AW-H5800 Point-to-point Industrial-grade, ultra-long-range 5.8 GHz line-of-sight wireless Ethernet systems
AW-H5800 Line-of-sight :: 5.8 GHz Thank you for your purchase of the AW-D5800 wireless Ethernet dome. The AvaLAN wireless radio functions in place of an Ethernet cable and provides a transparent wireless point-to-point Ethernet cable replacement. If you have any questions when configuring your AvaLAN system, please send an e-mail to support@avalanwireless.com. For a live technician, please call technical support at (650) 384-0000. AW-H5800 Kit Integrated 5.8 GHz wireless housing for fixed network cameras. Kit includes: (1) Videolarm (ACH313) outdoor housing with heater/blower (1) AW5800x outdoor radio (1) 120 VAC to 24 VAC/40 Va transformer (2) AW5-5800 5dBi omni-directional antennae (1) 120 VAC to 12 VDC power adapter (1) Power over Ethernet injector Shown with optional AW23-5800 antennae purchased separately Or upgrade to optional AW23-5800 antennae Initial setup CAMERA 1) Set up your network camera while attached to a network. Please refer to the manufacturer s instructions provided with the camera. 2) Check that the video from the camera can be viewed on a networked PC. 3) To optimize the camera for use over a wireless link, please see the camera performance FAQ at /support. DOME 1) Install the Videolarm FDW75C2N/AW-H5800 housing using the supplied 120 VAC to 24 VAC transformer. Please contact Videolarm for installation support on the housing (www.videolarm.com; (800) 554-1124). 2) Mount the network camera within the housing according to Videolarm s instructions. 3) Attach the antenna to the housing. WIRELESS SETUP 1) Install the AW5800x. 2) Attach the antenna to the AW5800x (see Appendix B for polarization guide on Page 7). 3) Attach the white power injector to the end of the Ethernet cable. 4) Attach the 120 VAC to 12 VDC power supply to the white power injector. 5) Connect an Ethernet cable from the injector to the network (or directly to a PC). 6) The AvaLAN radios automatically select the best radio channel, encrypt the Ethernet data, and transport the data wirelessly to its mate. 7) Use an Internet browser on a networked PC to view the video from the camera. Make sure the subnet/ip addresses of the PC and the camera are compatible. 8) For radio/network troubleshooting, see Page 4. PAGE 2

AW-H5800 Troubleshooting See the online installation tutorial and FAQ at. No Power LED Check the power connections. No Radio Link LED The radio is looking for its matched partner. If both units are powered up and the Power LEDs are active, they may be too far away to create the radio connection. Try other locations that may have a less obstructed path, or try reorienting the antennas. Directional antennae get their best range when they are oriented to point directly at each other with the antenna elements oriented in the same plane (i.e. vertically or horizontally). Radio LINK LED ON but Link Quality Indicator is low 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. No Ethernet LINK LED Check your network connections. Installing multiple systems in close proximity See the online installation tutorial and FAQ at. Advanced settings Automatic frequency selection mode (DIP switches all OFF for automatic mode) The AW5800x is designed to automatically select and continuously optimize the performance of its radio channel. The radio channel is monitored to ensure it is providing low error rates necessary for successful radio transmission. In the event that the error rate rises, the AW5800x will autonomously change to a new channel. There are 58 non-overlapping channels. Manual frequency selection mode This mode enables the user to restrict the operation of the AW5800x to a specific channel. This can be done by setting DIP switches 3-8 as shown in the table on Page 6. Site survey mode (DIP switch 2 default is OFF for normal operation) In this mode the AW5800x can perform a site survey. With this mode activated the radios send and receive at 100 percent capacity by transceiving self-generated simulated data. The installer can monitor the Link Quality display to assess channel quality while optimizing antennae orientation. The installer can manually select each channel to evaluate performance and identify the best channels for operation. By identifying channels with poor performance it is possible to identify possible interferers and use manual frequency selection mode to avoid portions of the band or select a fixed operating frequency. NOTE: Ethernet traffic does not get transported while the radios are in this mode. Power save mode (DIP switch 1 default is OFF for normal LED display) In this mode the display LEDs can be turned off for lower power applications (i.e. solar). PAGE 4
