Overview Trango Broadband Wireless — Atlas-45 page 1 Chapter 1 Overview The ATLAS5010 is a point-to-point (PtP) wireless Ethernet transmission system provides network connectivity at speeds up to 45 Mbps depending on the transmission distance, noise floor, and the antenna configuration. The Atlas5010 uses OFDM technology and is designed for use in long range backhaul and wide area data networking applications. The Atlas system is comprised of the following items: 1) P5010M-INT (Configured as Master Unit with integrated 23 dBi panel antenna) 2) P5010M-INT (configured as Remote Unit with integrated 23 dBi panel antenna) 3) Two 24 Volt power adapters for use with 100 to 240 VAC, including various plug adapters 4) Two Power over Ethernet Junction Boxes 5) Port plug cover 6) Mounting hardware Key points about the system are it’s ability to operate in the new 5.47 to 5.725 GHz frequency band as well as the 5.25 to 5.35 and 5.725 to 5.85 GHz bands, allowing a large number of non overlapping channels to ease installation. As of February 2005, however, the 5.47 – 5.725 GHz band is not yet approved for use in the United States. The Atlas5010-INT consists of two P5010M-INT units and uses a common hardware/firmware platform for each end of the wireless link. Users are required to simply specify one unit type as master unit (MU) and one unit as remote unit (RU). The hardware consists of a high gain dual polarization panel antenna with the radio portion integrated into a cast aluminum case on the back of the antenna. The unit utilizes Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and is designed for outdoor environments. The cable entry point can accommodate both Shielded twisted pair Cat5 (STP), Unshielded twisted pair Cat5 (UTP), with the addition of conduit for tower mounting.

Getting Started Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 5 Chapter 2 Getting Started 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 • 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.

Configuration Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 9 Chapter 3 Configuration Key Concepts Prior to configuring the radios it is important to understand several key concepts: Master Unit (MU) The MU is typically considered the primary radio within the link. For management purposes it is recommended to install the MU closest to the head-end of the network. Remote Unit (RU) The RU is typically installed at the remote end of the link. The primary distinction between the MU and RU is that when the radios are not associated, the MU will transmit and the RU will listen until the wireless link is established. Peer ID Authentication is controlled by the MAC address of each radio. The Peer ID is defined as the MAC address of the opposite radio. In other words, the Peer ID of the MU is the RU’s MAC address and the Peer ID of the RU is the MU’s MAC address. Opmode Operation mode (on or off). The radio will only transmit while set to Opmode ON. Default Opmode Opmode (on or off) which the radio enters after reboot. Note: if you telnet into a radio within 30 seconds after reboot, the radio will remain in opmode OFF even if the default opmode is ON. Essentials to Establish a Wireless Link Configuration of the Atlas system is simple and at a minimum requires the following settings: 1. Designate one radio as the Master Unit (MU) and one unit as the Remote Unit (RU). 2. Program Peer ID in each radio. 3. Set MU and RU to same channel and antenna polarization 4. Set default Opmode to “ON” so that radio will automatically enter opmode after reboot. 5. Turn radios Opmode “ON”. If all 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. Master Unit Configuration Start a telnet session with one of the radios. Follow these steps for configuration. 1. Set the Unit Type (utype) to MU in one radio. (default for all radios is RU) #> utype mu Success. #> 2. Set the Peer ID with the MAC address of the RU. Only use the last 8 digits of the MAC address. #> peerid de1B7850 Success. #> 3. Set channel and polarization. (in this example set the channel to 23 and polarization to H). #> freq 23 h
Configuration Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 10 Ch# 23 h (5815 MHz) Success. 4. Set default Opmode to ON. #> defaultopmode on Success. 5. Turn Opmode ON. #> opmode on Success. . Remote Unit Configuration Configure the RU in the same manner as the MU. Since the default unit type (utype) is RU, you do not need to set this parameter. 1. Set the Peer ID with the MAC address of the MU. Only use the last 8 digits of the MAC address. #> peerid de1B7842 Success. #> 2. Set channel and polarization. (in this example set the channel to 23 and polarization to H). #> freq 23 h Ch# 23 h (5815 MHz) Success. 3. Set default Opmode to “ON.” #> defaultopmode on Success. 4. Turn Opmode “ON.” #> opmode on Success. Establishing a Wireless Link If the MU and RU are properly configured and in opmode “ON”, the two radios will automatically begin the authentication process and become connected. To determine if the two radios are connected, type the sysinfo 2 command. Example: #> sysinfo 2 ********************************* 2 ********************************* [Opmode] off [Default Opmode] off [Active Channel] 1 h [Freq] 5260 MHz [Speed] 24 Mbps [Tx Power] 0 dBm [Power Range] -4..19 dBm [Tx MIR] 50000 Kbps [ARQ] on [Encrypt] off [Key] 0011 2233 4455 6677 8899 AABB CCDD EEFF [Peer ID] DE1B7850 [Status] connected [RSSI] -49 dBm Success. #>
Configuration Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 11 The [status] field indicates whether the MU and RU are connected or disconnected. If connected, the MU and RU will automatically start passing Ethernet traffic over the wireless link. Changing IP Address Use the ipconfig command to change the radio’s ip address, subnet mask and gateway. Syntax: ipconfig [<ip> <subnet> <gateway>] Example: #> ipconfig 10.8.2.140 255.255.255.240 10.8.2.129 New configuration: [ip] 10.8.2.140 [subnet mask] 255.255.255.240 [gateway] 10.8.2.129 save and activate ? (y/n) [ATTN] Telnet session will be terminated in 30 seconds. Success. #> LEDs LEDs are visible on the unit’s PCB between the reset button and the RJ-45 connector. The function of each LED is described below: LNK (green) Green: On solid for an established 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet Link. SPEED Green: Solid if 100BaseT, Blinks only if there is activity (TX or RX) on the network when a 100 MBit connection is established. Off if a 10BaseT connection is established or if there is 10BaseT activity. RSSI (4 LEDs) Amber: Four LEDs In all modes except “Survey”, the unit’s four yellow LEDs indicate the level of RF signal being received from a VALID MU or RU as appropriate. Yellow LED 1 : Begins blinking when RSSI is greater or equal to –90 dBm. On continuously at –85 dBm. This is the Leftmost LED Yellow LED 2 : Begins blinking when RSSI is greater or equal to –80 dBm. On continuously at –75 dBm. Yellow LED 3 : Begins blinking when RSSI is greater or equal to –70 dBm. On continuously at –65 dBm. Yellow LED 4 : Begins blinking when RSSI is greater or equal to –60 dBm. On continuously at –55 dBm. This is the rightmost LED. If no VALID MU or RU signal is detected the LEDs will not be on at all. In addition, these 4 LEDs shall flash ON for 2 seconds, then OFF for 2 seconds to indicate the 'factory reset' button has been activated and the reset successful. ASSOCiation LED (green): The ASSOC led blinks at the following rates: - Once every second when unit is powered on but opmode is OFF.
Configuration Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 12 - Twice per second while in opmode ON and scanning for an MU or RU. - Solid after unit is associated with the RU or MU. RF Link Loopback Test (linktest command) The linktest command tests the throughput and packet error rate (PER) on the current channel for each direction at all speeds and reports results. This command also provides RSSI for both ends of the wireless link. The command can be run from either the MU or the RU. In running the linktest command the user must specify the modulation speed for each end of the link. Command format: linktest <loc speed> <peer speed> Valid modulation speeds are: 6,12,18,24,36,48, and 54 Mbps. Lower speeds will result in fewer dropped packets. Example: # linktest 24 24 local tx rate = 24 Mbps peer tx rate = 24 Mbps packet size = 1600 bytes # of packets per period = 1000 # of Cycle = 10 0> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 1> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 2> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 3> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 4> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 5> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 6> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 7> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.00 Mbps 8> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -36 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 9> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps --> [tx] 10000 [rx] 10000 [rssi] -36 peer: [tx] 10000 [rx] 10000 [rssi] -40 --> [Local PER] 0.00 % [Peer PER] 0.00 % Success. #> In this example the linktest was run at 24 Mbps at each end of the link. The results indicated 10 cycles of 1000 packets were transmitted and received from each end of the link without error. Actual achievable throughput is measured at 22 Mbps. Link Speed & Power Settings Users may change the radio’s over-the-air data rate and conducted output power using the speed and power commands. Keep in mind that the lower data rates offer higher receiver sensitivity and higher allowable conducted RF power in the ISM band. The following table shows the relation between speed settings, receiver sensitivity, and allowable maximum power settings for each band. The lowest power setting for all bands in –4 dBm. Speed Setting (over-the-air rate) (Mbps) Receiver Sensitivity (dB) Max Power High (ISM) Band (dBm) Max Power Low (U-NII) (dBm) 6 -92 20 7 12 -87 20 7 18 -85 20 7 24 -84 19 7 36 -80 19 7

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 The radios provide an on-board site survey tool which measure the average and peak noise levels on any given channel. 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. Example: #> survey Press any key to stop. noise floor (peak/avg dBm) rssi by pkt (peak/avg dBm) 0> -97 / -98 n/a 1> -97 / -98 n/a 2> -97 / -98 n/a 3> -97 / -98 n/a 4> -97 / -98 n/a 5> -97 / -98 n/a 6> -97 / -98 n/a 7> -97 / -98 n/a 8> -97 / -98 n/a Ch 1 h 5260 --> -97 / -98 n/a Success. Channel Planning Based on the results of the site survey at each end of the link, choose a channel which offers the lowest noise floor. In order to reliably operate in the higher speed modes, clean spectrum is essential.
Deployment & Installation Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 17 RSSI Command and Antenna Alignment Once the site survey is completed, you are ready to install your radios. Typically it is best to install the MU first. To properly align the radios, use the built-in RSSI tool to achieve maximum signal strength. 1. Ensure MU and RU are in Opmode “ON.” 2. Connect to the RU. 3. Login and type the command rssi. As you read the RSSI, move the antenna in the horizontal and vertical planes until the maximum RSSI reading is achieved 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. Example: #> rssi Press any key to stop. 0> MU -75 dB RU -75 dB Connected 1> MU -75 dB RU -75 dB Connected 2> MU -73 dB RU -73 dB Connected 3> MU -72 dB RU -71 dB Connected 4> MU -70 dB RU -70 dB Connected 5> MU -70 dB RU -69 dB Connected 6> MU -69 dB RU -70 dB Connected 7> MU -70 dB RU -70 dB Connected 8> MU -70 dB RU -70 dB Connected 9> MU -67 dB RU -68 dB Connected 10> MU -67 dB RU -67 dB Connected Success. Users can also view the RSSI LEDs on the bottom of the radio. See the configuration section of this manual for more information.

Next, screw the port plate over the silicone plug as shown in the photographs below. Mounting Hardware Radios are supplied with mounting hardware for pole installations. See diagram below for proper use of the mounting hardware. 10.00°UPTILT25.00°DOWNTILT8.50 MAX Mounting Hardware Assembly for Integrated Antenna P5010-INT
SNMP Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 19 Grounding Proper mounting of the radio includes consideration for grounding. Please note that if the radio is attached to a metal pole that is earth-grounded, no other grounding is necessary. If the radio is not earth-grounded via the mounting bracket, you must attach a grounding wire to the grounding stud on the radio as in the adjacent diagram. Cabling and Weather Considerations Shielded twisted pair Cat-5 cable is recommended for all installations. 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. Weatherizing ! ! Important! Please note that the silicon strain relief has a small gap when the cable is installed. This is normal . It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for STP Cat-5 cables. Do not mount the radio upside down as water will enter the bottom of the radio and cause permanent damage ! Important! The Power-over-Ethernet injector is not a weatherized device and must be located either indoors or in a weather-protected cabinet.
