Recommandations à suivre impérativement

ATTENTION NE PAS METTRE SOUS TENSION SANS QUE L’EQUIPEMENT NE SOIT RACCORDE A UNE

ANTENNE VERIRIEE OU A UNE CHARGE FICTIVE DE 0.5 à 5 WATTS 50 OHMS SELON LE TYPE DE
MODEM.

ATTENTION A LA POLARITE DU 48 VDC NE PAS UTILISER DE POE AUTRE QUE CELUI FOURNI.

Attention, vérifiez en vous connectant aux antennes préinstallées, avec l'aide d'un analyseur de
spectre à mémoire que le canal radio que vous allez choisir dans la bande utilisée (330-370, 445-505
MHz , 4.4-5.0 GHz, 4.8-6.2 GHz) n'est pas occupé par une porteuse d'un niveau supérieur à -70 dBm
(par exemple -60 dBm est un niveau supérieur à -70 dBm) dans tous les cas choisir la zone de votre

canal ou les niveaux parasites mesurés sont les plus faibles.

o Attention certains modèles ont pour le pointage et a la place des écouteurs un

Barled indiquant sur la CPE le niveau auquel est reçu le CPE par la station de base
distante, si le pointage est fait par une seule personne qui doit se déplacer d'un point
a un autre il faudra inverser les fonctions base station et CPE lors du pointage afin de
bénéficier du visuel du barled sans avoir a se déplacer du côté opposé. Si le pointage
est fait par deux personnes en liaison radio la personne coté "base sation"
demandera a la personne coté CPE quel est l'affichage obtenu selon le pointage
azimutal en cours.

o Attention de ne pas pointer sur un lobe secondaire de l'antenne.

2-4 Hardware Installation

The 300MHz UHF band 2x2 MIMO HT‐OFDM radio is a radio device, so it is susceptible to common
causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure
the best possible performance:

 IF there is any other 300MHz RF device deployed around the outdoor radio, try to set the channel to

the non-overlapping one.

Hardware Installation Figure

 Install the bridge at a height sufficient place where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio

signals to and from the unit. A clear line-of-sight path can guarantee the performance of the RF link.

Site Surveys

Clear and flat area provide better RF range and data rate, on the contrary, physical obstructions such
as trees, electric tower, hills or buildings can reduce the performance of RF devices. Do not deploy
your radios in the location where there is any obstacle between the antennas.

Configure and verify the 300 MHz UHF 2x2 MIMO HT-OFDM MESH Radio operations first before you

mount the radio in a remote location.

Power Over Ethernet Injector is not a waterproof unit, should not be exposed to outdoor without
any protection.

3-2 Mesh Protocol Configuration

www.hypercable.fr - www.e-rake.us.com

26

Mesh Protocol: You can Enable or Disable Mesh Routing protocol here.

Mesh Ports: Enable Mesh Protocol per interfaces. When the interfaced been checked, it has to connect to

the other port with same mesh protocol. Otherwise, the connection will be failed. But the Ethernet port with
Auto Detect can auto detect the protocol and get link automatically.

Mesh Network ID: All mesh nodes in the same network must have the same ID.

Hello interval time (1~10s): Time between Hello packets sent by the router on this interface. This value

should be same for all interfaces connected to common network. The default value is 2 seconds.

Topology Control interval Time (1~20s): Topology Control message interval time. Topology control protocols
are designed to exploit node density in the network to extend the network lifetime and provide connectivity.
The following criteria have been identified as the key concepts for designing topology control protocols for
wireless sensor networks.

1. Sensor nodes should be able to self-configure to accommodate changing network dynamics.

2. Selection of redundant nodes should be done based on distributed localized algorithms.

3. Topology control protocols must ensure minimum connectivity in the network, so that the network is

not partitioned.

4. Topology control protocols should take advantage of the high node density in large-scale wireless

sensor networks to reduce the energy dissipated in the network.

Maximum Hops (1~30): Define the max repeating hops in the mesh network.

Acceptable RSSI (-50~-90dBm): This RSSI threshold is an important reference parameter to decide to hold

the link between the Mesh nodes or change to other better optional path.

Probe interval time: Configuring the Time Interval between Probes.

Hybrid model: Client mode

Hybrid model: Client mode can connect to Client-server model: Server mode, Hybrid
model: Server mode and Unstructured peer to peer mode.

Wireless Network Name (SSID):

Mesh nodes, Base station and CPEs in same network must have the same network name.

Modulation: HT-OFDM, high throughput OFDM modulation.
RF Bandwidth: Decide bandwidth of Radio Frequency. Including 2.5 / 3 / 3.5 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7/ 8 / 10 /

MHz, default is 5 MHz.

Channel / Frequency: Set the operation frequency of the radio.
TX Rate Range: Here you can setup the min. Rate and max. Rate of the Tx Rate range.

TX Power: Setting power of TX, default is Max.

Coverage Range: The max. coverage range value will be changed by the channel BW, less channel

BW can transmit longer distance. Set the proper coverage range parameters is helpful to get the
stable link.
RTS Threshold: “Request to send” is the optional mechanism used by the 802.11 wireless networking
protocol to reduce frame collisions introduced by the hidden node problem. Set the packet size to
trigger RTS/CTS enable. This is normally set in base station side only because the hidden station

www.hypercable.fr - www.e-rake.us.com

30

problem does not exit from the perspective of the AP. RTS Threshold can be set between 256 - 2346
bytes.
A-MPDU Aggregation: Aggregate MAC Service Data Unit. The concept of A-MPDU aggregation is to
join Multiple MPDU sub frames with a single leading PHY header. A key difference from A-MSDU
aggregation is that A-MPDU functions after the MAC header encapsulation process. This method
offer higher MAC throughput compare to A-MSDU.
A-MSDU Aggregation: Aggregate MAC Protocol Data Unit. The concept of A-MSDU is to allow
multiple MSDUs to be sent to the same receiver concatenated in a single MPDU. This supporting
function for A-MSDU within 802.11n is mandatory at the receiver. Due to Destination Address (DA)
and sender Address (SA) in the sub-frame header must match to same receiver address (RA) and the
transmitter address (TA) in the MAC header, A-MSDU cannot be used for broadcast & multicast.

Short Guard Interval (SGI): The guard interval is the space between symbols (characters)
being transmitted. Adding time between symbol transmissions allows these echoes and
reflections to settle in before the next symbol is transmitted. In normal 802.11 operations,
the guard interval is 800ns. In good link condition without interferences, enable the short
guard interval will short the time between symbol transmissions into 400ns to enhance the
efficiency of data transmission.

Transmission Antenna: There are 3 antenna options for selection

Receiving Antenna: Same as Transmission Antenna, there are 3 antenna options for selection too.
