Regulatory Notices

This device has been designed to operate with only its integrated antenna. This device has
been tested using unshielded Ethernet CAT-5E cable.

Federal Communications Commission

The EUM3006 has 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 EUM3006 equipment is OOX-EUM3006.

The transmitter of this device complies with Part 15.247 of the FCC Rules.

Note: 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

APCD-LM048-1.1 xii

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a 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 try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

• --Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• --Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• --Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.

• --Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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.

Operational Requirements

In accordance with the FCC Part 15 regulations:

1. The maximum average power output of the intentional radiator shall not
exceed one (1) watt (30 dBm) for all spread spectrum systems operating in
the 902 to 928MHz band.

2. Stations operating in the 902 to 928MHz band may use transmitting antennas
of directional gain greater than 6dBi, provided the average output power from
the intentional radiator is reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain
of the antenna exceeds 6dBi.

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 Interference Environment on page xiii.

The EUM3006 with its integrated antenna complies with these requirements, since the
maximum average transmitting power is 25.8 dBm measured at the internal antenna port
which is not accessible to the user. This is 4.2 dB below the maximum allowed, so the
integrated, high-gain, active diversity antenna is allowed to provide an additional 4.2 dB gain
for a total of 10.2 dBi gain.

Warnings and Advisories

General Advisory

Installers, operators and maintenance personnel must be familiar with the related safety
requirements before they attempt to install or operate the EUM3006.

xiii APCD-LM048-1.1

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.

WARNING!

The EUM3006 Integrated Outdoor Modem must be properly
grounded. WaveRider assumes no liability for failure to
adhere to this recommendation or to recognized general
safety precautions.

WARNING!

To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, the EUM3006 must
be fix-mounted outdoors to provide a separation distance of
30cm (1 foot) or more from all persons to satisfy RF exposure
requirements. The distance is measured from the nearest
point of the modem to the human body. It is recommended
that the modem be installed in a location with minimal

pathway disruption by nearby personnel.

:

Important Safeguards

CAUTION: To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not remove
covers, since there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

1. Read all these instructions before installing and operating the EUM3006.

2. Retain these instructions for future reference.

3. Heed all warnings on the EUM3006 and in these instructions.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use EUM3006 and PoE Injector near water.

6. Unplug EUM3006 and PoE Injector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Clean only
with a damp cloth.

7. Use only attachments recommended by WaveRider.

8. The fins and metal casing protect the EUM3006 from overheating to ensure reliable
operations. Do not cover the EUM3006 and PoE Injector. Do not place the EUM3006
or PoE Injector near or over a radiator, stove, heat register or other source of heat. Do
not place the EUM3006 and PoE Injector in a built-in installation such as a bookcase
or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. The EUM3006 has an outdoor
temperature rating, so it can handle a much larger range of temperatures than the

WARNING!

APCD-LM048-1.1 xiv

PoE injector. However, it is still possible to exceed the EUM3006 specifications by
improper placement or ventilation.

9. Operate the EUM3006 only from a 48 VDC PoE Mode B power source.

10. Operate the PoE Injector only from a 100 - 250 VAC, single phase, 47-63 Hz AC
power source. The PoE Injector is rated for indoor use only.

11. The PoE Injector is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, which will only fit into
a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.

12. Route the AC Power-supply cord and Ethernet cables so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cord and cables at their plugs, convenience receptacles and the points
where the cords exit the equipment.

13. Provide strain relief for cables near their connections. This is typically done by leaving
a loop in the cable near the connection.

14. Ensure the system is properly grounded to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.

15. Do not locate the EUM3006 in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits. When
installing outdoors, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

16. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug the Ethernet cable from the PoE injector to the
EUM3006 and unplug the PoE Injector from the wall outlet. If the Ethernet cable to the
EUM3006 goes through a PoE Lightning Arrestor, then disconnect the inside Ethernet
cable. This will power down the EUM3006.

17. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this increases the risk of fire or
electric shock.

18. Never push objects of any kind through openings in this wireless product as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the PoE Injector. The EUM3006 is an outdoor
unit, but it is not submersible nor is it immune to all liquids.

19. Do not attempt to service this wireless product yourself, as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.

20. Unplug PoE Injector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into these products.

• If the PoE Injector has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the EUM3006 does not operate normally for an extended period of time when

following the operating instructions. Note that it is possible that Internet traffic can

xv APCD-LM048-1.1

be slow even under normal operations due to network congestion and radio
interference and fading and not as result of problems with the EUM3006.

• When the EUM3006 or PoE Injector exhibit distinct changes in performance. This
may indicate a need for service.

21. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the WaveRider or with the same characteristics as the
original part. Improper substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

22. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this wireless product, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the wireless product is in proper
operating condition.

23. Follow WaveRider recommendations when mounting the EUM3006 on a wall, roof, or
tower.

24. Install the EUM3006 in compliance with local and national electrical codes. The
following are the national codes. The installer is responsible for knowing the
appropriate local codes.

• In the United States, use the National Electrical Code (NEC);

• In Canada, use the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1;

• In other countries, use International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364,
part 1 through 7.

:

25. Ensure that the EUM3006 is properly grounded by attaching a grounding cable to the
bolt marked “GND” on the back of the EUM3006. Art. 820-40 of the NEC (US)
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
grounding cable(s) shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as

1 Introduction

The LMS4000 900 MHz Radio Network provides wireless high-speed Internet connectivity to
business, SOHO (small office, home office) and residential customers. LMS4000 operates in a
point-to-multipoint configuration, with one base station efficiently serving many subscriber
stations. LMS4000 transmission is based on a high-performance MAC protocol, and industry
standard IP routing and Ethernet switching technology. No radio license is required, since
LMS4000 operates in the 900 MHz ISM band. LMS4000 can deliver Internet service over long
ranges and often where the radio paths between the base station and subscribers are partially

1: Introduction

Figure 1 EUM3006 Integrated Outdoor Modem

The EUM3006 has new features that provide improved RF performance as well as ease of
installation. The RF performance is enhanced due to the integrated, high-gain, active diversity
antenna, improved transmit power, and improved receive sensitivity.

Hardware and software improvements make outdoor installation easier than ever, allowing
rapid deployment, single person installation, and even end-user self-installation. These
improvements include Power-over-Ethernet, mounting and alignment tools, and Automatic
Remote Configuration of all parameters using DHCP and RADIUS. The Automatic Remote
Configuration of parameters also allows the network operator to easily manage and
reconfigure the EUM3006 after it is installed, including changing frequency, passwords, and
SNMP parameters.

Key features of the EUM3006 include:

• Easy Outdoor Installation - The EUM3006 is tested to meet ETSI 300-019

environmental standards for outdoor installations, with an extended temperature
range of -40º C to 50º C plus solar loading. The EUM3006 can also work in
uninhabited indoor locations, such as attics, if there is an adequate RF signal. The
advantages of an integrated outdoor unit include:

• More flexible installations.

• Improved range since there are no RF losses from long cable runs.

• Lower installation costs.
