1: Introduction
APCD-LM048-1.1 5
• Installation Tools - The EUM3006 has two new tools to make installation and
alignment easy and error-free.
• MDB1000 - This hand-held, battery-powered device displays detailed key
signal quality information to allow the EUM3006 to be located and aligned to
the best RF signal possible by a single installer. The MDB1000 can be in any
position to provide easy viewing.
• SETUP Menu - The EUM3006 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 EUM3006 and
troubleshoot the link. This avoids needing to know the IP address and
password of the modem.
Detailed specifications for the EUM3006 can be found on the WaveRider website.
1.3 EUM3006 - End-user Modem or Customer Premises
Equipment
The EUM3006 Integrated Outdoor Modem, shown in Figure 1 , is a rugged outdoor wireless
modem that connects to the end-user’s computer through an Ethernet connection. It is
installed 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
The EUM3006, which acts as a network bridge, receives data from the CCU ( C ommunication
Access Point C hannel U nit = base station) over the 900 MHz radio link, and then forwards this
data to EUM3006 internal processes or to the end-user’s computer through the Ethernet port.
In the other direction, the EUM3006 forwards data received from the end-user’s computer over
the radio link to the CCU
1.3.1 Key Components
These key components of the customer-premises equipment are described on the following
pages:
• EUM3006 Integrated, High Gain, Active Diversity Antenna on page 5
• Ethernet Port on page 6
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector on page 7
• PoE Lightning Arrestor on page 8
1.3.2 EUM3006 Integrated, High Gain, Active Diversity Antenna
The EUM3006 has its antenna integrated with the modem in one package, designed for the
rugged outdoor environment. The EUM3006 antenna is a high gain, active diversity antenna
that ensures that the EUM3006 output power is at the maximum allowed by the FCC. The
active diversity feature selects the best signal from horizontal and vertical polarizations on a
per packet received basis. Active diversity improves performance in a multi-path fading
