PERSISTENT SYSTEMS
Headquartered in New York City since 2007, Persistent Systems LLC is a global communications technology company which develops, manufactures and integrates a patented and secure Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) system: Wave Relay® . The company’s industry-leading R&D team has designed wireless networking protocols to support their cutting edge Wave Relay® system and has designed MIMO radios to allow the Wave Relay® MANET to achieve its highest potential. Wave Relay® is capable of running real-time data, video, voice and other applications under the most difficult and unpredictable conditions. Their suite of products is field proven and utilized in Commercial, Military, Government, Industrial, Agriculture, Mining, Oil and Gas, Robotics, and Unmanned System markets.
THE MPU5
The MPU5 is the Next Generation Wave Relay® platform. Leveraging multiple leading edge technologies such as MIMO and Android™, the MPU5 is a smart radio that delivers increased performance, reliability, and capability to the end user in a small, cost-efficient package. Stream multiple HD Video feeds, run commercial and custom apps, view situational awareness, and communicate with high quality audio all with a single device and a minimal number of accessories.
WAVE RELAY® MANET
The Wave Relay® System is a peer-to-peer wireless MANET networking solution in which there is no master node. If any device fails, the rest of the devices continue to communicate using any remaining connectivity. By eliminating master nodes, gateways, access points, and central coordinators from the design, Wave Relay® delivers high levels of fault tolerance regardless of which nodes might fail. The system is designed to maximize the capacity of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum and to minimize the network overhead. While optimizing efficiency, Wave Relay® also implements tech­niques that increase multicast reliability. The advanced multicast functionality allows the system to support both multicast voice and video over IP.
Wave Relay® is designed to maintain high bandwidth con nectivity among devices that are on the move. The system is scalable, enabling it to incorporate unlimited meshed devices into the wireless network, where the devices themselves form the communication infrastructure. Even in highly dynamic environments, the system is able to
maintain connectivity by rapidly re-routing data as necessary. Wave Relay® is a self-forming and self-healing network where nodes can move freely within the network. Critical information flows reliably throughout the network while individual data paths are able to adapt at sub-second intervals. This unique approach creates an ideal environment for maximizing performance across the available communications medium. Customers leverage Wave Relay®’s straight forward and effective architecture to enable a true “Plug and Play” capability. Deploying a Wave Relay® network is as simple as connecting a standard Ethernet cable; customers are immediately connected to everything on the network.
Wave Relay® is a seamless wireless networking system offering a dynamic and reliable solution for all mobile networking needs. The MPU5 offers the Wave Relay® MANET combined with other leading edge technologies in a single smart radio.

How do I tell if my antennas and radio modules are compatible?
Find the part numbers on the antennas. Antenna part numbers are on a sticker wrapped around the base of the antenna.
1
Find the part number on the radio module. The radio module part number is on a sticker on the back of the radio module.
2
Each part number will begin with ANT- (antennas) or RF- (radio modules) followed by four (4) digits. The first digit references the radio band of the part. Make sure that the first digit of the antennas and radio module match.

!
WARNING!: DO NOT use mismatched antennas and radio modules. This configuration will result in very
poor performance and/or damage to the device. If you do not have matching antennas and radio modules, contact Persistent Systems.
!
WARNING!: DO NOT switch radio modules while device is powered on. Power off device before changing
radio modules.
!
WARNING!: the MPU5 is not IP68 rated when the radio module is not attached. Ensure you are in a dry,
dust-free environment before changing radio modules.
!
WARNING!: User MUST refer to the Professional Installer – Compliance Section of this manual for ap-
proved antenna types. This warning applies only to RF-2100 with the FCC ID 2AG3J-RF-2100 and RF-5100 with the FCC ID 2AG3J-RF-5100.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!:
To communicate with an MPU5, the computer must have an IP address in the same subnet
mask as the MPU5’s IP address.
For example, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the computer and MPU5 will be able
to communicate if they share the same first three numbers in their respective IP addresses (e.g. 10.3.1.10 and 10.3.1.254).
If the computer and MPU5 do not share a subnet mask, the computer and MPU5 will not
be able to communicate.
If either the computer or MPU5 do not have an IP address in the same subnet mask, the
computer and MPU5 device will not be able to communicate.

Note: changing these settings may cause poor performance or loss of connectivity.
Radio Name: Assign a name to the radio - check the Factory Default box to use the factory default name. Frequency: Assign a frequency to operate on. Radios must be operating on the same frequency to communi-
cate. Ensure that the frequency is set to match the radio module installed in the unit.
Bandwidth: Assign a bandwidth to operate on. Nodes must be set to the same bandwidth to communi­cate. Bandwidth should be increased for shorter distances and decreased for longer distances. Max Link Distance: Set Max Link Distance to the maximum distance any individual link between nodes in the network may need to be. All nodes on the network must be set to the same Max Link Distance.
Channel Density: Select the menu item that corresponds to the number of nodes in the network. Radio Preference: Increasing radio preference will make the routing protocol more likely to choose this
radio when routing traffic in the network. Max Transmit Power/Chain: Adjust transmit power of the radio - this setting is per chain. The total power is shown to the right of the drop down menu.
Transmit Chain Select: Choose which RF chains to use to transmit - you may select one, two, or three chains. The Auto setting will instruct the MPU5 to select Transmit Chains on its own. Receive Chain Select: Choose which RF chains to use to receive - you may select one, two, or three chains. The Auto setting will instruct the MPU5 to select Receive Chains on its own.

WARNING!: when upgrading or downgrading a node’s firmware, the LED will turn purple.
Do not unnecessarily disturb devices during an upgrade. Loss of power during the upgrade can permanently damage the device.
Note: when new firmware is available for the MPU5, you will receive an email with the new firm­ware file to upgrade your units.
