TR-MX2 is an all-in-One AP/WDS/CPE device. Tranzeo’s TR-MX2 series of wireless LAN products are IEEE 802.11a/n compliant, operate in the license-free 2.4 GHz frequency band, and support data rates of up to 300 Mbps. The versatile multi-mode design supports AP and CPE modes, as-well-as WDS and Bridge modes. It also features advanced networking and management capabilities including WEP/WPA/WPA2 security, WMM QoS, and NAT Routing. The TR-MX2 offers new options such as up to 4 Virtual Access Points, VLANS, choice of 5/10/20/40 MHz channels and Layer 2 transparent Bridging. The compact TR-MX2 design features a high performance radio. The all-in-one design comes complete with a passive PoE injector and DC adaptor, requiring a single CAT5 cable for power and data, yielding the lowest cost of ownership. The TR-MX2 also features a weather-resistant enclosure that is compliant with the IP55 environmental standards, requiring minimal installation and maintenance costs in conditions ranging from -40° C to +60° C. The TR-MX2 family of products is also backed by a 1-Year Parts and Labor Warranty and Tranzeo’s unparalleled Lifetime Technical Support for worry-free network operation. It is PoE powered, which allows the radio to be used in areas where power outlets are not readily available.

It enables the bridging of wireless clients to wired network infrastructure and enables transparent access and communication with each other. The illustration below shows a typical resources sharing application example using this device. The wireless users are able to access the file server connected to the switch, through the access point in Access Point Mode. Access Point WDS Mode This is mode is generally use for point-to-point or point-to-multi-point connection. It is mainly use with Client WDS to build the point and multi-point connections. Client Mode In Client mode the device acts as a wireless client. When connected to an access point, it creates a network link between the Ethernet network connected at this client device, and the wireless Ethernet network connected at the access point. In this example the workgroup PCs on the Ethernet network connected to the Client device can access the printer across the wireless connection to the access point where the printer is connected. Client WDS Mode Client WDS mode is similar to Station mode. The difference is Client WDS must connect to access point configured to Access Point WDS (or RootAP) mode. Client WDS is mainly use for point-to–point connection between 2 buildings or locations as far as several kilometer away. Point-to-Point An access point setup as Access Point WDS (or RootAP) and other as Client WDS (Transparent Client). Point-to-MultiPoint An access point setup as Access Point WDS (or RootAP) and several other devices as Client WDS (or Transparent Client). This mode is generally used for outdoor connections over long distances, or for indoor connections between local networks. Router Mode In Router Mode, the device also operates as a router. Either the wireless or Ethernet can be setup as WAN connection to a broadband modem. Wireless as WAN is known as Client + Router mode (or Wireless Routing Client mode) and Ethernet as WAN is known as AP + Router mode (or Gateway mode). Device supports both types of broadband connections Static IP and dynamic IP. For setup details refer to the respective section. The illustration below shows the Ethernet port is setup as the WAN port and the wireless connection as the LAN. Client + Router connection example Wireless is use to connect to the broadband. Ethernet is the local network (LAN) sharing the broadband connection. AP + Router connection example Ethernet is use to connect to the broadband. Wireless is the local network (LAN) sharing the broadband connection. Broadband Internet Access Type: Static IP Address Use Static IP Address you have subscribed a fixed IP or range IP addresses from your ISP. Dynamic IP Address With Dynamic IP Address the device automatically request IP address from modem or ISP. TR-MX2 QUICK INSTALL GUIDE Installing the Ethernet Cable into the TR-MX2 Install using straight through Ethernet cables Summary Steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove Bottom Cover as described above Connect a PC/laptop to Ethernet/LAN port of the POE Connect an Ethernet cable from the powered RJ45 POE port to TR-MX2 Power the POE unit with the supplied power adaptor (connect only to a grounded outlet) Configure PC with a static IP address in the same subnet of the TR-MX2 (192.168.1.x) like 192.168.1.101 6. From a web browser, connect to the configuration page http://192.168.1.100 (username/password as below) Step 1: Hold unit with release tabs facing up and the cover away from you. Push down release tab at one end and pull away that corner with the other hand, just over the catch clip, leaving about a 2mm gap. Do the same on the other end and the cover can be pulled off easily to reveal the dual Ethernet ports and Reset pin. Ensure that the black cable inserts remain in place and do not fall out. Mount the TR-MX2 on a suitable pole with the supplied straps as shown Step 2: Connect an Ethernet cable form the PC/Laptop to the PC connector on the POE LAN port. Step 3: Connect an Ethernet cable from the TR-MX2 unit to the POE port on the POE. Note: On the TR-MX2, there are two Ethernet ports. It is highly recommended to use the Ethernet port closest to the reset pin as the primary use port. This is the active port used to load new firmware from power on state in the event a firmware recovery procedure is necessary. The other port would be recommended port for daisy chaining Step 4: Connect a PC to the “LAN” Port of the POE, with a straight through Ethernet cable. Note: Connect the radio to the “POE” port and the “LAN” port to PC/switch/router. Power the POE unit with the supplied cord, and ensure power source has earth pin. Step 5 Connecting to the TR-MX2 AP Before accessing the configuration interface, you have to change the network connection settings in your computer to be on the same subnet as the radio. Alternatively, you could use the Victor Utility program to assign the radio a temporary IP alias that is on the same subnet as your computer. Changing the IP Address - Windows 7 1. In your computer, open Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center then click change adaptor settings on the left hand menu. Select and right click the Local Area Connection icon. 2. Select and right click the Local Area Connection icon. Then click Properties. 3.

The contents are slightly different for access point and client modes. Use the WIF1 tab to set up the main AP, and click the General Setup button. ESSID (SSID) and operating mode can be setup from the General Setup tab TR-MX5 22 WIRELESS MODES There are 4 modes available. Selected from the General setup tab in the Interfaces group. Access Point This mode is the default mode and enables wireless client to be connected to this AP, and then forwards all the traffic to the network devices connected to the Ethernet devices of the Station. Access Point (WDS) This mode can be connected to Client WDS mode. Using WDS protocol, it allows a client or station device to bridge wireless traffic transparently. TR-MX5 23 Client Mode This is a client mode that can be connected to an Access Point mode. It is used to bridge the wireless connection to an Access Point. It forwards all the traffic to/from the network devices to the Ethernet interface. This mode translates all the packets that pass through device to its own MAC address, thus resulting in a lack of transparency. Client (WDS) Mode WDS is the acronym of Wireless Distribution System. It can be connected to the Access Point WDS mode. It enables packet forwarding at layer 2 level. Unlike Client mode, it is fully transparent at layer 2 level. **Note: for Client WDS, and Access Point WDS WDS protocol used is not clearly defined within the standards, thus compatibility issues between equipment from different vendors will arise. TR-MX5 24 WIRELESS SECURITY All the wireless security settings are set under this section. The operation of the Keys is the same for ALL the Wireless modes. PSK (Default) – WPA or WPA2 with Pre-shared Key method cipher TKIP - Temporal Key Integrity Protocol which uses RC4 encryption algorithm. CCMP (AES) - Advanced Encryption Standard CCMP (AES) algorithm. AUTO (Default) – Automatically select between both algorithms. Preshared Key This option is available when WPA or WPA2, with PSK selected. The pre-shared key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. *** Important: 802.11n network using WPA authentication should use AES cipher type for connection. Only AES allows highest transmission speed and throughput operation. Using WPA-TKIP cipher type device will limit maximum transmission speed of up to 54Mbps only TR-MX5 25 The device configuration section, under the General Tab allows for Wireless link optimization parameters to be set. TR-MX5 Mode can be set for 802.11a or 802.11an Channel Width can be set for 20 MHz or 40 MHz Transmit Power Cap can be set in increments of 1 dBm, from 0 dBm to 30 dBm Distance optimization value in meters, will configure RTS/CTS delays for best performance. 26 NETWORK View network status, and set DHCP, DNS and LAN parameters from this tab when EDIT is clicked.
