2. Install the PoE at an indoor location where power and network
equipment is available.
3. Run Ethernet cable from the PoE to the mounted Trinity unit.
4. Repeat the above steps for the unit at site B.
5. Align antennas for best signal reception.
6. For optimal link throughput the following parameters must be
updated in the web interface
• Distance - should accurately reflect the distance in kilometers between the units.
1.6 Mounting a Trinity unit
A Trinity unit should preferably be mounted on a mast, if this is
not possible due to the surrounding area it could also be mounted
directly on to a wall. Make sure there are no obstacles directly in
front of or near the unit.
Note The Trinity units should be mounted with their antennas
having a clear line of s ight between them!
Observe the antenna polarization and make sure they match
at both installation sites, failure to install the units with matching
polarization will result in radio s ignal degradation.
Use the supplied mounting kit to securely mount the units at
both locations, make sure the mounting brackets are connected
to ground.
Tip Do not tightly secure the unit and/or antenna until the
alignment process in complete

equipment is available. The PoE can be located at most 100 meters from the unit.
Note The supplied PoE-adapter (Power-over-Ethernet) is strictly
for indoor use only!
Tip Make a loop on the Ethernet cable indoors near the PoE to
allow water to drain more easily from the cable, before reaching the PoEs unprotected Ethernet co nnector!
Connect the PoE port marked ”P+DATA OUT” to the Trinity unit
using an outdoor-rated Cat5E Ethernet cable. The PoE port marked
”DATA IN’ should be connected to user supplied network equipment such as a switch or router.
Note The Trinity unit will boot as soon as the Ethernet cable
from the PoE is connected!
1.9 Finalizing the installation
Once both units are mounted they need to be aligned for proper
operation. The Trinity system assists you in doing this using external visual signals and a web interface that shows detailed information about the link status and its signal strength.

Securing the installation
When the Trinity link is running and the antennas have been properly aligned the units must be secured in place to avoid the units
moving due to strong winds. If the units become misaligned the
link might be lost.
Tightly fasten the mounting brackets to secure the unit in place,
make sure the brackets and chassis are connected to ground. Secure Ethernet and antenna cabling using cable ties to avoid unnecessary wear on the cabling material and connectors.
Installation Guide 12
Configuration
The Trinity-100 series units can be configured via a web interface
built-in into the unit or using the Repeatit network management
system RCS.
2.1 Trinity-100 series Configuration concepts
The Trinity-100 series features an advanced configuration management system with the ability to roll back to previously working settings, even with automatic rollback in case of link loss.
This helps you to try out different settings to optimize your link
throughput while minimizing the risk of a disconnected link.
Configuration areas
A Trinity-100 series unit has several what is called ”co nfiguration
areas”, these areas hold configuration data and each area contains one unique configuration instance. Some areas contain different data depending on the unit status whilst some only contain
static configuration data that never change.
The following different areas exists with in a Trinity-100 series
system
In-active
When you modify the configuration via the web interface all changes
end up in this area. This is only a place holder until you choose
to apply the new configuration, until that time you can rollback
and/or keep modifying any setting without disrupting the unit or
link status.
Active
This area always contains the c urrent settings in use by the unit.
Stored
Contains the configuration currently written to flash, this might
differ from both the in-active and active configuration.
13
Trinity-100 Series Configuration
Factory defaults
Static bare basic configuration.
Note The factory default IP address is 10.0.0.1, the default
username is ”admin” and default p ass word is ”public”.
2.2 Configuring using the Trinity-100 series
web interface
Both units in your Trinity-100 series link can be fully configured using the built-in web interface. The following section will guide you
through how to use the interface to modify the link configuration,
please refer to section 2.3 for details on the available configuration parameters.
All configuration options in the Trinity-100 series can be found
under the tab marked ”Configuration” in the web interface.
Modifying the configuration
To modify a configuration parameter, change its value and press
the button labeled ”Set”. This will save your changes to the ”inactive” configuration area, but will not modify the running configuration of the unit. This means that the unit will continue to
operate while you are modifying your configuration.
Tip Clicking the question mark next to an option will bring up
an instant help dialog with a brief description of the parameter.
After modifying a setting the current value in use by the unit
will be shown to the right of the option. Attempting to set an invalid value, such as a too large distance value or an invalid IPaddress, the configuration modification will fail and the field containing invalid data will be highlighted in red.
Applying a new configuration
When you have performed your required modifications you need
to ”apply” the new settings for the unit to use them. This is accomplished by clicking the ”Apply” button in the status pane to
the left of the settings, as shown in figure 2.1.
When you click the ”Apply” button the unit will attempt to reconfigure itself with the new settings. If the apply operation is
successful the unit will be running with your new settings, if the
Configuration 14
Trinity-100 Series Configuration
(a) After set (b) Configuration
Figure 2.1: Configuration after set
apply fails the unit will automatically revert back to the previous
working settings.
If you happen to make a configuration mistake you are able to
manually roll back to a previous working configuration by using
the ”Load configuration” functionality, see section 2.2 more information.
Note Apply does not permanently save settings to flash!
Saving settings to flash memory
Once you have a configuration running you are satisfied with you
need to save this to flash so that the configuration is retained
across a power failure or reboot of the unit. Saving settings to
flash can only be done after you have successfully applied a new
configuration, this is to protect the unit from miss-configuration.
Note Settings will be lost if you do not save your configuration
to flash!
When the unit detect that it is running with a configuration that
has not been saved to flash it will show a ”Save” button in the left
status pane as illustrated by fi gure 2.2.
Configuration 15
Trinity-100 Series Configuration
Rolling back settings
The Trinity-100 series system allows you to roll back settings if
you happen to miss-configure a unit. To rollback settings use the
”Load configuration” feature present in the left status pane (shown
in figure 2.3.
Figure 2.2: Saving configuration to flash
Figure 2.3: Load configuration drop-down
The drop-down box contains a list of available configuration areas you are able to load existing configurations from. For example, to revert back to the settings stored on flash you would select
”Stored settings” from the drop-down list and press the ”Load”
button.
Loading settings will place them in the ”In-active” area, you can
then ”Apply” these these settings as with any other configuration.
Automatic rollback of settings
When configuring a remote unit over its own radio link you always
risk losing the connection in case of a m iss -config uration. The
Trinity-100 series unit assist you in this aspect by providing the
option to automatically rollback to previous working settings after
a specific amount of time.
Tip Use automatic rollback when configuring a unit over its
own radio link!
To use this feature check the box marked ”Safe apply” in the
Configuration 16
Trinity-100 Series Configuration
(a) Safe apply (b) Countdown
Figure 2.4: Automatic configuration rollback
left status pane before pressing the ”Apply” button. You can select a different timeout than the default 5 minute by changing the
value in the box next to the checkbox.
When you press ”Apply” the unit will reconfigure itself with the
new settings and the buttons ”Keep” and ”Revert” will appear next
to a countdown timer. Once the timer expires the unit will automatically revert back to its previous settings, to keep your settings
you need to press the ”Keep” button. If yo u want to revert your
changes before the timer expires you can do so by pressing ”Revert”.
Restore to default
You can load the ”Factory defaults” to restore the unit to a basic
working condition.
It is also possible to restore the unit to default settings in one
action without the need for an explicit ”Apply” and ”Save” by using the dedicated ”Restore to default” function available on the
”Admin” tab or by using the Repeatit RTD client software, see section 3.4 for more information on this.
2.3 Configuration parameters
Numerous configuration parameters can be set, some are only
available on ”master” units. The following section describes the
available configuration parameters in more d etail.
Configuration 17
Trinity-100 Series Configuration
Radio settings
The radio settings control parameters related to the radio interface.
Mode
A unit can operate in two different modes, master or slave. A
master is passive while the client is the active participant.
Master Defines the channel to operate on and the d istance to its
Client The slave will attempt to connect to any master that matches
Remote MAC
Radio device MAC address of the remote peer. Settings this will
ensure that your unit only connects to a specific peer. If left blank
(00:00:00:00:00:00) the Trinity will use the Link I D and RSSI values
of surrounding units to select which peer to connect to.
slave. Which slave that is allowed to connect is determined by
the remote MAC address setting.
its configured remote MAC address.
Note If left blank it is recommended to use a unique Link ID
Channel
Specifies which radio channel that should be used. Only required
on the ”master” side.
Note For European ETSI domains the frequency range 5.15-
5.35 GHz is solely for indoor use. It is not allowed to use channels within this band in an outdoor installation.
Transmit rate
Controls the radio modulation used for transmission, which affects the transmission rate. If ”Channel bandwidth” is changed
the same modulation will be used but the display will be updated
to show the actual data rate. Only required on the ”master” side.
Link ID
An arbitrar y, 32 character long, identifier that allows you to differentiate between multiple Trinity-100 links.
Note The Link ID Must be equal on both units
Configuration 18
Trinity-100 Series Configuration
Encryption key
Specifies an encryption key phrase used for the AES-128 bit encryption of the radio traffic.
Note It is not possible to disable encryption and the key must
be equal on both units
Regulatory domain
The frequency band is divided up into channels, with each local
regulatory agency defining what is permitted for use in its area.
This affects which channels that are available and the max TX
power.
Warning While it is possible to choose a different regulatory domain that enables the use of other frequencies, it is at all times
the customers responsibility to ensure that the correct regulatory
domain is selected for the country of operation.
• The installation must comply with local radio regulations regarding allowed frequencies.
• Repeatit AB and its resellers or distributors are not liable for
any damage or violation of government regulations that may
arise from failing to comply with these guidelines.
Channel bandwidth
How much of the frequency band should be used for a single channel. Setting this to 40MHz (on units supporting 40MHz) will increase the available transmit rate, but each channel will require
twice the spectrum width.
Transmit power
Effect in dBm of the signal transmitted from the radio device. Most
regulatory domains have a limit on how high the transmit effect
plus antenna gain may be (EIRP).
The EIRP is calculated by adding the antenna gain to the configured transmit power. Example, Trinity 216 with 16 dBm antenna
and 14 dBm TX power results in a 14 + 16 = 30dB m EIRP.
Configuration 19
Trinity-100 Series Configuration
Warning The user must assure that the maximum local EIRP limits
are not exceeded, to achieve this the output power may have to
be reduced. The device is by default configured to with a transmit
power setting to meet a EIRP limit of 30 dBm. Please consult your
local regulatory agency or a Repeatit sales par tner for information
on power limits in your area.
• The installation must comply with local radio regulations regarding maximum allowed EIRP.
• Repeatit AB and its resellers or distributors are not liable for
any damage or violation of government regulations that may
arise from failing to comply with these guidelines.
Antenna gain
This should be set to the gain in dBm of the connected antenna.
Only applicable for units with external antenna.
Distance
For best throughput this should be set to the physical distance in
kilometers between the Trinity-100 series units. Only required on
the ”master” side.
CAC Policy
This will allow you to control the DFS CAC (Channel Availability
Check, i.e the amount of time to listen for radar before using a
channel) policy. Selecting ”Regulatory” will follow the rules according to the selected regulatory domain, this is the recommended
setting. Selecting ”Custom” will allow you to enter a custom DFS
CAC time.
Note Note that in Europe, according to the ETSI EN 301 893
regulation, there is a 10 minute CAC time on the 5.6GHz band
due to weather radars.
Warning Overriding this might violate the regulations in your
area! You are required to consult with your local regulatory agency
before modifying this setting!

The spectrum analyzer tool assist you in selecting a clear channel
free from other OFDM radio traffic and with minimum amount of
background noise.
The spectrum analyzer shows the amount of environmental RF
energy for each available channel, classified as valid OFDM signals
and other RF noise.
Refreshing the noise information requires the unit to disable
the link and listen for a short time (less than a second) on each
channel, this operation might take several minutes to complete.
