Installing the IDR

This chapter describes the installation of the WipLL Indoor Data Radio (IDR),

which is installed at the subscriber site.

Warning: When operating in the 900 MHz band, the IDR model with an

external antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction, with any

other antenna or transmitter.

Warning: To avoid electrical or fire hazard, ensure that all cable connections

to the IDR are performed prior to connecting the power supply.

Note: The digital portion of the transceiver 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 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 on and off, the user is encouraged to try correct the

interference by performing one or more of the following measures:

- Reorientate or relocate the receiving antenna

- Increase separation between the equipment and receiver

- Connect the equipment to 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

Installing the IDR Hardware Installation Guide 12.3. Connecting a Third-Party External Antenna The IDR provides a TNC-type connector for connecting a third-party antenna. This antenna can be placed on the subscriber’s windowsill to provide better RF signal reception with the BSR. Connector: TNC-type male Warning: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the IDR is NOT connected to the power source.

Installing the IDR Hardware Installation Guide 12.6. Connecting to PC for Serial Configuration To perform IDR initial configuration, you need to connect the IDR’s RJ-11 port to the serial port of a PC running the WipLL network management application (i.e., WipConfig). The IDR’s RJ-11 port labeled Serial, located on the front panel, connects to the serial port of a PC. This is performed using two cables (straight through and crossover) and an RJ-11-to-9 pin D-type female adapter on the crossover cable.
