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

2-4 Hardware Installations
Take the following steps to set up your TR-CPE200.
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.

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
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.
A
ttach 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.

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.
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.

Connect the Power Cable
Connect the power adapter to the power socket on the Power over Ethernet Adaptor, and plug the other end
of the power into an electrical outlet. Plug the RJ-45 Cable from the unit into the POE. The Station Adaptor
will be powered on and the Red power indicator on the top panel will turn on.
NOTE: ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the Access Point. Otherwise, the product may be
damaged.

Service Set
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.
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

entered in HEX only.

RF Exposure Evaluation
FCC 1.1310 states that the criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the
environmental impact of human exposure to RF radiation as specified in 1.1307(b)
Frequency Range
(MHZ) Electric Field
Strength (V/m) Magnetic Field
Strength (A/M) Power Density
(mW/cm2) Average Time
(A) Limits for Occupational/Control Exposures
300-1500 -- -- F/300 6
1500-100,000 -- -- 5 6
(B) Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposures
300-1500 -- -- F/1500 6
1500-100,000 -- -- 1 30
Fries Formula
Fries transmission formula: Pd = (Pout*G)/(4* p*r2) Where
Pd = power density in mW/cm2
Pout = output power to antenna in mW.
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.
