AW-H5800

AvaLAN AW-D5800 is an industrial-grade, ultra-long-range 5.8 GHz line-of-sight wireless Ethernet system, designed for point-to-point wireless Ethernet cable replacement in harsh environments. It features automatic frequency selection, manual frequency mode, status LEDs, sub-block error detection and retransmission, and a wide temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. With a radio link budget of 128 dB (with 5 dBi antenna) or 164 dB (with 23 dBi antenna), it can achieve a line-of-sight range of up to 1 mile (with 5 dBi antenna) or 40 miles (with 23 dBi antenna).

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 conguring your AvaLAN system, please send an e-mail to [email protected].

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 www.avalanwireless.com/support.

DOME

1) Install the Videolarm FDW75C2N/AW-D5800 dome housing using the supplied 120 VAC to 24 VAC transformers. Please contact

Videolarm for installation support on the dome housing (www.videolarm.com; (800) 554-1124).

2) Mount the network camera within the dome housing according to Videolarm’s instructions.

3) Attach the antenna to the dome.

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.

No Ethernet LINK LED

Installing multiple systems in close proximity

Check the power connections.

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.

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. Direc-

tional 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).

Check your network connections.

See the online installation tutorial and FAQ at www.avalanwireless.com.

Automatic frequency selection mode (DIP switches — all OFF for automatic mode)

Manual frequency selection mode

Site survey mode (DIP switch 2 — default is OFF for normal operation)

Power save mode (DIP switch 1 — default is OFF for normal LED display)

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.

This mode enables the user to restrict the operation of the AW5800x to a specic channel. This can be done by setting DIP switches

3-8 as shown in the table on Page 6.

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 xed operating frequency.

NOTE: Ethernet trafc does not get transported while the radios are in this mode.

In this mode the display LEDs can be turned off for lower power applications (i.e. solar).
