1.1 Sample Configuration
Figure 1-1 shows a configuration example where the TR-WMX-5.8 is connected to the
uplink (WAN) interface on an Ethernet router, hub, or switch. In this configuration, the
TR-WMX-5.8 communicates wirelessly with a base station using its WiMAX interface,
while communicating at 10/100 Mbps with the attached Ethernet device. The TR-WMX-
5.8 also receives its power from the Ethernet connection, eliminating the need to run a
power cable to the TR-WMX-5.8. In this way, the Ethernet device serves as the bridge
between the attached computers and the TR-WMX-5.8.

1.4 Installing the TR-WMX-5.8
The TR-WMX-5.8 can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. Before you install the
unit, determine whether the TR-WMX-5.8 will be mounted horizontally or vertically.
The TR-WMX-5.8 must be installed by a trained professional, value added
reseller, or systems integrator who is familiar with RF cell planning issues and
the regulatory limits defined by the FCC for RF exposure, specifically those
limits outlined in sections 1.1307.
The following procedure describes how to install the TR-WMX-5.8 Outdoor Subscriber
Unit.
1. Mount the TR-WMX-5.8 at the desired location.
2. Attach the boot cover, L bracket, and U bolt to the TR-WMX-5.8, as shown in Figure
1-2.
Figure 1-2. Attaching the Boot Cover to the TR-WMX-5.8
3. To power the TR-WMX-5.8:
– Connect one end of a Category 5 Ethernet LAN cable to the TR-WMX-5.8 Ethernet
port.
– Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled CPE on the supplied PoE
adapter.
– Connect the supplied AC adapter to the PoE adapter.
– Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet. The TR-WMX-5.8 performs its self-
test for about 30 seconds. Then the TR-WMX-5.8 LEDs show the status of the unit
(see section 1.6.2).
Do not connect a device other than the TR-WMX-5.8 to the CPE port. Network
equipment that does not support PoE can be damaged permanently by
Installing the TR-WMX-5.8
TR-WMX-5.8 Outdoor Subscriber Unit User's Guide
5
connecting to a PoE source. Most Ethernet interfaces on PCs, laptop/notebook
computers, and other network equipment (such as Ethernet switches and
routers) do not support PoE.
4. If your unit has an external antenna, turn off power to the TR-WMX-5.8, then attach
the antenna to the TR-WMX-5.8 antenna connector. Mount the antenna in a location
that provides the best communication with the base station.
Be sure to turn off power to the TR-WMX-5.8 before mounting the antenna.
5. Use the Ground terminal on the TR-WMX-5.8 to ground the unit (for best practices,
see section 1.4.1).
When used in Norway, Finland, or Sweden, this equipment must be installed
in a Restricted Access Location.
This equipment is intended for installation by trained / competent service
personnel only.
Figure 1-3 show an example of the TR-WMX-5.8 installed.
Figure 1-3. Sample TR-WMX-5.8 Installation
Chapter 1, Basic Installation
6 TR-WMX-5.8 Outdoor Subscriber Unit User's Guide
1.4.1 Installation Best Practices
Observe the following best practices when installing the TR-WMX-5.8.
The TR-WMX-5.8 10/100 Ethernet port auto-senses the cable connected to it and adjusts
automatically. The Ethernet connector is protected with a weatherproof housing. Pin
assignments for this connector are shown in Table 1-1.
Always try to run the Category 5 cable and LMR inside the mounting pole whenever
possible. This helps to insulate the cable form any air surges.
Keep all runs as straight as possible. Never put a full loop into the cables.
The TR-WMX-5.8 antenna’s grounding system must be installed according to Article 810-
15, 810-20, and 810-21 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1993 or
applicable National or Local Wiring Codes / Rules. Test all grounds to ensure that they are
using a proper Ground. If you use an electrical socket for Ground, use a socket tester,
such as Radio Shack 22-1412. We recommend you obtain a copy of the National Electric
Code Guide and follow its guidelines. If you are in doubt or have questions about the
antenna grounding system, contact a local licensed electrician. Alternatively, you can
drive your own rod and bond it to the house Ground; this way, you will know that at
least one rod is correctly grounded in the system.
Never attach a Grounding wire when the TR-WMX-5.8 is powered. If the Ground is to be
attached to an existing electrical circuit, turn off the circuit before attaching the wire.
Never install radio equipment, such as the TR-WMX-5.8, during an electrical storm. In
addition, to protect your system against damage from lightning, design the system so it
does not attract lightning (it cannot repel lightning, either). National, state, and local
codes are designed to protect life, limb, and property and must always be obeyed. When
in doubt, consult local and national electrical codes or contact an electrician or
professional trained in the design of grounding systems.

1.5 Configuring the TR-WMX-5.8
After installing the TR-WMX-5.8, use the procedures in the following sections to
configure it using its Configurator.
1.5.1 Logging in to the Configurator
Your TR-WMX-5.8 provides a Web-based Configurator for performing advanced
configuration activities. After you install your TR-WMX-5.8, use the following procedure
to launch the Configurator.
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port on the PoE to a network-
interface card (NIC) in a PC or network hub.
The TR-WMX-5.8 Ethernet port is equipped with an auto-sensing Ethernet port
that allows both regular and cross-over cables to be used.
2. Start your Web browser and point it to one of the following default IP addresses:
http://192.168.101.151 or http://192.168.0.1. The Login page in Figure
1-4 appears, with your cursor in the User name field.
The default IP address is the same for all TR-WMX units. Therefore, do not
simultaneously connect multiple unconfigured TR-WMX units to a common
Local Area Network (LAN) and try to access them using the default IP address.
To connect to the Configurator, your PC’s IP address must be on the same
subnet (192.168.101.xxx, where xxx is a number from 1 to 253) as the TR-
WMX-5.8, and the PC’s netmask must be set to 255.255.255.0.

2.3.2 VLAN Settings
A VLAN is an administrative grouping of network devices that is logically segmented, by
functions, project teams, or applications rather than a physical or geographical basis.
VLANs provide the segmentation services traditionally provided by routers in LAN
configurations. For example, all workstations and servers used by a particular workgroup
team can be connected to the same VLAN, regardless of their physical connections to
the network. In this way, you can use VLANs to reconfigure the network through
software rather than physically unplugging and moving devices or wires.
Clicking the VLAN link under Network Setup in the left pane of the Configurator
displays the VLAN Settings page. Use this page to select the security settings for the TR-
WMX-5.8. Figure 2-5 shows this page, and Table 2-4 describes the fields and buttons on
it.
The VLAN Settings page is divided into four areas:
The top area lets you enable and configure the management VLAN.
The middle area lets you define rules for the management VLAN.
Buttons below the rules area let you add, edit, delete, and update a management VLAN.
The bottom of the page shows the VLAN rules that have been defined.

addresses. This information is preserved as the frame moves through the network..
(default)
• Drop – a Tag Header is not added to the frame.
Nested VLANs Nested VLANs (also known as VLAN double tagging) are used to overlay a private Layer 2
network over a public Layer 2 network. This provides simple access to an infrastructure of
network service providers in networks. With a nested VLAN configuration, each customer is
given a customer-ID, which is a unique identifier within the service provider infrastructure.
Traffic from individual customers is tagged with the customer-ID and segregated from other
customer’s traffic.
