1: Introduction Figure 1 EUM3005 Indoor Modem 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.
1: Introduction • 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 reassign 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.
1: Introduction • Power Supply on page 6 1.3.2 EUM3005 Active Diversity Indoor Antenna The EUM3005 Active Diversity Indoor Antenna uses switched-beam diversity. This antenna, shown in Figure 2, 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).
1: Introduction Beam Pattern A Figure 3 Beam Pattern B WaveRider 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 1.4, Indicators and Connectors, can be used to help with the alignment.
1: Introduction 1.4 Indicators and Connectors The EUM3005 is equipped with LED indicators that provide a visual indication of the status of the unit and its interfaces.

A payload is a packet with real data. • Transmitted Payloads: shows how many payloads were successfully transmitted the 1st time or needed to be sent a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time to get through, as well as how many packets failed to get through at all.
3 3.1 Installation Installation Checklist A successful installation is divided into pre-installation, installation and post-installation stages, with each stage outlined in the following checklists. The Pre-Installation Stage Checklist involves the Network Operator as well as the installer. Table 5 Pre-Installation Stage Checklist Step Discussion section 3.2.1, Network and EUM3005 Configuration The network must be properly configured by the Network Operator to accept the new modem. section 3.2.
3: Installation Table 6 Installation Stage Checklist Step Discussion section 3.3.1, Locating the EUM3005 Find the best location for mounting the EUM3005, with a good RF signal and at least 1 foot away from where people will stand. section 3.3.2, Mounting and Orienting the EUM3005 Antenna The EUM3005 antenna mounts to a wall, window or horizontal surface. Once a location with good signal levels is found, optimize the signal by selecting the best orientation of the antenna.
3: Installation The easiest installation uses the EUM3005 factory defaults, so that the modem will gets all its IP address information from DHCP and its RF Frequency from the Automatic CCU Discovery feature. Other useful information for the installer includes: • Direction from the installation site to the CCU. • Expected signal strength for the installation site based on the network operator’s site survey or signal strength for other installations in the vicinity.
3: Installation 3.3.1 Locating the EUM3005 The EUM3005 antenna should be mounted on or near an outside wall or window, pointing in the direction to the CCU. The higher in the building, the better the signal level will be. So locating in the attic or second storey is preferred to the main floor or basement. You can use just the EUM3005 and its antenna to find a good signal, before connecting to the end-user’s PC.
3: Installation 1. Connect the end-user’s PC by attaching a crossover Ethernet cable between the Ethernet port on the end-user’s computer and the Ethernet port on the modem. 2. Plug the power supply into the EUM3005 first, then into the AC socket. Wait 10 seconds for the EUM3005 to come up. 3. Check the Ethernet LEDs on the Ethernet interface of the modem and/or end-user’s PC to ensure the Ethernet connection between the EUM3005 and the end-user’s PC is active.
3: Installation on the CCU sector and the loading over the rest of the Internet. So this test is not the best test for ensuring that the modem to CCU link is operating at its correct speed. But it should indicate that the PC is able to communicate with a site on the Internet. If any of these tests fail, then the installer may need to check the modem, its alignment, the cabling, the PC’s configuration and the RF link.
3: Installation This is what an unsuccessful ping from the end-user’s PC to the EUM looks like: C:\>ping 169.254.10.250 Pinging 169.254.10.250 with 32 bytes of data: Request Request Request Request timed timed timed timed out. out. out. out. Ping statistics for 169.254.10.
3: Installation NOTE: If this test fails with the long packets, but pinging the Gateway with the default packet size succeeds, then the connection is working but is not operating at maximum capacity, possibly due to poor antenna placement or orientation, poor signal levels, and/or interference. The following example assumes the Gateway has an IP address of 172.16.4.1. Replace that address with the correct gateway address from the ‘ipconfig’ command: C:\>ping 172.16.4.1 -t -l 1472 Pinging 172.16.4.
