Thank you for purchasing the StrataPro 24 unlicensed point to point microwave system.
This guide is designed to assist with basic installation and configuration of the system.
For advanced settings, refer to the User Manual and application notes.

System Components

The basic link consists of the following items:

2 each all outdoor radio model SP24 radios.
2 each +56VDC PoE Injector (required only if Power over Ethernet is used)
2 each pole mount kits
Cat5e/Cat6 shielded cabling with shielded plugs as needed.

Additional items may be needed depending on the link configuration. A List of the most
common part numbers used for the system is given in Table 1.

Radio Unit Overview

Below is a picture showing the main interfaces of the SP24 after removing the port
cover (loosen the two captive thumbscrews)

User Interfaces

P1 (RJ45) – Port 1 Ethernet Interface for Traffic and Management (Default).
Autonegotiate 100/1000 BaseT. This port also supports PoE operation using the POE­GIGE-56 Power Injector. This is the default traffic and management port.

P2 (SFP) - Port 2 Ethernet Interface for Traffic and Management. Autonegotiate

100/1000 BaseT for Copper SFP and 1000 Base-X or 2500 Base-X for Fiber. Use only
Trango approved SFP modules.

P3 (SFP) - Port 3 Ethernet Interface for Traffic and Management. Autonegotiate
100/1000 BaseT for Copper SFP and 1000 Base-X for Fiber. Use only Trango approved
SFP modules. With the optional SFP-Console cable this port can be directly connected
to a PC Serial port.

P4 (SFP) - Port 4 Ethernet Interface for Traffic and Management. Autonegotiate
100/1000 BaseT for Copper SFP and 1000 Base-X for Fiber. . Use only Trango approved
SFP modules.

NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT POE to SFP ports AS THE SFP MODULE WILL BE DAMAGED

48VDC - Direct Power Terminal Block for applying direct +48 VDC nominal power to the

unit. Usable range is +43 to +57 VDC

BNC – Output of DC voltage proportional to the RSSI level. The chart below gives the

RSL(dBm) -90 -85 -80 -75 -70 -65 -60 -55 -50 -45 -40 -35 -30 -25 -20

BNC Voltage (V) 0.10 0.30 0.50 0.70 0.90 1.10 1.30 1.50 1.70 1.90 2.10 2.30 2.50 2.70 2.90

voltage vs RSL.

BNC Connector w/Cap

The BNC Voltage = 0.1 +0.04 x (90+RSL) Volts, where RSL = -90 to -20 dBm

Reset A/B – The Reset buttons (recessed in the hole) operate as described below – Note
that all LEDs will blink on/off once per second while holding as a way to count the
seconds elapsed.

1) Hold for more than 3 seconds, but less than 6 seconds
a. The IP address will be reset to defaults based on button

i. 192.168.100.100 for Reset “A”

ii. 192.168.100.101 for Reset “B”
b. The CLI management passwords will be reset to default
c. The Web interface passwords will be reset to default.
d. The SNMP read/write/trap community strings will be set to defaults.
e. The CLI prompt will be reset.

2) Hold for more than 6 seconds: The unit will reset the system configuration to

the factory defaults, but NOT reset the items in (1) above. The unit WILL
REBOOT automatically.

a. The TX and RX Frequencies will be reset to allow a link to be established

as follows:

i. TX/RX Frequency of 24.1/24.2 GHz for Reset “A”

ii. TX/RX Frequency of 24.2/24.1 GHz for Reset “B”

Link LED – Green LED is solid on when linked with the far end unit, and Flashing when
not linked. LED will be solid at system power up for up to 2 minutes.

RSSI LEDs – Amber LEDs are lit up based on the M1 RSSI according to the following
table:

0 LEDs: RSSI < -65 dBm

1 LED: RSSI > -65 dBm

2 LEDs: RSSI > -60 dBm

3 LEDs: RSSI > -55 dBm

4 LEDs: RSSI > -50 dBm
5 LEDs: RSSI > -45 dBm

6 LEDs: RSSI > -40 dBm

Xin/Xout (XI model only) – Input/Output coaxial connection to second MIMO radio for
use in 4x4 MIMO configuration –Radios must be spaced at the optimum distance for
proper operation (See manual for details). CBLDAT-MIMO-9 kit required for spacings up
to 3 meters. Connect Xin to Xout on second radio.

USB Port – Reserved for Future Use - Do not connect

1+1– 1+1 Hot Standby port for monitoring connection to Hot Standby Radio. The

Standby unit should be as close as possible to the Active Unit and aligned with the far
end. CBLDAT-RIU5 cable required for each end of link.

Note that this cable carries monitoring information for the Standby unit to determine if
the Active unit is operating properly. If the cable is removed during operation then the
Standby will activate. Ensure that the cable is securely installed. See Full User Manual for
more details.

Radio Management

There are three ways to manage the StrataPro System:

1) In-Band Management (IBM) without a VLAN using the management port (default

P1). Only traffic coming into the radio from management port or the RF with the
Radio MAC address will be forwarded to the CPU and all other traffic will be
forwarded to over the link. This is the default configuration.

2) In- Band Management (IBM) with a VLAN using the management port (default

P1). . Only traffic coming into the radio on the management port or the RF with
a matching VLAN ID and the Radio MAC address will be forwarded to the CPU. All
other traffic will be forwarded over the link. The VLAN tagging option must be
enabled and the VLAN ID set.

3) Out- of- Band Management (OBM). The system will pass management traffic

coming into the OBM port to the CPU and not forward any traffic across the link
from this port. Disable IBM to enable OBM on the current management port.

Using the web interface is the easiest way to set up the system. Both sides of the link
can be set via a web session with only one radio.

Management of the radio may be done via the following interfaces:

1) Web Browser

2) Telnet

3) SSH

4) Console port

This Quick Start Guide covers the basic Web based setup. For other interfaces, please
read the User Manual.

The radio has two levels of access, View and Config. View allows only viewing of the
various parameters while config allows changing them. The default login and passwords
for each level are:

View Level Login: admin
Password: trango

Config Level Login: config
Password: trango

Trango Systems, Inc. StrataPro 24 Quick Start Guide 7

WEB BROWSER SETUP

The best performance is obtained using Google Chrome as the browser.

When using the web in config mode, changes can be entered and changed on the link by

pressing the “Apply Changes” button. The changes will take effect immediately but will
not be saved to FLASH memory. If a reboot is performed, the last saved configuration of

the system will be reloaded.

To permanently save the changes after verifying the changes, press the “Save Changes”
button. This will overwrite the configuration file in FLASH so that the next time the
radio is rebooted the changes will take effect.

When purchased as a link, one radio will be programmed with the IP address

192.168.100.100 and the other will be 192.168.100.101. The radios are setup with a
default 100 MHz channel bandwidth with IBM enabled on Port 1. Traffic can be carried
on any port over the link.

After logging into the config level and selecting the Link Setup Page, the IP address,
Netmask, and Gateway should be changed as appropriate for both radios. Press the
“Save Changes” button to the left to save the IP address. When properly linked the
display should show the locked indications at the top of each page.

- 13 mm or ½” Socket wrench for standard mount assembly

- 8 mm or 5/16” Socket wrench for attaching radio to mount and ground lug.

- Multimeter with CABLDAT-RSSI for antenna alignment

PATH

- Line of sight (LOS) with no obstructions in the Fresnel Zone

-

MOUNTING STRUCTURE

- Building or 1.5 to 3 inch diameter pole with < 1.5 degrees vertical or horizontal

movement under windload.

- Radios must be mounted at least 8 feet off the ground for best performance

POWER

- 110 or 240 VAC if using PoE Adapter

- +43 to +57 VDC/1.5 Amp Regulated Power Supply if using direct input

GROUNDING

- Min 10 AWG grounding cable with #10 Spade Lug, maximum length 1 m/3 feet

CABLING

- Cat 5e or Cat6 Shielded Twisted pair with shielded plugs. The cable shield should

be electrically connected to the plug shell. If using PoE the cable to the radio
should be no longer that 250 feet total.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:

The radios come preconfigured from the factory and will link up with no change to user
settings. The only change that must be made is to set the static IP address of the radios.
Follow the steps below to set the IP address and verify the RF link before installation.

1) Apply power using the PoE or with direct power (+56VDC)

2) Set up a Personal computer which has it’s local IP and subnet mask set as

follows:

IP: 192.168.100.10

Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.100.1
