Overview Warranty Information Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 1 Chapter 1 Overview Your TrangoLINK-10 system provides the latest innovations in high-speed fixed wireless broadband. TrangoLINK-10 is a point-to-point (PtP) system, which provides network connectivity at speeds up to 10 Mbps with a range of 40 miles depending on the antenna configuration. TrangoLINK-10 operates in the 5.8 GHz ISM In this document, and within the radio configuration itself, the designators of “ISM” and “U-NII” are used to distinguish between the two bands. The following table shows approximate maximum ranges (at recommended fade margins) achievable with the TrangoLINK-10 system using various antenna configurations. Longer ranges are achievable, but will result in lower fade margins. The TrangoLINK-10 system consists of two types of radios: Master Units (MU) and Remote Units (RU). The MU and RU conform to the maximum radiated power limits as established by the FCC. Contents Each TrangoLINK-10 kit comes equipped with two radios, two power-over-Ethernet (PoE) J-Box, two AC adapters, a serial programming cable, and mounting hardware. Dual-polarized integrated antennas are located behind the radomes of both the P5830S-MU and P5830S-RU.

Overview Operational Overview Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 2 Figure 2: Back of Radio (Shows where MAC address can be found) Ethernet and Serial Ports At the bottom of the radio are two access ports: a twist-on weatherproof cable port for RJ-45 Ethernet (and PoE), and an access cover plug for the RJ-11 serial port. Behind the access cover plug are three LEDs that provide RF link-status information. These LEDs are discussed later in this text. Figure 3: Bottom of Radio Operational Overview TrangoLINK-10 MU is a sophisticated broadband wireless device that provides a host of comprehensive tools and functions. The MU typically resides at the managing end of the network and performs all management functions for the associated RU. In order to establish a wireless link between the MU and the RU, the system administrator must set up the MAC address of the RU in the MU. When power is first applied to a properly installed RU, it will scan all channel/polarization combinations searching for an MU. Once the RU detects the MU it will stop scanning and lock onto the channel of the MU and begin transmitting using maximum RF power. Before the MU can wirelessly connect to the RU, it must authenticate the RU by verifying the MAC address and performing a ranging operation to the RU. Upon successfully authenticating and ranging the RU, the MU will adjust the RF transmit power in the RU based on the Target RSSI parameter in the MU. This process is referred to as “power leveling.” At this point the MU and RU are “associated” and Ethernet traffic will pass over the wireless link. The only way to tell MUs and RUs apart is by the model number printed on the backside product label. This label also contains the MAC address and serial number of the radio.

Getting Started Connections and Power Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 3 Chapter 2 Getting Started First unpack your MU and RU. It is recommended that you first provision and test your the radios on the bench before deploying them in the field. This is a particularly useful exercise for the novice user. Connections and Power Connection and powering of the radios is the same for MUs and RUs. • Connect a Cat-5 (straight through) Ethernet cable (we recommend shielded twisted pair) between the ODU (out door unit) port of the J-box and the RJ-45 connector on the radio. Note that this cable will carry power-over-Ethernet (PoE). • If connecting to a COMPUTER, use a Cross-Over Ethernet cable from the NET port of the J-box to the computer’s Ethernet port. If connecting to a HUB, SWITCH, or ROUTER, use a Straight-Thru cable. • Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet. Figure 4: Wiring Diagram Both green LEDs on the J-box should be lit, indicating power is present at the J-box as well as the radio. You are now ready to configure the radio via the Ethernet port.  Note: If you cannot access the radio management functions via the Ethernet port, it is possible that your PC is not set up with a properly routable subnet. If you forget the radio’s IP address, or for some other reason cannot access the radio via the Ethernet port, use the Serial Programming cable (supplied with each TrangoLINK kit) and attach it to the RJ-11 port located behind the access cover on the bottom of the radio.
Getting Started Basic Configuration - Concepts and Tools Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 4 Basic Configuration - Concepts and Tools The TrangoLINK-10 can be configured using either the Command Line Interface (CLI), or the Web Browser (HTTP) interface. Although both methods are comprehensive and powerful, the CLI method provides slightly more functionality. Both methods of radio configuration require an understanding of the concept of Operation Mode (Opmode). Opmode Concept Before logging into a radio, it is important to understand the “Opmode” concept of the TrangoLINK-10 system. MUs and RUs can be in one of two operational modes: Opmode “On” or Opmode “Off.” When in Opmode “Off” the radio is not transmitting, and it is not attempting to make a wireless connection. Alternatively, when in Opmode “On,” the radio is transmitting, and is attempting to make a wireless connection. Why is Opmode Important? Certain functions, such as the site survey function and the RU RSSI function, can only be performed while the radio is in Opmode “Off.” See Appendix A – Command Set Reference for a complete listing of commands, and the appropriate Opmode(s) for each command.  Note: Factory Default Opmode for both MUs and RUs is “Off.” Default Opmode should be changed before radios are deployed.  Note: Serial management (via the RJ-11 port) is possible on both MUs and RUs regardless of Opmode.  Note: Beginning with firmware version v1.1, TLINK-10 radios allow TCP/IP management access to both MU and RU regardless of Opmode. V1.1 firmware also allows TCP/IP management access to the MU from the RU side of the link (if wireless link is established). Browser Interface The Web browser interface is an easy-to-use, configuration and management tool. Its functionality is a subset of the commands available in the CLI. To use the browser interface, you must have the following: • An Ethernet connection between a PC and the radio (see figure 4) • Setup your Ethernet PC connection to the subnet that is routable to the radio (default IP address=192.168.100.100) • A web browser (i.e. Microsoft Internet Explorer) In order to use the browser interface, simply connect the radio to a PC, and type the radio’s IP address into the web browser (i.e. Microsoft Internet Explorer). This will bring up a login page. Type the password (default trango) and continue. This will bring up the radio’s System Information page.
Getting Started Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 5 Log into the MU, and the System Information page with info and status appears. The equivalent command for the CLI is sysinfo. This particular System Information page is for a Master Unit, which is evidenced by the model number P5830S-M in the top left. To navigate through the various screens simply click on the underlined hyperlinks on the left hand side of the page. The following describes the primary features and pages of the HTTP Browser interface: Navigation Column: The blue rectangular column on the left of all pages. The top displays the model number of the radio to which you are connected. On the bottom of the Navigation Column is the Current Status of the radio, including current Opmode, active channel, remote ID, and remote status. The navigation column also contains all of the hotlinks to the other pages. System Information Page: Shows most of the basic configuration parameters of the radio. It is the first page shown after login. Configuration Page: The essential parameters, such as IP address, remote unit ID, channel, and polarization, are set here. Advanced Setup Page: RF parameters, such as Transmit Power, are set here. Site Survey Page: From here, in Opmode “Off,” the user can conduct a spectrum analysis. Link Control Page: With this page you can determine which SUs are connected, and how they are performing.
Getting Started Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 6 Command Console Page: Runs any console command that is not interactive (i.e. ipconfig). The results are reported back on the HTTP screen. For a complete list of console commands, type "help" in the entry field. Logout Link: This will end the current HTTP session with the radio. Help Page: The Browser Interface features useful Help pages that explain all listed parameters. To access the help pages click on the Help link. For a complete description on the use of the Browser Interface, see Appendix A. Command Line Interface Although most radio functions can be managed via the browser interface, the command line interface (CLI) does provide more functionality. Logging into the radio via command line interface is covered here briefly, but for a complete listing of all CLI commands see Appendix A - Command Line Interface. Telnet Open a command prompt (DOS) session on your PC. Open a Telnet session by typing: telnet [ip address of radio] Example: C:>telnet 192.168.100.100  Note: All Trango radios are pre-configured at the factory with a default IP address of 192.168.100.100. You will be greeted with current hardware and firmware information and prompted for a password. Type in the password and press enter. The factory default password is trango. To terminate a CLI session (Telnet or Serial) type the command logout.  Note: Type help or ? for a listing of all CLI commands. Type help [<command>], for the syntax of a particular command. See Appendix A Command Set Summary for complete description of all CLI commands.  Note: To terminate a CLI session (Telnet or Serial) type the command logout.  Note: Type help, or ?, for a listing of all CLI commands. Type help <command>, to see the syntax of that particular command. Troubleshooting If you can not telnet into the radio or open an HTTP browser session, check your cable connections to ensure proper use of cross-over vs. straight-through cable, and ensure your PC’s subnet is routable to the radio’s IP address. If you still cannot access the radio’s management interfaces, consult the troubleshooting guide available at http://www.trangobroadband.com/support/appnotes_web.htm
Getting Started Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 7 Serial Port TrangoLINK-10 Master Units and remote Units feature a serial port. The serial port is useful in the event that the radio cannot be accessed via TCP/IP (HTTP or Telnet). A Terminal Emulation program (such as HyperTerminal on the Windows operating system) can be used to access the radio’s CLI using the radio’s serial port, which is located behind the RJ-11 access cover on the bottom of the radio. A serial programming cable has been provided with each TrangoLINK-10 for this purpose. To terminate a CLI session (Telnet or Serial) type the command logout. Type help or ? for a listing of all CLI commands. Type help [<command>], for the syntax of a particular command. Figure 5: Pin-outs for Serial Cable Terminal Settings Changing Password Use the CLI command _password to change the password. Syntax: _password <newpassword> <newpassword> example: #> _password banana77 banana77 Update flash successful. Success. If you forget the password, the only way to reset the password is via the serial interface according to the following procedure: 1. Connect your computer to the radio with the provided serial cable. 2. Open a HyperTerminal session on your computer. 3. Power cycle the radio. 4. While it is loading, you will be able to see this in HyperTerminal, press enter. 5. Type resetpassword. 6. Type main. This will continue the loader. 7. The password will be reset to trango.
Configuration Essentials to Establish a Wireless Link Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 8 Chapter 3 Configuration This section describes how to establish a basic wireless link between the MU and the RU, using the Browser (HTTP) Interface. This section addresses only the most basic steps in establishing a link in the lab, or a bench-top environment. It is highly recommended that you read the other sections of this manual to gain an understanding of all important configuration parameters and procedures prior to deploying any wireless equipment. In this section you will: • Learn about MU and RU Basic Configuration Screens and Parameters • Enter RU’s MAC address in the MU • Configure Other Basic MU Parameters • Configure Basic RU Parameters • Establish a Wireless Link • Evaluate Link Quality The TrangoLINK-10 uses the concept of “association” to indicate that the MUs and RUs are communicating. If all parameters are properly set, the RU will begin “listening” on each channel & polarization for an MU with its MAC address programmed. Once an active MU is detected, the authentication and association process will begin. Essentials to Establish a Wireless Link • RU Mac Address must be programmed into the MU • MU & RU must be in Opmode “ON” If both of these parameters are met, and if the MU and RU are within range and properly aligned, the wireless link will automatically establish itself and Ethernet traffic will begin to pass between the radios.  Note: This section utilizes the Browser Interface as the configuration tool. For the equivalent CLI commands, see Appendix A. Master Unit Configuration Open a browser session with the MU and click the configuration link.

Deployment & Installation Site Selection Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 17 Chapter 4 Deployment & Installation Once you are familiar with the basic operation of the radios you are ready for deployment in the field. The deployment process consists of the following steps: • Site Selection • Site survey at MU and RU sites • MU installation • RU installation and antenna alignment • Link test Site Selection Proper site selection for your MU will help ensure a successful deployment. Site selection will depend on a wide variety of factors, but from the radio’s performance standpoint, please consider the following: • Path from MU to RU should provide unobstructed line-of-sight (LOS), thus it is advisable to place MU as high as possible on a tall building or tower. • Ethernet cable limit is 100 meters from Ethernet device (router, switch) to radio. • Radios should never be deployed without proper grounding. • Consider nearby sources of interference that could degrade the performance of the radio. Mount radios as far from sources of interference as possible. Site survey Both the MU and RU provide an on-board site survey tool. This tool will tell you if there is any interference present in the 5.8 GHz band. To use the survey tool, the radio must be in Opmode “OFF.” The survey can be performed for any specified amount of time (in seconds), and for either the horizontal or vertical polarization. Prior to performing the site survey, place the radio in the installation spot, and aim the radio in the desired direction. After the specified period, the results of this command will provide you with a listing of each channel in the band, the average signal received, and the maximum signal received during the survey period. In general you will be looking for frequencies with signal strengths of –85 dBm or lower. If interference is present on various channels, it is recommended that you chose clean channels or alternate polarizations for your deployment. If it is not possible to use a clean channel/polarization combination, there are various methods available to mitigate the affects of interference. These methods include the use of the RFRX THRESHOLD settings, or the use of external shields on the MU. See the site survey example on following page.
Deployment & Installation Channel Planning Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 18 Results are reported in dBm per channel as average and peak. A channel is reported to be “Clear” if the peak and average are below the RF RX Threshold by more then 8 dB. Channel Planning For installations involving co-location of radios operating in the same band, channel planning is extremely important. Use of the 5.8 GHz spectrum ISM band will allow maximum co-location potential. See www.trangobroadband.com for additional information on channel planning schemes. Installation Once the site survey is completed, you are ready to install your radios. It is recommended to install the MU first. The reason for this is that the RU has a built-in RSSI tool that will help you properly aim the RU at the MU to achieve maximum signal strength. Mounting Hardware Both MUs and RUs are supplied with mounting hardware for pole installations. See diagram below for proper use of the mounting hardware.

The shield within the Cat-5 cable does not need to be grounded if the radio itself is grounded. It is important to consider that most Cat-5 cable will deteriorate over time if exposed to the weather (especially direct sunlight). It is recommended that installers place all Cat-5 cables inside conduit. Plastic conduit is sufficient. If metal conduit is used, it is not necessary to use shielded Cat-5 cable. Proper mounting of the radio includesconsideration for grounding. Please note that if theradio is attached to a metal pole that is earth-grounded, no other grounding is necessary. If theradio is not earth-grounded via the mountingbracket, you must attach a grounding wire to thegrounding stud on the back of the radio as in theadjacent diagram.
Deployment & Installation Weatherizing Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 21 Weatherizing ! ! Important! If not using conduit, The Ethernet port compression washer on the 5830 series radios should be loosely tightened around the cat-5 cable to allow pressure equalization within the radio enclosure. Leave approximately 1 mm around the cat-5. It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for STP Cat-5 cables. Do not mount the radio upside down. ! Important! The J-Box is not a weatherized device and must be located either indoors or in a weather-protected cabinet. RU Installation and Antenna Alignment Once the MU is installed, and aligned in the correct general direction, it is time to install the RU. The hardware installation of the RU is identical to the MU, including considerations for line-of-sight, cable distances, cable type, weather sealing, and grounding. Once the RU is installed and aimed in the general direction of the MU, it is time to perform an RSSI test to determine the signal strength from the MU, and to precisely align the RU antenna for maximum signal strength. RU Antenna Alignment Procedure 1. Ensure MU is in Opmode “ON.” 2. Connect to the RU from the Ethernet side via the Browser Interface. 3. Login and observe the RSSI indicator on the bottom left of the page. To update this value press the F5 key. Alternatively, from the Telnet command line interface, type the command rssi. As you read the RSSI reading, move the antenna in the horizontal and vertical planes until the maximum RSSI reading is achieved. For short links you can expect an RSSI of –60 dBm or better. For longer links and RSSI of –75 dBm is acceptable. Any RSSI of less than –80 dBm may be too weak for the radios to reliably associate and pass data. 4. If it is not possible to receive an adequate RSSI reading, it may be necessary to reorient the MU (up/down, left/right), to increase the output power of the MU, or to move the RU to a location with better line-of-sight conditions to the MU. 5. Once you are satisfied with the RSSI reading, tighten down the RU in the optimum position.  Note: The amber light on the bottom of the RU will also indicate RSSI according to the following parameters: RSSI< -80dBm not lit RSSI > -80dBm blinking RSSI ≥ -65dBm solid (blink rate increases with signal strength)
Deployment & Installation RU Installation and Antenna Alignment Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 22 Link Test Ensure the RU’s default Opmode is “ON,” and that all configuration parameters are correct. Reboot the radio. Once the radio enters Opmode “ON,” the authentication process will occur with the MU, and the two radios will begin to associate. From the MU side, use the Link Control page to assess the quality of the link. Enter a duration time for the RF Link Loopback / Speed Test. Click the “loopback test” button. The test will execute and report the success rate (packets sent and received) after the duration period. A similar test can be performed from the command line interface via the command ru speedtest.

Management RU Management Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 23 Chapter 5 Management In the TrangoLINK-10 system, the MU controls most functions of its associated RU. For this reason it is important to consider that you will manage your TrangoLINK-10 system primarily through the MU. Network management can be performed by three methods • Browser Interface • CLI Appendix A – Command Set Reference • SNMP Manager Discussed in this section. RU Management Most management functions of the RU can be performed by issuing commands from the MU. As an example, to change the RUs IP, subnet, and gateway: ru ipconfig [ <new ip>][<new subnet>][<new gateway>] Example: ru ipconfig 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.1 From the command line interface type ru for a listing of all ru commands. Example: #> ru [Remote ID] 00 01 DE 01 AD B5 [Status] connected [RSSI] -47 dBm [Downstream MIR] 10000 kbps [Upstream MIR] 10000 kbps [Downstream] 0 kbps [Upstream] 0 kbps ru ipconfig <new ip> <new subnet> <new gateway> ru ping ru powerleveling ru reboot ru speedtest [<pkt len (byte), 64..1760> [<file size (MBytes), 10, 100>] ru sysinfo ru testrflink [<pkt len, 64..1760>] #> A complete description of these commands and many others can be found in Appendix A – Command Set Reference. SNMP TrangoLINK-10 supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for network management. Network management consists of the following 4 categories: configuration, accounting, alarm, and monitoring and control. These capabilities allow the network operator to provide superior services through higher network accessability and integrated accounting system. For more information on SNMP and its uses, you can visit http://www.faqs.org/faqs/snmp-faq/. The Trango SNMP solution supports MIB-II (system only) and the Trango proprietary Management Information Base (MIB). SNMP agents reside on both the MU and RU. Users interested in using the SNMP functionality should review the entire TrangoLINK-10 MIB for a complete understanding of its features. The following is an overview of a few of the more commonly used SNMP objects in the TrangoLINK-10 system.

Link Status Monitoring –Various traps are defined as follows: • Cold start – when SNMP agent starts running • Link Up – when the MU enters Opmode “On” • Link Down – when the MU reboots • RU Link Up – when RU associates to the MU • RU Link Down – when RU disassociates from the MU • Opmode “On” Failure – when MU fails to enter Opmode “On” MU and RU Control – SNMP also provides several control capabilities. The majority of the features available on the CLI are also available via SNMP. Here are a few of these features: • Add/delete remote • Change channel • Set power • Set radio sensitivity Review the Trango MIB (trango_P5830Sap_1p0.mib) for the complete listing of MIB Objects.
Management SNMP Trango Broadband Wireless — TrangoLINK-10 User Manual Rev. E 3.0 page 25 SNMP Setup Trango Broadband provides only the MIB portion of the SNMP Management system. The radios act as individual agents, and it is up the user to provide SNMP Manager software from a third party vendor. Below is an example of the setup process for SNMPc from Castle Rock™. 1. Unzip trangopkg.zip file to a local temporary directory. 2. Go to your local temporary directory, you will see 4 files shown below. a. trango_P5830Sap_1p0.mib – M5800S MU MIB file b. trango.ico – P5830S MU icon c. autoico.txt – instruction file (Selects Trango icon automatically during initial set-up.) 3. Copy trango_P5830Smu_1p0.mib file to C:\Program Files\SNMPc Network Manager\mibfiles 4. Copy autoico.txt file to C:\Program Files\SNMPc Network Manager\mibfiles 5. Copy trango.ico file to C:\Program Files\SNMPc Network Manager\bitmaps 6. The MIB needs to be compiled into the SNMPc database By default, the Read Community is set to “public,” and Write Community is set to “private” in the MU. The Trap Community is “SNMP_trap.” The manager needs to have the same settings in order to communicate with the MU successfully.  Note: The Trap Community cannot be set via HTTP or CLI. To send traps from the MU, set the following: • trap destination IP (Trango MIB object trapconfig–trapconfigInfo) • trap community string (Trango MIB object trapconfig–MutrpTable-MutrpEntry) • enable each trap (Trango MIB object traponfig–mutrpTable-MutrpEntry) For all set operations, set object SaveAndActivate at musystem-musystemInfo to write the information to FLASH.
