The pole must be securely mounted so that it does not move, and may be from 1.5” to 3” in diameter. WARNINGWARNING USE EXTREME CARE WHEN INSTALLING ANTENNAS NEAR POWER LINES. 4• Slide heatshrink over antenna cables. Tighten right angle connectors to transceiver and straight connectors to antenna feed element. Use a 5/16 inch open ended wrench to tighten the connectors until snug. Do not overtighten. Heat the heatshrink until it contracts around the connector junction. 5• 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 into the wall and then into the power input. Verify that both LEDs come on solid after approximately 30 seconds. 8• Align the antenna by moving it left to right, then up and down. Theblink rate of the yellow LED viewable through the Access Door will increase and ultimately go solid if the signal is strong enough. If the LED is not glowing no signal is being received from the Access Point. Verify that the Green LED blinks occasionally to indicate packets being received from the Access Point. 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. CAUTIONCAUTION DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE TRANSMITTER UNLESS THE ANTENNA IS CONNECTED. PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY RESULT.

The system utilizes robust spread spectrum technology to reduce susceptibility to interference. The typical subscriber installation consists of an M5800SB-SU-EXT transceiver mounted outdoors with a dish antenna 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 a base station that has a high speed connection to the internet.

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 base station. Your service provider should provide a .cfg file to you that contains all the required information. 1) Obtain the M5800S-SU 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 this file on the diskette provided by the service provider. 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 antennas above human and mechanical traffic, aiming it in the general direction of the base station. 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 base station. Mount the feed to the end of the antenna.

Objects such as walls and metallic objects near the transmission path reflect signals and may reduce the transmission distance. 2) Do not add additional lengths of cable to connect the to the antenna as significant losses in signal and reduced transmission range will occur. 3) Mount the transceiver on the dish mounting pole as shown in Figure 1. 4) Connect the antenna cables, paying attention to the polarization shown on the feed. IMPORTANT NOTE: The transmitter uses a non-standard jack to connect to the transmitter antenna. Any modification to this jack may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment and will void the manufacturer’s warranty. 5) Connect the STP run no longer than 150 feet – Use straight through 8 conductor cat 5 cable, making sure that the RJ45 terminations are shielded. 6) Use standard outdoor to indoor drip loop and grounding per National Electrical Code and electrical conduit if appropriate. 7) Connect the Junction Box to an interior wall near the entry point of the cable. 8) Plug the STP cable into the ODU port of the Junction Box. 9) Plug the wall mount power adapter into the Junction box. 10) Plug the wall mount adapter into the wall outlet. 11) 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. ANTENNA ALIGNMENT Once the power to the transceiver is verified, align the antenna by aiming it towards the base station until the yellow LED blinks as fast as possible or turns completely solid. This indicates a very strong signal from the base station. If the Yellow LED is lit up at all, the signal is not being received or the antenna is aimed far away from the base station. The beamwidth of the antenna is about 7 degrees, so small movements of the antenna can create large changes in signal strength. 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. CAUTION CAUTION DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE TRANSCEIVER WITHOUT THE ANTENNA SECURELY ATTACHED.

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. CAUTION CAUTION WHEN THE UNIT IS IN OPERATION AVOID STANDING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE ANTENNA. STRONG RF FIELDS ARE PRESENT WHEN THE TRANSMITTER IS ON.
