lightning Arrestor unit contains protection against cable transients and power surges caused by
lightning or other sources. The Lightning Arrestor is installed at the opposite end of the CAT5E/PonE
cables to that of the Horizon unit and protects the network.
To ensure adequate lightning protection, the PonE Lightning Arrestor unit must be properly
grounded.
Horizon consumes a nominal 20 Watts (standard power), or 40 Watts (high power variant) from the -48
VDC supply. All eight of the wires in the Ethernet cable are used to carry power to the Horizon Compact
Plus unit. The Power on Ethernet Lightning Arrestor unit is rated at 2 amps.
The PonE unit has a protection feature that prevents power from being supplied to the Horizon Compact
Plus if it detects any under or over voltage/current conditions (see Section 5.1.4). Over or under
voltage/current conditions can occur if cables are incorrectly terminated.

9.0 Locating Horizon Compact Plus Systems
For both licensed and unlicensed systems, their location, relative to nearby obstacles, is an important
factor to consider when planning an installation. For systems mounted on buildings, roof edges and
parapets, the roof surface itself, air conditioning plant, other antenna systems, walls and overhead objects
are all considered potential obstacles. On tower mounted systems you must consider the proximity of
other antenna systems and mounting hardware.
You must also ensure that there is a clear line of sight (LOS) between the antennas of a Horizon
Compact Plus system link.
9.1 Near Field Effects
Near field effects, resulting from a number of minor radiation lobes normally found around antenna
systems, can reflect off nearby objects and interfere with the normal reception of the radio. Reflected
waves can also change their polarization. This is especially important for cross polarized LMDS and
unlicensed systems.
Consider an LMDS system or an unlicensed installation that transmits with vertical polarization and
receives with horizontal polarization. If the near field vertically polarized transmitted signal reflects off an
obstacle located too close to the antenna system, then the reflected signal changes its polarization to
horizontal, which is the same polarization as the receiver. This causes the receiver to “swallow” the
transmitted signal, resulting in receiver “swamping”, excessive noise and the inability to receive the signal
from the far end of the link. Ensuring that obstacles and objects are not too close to the antenna system
will avoid this problem.
As a “rule of thumb”, for both co-polarized and cross-polarized installations, ensure that you maintain an
angle of 45 degrees, or greater, between the far side of the highest part of an obstacle and the underside
of the dish/reflector. The diagrams in Figure 9-1 illustrate this approach. Also, remember to apply this rule
in all directions around the radio, above, below and to each side. An exception to this rule can be applied
when the system is positioned 12.5 m (40 ft) or more from the edge of a roof clear of obstacles (a roof
edge is considered an obstacle). In this case the system need not be higher than 2.5 m (8 ft) above the
roof surface.
Table 9-1 shows the minimum antenna height requirements above obstacles for the 24 GHz Unlicensed
frequency band.

Near field effects are also experienced above and on each side of the front of a system. Ensure that
these areas are also free of obstructions.
Horizon Compact Plus Release 1.0.1 Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual – Volume 1

DragonWave Inc.
52
9.2 Clear Line of Sight (LoS)
The DragonWave Horizon Compact Plus requires a clear LoS between the units at each end of the link.
You must be able to see an unobstructed view of the antennas from each end. Avoid obstacles that are
close to the LoS mid-way between antennas, but not blocking it, as this can have a negative impact on
signal quality (Fresnel zone clearance).
The Fresnel zone is an area of the antenna radiation pattern that lies mid way between the two system
antennas. The size of this area is dependant upon the frequency being used and the distance between
antennas. You should avoid having any obstructions within the Fresnel zone. Note that you may be able
to see the far end antenna without obstruction, but still have obstacles in the Fresnel Zone. Signal quality
will deteriorate if obstacles encroach too deeply into the Fresnel zone. Encroaching up to the 60% mark is
acceptable.
Also, ensure that antennas are mounted with adequate clearance from roof tops, roof edges, walls and
other obstacles (e.g. air conditioning plant) to avoid problematic near field effects.

10.0 Preparing for Alignment
The Horizon Compact Plus and antenna assembly is attached to the mounting post, or tower, with a
specialized mounting bracket that allows fine orientation adjustment of the Horizon/antenna assembly.
The same mounting bracket is used for all antenna sizes.
Visual alignment is achieved by rotating the assembly on the post, or tower, and positioning the assembly
so that the antenna is visually aligned with the target system before tightening the mounting bracket
clamp. Final alignment is achieved using the azimuth and elevation adjustment bolts. Once alignment is
achieved, the adjustment mechanisms are locked in place with lock nuts.
Figure 10-1 Mounting bracket with fine adjustment bolts
Final alignment is achieved by monitoring the received signal level (RSL) values as the system is
adjusted for azimuth and elevation. The BNC Field Strength Monitor connection is used in conjunction
with a voltmeter for RSL monitoring. See Section 10.1. Adjustments are made until the RSL value is at a
maximum, which should be within ± 3 dB of the expected value (link budget figure).
10.1 Received Signal Level (RSL) Measurements
To accurately align the Horizon Compact Plus to its far end peer, you need to monitor the received signal
level (RSL). There are two recommended methods for monitoring RSL. These are:
1. Use the CLI command set alignment on to activate the alignment feature at the BNC
connector located on the side of the unit. Connect a voltmeter to the BNC connector. The
voltage at this connector is linearly related to RSL and is 1 mV per dB e.g. -45 mV = -45 dB.
Note that the centre connection on the BNC connector is positive, so to read negative values
(to correlate with the negative RSL values) connect the negative pole of the voltmeter to the
centre connection.

radio or cell telephone, to the rigger adjusting the positioning of the system.

10.2 Important Factors
When you prepare to align the radio antennas, you must consider three important factors:
1. the radiation patterns of dish antennas (main lobe and side lobes)
2. the need for a Clear Line of Sight (LoS) (see Section 0)
3. the sensitivity of the alignment adjustment
10.2.1 Antenna Radiation Patterns
Dish antennas radiate a primary signal (main lobe) and a number of secondary signals (side lobes). The
main lobe is the strongest. When you align the radios, you must make sure to align to the main lobe of the
signal. If you mistake the first side side lobe for the main lobe during installation, there can be a 20-30 dB
loss of signal strength. For example, if the Calculated RSL = -42 dB then the side lobe would be at
approximately -62 dB, or 20 dB lower than the calculated level.
Table 10-1 Antenna Gains and Beam Widths – Selected Frequencies
Although in most cases only the first two side lobes are detected, depending on dish antenna size and the
distance between sites, it may be possible to “see” several side lobes (see Figure 10-3).
It is wise to pan the full 35 degrees available with the antenna alignment adjustment to locate all the lobes
that may be present, so that the main lobe can be positively identified. As you pan through the signal, the
side lobes will show up as peaks in the receive signal level (RSL), each peak getting stronger as you
approach the main lobe. The main lobe will always be the strongest.
The size of the beamwidth for the Horizon Compact Plus systems is approximately 2 degrees. Two
degrees is approximately equivalent to a thumb's width when one’s arm is fully extended. Align as closely
to the centre of the 2-degree beamwidth as possible. It takes very little adjustment to swing past the main
lobe, as can be seen in Figure 10-5. A beamwidth of 2 degrees is very narrow and alignment errors can
occur when you lock onto a side lobe instead of onto the main lobe. If you align to one of the side lobes,
your signal strength will be reduced. Make sure you align the system to the main lobe.
Note: Verify the RSL is within 2 – 4 dB of the calculated value.

10.2.3 Sensitivity of the Alignment Adjustment
When performing the RF alignment of the antennas it cannot be over emphasized that you must
rotate the adjustment nut(s) 1/10th of a turn at a time between taking RSL readings (allow time for
the RSL reading to update). Table 10-3 shows how many degrees the antenna will move when the
adjustment nut(s) is rotated through one full turn. Error! Reference source not found.Table 10-1
shows that the beam width of the typical antenna is often less than the amount of movement available
with one full turn of the aiming adjustment.

11.0 Aligning the Antennas
Follow the steps of the alignment procedure shown below. Note: ensure that the CLI command set
alignment on has been entered at both ends of the link if you are using the BNC connector to measure
field strength.
The alignment process is carried out in two stages.
1. Visual alignment of the antennas
2. Radio frequency alignment of the antennas
11.1 Visual Alignment of the Antennas
This section details how to align the Horizon Compact Plus antennas visually.
Procedure 11-1
Align the antennas visually
Before attempting to visually align the Horizon Compact Plus systems, make sure that the aiming
adjustment mechanisms (pan and tilt) on the mounting assembly are set to their mid positions. This
ensures that there is adequate to and fro movement available from the adjustment mechanism for fine
adjustment later. To visually align, loosen the clamping nuts and rotate the mounting assembly clamp on
the mounting pole, then, securely tighten the clamp.
There are three methods that are recommended for visually aligning the systems. In each case the use of
signaling mirrors, on a sunny day, or a powerful flashlight for dull days, may greatly assist in locating the
other end of a link.
1. If the far end site is visible, aim the near end dish/reflector towards the far end site as
accurately as possible. The beamwidth of the signal is approximately 2 degrees (or less), which is
approximately equivalent to a thumb's width when the arm is fully extended. Align as closely to
the centre of the 2-degree beamwidth as possible. Clamp the radio/antenna mounting brackets in
place on the pole/tower torquing the nuts to specification. See Table 11-1 for torque values.
Repeat this for the far end site. This should provide you with a signal strong enough to perform an
accurate alignment later.
2. If the far end site is NOT visible (due to poor visibility), and the site locations appear on a
map, use a large scale map of the area and mark the positions of each end of the link. Draw a
line on the map between each of the ends of the link. Locate a landmark which falls on the line
that is visible from the near end and point the dish/reflector to the landmark. Clamp the
radio/antenna mounting brackets in place on the pole/tower torquing the nuts to specification. See
Table 11-1 for torque values. At the far end of the link locate a second landmark, visible from the
far end, that falls on the line and align the far end dish/reflector to that landmark. Clamp the
mounting bracket as before. The systems should be aligned sufficiently to obtain a signal strong
enough to perform an accurate alignment later.
Table 11-1
Torque Specifications for Antennas
Horizon Compact Plus Release 1.0.1 Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual – Volume 1
Page 71
Preparing for Alignment
Figure 11-1
Aligning Systems Using Local Landmarks
3. If the far end site is NOT visible (due to poor visibility), and there are no visible land marks,
use a GPS unit to obtain accurate coordinates for each end of the link. Plot these on a map of the
area and draw a line between each site. Using a compass, physically align the map so that the
magnetic North compass bearing marked on the map coincides with actual magnetic North
shown on the compass. Use the compass to measure the bearing of the line drawn between each
site relative to magnetic North. At each end of the ink, use this compass bearing to aim your
systems. Clamp the radio/antenna mounting brackets in place on the pole/tower torquing the nuts
to specification. See Table 11-1 for torque values. The systems should be aligned sufficiently to
obtain a signal strong enough to perform an accurate alignment later.

This concludes the steps to align the radios visually.

DragonWave Inc.
Caution
Alignment of the Horizon Compact Plus requires power to be supplied to
the PonE and surge protector unit.
Caution
Proper alignment results in increased signal quality! Once the Horizon
Compact Plus units have been visually aligned, detailed alignment can
begin. Pan across the entire beamwidth to ensure the alignment
corresponds to the main lobe and not to a Side Lobe.
Caution
Transmission of radio signals results in a primary signal (main lobe) and
secondary signals (side lobes) being sent towards the destination.
During installation the side lobes can be mistaken for the main lobe,
resulting in a 20-30 dB loss of signal strength. On a 12” / 30 cm
dish/reflector, the entire beamwidth typically lies within a 5–degree span
so it is critical to ensure alignment targets the main lobe and not the side
lobes. Larger dish/reflectors have a narrower beam. For a 24”/60 cm
dish/reflector, the entire beamwidth lies within a 3–degree span.
Caution
It is possible to get a “peak” reading during the system alignment
process if one or both of the systems is aligned to a side lobe. In such a
case, the measured receive level may be 20 dB or more lower than the
callculated value. Be aware that the link may still function under these
circumstances. If the readings are within 2 - 4 dB of the calculated levels,
then the systems are most likely to be properly aligned.
62
11.2 Radio Frequency (RF) Alignment of the Antennas
This section describes how to perform the RF alignment of the Horizon Compact Plus systems antennas.
Note: The Horizon Compact Plus BNC Field Strength connector serves two purposes. It is used for RF
alignment and for system redundancy purposes. When used for RF alignment it provides an output
voltage of 1 mV DC per dB of signal strength. Connecting a digital voltmeter to this connector will provide
you with a convenient way of measuring field strength and confirming system RF alignment. Use the CLI
command set alignment on press Enter, to enable the field strength measuring option. When used for
redundancy purposes (not supported in this release) ensure that the CLI command set alignment off is
used.
The DragonWave Horizon Compact Plus Web Interface may also be used for RF alignment. From the
Home page, select Tools, then Link Alignment. The RSL readings displayed are continuously updated
and the highest value reached is retained to facilitate the alignment procedure.
When you prepare to align the systems, you must consider the three important factors noted in Section
10.2 and repeated below:
1. The radiation pattern of the Horizon Compact Plus antennas (main lobe and side lobes)
2. The need for a Clear Line of Sight (LOS) and avoiding the Fresnel zone
3. The sensitivity of the alignment adjustment – one tenth of a turn at a time
Horizon Compact Plus Release 1.0.1 Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual – Volume 1
Page 73
Preparing for Alignment
incorrect antenna alignment - aligned to a side lobe and not main lobe
improper polarization of antennas – one end horizontal and the other vertical
path issues - obstructions such as trees, hills, or buildings within the beamwidth
path clearance issues such as diffraction, partial obstruction, Fresnel zone issues
63
Follow the steps of the alignment procedure shown below:
Note: When loosening pan and tilt lock nuts, loosen only enough to allow the mechanism to move freely.
If lock nuts are too loose the antenna will move out of alignment when the lock nuts are re-tightened.
At the first end:
1. Loosen the pan mechanism lock nuts
2. Pan or move the antenna horizontally across the entire range of adjustment to identify
the main lobe and the side lobes. The main lobe is approximately 2 degrees in width
(depends on frequency and antenna size). The two major side lobes are approximately 5
degrees apart. Adjust the antenna to the main lobe (approximately).
3. Tighten the pan mechanism lock nuts and loosen the tilt mechanism lock nuts.
4. Tilt or move the antenna vertically until you receive the strongest RSL reading.
5. Tighten the tilt mechanism lock nuts and loosen the pan mechanism lock nuts.
6. Pan or move the antenna horizontally to locate each of the lobes. Record the RSL
values of each. Select the strongest RSL recorded and readjust the antenna to this
strongest RSL reading.
7. Re-tighten the pan/tilt mechanism lock nuts to lock the antenna in place.

13.0 Horizon Compact Plus Management
The Horizon Compact Plus system can be fully managed locally or remotely. Horizon Compact Plus
supports Telnet access, SNMP management and a Web interface accessible through the IP network.
The entire Command Line Interface (CLI) command set is available through Telnet. The entire list of
system parameters is available through SNMP access. The Web interface provides access to system
configuration and performance parameters. In-band and out-of-band management options are available.
Refer to Volume 2 for detailed system management procedures.
13.1 Alarms List
Use the CLI command get alarms to display a list of active alarms. Alternatively, alarms are listed on the
Alarms page of the Web interface. Active alarms are clearly indicated.
The following list shows the various alarms available:

14.0 Configuration Backup and Restore
Horizon Compact Plus provides a backup and restore facility for system configuration data and user
account data. The backup and restore uses an FTP server to transfer files. It is recommended to have
an FTP server at your network management site for use with the Horizon Compact Plus backup and
restore facilities. Note that the Super User or a noc user level can perform backup and restore functions.
14.1 System Configuration Backup
The Horizon Compact Plus system configuration can be saved to an FTP server as a text file. All system
configuration parameters are backed up, allowing the exact configuration to be replicated.
Log in as the Super User and use the CLI command:
config upload ftp://<ftpUserName>:<ftpPassword>@<ftpServerIp/<hcpConfigFileName>
press Enter.
Where <ftpUserName> is the user name for the ftp server
<ftpPassword> is the ipassword for the ftp server
<ftpServerIp> is the IP address of the ftp server
<hcpConfigFileName> is the name of the configuration file, which can be any name
Note that the above command will save the file in the root directory of the ftp server. Adding the path
information to the file name will allow you to save it in a specific directory on the ftp server.
14.2 System Configuration Restore
The Horizon Compact Plus system configuration can be retrieved from the FTP server on which it was
backed up. All system configuration parameters are restored, allowing the exact configuration to be
replicated.
Log in as the Super User and use the CLI command:
config download ftp://<ftpUserName>:<ftpPassword>@<ftpServerIp>/<hcpConfigFileName>
press Enter
Note that the command shown will retrieve the file from the root directory of the ftp server. Adding the
path information to the file name will allow you to retrieve it from a specific directory on the ftp server.
Configuration files can be edited (see Volume 2 of this manual). If the file is not in its proper format it will
be rejected. If the original file has been modified, the process will prompt for the user to confirm the
change and the user has the option to proceed or cancel the operation. If one of the configuration items
fails to load, the process will try to undo the previous changes. The last failed configured item and the last
failed undo item (if any) will be listed at the end of the process.
After a successful restore, finish with CLI commands save mib and reset system to reboot the system
and activate the restored configuration. Note that reset system is traffic affecting.

Configuration, Backup and Restore
71
14.3 User Accounts Backup
The Horizon Compact Plus system user accounts can be saved to an FTP server. All user account
parameters are backed up, allowing the exact configuration to be replicated.
Use the CLI command: save users ftp:<filename> press Enter
where <filename> is the name of the file to be created on the FTP server. Follow the prompts.
Note that the above command will save the file in the root directory of the ftp server. Adding the path
information to the file name will allow you to save it in a specific directory on the ftp server.
14.4 User Accounts Restore
The Horizon Compact Plus system user accounts can be retrieved from an FTP server. All user account
configuration parameters are restored, allowing the exact configuration to be replicated.
Use the CLI command: copy ftp: <filename> press Enter
where <filename> is the name of the file to restore to the Horizon Compact Plus.
Note that the above command will retrieve the file from the root directory of the ftp server. Adding the path
information to the file name will allow you to retrieve it from a specific directory on the ftp server.

15.0 Software Upgrades
From time to time new software loads are made available that may add new features to the Horizon
Compact Plus system. You can download new software remotely using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). New
modem software and frequency files may also be released. Note that whereas a new software upgrade
may function with an existing frequency file, an upgraded frequency file may not function with an older
software release. Because of this, it is wise to always upgrade software before upgrading to a new
frequency file.
Use the Command Line Interface (CLI) via Telnet and invoke the FTP with either a local FTP server that
is on the same network as the Horizon Compact Plus system, or use the DragonWave FTP server site
available through the Internet. The Horizon Compact Plus can interact with the most popular FTP servers
on a variety of operating systems. Anonymous FTP, as well as a user–supplied username and password
are supported. As an alternative, DragonWave Merlin may be used.
15.1 Upgrade Path
Depending on the software load currently running in the system, there may be a requirement to load more
recent versions before being able to load the latest software version successfully. Frequency file
downloads will also be required to enable all new features. Certain existing features may also need to be
disabled before software downloads are performed in order for them to be successfully upgraded.
Use FTP protocol to download all files (see Section 15.2). If using Merlin, use the FTP Software Upgrade
option. Do NOT use the MAC (layer 2) Protocol option.
Referring to the steps shown in Table 15-1, use the following procedure:
Table 15-1 Software Upgrade Path
15.2 Single System
Log into the system via Telnet and use the CLI command copy ftp: <filename> and press Enter. Where
<filename> is the name of the software load file in the format HorizonCompactPlus_x.y.z. and includes
any path information.
You will be prompted for the IP address of the FTP server. The FTP server will then prompt you for user
name and password.
1. Once the download is complete you will need to use the CLI command save mib and press
Enter. The new software is now saved in non volatile memory, but not yet in use.
2. Note that traffic is not affected during the software download process.
3. To make the new software load active requires the system to be reset. This is traffic
affecting.
4. To activate the new software load use the CLI command reset system and press Enter.
Then press Y. The system will reset and load the new software.

Software Upgrades
73
15.3 Multiple Systems
DragonWave Merlin software can be used to upgrade several systems in a network simultaneously using
FTP..
The number of systems capable of being upgraded simultaneously is limited only by the number of active
FTP sessions allowed by the on-net FTP server.

Appendix B – Safety Information
Safety Information for Radio Equipment
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in ET Docket 96-8, has adopted a safety
standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified
equipment. DragonWave Horizon Compact Plus meets the uncontrolled environmental limits found in
OET-65, ANSI C95.1, 1991 and Health Canada Safety Code 6. Proper operation of this radio according
to the instructions found in this manual or any other product manuals or user guides for the DragonWave
family of products or equipment will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC/IC
recommended limits.
1. Do not touch or move antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
2. Do not hold any component containing the radio in such a way that the antenna is very
close to or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while the
unit is transmitting.
3. Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive
environment unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.
The design of the high-gain mast mount antennas is such that professional installation is required.

que les limites recommandées par la FCC/IC.
1. Ne jamais toucher ou déplacer la ou les antennes lorsque l’appareil fonctionne en mode
de transmission ou de réception.
2. Lorsque l’appareil fonctionne en mode de transmission, tenir les éléments contenant la
radio de manière que l’antenne ne soit pas trop proche des parties du corps exposées
(surtout le visage ou les yeux) ou n’y touche pas.
3. Ne pas faire fonctionner un émetteur transportable à proximité de détonateurs non
protégés ou dans un milieu explosif, à moins qu’il s’agisse d’un émetteur autorisé.
Les antennes à gain élevé montées sur mât sont conçues pour être installées par des professionnels.

Radio Frequency Safety
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed
such that it does not emit RF fields in excess of the general population limits as defined by FCC CFR 47,
Part 2.1091, Radiofrequency radiation exposure evaluation for fixed devices & Health Canada limits for
the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website
www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
RF Radiation Safety Information
The antenna must be located such that humans will not approach within 10m of the forward transmitting
direction of the antenna and 0.46m in all other directions. This distance provides additional safety margin
for the product, as well as minimizing exposure to microwaves.
These calculations were done in accordance with:
1. FCC Radio Frequency Exposure Limits 1.1310
2. Health Canada Safety Code 6 / Industry Canada RSS 102
3. EMF Exposure Directive (99/519/EC)
