Tranzeo TR-CPE
Quick Start Guide
Installing the TRANZEO TR-CPE
Take the following steps to set up your TRANZEO CPE.
Site Selection
Before installation, determine the TR Units location. Proper placement of the unit is critical to ensure
optimum radio range and performance. You may use the Site Survey and Access Points Browser utility (The
utilities included with the wireless PC Card) to choose a proper placement for your unit. Place your unit
within the line of sight of the Access Point. Obstructions may impede performance of the unit.
Tools Required to Install
• One 3/8 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
• RJ-45 Jacks
Before installing, you must determine if you will be installing the unit in a horizontal or vertical orientation.
The TR CPE 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.

Quick Start Guide
Connecting the Ethernet Cable
Step 1
Place the Ethernet Boot Cover over the end of your Cat 5 Cable.
Step 2
Step 3
Insert the Cat 5 Cable and tighten the Boot Cover. Be sure to pull
through enough cable to reach the RJ-45 connector with an RJ-45
jack attached.
Hands tighten only. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as you may damage
the environment seal.
Attach tightening bracket around on top of the Ethernet
Boot. This is easiest to do before you attach the CAT 5
cable.

Step 4
Place the Ethernet boot over the 4 Screw Posts. The screws should just barely
clear the tightening bracket. Apply 4 Ket nuts to the screw posts and tighten until
the metal plate makes full contact with the Ethernet boot. Do not over tighten.
This is an example of over tightening. Over tightening connections
like this may crack the boot and will compromise the gasket seal.
Over tightening is not covered by warranty.
