Recommandations à suivre impérativement
ATTENTION NE PAS METTRE SOUS TENSION SANS QUE L’EQUIPEMENT NE SOIT RACCORDE A UNE
ANTENNE VERIRIEE OU A UNE CHARGE FICTIVE DE 0.5 à 5 WATTS 50 OHMS SELON LE TYPE DE
MODEM.
ATTENTION A LA POLARITE DU 48 VDC NE PAS UTILISER DE POE AUTRE QUE CELUI FOURNI.
Attention, vérifiez en vous connectant aux antennes préinstallées, avec l'aide d'un analyseur de
spectre à mémoire que le canal radio que vous allez choisir dans la bande utilisée (445-505 MHz , 2.4-
2.5 GHz, 4.8-6.2 GHz) n'est pas occupé par une porteuse d'un niveau supérieur à -70 dBm ( par
exemple -60 dBm est un niveau supérieur à -70 dBm) dans tous les cas choisir la zone de votre canal
ou les niveaux parasites mesurés sont les plus faibles.
Manuel du Montage de l'antenne et du modem radio :
Attention, le modem radio ayant changé le montage du modem est légèrement différent le
support du modem est devenu aussi un capot protecteur.
Impératifs techniques de pose ICI
Montage antenne ICI
Montage cablage réglages Modems ICI
oAttention certains modèles ont pour le pointage et a la place des écouteurs un
Barled indiquant sur la CPE le niveau auquel est reçu le CPE par la station de base
distante, si le pointage est fait par une seule personne qui doit se déplacer d'un point
a un autre il faudra inverser les fonctions base station et CPE lors du pointage afin de
bénéficier du visuel du barled sans avoir a se déplacer du côté opposé. Si le pointage
est fait par deux personnes en liaison radio la personne coté "base sation"
demandera a la personne coté CPE quel est l'affichage obtenu selon le pointage
azimutal en cours.
oAttention de ne pas pointer sur un lobe secondaire de l'antenne.
Notice de montage des modems sur les antennes ICI
Vérifiez le contenu des cartons associés aux Modems et ne pas jeter les cartons sans les
ouvrir entièrement. Conserver les cartons emballages pour les retours sous garantie, les CD
et manuels sont dans chaque Modem radio en cas de doute téléphoner au 06 82 82 38 73
ou ayez recours a un spécialiste installateur certifié pour la pose et configuration des radio
Hypercable.
ATTENTION selon le découplage des antennes et la largeur du canal en version
4x4 le canal CH1 2x2 doit être éloigné du canal Ch2 2x2 de 200 Mhz à 400 Mhz par
exemple CH1 sur 5700 MHz et Ch2 sur 5300 MHz pour des antennes omnidirectionnelles
découplées dans le plan vertical afin d’éviter interférences et désensibilisation. En cas
d’impossibilité des filtres de bande doivent être prévus.

Chapter 1 Introduction
With MIMO High Throughput OFDM (HT-OFDM) and Dual Channels Mobile Mesh Network
technology, this radio is a high capacity Mobile Mesh node for 5GHz ISM band wireless
deployment.
There are 14 channel BWs (2.5/3/3.5/4/5/6/7/8/10/15/20/30/40/52 MHz) can be selected easily
by software. This feature provides the flexibility of deployment channel plan in high density city
area.
Compare to the traditional Single Channel Mesh Network, the Dual Channels Mobile Mesh
Network design makes the Mesh Network working better and more efficiency because of below
advantages.
1. Reduce the Co-channel interferences,
2. Better efficiency and throughput after multi-hops repeating.
3. Shorter latency for the Mesh Network.
4. More possibilities of the deployment plan with different antenna design for different
applications and environments.

1-1 Features and Benefits
4x4 MIMO HT-OFDM with dual channels Mobile Mesh
Radios implement 4x4 MIMO HT-OFDM with two independent channels and the unique
mesh network algorithm. That makes the radios switching fast between the dual channels
and keep finding the best path for data transmission, to realize the seamless Mobile Mesh
roaming with high efficiency -- higher capacity and shorter latency.
Self-healing & self-forming Mesh Protocol
Automatic configuration and routing enables the mesh networks to be self-forming and self-
healing.
Frequency Redundant for P-T-P link
When the 4x4 Mesh radio deployed as PTP link, RF2 and RF1 can worked as Frequency
redundant. When RF1 getting worse or failed, RF2 can replace the RF1 for data transmission.
Effective spectrum utility / variable capacities with 14 channel BWs
This radio has 14 channel bandwidths (2.5/3/3.5/4/5/6/7/8/10/15/20/30/40/52 MHz) for
optional, which is adjustable via software. This function provides flexibilities of channel plan
in crowded urban environment and variable capacities for different applications.
MIMO HT-OFDM technology provides amazing spectral efficiency
Up to 5.2 bits/s/Hz amazing spectral efficiency for all channel BW provided by the MIMO HT-
OFDM technology. Work with the variable channel BW options, these two combination
features provides great benefits for both crowded urban area and rural area with less
interference.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
This chapter describes initial setup of the 5GHz 4x4 MIMO HT-OFDM MESH Radio
Warnings
In order to comply with international radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, dish
antennas should be placed at a minimum of 8.7 inches (22 cm) from the bodies of all
persons. Other antennas should be laced a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) from the
bodies of all persons.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning
activity.
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the
equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the
appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that
suitable grounding is available.
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and
regulations.
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the
antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may
cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna,
please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code,
Article 810, in Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this
equipment.
To meet regulatory restrictions, the radio and the external antenna must be
professionally installed. The network administrator or other IT professional responsible
for installing and configuring the unit is a suitable professional installer. Following
installation, access to the unit should be password protected by the network
administrator to maintain regulatory compliance.

2-4 Hardware Installation
The 5GHz 4x4 MIMO HT-OFDM MESH Radio is a radio device, so it is susceptible to common causes
of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the
best possible performance:
IF there is any other 5GHz RF device deployed around the outdoor radio, try to set the channel to the
non-overlapping one.
Hardware Installation Figure
Install the bridge at a height sufficient place where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio
signals to and from the unit. A clear line-of-sight path can guarantee the performance of the RF link.
Site Surveys
Clear and flat area provide better RF range and data rate, on the contrary, physical obstructions such
as trees, electric tower, hills or buildings can reduce the performance of RF devices. Do not deploy
your radios in the location where there is any obstacle between the antennas.
Configure and verify the 5GHz 4x4 MIMO HT-OFDM MESH Radio operations first before you mount
the radio in a remote location.
Power Over Ethernet Injector is not a waterproof unit, should not be exposed to outdoor without
any protection.
