1 QuickStart Guide This chapter outlines the basic procedure for installing PacketWave 200 Series Subscriber Equipment and putting it into operation. It identifies the minimal requirements for getting the equipment up and running, and assumes that configuration using DHCP and WaveCenter™ Configuration Manager has been performed as described in the PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit manual.
Chapter 1. QuickStart Guide B. At the subscriber’s site: i. Identify the location for the Interface Box, close to an AC power source. ii. Identify an appropriate location for mounting the Outdoor Unit (ODU). In most cases, the unit should be pointed at the base station with the least possible obstruction. iii. Determine the cable path between the Interface Box and the Outdoor Unit. Maximum cable length is 50 m (165 ft) or 100 m (330 ft), depending on cable type (see Table 3-A). Step 2.
Chapter 1. QuickStart Guide Step 4. Align the Antenna A. Verify that the Ethernet cable from the Interface Box to the Outdoor Unit is properly connected. B. If the PacketWave 200 has been pre-provisioned as described in Step 1, the Outdoor Unit will begin beeping, indicating that it is in auto-alignment mode. (If beeping does not occur, the PacketWave 200 has not been pre-provisioned, and you will need to use the AIM to align the antenna as described in Chapter 5.) C.

Chapter 2. Overview Subscriber Equipment PacketWave 200 Series subscriber equipment consists of a main Outdoor Unit (ODU) and a small indoor Interface Box, as shown in Figure 2-2. Outdoor Unit (ODU) Power Supply Interface Box Figure 2-2 PacketWave 200 Series Subscriber Equipment Outdoor Unit The outdoor portion of the subscriber equipment consists of a single unit, approximately 9 inches square, containing the radio, antenna, and bridge/router. Different versions support various frequency bands: • 2.
Chapter 2. Overview The ODU antennas are directional, with a beam width of 17° to 20° horizontally and vertically depending on frequency. The width of this beam, combined with the width of the base station antenna beam (90° or 60°), means that only rough alignment of the antenna is needed for establishing a wireless link, though accurate alignment is important for maximum signal quality.
Chapter 2. Overview addition, the ODU port on the Interface Box provides power to the ODU via the Ethernet cable connecting the units. WARNING: There is DC power on the Interface Box’s ODU port. Connecting this port to a PC or switch will cause permanent damage to the device. The Interface Box comes with an external power supply and power cord that plugs into a standard AC wall plug (120 or 220 volts). On PacketWave 100, and 200 series there is no serial interface.
Chapter 2. Overview SU Configuration SU configuration can be done in server mode or in local mode: • In local mode, the SU’s configuration is performed using the Aperto Installation Manager (AIM). No configuration file is downloaded from the BSU’s TFTP server. • In server mode, subscriber equipment is provisioned using the WaveCenter Configuration Manager, as described in the PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit Installation, Configuration, and Operation manual.
Chapter 2. Overview • PPPoE Client — PacketWave 220 and 230 models include a built-in PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) server. PacketWave 200 LEDs The LEDs on the Outdoor Unit and Interface Box provide operational information as described in Table 2-A.

Right On when Ethernet link is up; Off when it is down.
Chapter 2. Overview Event Reporting The PacketWave 200 offers several means of reporting subscriber equipment events: • E-mail messages — The PacketWave 200 can be configured (via the Configuration Manager, the Web GUI, or SNMP) to report events via e-mail to specified addresses. • SNMP traps — The PacketWave 200 SNMP agent supports trap reporting. Trapreporting parameters can be specified via the WaveCenter Configuration Manager, the Web GUI, or SNMP.
3 Site Planning There are three basic site-planning issues which must be decided before you begin installation: • Location of the Interface Box. • Location and mounting method of the Outdoor Unit. • Cable path between the Interface Box and the Outdoor Unit. Location of the Interface Box Typically, the Interface Box is located near the subscribers hub or computer. However, the Ethernet cable to the local computer or hub can be up to 100 m (330 ft) in length.
Chapter 3. Site Planning • Accessibility — If possible, choose a location that is relatively accessible, which will simplify installation and any adjustment or repair in the future. • Mounting method — The Outdoor Unit’s standard mounting bracket supports mounting on a pole that is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) or 2 inches (5.1 cm) in diameter. For other mounting options (under an eave or on a chimney, for example), mounting hardware may be adapted or replaced as necessary.
