2.3 About the Technology
The LongSpan 900-MHz Wireless Ethernet System replaces a continuous Ethernet cable connection to provide wireless data transmission in the unlicensed 900-MHz frequency spectrum. For example, in a wireless Ethernet network, the end user relies on a system of unmanned networked radios, computers, servers, and surveillance cameras to provide data and graphics transmission.
Other technologies, such as Wi-Fi
®
, don’t support the long-range distance capability of the 900-MHz system. Wi-Fi delivers a large amount of data over short distances and is great for real-time applications. Since it’s a broad-spectrum technology that relies on a licensed band of wireless transmission, Wi-Fi is frequency stagnant. Your grandparents or great-grandparents might have had a party-line phone back in the 1930s. Similar to a party-line phone, Wi-Fi shares a broad-range frequency spectrum between several users.
In contrast, the Long-Span 900-MHz Wireless Ethernet System operates over an unlicensed wireless radio band. Several advantages for using the 900-MHz frequency exist. First, this narrow-band frequency is ideal for low-speed, long-distance Ethernet data transmission. Next, it’s thermally sustainable at high temperatures. And since it’s a virtual Ethernet connection, you don’t have the hassle of installing a large wiring infrastructure.
A LongSpan wireless Ethernet uplink runs at a speed of up to 1 Mbps. If you don’t think that is fast enough for low-data rate applications, just consider that the uplink speed on a typical DSL line is 38.4 kbps, well within the 1-Mbps limit for LongSpan.
The LongSpan system works in applications where the data rate requirement is low. For example, it can be used in docking stations for a fleet of buses. At the docking station, data can be transmitted to a media player in a digital signage system. The data is stored in a buffer, then narrowcasted to digital screens on buses.
Other applications include providing links for an audio paging system at a golf course, campground, campus, or mall.
LongSpan system features:
• long-range reach (up to 40+ miles)
• robust operation
• industrial grade (operates at -40 to 158° F [-40 to +70° C])
• easy to install
• fast enough (up to 1 Mbps)
• affordable (costs less than $2000, not including camera)

Chapter 5: Configuring the Radio
5. Configuring the Radio
5.1 Digital Setup
1. The radio’s built-in browser interface enables you to configure it digitally.
2. Download the Black Box Discovery Utility from our Web site:
http://www.blackbox.com/go/LongSpan/LongSpan_Finder
This link will prompt you to either Run or Save the application. Press Run to start it immediately; press Save to save the application before running.
NOTE: This utility only runs on Microsoft Windows, not Linux or Mac. If you must use a non Windows computer for configuration, make sure your subnet mask allows your computer to see 192.168.1.17. Connect to that default IP address with your Web browser, continuing the setup procedure with Step 6.
3. Run the IP Discovery Utility, ipfinder.exe and you should see a window similar to
Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1. IP Discovery screen.
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
Page 21
LongSpan Dome Housing Kit
The LS900A should appear in the list as the default address of 192.168.1.17.
If it does not, click “Search” to regenerate the list. If it still does not appear, either you might have a connection issue and need to re-examine the cabling or you might have a firewall issue on your computer.
4. Double-click the item in the list that refers to the radio being configured. You will see a second window similar to Figure 5-2.
Figure 5-2. Radio IP Configuration screen.
The information on the left in Figure 5-2 is the current status of the radio; the boxes on the right allow you to change it. Make sure that the radio’s IP address is in the same subnet as your computer. For example, if the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0 (a class C network), the first three number groups of the IP address must match. Choose your desired parameters and click “Apply.”
5. Write down the IP address and password you just chose, then click “Go to
Device Web Page.” Your default Web browser will launch with the device IP address in the browser address bar. Or, you may launch the browser on your own and enter the Web page address manually: http://[the IP address you just set].
Page 22 724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
Chapter 5: Configuring the Radio
6. The browser page that loads first shows the current device information and QoS statistics and provides a login at the upper right. Log in using the password you just specified (or “password” if you kept the default). If the login is successful, you will see the admin page similar to Figure 5-3.
Figure 5-3. Admin page.
7. This page has sections similar to the login page showing radio statistics and device information plus it adds several new sections. The Device Settings section allows you to set the network information and choose an RF frequency channel.
The default is to allow the radio to choose its own frequency based on minimum interference. If you set a fixed channel, make sure the AP and all SUs use the same one. References to DIP switches on this and the next Web page refer to switches inside the radio that are used in the legacy method of configuration. You may ignore the DIP switches when using the Web browser method.
If you scroll down in the Admin browser page, you will come to three more sections:
• A graphical spectrum analyzer display that may help you select radio channels that avoid interference.
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
Page 23
LongSpan Dome Housing Kit
• A section you will use to update the radio’s firmware.
• An advanced links section with a warning that it’s for advanced users only.
Despite the warning, you will need to click the “Advanced Admin” button to set the device type, ID, and encryption key. You will then see a page similar to
Figure 5-4.
Figure 5-4. Advanced admin page.
8. On the Advanced Admin page, set the parameters as follows:
• Choose Device Type: Access Point or Subscriber Unit.
• For an AP, enter the number of SUs that will be communicating with it.
• For SUs, assign unique ID numbers in numeric order from 1 to 63.
• Click the box labeled “Enabled User Specified Keys.”
• Choose an 8-digit hex (0–9 and A–F) Network Name that will be common among the AP and the SUs and enter it. The hyphen is required.
Page 24 724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
Chapter 5: Configuring the Radio
• Choose a 32-digit hex Encryption Key and enter it. Again, the hyphens are required. This key must match between the AP and the SU. Write down the key.
After entering the parameters, click the “Apply” button to save them to the radio.
9. When all the radios are keyed and operating, connect them to your network and Ethernet devices as desired and cycle the radio’s power to begin normal operation. You can manage the SUs via a browser over the wireless network.
NOTE: Do not plug actively linked radios into the same switch because this will corrupt its routing table and may cause network problems just as if you plugged a CAT5 cable directly between two ports of a switch.
5.2 Physical Setup
1. Before mounting the radio in its final location, follow the digital setup instructions in Section 5.1.
2. Mount the radio securely. Maximize lightning resistance by providing a strong
DC ground connection to the metal housing.
3. Connect the radio’s TNC RF connector to a suitable antenna. A simple omnidirectional dipole unit is included—you can use this antenna for testing and for relatively undemanding applications. If your application requires greater distance and/or a wider range of direction, choose either the LongSpan Long-Distance
900-MHz Directional 15-dBi Yagi antenna (LS900-15Y) or the LongSpan
Medium-Range 900-MHz Omnidirectional 5-dBi antenna (LS900-5M).
4. The unit receives power via an Ethernet cable, so you can place the power supply in a convenient location. The included power over Ethernet (PoE) injector enables you to add DC power to unused wires in the cable. Decide where to place the PoE based on its proximity to AC power at some point along the desired path of the Ethernet cable. Plug the included power supply into an appropriate electrical outlet and into the PoE. Connect an Ethernet cable between your network and the “DATA IN” port on the PoE. Connect a second cable from the “P + DATA OUT” port on the PoE and the radio. The radio has a cable clamping device that allows an RJ-45 plug on the cable to pass through it.
You can then tighten the cable clamping device around the cable to provide a weatherproof seal.

Appendix. Troubleshooting
A.1 Problems/Solutions
Problem: No Power LED.
Solution: Check the power connections.
Problem: No radio link.
Solution: The radio is looking for its matched partner. If both radios are powered on and the Power LEDs are active, they may be too far away from each other to create the radio connection. Try other locations to get the best range. Make sure that the radios are oriented either vertically or horizontally in the same plane to point directly at each other.
Problem: Radio Link On but Quality Indicator is low.
Solution: The units may be too far away to create a good radio connection.
Try other locations that may have a less obstructed path, or try reorienting the antennas.
Problem: Ethernet LED is not lit.
Solution: Check your network connections.
