Installing WHiSP

Mount your WHiSP radio in a location where it is facing the transmitting tower

- Plug the power adapter’s Ethernet patch into your PC Ethernet port.

- Connect an Ethernet cable between the other side of the power adapter Ethernet patch
and the RJ45 socket on the WHiSP SM.

- See the section on “Aligning your WHiSP” in the trouble shooting section of this
manual to insure best performance.

- IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements,
the following antenna installation and device operating configurations must be
satisfied. The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Installers and end ­users must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter
operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

Configuring your computer

Your PC will not require any special setup beyond proper installation of Ethernet drives
& drivers. Configuration of your computer’s TCP/IP parameters will be specified by
your ISP. However, you will need to temporarily configure your computer’s TCP/IP
parameters in order to configure your WHiSP radio.

Configuring your Windows 98 computer

These instructions are for Windows98 and
presume you have already installed your
Ethernet card or Network Interface Card (NIC),
and have installed TCP/IP protocols. If these
are not yet installed, they must be installed
before proceeding.

To temporarily reconfigure your TCP/IP
protocol to configure your WHiSP radio, first
begin by RIGHT clicking on the Network
Neighborhood icon on your desktop. A side
menu appears, and you must LEFT click on the
bottom item labeled “Properties”.

Presuming your Network Interface Card
(NIC) or Ethernet card is already
installed along with the TCP/IP protocol,
you will see both under the list of
network components installed.

Click the TCP/IP protocol item in the
component list to highlight it, and then
click on the “Properties” button.

This will bring up the TCP/IP Properties
screen shown next.

In order to configure your WHiSP radio,
you must temporarily assign a fixed IP
address to your computer.

Click the radial “Specify an IP address” so
that a dot appears. Then you may enter a
temporary IP address and subnet mask.
Enter the IP address 192.168.100.4, and
subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

You may then click OK, and OK again to
the Network Properties dialog. Your
computer will copy some Windows install
files, and may ask for the Windows CD if
Windows install files (called CAB files)
were not copied to your hard drive at
installation time.

Your computer will typically indicate that
it needs to reboot before the settings take
effect. You will need to reboot before
proceeding to configure your WHiSP radio.

After configuring and alignment of your WHiSP radio, follow the service provider
instructions for returning your TCP/IP properties to “Obtain an IP address
automatically” or other “specific IP address” assigned value as instructed. Expect your
system to reinstall files (or ask for the Windows CD if CAB files are not copied on your
hard drive) and request reboot each time TCP/IP parameters are changed. You may
return your TCP/IP parameters to the specific temporary IP address at any time to review
or reconfigure your WHiSP radio.
