The ExtendAir G2 24GHz model number scheme uses the first two digits to define the general
frequency band (in GHz) and the last three digits to define the connector and base configuration.
• ExtendAir G2 models have one 10/100/1000BaseT PoE port and one additional
10/100/1000BaseT port (see Figure 5)
– configured with 25Mbps of full-duplex Ethernet capacity
The ExtendAir G2 24GHz models require a clear line-of-sight and proper path clearance to achieve a
high-performance, reliable connection. Perform professional path engineering and site planning before
installing this equipment.
The primary focus of this document is the installation and maintenance of the digital microwave radio,
and assumes that path engineering and site planning were already performed.
The ExtendAir G2 24GHz radios utilize radio frequencies that are considered ‘unlicensed’ in most
countries. This means that the frequency plans and radio configuration are not coordinated with other
users of the spectrum. Also, the frequency, channel-center frequencies, occupied bandwidth, and the
Transmitter-to-Receiver frequency separation (also known as T/R spacing) are utilized to allow
maximum use of the 24 GHz unlicensed band. In many bands, it is necessary to offer unique part
numbers to allow coverage of a 'sub-band' of the entire frequency band, and also to address the specific
T/R spacing that is required. The following is a table of the configurations supported.
In most cases, there are regulations or device-based conditions that limit the use of the device, such as
minimum or maximum antenna gain, antenna polarization, and maximum output power, as well as, in
some cases, application limits, limited geography of use, and other unique regulations. The link
design engineer and/or professional installer must determine these limitations and engineer/
install the system within the confines of all local regulations. Also, it is required to examine any
regulations that may apply to peripheral equipment, installation and cabling of the system that may be
regulated for human safety, electrical code, air-traffic control, and other safety-related categories. In
some cases, a need for link registration, coordination, and fees that may apply to the system usage.
Please consult your local regulatory organization(s) to determine usage requirements.
In almost all cases, the product itself must be authorized for use in your country. Either Exalt or Exalt’s
agent must have applied for certification or authorization to allow the sale and deployment of the
system within the country. It is also possible that only certain versions or configurations of the device
are allowed within a particular country. Please contact Exalt or your authorized Exalt representative
for information pertaining to your country.
Basic Features
The ExtendAir G2 24GHz Digital Microwave Radios are intended for all-outdoor mounting and
designed to be used with an indoor-mounted power injector.
For most implementations, the entire unit is typically mounted on a tower or rooftop mast structure,
with Ethernet/Power and other optional interface cables running from the unit location, through a
structure penetration, and to the power injector and connected communications equipment.

Pre-installation Tasks
This section describes the steps necessary to prepare a site for the installation of the Exalt Digital
Microwave Radio.
Link Engineering and Site Planning
Design all terrestrial wireless links prior to purchase and installation. It is best to engage professional
wireless engineering personnel to determine the viability and requirements for a well-engineered link
to meet the users’ needs for performance and reliability.
The link engineering will determine the following attributes:
• Antenna type/gain at each end of the link
• Antenna mounting height/location for proper path clearance
• Antenna system grounding
• Lightning arrestor type(s), location(s), and grounding
• Radio mounting location and mechanisms
• Radio grounding
• Radio transmitter output power setting
• Anticipated received signal level (RSL) at each end
• Anticipated fade margin and availability performance at each end
• Radio settings for modulation and occupied bandwidth
• Anticipated throughput performance
With respect to radio path and site planning, these radios are generally identical to other microwave
terrestrial wireless systems. Engineering of these systems requires specific knowledge about the
radios, including:
• RF specifications (transmitter output power, receiver threshold, occupied channel bandwidth, and
carrier-to-interference tolerance)
• Regulatory limitations on transmitter output power setting and antenna type/gain
• Noise/interference profile for the intended location (where applicable)
Familiarization with the ExtendAir G2 24GHz Radios
The ExtendAir G2 24GHz radios utilize frequency division duplex (FDD) radio transmission. This
means that the radio transmits on one center frequency in one direction while simultaneously receiving
on a different center frequency in the opposite direction. This provides full-duplex configuration with
equal capacity in both directions and minimal latency.
The radios are configured in Horizontal (TX-H) and Vertical pairs (TX-V), with alternate frequency
settings for Transmit and Receive on the opposite ends of the link. The internal diplexers can be
configured in the field (for example, to change a TX-H to a TX-V configuration) to ease sparing and
re-configuration.
Exalt recommends using the Exalt GUI for radio configuration. This interface requires a computer
with an Ethernet port and web browser software, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 11.0 or above.

See Configuration and Management for details on how to connect to and use the browser-based GUI
interface.
Shipping Box Contents
The terminals are shipped as individual endpoints. As mentioned, it takes two terminals–one TX-H
and one TX-V–to make a complete link. An outer box has labeling that indicates the contents of the
box, with the part number and serial number details for the radio terminal. The terminal box contains
the following items:
• Radio terminal
• Accessory kit (includes reset connector)
• Registration card
• Quick-start guide
Power solutions are sold separately. Power for the ExtendAir G2 models comply with the 802.3at
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard. Any 802.3at PoE device is compliant with these models.
You must mount the radio to the proper direct-mount antenna, therefore no mounting hardware is
required.
Inspect the outer packaging and the contents of the boxes upon receipt. If you suspect any shipping
damage or issues with the contents, contact Exalt Customer Care (see Introduction).
Outdoor-rated and shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable, such as Belden 1300A, with RJ-45 connectors is
recommended for the Ethernet connections. For Ethernet connections, a maximum length of 100
meters applies to the total length of the cabling between the radio terminal and the first network-aware
connection (such as a switch or router).
Initial Configuration and Back-to-Back Bench Test
Every Exalt digital microwave radio goes through extensive quality testing and performance
evaluation over the full operating temperature range prior to shipment. However, before installation, it
is strongly advised to perform several tests and tasks that are much more difficult to perform once the
radio link endpoints are distant from one another. A back-to-back bench test and pre-configuration will
provide confidence that the radio link is operational and properly configured prior to installation, so
that if troubleshooting is necessary, the radio hardware and configuration settings are eliminated from
the troubleshooting process. Verify the following in the back-to-back testing:
• Confirm that the radio system is generally operational
– Radios power-up with planned power and wiring solutions
– Radio firmware version matches on each terminal (and is ideally the latest version)
– RF link connects in both directions
– Traffic passes across the link
• Configure connected equipment and cabling
– Test Ethernet (CAT5e) cabling, any auxiliary connector cabling, and configure all interfaces
– Configure IP settings for configuration and management
Note: Register your system as soon as possible. A 2-year Warranty period applies. See
Exalt Limited Hardware Warranty Software License and RMA Procedures Agreement.

Exalt Installation and Management Guide
ExtendAir G2 24GHz Digital Microwave Radios
6209866-002

– Configure passwords and security modes
– Become familiar with the configuration and management interfaces through the Exalt GUI
interface
– Configure radio parameters
– Set transmitter output power to engineered or allowed level (see RF Output Power Setting)
– Set operating center frequency
– Set occupied channel bandwidth and modulation
• Make detailed radio performance measurements
– Measure transmitter output power
– Measure receiver threshold performance
– Confirm unfaded error-free performance
Some of these tasks may not be possible or practical within a bench test environment due to the nature
of the remote connectivity of peripheral equipment. However, it is good practice to perform as much as
possible in this environment to minimize field/installation time and troubleshooting efforts.
Detailed performance measurements are usually not required for pre-installation, but can be easily
performed at this stage and may be helpful for later troubleshooting efforts or for internal records.
During troubleshooting, there may often be a point at which a back-to-back bench test should be
performed to verify many or all of the above items, and in the case of a suspected faulty device, to help
confirm the fault and determine which end of the system is at fault and in need of repair or
replacement.
RF Output Power Setting
The maximum RF output power is bounded by one of the following criteria:
• Maximum RF output power setting capability of the radio device
• Maximum RF output power allowed/authorized by the local government regulations and for this
specific device
• Maximum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of the transmission system allowed/
authorized by the local government regulations and for this specific device
• Desired RSL to not exceed the maximum RSL allowed by the device
• Desired RSL to minimize/eliminate interference into neighboring systems
Critical Configuration Considerations
The ExtendAir G2 24GHz radios are very dynamic, allowing the installer to optimize and control the
performance of the radio system for the intended application. The following parameters must be
carefully determined during the link engineering phase:
Note: See Back-to-back Bench Testing for detailed instructions.
Note: In many cases the radio must be pre-configured for legal maximum output power
before connecting to the antenna and transmission system. Instructions for adjusting the
output power can also be found in Power.

•Bandwidth
• Mode (modulation)
The setting of the above parameters determines the Ethernet throughput.
Use a professional link planning tool to determine optimum settings for the above parameters to meet
the needs of your application.
Note the following generalizations regarding these factors:
• The higher the bandwidth, the higher the capacity
• The higher the mode, the higher the capacity
Single IP Architecture
Exalt radios have a single IP architecture. The IP resides on the processor for management
connectivity. If you are planning to use Out-of-Band management (see the Ethernet Interface
Configuration Page), ensure that devices connected to the radio are properly configured. The
management port (typically Ethernet 1) must be completely separate from the traffic (router or switch)
ports. You can achieve this by using a separate switch or configuring a management-traffic specific
VLAN for the radio management port.
Radio Default Configuration
Radios arrive from manufacture in default configuration configured as shown in Table 2.

all possible, obtain a computer and configure the radio terminals using the browser-based
GUI. See Exalt Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Radio Reset
Use the reset function if the IP address and/or passwords are lost. Use the steps particular to your radio
model to perform a critical parameter reset.
The following configurations are reset on the radio when performing a reset:
• IP address = 10.0.0.1
• IP mask = 255.0.0.0
• IP gateway = 0.0.0.0
• Administration password = password
• User password = password
• VLAN = disabled
Performing a Reset
To perform a radio reset, you must have a mechanism to connect the radio’s RSL/BNC port between
the center pin and the shield to provide a “short” between the two conductors. Common methods for
this are:
• Using the BNC termination provided in the radio accessory kit.
• Using a standard voltmeter BNC cable, attach a jumper clip to the voltmeter end to short the two
conductors.
• Using a BNC male connector assembly, connect or solder a wire or jumper to short the center pin
and outer shield.
Once the RSL/BNC port shorting mechanism solution is identified, follow this procedure:
1Remove the power source, preferably at the AC or PoE DC input.
2Remove the RSL/BNC port cover on the radio.
3Install the RSL/BNC port shorting mechanism chosen above.
4Apply power.
5Wait until the internal beeper sounds (approximately 1 minute). You can verify the reset by
pinging the 10.0.0.1 default IP address.
6Remove the RSL/BNC port shorting mechanism.
7Replace the RSL/BNC port cover.
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)
VLAN segments information in a single connection and creates multiple separate connections to
secure information of one type or for one set of users from other information types or for other sets of
users. Exalt’s VLAN communications implementation adheres to the IEEE standard 802.1q.
In most cases, an Exalt radio acting as a Layer 2 bridge between two locations is only required to pass
traffic with VLAN tagging. Without additional configuration, all Exalt radios support frame sizes in
excess of 1900 bytes, which currently supports all defined VLAN packet sizes.

Exalt Installation and Management Guide
ExtendAir G2 24GHz Digital Microwave Radios
209866-002 9
2015-09-09
Some situations require Exalt radios to act upon VLAN traffic and perform any or all of the following
functions:
• Connect specific traffic, using VLAN tagging, to a specific port on the radio, such as management
traffic to the ETH1/PoE port.
• Allow only traffic with specifically assigned VLANs to pass across the link, blocking all other
VLANs or any non-VLAN traffic.
• Allow management access only through a VLAN connection, leaving the main traffic transparent.
• Allow management access without a VLAN connection, but flowing only specific VLAN traffic
across the link.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The Exalt radios primarily use a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) for radio configuration
and management, as described in Exalt Graphical User Interface (GUI). In addition, a command line
interface (CLI) is provided for SSH or Telnet access, as described in Command Line Interface (CLI).
SNMP is often used for management of larger networks as described here. Use SNMP to manage
networked devices and execute the following functions:
• GET: Obtain information from the device, such as a configuration setting or parameter.
• SET: Change a configuration setting on the device.
• TRAP: The device proactively informs the management station of a change of state, usually used
for critical alarms or warnings.
One feature of the SNMP implementation is that system configuration changes do not take effect using
the SET command. Instead, groups of configuration settings can be preconfigured for global change,
and a single ‘Save’ (Commit) command implements all changes.
When some parameters are changed, a link may drop and/or management control lost. MIB files allow
many parameters to be set at once, allowing only a temporarily dropped link or management control
issue. The opposite end radio can be quickly reconfigured, with little downtime for the link and
management control. The save (Commit) command is similar to the Update button.
Dropped links or management control issues do not occur with every parameter change. Many
configuration changes do not impact traffic or management access.
Exalt radios utilize SNMPv3, a high security version of SNMP, to ensure secure access to and storing
of management data. The SNMPv3 security string matches the admin and user passwords. Passwords
must be eight characters or longer. SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 are also supported.
Note: If an application only requires the transparent passing of VLAN traffic, disable the
VLAN function.
Note: MIB files downloadable from the radio are listed on the File Transfer Page. You can
also find MIB files for your radio on exaltcom.com. MIBs for Exalt radios are model specific.

Record Keeping
After installation, record the following items for ongoing maintenance and future troubleshooting.
Keep a record for each end of the radio link and store a copy of these records at the radio location, at
the opposite end radio location, and a central record storage location.
• GPS coordinates for antenna locations at each site
• Antenna heights above ground level (AGL), as mounted
• Antenna model numbers, serial numbers, and specifications
• Length/type of primary transmission lines at each site
• Model number and serial number of lightning arrestors
• Transmitter output power setting as installed at each site
• RSL as measured after antenna alignment at each site
• Designed RSL per original design at each site
• RSL reading with far-end power off (from each end)
• Spectrum analyzer plot with far end off at each site
• Radio’s network management IP address at each site
• Radio’s network management gateway address at each site
• Radio’s operating frequency, bandwidth setting, and mode of operation
• Optionally purchased extended warranty and/or emergency service contract details
In addition, certain information may be desired for central record-keeping only:
• Link security codes and log in passwords (stored in a secure place)
• Photographs of complete installation
• End-user sign-off/acceptance documentation (if any)
• Photo of product identification label (part number, serial number, MAC address information)
• Electronic copy of radio’s configuration file
• Electronic copy of radio’s installed software

Installation
This section presents all tasks required to install the Exalt Digital Microwave Radio.
Mechanical Configuration and Mounting
The ExtendAir G2 24GHz radios are environmentally sealed units intended for deployment outdoors.
The device must be deployed within an ambient temperature range as specified, and with non-restrictive
airflow around the chassis.
Provide proper clearance for all cables and connectors attached to the device.
Mounting the System
You must mount this radio directly to the antenna. The antenna must be the proper type for this to be
accomplished (see Antennas).
Figure 4 Direct-mount configuration
Use the following steps to direct-mount the radio:
1Mount the antenna with the proper polarization alignment, following the instructions provided
with the antenna.
2Using non-corrosive silicone grease (typically provided with the antenna), grease the rubber
O-ring on the antenna fitting.
Note: Unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, the power injector and power supply
must be placed indoors or in an enclosure.
Note: You must mount the ExtendAir G2 24GHz with the handle facing up (Figure 4). The
system utilizes both polarizations of the antenna to achieve the full duplex link and cannot
operate properly if the radios are oriented in any other manner.
