Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution 4 Planning considerations During link planning, such factors as distance, obstacles and the link margin should be taken into account. We strongly recommend to use the InfiPLANNER tool for link planning. 4.1 InfiPLANNER InfiPLANNER is a link planning tool, which allows to design networks using InfiNet Wireless devices for optimal deployment and cost effectiveness.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution NOTE More detailed information about radio signal propagation is available at "Wireless Networking Fundamentals10" online course. 4.3 Antenna Installation General recommendations for antenna installation: • Try to keep the LOS clear of obstructions. In case of installations over vegetation and forest, make sure the direct LOS stays above the trees; in urban environments - above the tallest buildings along the radio path.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution 4.4 Spectral aggregation It is recommended to place base station sectors above the subscriber terminals as high as possible to provide proper antenna tilt in vertical direction and to minimize self-interference. The optimal antenna tilt is defined by the vertical beam width of the sectoral antenna and by the required sector coverage. It must cover all the area, where you plan to deploy the subscriber terminals.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution 4.4.1 Without synchronization • Distance separation (vertical or horizontal) must be at least two meters between the edges of the antennas. • Reduce the transmission power. 4.4.2 With synchronization 4 collocated base stations mounted back-to-back. • The recommended guard interval between the end/boundary frequencies of the occupied bands of the neighboring sectors 5 MHz. 4.

Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution 5 Link Pre-configuration in the lab Usually, before going into the field, it is recommended to pre-configure in the lab the Infinet Wireless units to verify the link establishment. Take the units out of the package and place them on the table.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution Step 2: Access to the device Let's access each unit to the default IP address 10.10.10.1 with mask 255.255.255.0 via a web browser. Before, make sure the Ethernet port of the Laptop has an IP address assigned from the same subnetwork as the one for the unit (e.g., set 10.10.10.10 with mask 255.255.255.0). NOTE We assume that each unit used in this setup has not been configured before and runs with the factory settings.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution NOTE At the next login set up login and password to access the unit in the privileged mode. Step 3: Management IP change Let's change the management IP of each unit. Go to the "Basic Settings" section, then to Network Settings and change the default IP address of the ‘svi’ interface which is a logical interface used for remote management access in MINT switching mode (MINT switching mode is enabled by default).
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution 5.1 Step 4: Software upgrade Let's upgrade each unit to the latest stable firmware version. Go to the Maintenance section and click on the "Check Latest Release" button. In case a new software version is available, click on the "Upgrade Firmware" to initiate the firmware upgrade process. Before, make sure the laptop which is connected to the unit has an Internet connection, too. Otherwise, the manual firmware upgrade process should be performed.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution The rest of parameters remain with the default values. At the unit named Slave at step #3 above, go to the Basic Settings section, then to Link Settings and set this unit with: • Type: Slave. • Tx Power: e.g., 0 dBm (set the minimum value in the range, as currently, we are in the lab, and we don't need high output power anymore). • Node Name: e.g., Slave (it is the same as the value set at Device Name if this was saved before).
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution Step 6: Check the wireless link status Let's apply all settings described above for each unit and after login let's go to the Device Status section, and check the link establishment at Link Statistics.

Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution CAUTION Please note that the pressure equalization system in Infinet devices is performed via gas exchange through a cable gland and Ethernet cable jacket with a dry room where the power supply is installed. In order to avoid ODU failure due to moisture entering the device, for example, during the pressure drop during the rain, the cable gland assembly requirements should be met and there are should be no cracks in the Ethernet cable jacket.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution • The end of the FTP service cable that is connected to the power supply should be assembled with a shielded RJ-45 connector. The other end of the FTP service cable (connected to the wireless device) should be assembled with unshielded (standard) RJ-45 connector. • The power supply is grounded via a three-conductor power cord and a grounded socket. • AUX-ODU-LPU-L, AUX-ODU-LPU-G and wireless device grounding is performed using grounding bolt.

Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution The team at the antenna which has the highest gain will click on the "Start Test" button and start to change the azimuth slowly while watching the signal indicators • As soon as the best signal has been found (Input Signal stripes must be located in the black area, closer to its center), the antenna must be locked into that position • The same action will be performed for the elevation, and the antenna must be locked into the final position wher
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – InfiMAN Evolution As soon as the antennas have been precisely alignment, set the "auto" option for Tx power and bitrate at both units and select values in accordance with the EIRP limitations. Depending on the values for SNR, RSSI, retries and current bitrate, change the following parameters: • Decrease/increase the Tx power level (keeping the auto option checked) to have the SNR at around 25 dB and the RSSI at around -55 dBm.
