Hardware Connection

Site Consideration

Mounting Height

Ensure a clear line of sight between the wireless devices for 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 and make sure that they point towards the devices that will receive the signal. You can orient the devices with the help of Google Maps, GPS and some landmarks. The horizontal bandwidth of CPE605 is 7°.

Hardware Installation

TERMS OF USE: TP-Link’s Pharos series outdoor CPEs must be installed by a certified professional. Installers must abide by local rules and regulations in terms of legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

1. Attach the Side Reflector Panels to the Center Reflector Panel as follows:

a. Insert the two mounting studs on the Center Reflector

Panel into the large opening of the slots on the Side Reflector Panel.

b. Slide the Side Reflector Panel until the mounting studs are

positioned over the narrow opening of the slots, and the top edges of the panels should be aligned when done.

c. Repeat step a and step b to attach the other Side Reflector

Panel.

d. (Optional) Attach the Side Reflector Panels to the Center

Reflector Panel more securely using four M2.5x8 bolts and nuts (not provided). This is recommended if the CPE device is exposed to extreme weather, such as strong winds.

2. Attach the Rear Cover to the reflector assembly as follows:

a. While holding the reflector assembly, align the raised edges

on the back with the Securing Arms of the Rear Cover, and align the Snap Hooks on the Rear Cover with the slots on the Center Reflector Panel.

b. Attach the Rear Cover to the reflector assembly. Press upon

the Rear Cover at the four positions marked in the diagram below in sequence until it locks into place.

WARNING:To avoid damage, do not place the panels on a flat surface or push down on it.

3. Insert the Pharos CPE into the Rear Cover until the CPE locks into place.

4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Pharos CPE.

a. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.

Note: The length of the Ethernet cable is up to 60m for steady

power supply.

Power supply distances are based on test results under normal usage

conditions. Actual power supply distance will vary as a result of 1) AP

and 2) cable properties, including type and texture.

b. Attach the Protective Cap to the Rear Cover.

5. Attach the Mounting Bracket to the Rear Cover until the

grooves on the Mounting Bracket are positioned over the pins on the Rear Cover.

6. Secure the Mounting Bracket to the Rear Cover using M6x79

Hexagon Bolts with Wing Nut and Lock Washer Assemblies.

7. Attach the CPE assembly to the pole using the metal Strap.

a. Open the Mental Strap and feed it through the two slots of

the Ball joint Mount.

b. Wrap the metal strap around the pole. Use a socket wrench

or screwdriver to turn the screw clockwise and securely fasten the strap to the pole.

Note: Suitable pole diameters range from 15mm to 70mm.

8. Adjust the azimuth and elevation angle of the CPE device to

achieve maximum signal strength.

Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)

Note: 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.

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.

Lightning & ESD Protection

Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices.

By using shielded CAT5e (or above) cable with ground wire and the provided PoE adapter, you can effectively eliminate ESD attacks.

How to calculate the minimum mounting height

Q2.

of the devices?

In order to maximize the received signal strength of the devices, you 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.

H h+r*(1 40%)

(H is the height of the CPE)

r 



where,

r = Fresnel zone radius in meters

c = 3x108 m/s, speed of light

f = operating frequency of the devices in Hz

d1 & d2 = the distances between the point and the devices in meters

h = the height of obstacle at this point

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:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_zone

What is Pharos MAXtream?

Q3.

Pharos MAXtream is a proprietary protocol developed on the basis of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) by TP-Link.

The MAXtream technology has the following advantages:

Eliminates hidden node collisions & improves channel efficiency.

Lower latency, higher throughput, larger network capacity & more stability.

Improves the QoS for video, voice and sound data stream.

By dividing the timing of transmission into different time slots, MAXtream allows the Pharos devices to transmit in rapid succession, one after another, each stream using its own time slot to transmit and receive 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 note that you will not be able to connect other Wi-Fi devices to an AP with MAXtream enabled.

Q4.

How can I use Spectrum Analysis to find the appropriate channel for the devices?

a window will pop up to remind you that all

Click Start, PharOS will begin to analyze the power of frequency then click

. Observe the curves for a period of time, and

Stop

. Note that the relatively low and continuous part of the average curve indicates less radio noise. Here, we use the figure below as an example.

When choosing channel/frequency, you should avoid the spectrum with large radio noise. In this example, the recommended channel/ frequency is 112/5560MHz.
