The user can select any of the registered Canopy SM Units currently
registered on this Canopy AP Unit for purposes of Link Testing or
accessing the Canopy SM Unit configuration web pages over the radio link.
Configuring your Canopy AP Units for a Multiple AP Unit Site
- All Canopy AP radios come pre-configured with the same default IP
address, 169.254.1.1. When mounting multiple Canopy AP radios
together at a site, they should first be reconfigured to different
individual IP addresses, or it will not be possible to individually
address them later.
- Use a Windows laptop or
CANOPY
AP
computer configured for a
dynamic IP address.
Startup the laptop with no
Ethernet connection. This
automatically assigns a
compatible IP address to
the laptop in the 169.254
Ethernet
Cable
subnet.
- Connect a straight-thru
AC Adapter
Ethernet cable from the
power-adapter Ethernet
patch to the RJ45 socket on the Canopy AP. Plug the AC adapter into
an AC outlet. Connect the other side of the power adapter’s Ethernet
patch into your PC Ethernet port.
- Using a web browser, go to the default URL (http://169.254.1.1) to
access the Canopy AP internal configuration web pages. Keeping a
permanent record, assign a sequentially consecutive address to each
Canopy AP unit.
Example:
1st Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.2
2nd Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.3
3rd Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.4
4th Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.5
5th Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.6
6th Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.7
- Changing the subnet assignment to valid IP addresses on your
network, and it is also recommended to begin IP assignments at 2.
- Once the Canopy AP Unit flash has been updated & the unit rebooted,
it may only be accessed thereafter by it’s new IP address.

- Once the Canopy AP Units have been assigned unique IP addresses,
Sync Input, mounted, and connected to the Canopy AP Junctions, they
should be configured according to a frequency plan. Construct a
diagram of all the installed Canopy AP Units, and label each with the
assigned unique IP address and identify the Sync Master for each site
… preferably on a map overlay. This will become useful later when
providing directions for configuring Canopy Subscriber Modules.
Consider the example below depicting 24 Canopy AP Units at 4 sites.

Accessing your Canopy AP Unit Configuration
A PC for accessing your Canopy AP Unit configuration does not require
any special setup beyond proper installation of Ethernet interface device,
drivers, and TCP/IP protocol.
Configuring the CANOPY AP Unit
During normal operation, the Canopy AP Unit provides a variety of status
& diagnostic information should this become necessary. The Canopy AP
Unit requires little configuration for operation and is delivered with default
operating parameters. As described earlier, in a multiple AP system,
reconfiguration of the Canopy AP Units is required to assign unique IP
address assignments, as well as coordinate Canopy AP Unit frequencies.
Open your web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer) and enter the
Canopy AP Unit default URL (http://169.254.1.1
), or the URL with the
unique IP address assigned to a specific Canopy AP Unit. If the CANOPY
radio is powered and a proper network connection exists to your computer,
you will see the CANOPY AP Unit status page open in your web browser.
These web pages are within the CANOPY AP Unit, and no connection to

- Plug the AC Adapter into an AC outlet. Plug the other side of the

• The Canopy BH units are depicted in the diagram above using a Cross-

SWITCH, or ROUTER. If connecting to a COMPUTER, use a
Straight-Thru
Ethernet cable.
• Although Ethernet straight-through or crossover cables minimally
connect pins 1,2,3, & 6, insure that your Ethernet cable passes through
all connections (pins 4, 5, 7, & 8 convey power up to your Canopy
radio).
If one side or the other employs a Canopy AP Installation Kit, power is
provided without the need for an AC Adapter … however, the Ethernet
cable should be straight (not cross-over) to the Canopy BH unit because the
AP Installation Kit provides internal cross-over patches for all connected
Canopy AP units.

Installing CANOPY BH
Mount the Canopy BH radios on any structures which will provide the pair
of radios a clear unobstructed view.
The Canopy BH units are configured as a pair with one of the units
designated as AP and one of the units designated as SM. Carefully align
both the AP unit and SM unit to point at each other. If the distance is far
enough that the target location is not visible, plan the direction using a map
and align the units carefully with a compass. Install and power the AP unit
first. Then when installing the SM location, the built-in alignment mode
will be used to fine-tune the alignment and verify the link.
Either side of the Point-to-Point link can be the BH-AP Unit. If one of the
following conditions applies, select the BH-AP unit accordingly:
If one side of the Point-to-Point link is also intended to be the location
•
of a Canopy Access Point to reach Point-to-MultiPoint Subscriber
Modules, put the Canopy BH-AP unit on this side and connect it using
the Canopy AP Installation Kit along with the other Canopy AP units.
If there is no connection to a Canopy Point-to-Multipoint network (just
•
a dedicated link), but one site is co-located with multiple Canopy
Point-to-Point links in a star configuration, put the Canopy BH-AP unit
on the multiple Canopy BH site … and use a Canopy AP Installation
Kit.
If there is no connection to a Canopy Point-to-Multipoint network (just
•
a dedicated link) but the network is managed from one side, put the
Canopy BH-AP unit on the side that the network is normally managed
from.
Mounting Your Canopy BH Units
- IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, the following antenna installation and device operating
configurations must be satisfied. The Canopy BH Units must be
installed to provide a separation distance of at least 1.5meters from all
persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter. Installers must follow the Canopy
BH Unit installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions
for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
- The Canopy BH Units can be mounted in a variety of ways. Mounting
to a typical rooftop antenna mast is illustrated above as an example
using the bracket built into the back of the reflector dish.
- The Canopy AP Units should be installed away from the service mast,
and grounding of masts or brackets must be in accordance with
applicable requirements within section 810 of the National Electrical
Code (NEC).
