Overview
Chapter 1 Overview
The Atlas5055 is a point-to-point (PtP) wireless Ethernet transmission system which provides network connectivity at
speeds up to 45 Mbps depending on the transmission distance and noise floor. The Atlas5055 utilizes OFDM technology
and is designed for use in long range backhaul and wide area data networking applications.
Users are required to simply specify one P5055M unit type as master unit (MU) and one unit as remote unit (RU) to
establish a link. Each unit utilizes power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and is designed for outdoor environments. The cable
entry point can accommodate both Shielded twisted pair Cat5 (STP) and unshielded twisted pair Cat5 (UTP), with the
addition of conduit for tower mounting.
DFS
One of the key features of the Atlas5055 is that it has Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) which allows it to be
operated in the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.47 to 5.7 GHz frequency ranges depending upon the regulatory requirements.
When operating in these frequency ranges the MU will monitor the channel for radar transmissions and switch to a new
channel automatically if radar is detected. The RU will switch to the new channel as well and the link will be
automatically reconnected, typically in about 1 minute.
Each radio unit has a different threshold for detecting radar that corresponds to the radio’s antenna gain. For the
P5055M-19-xx models, the threshold is –46 dBm. Any radar signal arriving at the antenna on the operating channel that
has an amplitude greater than –46 dBm will cause the MU and it’s associated RU to switch to a randomly selected
channel that is tagged as a DFS channel in the channel table. For the P5055M-23-xx units, the threshold is is –42 dBm,
and for the P5055M-EXT-xx units the threshold is –37 dBm.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When operating in the DFS frequencies, the radio units will use automatic transmit power
control (ATPC) to maintain the RSSI at a level of approximately –62 dBm. For very short link distances it may not be
possible for the transmit power to be reduced below the Radar detection threshold and the radio may not be able to
establish a reliable link. Trango recommends that careful link budget planning be done to ensure that this
condition does not exist.
OFDM
The Atlas platform utilizes Orthogonal Frequency Division Duplex (OFDM) processing which offers link stability and
performance in the presence of multipath interference.
Adaptive Modulation
One of the key advantages of the Atlas series radio platform is utilization of multiple modulation schemes including the
following:
• Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK)
• Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)
• 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16QAM)
• 64 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (64QAM)
The Atlas system allows individual selection of the upstream and downstream modulation schemes. The modulation
schemes can be adjusted manually or automatically (automatic rate shifting) for changing propagation and interference
conditions. The higher order modulation schemes (64QAM) are typically deployed at reduced ranges while lower order
modulation schemes (BPSK) are implemented at long distances.
ARQ
Another key advantage of the Atlas platform is its Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) transmission correction scheme.
The ARQ algorithm detects packet loss due to fading and interference conditions and requests the remote radio to retransmit specific packets.

Overview
Dual Polarity Antenna
Atlas radios feature built-in dual polarity antenna functionality. Users may select either horizontal or vertical antenna
polarity through the unit’s software. Switchable antenna polarity provides greater spectral flexibility and ability to
mitigate interference.

Range vs. Throughput
The following table shows approximate maximum ranges (at recommended fade margins) achievable with the Atlas5055
system using various antenna configurations. Longer ranges are achievable, but will result in lower fade margins. To
estimate theoretical throughput and fade margin for any distance, download the link budget / fade margin calculator tool

Getting Started
Chapter 2 Getting Started
It is always a good idea to first provision and test 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-overEthernet (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.

Both green LEDs on the J-box should be lit, indicating power is present at the Power-over-Ethernet box as well as at the
radio.
You are now ready to configure the radio via the Ethernet port. After reboot, the Radio Power LED may take several
seconds before lighting. The radio requires approximately 45 seconds to boot.

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.
Trango Broadband Wireless — Atlas5055
page 17
Configuration
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
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.
Authentication is controlled by the MAC address of each radio.
Opmode
The radio has two modes of operation:
1) Opmode OFF – The radio is in a state which will not allow the establishment of
a link with another radio. This state is mainly used for administration and preinstallation site survey
2) Opmode ON – The radio is in a state which allows it to establish a link to
another radio if the proper settings are made. This is the normal “in service”
state of the radio.
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’s unit type (utype) 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 2 and polarization to H).
#> freq 2 h
Ch# 23 h (5280 MHz)
Success.
4.
Set default Opmode to ON.
Trango Broadband Wireless — Atlas5055
page 18
Configuration
#> 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 2 and polarization to H).
#> freq 2 h
Ch# 2 h (5280 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] on [Default Opmode] on
[Active Channel] 2 h [Freq] 5280 MHz
[Speed] 36 Mbps [Tx Power] 7 dBm [Power Range] -4..7 dBm

[Peer IP Config] 10.254.1.3 255.255.255.248 10.254.1.1
Success.
#>
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.

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.
- Twice per second while in opmode ON and scanning for an MU or RU.
- Solid after unit is associated with the RU or MU.

Configuration
RF Link Loopback Test (linktest command)
The linktest command is the primary tool to assess the quality of the link when opmode is on. 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. . The linktest uses FEC but does NOT use ARQ, so all errors on the link are reported. Throughput numbers
represent the absolute maximum bi-directional capacity including the management header (which is not available for
user payload) so actual user throughput measurements will be slightly less.
In running the linktest command the user must specify the modulation speed for each end of the link.
Command format: linktest  
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

MU Autoscan Feature Description
This feature allows the RU to actively search all channels and polarizations for its peer MU in the event of a
disassociation. This feature is useful if the user frequently changes the channel/polarization of the MU . If enabled, the
autoscanmu routine in the RU performs a search for the peer MU by actively scanning all available channels and
polarizations. NOTE: Autoscanning isalways active when operating on DFS channels.
Notes regarding the autoscanmu feature:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The RU will not activate the autoscan process after first 60 seconds of turning on opmode.
The RU will start the auto scan process If RU loses association for more than 10 seconds,.
The whole process will scan all available frequencies and polarizations in channel tables. The radio will spend
10 to 12 seconds for each frequency.
For each frequency, radio will survey both polarizations, H and V. It will record the following information:
association
average RSSI of receiving P5055M packets
After scanning all available frequencies in channel plan, the radio will select the channel based on the strongest
average RSSI for receiving packets.
If no channel is selected after completing the cycle, the process will start again.
Example:
#> autoscanmu on
Success.
#>
Automatic Rate Shifting Feature Description
With autorateshift feature enabled, the radios will automatically renegotiate the modulation method and speed
speed to maximize wireless link integrity. The link speed will vary depending on two factors: 1) the number of
ARQ errors received, 2)successful processing of special link assessment packets sent in both the current and
next higher speed. The radio will shift to the next higher in speed when no errors are detected. The radio will
shift down in speed if error rate is excessive.
Notes regarding the autorateshift feature:
1.
The radio will begin initial speed test when upon association to peer radio. There are 40 steps and around 50
seconds to complete this initial test. The radio will send link assessment packets (3600 byte packets at a rate of
100 packets per second) at the highest speed (54 Mbps). The radio will deliver payload at the speed which is
specified before association. If the assessment packet dropping rate is higher than 10 percent, the speed test will
decrease the speed for assessment packets. If the current payload speed is higher than the speed of assessment
packet, the radio will set the current payload speed to be the same as the assessment packet’s speed. If the
current payload speed is lower than the assessment packet’s speed and more than 500 assessment packets have
been transmitted, the radio will set the payload speed to be the same as assessment packet’s speed.
Trango Broadband Wireless — Atlas5055
page 23
Configuration
2. After completion of initial speed test, the radio will set the payload speed to be the same as the final speed of
initial speed test.
3.
The radio will check link quality and adjust payload speed periodically.
a. The radio will increase payload speed every 60 seconds, if
i. Speed test which is running at higher speed is successful. –andii. Payload’s ARQ retransmit rate is less than 10 percent.
b. Radio will decrease payload speed every 10 seconds, if
i. Speed test which is running at payload speed is failure. –andii. Payload’s ARQ retransmit rate is higher than 10 percent.
4.
Payload speed can be changed manually when auto rate shift is on. But the speed setting will not be sustained.
Example:
#> autorateshift on
Success.
#>
Encryption Feature Description
The Atlas system offers 128 bit proprietary encryption which may be turned on or off by the user. The HEX
encryption key must be set in both the MU and RU. Users can expect faster payload speeds with encryption
turned off as compared to with encryption turned on.
Example:
#> encrypt on
Success.
#> encrypt key 1111 2222 3333 4444 5555 6666 7777 8888
argc = 10
Success.
#>
MIR Feature Description
Maximum Information rate is configurable on both the MU and RU. The MIR function is performed on the
transmit side only and is based on a one second timing interval. During each one second timing interval, the
total bits transferred is compared to the MIR limit configured by the user. When the limit is exceeded, no more
data is sent and the packets in the queue will be dropped. This function is useful for reserving more bandwidth
in one direction than the other. If left wide open, the system will respond to bandwidth demand as needed,
allowing the full bandwidth of the channel to be used by either direction.
Example:
#> mir 10000
Success.

Command Reference Listing
The complete command set reference is provided below. You can also view a complete listing of all CLI commands by
typing help.
Command Syntax
antenna [h|v]
arq [on|off]
autorateshift [on|off]
Description
Set or display antenna setting. H=Horizontal polarity, V=vertical
polarity.
Enable or disable Auto Retransmit Request (ARQ). With ARQ
enabled, the Atlas system will retransmit packets which are detected
as missing or corrupted. Default setting=ON.
Enable or disable automatic rate shift feature. With autorateshift
enabled, the radios will automatically renegotiate speed setting to
maximize wireless link integrity. Default setting=OFF.
Notes:
• Radio will start to perform diagnostic speed test
approximately 50 seconds after association.
• Radio will set new speed after finishing speed test.
• Radio will check link quality for increasing speed every 60
seconds.
• Radio will check link quality for decreasing speed every 10
seconds.
• Link quality is based on ARQ retransmit statistics and speed
assessment packets.
• Radio’s speed can be changed manually when auto rate shift
is on, however the speed will not be sustained.
• If auto rate shift is turned on after association, the radio will
not perform speed test.
• If auto rate shift is turned off after associated, radio will not
perform regular link quality assessment.
autoscanmu [on|off]
Enable or disable auto scan MU (RU only). Default setting=OFF .
When autoscanmu is turned on, the RU will automatically scan all
channels and polarizations searching for its peer MU. Once the RU
detects the MU it will stop scanning and lock onto the channel of the
MU. The autoscan feature is useful in cases where the user changes
the channel at the MU because the RU will automatically search for
the new channel of the MU. Note: auto-scanning may take as long
as 5 minutes.
Notes:
• RU will not perform auto scan during the first 60 sec after
opmode is turned on.
• RU will initiate auto scan cycle after losing sync for 10
seconds.
• RU will scan all “available channels” and antenna
polarizations.
• After finishing scan cycle, RU will pick the best channel
and antenna by a) has sync and b) has highest packet rssi.
Afterwards RU will change to that channel with max power.
• If no channel is selected after finishing scan cycle, RU will
initiate auto scan cycle again after 10 seconds.

Deployment & Installation
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
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 specific channels or for all channel/antenna polarization combinations.
Prior to performing the site survey, place the radio in the installation spot, and aim the radio in the desired direction.
The survey command will display the average and peak noise floor for each channel as well as average and peak RSSI
received during the same period for 802.11 packets.
Users may run any of the following variations of the survey command:
survey
survey []
survey  all
survey  [ [..]]
display noise floor for current channel based on 10 second scan.
display noise floor for current channel for period  10..3600 seconds
display noise floor for all available channels where  = period per channel
display noise floor for selected channels (max 4) where  = period per channel
 = channel number
Example:

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.
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

Setting Maximum RF Power for Legal Operation in the U-NII Bands (-EXT only)
Trango Broadband Wireless — Atlas5055
page 29
Deployment & Installation
Due to FCC restrictions the professional installer must manually set the maximum power for the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz
and 5.47 to 5.725 GHz U-NII bands based upon which external antenna antenna is being used.
In all cases, EIRP cannot exceed +28 dBm. Antenna Gain + Radio Max Power Setting = 28 - Antenna gain + cable loss.
As an example, if the radio is being installed with a 34 dBi antenna with a 1 dB loss cable, then the radio max U-NII
power must be fixed to –5 dBm. The following chart provides additional details.
Antenna Gain
–cable loss

The Max Power Setting command is only accessible from the command line and is not available on the HTTP Browser
interface.
The telnet command to change the maximum power is:
uniimaxpower 
The command must be run on each P5055-EXT prior to installing the antenna and while the Opmode is OFF.
Example: To set the max power setting for the 34 dBi antenna use the following command:
#> Uniimaxpower -5
success.
Port Plug and Port Plate (Hardware)
Prior to deployment, insert the silicone port plug around the Cat-5 Cable and insert into the radio’s port opening. Next,
screw the port plate over the silicone plug as shown in the photographs below.

The P5055-EXT-xx is equipped with two reverse-polarity SMA connectors on the top for attachment to an external
antenna. Each SMA connector is labeled with either “V” for Vertical or “H” for Horizontal polarization. Connect each
cable to the appropriate “H” and “V” ports on both the antenna and the radio.
Trango Broadband Wireless — Atlas5055

SNMP
It is important to properly seal each antenna connection to protect against moisture and corrosion. Each Atlas radio is shipped
with a packet of Coax-Seal® connector sealant which should be applied over each of the SMA connectors. Coax-Seal is a
gum-like tape which is applied by wrapping around the connector and then compressed/molded to form a single cohesive
protective covering over the connector.
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE COAXSEAL IS OVERLAPPING THE CASE TO PREVENT WATER
FROM COLLECTING IN THE RECESSED AREA OF THE CONNECTOR
To properly apply the Coax-Seal product first wrap the connector/case as shown:
Secondly, compress the Coax-Seal product to mold into a single protective covering:
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.
Cat-5 Cabling 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.

Chapter 5 SNMP
The Atlas supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Network management consists of the following 3
categories: configuration, Link and Association monitoring and Alarms. Besides this proprietary Management
Information Base (MIB) the Atlas also supports a large part of the MIB-II OIDs.
Review the Trango MIB (TRANGO-P5M-MIB.mib) available on our website for the complete listing of all MIB objects
available.
These capabilities allow the system administrator to provide superior service through higher network accessibility and
integrated performance monitoring.
Depending on your Network Node Manager (NNM) it may be necessary to append a “.0” onto the end of each of the
OIDs listed below for proper operation.

Chapter 6 Firmware Upgrade Procedure
Trango Broadband Wireless will from time to time release firmware upgrades for the Atlas series radios. The latest
released firmware can be downloaded from http://www.trangobroadband.com/support/downloads.htm.
Firmware releases consists of two files: Main image firmware and Web (HTTP interface) firmware.
Firmware File Names
Firmware files are released in the format shown below. This example consists of main image and web firmware versions
1.0a6.
Main Image:
p5m_1p0a6D05031505_Pupgrade
Firmware Version: 1p0a6D05031505
File Size: 1868288 bytes
Web
web_1p0a6D05031505_Pupgrade
File Size: 131584 bytes
Firmware Upgrade Password
The firmware filenames include the upgrade password (the characters after the ‘_P’ in the file name) The default
upgrade password in the Atlas radios is upgrade. Users may change the upgrade password within the radios using the
password upgrade command. Firmware release files from Trango Broadband Wireless will always be names with the
default upgrade password of upgrade. If the user changes the upgrade password in the radio, then the firmware file name
must be changed as well in order to upgrade the radios.
Upgrade Procedure
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Place firmware files in easily accessible path in your computer.
In order to provide the most stable wireless conditions possible during the upgrade process it is recommended to
set the radio speed to the minimum (6 Mbps) in both the MU and RU. Turn autorateshifting off during the
upgrade.
Turn on the radio’s tftp daemon
From computer’s command prompt, tftp the firmware file into the radio using binary mode.
After file is successfully tftp’d to the radio, the radio will automatically reboot itself and load the new firmware
IMPORTANT: DO NOT POWER CYCLE OR INTERUPT THE REBOOT PROCESS IN ANY MANNER.
WAIT AT LEAST THREE MINUTES TO ENSURE AUTOMATIC REBOOT COMPLETION. LOSS OF
POWER DURING THE REBOOT SEQUENCE WILL RESULT IN A CORRUPTED/INCOMPLETE
FIRMWARE LOAD WHICH WILL REQUIRE REFLASHING AT THE FACTORY.
6.
7.
Repeat process for other radio
Repeat process for web file.

Site Survey Page
The site survey function measures overall noise floor as well as in-band noise containing data packets. Noise is reported
in terms of average and peak dBm for the period tested. The user specifies duration of the test in minutes as well as the
antenna port. To run a site survey, the radio must be in Opmode OFF.
In this example the site survey function was performed for 1 minute on the vertical polarity. The lower band (5250 –
5340 Mhz) is reported to be relatively clean with a noise floor in the range of –97 to –98 dBm. The noise floor in the
upper band (5735 – 5835 MHz) is higher and ranges from –58 dBm (at 5735 Mhz) to –90 dBm (at frequency 5775 MHz.
In this example, channel 19 is the noisiest and should be avoided.

Link Control
The Link Control page features the RF Link Loopback / Speed Test. In this test, the user specifies the transmission rate
(in Mbps) in both the local radio and the peer radio as well as the duration time (in minutes) for the test. During the test,
the local radio will transmit packets across the wireless link. The peer radio will retransmit equivalent packets back to
the local radio. The test will measure and report error rate and actual throughput as measured in Mbps. The following
link test was run for 60 seconds with a specified TX rate of 12 Mbps per end.
To run a link loopback test, both radios must be in Opmode ON and status “Connected”
In this example, the error rate was 2 packets from MU to RU and 0 packets from RU to MU. Measured aggregate
bandwidth is 10.93 Mbps.
