Mimosa Client Help Content Mimosa Clients Setup

Default IP Address

Mimosa client radios can be accessed via the wired interface, which can either be set manually to a static IP or

changed dynamically via DHCP.

Notes: The wired Ethernet interface is configured by default to use DHCP with a static failover to the IP

address in the table below.

Value Wired Ethernet

IP Address 192.168.1.20

Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

IP Address Discovery

Run the following command from the command line to discover the IP addresses of any directly connected Mimosa

devices. The string "20:B5:C6" is an Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI), which is the first half of the MAC

address assigned to Mimosa devices. After executing the command, the IP address will be shown for each device.

Windows / DOS:

arp -a | findstr -i 20-B5-C6

Mac / Linux:

arp -a | grep -i 20:B5:C6

No CDP / LLDP Support

Mimosa radios do not respond to either CDP or LLDP at this time.

Mimosa Client Help Content Mimosa Clients Reset Process

Local Device Reset

Product Applicability: C5, C5c

This process is to restore the device to the factory state when the device is physically available.

Follow these steps to reset the radio:

Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the radio.1.

Insert a paper clip into the hole next to the Ethernet port to depress the reset button (see image below).2.

Plug the Ethernet cable back in while holding the reset button down. The green LED will blink slowly after 23.

seconds, and then fast after 4 seconds.

Let go of the reset button when the green LED starts blinking fast.4.

The radio will then reboot for approximately 90 seconds.5.

Connect your computer to the LAN input of the PoE.6.

After factory reset, access the device with the default IP address and password, then follow the unlock process again

before reuse. It is also good practice to create a configuration backup such that it can be restored in the case of lost

passwords.

Finding the Serial Number

The Mimosa serial number is a 10-digit number used to differentiate radios. This unique number is used as

part of the unlock process to ensure genuine product assurance.

There are two ways to find the Serial number on a Mimosa radio:

On the back of the radio, you can find the serial number next to the QR code (see images below).1.

Within the user interface, you can find the serial number on the Dashboard under Device Details.2.

SNR Required for Each MCS

The table below shows the SNR required for each MCS index as well as the modulation, coding and data rate per

stream based on channel width in MHz. Note that each channel uses up to two streams.

Examples:

●

2 x 80 MHz channels operating at MCS 8 with 4 streams would yield 1560 Mbps (390 Mbps * 4 streams).

●

1 x 40 MHz channel operating at MCS 6 with 2 streams would yield 270 Mbps (135 Mbps * 2 streams).

Client FAQ: What is the sensitivity for each MCS index?

Mimosa Client Help Content Mimosa Clients Performance

Error Vector Magnitude (EVM)

The error vector magnitude or EVM describes how well the receiver can detect symbols (data) within a constellation

of symbols on the I-Q plane for a particular modulation. It is the difference in RMS power between the point where a

symbol is received and where the symbol should be. This difference is caused by noise. When analyzing EVM, the

lower the number the better.

EVM (dB) EVM (%) Assessment

0 100.0 Poor

-5 56.2 Poor

-10 31.6 Poor

-15 17.8 OK

-20 10.0 Good

-25 5.6 Good

-30 3.2 Excellent

Quality of Service (QoS) Support

Mimosa radios support four different L2/L3 QoS queues for traffic prioritization. Typically, an upstream router sets

values for CoS (L2), or DSCP/TOS (L3) for specific traffic on the post-routing chain. After packets leave the router,

they enter the radio where the traffic is queued and sent according to the packet marking. While the radio does not

function as a router, it does respect packet markings assigned by the upstream router.

Note that these settings can be set or overridden by either A5 Access Control Lists or Application

Prioritization.

The table below lists the four QoS queues and corresponding prioritization values for various traffic marking

standards.

Traffic Queue

BE 0 0-31 0-7 20

BK 1 32-63 8-15 10

BK 2 64-95 16-23 10

BE 3 96-127 24-31 20

VI 4 128-159 32-39 30

VO 6 192-223 48-55 40

VO 7 224-255 56-63 40

where,

BK = Background (lowest priority)

BE = Best Effort

VI = Video

VO = Voice (highest priority)

IEEE P802.1p (VLAN CoS Priority)

TOS DSCP

Mimosa Weighting

(% of capacity)

Mimosa QoS Weighting

Mimosa radios dynamically allocate link capacity by expanding or contracting each traffic queue based on the

current mix of marked traffic. If there is no traffic in a particular queue, that capacity is divided between the other

queues according to their relative weights. Unmarked traffic is processed in the Best Effort (BE) queue by default.

Enclosure Ratings

The IP is short for International Protection Marking described in IEC standard 60529. This standard classifies and

rates the degree of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects and liquids into electrical enclosures.

The two numbers that follow are used to specify the degree of protection. The higher the number, the better the

protection. The first number refers to protection against solid objects. The second number refers to protection

against against liquids.

IP55 (C5)

●

The 5 rating means that the enclosure allows some dust to enter, but not in sufficient quantity to interfere with satisfactory operation of the equipment.

●

The 5 rating means that the enclosure is protected against the effect of water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against the enclosure from any direction.

Mounting Hardware

Product Applicability: C5, C5c

Mounting hardware is provided standard for the C5.

The C5 hardware is made from stainless steel, including the hose clamp and ground screw.

FlexiMount and J-Mount

Both the FlexiMount and J-Mount are Steel, Zinc-plated, and powder-coated white. The included hardware is

galvanized Steel.

Power over Ethernet Specifications

Voltage Specifications

Mimosa radios require 48 volts, but they accept an input range of 44 to 57 volts on a wide variety of pin combinations. An input voltage of -48 Vdc is also acceptable. The Mimosa PoE for C5 provides 56 volts on 2 pairs of wires so there is less voltage drop over long cable runs up to 100 m (328 feet).

C5 radios are compatible with

passive

PoE only. Do not use an 802.3at or 802.3af PoE with C5.

Reverse Polarity Protection

All Mimosa radios include a diode bridge circuit which corrects for reverse polarity on the power inputs, and

improves compatibility with 3rd-party PoE injectors and switches that meet the power specifications2.

Table 1 below shows valid combinations of +VE and -VE to the B5/B5c on either 2 or 4 wire pairs. All of the

codes. There is no surge protection on the C5, PoE or G2, and only the C5 and NID have metal shielded

Ethernet inputs. While the Ethernet cable shield can behave like a ground (and many service providers treat it

as such), it is not a code-compliant grounding solution for surge currents as the cross-sectional area does not

have the current carrying capacity of a larger ground wire that would normally be specified for building safety.

The NID also serves as a demarcation point for the external portion of service, and provides outdoor technician2.
