Hardware Connection
• Mounting Height
1. Site Consideration
Ensure a clear line of sight between the wireless devices for an
optimum performance. An elevated location is recommended as
obstacles like trees, buildings and large steel structures will weaken the
wireless signal.
See 'Q2' in 'FAQ' for details about how to calculate the minimum
mounting height of the devices.

you have oriented.
You should prepare an adequate
Ethernet cable to connect the CPE
and the passive PoE adapter.
Shielded CAT5e (or above) cable
with ground wire is recommended
(refer to the next section).
Please connect and install the device as shown in the gure below.

3. Lightning & ESD Protection
Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices.
By using shielded CAT5e (or above) cable with ground wire for the
connection and the provided PoE adapter (method ), you can
e ectively eliminate ESD attacks. If you use the general CAT5e cable for
the connection, then it is necessary to connect the grounding terminal
of the CPE to earth ground through grounding cable (method ).

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.

Q2. 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 eect 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 meters
c = 3x108 m/s, speed of light
f = operating frequency of the devices in Hz
d1 & d2 = the distances between the point
and the devices in meters
h = the height of
obstacle at this point
H 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.

Q3. 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.
20
4. 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.
