The TR-5A Series radios are easy to install, as you‘ll see in this chapter. Before starting, you will need to get the tools listed below and decide about the site and orientation of the device. Once ready, follow the instructions about how to install the Ethernet cable, mount the device, ground the antenna, and make the connections in order to get a proper installation.

Getting Ready

Tools Required

To install your TR-5A Series radio you will need the following tools:

 1/2‖ wrench x 1  3/4‖ wrench x 1  3/8” wrench x 1  Cat 5 cable stripper x 1  Cat 5 cable (to connect the radio to the POE adapter)  RJ-45 patch cable  RJ-45 crimper x 1  RJ-45 connectors x 4  #6 green grounding wire

Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

Site Selection

Determine the location of the radio before installation. Proper placement of the device is critical to ensure optimum radio range and performance. You should perform a site survey to determine the optimal location.

Ensure the CPE is within line-of-sight of the access point. The line-of-sight is an ellipse, called Fresnel zone. This zone should be clear of obstacles since obstructions will impede performance of the device.

Installing the Ethernet Cable

Step 1:

Insert the strain relief, without the cap nut, into the port opening of the boot cover.

Step 2:

Using a 3/4‖ wrench, tighten the strain

relief until it touches the boot cover.

IMPORTANT! Use hand tools only. Do not over tighten.

Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

Step 3:

Put the cap nut back over the strain relief and insert the Cat 5 cable through it. Wire the cable following the EIA/TIA T568B standard, and attach the RJ-45 connectors to each end of the cable. (See Appendix F: Wiring Standard).

Step 4:

If you purchased the device with a dual port cover, repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 for the second port.

IMPORTANT! If you are not going to use the second port, insert the strain relief into the boot cover and tighten the cap nut to ensure a weather-tight seal, as shown in the picture.

Tranzeo Wireless Technologies

Step 5:

Place the gasket—with the adhesive side facing up—over the 4 studs around the port of the radio. Flatten the gasket ensuring there are no gaps. Remove the backing.

Step 6:

Plug the Cat 5 cable inserted in the boot cover into the port. Remember to place the boot cover according to the desired polarization, so that the strain relief faces the ground.

Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

Step 7:

Fit the boot cover over the 4 studs and the gasket. Secure with 4 keps nuts. Tighten

with a 3/8‖ wrench until the gasket is at

least 50% compressed.

Step 8:

Make sure the cap nut of the strain relief is tightened properly to ensure a weatherproof seal.

IMPORTANT! Hand tighten only. Do not over tighten as you may damage the weather-tight seal of the strain relief.

Tranzeo Wireless Technologies

Connecting the Radio

Step 12:

Connect the Cat 5 cable from the radio into the RJ-45 jack marked ―CPE‖ on the POE adapter. The POE adapter is not weatherproof and should be installed indoors.

Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

Step 13:

Connect the power adapter to the POE adapter and plug the other end to an outlet. The POE adapter will be powered on and the power indicator on the top panel will turn on. We recommend connecting the power adapter to an outlet with surge suppression capability with an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) for reduced outages.

IMPORTANT! Use the power adapter supplied with the radio. Otherwise, it may be damaged.

Step 14:

To configure the TR-5A Series radio, connect the Ethernet cable to the POE adapter and to a computer. Ensure that the distance between the computer and the radio does not exceed 300 ft (90 m).

Note: If connecting to a hub or switch, a crossover cable may be required.

Best Practices

Follow these practices to ensure a correct installation and grounding.

 Always try to run long Cat 5 and LMR cables inside of the mounting pole.

This helps to insulate the cable from any air surges.

 Keep all runs as straight as possible. Never put a loop into the cables.  Test all grounds to ensure that you are using a proper ground. If using an

electrical socket for ground, use a socket tester, such as Radio Shack 22-141.

 Keep a copy of the National Electrical Code Guide at hand and follow its

recommendations.

 If you are in doubt about the grounding at the location, drive your own rod

and bond it to the house ground. At least you will know that one rod is correct in the system.

PxP Setup

Point to Point (PxP) mode is a Layer 2 transparent protocol optimized for backhaul use. PxP mode is recommended whenever two network segments are to be bridged.

To operate the radio in PxP mode:

1. Set one radio to Access Point and the other to Infrastructure Station.

2. Enter the same SSID on both radios.

3. Set the Channel on the access point.

4. On both radios, enter the Mac address of the opposite radio in the PxP Mac Address field (no colons).

5. Check off PxP Mode Enabled.

Note:

Chapter 3: Configuration

In PxP mode, the LEDs on the radios will operate the same as in Infrastructure Station mode on both AP and CPE unit, with LEDs proportional to signal strength.

PxP Guidelines

There are a few guidelines you should follow when putting in a PxP link.

1. Determine the locations for each side of the link.

2. Determine the distance of the link and the heights of the installed equipment.

3. Using the details from step 2 check the Fresnel Zone and line of site.

4. Verify that the line of site is free of obstruction.

The cross section radius of the Fresnel zone is the highest in the center of the RF LoS which can be calculated as:

Wireless Settings - Advanced Tab, Access Point

This window displays the advanced wireless configuration of the device. The contents are slightly different for access point and CPE.

RTS Threshold:

Chapter 3: Configuration

This is the maximum size for a packet to be sent automatically. When it exceeds the RTS threshold, the

CPE sends first a ‗request to send‘ (RTS) to the access

point before sending the packet. Note: The more clients you have, the lower the value should be set.

Fragmentation

Threshold:

This is the size at which packets are fragmented in order to be transmitted. Setting this value too low decreases the amount sent on each transmission. In noisy areas, this can improve performance. However, in quiet areas, this will decrease throughput.

ACK Timeout Tuning:

The time that the radio waits for an acknowledgment (ACK) from the access point accepting transmission before re-attempting to send the data. This is an offset from the ACK timing set by the link distance.

Beacon Interval:

This is the rate at which the access point broadcasts its beacons.

DTIM Interval:

The DTIM interval (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) helps to keep marginal clients connected by sending wake up frames.

Burst Time:

This allows to send data without stopping. Note that other wireless devices in the network will not be able to transmit data for this number of microseconds.

802.11d Enabled:

Preamble:

Check to operate in 802.11d mode.

Select type: Long uses long preamble only, Auto (recommended) tries short preamble first, then long.
