BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON NETWORKING Computers are assigned IP addresses by network operators, which have two methods available, static or dynamic IP addressing. The user of this document will need to understand how IP addressing is done at their particular location. All Canopy radio products (Subscriber Modules, Access Point Modules, and Backhaul Modules) have the default IP address of 169.254.1.1. For a computer to talk to Canopy, as it comes from the factory, either of the following conditi

• Point subscriber module in direction of the access point. Remember that when utilizing the internal patch antenna the energy is radiated out in a 60° horizontal by 60° vertical pattern. IF UTILIZING A 5.7 GHz SUBSCRIBER MODULE: the passive reflector will change the radiated pattern to 6° horizontal by 6° vertical. • Set the web page to auto-refresh (see Configuration section for further information) • Go to Alignment web page.

CABLING The following information describes the wiring standards for installing a Canopy system. All diagrams use the EIA/TIA 568B color standard. Currently shipping modules auto-sense the Ethernet cable type – either RJ-45 straight-thru cable or RJ-45 crossover cable can be used to connect a network interface card (NIC), hub, router, or switch to a module. Earlier modules did not auto-sense. In cases where older modules are used: • When connecting a Canopy device directly to a network interfac

ADVANCED FEATURES These features may be utilized in the Canopy System but are not required for basic operation. DES ENCRYPTION DES (Data Encryption Standard) is a secret key encryption scheme. The basics of DES are that it performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data utilizing a secret key. On the Canopy system, DES encryption of the over the air link is done on a per access point module or backhaul timing master module basis and does not

THE INTERFACE SCREENS The Canopy subscriber module contains a series of web pages that are used to interface to the unit. The following is a quick reference to interface screens. Note: These screens are subject to change by subsequent software versions. To access the web based interface you first must be on a computer that is in some way connected to the subscriber module. This can be done either directly or through a network. Enter the IP address of the subscriber module (default is 169.2
