1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Revision
Fastback Networks & Sub10 Systems reserve the right to revise this documentation periodically without any
obligation to provide notification of such revision or changes.
1.2 Intended Users & Software Version
This manual is intended for all installation and service personnel who are involved in the planning, installation,
operation and maintenance of the Liberator-V100 and V1000 equipment.
This Manual refers to Liberator-V100 running Software Version 01.01.01.17, and Liberator-V1000 running Software
Version 02.01.03.12. Please ensure that the software on the radio terminals is the latest version on the Fastback
Networks website: http://www.fastbacknetworks.com
1.3 Safety Information
1.3.1 Grounding
The V1000 radio terminal (outdoor unit) must be properly grounded to protect against lightning strikes. It is the
user’s responsibility to ensure that the equipment is installed in accordance with national regulations:
USA: Articles 810 & 830 of the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984
Other countries may require different regulations.
1.3.2 Power Supply
The Sub10 Systems PoE++ power injector should always be used to power the Liberator-V100 / V1000. The
installer must ensure that a mains voltage supply cable approved for the country of installation is used.
1.3.3 Maintenance and Servicing
•Always disconnect the primary power source before undertaking maintenance/repair of the radio
terminal (Outdoor Unit).
•At least once per year, each radio terminal (Outdoor Unit) must be inspected for signs of corrosion.
1.4 Warranty
Sub10 Systems warrants to the original end user (purchaser) that this product is free from any defects in
materials or workmanship for a period of up to 24 months (2 years) from the date of shipment to the end
user.

2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
2.1 Top Level Description
The Liberator-V100 and V1000 systems operate in the unlicensed 60 GHz
band between 57 GHz and 64 GHz. The antenna radome face measures
only 18cm x 18cm (7” x 7”), making it ideal for unobtrusive urban
deployments.
2.1.1 Benefits
•Network performance –Full-duplex data rate 100Mbps (V100), and up to 1Gbps (V1000).
•Licence-free operation –The system has been approved and can be operated in many countries without
needing an individual regulatory licence for each link.
•System administration –The user can manage the link either via the HTML user interface or by integrating it
into a network management tool via SNMP.
•Security –Data traffic is very secure due to signal absorption by atmospheric oxygen and the high
gain/narrow beamwidth antennas.
2.1.2 Applications
•LAN extension
•Redundant access
•Campus connectivity
•Disaster recovery
•Wireless backhaul

2.3.2 Alignment Bracket
The alignment bracket is very simple to use and has locking nuts.
2.3.3 PoE++ Injector
The Power-over-Ethernet power (PoE) supply conforms to “PoE++” specifications. It is recommended that the
Sub10 Systems PoE++ power injector should always be used to power the Liberator-V100 / V1000. The installer
must use a mains voltage supply cable approved for the country of installation.

2.3.4 Mast Bracket
The mast bracket is used to mount the bracket onto a mast from 50 mm to 115 mm diameter.
2.3.5 Ice Bridge/Sun-Shield
The ice bridge protects the terminal against rain, snow and ice.
2.3.6 RJ45 Seal Kit
The RJ45 seal kit connects the Ethernet tail from the ODU to a CAT 5e drop cable, and includes a rain hood.

2.4 Accessories and Spares (available to order as additional parts)
2.4.1 Optical Alignment Scope
The optical scope screws onto the back of the ODU.
2.4.2 Surge Arrestor
The surge arrestor is placed between the ODU and the Ethernet cable
connecting to the PoE.
2.4.3 Wall-mount bracket
The wall-mount bracket allows the alignment bracket to be mounted directly onto a flat surface.

4 Installation
When working on a roof, ladder, or mast, take
extreme care, observing all facility and OSHA (or
other applicable regulatory agency) safety
precautions.
4.1 Terminal installation
4.1.1 Terminal installation –Polarization
It is important to install the terminal on the bracket with the same orientation (antenna polarization) at both ends of
the link.
Figure 14 - V1000 backhousing with arrow indicating the polarization direction
4.2 Grounding
The terminal must be properly grounded.
Two screws are provided on the rear housing of the terminal for grounding.

4.3 Alignment Procedure
The following procedure achieves fast, accurate alignment.
Figure 16 - Adjustment screws
•Use a 6mm tool to adjust the scope
•Measure the Voltage via the DC port (Power Level Alignment)
•Use the Voltage vs. RSSI graph to check the signal level

5.3 Operation
5.3.1 Operation - Radio –Radio Status
The Radio Status page shows the wireless parameters.
Transmit Power: Settings are limited to “High / Medium / Low”.
RSSI (dBm): Received power at the antenna port (inside the ODU).
Vector Error (dB): A measure of the signal quality.
MWU Temp (Celsius): Operating temperature of the microwave unit inside the radio.
Air Frame Error Ratio: % error rate over the air.
Ethernet Rx / Tx (Mbps): User traffic rate on the Ethernet interface.
For each parameter, the local side of the link displays values for the Minimum, Mean, Maximum and
Snapshot values.

5.4 Administration
5.4.1 Administration –QoS
The QoS has 8 priority queues.
Figure 24 -QoS settings

Liberator-V100 / V1000 User Manual Rev 03v12p4
Page 19 FBN Doc #: FBN-0098_03v12p4
5.4.2 Administration –Radio
The Transmit Power Limit sets the power to either: High, Medium or Low.
Tx Power Setting
QPSK (700Mbps max)
8PSK (1Gbps)
High
+6 dBm
+2 dBm
Medium
+3 dBm
-1 dBm
Low
-5 dBm
-5 dBm
Enabling ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control), will allow the transmit power to be dynamically adjusted by
the radio in response to changing propagation conditions (e.g. rain fade).
The Modulation Mode can be used to change modulation mode between fixed QPSK (up to 700Mbps) and 8PSK
(1Gbps) with adaptive modulation.
Frequency Selection - The Tx/Rx channels can be selected. WARNING: it is the responsibility of the installer
to ensure that the correct frequency channels are selected in accordance with the in-country radio
regulations.
