5. Configuration
4. Installation
This section provides information and procedures to assist you in
installing your RWR-HPG.
4.1 Bench Testing

It is recommended that you perform a ‘dry bench setup and test’ of the
RWR-HPG Series base station prior to installing it in the field to ensure
that all required parts are accounted for and the base station is configured
properly. To set up a bench test, connect the RWR-HPG as described in
sections 4.3.3 and 4.3.4, then configure it using Chapter 5.
4.2 Planning the Installation

Careful planning of your installation is an important step in ensuring the
best performance from your RWR-HPG. Ideally your plan will ensure:
• Adequate coverage
• Security
• Ease of installation
• Ease of maintenance
• Safety
This section provides suggestions that will assist you in the planning
process. See Chapter 7: Line of Sight Considerations, for additional
information.
4.2.1 Location
When selecting an installation location for your RWR-HPG Series base
station, location of the antenna is important. Typically the enclosure will
be installed nearby, either on the antenna mast or on a wall or roof within
a short cabling distance.
Placement of the antenna is critical in ensuring maximum range,
consistent coverage and optimal data rates. Usually, locating the antenna
higher, with line-of-sight to a receiver, will result in greater range.
However, height advantage must be weighed against the danger of damage
from lightning strikes. Your antenna also must be located away from other
radio or television antennas to avoid interference.
In general, attempt to locate your antenna in an open area, free of
obstacles such as trees, buildings or hills. Obstacles can block radio
signals or create reflections that result in multipathing, a form of
interference.
5. Configuration
Site Surveys
Site surveys are important in optimizing link distances, coverage, signal
paths and overall network performance. A site survey may be as simple as
a visual assessment of the physical location, buildings and vegetation, or it
may require RF and performance testing using more sophisticated tools. In
general, the following steps should be included in a site survey:
• Obtain a map or diagram of the coverage area.
• Visually inspect the area to verify the map or diagram and note
objects that may affect radio propagation.
• Identify areas where users require coverage.
• Determine a preliminary base station location and required antenna.
• If possible, set up a temporary installation, for testing purposes.
• Use a tool such as NetStumbler (available www.demarctech.com) to
test coverage.
• Repeat as necessary to determine the best location for your RWR-
HPG Series base station.
• Document the results for future reference.
NOTE: For more information on antenna placement see Chapter 7: Line of Sight Considerations
4.2.2 Lightning Protection

Your RWR-HPG Series base station comes from the factory with a PoE
Ethernet Lightning Protector installed.
If you are installing an RWR-HPG-N (external antenna) in areas where
lightning is prevalent, it may be prudent to add an RF lighting protector in
line with the antenna. RF lightning protectors are available from Demarc
Technologies Group. For information, or to order RF lightning protectors,
contact Demarc Technologies via phone, email or web support form.
Proper grounding of your installation (described in the next section) also is
important in providing adequate protection against damage due to
lightning.
4.2.3 Grounding
The RWR-HPG Series base station must be properly grounded to protect
against power surges, accumulated static electricity and lightning. It is the
user's responsibility to install the RWR-HPG Series base station in
accordance with the National Electrical Code. These codes describe
correct installation procedures for grounding of the electronics, mast, lead-
in wire and discharge base station, location of discharge base station, size
of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding
electrodes. It is recommended that the installation of the RWR-HPG
Series base station be contracted to a professional installer.

To mount the RWR-HPG enclosure on a roof:

1. Fasten one L-bracket to the RWR-HPG enclosure using four 8-32 x 3/8
inch machine screws (only one L-bracket is included, if wall mount is
desired, a second L-bracket should be purchased as well as the
necessary two 1-4 x 1 inch bolts)
2. Fasten the other L-bracket to the roof using appropriate fasteners
(depending on the type of mounting surface).
3. Use bolts to assemble and tighten the brackets as shown in the
photograph.
4.3.2 Grounding the Enclosure

The RWR-HPG Series enclosure must be properly grounded to protect
against power surges, accumulated static electricity and lightning. It is the
user's responsibility to install this device in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. These codes describe correct installation procedures for
5. Configuration
grounding of the enclosure, mast, lead-in wire and discharge base station,
location of discharge base station, size of grounding conductors and
connection requirements for grounding electrodes. It is recommended that
the installation of the outdoor base station be contracted to a professional
installer.
4.3.3 Installing/Connecting an Antenna (HPG-N

only)
No antenna is included with the RWR-HPG-N. For assistance in selecting
the appropriate antenna for your application contact Demarc Technology
Group via email, phone or on their website. For installation of the antenna

4.3.4 Connecting the Ethernet Cable

Make your Ethernet connections as follows:
4. Install outdoor CAT5 cable between your network switch and the
RWR-HPG using standard network cabling techniques
5. CAT 5 Cable installation:
a) Gel filled cable: If you are using gel filled outdoor CAT5
cable, before inserting it into the enclosure, strip and clean off
about 8 inches of the cable sheath. (This ensures enough
flexibility to manipulate the cable inside the enclosure.)
b) Non-gel filled cable: If you are using non-gel outdoor CAT5
cable, stripping the sheath should not be required.
6. Terminate the CAT5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector plug.
7. Insert the CAT5 cable through the compression fitting on the bottom of
the enclosure into the RWR-HPG Series base station. (This is a tight fit
but a standard RJ-45 plug can be inserted through the fitting.)
8. Tighten the compression fitting to ensure a seal.
9. Plug the RJ-45 connector into the PoE Ethernet Lightning Protector
inside the enclosure.
5. Configuration
4.3.5 Installing the PoE DC Injector/Splitter and

5. Configuration
WLAN Operational Mode

The WLAN Operational Mode field contains the selected mode of
operation for the RWR-HPG on the wireless LAN. Available modes are:
Access Point
Access Point mode allows the RWR-HPG to act as an 802.11b/g Access
Point. Wireless stations can access stations on the wired LAN and vice
versa. Wireless stations within the range of the RWR-HPG operating as an
access point may communicate with each other (unless Intra BSS Traffic
is disabled).
Access Point Client

AP Client mode allows the RWR-HPG to operate as a client connecting to
other RWR-HPG access points. This mode allows connection of one or
more remote LANs with a central LAN, creating thus an extended single
virtual LAN. In this way, any station of the remote LAN can successfully
communicate with any station of the central LAN, as if all of them
belonged to the same physical LAN.
WDS
Wireless Distribution System – This mode allows the RWR-HPG to
operate as an access point for other stations while maintaining connection
with other compatible access points operating in WDS mode at the same
time. WDS mode requires all connecting access points to operate on the
same channel and peer access points MAC addresses need to be
configured under the Wireless Settings tab.
AP + WDS
AP+WDS mode allows the RWR-HPG to act as a WDS node, keeping in
contact with other WDS nodes (that have their MAC addresses in the
WDS list). However, it will still maintain functionality as a standard
access point to wireless clients.
5. Configuration
5.4.2 Wireless - Advanced Settings
Authentication Type
Choose from Open System, Shared Key, or Auto
Open System
Selecting the Open System option allows any station in the WLAN to
associate with an AP and receive and transmit data (null authentication).
Shared Key
Selecting the Shared Key option ensures that only stations using a shared
key encryption identified by the AP are allowed to associate with it.
Auto
Selecting the Auto option allows stations to communicate with the AP
either with or without data encryption.
Note: While operating as Access Point Client you should only chose Open or Shared Key authorization –
depending on the authorization scheme that is used by your Access Point.
Fragmentation Threshold
The Fragmentation Threshold field contains the number of data bytes at
which Ethernet packets will be fragmented. The RWR-HPG implements
fragmentation to reduce the length of Ethernet packets. This improves
communications performance in the presence of RF interference. You can
set the number of data bytes in a packet to any value between 256 and
2346. The default value is 2346. If the data frame being send is larger than
the value in the Fragmentation Threshold field, the packet will be
fragmented.
5. Configuration
RTS/CTS Threshold
The RTS/CTS Threshold field contains the number of data bytes at
which RTS (Request To Send) handshaking will be implemented. The
RWR-HPG implements RTS/CTS handshaking to improve performance
by limiting on-the air collisions. For packets smaller than this threshold, a
RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the WLAN. For
packets larger than this threshold the RTS/CTS handshaking is
established. You can set the threshold between 0 and 2347 bytes. The
default value is 2347.
Beacon Interval
A beacon is a packet broadcast by the AP to synchronize the wireless
network. The Beacon Interval field contains the frequency interval of the
beacon. The default value is 100.
Data Rate
The Data Rate field contains the data rates the RWR-HPG will support
while connecting to another device. Available data rates are 54, 48, 36, 24,
18, 12, 9 and 6 Mbps for 802.11g mode and 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps for
802.11b mode.
Preamble Type
Preamble Type is the first subfield of the PPDU (Presentation Protocol
Data Unit), which is the appropriate frame format for transmission to PHY
(Physical Layer). There are two options, Short Preamble and Long
Preamble. The Short Preamble option improves throughput performance;
the Long Preamble ensures greater compatibility with other vendors
equipment.
Broadcast SSID
The Broadcast SSID field allows you to enable the AP to broadcast its
SSID (making it visible to anyone), or disable it to hide its SSID.
Block Relay (IBSS Relay)

IBSS Relay (Intra Base Station Subsytem) allows associated wireless
clients to communicate between each other. By default this feature is
disabled.
IAPP
Inter-Access Point Protocol – allows access points to communicate with
other access points.
5. Configuration
802.11G Protection
The “protection mode” option to the 802.11g standard facilitates the
cooperation of B and G radios. The two networks each use different
modulation schemes and thus cannot naturally “hear” transmission
attempts on the shared RF medium. In protection mode, the G radio sends
a short packet at an 802.11b rate (1, 2, 5.5 or 11Mbps) containing a field
that the B client understands and indicating that it is going to transmit. So
that the B client knows to back off. Using protection mode, performance
will still degrade because the protection frames create additional overhead.
But it will degrade “reliably,” because the overhead is predictable.
ACK Timeout
The ACK Timeout field contains a value that represents the time after
which the wireless bridge, (if an ACK packet is not received), retries
sending a data packet. This is especially useful for long range links and
links where devices report lot of duplicate packets – increasing this value
helps improve performance. The default Value is 91.
TX Power (CCK/DSSS 802.11b)

This is your transmit rate over the 802.11b frequency. By default, this is
set to 18dBm (63 mW).
TX Power (OFDM 802.11g)

This is your transmit rate over the 802.11g frequency. By default, this is
set to 20dBm (100 mW).
5. Configuration
5.4.3 Wireless - Security
Encryption
The Encryption field allows you to select the type of WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy) or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption method
to use in your wireless network. Options include:
• WEP 64 bit
• WEP 128 bit
• WPA-TKIP
• WPA2-AES
• WPA2-Mixed
• Disabled
WEP Encryption Key 1…4

To configure WEP, select WEP from the Encryption pull down menu.
Then, click the button. The four WEP Encryption Key
fields (1, 2, 3 and 4) allow you to enter your own encryption keys. The
particular key that you will use is selected in the following (Encrypt Data
Using) field. Encryption keys are entered as hexadecimal numbers and
must conform to the number of bits selected in the Encryption type field.
5. Configuration
For each WEP Encryption Key field:

• If you chose WEP 64 bit encryption, type in a 10 character
hexadecimal number.
• If you chose WEP 128 bit encryption, type in a 26 character
hexadecimal number.
If you selected WPA encryption, the WEP Encryption Key fields are not
required.
WPA Encryption
If WPA has been selected in the Encryption field, in the WPA
Encryption Type field select TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
If RADIUS is selected, a user name and password will be required to log

into the network. If passphrase is selected, only a password will be
required.
802.1x Authentication
802.1x is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Access Control. It
provides authentication to devices attached to a LAN port, establishing a
point-to-point connection or preventing access from that port if
authentication fails. It is used for certain closed wireless access points, and
is based on the EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
5.4.4 Wireless – Access Control
If you choose to enable this option, only clients whose wireless MAC
addresses are in the access control list will be able to connect to your
access point
5. Configuration
5.4.5 Wireless – WDS Settings

7. Line-of-Sight Considerations
The figures below illustrate various point-to-point (PTP)
configurations. They show four typical conditions: near-LOS,
NLOS, and blocked LOS links, as well as clear LOS. Note that the
ability to avoid link problems is heavily dependent on the size of
the first Fresnel zone. As frequency goes up, this zone gets smaller,
thus better avoiding the blockage that causes negative link
performance. For example, a 5GHz carrier has a smaller Fresnel
zone than 2.4GHz.
Figure 14. Line-of-Sight Configuration
Near-LOS
Near-LOS refers to a link that has clear line of sight, but buildings
or trees are partially penetrating the first Fresnel zone. A
conventional rule of thumb is that the first Fresnel zone needs to be
60 percent clear before there is any appreciable difference between
a totally clear LOS link and one that is near-LOS. So this
definition of near-LOS is essentially the same as a clear LOS link
in that, from an RF perspective, there are no real obstacles in the
link path.
Bounced LOS
Bounced LOS refers to a link in which there is complete visual
blockage to the direct LOS link path. The radio link is created by
bouncing the radio signal off a nearby object to create a bounced
indirect link path around the obstacle. This will only work with
radios that are using OFDM.
Blocked LOS
Blocked LOS refers to a link in which there is complete visual
blockage of the LOS link path. The radio signals must therefore
propagate through or around the blockage (i.e., trees and foliage).
In general only higher EIRP levels will all for links to work if at
all.
Clear, Unobstructed LOS (Also Known as Clear
LOS)
Clear LOS refers to a link in which the path is a straight line
between two link end points. Saying that a link achieves clear LOS
is sometimes ambiguous. Is the link completely clear of any
obstacles? The definition of “clear” typically refers to a link in
which at least 60 percent of the first Fresnel zone is free of any
obstacles that would cause propagation shortcomings.
Performance Levels
When considering clear LOS, as well as blocked LOS, NLOS or
near-LOS links, there is a fairly simple set of guidelines that can be
applied to the “guarantees” that are available to the operator. These
guidelines are summarized below, which compares link operational
guarantees when the equipment is first installed versus long-term
operation.
Long-Term Operational
Initial Install
Availability/Reliability
Operational Guarantee
Guarantee
Near LOS Link No No
Bounced NLOS No No
Obstructed NLOS No No
Clear unobstructed LOS Yes Yes
The ability for a link to work is dependent on the required

minimum signal level at the receiver that can be processed or used.
When the link is initially installed, it must achieve the required
sensitivity performance level.
It is difficult to accurately predict the overall propagation loss in

any link that does not have clear, unobstructed LOS. Hence, under
conditions without clear LOS, there is a general inability to
guarantee whether or not a given link will work in the first place.
For a link to stay working properly, the link must have enough
“head room” to operate during all of the expected variations that
will be encountered. For this to be guaranteed, the expected
variations must be based on long-term statistical elements, which is
done effectively in clear, unobstructed LOS cases. For example,
the use of long-term rain statistics (based on ITU 530) has been
proven effective in the design of microwave and millimeter wave
clear LOS links.
However, when considering blocked LOS, NLOS or near-LOS
links, propagation losses and/or effects through trees or in bounced
urban conditions are not statistically well defined. Therefore
guarantees are not readily possible in the blocked LOS, bounced
LOS, NLOS, or near-LOS cases.
There are a few technologies that can enhance overall performance
in blocked LOS, near-LOS, or NLOS conditions where multi-path
becomes a limiting factor. Although such technologies may help
improve overall link performances, they do not achieve guaranteed
performance. These technologies include OFDM (multiple
carriers), single carrier (i.e., QPSK or QAM) operation with
adaptive equalization and MIMO (multi-input multi-output)
receiver technology.
N O TE:OFDM is used on 802.11a and 802.11g designs.
