Overview
This manual covers basic configuration and installation of the Access5830 Subscriber Unit M5830S-SU-EXT and
Access point unit M5830S-AP-EXT. Since these devices require manual maximum power limit, they are classified
by the FCC as a professional install device. To be in compliance with FCC guidelines, the radio must be installed
with one of several approved antennas listed in this document.
The M5830S-SU-EXT is currently FCC certified for use with three external antennas.

General Information
Contents
Each M5830S-SU-EXT/M5830S-AP-EXT comes equipped with the radio itself, a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) JBox, an AC adapter, and mounting hardware for both pole and wall installation. The MAC ID and Serial # are
printed on a label on the back of the radio.
Antenna Connections
The radio is equipped with two reverse-polarity SMA connectors on the side for attachment to an external antenna.
Each SMA connector is labeled with either “V” for Vertical or “H” for Horizontal polarization.
VERTICAL
Connect each cable to the appropriate vertical and horizontal ports on both the antenna and the radio.
HORIZONTAL
Ethernet / Power Connections
See the Access5830 User Manual for detailed diagram for connecting radio to network or PC utilizing the power
over Ethernet (PoE) J-Box and cat-5 cables.
! IMPORTANT: DO NOT APPLY DC POWER TO THE RADIO UNTIL THE ANTENNA IS
ATTACHED OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO THE RADIO MAY OCCUR.
Setting the Maximum RF Power:
Model M5830S-SU-EXT
The FCC allows a maximum EIRP of 1 watt (30 dBm) for devices transmitting in the 5.25 to 5.35 U-NII band. The
M5830S-SU-EXT’s factory default maximum power setting for this band is +6 dBm. If the radio is to be equipped
with Trango standard antennas AD5830-23-D or AD5830-24-D, no manual adjustment to the max power setting is
required since radio power output plus antenna gain does not exceed 30 dBm.
However, due to FCC restrictions the professional installer must manually reduce the maximum power for
the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz U-NII band if a higher gain antenna is to be used.

Access5830™
The table below shows the maximum power setting for the radio to achieve an EIRP of 1 watt (FCC limit). Only
the antennas listed below are FCC Certified for use with the M5830S-SU-EXT.
Antenna Model Antenna Gain (incl/cable loss) Radio Max power setting
AD5830-23-D +24 dBi +6 dBm
AD5830-24-D +24 dBi +6 dBm
SPD3-5.2 +30 dBi 0 dBm
M5830S-SU-EXT/M5830S-AP-EXT Professional Installation Guide
NOTE: that in all cases, Antenna Gain – cable loss + Radio Power Setting = 30 dBm (UNII band. 1 dB cable
loss is assumed . Once the max power is set, the power leveling feature will still operate normally, but the
maximum EIRP will never exceed 1 watt (30 dBm).
The Max Power Setting command is only accessible from the command line and is not available on the HTTP
Browser interface.
The telnet or serial port command to change the maximum power is:
uniimaxpower <max power in dBm>
The flash memory must be updated after running the command. save systemsetting
The command must be run prior to installing the antenna and while the Opmode is OFF.
Example: To set the max power setting for the AD5830-23-D:
#> uniimaxpower 6
#> save systemsetting
Note: The maximum RF power may be left at +22 dBm for the 5.725 to 5.85 GHz ISM band regardless of
which FCC Certified antenna is used. No manual setting is required.
Model M5830S-AP-EXT
The FCC allows a maximum EIRP of 1 watt (30 dBm) for devices transmitting in the 5.25 to 5.35 Ghz U-NII band
and 4 Watts (+36 dBm) for devices transmitting in the 5.725 to 5.85 GHz ISM band. The M5830S-AP-EXT’s
factory default maximum power setting for the UNII band is +16 dBm, and +22 dBm for the ISM band. Depending
on the antenna used the power output maximum must be adjusted per the following table.
Antenna Model Ant Gain (incl/cable loss) Radio Max power
UNII Band ISM Band
OD58-12 +11 dBi NA +22 dBm
SAH58-120-16 +15 dBi NA +21 dBm
SEC-55D-90-16 +15 dBi +15 dBm +21 dBm
NOTE: that in all cases, Antenna Gain – cable loss + Radio Power Setting = 30 dBm (UNII band) or +36
dBm (ISM band). 1 dB cable loss is assumed.
NOTE: The Omni and 120 degree sector antennas are not designed for use in the UNII band.
The Power Set command is accessible from the command line or the HTTP Browser interface.
The telnet or serial port command to change the maximum power is:

SU Antenna Alignment
To align the SU antenna for optimal performance, follow the procedure outlined in the Access5830 User Manual.
This procedure is also included below for your convenience. The same procedure applies to both the M5830S-SU
and the M5830S-SU-EXT.
Once the SU’s antenna is mounted and aimed in the general direction of the AP, it is time to perform an RSSI test
to determine the signal strength from the AP, and to precisely align the SU antenna for maximum signal strength.
SU Antenna Alignment Procedure
1. Ensure AP is in opmode “AP”
2. Telnet into the SU (while in opmode “OFF”) or access the radio via hyperterminal/serial port.
3. Type command RSSI <channel> <polarization> - Example RSSI 3 V (chan. 3, vertical polarization)
4. Telnet session screen will begin a continuous readout of the received signal strength.
5. As you read the RSSI reading, move the antenna in the horizontal and vertical planes until the maximum
RSSI reading is achieved. For short links you can expect an RSSI of –60 dBm or better. For longer links
and RSSI of –75 dBm is acceptable. Any RSSI of less than –80 dBm may be too weak for the radios to
reliably associate and pass data.
6. If it is not possible to receive an adequate RSSI reading, it may be necessary to reorient the AP (up/down,
left/right), to increase the output power of the AP, or to move the SU to a location with better line-of-sight
conditions to the AP.
Once you are satisfied with the RSSI reading, tighten down the antenna in the optimum position. To stop the RSSI
continuous readout, hit SPACE ENTER.
Note: The amber light on the bottom of the SU will also indicate RSSI according to the following parameters:
-80dBm not lit
RSSI <
RSSI > -80dBm blinking.
RSSI ≥ -65dBm solid. (blink rate increases with signal strength.)
