Regulatory Notices

This device has been designed to operate with several different antenna types. The gain of each antenna type shall not exceed the maximum antenna system gain as given in Appendix
Donpage181. Antennas having a higher gain are strictly prohibited by Industry Canada and
FCC regulations. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Industry Canada

CCU and EUM
The IC Certification Number for the CCU and EUM is 3225104140A. Operators must be familiar with IC RSS-210 and RSS-102. The CCU and EUM have
been designed and manufactured to comply with IC RSS-210 and RSS-102.

Federal Communications Commission

CCU and EUM
The CCU and EUM have been designed and manufactured to comply with FCC Part 15.
Operators must be familiar with the requirements of the FCC Part 15 Regulations prior to operating any link using this equipment. For installations outside the United States, contact local authorities for applicable regulations.
The FCC ID for the CCU and EUM equipment is OOX-LMS3000. The transmitter of this device complies with Part 15.247 of the FCC Rules. The CCU and EUM (with outdoor antenna only) must be professionally installed.
Interference Environment
Operation is subject to the following conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference and,
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that might cause undesired operation.
xvi APCD-LM043-4.0

Operational Requirements

CCU and EUM
In accordance with the FCC Part 15 regulations:
1. The maximum peak power output of the intentional radiator shall not exceed one (1) watt for all spread spectrum systems operating in the 902 to 928MHz band. This power is measured at the antenna port of the CCU or the EUM.
2. Stations operating in the 902 to 928MHz band may use transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6dBi, provided the peak output power from the intentional radiator is reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6dBi.
NOTE: The gains referred to in point 2 are with respect to the total
antenna system gain.
3. The operator of a spread spectrum system and the user of the radio device are each responsible for ensuring that the system is operated in the manner outlined in InterferenceEnvironment on page xvi.

Warnings and Advisories

General Advisory
Operator and maintenance personnel must be familiar with the related safety requirements before they attempt to install or operate the LMS4000 equipment.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that the public is not exposed to excessive Radio Frequency (RF) levels. The applicable regulations can be obtained from local authorities.
Do not operate the CCU or EUM without connecting a 50-ohm termination to the antenna port. This termination can be a 50-ohm antenna or a 50-ohm resistive load capable of absorbing the full RF output power of the transceiver.
WARNING!
The LMS4000 external antennas must be professionally installed and properly grounded. Antennas and associated transmission cable must be installed by qualified personnel. WaveRider assumes no liability for failure to adhere to this recommendation or to recognized general safety precautions.
APCD-LM043-4.0 xvii
WARNING!
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, the antennas for the CCU must be fix-mounted on outdoor permanent structures to provide a separation distance of 2m or more from all persons to satisfy RF exposure requirements. The distance is measured from the front of the antenna to the human body. It is recommended that the antenna be installed in a location with minimal pathway disruption by nearby per sonnel.
The antennas for the EUM must be fix-mounted, indoors or outdoors, to provide a separation distance of 20cm or more from all persons to satisfy RF exposure requirements. The distance is measured from the front of the antenna to the human body. Again, it is recommended that the antenna be installed in a location with minima l pathway disruption by nearby personnel.
CAUTION: There is a DC signal of 5-7.5V (current limited to
5mA) on the Antenna Output of the EUM. Antennas or RF test equipment must be able to accept this DC signal or have a device to block the DC signal. Otherwise, the antenna, test equipment, and/or the EUM may be damaged.

1 Introduction

The LMS4000 system provides 900MHz and 2.4GHz wireless. high-speed Internet connectivity to business and residential subscribers. This manual, which is specific to the LMS4000 900MHz Radio Network, provides the following information:
• A detailed description of the operation of the hardware and software
• Guidelines for planning and designing your network
• Instructions for configuring, installing the 900MHz radio modem, monitoring, maintaining and troubleshooting
• Support information that you may find useful for operating your network
TIP: The installation of other LMS4000 network equipment is described in LMS4000 Installation Guide, which can be obtained from WaveRider.
The LMS4000 900MHz Radio Network, which operates in the 900MHz ISM band, offers the following features and benefits:
• Excellent Propagation Characteristics: LMS4000 900MHz radio networks provide excellent coverage to non-line of sight installations using WaveRider’s proprietary indoor diversity antenna and extended coverage to installations using external high­gain antennas.The 900MHz ISM band is more suited to NLOS (non-line of sight) wireless Internet applications than other ISM bands because it has superior propagation performance, demonstrating the following benefits:
• Lower free-space, cable and foliage loss
• Better wall and glass penetration
• More signal recovery from diffraction and reflection
• High-speed Channel: The LMS4000 900MHz Radio Network provides a raw channel bit rate of 2.75Mbps, which translates to peak FTP rates of 2Mbps.
• High-performance Polling MAC: WaveRider’s patented Polling MAC algorithm takes advantage of typical usage patterns found in Internet transactions, such as Web browsing and email, to provide an operating capacity of up to 300 end users per RF
APCD-LM043-4.0 1
1 Introduction
channel. Even with large numbers of subscribers, end users generally perceive that they have the entire channel to themselves.
• Grade of Service Support: The Polling MAC supports up to four end-user grades of service, which allows the system operator to segment service offerings for those users that demand and are willing to pay for higher grades of service, and those that are only willing to pay for a more basic grade of service.
• License-free Radio Bands: The main advantage of using the ISM band is that you need not apply to the FCC or Industry Canada for an operating license. This freedom reduces your time to market and the effort and high cost associated with obtaining a license.
• Robust Hardware and Software: LMS4000 hardware and software have been rigorously tested in lab and field environments. The hardware, which is mechanically robust, works over a broad range of temperatures and operating conditions. The software is equally robust and has been designed to recover automatically from unplanned events and abnormal operating conditions.
• Simple End-user Modem Configuration: The end-user modem is very easy to configure. Normally, operators pre-configure the EUM prior to field deployment, so they can maintain control over their network.
• Simple End-user Modem Installation and Operation: It is very easy to install and operate the EUM. So easy, in fact, that when the installation is based on the WaveRider indoor diversity antenna, the end user should be able to install and operate the modem with no involvement from the network operator. This simplicity saves the network operator the cost and inconvenience of having to visit the end­user’s premises. The EUM uses a standard Ethernet interface which means the EUM and the antenna can be located up to 100m from the end-user’s PC.
• Flexible Network Topology: The LMS4000 900MHz Radio Network has a flexible topology, allowing it to line up with the operator’s existing Internet points of presence and site facilities. As well, LMS4000 supports the following connections:
• Connection between the end-user modem and the Internet through the network operator’s gateway router
• Direct connection between end-user modems through the LMS4000 900MHz channel units (CCUs), if the CCU is configured to support this routing
• Connection between end-user modems on different, but colocated, CCUs if these routes are configured in the CCU routing tables
• DHCP Relay: CCUs support DHCP relay, which, once enabled, allows end-user PCs to automatically obtain their IP and DNS server addresses from the network operator’s DHCP servers. DHCP relay simplifies the EUM installation even further and makes it even easier for the modem to be installed by the end user.
• End-user Registration: All end user modems automatically transmit a registration request to the LMS4000 system so they can access the wireless network. They can only register if the network operator has authorized them in the CCU. This registration guarantees that only approved subscribers can gain access to LMS4000 wireless services.
• Remote System Configuration and Diagnostics: The network operator can configure and monitor CCUs and EUMs from anywhere. This remote access allows the operator to make configuration changes, download new features, and diagnose problems remotely without having to visit distant network sites or end-user premises.

1 Introduction
• SNMP Support: Using WaveRider-supplied SNMP MIBs, network operators can
integrate the LMS4000 with their existing network management system to allow monitoring of CCUs and EUMs from an existing and/or centralized SNMP manager. Once SNMP is configured, the operator can monitor system events, parameters, and statistics in real time. Statistics can be processed in the SNMP manager to provide alarms, trend data, graphical outputs, and derived performance data.
• Channel Redundancy (optional): Optional CCU redundancy, which can be ordered
from WaveRider, improves LMS4000 system reliability, and reduces or eliminates down time if a CCU fails. This redundancy eliminates interruption of service to the end users and reduces the urgency for getting to the CCU site to replace the failed CCU.
• Accurate Time Stamping (SNTP): The CCUs and EUMs can be programmed to
synchronize their internal clocks with one or more NTP servers. Time stamping enables all logged events in the CCUs and EUMs to be correlated with events that have taken place at other locations in the network or with events logged by equipment installed outside the network, if this equipment is equipped with accurate time­stamping. Accurate time-stamping facilitates diagnosis of complex network problems.
• Field-replaceable Equipment: In the event of an equipment failure, LMS4000
components are easily replaced with minimal or no disruption to the operation of other components.
• System Upgradability: The LMS4000 network architecture supports orderly growth
from simple installations, through single-CCU CAP (Communication Access Point) sites and multi-CCU CAP sites, to multi-CAP networks.
• Port Filtering: The LMS4000 network operator can configure CCUs and EUMs to
filter IP packets on specific TCP and UDP ports to improve network performance, security, and privacy.
• Low Maintenance: CCUs and EUMs require no routine maintenance, other than
maintenance of their operating environments within the specified temperature and humidity range.
• Extensive Installation, Maintenance and Diagnostic Support: TheCCUandEUM
are equipped with a wide range of features and utilities to facilitate unit installation, operation, maintenance, monitoring, and diagnostics:
• Visual status indicators on all units
• Simple-to-use command-line interface, offering full unit configuration capability
• Windows-based EUM configuration and installation utilities
• RSSI (receive signal strength indication) output, to simplify antenna pointing and performance measurement
• Ability to remotely FTP files to and from CCUs and EUMs
• Wide range of operating and performance statistics
• SNMP support
• Simple and reliable field-upgrade process
• Remote download of equipment configuration files to CCUs and EUMs
Your decision to implement an LMS4000 900MHz Radio Network enables you to deliver high­quality, high-speed wireless Internet service to the business and residential subscribers in your serving area.
