Addendum
The AW58803HTS is a radio with a dual at panel high gain directional antenna and a built in 802.11ac
Power Over Ethernet 3-port switch. This allows you to place a wireless Ethernet drop at a location and
provide power and data connections for up to three Ethernet devices. Power is provided to the three
devices via unused wires in their data cables. Multiple radios can serve as Subscriber Units (clients)
in conjunction with an AW58800HTA. Except for the power and data distribution provided by the
switch, the AW58803HTS is functionally identical to the AW58800HTS. For conguration and testing
information, refer to the AW58800HTS manual attached to this Addendum.
The AW58803HTS includes:
• AW58803HTS Subscriber Unit Radio
• Heavy Duty Pole-mount Bracket
• Power Over Ethernet Injector
• 56 VDC Power Supply 100W

Addendum
Disregard the power connection information in the attached manual in the Quick Start Guide and
Physical Setup sections, using the information below instead.
We recommend connecting and powering up the unit on the bench before deploying in the eld, be-
cause it is much easier to troubleshoot problems and to adjust the conguration if necessary without
having to climb poles to do it. Activate the AW58803HTS units one at a time until they can be given
distinct IP addresses.
This photo shows how things are connected on the bench:
The main elements to consider are these:
• The Power connection is made to the labeled port (the rightmost one when viewed from the
rear) on the radio.
• The maximum cable run between the Power Over Ethernet Injector and the radio is 60 feet (20
meters).
• The maximum cable run from the radio to any of the three attached devices is also 60 feet.
• The POE has a “Data In” socket that can be connected to a network.
• Total DC power available to the three devices is 130 Watts.

Digital Conguration
1. Digital conguration is done by means of the radio’s built in browser interface. The unit should be
powered on and connected at least temporarily to a network containing a computer that can run a
conventional web browser.
2. Using your web browser, connect to the radio as described in the Quick Start Guide found earlier
in this manual.
3. The initial page after a successful login is “Quick Set.” The content of this page is somewhat dif-
ferent for the AW58800HTA Access Point and for the AW58800HTS Subscriber Unit.
4. Each page provides a menu on the left to navigate from section to section. The menu looks like this
when its sections are expanded:
Beware that certain actions may cause the web page to freeze. In most cases, this is because you are
viewing a browser-cached version of the page and not the live one from the radio. Clear your browser
cache and/or logout and log back in to recover. You are cautioned not to use the “back” button on
your browser to attempt to move back to earlier pages. If you do, you will be logged out and will
need to login again.
In the upper right of the page is a label that tells you the version of the web interface. If the ver-
sion number is not the same as shown below, you might want to visit www.avalanwireless.com (the
Downloads page under the Support menu) to see if a newer version of this manual exists before pro-
ceeding further.

Changing The Configuration - Step by Step
Please be aware that if you change the IP Address or User Password and forget their new values, you
have locked yourself out of the browser interface. The AW58800 runs self-diagnostics at boot-up and
will auto-correct most system conguration errors. Prior to calling technical support, it is recom-
mended to power cycle the radio and conrm that the problem remains.
In the event of a lost IP address, reboot the AW58800 to create a temporary IP address of 192.168.88.88
that can be used to access the radio to reset the user-dened IP address. This IP address expires after
3 minutes from reboot. In the event of a lost password, please contact AvaLAN technical support for
assistance.
If you are changing parameters over the RF link (we do not recommend this), be sure to make the re-
mote changes rst because the link will be broken if the network name or Security Keys do not agree.
1. Setting the IP Address and Subnet Mask, Gateway and Device Name:
• In the upper right area of the Quick Set page are the data entry boxes for these parameters.
They contain the current values.
• A special notation is used for the IP Address and Subnet Mask: Use /x at the end of the
IP Address to specify the subnet mask: /8 for 255.0.0.0, /16 for 255.255.0.0 and /24 for
255.255.255.0. Enter a new IP Address and subnet making sure you will be able to browse to
the new address with your computer. Also, make sure that the new IP address is unique on your
LAN.
• The Gateway address should be specied if it is necessary to communicate with the radio
through the Gateway. Your system administrator should have this value.
• The Device Name is an arbitrary string and simply allows you to attach a human-friendly name
to this specic radio.
• Click “Apply Conguration” when you have entered new values. Nothing appears to happen, but
you have been disconnected and will need to browse to the new IP Address to login again.
2. Setting the User Password:
