ARCXTEND 5.8 GHZ USER MANUAL – R1.0, ISSUE 1 PureBurst Ingress Noise Suppression PureBurst effectively functions as a door. When there is no wireless upstream signal being received by the Hub, this door is closed. When closed, the Hub does not output any noise onto the cable plant. Therefore, when other subscribers are transmitting in the upstream to the CMTS, the wireless hub does not contribute to the cable plant’s noise floor.
ARCXTEND 5.8 GHZ USER MANUAL – R1.0, ISSUE 1 PRE-DEPLOYMENT PLANNING Hub Site Selection A suitable location for the Hub is one that provides an acceptable line of sight (LOS) wireless link to the CPE(s) located at the customer site(s). An acceptable wireless link is one within the working range of Hub and with line of sight to the customer sites. Line of Site Line of sight is defined as a path between the Hub and CPE that is free of obstructions in the Fresnel zone.

Draw two circles taking the customer site(s) to be covered as its center and the maximum range of each Hub type as the circle’s radius. .
ARCXTEND 5.8 GHZ USER MANUAL – R1.0, ISSUE 1 Table 3-3: Upstream Channel Mapping The upstream wireless channel is centered at 5,720 MHz plus the upstream DOCSIS channel frequency: e.g. Upstream Channel 29.5 MHz is transmitted at 5,749.5 MHz. As part of the site selection process check for interference at the wireless frequency carrying the DOCSIS upstream channel. If interference is present you will need to use a different DOCSIS upstream channel, if possible, or move the Hub to a different location. .
ARCXTEND 5.8 GHZ USER MANUAL – R1.0, ISSUE 1 Checking for Interference ARCXtend supports the assignment of any downstream RF channel to one of the twenty available downstream wireless channels. The available carriers and the corresponding CPE downstream RF channel are given in Table 3-4. By examining the CPE downstream frequency spectrum we can determine which of the wireless channels is free of interference.
ARCXTEND 5.8 GHZ USER MANUAL – R1.0, ISSUE 1 The Downstream DOCSIS channel can mapped to any one of the available downstream wireless frequencies. Each downstream wireless channel is down converted by the CPE to a fixed frequency as given in Table 3-4. e In summary, any CATV downstream channel may be employed as input into the Hub, and any specified air frequency between 5729 and 5843 MHz may be chosen, but the cable modem receive frequency (channel) is determined from the wireless frequency.
ARCXTEND 5.8 GHZ USER MANUAL – R1.0, ISSUE 1 ARCXtend Multiple Hub Configurations Downstream If multiple ARCXtend Hubs are to be installed such that more than one Hub is visible (line of sight) from any ARCXtend subscriber transceiver (CPE), additional measures must be taken. A receiver will not operate properly if it “sees” signal on the same frequency from more than one transmitter such that the two or more signals arrive at the receiver at levels within approximately 25 dB of each other.
ARCXTEND 5.8 GHZ USER MANUAL – R1.0, ISSUE 1 DHCP Server Setup The Hub’s ECM requires an IP address and its own unique configuration file. In order for the ECM to be assigned an IP address and be loaded with the proper configuration file the following actions are required: Set up a DHCP pool on your server for the ARCXtend ECMs to ensure that the ECM is properly configured and addressed.
