An antenna works effectively to convert high-frequency oscillating currents (energy)

into radio waves which are transmitted to the air; or, convert the radio waves received

from the air into high-frequency voltage (energy). It serves to implement energy

conversion.

The W140A adopts an outdoor antenna: Omni antenna or directional antenna.

Following are introductions to the common types of antennae.

1. Outdoor omni antenna

2.2 Installation Preparations

Whether the W140A is properly installed has a direct impact on the QoS of the system.

Due to the huge amount of installation work, it is necessary to work out a practicable

installation scheme to effectively ensure the progress and quality of the installation

work.

Chapter Error! Style not defined. Error! Style not defined.

The antenna is fixed to a support, and connected to the antenna interface

in the AP through a cable.

Complete the following issues before installing the W140A:

1. Network planning: Defining the installation location, installation mode and

connection method of the working ground.

2. Obtaining installation approval documents: To install the W140A in any public

building or the building of any group or individual, you should ask for

permission in advance.

3. Line resource: The W140A must be connected with the upper layer network

equipment via an RJ45 Ethernet interface. You should make sure beforehand

that whether the necessary line resource is available.

4. Lightning protection measures: Determining the lightning protection measures.

If a lightning arrester is to be installed, determining the grounding method of the

lightning protection grounding wire.

5. Installation personnel: Only the trained personnel should be allowed to install

the W140A, and supervision personnel should be present.

2-7

ZXR10 WAS (V1.0) W140A Outdoor Wireless Access Point / Bridge

6. Installation materials: Before the W140A is installed, making sure that all the

installation materials are ready.

7. The installation tools, instruments and documentations should be in place.

2.2.1 Channel Planning

According to the wireless LAN technology standard 802.11b and the standard of state

radio management committee, a wireless device in the wireless LAN operates at 2400

MHz ~ 2483.5 MHz, and the working frequency bandwidth is 83.5 MHz. The working

frequency is divided into 14 sub-channels, and the bandwidth of each sub-channel is 22

MHz. Fig. 2.2-1 shows the sub-channel allocations.

Fig. 2.2-1 Sub-channel Allocations

The above figure reveals that up to 13 channels are available. The IDs and central

frequencies of these 13 channels are described in Table 2.2-1.

Table 2.2-1 Channel IDs and Frequencies

Channel ID Central Frequency Low End/High End Frequency of the Channel

12 2,467 MHz 2456/2478 MHz

13 2,472 MHz 2461/2483 MHz

When multiple channels are working at the same time, the central frequency intervals

between two channels should not be less than 25 MHz to avoid mutual interference. As

shown in Fig. 2.2-1, the technology of direct sequence spread spectrum can support

three un-overlapped channels working simultaneously in a cell.

In the wireless LAN planning, the cellular coverage principle applied in the BTS

system is introduced in the channel allocation to ensure efficient coverage of the APs

and avoid inter-carrier interference. This principle supports three un-overlapped

channels (for example, channels 1, 6 and 11) working simultaneously in the same area,

as shown in Fig. 2.2-2.

AP

channel 11

Fig. 2.2-2 Channel Allocations between the Adjacent APs in Actual Networking

You should choose the working channels (generally channels 1, 6 and 11) for the

adjacent APs following the principle illustrated in Fig. 2.2-2, to guarantee normal

operation of the equipment in the wireless LAN.

2.2.2 Configurations Before Installation

Prior to install the W140A, power on the APs in turn and check whether they work

normally. If they fail to work normally, please check whether the versions are loaded

correctly. Refer to Section Error! Reference source not found. for details of loading a
