In accordance with the FCC Part 15 regulations:
1. The maximum average power output of the intentional radiator shall not
exceed one (1) watt (30 dBm) for all spread spectrum systems operating in
the 902 to 928MHz band.
2. Stations operating in the 902 to 928MHz band may use transmitting antennas
of directional gain greater than 6dBi, provided the average output power from
the intentional radiator is reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain
of the antenna exceeds 6dBi.
3. The operator of a spread spectrum system and the user of the radio device
are each responsible for ensuring that the system is operated in the manner
outlined in Interference Environment on page ix.

:
APCD-LM047-2.1 x
The EUM3005 with its indoor diverstiy antenna complies with these requirements, since the
maximum average transmitting power is 24.4 dBm measured at the antenna port . This is 5.6
dB below the maximum allowed, so the active diversity indoor antenna system with its 4.4 dBi
gain, including the loss in the captive RF cable, is allowed.

1 Introduction
The LMS4000 900 MHz Radio Network provides wireless high-speed Internet connectivity to
business, SOHO (small office, home office) and residential customers. LMS4000 operates in a
point-to-multipoint configuration, with one base station efficiently serving many subscriber
stations. LMS4000 transmission is based on a high-performance MAC protocol, and industry-
standard IP routing, Ethernet switching and data encryption technology. No radio license is
required, since LMS4000 operates in the 900 MHz ISM band. LMS4000 can deliver Internet
service over long ranges and often where the radio paths between the base station and
subscribers are partially or even totally obscured, that is, non-line-of-sight. Connection
between the end-user’s computer and the subscriber station is through an Ethernet port.
The EUM3005 is the latest indoor modem for the LMS4000 system and offers significant
improvements over the EUM3004: higher output power, extended temperature range, DHCP
Client, Automatic CCU Discovery, Automatic Remote Configuration, Secure Authentication
and User Data Encryption support, easy-to-use Setup menu, and enhanced VoIP support.

1.2 EUM3005 Features
The EUM3005, shown in Figure 1 with the indoor active diversity antenna, is an indoor
wireless modem that connects to the end-user's computer through an Ethernet connection. It
is installed indoors at the end-user's premises and provides an interface to the customer's
computer or local area network on one side and wireless access to the LMS4000 network on
the other.

1: Introduction
APCD-LM047-2.1 3
Figure 1 EUM3005 Indoor Modem with Indoor Active Diversity Antenna
The EUM3005, which acts as a network bridge, receives data from the CCU (Communication
Access Point Channel Unit or base station) over the 900 MHz radio link, and then forwards this
data to EUM3005 internal processes or to the end-user's computer through the Ethernet port.
In the other direction, the EUM3005 forwards data received from the end-user's computer over
the radio link to the CCU3000.
The EUM3005 has new features that provide improved RF performance as well as ease of
installation and extended temperature range. The RF performance is enhanced due to the
improved transmit power. Hardware and software improvements make installation easier than
ever, allowing rapid deployment, single person installation, and even end-user self-installation.
These improvements include alignment tools, and Automatic Remote Configuration of key
parameters using DHCP and RADIUS. Automatic Remote Configuration also allows the
network operator to easily manage and reconfigure the EUM3005 after it is installed, including
changing frequency, passwords, and SNMP parameters.
Key features of the EUM3005 include:
•Easy Indoor Installation - The EUM3005 is an indoor unit. The EUM3005 can work
in uninhabited indoor locations, such as attics, if there is an adequate RF signal. The
advantages of an indoor unit and an indoor antenna include:
• More flexible installations.
• An easily mounted antenna, designed for indoor use.
• No long RF cable runs.
• Lower installation costs, since the modem can be installed by the end-user.
•Active diversity indoor antenna - There are many advantages to the EUM3005’s
active diversity indoor antenna:
• Reduced RF losses since there are no long cable runs.
• Active diversity, which is done on a packet by packet basis, so that the
EUM3005 performs better in a multi-path fading environment.
• Easy mounting and positioning antenna, using a wall, window, window frame,
or other surface.

1: Introduction
•Higher RF Power1- As a result of changes to the FCC rules, the EUM3005 can
provide higher output power. Previous indoor modems were limited to 26 dBm PEAK
power at their antenna port. The EUM3005 provides 27.3 dBm PEAK power.
•DHCP Client enabled (factory default)- The EUM3005 can obtain its IP address,
subnet mask and IP gateway information from a DHCP server, reducing the amount of
configuration needed for installation. This also allows the Network Operator to re-
assign IP addresses to EUMs without having to access the EUM itself.
•Automatic CCU Discovery (factory default) - The EUM3005 searches the full RF
frequency range to locate CCUs. It then selects the CCU with the best RF signal that
allows it to register. With this and DCHP Client enabled (factory defaults), the installer
does not need to enter ANY configuration parameters into the EUM3005 in order to
install it.
•Automatic Remote Configuration - The EUM3005 will accept parameters from a
RADIUS server to set other configurable parameters in the modem. These
parameters include: password, all SNMP parameters, RF Frequency (including
enabling Automatic CCU Discovery), and number of customers.
•Secure Authentication and User Data Encryption: The EUM3005 can perform
mutual authentication with the CCU using the secure 4-way handshake mechanism of
WPA2. All user data flowing over the air can be encrypted using the industry standard
IEEE802.11 TKIP cypher. Traffic to and from each EUM is encrypted using a key
specific to that EUM, ensuring message integrity and privacy for each user.
• Installation Tools - The EUM3005 has LEDs and a SETUP Menu to make installation
and alignment easy and error-free. The EUM3005 supports the local link IP address,
169.254.10.250, on its Ethernet port at all times. Using the local-link address, the user
can use the password “setup” to call up the setup menu that allows any user to check
the RF link quality to help align the EUM3005 and troubleshoot the link. This avoids
needing to know the IP address and password of the modem.
Detailed specifications for the EUM3005 can be found on the WaveRider website.

1: Introduction
1.3.1 EUM3005 Active Diversity Indoor Antenna
The EUM3005 Active Diversity Indoor Antenna uses switched-beam diversity. This antenna,
shown in Figure 4, performs very well in cases where the radio path to the CCU is obstructed
and/or where there is significant multipath. The antenna comes with a mounting bracket and is
designed to mount vertically on walls (using drywall screws), or horizontally (on desks, for
example, using the suction cups). The concave surface of the antenna is the front.
Figure 4 EUM3005 Indoor Antenna with Switched-beam Diversity
The EUM3005 Active Diversity Indoor Antenna contains two vertical antenna elements
mounted inside and on either side of the antenna housing. The phasing between these
elements, which modifies the antenna pattern, is controlled by a DC voltage from the
EUM3005. It produces two patterns, one perpendicular to the face of the antenna, which has a
gain of about 6 dBi (not including cable loss), and the other, a dual-beam pattern off both
sides, offering about 3 dBi gain for each beam. These beam patterns are illustrated in Figure
5.
The EUM3005 samples the signal strength from both antenna patterns during the preamble of
every received packet and automatically selects the best signal. When the EUM3005
transmits, it sends on the antenna pattern that was last used to receive a signal.

Figure 5 EUM3005 Switched-beam Diversity Antenna — Beam Patterns
The end user must position the switched-beam diversity antenna correctly to receive an
adequate signal level. The Radio LED on the EUM3005, described in section 1.3.2, EUM3005
Modem - External Indicators and Connectors, or the setup menu, described in Setup Menu on
page 11, can be used to help with the alignment. Since the switched-beam diversity antenna
has a good front-to-back ratio, it can be positioned to suppress interference from other
wireless devices at the end-user’s premises.
The EUM3005 is not approved to be used with any other antenna. For installations requiring
an outdoor antenna, the EUM3006 Integrated Outdoor Modem is recommended for its
superior performance and ease of installation.
The EUM3005 Active Diversity Indoor Antenna comes equipped with a 3 m RF cable and
connector. The connector is a proprietary WaveRider connector, which is mandated by the
FCC requirement that the connectors used in ISM band products that are not professionally
installed must be unique, or at least not readily available.
1.3.2 EUM3005 Modem - External Indicators and Connectors
The EUM3005 has 3 connectors on the back plate to connect the modem to the end-user’s
computer, the antenna and the power supply.
The EUM3005 also has 6 LEDs, three on the back plate and 3 on the front. Two of the back
plate LEDs, Ethernet Link and Signal Level, are repeated on the front, making it easier for the
user to see the status of the modem and its RF signal.
Figure 6 shows the layout of the EUM3005 Connectors and LEDs, while Table 1, Tabl e 2, and
Tabl e 3 explain what each LED means.
