19FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)Q1. How to restore the CPE to its factory default settings?With the CPE powered on, press and hold the 'RESET' button of the CPE or the 'Remote Reset' button of the passive PoE adapter for about 8 seconds until the Wireless Signal Strength LEDs ash.RESET ButtonPress & hold for about 8 secondsRemote Reset ButtonPress & hold for about 8 secondsMethod 1:Method 2:
20Q2. How to calculate the minimum mounting height of the devices?In order to maximize the received signal strength of the devices, installers need to minimize the eect of the out-of-phase signals, which is caused by obstacles in the path between the transmitter and the receiver. Fresnel Zone is a usual method to calculate this path, as shown in the formula and the gure below.where,r = Fresnel zone radius in metersc = 3x108 m/s, speed of lightf = operating frequency of the devices in Hzd1 & d2 = the distances between the point and the devices in metersh = the height of obstacle at this pointH h+r*(1 40%)(H is the height of the CPE)For example, assume d1 is 2km, d2 is 8km, and f is 2.4GHz, then r would be 14.142m. Considering a toleration of 40%, allowable radius would be 8.485m. Assume h is 10m, then the result of the minimum mounting height based on this point would be 18.485m. Similarly, calculate the results based on all the points where there are obstacles, and the maximum value would be the nal result.For more information, please refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_zone fcddddr⋅+×=2121d2rd1
21Q3. How can I use Spectrum Analysis to  nd the appropriate channel for the devices?1. Log in to PharOS, on the 'WIRELESS' page, you can  nd the 'Spectrum Analysis' button as shown in the  gure below. Click the button.2. The following window will pop up. Click 'Yes' and you will then get into the 'Spectrum Analysis' page. 3. Select the 'Frequency Range' and click the 'Start' button, the PharOS will begin to analyze the power of the frequency. Watch the curves for a period of time, and then click 'Stop'. Mark the relatively low and continuous part of the 'average' curve, and note the corresponding frequency range.Here we take the  gure below as an example.
224. Close the Spectrum Analysis Window, and then you will get back to the 'WIRELESS' page. For the Channel/Frequency option, it is recommended to select a value whose frequency is within the noted frequency range. So, in this example, the recommended Channel/Frequency is 116/5580MHz.Q4. What is Pharos MAXtream?Pharos MAXtream is a proprietary protocol developed on the basis of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) by TP-LINK.The MAXtream technology has the following advantages:• Eliminates hidden node collisions & improves channel effi ciency.• Lower latency, higher throughput, larger network capacity & more stability.To enable the MAXtream function among the AP and stations, you only need to select the MAXtream option on the 'WIRELESS' page of the PharOS Web Interface of the AP, shown as the  gure below. Then the stations will automatically adjust their connections to the AP.Pharos MAXtream is a non-standard Wi-Fi protocol that is only compatible with TP-LINK’s Pharos series products. Please notice that you will not be able to connect other Wi-Fi devices to an AP with MAXtream enabled.
