Hardware Installation

Take the following steps to set up your TR-49.

Site Selection: Before installation, determine the TR-49 unit’s location. Proper placement of the unit

is critical to ensure optimum radio range and performance. You should perform a Site Survey to

determine the optimal location. Ensure the CPE is within line-of-sight of the Access Point.

Obstructions may impede performance of the unit.

Tools Required to Install

• One 3/8 wrench

• One 3/4 wrench

• One RJ-45 crimper

• A suitable length of Cat 5 cable to bring the signal from the unit to the Power over Ethernet

Adaptor

• 2 RJ-45 Jacks

Before installing, you must determine if the unit will be in the horizontal or vertical orientation. The

TR-49 model can be mounted in either orientation. The Ethernet boot should always be placed so

that the cable runs toward the ground for maximum environmental protection.

Connecting the Ethernet Cable

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Place the Ethernet Boot Cover over the end of

your Cat 5 cable.

Attach Ethernet Cable Lock on side of the

Ethernet Boot. This is easiest to do before you

attach the RJ-45 Jack.

Tighten using a ¾” wrench or socket. Tighten

until the Cable Lock touches the Boot as shown

in Step 3.

Step 4

Step 5

Step 7

Repeat steps 2 & 3 to attach the second Ethernet

Cable Lock if you purchased the optional dual

port boot.

Place Sealing Gasket over screws.

Insert the Cat 5 Cable and tighten the Boot

Cover. Be sure to pull enough cable through to

reach the RJ-45 connector with an RJ-45 jack at-

tached. The Gasket must be attached to the

Boot so that it sits between the radio and the

boot.

Hand tighten only. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as

you may damage the environment seal.

Remove gasket backing and place boot cover on

radio. This will ensure that you attach the sticky

side of the gasket to the underside of the

Ethernet Boot. Make sure the Gasket is free of

gaps.

Step 6

Step 8

Attaching the Mounting Bracket

Grounding the Antenna

Using a #6 Green grounding wire, connect the Grounding Lug on the radio to a proper ground. See

APPENDIX A Lighting Information for more information.

Place the Ethernet boot over the 4 Screw Posts.

Apply 4 Kept nuts to the screw posts and tighten

until the gasket makes full contact with the

Ethernet boot. The gasket should be at least

50% compressed.

As shown below, the U-Bolt is designed to mount

around a pole. Tighten bolts sufficiently to

prevent any movement.

Down or up tilt can be adjusted by swinging the

unit before tightening the U-Bolt.

Optional dual port boot specific note.

If you are not going to be using the second port

make sure that it is tightened down to ensure a

weather-tight seal.

Connect the Power Cable

Dual Ethernet Ports

The TR-49 has two Ethernet port available. Port A is used to connect to the radio in the radio in the

case. Port B is used to power and provide Ethernet connectivity to additional devices. This allows

for the daisy chaining of multiple devices together.

Connect the power adapter to the power

socket on the Power over Ethernet Adaptor

(POE), and plug the other end of the power

into an electrical outlet. Plug the RJ-45 Ca-

ble from the unit into the POE. The Station

Adaptor will be powered on and the power

indicator on the top panel will turn on.

NOTE: ONLY use the power adapter sup-

plied with the Access Point. Otherwise, the

product may be damaged.

This unit must be grounded. Connect the

Green Grounding Cable to a known good

earth ground, as outlined in the National

Electrical Code.

Passwords

Information

When you first enter the Web Interface, you will

be required to enter a new recovery password.

This password is intended to allow the ISP to

change the password of the device if they forget

it. This password must be different than the

operator password. Neither password can be

left at default. These passwords must be

changed to access the device. If you do not

enter new passwords, you will return to this

webpage.

In the frame on the

left, select the option

you wish to configure.

Wireless Settings

SSID

The SSID is a unique ID given to an Access Point.

Wireless clients associating to the Access Point must have the

same SSID. The SSID can have up to 32 characters.

Visibility Status

Makes the AP visible or invisible to clients.

Channel

Sets the channel that the AP and clients will use

TX Rate

The rate at which the radio will communicate with the clients.

NOTE: Setting this rate below the maximum possible does not

limit bandwidth, and often has a negative impact on the

operation of your network.

RTS Threshold (0-3000)

Select RTS that works best in your location. A general rule of

thumb is the more clients you have, the lower the value should

be set.

Fragmentation Threshold

Select Fragmentation that works best in your location. The

lower the Fragmentation, the smaller the packets.

Link Distance

Sets the distance of the link for correct ACK timing.

ACK Timeout Tuning (µs)

For fine tuning the ACK timing if required.

Beacon Interval

Sets the rate at which the AP will broadcast its beacons.

DTIM Interval

Sets the DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval.

Helps to keep marginal clients connected by sending wake up

frames.

Burst Time

Sets the Burst Time in ms. which will be used to send data without

stopping. Note that other wireless devices in that network will not

be able to transmit data for this number of microseconds.

802.11d Enabled

Enable 802.11d mode. Not used in operation in the United

States or Canada.

Block Inter-Client Traffic

Select to block wireless communications between clients on the

AP.

Power Cap (dBm)

Sets the output power of the radio.

Preamble

You can now set the preamble type: Long or Auto. Auto tries Short

first, then Long. Long uses Long only. This feature was added to

workaround some competitive AP’s that did not support Auto

Preamble.

PXP How to:

To operate the radio in PXP mode, one radio

needs to be set to Access Point and the other

set to Infrastructure.

♦ Set the SSID to be the same on both

radios

♦ Channel is set by the AP

♦ Enter in the opposite radios’ MAC ad-

dress into the PxP Mac address field on

both radios (no colons)

♦ Check off “PxP Mode Enabled”

Note: The LEDS on the radios will operate the

same as in Infrastructure mode, with LEDS pro-

portional to signal strength.

Image File Name

Enter the location of the Firmware update file, or use Browse to locate the file in your PC, and then press “Upgrade Soft-

ware”

Defaults

Returns all settings to factory defaults.

Device Name

The network name of the device.

User Name

The access user name.

Password/Confirm Password

Enter the password for accessing the device

Ext. Info Enabled

Enable extended information. Extended information is only displayed with Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Access

Points.

Signal / Status LEDs

Un-select to turn off the LEDs on the unit.

SMNP Parameters

Here you set the Read Community string and Contact / Location data. It is highly recommended that you change the

SNMP Read Community string immediately to prevent unauthorized scanning of your network.

Version 2.0 supports MIB-II and the 80211 mib.

Note: The in and out values are in 64 bit values to accommodate the high amount of traffic that could pass through a

backhaul link. This should not impact any monitoring program.

Administrative Settings

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is a modification to the 802.11 spec that allows AP to communicate

directly with each other. WDS allows users to spread out coverage to a larger area without the need for a

backhaul link. The tradeoff is that overall throughput is greatly affected for all users of the AP’s linked. WDS is

not recommended for use with large numbers of clients, or in cases where throughput needs to be maximized.

In cases were large numbers of users are involved, or maximum throughput is need a dedicated PxP link

should be used. However, in areas of low density WDS can allow an ISP to extend coverage into an area at

very low cost.

Enabled

Select this box to enable WDS

HOW TO SET UP WDS

♦ Default the Unit to factory settings.

♦ Check the Wireless Settings of the APs.

♦ SSIDs can be different but the Channels MUST be the same

♦ Under the WDS settings add in the MAC address of the PEER. Unit A gets Unit B's ad-

dress, Unit B gets Unit A's address. Do not insert colons or commas.

♦ Click 'Apply'

♦ Ping a station connected to the opposite end. It should reply.

Considerations for the Use of WDS

1) WDS Links do not appear in the station list or the performance tab. If you need to be able to

monitor the link’s strength and performance you should use PxP mode.

2) Throughput is cut by 50% per link.

3) WDS does not support WPA encryption.

4) All links need to be on the same channel.

Enter the MAC address of a client and then click “add” to associate with it.

Changes to Access Control

NOTE: If you are working via a radio link, the first MAC you should add is the address of the station you are

connecting from. Otherwise, you will lock yourself out of the radio.

1. The Manually Authorize Stations section allows you to enter a long list of MAC address.

2. You can also select specific station that are already authorized and copy them to the Manually Authorize

Stations box.

3. Data in the Manually Authorize Stations box can be copied to the clipboard to be pasted into another unit or a

text file.

4. The Move button moves the MAC Address from Manually Authorize Stations to the Unauthorized list and vice

versa.

This page displays a list of the stations associated with the AP and their connection statistics.

The first column is simply the order in which the stations are stored in the Station Table.

The second column is the name field. If the device is a Tranzeo 49, and it has the Extended Info option turned on in the

Administrative Settings Window, then the device name will appear here. Otherwise, the field will be blank.

You can enter a name into the field by left clicking onto the field and typing the name in. This name will be retained.

However, if the Extended Info is turned on at the client, the name will be overwritten with the name on the client.

The third column is the IP address. As with the name, if the client supplies it via the Extended Info option, it will appear.

Otherwise you can manually enter it.

The fourth column in is the Status field.

The fifth column is the RF power in dBm as detected at the AP. This is one element of a strong link, the signal of the

client end being another. Links should also be at least 10 dB higher than the receive sensitivity of the weakest element

or the noise floor, whichever is higher, on both sides.

The sixth columns shows the radio speed of the link. Speed is based on both signal strength and the quality of the link.

If the link is losing a lot of packets due to poor Fresnel zones or interference, the speed will be lower than the strength

can support.

Stations List (AP Mode Only)

ARP Table

 This feature was added as a troubleshooting screen. It shows the devices which have sent either a broadcast or

directly tried to communicate with the device. Under normal circumstances, there should be a limited number of

entries in this table, especially if you have interstation blocking turned on at the AP.

Network Configuration – Bridge Mode

This page allows you to control the network configuration

of the device.

You can choose Static or DHCP Client IP configuration

for the device.

Note: If you select DHCP, and a DHCP server is not pre-

sent, the device will try to get an IP for up to 5 minutes.

At the end on 5 minutes, it will fall back to a static IP.

You can then locate it using the Locator Program and

change it back to static.

You can also set the Ethernet Speed on this page.

Note: Many Ethernet devices do not auto-negotiate prop-

erly. If you see large numbers of dropped pings, you may

be have collisions. Try locking the device at 10 / Half as

a troubleshooting step. If the packet losses stop, step up

to 100 / Half. If the device the radio is connecting can

not support 100 / Half, you should replace the device or

place a switch in line.

Network Configuration – Router Mode

You can choose Static, DHCP or PPPoE Client IP

configuration for the device. Each of these options are

explained on the following pages.

Note: If you select DHCP, and a DHCP server is not

present, the device will try to get an IP for up to 5

minutes. At the end on 5 minutes, it will fall back to a

static IP. You can then locate it using the Locator

Program and change it back to static.

If you select a PPPoE client, and no PPPoE server can

be found, you may be not be able to access the device

from the WAN side. You will still be able to access it from

the non-PPPoE interface.

You can also set the Ethernet Speed on this page.

Note: Many Ethernet devices do not auto-negotiate

properly. If you see large numbers of dropped pings, you

may be have collisions. Try locking the device at 10 /

Half as a troubleshooting step. If the packet losses stop,

step up to 100 / Half. If the device the radio is

connecting can not support 100 / Half, you should replace

the device or place a switch in line.

Routing is an incredibility complex topic that is way beyond the scope of a QuickStart or Manual. This screen is

intended for those users who have a strong understanding of IP Routing. Misconfiguration on this screen could

result in serious network problems or even the loss of functionality.

Menu Options

Static Routes—Adds a new route to the IP routing table.

System Routes—This section shows the current routing table entries.

Interface—Specifies whether the entry will be enabled or disabled, and what interface it should use transmit the packet.

IP Address—The IP address or network that the packets will be attempting to access

Subnet Mask—Used to specify which portion of the Destination IP signifies the network trying to be accessed and which

part signifies the host that the packets will be routed to.

Note: 255.255.255.255 is used to signify only the host that was entered in the Destination IP field.

Gateway—Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies there is no next hop, and

the IP address matched is directly connected to the router on the interface specified:

Metric—The number of hops it will take to reach the Destination IP or network. A hop is considered to be traffic passing

through a router from one network to another. If there is only one router between your network and the Destination

network, then the Metric value would be 1.

Default Route—Allows the user to change the default route of the radio. This option should be used with extreme

caution.

Cloning MAC

This is a new feature. It allows the CPE the clone the MAC of the device behind it. This feature can be useful

when dealing wth some PPPoE and Radius Implimentations. When the device is in Cloning MAC mode, it can

only be managed from the LAN side of the device.

Port Management

 Port Forwarding

This is a new feature. It allows the radio to forward requests for certain ports to devices behind the router. For

example, the customer has a webserver behind the Radio on a Private Ip that they want to have accessable to the

world, then you can port forward all requests on Port 80 to 192.168.1.2.

Note: In order for this example to work, the management port of the radio would have to changed from port 80 on

the Network Configuration screen.

80

192.168.1.2

 Port Filtering

This is a new feature. It allows the radio to block requests for certain IP’s or ports to and from devices behind

the router. For example, if a customer wishes to block access to FTP from this network to the outside world, you

would

1. Click Add

2. Select Deny

3. Select Source IP Range. Assuming that the clients are on 192.168.1.0/24, then the source IP would be

192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254

4. Select Desintination IP Range. Assuming that the entire outside world was to be blocked, then 0.0.0.0

should entered. 0.0.0.0 indictes all IP’s

5. Select Source Port Range. In this case, enter 0 for all Ports

6. Ignore ICMP type. This field allows you to block certain types of ICMP as a prevention against port scanning

and some viruses

7. Select the Protocol. In this case it would be TCP

8. You must click Apply Changes to save the rule

System Performance (CPE and PxP Modes only)

Statistics

The Statistics Screen is divided into 3 main areas, UMAC*, LMAC* and Ethernet. For Radio Troubleshooting, the UMAC

statistics are likely the most useful. The UMAC breaks down the statistics into Good and Bad Packets, whereas LMAC defines

why the packets are bad.

The statistics are further divided into TX, RX and INT. TX and RX values are useful to ISPs and other users. The INT (Internal)

stats are intended for use by Tranzeo Wireless Technical Support.

* Technical Info:

UMAC or Upper MAC functions occur in the Unit’s Processor.

LMAC or Lower MAC functions occur in the Radio Chipset.

You can click onto each speed level and see how the traffic breaks down. In the TX statistics, there should little to no Tries at

Series 2, 3 or 4. The radio will try to send a packet 4 times at Series 1, and then tries the next series 4 times. In the RX stats, you

should look for Bad CRC’s and Bad Decrypts for signs of RF interference or Fresnel interference links.

Bad PHY’s generally are caused when the radio is unable to decode the packets due to noise.

Note: Communication between APs and Stations always occurs at the lowest rate. In a normal link you should see a fair number

of transactions at the lowest rate.

The failed packets should be 1% or less in a normal operating environment. In the TX statistics, there should little to no

Retransmits at Series 2, 3 or 4. Life Statistics are reset on each reboot.

In the Ethernet Statistics screen, excessive collisions are usually a sign that the radio and the device it is linked to

are not on the same Duplex options. One is at full while the other is at half. Try locking both to the same values.

Collisions do normally occur on an Ethernet network and are generally handled by the Carrier Sense Multiple Access

with Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) mechanism.

Alignment, Length and Excessive FCS errors could the result of a Bad Radio Link, or a bad Ethernet cable.

What is a proper Ground?

This antenna must be grounded to a proper Earth Ground.

According to the National Electrical Code Sections 810-15s and 810-21, the grounding

conductor shall be connected to the NEAREST accessible locations of the following:

a) The building / structure grounding electrode

b) The grounded interior metal water piping system

c) The power service accessible means external to enclosure

d) The metallic power service raceway

e) The service equipment enclosure

f) The grounding electrode conductor

The important thing is to connect to ground at the nearest point.

Why is coiling the LMR or CAT5 bad?

The myth is that lighting follows the path of least resistance. It actually follows the path of least

impedance. Coiling cables creates an air-wound transformer, which lowers the impedance. This

means you are in fact making your radios a more appealing target for surges.

What standard does Tranzeo Wireless equipment meet?

This radio exceeds International Standard IEC 61000-4-5 when properly grounded. For a copy of the

full testing report, see Report Number TRL090904 - Tranzeo Surge Protection board located on the

Tranzeo website.

Is lightning damaged covered by the Warranty?

No. Lightning is not covered by the warranty. If you follow the instructions, you chances of lightning

damage are greatly reduced, but nothing can protect a radio from a direct lightning strike.

Where to Ground the device

This radio must be grounded at the Pole AND at the POE. This is because the radio is between the

Exterior Antenna and the POE ground. See the examples below

APPENDIX A: Lightning Information

Ungrounded Radio

Grounded Radio

Antenna POE Radio

Ground

An ungrounded radio causes the surge to pass through the

radio. In this case the radio most likely will be damaged.

POE Antenna Radio

Ground

A grounded radio causes the surge to pass directly to ground,

bypassing the radio.

.

Cat 5 Cable

POE

In this case, the surge will be

picked up by the Cat 5 cable, and

since the POE is not grounded, the

route for the surge is through the

radio to the antenna, and out

through the building.

Mounting Pole

In this case, the surge will be

picked up by the Cat 5 cable, and

since the POE is grounded, the

route for the surge is through the

POE to ground.

Cat 5 Cable

POE

Ground

Best Practices

1) Always try to run the Cat5 and LMR inside of the mounting pole wherever possible. This helps

to insulate the cable from any air surges.

2) Keep all runs as straight as possible. Never put a loop into the cables.

3) Test all grounds to ensure that you are using a proper Ground. If using a electrical socket for

Ground, use a socket tester, such as Radio Shack 22-141

4) Buy a copy of the National Electrical Code Guide and follow it.

5) If you are in doubt about the grounding at the location, drive your own rod and bond it to the

house ground. At least you will know that one rod is correct in the system.

APPENDIX B: QoS

QoS

Tranzeo Wireless Technologies’ software takes full advantage of technology to ensure a consistently high quality on-line

experience through the use of powerful Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms. The key to making this applicable in a

WISP environment is the Intelligent Stream Handling, a patent-pending algorithm which autonomously manages the flow

of traffic going to the Internet, without the need for user configuration. As a result, real-time, interactive traffic, such as

gaming, VoIP and video teleconferencing, are automatically given the appropriate priority when other users and

applications use the connection. In addition, Intelligent Stream Handling minimizes the impact of large packet, lower

priority traffic on latency-sensitive traffic and eliminates delays. Tranzeo Wireless Technologies’ software effectively

eliminates the lag and breakup problem in online gaming and other voice/video applications.

In today's broadband environment the impact of just one data stream running in parallel with a real-time application can

be quite dramatic. Using NetIQ's Chariot VoIP test measurement over a connection, it can be demonstrated that

introducing a single FTP transfer in the upstream direction will reduce the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) for a G.729 VoIP

codec from a very good 4.4 to a completely unacceptable level of 1 immediately. Using the same scenario with Tranzeo

Wireless Technologies’ QOS enabled, the voice quality remains consistently high with an MOS of 4.4, and maintains that

level even with multiple FTP streams.

♦ Automatic Traffic Classification: Tranzeo Wireless Technologies’ software has the capability of continually

monitoring and classifying traffic on the Internet connection, and dynamically adjusting the way individual streams

are handled at any point in time. This enables latency-sensitive traffic, such as voice, games or even web page

requests, to be given a relatively high priority. As a result, these packets are sent to their destination first, reducing

delay and jitter. Less time-sensitive traffic such as email or file transfers are sent at lower priority. Since Intelligent

Stream Handling operates automatically without the need for user configuration, it is able to effectively make use of

255 priority levels for fine-grained control of the packet streams.

♦ Rate Matching: A process called "rate matching" determines the bandwidth of the broadband uplink automatically so

that it can shape the traffic to smooth the flow between the router and the Internet. This eliminates the potential

bottlenecks and delays that can be caused by "bursty" data traffic.

♦ Dynamic and Adaptive Link Fragmentation: Low priority traffic is also fragmented to reduce the latency and jitter

that can be introduced by long packets. Intelligent Stream Handling adjusts the fragment size based on the uplink

speed and also stops fragmenting long packets when no latency-sensitive traffic is waiting to be sent, to improve the

overall efficiency of the broadband link and ensure voice can sustain a high MOS rating.
