faulty product. This means failure analysis on said product will not be performed and reported to customers. All
failed units will be bagged and tagged so they can be revisited in the event that FreeWave experiences a high
degree of failures or a trend. At which time, FreeWave will perform a root-cause analysis and take the appropriate
corrective actions. Any visual or external damage noted on returned units will be communicated back to customers
and may void the warranty, at which time, a Purchase Order (PO) will be requested from the customer for product
replacement

In no event will FreeWave Technologies, Inc., its suppliers, or its licensors be liable for any damages arising from
the use of or inability to use this Product. This includes business interruption, loss of business information, or other
loss which may arise from the use of this Product. OEM customer’s warranty periods can vary.

Warranty Policy will not apply in the following circumstances:

1. If Product repair, adjustments, or parts replacements are required due to accident, neglect, or undue
physical, electrical, or electromagnetic stress.

2. If Product is used outside of FreeWave specifications as stated in the Product's data sheet.

3. If Product has been modified, repaired, or altered by Customer unless FreeWave specifically authorized
such alterations in each instance in writing. This includes the addition of conformal coating.

Certified Antennas

A WavePoint™ can have multiple radio modules installed, each potentially operating at different
frequencies. The model number reflects the number and frequency of the radios installed inside the

WavePoint™ device and determines the type of antennas that can be used.

Important: The use of an antenna with a higher gain or a different type of antenna

other than those approved requires new FCC approval and should not be used.

Antenna Installation Warning

Important: This section provides the required FCC warning information for working

in proximity of the WavePoint™ antennas.

1. All antenna installation and servicing must be performed by qualified technical personnel
only.

a. When servicing the antenna, or working at distances closer than those listed below,

verify the transmitter has been disabled.

b. Output is measured at the antenna terminal of the transmitter.

c. The antennas used for the WavePoint™ must be fixed-mounted on outdoor

permanent structures to provide the minimum separation distances described in this
filing for satisfying RF exposure compliance requirements.

d. When applicable, RF exposure compliance may need to be addressed at the time of

licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureaus, including antenna co-location
requirements of §1.1307(b)(3).

2. Typically, the antenna connected to the transmitter is a directional (high gain) antenna,
fixed-mounted on the side or top of a building, or on a tower.

a. Depending upon the application and the gain of the antenna, the total composite power

could exceed 20 watts EIRP.

b. The antenna location must only be accessible by qualified technical personnel.

c. Under normal operating conditions, no other person can touch the antenna or

approach within 3.05 meters of the antenna.

Note: These antennas have been approved for use with WavePoint 10e and the

designated Tx Streams.

Antenna Installation

Antennas must be professionally installed on a fixed, mounted, and permanent structure to satisfy
RF exposure requirements.

Warning! Any antenna placed outdoors must be properly grounded. Use
extreme caution when installing antennas and follow ALL manufacturer
instructions included with the antenna.
Mise en garde ! Toute antenne placée à l'extérieur doit être correctement
mise à la terre. Soyez très prudent lors de l'installation d'antennes et suivre
toutes les instructions du fabricant fournies avec l'antenne.

Per FCC regulations, any antenna used with transceivers must be an approved antenna that has
comparable performance parameters.

Placement Considerations

Placement of the WavePoint 10e is likely to have a significant impact on its performance. The key to
the overall robustness of the RF link is the height and alignment of the antenna. Other antennas in
close proximity are a potential source of interference. See Diagnostics and Troubleshooting on page

147 for more information.

FreeWave Recommends: In general, FreeWave units with a higher antenna placement have a
better communications link.
Use grid and dish antennas with low attenuation cable in lengths ranging from 3 to 100 feet.

To help optimize an antenna location, have FreeWave complete a free Path Site
study.
Contact a FreeWave sales representative for a Path Study form.
Email the completed form to [e-mail].

WavePoint 10e

Transmit Power Settings

The Transmit Power parameter is the output power of the transceiver.

Important: The information in this section describes the FCC maximum Equivalent

Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) regulations.
The transceiver output power level must be set to satisfy the maximum requirements
in the country the WavePoint 10e is installed in.
The installer is responsible for ensuring that an installation is within EIRP emission
limits.

When setting up the network, consider the power gain that an antenna may add and the power loss
through cabling. Adjust the Transmit Power on the transceiver so it does NOT exceed the
maximum EIRP for the regulating body where WavePoint 10e is installed. Use the tables to
determine the correct Transmit Power parameter setting for each transceiver in the network.

When calculating the power gain, use Equation 1 to determine the total output power at the
antenna.

Transceiver Output – Losses + Antenna Gain = Output Antenna Power

Equation 1

Note: Loss calculations should include cable, connectors, surge protectors, etc.

RF Loss

Cable losses for high frequency systems are one of the main losses to consider in Equation 1.

This table shows the RF loss at various cable lengths.

Example: Using the information in the table, a cable as short as 25 feet can have an
attenuation of almost 1dB.

RF Considerations for 2.4GHz ISM Band

The FCC regulations for 2.4GHz ISM Band are different for Point-to-Point (PTP) and Point-to-Multi­Point (PtMP) links.

Peak Power Output

The maximum peak output power of the intentional radiator cannot exceed 1.000 Watts.

Digital Transmission Systems (MHz) Output Limit (Watts)

Important: Point-to-Point applications operating in the 2400-2483.5MHz band may

employ transmitting antennas with directional gain greater than 6dBi provided the
maximum peak output power of the intentional radiator is reduced by 1dB for every
3dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6dBi.

WavePoint 10e

Example:

2.4GHz with a 24 inch dish has a maximum output of 24dBm.

2.4GHz with a 27 inch dish has a maximum output of 23dBm.

Point-to-Point Link

Note: The FCC permits a maximum of 36dBm EIRP when using a transmitter set to

30dBm.
However, for each 1dBm reduction in the transmitter power, the FCC permits an
increase in antenna gain of 3dBi.

Extrapolating this rule through different maximum power settings on the WavePoint™ provides
these guidelines.

WavePoint 10e

Reserving IP Addresses

If a WavePoint 10e is used in the network as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses, reserve part of
the IP address range for devices within the network for statically assigned IP addresses in the
network.

When the WavePoint 10e receives a request from an IP address from a device in the network, it
compares the hardware address to the MAC addresses saved in the reserved IP addresses list.

l If a match exists, the WavePoint 10e assigns the requesting device the saved IP

addresses.

l If a match is NOT found, the WavePoint 10e assigns the requesting device an IP address

from the range set in the LAN setup page.

Binding an IP Address to a MAC Address

If the WavePoint 10e is configured as a DHCP server, and there are devices that connect to it that
require static IP addresses, the device can be set to assign the same address to those devices each
time they connect using IP MAC address binding.

Binding an IP address assignment to a single MAC address replicates a static IP
address, but is managed from a single location without having to physically assign
each device in the network a static IP.

As data flows through the network, if the WavePoint 10e sees packets with a mismatch in the IP
address or MAC address, it drops the packets.

Data Routing

Note: Data routing applies to networks with more than two devices.

Data can be defined how it is routed between the LAN and WAN in the network using:

l static (fixed) routes.

l the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) which defines a dynamic route based on the

number of hops to get to a network location.

Defining Static Routing Rules

A static route is a fixed path defined on a router that is added to the routing table. When there is a
change in the network or a failure occurs between two network devices with static routing rules, data
does not reroute through a different path.

Note: Static routes are typically used in small networks or for lower bandwidth WAN

links.
If the network is large, Static Routing is likely not optimal because each route and
any redundant path information has to be added to each device in the network

Defining Routing Internet Protocol Rules

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) sends complete routing table information out to all active
interfaces every 30 seconds and uses the hop count to determine the fastest way to reach a remote
network.

RIP is typically used in larger networks because:

l routing table information is updated from a router automatically.

l it does not require manual updates of routing information at each location in the network

when a device is added or replaced.

The selected RIP version is dependent on the requirements for the specific network and whether the
routing table information is sent as a broadcast or a multicast.

Note: WavePoint 10e supports both RIPv1 and RIPv2.

Configuring Wireless Communication

Each WavePoint 10e is configured with at least one radio for wireless communication. Using the
basic wireless settings, a WavePoint 10e can be configured as:

l a wireless Access Point (AP) in the network that other wireless devices communicate with

that have the same 802.11 adapter settings and are within range.

l a Repeater to extend the range of the network or as a Client at the ending point within the

network topology.

The basic instructions apply to all radio configurations, regardless of network topography.

Note: Verify the SSID, security method and security keys, channel, channel width, and

802.11 mode are set the same on all devices in a wireless network to establish a
link.
By default, all WavePoint 10e devices are shipped with the same SSID and
Security Key and will connect automatically.

5. In the Mode field, select the 802.11 Modulation Scheme to transmit packets from this

radio.

6. Complete these radio settings using the fields provided:

7. Select the frequency Channel the radio is set to broadcast and receive data on.

Select Auto to let the system determine the best channel within the
frequency band to use based on the environmental noise levels for the
available channels.

8. Select the Channel Width (spacing) setting for the radio.
The Channel Width is specific to 802.11n traffic.

9. In the Tx Antennas field, select the number of transmit antennas to use.

Note: If the WavePoint 10e in use does not support MIMO, set this field to 1 to

indicate a single transmit antenna.

10. In the Rx Antennas field, select the number of transmit antennas to use.

Note: If the WavePoint 10e in use does not support MIMO, set this field to 1 to

indicate a single transmit antenna.

11. In the Rate field, select the rate that governs the transmission speed the radio uses after a

wireless link is negotiated.

Note: The mode or modulation scheme and the number of transmit antennas in

use determine the available settings.

Setting the rate to Auto allows the WavePoint 10e to determine the optimal
rate to use based on environment conditions.

Notes

With WavePoint 10e:

l 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz, when running 802.11n, can use a maximum of three antennas.

l 900 MHz can use only one antenna with a second antenna configured for Diversity.

l If the Tx Antenna field is set to 1 or only a single antenna is detected, the 802.11n

MCS index values in the drop-down menu range from 0 to 7.

l If the Tx Antenna field is set to 2, the 802.11n MCS index values in the drop-down

menu range from 0 to 15.

WavePoint 10e

l If the Tx Antenna field is set to 3, the 802.11n MCS index values in the drop-down

menu range from 0 to 23.

12. Select the maximum Parent Rate to use when connecting to the upstream device

(Repeater or Access Point).
This parameter is applicable to the WavePoint 10e set as either a Repeater or Client.

Note: The available Parent Rate parameters are the same as in those available

in the Rate field.

13. Select the radio's Transmit Power in dBm, based on the radio's intrinsic power range.

When testing at a facility and devices are close in proximity to one another,
set the Transmit Power parameter to a low number.
When deploying the WavePoint 10e to the field, raise the Transmit Power
number accordingly.

14. Set the N only Mode option to On if legacy (802.11b or 802.11g) clients are NOT to

connect to this radio.
Selecting On ensures that the radio's bandwidth is only available for clients connecting at

802.11n rates.

15. Set the Enable AMSDU option to Off to optimize throughput for small sized data packets.

The 802.11n protocol uses this option to aggregate small size TCP packets.

Note: Small frames with the same physical source and destinations are combined

to a larger frame to improve overall throughput by cutting down transmission
overhead.

16. Use the Power Constraint field to limit the maximum power that an Access Point or

Repeater uses to communicate upstream.
The setting in this field does not change the transmit power for downstream
communications.

Example: Using this topography:

The Transmit Power in the Access Point and Repeater is set to 31 dBm and is
used for transmissions from the Access Point to the Repeater and from the
Repeater to the Client (endpoint).
The Repeater has a power constraint setting of 10 dBm, so transmission

upstream from the Repeater to the Access Point are reduced to 10 dBm.
This parameter is applicable only for radios set Access Point and Repeater
mode.

17. Enter the DTIM Interval that determines how often the Access Point sends notification of

the buffered data.

Note: A delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) is a map that informs

Repeaters and Clients about the presence of buffered multicast/broadcast

data on the Access Point waiting to be sent.

18. In the RTS Threshold field, enter the packet size in bytes that requires the WavePoint

10e to check the transmitting frames to determine if a Request to Send (RTS)/Clear to

Send (CTS) handshake is required with the receiving Client.
The default value is 2346, which effectively disables RTS.

Using a small value causes the device to send RTS packets more often,
consuming more of the available bandwidth; therefore, reducing the
apparent throughput of the network packets.

19. In the Max Range field, enter, in kilometers, the distance between this WavePoint 10e

and the farthest away device it is linking to.
The maximum is 2 times the distance (2x Distance).

20. Select the Country the WavePoint 10e is installed in.

21. Click Save to save the changes or Cancel to clear any changes without saving.

Enabling Virtual Access Points

A Virtual Access Point (VAP) is similar to a VLAN, but in a wireless environment. VAPs are a way to
segment a wireless network so a single AP presents itself in the network as multiple APs.

Connecting wireless Repeaters or Clients see a VAP as a unique and independent AP while it is
actually a single, physical AP in the network.

Using VAPs offer these advantages:

l Differing levels of security across the VAPs.

l Isolate portions of the wireless network.

A single WavePoint 10e can be used for multiple purposes, providing cost savings
and simplicity in designing the network.

Each radio in the WavePoint 10e can have a maximum of three VAPs enabled. Each VAP enabled
on a single radio uses the settings set for the radio in the Wireless LAN > Radios > Basic and

Wireless LAN > Radios > Advanced pages.

Note: Enabling VAPs can impact the overall throughput available for a radio.

Procedure

Defining EAP Authentication and External RADIUS Servers

In wireless communications using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), users request
connection to the wireless network through a WavePoint 10e. The WavePoint 10e then requests
the user's identity and sends that identity to the RADIUS authentication server.

If WPA-Enterprise is selected as the wireless security option in the Wireless LAN > Radios >
Basic menu, a RADIUS server must be defined to authenticate and authorize users and devices to
access the wireless network.

Note: A RADIUS server is an external server that provides authentication for devices

and users trying to access the wireless network.

Chapter 5: Security

This chapter discusses these options for securing the traffic in the network:

l Firewall setup including policies, rules, and scheduling.

l RADIUS server setup.

Firewall Overview

Inbound rules govern access from the WAN to the LAN. Using firewall rules allows only specified
local resources to be accessed from the Internet.

By default, all access from the Internet is blocked from accessing the secure LAN, except in
response to requests from the LAN. Outbound (LAN to WAN) rules restrict access to traffic leaving
the network, selectively allowing only specific local users to access outside resources.

Firewall Basic Policies

Default Outbound Policy

This configuration determines whether LAN users can access the Internet in the absence of specific
allowed outbound rules.

Use Allow Always as the default outbound policy to permit any outbound traffic to
pass through the firewall and reach the WAN.
