Hardware Connection
Site Consideration
Ensure a clear line of sight between the wireless devices for
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.

How to calculate the minimum mounting height
of the devices?
In order to maximize the received signal strength of the
devices, you need to minimize the effect 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 figure below.
Q2.
h = the height of
obstacle at this point
H h+r*(1 40%)
(H is the height of the CPE)
d2
r
d1
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
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 final result.

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
efficiency.
Lower latency, higher throughput, larger network
capacity & more stability.
Improves the QoS for video, voice and sound data
stream.
By dividing the timing of transmission into different time
slots, MAXtream allows the Pharos devices to transmit in
rapid succession, one after another, each stream using its
own time slot to transmit and receive frames, which greatly
reduces the chance of collision.
Pharos MAXtream is a non-standard Wi-Fi protocol that is
only compatible with TP-Link’s Pharos series products.
Please note that you will not be able to connect other Wi-Fi
devices to an AP with MAXtream enabled.
Q3.
Log in to PharOS, click Spectrum Analysis in the tools
drop-down list,
a window will pop up to remind you that all
wireless connections
will be lost during spectrum analysis.
Click Yes to continue to the Spectrum Analysis page.

How can I use Spectrum Analysis to find the
appropriate channel for the devices?
Q4.
![](/img.php?id=3548567&img=bg19.png)
23
2.
Click Start, PharOS will begin to analyze the power of
frequency
. Observe the curves for a period of time, and
then click
Stop
. Note that the relatively low and continuous
part of the average curve indicates less radio noise. Here,
we use the figure below as an example.
3. When choosing channel/frequency, you should avoid the
spectrum with large radio noise. In this example, the
recommended channel/ frequency is 112/5560MHz.
