                                                  SkyZhone 1604, 1404, 1204 Hardware Installation Guide 13 Coverage area  With the SkyZhone access point, there is no need to use Wi-Fi links for communication between stations. This eliminates issues associated with buildings, trees, or hilly terrain that can impact node-to-node communications for mesh access points.  The SkyZhone access point uses 5dBi antennas that provide a 26-degree beam-width per antenna. Additionally, the three 2.4 GHz antennas are oriented to provide complete coverage both horizontally and vertically. SkyZhone access point’s signals extend up and down, and all around to minimize dead spots.   MIMO (Multiple-In, Multiple-Out) technology maximizes the receive signal strength from typical low-power 802.11b/g client devices and enables SkyZhone to maintain a reliable link at distances more than 50% greater than non-MIMO solutions.   In Figure 1 on page 12, note that the 4.9 GHz 802.11a radio uses the bottom two antennas and the 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g radio uses the top three antennas.   The 2.4 GHz radio operates in the unlicensed ISM band and can be used for a variety of applications such as Internet Access, Voice over IP, Mobile Video, or Enterprise VPN.   The 4.9 GHz radio operates in the licensed spectrum reserved for Public Safety users including city government, police, fire and EMT. SkyZhone features The SkyZhone access points communicate with SkyZhone aggregators using standards-based SHDSL-EFM uplinks to transport data traffic between access points and the Central Office or remote cabinet.   After initial power up, the SkyZhone access point contacts the ACS Server, downloads the latest software, downloads the configuration file, and registers itself with the Network Management System (NMS) system.   The SkyZhone access points’ dual-radio architecture provides 2.4GHz access for residential and commercial applications while simultaneously providing 4.9GHz access for public safety applications, using industry standard IEEE 802.11 client devices.  Remote configuration and troubleshooting is supported via SSH and HTTPS to SkyZhone access points through a separate management VLAN. In addition, a console port is provided for local access to the CLI.  SkyZhone also includes a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) port which provides for connectivity from the SkyZhone access point to a video camera or other accessory.  Bonding The SkyZhone access point supports Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) bonding on SHDSL lines. This bonding complies with the IEEE 802.3ah standard. Additional SHDSL lines can be added as your bandwidth needs increase. The
14     SkyZhone 1604, 1404, 1204 Hardware Install Guide SkyZhone access point automatically performs load balancing over the SHDSL lines.  Figure 2 shows an example of a SkyZhone network configuration.  Figure 2: SkyZhone network configuration    The SkyZhone supports 4 SHDSL lines bonded as a single EFM interface and connected to a SHDSL card installed in a SkyZhone Aggregator. Each SHDSL line card in the SkyZhone Aggregator provides 24 ports and each SkyZhone access point uses up to 4 ports. The data rates for the SHDSL card are shown in Table 2. SHDSL Data Rates  The SkyZhone Access Points support the following SHDSL data rates on 26 AWG cable.

Operating the device with the supplied antennas will ensure that this requirement is met.  •  Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. ____________________________________________________________  Selecting the locations Each installation is unique due to the physical environment. Before installing each SkyZhone access point, perform a site survey to determine the optimum placement of units for maximum range, coverage, and network performance.   The SkyZhone radio is susceptible to interference that can reduce data rate and range. For best performance, follow these guidelines:  •  Install the unit in an area where trees, buildings, and large steel structures do not obstruct radio signals to and from the antenna. Be sure to consider the future tree growth and construction when considering a site. Direct line-of-sight operation is always best. Antennae must be kept at least 10 inches away from contact with the general public passing by the area.  •  Install the units away from other possible sources of 2.4 GHz WLAN interference. These sources include cordless phones and microwave ovens, as well as other WiFi access points.  •  Install the units, when wall-mounted, onto an area that can accommodate the plastic casing and lid of 24 inches high and at least 36 inches wide.

                                                  SkyZhone 1604, 1404, 1204 Hardware Installation Guide 39 Initial Configuration Using the factory defaults •  The factory defaults for the SkyZhone Access Point includes two VLANS.   •  VLAN 1 is the default data VLAN.  Ports eth0 (SHDSL), eth1 (PoE), and wlan0 are all members of this VLAN.  •  VLAN 7 is the default management VLAN.  Ports eth0 (SHDSL) and eth1 (PoE) are members of this VLAN.   Before using the SkyZhone Access point, use the CLI commands on the console interface to assign an IP address to the SkyZhone access point. For your network, determine the appropriate IP addresses as well as subnet mask, default gateway and broadcast address settings. The SkyZhone access point can now be configured for management.  In the following example, the values for the settings for the network are:  •  IP address:   10.108.14.218  •  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0  •  Broadcast Address: 10.108.14.255  •  Default gateway: 10.108.14.254  Use the following three commands to configure VLAN management.  •  config if interface brvlan7 ip 10.108.14.218 mask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.108.14.255  •  config if route-add destination default gateway 10.108.14.254  •  config admin-tools save running-config   After entering these commands, the system can be managed using SSH or HTTPS over the SHDSL interface or the PoE interface.   Refer to the SkyZhone CLI Reference Guide for a list of supported commands to configure advanced SkyZhone features.  Changing the factory defaults If you are not using the factory default VLANs, you need to delete the default VLANs and configure the VLANs that are appropriate for your network. In the example below, VLAN 2 is used for management instead of the default VLAN 7. Also, VLAN 122 is the data VLAN instead of VLAN 1.
40     SkyZhone 1604, 1404, 1204 Hardware Install Guide  1.  Delete the default VLANS. The following commands remove the default VLANs:  config vlan vlanconfig removeport interface eth0 vlanid 1  config vlan vlanconfig removeport interface eth1 vlanid 1  config vlan vlanconfig removeport interface wlan0 vlanid 1  config vlan vlanconfig removevlan vlanid 1  config vlan vlanconfig removeport interface eth0 vlanid 7  config vlan vlanconfig removeport interface eth1 vlanid 7  config vlan vlanconfig removevlan vlanid 7  2.  Define the new management VLAN. In this example, VLAN 2 is the management VLAN.   config vlan vlanconfig addvlan vlan_name management vlanid 2  config vlan vlanconfig addport interface eth0 vlanid 2 tagged  config vlan vlanconfig addport interface eth1 vlanid 2 untagged  config vlan portdefaults default-pvid vlanport eth1 pvid 2  3.  Configure the management address. In this example, the device address is 10.108.14.218.  config if interface brvlan2 ip 10.108.14.218 mask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.108.14.255  config if route-add destination default gw-addr 10.108.14.254  4.  Define the data VLAN. In this example, the data VLAN is VLAN 122.  config vlan vlanconfig addvlan vlan_name data vlanid 122  config vlan vlanconfig addport interface wlan0 vlanid 122 tagged  config vlan vlanconfig addport interface eth0 vlanid 122 tagged  config vlan vlanconfig addport interface eth1 vlanid 122 tagged  config admin-tools save running-config  Using the Ethernet interface The Ethernet port can be used to configure the SkyZhone access point using the factory default settings. The Ethernet port on the SkyZhone has a default address

If a static IP address is set on your PC that is on the same subnet (for example, 192.168.1.100), then use HTTPS to configure the remaining parameters. Note that the SkyZhone access point uses HTTPS and not HTTP. The default login is admin and the default password is zhone.  Note that if the IP address of the management VLAN is changed, you lose your connection to the SkyZhone unit. A new static IP address must be configured on your PC that is compatible with the new IP address that you configured in the SkyZhone unit.   Also, if any changes have been made to the VLAN definitions, the corresponding changes will have to be made in the DSLAM that the SkyZhone is connected to.

Connect a length of #10 AWG solid, bare, copper wire to the grounding lug and firmly tighten the grounding screw (see Figure 20). Connect the other end of the grounding wire to a grounded surface or another earth ground such as a metal rod. This ground must be install before applying power to the unit.  SkyZhone provides both Primary and Secondary lightning and surge protection to the SHDSL and PoE cable signals. The special POE + Console cable has both protected signals (POE) and unprotected signals (Console).  This special cable is intended for unit configuration prior to installation.  It is not intended for outdoor use.  Use the standard POE cable for outdoor installations.  The National Electrical Code (NEC) and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) require the use of an agency listed (UL/CSA) Building Entrance Protector for all power and data communications cables entering a building. This is to protect the building and occupants from damage caused by transient voltage and current surges.   A UL 497 (CSA C22.2 No. 226-92) approved primary protection device must be used at the building entrance if the Ethernet port is used to provide in-building access to the SkyZhone network. Also check with local wiring codes.
