FCC ID PWG NEXUS 1 3 Installation Manual 1. Introduction The smartBridges SB3000 is a complete wireless high speed Network Interface Card (NIC) used for Point to Point Links with external antennas . Developed by modifying GlobespanVirata ISL39200M WLAN NIC, it conforms to the IEEE 802.11a protocol , works in point to point mode and operates in the 5725-5850 MHz frequency band. The device shall not be used in any application other than Point to Point mode. 1.
FCC ID PWG NEXUS 1 4 Installation Manual IXP 425 communicates with the Radio module and routes the data signals with necessary mini PCI format and controlling software . The units are run by software resident in the memory IC’s . SB 3010 can communicate to another SB 3010 only . The second device can be connected only when its MAC number is written into the first device . Channel blocking is provided by the software control which does not allow the user to select un authorized channels . 3.
FCC ID PWG NEXUS 1 5 Installation Manual Bridge Mode: First Unit Setup Note The default IP Address of NEXUS 3010 units is 192.168.1.1 and the default IP Mask is 255.255.255.0. The PC must be on the same subnet as the unit to access it (e.g. 192.168.1.10). Step 1 Log into the NEXUS unit by typing ‘http://192.168.1.1’ in your web browser window (Figure 4-1). Enter User Name: Administrator and Password: smartBridges. You will be directed to the ‘License Agreement’ page (Figure 42).

FCC ID PWG NEXUS 1 10 Installation Manual • Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, antenna height helps to reach longer distances to avoid obstruction. However, do not place the antenna higher than necessary, because the extra height also increases potential interference from other unlicensed radio systems. Do not install the airHaul Nexus on a TV or Radio receiving mast or within proximity of the same.
FCC ID PWG NEXUS 1 11 Installation Manual For tower installations, you may need to climb the tower to verify a clear path to the other site. If trees are in the line of signal propagation, leave extra clearance above them for future growth into the signal path. Table 5-1 (below) can be used as a guide to determine the clearance to leave around the signal path. Install the bridge or external antenna where obstacles along the propagation path, including the ground, are no closer than these values.
FCC ID PWG NEXUS 1 12 Installation Manual Figure2-4-9 Tower and Wall Mounting The unit is shipped with a mounting bracket that is suitable to be attached to towers. To mount the NEXUS on a pole, follow these steps: Step 1 Attach the NEXUS unit to the square plate on the mounting bracket with the supplied bolts. Step 2 Find a suitable mounting location on the tower or wall. (If required, drill holes on the wall corresponding to the mounting bracket holes.
