Preface
Preface
This manual covers the basic configuration and installation of the M5580M-FSU Wireless Point to Point Subscriber Unit.
The M5580M-FSU consists of a radio with an internal 8 dBi. The M5580M-FSU may be used in conjunction with an
optional FCC certified external reflector dish for extended transmission range. When using the reflector dish, professional
installation is required. Contact your sales person for more information regarding the “Professional Installation Guide.”
FCC Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in any particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
correct the interference by one of more of the following measures:
1) Reorient the antenna.
2) Increase the separation between the affected equipment and the unit.
3) Connect the affected equipment to a power outlet on a different circuit from that which the receiver is connected to.
4) Consult the dealer and/or experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC ID: NCYM5580MFSU
Canada: 2945A-M5580FSU
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Intentional or unintentional changes or modifications must not be made unless under the express consent of the party
responsible for compliance. Any such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment and will
void the manufacturer’s warranty. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the following antenna installation and
device operating configurations must be satisfied. The antenna for this unit must be fixed and mounted on outdoor
permanent structures with a separation distance of at least two meters from all persons. Furthermore, it must not be colocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Overview
Chapter 1 Overview
Each M5580M-FSU acts as an endpoint in a point to multipoint wireless Ethernet transmission system, which provides
network connectivity at, speeds up to 45 Mbps depending on the transmission distance, noise floor, and the antenna
configuration. The M5580M-FSU uses either CCK or OFDM technology coupled with Automatic Repeat request (ARQ)
for improved resistance to interference and noise.
1) M5580M-FSU unit (With integrated dual polarization 8 dBi patch antenna)
2) 20 Volt power adapter for use with 120 VAC.
3) Power over Ethernet Junction Box.
4) M ou nt in g hardware
The M5580M-FSU center frequency may be tuned from 5.736 to 5.836 GHz, allowing 6 non-overlapping channels
to ease installation. The unit utilizes Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and is designed for outdoor environments. The
cable entry point can accommodate both Shielded twisted pair Cat5 (STP) and Unshielded twisted pair Cat5 (UTP),
however STP is recommended.
The M5580M-FSU product is comprised of the following items:

Overview
Location of RJ-45/LED Port
The RJ-45 connector, diagnostic LEDs, and reset button are located at the bottom of the radio. Functionality of the LEDs
is described later in this text. The reset button, resets all configuration settings (including IP address and password) back
to factory default. Hold the reset button down for 5 seconds (until amber lights flash) while unit is powered on.

Getting Started
Chapter 2 Getting Started
It is recommended that you first provision and test your the radios on the bench before deploying them in the
field. This is a particularly useful exercise for the novice user.
Connections and Power
• Connect a Cat-5 (straight through) Ethernet cable (we recommend shielded twisted pair) between the
ODU (out door unit) port of the J-box and the RJ-45 connector on the radio. Note that this cable will
carry power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
• If connecting to a COMPUTER, use a Cross-Over
computer’s Ethernet port.
If connecting to a HUB, SWITCH, or ROUTER, use a Straight-Thru
• Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.
Figure 7
Ethernet cable from the NET port of the J-box to the
cable.
Both green LEDs on the J-box should be lit, indicating power is present at the PoE box as well as at the radio.
The Radio’s Power LED may take several seconds before lighting. It will require approximately 45 seconds for
the radio to boot and be ready for configuration via the Ethernet port.
Note: If voltage falls below 16 volts, the power LED will go off but the Radio LED will stay on. The radio
can operate down to 10.5 volts.
