FIGURE 3 – INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1.

Unpack the mounting hardware from the box. Determine if this will be a pole or wall mount application.
The included Mounting kit is designed to support poles up to 2 in (5.8 cm) in diameter. If surface or wall-mounting, additional
hardware will be required.

Step 2.

A. Route the RJ45 connectorized Ethernet cable through the

weather tight gland connection as shown at left.

Note: The slit rubber washer allows a pre-terminated

Ethernet cable to be used.

Once the cable has been routed through the weather

connection as shown above, push the split rubber gasket
into place and loosely screw the cap that goes over the
rubber washer.

Step 3.

Slide the weather proof assembly over the cable so it can be
screwed into the enclosure gland. Make sure the rubber sealing
ring is in place as shown in step 3A.

Tighten the weather proof assembly into the enclosure and also
tighten the cap that squeezes the rubber washer over the Ethernet
cable as shown.

Step 4.

A. Connect one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the OUT

port of the Power Injection Module (PIM) and the other end
to LAN of the access point.

Maximum length of the RJ-45 CAT5 cable is 100 meters.*

B. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet cable attached to the PIM to a

network device, such as to a switch or to the PC you will use
to configure the access point.

C. Connect the power adaptor to the main electrical supply

and the power plug into the socket of the PIM.

PoE power input: Passive PoE (range 36 to 48 VDC).
The GW1 can also be powered by a suitable IEEE 802.3af/at
PSE device such as a PoE switch or injector.

D. A Drip Loop is recommended as additional precaution

against moisture entering the Access Point housing.

* Up to 200mW radio. For higher power radio upgrade to higher rating

power adapter.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Shielded outdoor CAT 5 or better should be used for all out of plant Ethernet connection and should be properly grounded
through the PoE AC ground. Industrial grade shielded Ethernet cable is recommended to help prevent ESD damage commonly
experienced with outdoor installations.

CONFIGURING GWAVE

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the port labelled as IN on the power Injection Module to either a laptop or a PC LAN port.

2. Connect the second Ethernet cable from the OUT port on the Power Injection Module to the GWave LAN port.

3. Apply 48 VDC to the Power Injection Module with the provided power supply. You should notice the green LED illuminate in
the Power Injection Module and the power LED on the GWave unit.

4. Set the IP address of the laptop being used to configure GWave to static and the subnet to 192.168.10.x/24 subnet.

5. Point the Browser to 192.168.10.100 for the Access Point or 192.168.10.101 for the Client. These are the default addresses.

6. A login prompt will pop up. Enter:
ID: admin
Password: admin

7. Select the NETWORK » Interfaces tab, click on Edit in the LAN settings section to change the IP address of the device. and set
the desired network settings.

• Hit Save & Apply
NOTE: This will be the network address for the GWave web server. It is not necessary to set to the same subnet as the

operating network but it is recommended.

8. Select the NETWORK -> WIFI tab and set:

• Wireless mode – Set to AP or Client

• Output RF power – if RSSI is greater than -40, it is recommended to reduce RF TX power at the connected remote node.

• Set SSID – if changing from the default setting

• Channel Spectrum Width – May want to reduce to 20M from the default 20/40M if the 5GHz spectrum is crowded or
connections across the link are unstable.

• Wireless Security – if changing from default settings

• Hit Save & Apply

CONFIGURING MAC LOCK FOR POINT TO POINT LINKS

MAC-Filter replaces MAC-Lock on the first generation GWave hardware.

MAC-Filter is only available on devices operating as an AP. By default, it is disabled.

You can locate MAC-Filter tab by going to Networking -> WIFI -> Enable.

To enable and lock to a client radio, Click on the drop down menu and select “Allow Listed Only”.

A new dialog box will appear. Click on the new bland dialog box and click on customer, enter the MAC address of the client

radio you would like to MAC lock to and hit “Save & Apply”.

UNDERSTANDING RSSI AND SIGNAL STRENGTH

The Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is intended to be used as an indicator of the quality of connection that exists
between an Access Point and Client radio.

The RSSI value is determined by the Signal Strength.

Signal Strength is based on a number of factors, including the output power of the radios, antenna gain and the attenuation of the
signal as it travels from the transmitter to the receiver.

Signal strength is expressed in dBm. dBm is a power ratio in decibels (dB) referenced to 1mW. Since most received signal levels
are under 1mW, negative values are typically displayed. The more negative the number, the weaker the received signal.

The following can be used as a guideline to determine signal quality

RSSI Signal Quality

Less than -75 to -95 dBm No Signal or intermittent operation

-75 dBm and greater Moderate Connection

-65 dBm and greater Solid Connection

-55 to Zero dBm Excellent Connection

RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULT

Press and hold the reset button for 4-30 Seconds to reset the radio back to factory defaults.

Note: A simple press of the reset button will restart the radio. Holding the reset button for

longer than 30 seconds will not do anything.
Whenever the reset button is pressed, the power LED will go dark.
