1. Site Consideration
• Mounting Height
Ensure a clear line of sight between the wireless devices for an
optimum performance. An elevated location is recommended as
obstacles like trees, buildings and large steel structures will weaken the
wireless signal.
See Q2 in FAQ for details about how to calculate the minimum
mounting height of the devices.

• Orientation
Install the CPE devices with their fronts facing the signal receivers. You
can orient the devices with the assistance of Google Map, GPS and
some landmarks according to the horizontal beamwidth listed below.

2. Ethernet Cable Preparation
1. Select the adequate type of Ethernet cable.
The shielded CAT5e cable with ground wire (refer to the figure below)
is prior to the general shielded CAT5e cable during the whole cabling.
The former can more effectively protect your devices against ESD
attacks under brutal outdoor environment.

2. Review the routes of connecting the POE Adapter to the CPE and
evaluate the Ethernet cable length for all the connections, then
prepare adequate Ethernet cable.

4. Lightning & ESD Protection
Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices. Pharos
CPEs provide two methods to protect the devices from damage of
lightning and ESD attacks as shown in the figure below.
Two Methods:

In most cases, adopting either of the two methods can be adequate, but
adopting both of them can offer more effective protection.

Software Conguration
This chapter introduces the login to the Pharos Web Interface and the
software configurations to implement Point-to-Point application.
1. Login to PharOS
1. Before accessing the PharOS Web Interface, you need to assign
a static IP address 192.168.0.x (2≤x≤253) to your computer. We use
192.168.0.10 as an example in the figure below.
8
2. Open your web browser, type 'http://192.168.0.254' in the address
field and press 'Enter'. It is recommended to use the latest version of
Google Chrome, Safari or Firefox.
3. The 'Login' page will appear, set the parameters as below.
• Username: admin
• Password: admin
• Region: select according to your country/region
• Select 'I agree to these terms of use'
• Click 'Login'
4. At the first login, change the 'Password' for safety.
For subsequent logins, you only need to enter the username and password
that you have set to log in.
9
5. Then you will log in to the PharOS Web Interface and see the Status
page, shown as the figure below.

Antenna Alignment
In order to get the best performance, you can precisely align the
direction of the CPE with the assistance of 'Wireless Signal Quality' on
STATUS page of the Pharos Web Interface.

Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ)
Q1. How to restore the CPE to its factory
default settings?
With the CPE powered on, press and hold the 'RESET' button of the
CPE or the 'Remote Reset' button of the Passive PoE Adapter for about
8 seconds until the Wireless Signal Strength LEDs flash.

Q2. How to calculate the minimum
mounting height of the devices?
In order to maximize the received signal strength of the devices,
installers need to minimize the effect of the out-of-phase signals,
which is caused by obstacles in the path between the transmitter and
the receiver. Fresnel Zone is a usual method to calculate this path, as
shown in the formula and the figure below.

m/s, speed of light
c = 3x10
f = operating frequency of the devices in Hz
d1 & d2 = the distances between the point
and the devices in meters
For example, assume d1 is 2km, d2 is 8km, and f is 2.4GHz, then r
would be 14.142m. Considering a toleration of 40%, allowable radius
would be 8.485m. Assume h is 10m, then the result of the minimum
mounting height based on this point would be 18.485m. Similarly,
calculate the results based on all the points where there are obstacles,
and the maximum value would be the final result.
For more information, please refer to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_zone

Q3. How can I use Spectrum Analysis
to nd the appropriate channel for the
devices?
1. Log in to PharOS, on the 'WIRELESS' page, you can find the 'Spectrum
Analysis' button as shown in the figure below. Click the button.
2. The following window will pop up. Click 'Yes' and you will then get
into the Spectrum Analysis page.
3. Select the 'Frequency Range' and click the 'Start' button, the PharOS
will begin to analyze the power of the frequency. Watch the curves
for a period of time, and then click 'Stop'. Mark the relatively low and
continuous part of the average curve, and note the corresponding
frequency range.
Here we take the figure below as an example.
15
4. Close the Spectrum Analysis Window, and then you will get
back to the Wireless page. For the Channel/Frequency option, it is
recommended to select a value whose frequency is within the noted
frequency range.
So, in this example, the recommended Channel/Frequency is
116/5580MHz.
