August, 2005

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED

The 6900 Series must be installed as a system by experienced antenna installation prof es sionals who
are familiar with Radio Frequenc y ( RF) issues such as gains and loss es, as well as local building and
safety codes. Failure to do so will void the product warrant y and may expose the end user to excessive
RF hazard.
Regulations regarding maximum antenna gains, power output and maximum permissible exposure
vary from country to country. It is the responsibility of the end user to operate within the limits of these
regulations and to ensure that the professional installers who install this device ar e awar e of t hese
regulations. All antennas are inten d ed t o be installed outdo or s.

MICROWAVE RADIO RADIATION WARNING
When in stalled prop erly, the 6900 Series radio equipment complies with the limits for h u man exposure
to radio frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All
KINGWAVE microwave radio equipment is designed so that under normal working conditions,
microwave radiation directl y from t he r adio is neg ligible when compared with the permissible limit of
continuous daily exposure recommended in the United States by ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1991 (R1997), Safety
Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

Microwave signal levels that give r ise to hazar dous r ad iation levels can exist within transmitter power
amplifiers, associated RF multiplexers, and antenna systems. Do not

disconnect RF coaxial connectors,

open microwave units, or break down any microwave screening while the radio equipment is operating.

Chapter 4 Choosing a Mounting Location

4.1 Antenna Polarization

The integrated antenna radiates and recei ve s vertically polarized radio signals. Polarization helps
reduce interference because the antenna tends to reject cross-polarized signals from other
sources.

a. Polarization is the same. (Correct)

Good Good

b. Polarization is different. (No correct)

Bad Bad

24

4.2 Antenna Radiation Angle

The range of Antenna Radiation has angles, not all around.

4.3 Signal Path Clearance (Fresnel Zone)

The Fresnel Zone is the area around the visual line-of-sight that radio waves spread out into
after they leave the antenna. You want a clear line of sight to maintain signal strength,
especially for 2.4 GHz wireless systems.

25

4.4 Multi-Path Fading

Because a 6900 Series typically transmits its strongest signals in a cone-shaped pattern,
some of the signal may be reflected from a nearby building, from water unde r the sig nal path,
or from other RF reflectors. This reflected signal can then be received by the far- end 6900
series and superimposed on the main signal, usually degrading the sig nal stre ngth.

4.5 Relationship between data rate and distance

With increasing of distance, data rate (throughput) will decrease.

Appendix B – 6900 Series Access Point /Bridge

Configuration

Configuring the Access Point

This Access Point supports Client, AP, Repeater and Bridge modes. “Client Mode” is used to let a network
device with only wired Ethernet function to have wireless LAN communication capability. It provides both
Ad Hoc and Infrastructure modes for the “Station Mode”. With “Station-Ad Hoc mode”, it can let your
network device join a wireless LAN with peer-to-peer communication. With “Station-Infrastructure mode”, it
can let your network device join a wireless LAN through an access point. “AP Mode” provides pure access
point function. The simplest way to build up a wireless LAN is to use “AP Mode”. If you want a repeater to
bridge with another reapter and provide connection service for other wireless station at the same time, you
have to set the access point to “Repeater mode”. You can use two access points with “P2P mode” to bridge
two wired Ethernet networks together. If you want to bridge more than two wired Ethernet networks together,
you have to use enough access points with “PMP mode”. An access point with “P2P mode” or “PMP mode”
can only be used to bridge wired Ethernet networks together. It can’t accept connection from other wireless
station at the same time.

Client Mode configuration

It is used to let a network device with only wired Ethernet function to have wireless LAN
communication capability. It provides both Ad Hoc and Infrastructure modes for the “Client

peer-to-peer communication. With “Infrastructure mode”, it can let your network device join
a wireless LAN through an access point.

Preamble Type

Click Apply button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now

The period of time that this access point broadcast a beacon. Beacon is
used to synchronize the wireless network.
When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the access point will
not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
This is the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A
DTIM field is a countdown field informing stations of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Access Point
has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated stations, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Stations for the Access
Point hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
multicast messages.
It provides best performance for 11g transmission when you enable it.

When you enable the station mode selection to “802.11b” and it allows
you to select the speed of 1-11Mbps. When you enable the station mode
selection to “802.11g” and it allows you to select the speed of 1-54Mbps.
Preamble type defines the length of preamble block in the frames during
the wireless communication.
Auto select: It will auto switch to the more suitable method.
Short: It is suitable for high traffic wireless network
Long: It can provide more reliable communication
