Non-line-of-sight :: 900 MHz
Operational Summary
The EtherWave-WEB replaces costly wiring with a wireless Ethernet bridge that can enable remote Wi-Fi access points, Ethernet pan/tilt/zoom secu-
rity cameras, VoIP phones, or Internet kiosks. The EtherWave product family offers the ideal combination of price, range, data rate, security, interfer-
ence avoidance, quality-of-service, and ease-of-use.
The EtherWave-WEB is the best solution when:
— a Broadband Ethernet drop will cost too much or is impractical to install
— guaranteed DSL-rate throughput is required (kiosks/Wi-Fi access points/PTZ cameras)
— guaranteed latency for voice or video is required (PTZ cameras/VoIP)
— Wi-Fi is too slow due to saturation or 2.4 GHz interference (airport/mall/PTZ cameras)
— ultra-low current consumption is required (1 Watt/solar powered systems)
Features include:
—foliage penetrating, non-line-of-sight wireless Ethernet bridging
— does not interfere with Wi-Fi networks
— Highest Quality of Service (QoS) available — synchronous point-to-point protocol enables extremely low data latency and
— jitter
— 128 bit encrypted payload protection provides secure data delivery
—simple plug and play — pre-configured as matched pairs with no user programming required
— power over Ethernet enabled
— operates in the 902-928 MHz band and does not require an FCC license to operate or install
— VLAN extensions supported

System diagram
Quick setup
1) Plug in the EtherWave-WEB using the supplied injector and power adapter.
2) Connect an Ethernet cable from each EtherWave-WEB to a network device.
3) Send Ethernet traffic. For troubleshooting, see Page 4.
Each EtherWave-WEB radio automatically selects the best radio channel, encrypts the Ethernet traffic, and transports the data wirelessly to its mate.
Any Ethernet device can be connected to the EtherWave-WEB. The EtherWave-WEB functions in place of an Ethernet cable and provides a trans-
parent wireless point-to-point Ethernet cable replacement. Crossover cables are not necessary as the EtherWave-WEB automatically senses the
device (client or switch).

Check the power connections.
The radio is looking for its matched partner. If both units are powered up and the Power LEDs are active, they may be too far away to create the
radio connection. Try other locations that may have a less obstructed path or try to reorient the antennae. Yagi type antennae get their best
range when they are oriented to point directly at each other with the antenna elements oriented in the same place (eg. vertically or horizon-
tally).
The units may be too far away to create a good radio connection. Try other locations that may have a less obstructed path, or try to reorient the
antennae.
Check your network connections.
Temporarily use an Ethernet cable to see if the network is working over a wired connection. If an Ethernet cable does not work then the prob-
lem is with the network.

Automatic frequency selection mode (DIP switches — all OFF for automatic mode)
Manual frequency selection mode
Site survey mode (DIP switch 4 — default is OFF for normal operation)
Power save mode (DIP switch 1 — default is OFF for normal LED display)
Advanced settings
The EtherWave-WEB is designed to automatically select and continuously optimize the performance of its radio channel. The radio channel is
monitored to ensure it is providing low error rates necessary for successful radio transmission. In the event that the error rate rises, the Ether-
Wave-WEB will autonomously change to a new channel. There are 12 non-overlapping channels.
To restrict the operation of the EtherWave-WEB to a subset of the 902-928 band, the user may activate a manual selection mode that allows
the radio to automatically choose the best channel within a grouped subset of the 12 available channels. This is enabled by the 8 position DIP
switch on the master unit. These settings allow the EtherWave-WEB to operate on the optimal channel in one of three subsets, LOW 4, MID 4, or
HIGH 4. The DIP switch settings are:
Or, the user may wish to select a specific channel. This can be done by setting DIP switches 5-8 as shown in the table below (turn DIP 2 Off / 3
Off ).
In this mode, the EtherWave-WEB can perform a site survey. With this mode activated, the radios send and receive at 100 percent capacity by
transceiving self-generated simulated data. The installer can monitor the Link Quality display to assess channel quality while optimizing anten-
nae orientation. The installer can manually select each channel to evaluate performance and identify the best channels for operation. By identi-
fying channels with poor performance it is possible to identify possible interferers and use“manual frequency selection mode” to avoid portions
of the band or select a fixed operating frequency.
Note: Ethernet traffic does not get transported while the radios are in this mode.
In this mode, the display LEDs can be turned off for low power applications (solar).
