4.2 Pre-Installation Steps
4.2.1 Network and EUM3006 Configuration
There are a number of steps that must be undertaken by the network operator before installing
an EUM3006. For more information, see the LMS4000 Data Networking Concepts, LMS4000
Radio Concepts and LMS4000 Managing the Network manuals on the WaveRider web-site.
1. CCU Authorization: Ensure that the EUM is authorized at one or more CCUs with the
appropriate Grade of Service.
2. IP Addresses: Configure a DHCP server to accept the new EUM3006’s request for
an IP address, if the modem has DHCP enabled (factory default). If not using DHCP,
then the EUM must be manually configured with the following settings:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP address
3. Frequency Assignment: If the Auto CCU Discovery feature (factory default) is used,
then the EUM will search for the CCU upon power up. This is the recommended
approach. If for some reason this is not acceptable, then the EUM3006 must be
configured with its radio frequency.
The easiest installation uses the EUM3006 factory defaults, so that the modem will gets all its
IP address information from DHCP and its RF Frequency from the Auto CCU Discovery
feature.
4.2.2 Installer’s Kit and Information
The installer needs the following standard items to complete an installation. These items are
not provided with the EUM3006 modem.
• Pole Mounting HW - provides a vertically aligned 1 - 3.0” pole or pipe, securely
attached to building or tower. Typically this is a Satellite TV wall or roof mount.
• Grounding Conductor and clamps- to provide a good ground for the modem, both for
RF performance and safety requirements. The grounding conductor attaches to the
bolt marked ‘GND’ on EUM3006 at one end and to the building’s Power Service
Grounding Electrode System using a clamp at the other end. The grounding
conductor can also be connected to the Pole Mounting Hardware. The grounding
conductor must be at least 12 AWG copper wire, with a lug with a hole for #12 bolt at
one end. The US National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 810-21 provides guidelines
for the grounding conductor.
• Tie wraps - or other means to secure the outdoor Ethernet cable and Grounding
Conductor to the mounting HW and walls, in order to provide drip loops and strain
relief.
• PoE Lighting Arrestor - may be required by local or national electrical codes. The
protector must be able to protect all 8 conductors and must be able to pass the DC
power as well as the data.
