The pole must be securely mounted so that it does not move. 3• Install transceiver articulated mounting arm. WARNINGWARNING USE EXTREME CARE WHEN INSTALLING ANTENNAS NEAR POWER LINES. 4• Construct or puchase a shielded twisted pair (STP) cat 5 straight through 8 conductor Ethernet cable terminated with shielded RJ45 connectors long enough to go along the pole or wall to the building entry point. Use conduit and a drip loop as appropriate per National Electrical Code. 6• Connect the cable to the unit and tighten the flange around the cable or conduit. 7• Install the junction box indoors near the entry point into the building. Plug the Ethernet cable going to the transceiver into the ODU port (above the power input). Plug the wall mount 20 V adapter or 24 Volt power source into the wall and then into the power input. Verify that both LEDs come on solid after approximately 30 seconds. 8• Align the antenna for the coverage pattern desired. The elevation beamwidth is 10 degrees and the azimuth beamwidth is 60 degrees. 9• Tighten all nuts and bolts down after the alignment is completed. 10• To help protect against potential lightning damage, use an ethernet lightning surge arrestor in line with the STP cable at the entry point to the building.

FCC Information: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to correct the interference by one of more of the following measures: 1) Reorient the antenna; 2) Increase the separation between the affected equipment and the unit; 3) Connect the affected equipment to an outlet on a different circuit from that which the receiver is connected to; 4) Consult the dealer and/or experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC ID: NCYM5800SBAP60 CANADA: Pending IMPORTANT NOTE: Intentional or unintentional changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance must not be made. Any such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

The system utilizes robust spread spectrum technology to reduce susceptibility to interference. The typical access point installation consists of one or more M5800SB-AP-60 transceiver mounted outdoors and a junction box mounted indoors. The junction box provides power to the transceiver by injecting the power onto the unused pairs of the Ethernet cable. The transceiver antenna is aligned towards the service area. The coverage area will depend on the unit mounting height and downtilt, but in general it is a 10 degree (el) by 60 degree(az) projection perpendicular from the unit radome onto the service area.

If you are installing the system yourself, below you will find a step by step guide. TRANSCEIVER SETUP PRIOR TO INSTALLATION Before installing the hardware you must set up the transceiver to allow communication with the the subscriber database. 1) Obtain the M5800S-AP Series Wizard program, .cfg file diskette, and Setup cable (CBLDAT-1) from your service provider. 2) Load the wizard program onto a PC or Laptop 3) Connect the junction box ODU port to the transceiver with a short section of 8 conductor UTP cat 5 network cable. 4) Connect the CBLDAT-1 to the PC or laptop serial port. 5) Use a Philips head screwdriver to remove the access door temporarily. Inside is an RJ11 jack 6) Connect the phone connector end into the RJ11 jack. 7) Plug the power adapter into the junction box and then into a 120 VAC wall outlet. 8) Wait 30 seconds for the unit to power up. The LEDs on the junction box should both be glowing solid. 9) Click on the wizard program icon. 10) Click on the “Serial Port” button, choose the appropriate COM port, and enter the password (obtained from your service provider). If none was provided, the default is “sunstream”. 11) Click the “Connect” button. 12) The screen should change to a display with the notation “PG-SYSINFO” at bottom right. 13) Click the “Load Configuration” button. 14) A dialog box pops up prompting for the .cfg file. Locate the default.cfg file on the diskette provided or download it from the web. Highlight it and click “open” 15) The program should return to the PG-SYSINFO page and show the new values just loaded from the .cfg file. 16) Click “Reboot Unit” and wait 1 minute. 17) Click “Quit” 18) The unit is now ready for service and may be powered down . All settings loaded will be retained in the non-volatile memory. HARDWARE INSTALLATION Mount the transceiver units above human and mechanical traffic, aiming it in the general direction of the service area. In general, the higher above the ground the antenna is, the better. A 10 foot 2 3/8” diameter steel mast on top of a building is typical. Make sure that the mast is well grounded to earth ground with an 8 AWG or larger wire. For best performance, the antenna must be 15 to 20 feet above all obstacles in the line of sight to the any one subscriber unit.

Objects such as walls and metallic objects near the transmission path reflect signals and may reduce the transmission distance. 2) Mount the transceiver on the mounting pole as shown in Figure 1. 3) Connect the STP run no longer than 300 feet (when using a 24 Volt supply), 150 feet if using the standard 20 V supply– Use straight through 8 conductor cat 5 cable, making sure that the RJ45 terminations are shielded. 4) Use standard outdoor to indoor drip loop and grounding per National Electrical Code and electrical conduit if appropriate. 5) Connect the Junction Box to an interior wall near the entry point of the cable. 6) Plug the STP cable into the ODU port of the Junction Box. 7) Plug the wall mount power adapter into the Junction box. 8) Plug the wall mount adapter into the wall outlet. 9) The LEDs on the Junction box should both be on, indicating that the power is coming into the junction box properly and that the outdoor transceiver is powered up properly. Check the wiring if this is not the case. CONNECTION VERIFICATION After the alignment is completed, an Ethernet cable can be connected to the “NET” port of the Junction Box and then to a switched hub or PC network card. A crossover cable will be required if connecting to a PC NIC. M5800SB-AP-60 Inputs and Outputs 1. POWER INPUT Accepts a 10.5-24 Vdc power source such as the standard 20 Vdc adapter (supplied with Sunstream part number ODU-PKIT-1). 2. ETHERNET DATA INTERFACE Use a shielded cat 5 cable to connect the junction box to the transceiver unit. It is ok to us UTP for the indoor connection to the switch or PC. 4. LED INDICATORS These LEDs indicate when a data packet is transmitted(red) or received (green). The yellow LED indicates the strength of the signal received from the base station.
