These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. Operation of this equipment in residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at this own expense. The user should not modify or change this equipment without written approval from company name. Modification could void authority to use this equipment. For the safety reason, people should not work in a situation which RF Exposure limits be exceeded. To prevent the situation happening, people who work with the antenna should be aware of the following rules 1. Install the antenna in a location where a distance of 32.5 cm from the antenna may be maintained. 2. While installing the antenna in the location, please do not turn on the power of wireless card. 3. While the device is working, please do not contact the antenna. 4. RF exposure: The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter” Copyright Copyright © 2004 all rights reserved.

Site Selection: Before installation, determine the TR-CPE200 Units location. Proper placement of the unit is critical to ensure optimum radio range and performance. You should perform a Site Survey 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-CPE200 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. Vertical Orientation Horizontal Orientation

Step 2 Step 3 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 attached. Hand tighten only. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as you may damage the environment seal. Attach tightening bracket on top of the Ethernet Boot. This is easiest to do before you attach the CAT 5 cable. The Gasket must be attached to the Boot so that it sits between the radio and the boot.

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. Attaching the Mounting Bracket 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.

Wireless clients associating to the Access Point must have the same SSID. The SSID can have up to 32 characters. TX Rate The rate at which the radio will communicate with the AP. NOTE: Setting this rate below the maximum possible does not limit bandwidth, and often has a negative impact on the operation of your network. Ad – Hoc / Infrastructure Select Infrastructure for any WISP operation Channel Only applicable in Ad-Hoc Mode AP Density Best set to Low in most WISP applications 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 (256-2346) Select Fragmentation that works best in your location. The lower the Fragmentation, the smaller the packets. Security Enabled Turn On WEP Key Length Level of Encryption. NOTE: 64 bit is called 40 bit on some systems Encrypted Data only Only Connect to a system if WEP is enabled Shared Key Authentication Turn on Shared Key Authentication Keys Enter your WEP keys. NOTE: Keys must be entered in HEX only.

G = gain of antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator. R = the distance between the observation point and the center of the radiator in cm. Pd is the limit of MPE, 1mW/cm2. If we know the maximum gain of the antenna and the total power input to the antenna we can calculate the distance r where the MPE limit is reached.
