Hardware Connection
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 the front facing the intended signal receiving
devices. You can orient the devices with the assistance of Google Maps,
GPS and some landmarks according to the horizontal beamwidth listed
below.

and the passive PoE adapter.
Shielded CAT5e (or above) cable
with ground wire is recommended
(refer to the next section).

• Mounting CPE
At the selected site, approximately align the CPE to the direction that you
have oriented.
• Mounting Power Adapter (Optional)
Follow the steps below to mount the power adapter:
To ensure the passive PoE adapter is attached most securely, it is
recommended to install the adapter with the Ethernet port facing upward.
1. Drill two holes on the wall and insert the plastic wall anchors into the
the holes. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall. Make sure the
shoulders at the corners of the mounting bracket are on the outside
and pointing upward.
2. Attach the passive PoE adapter to the mounting bracket by sliding
the adapter in the direction of the arrows until it locks into place.

3. Lightning & ESD Protection
Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices.

of the devices?
In order to maximize the received signal strength of the devices,
installers need to minimize the eect 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 gure below.
d2

r
H h+r*(1 40%)
(H is the height of the CPE)
h = the height of
obstacle at this point
where,
r = Fresnel zone radius in meters
8
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 nal result.

By dividing the timing of transmission into dierent time slots,
MAXtream allows the Pharos devices to transmit in rapid
succession, one after another, each using its own time slot to
transmit and receive their own frames, which greatly reduces the
chance of collision.
Pharos MAXtream is a non-standard Wi-Fi protocol that is only
compatible with TP-Link’s Pharos series products. Please notice
that you will not be able to connect other Wi-Fi devices to an AP with
