Passive PoE Adapter: Remote Reset Press and hold for 8 seconds to reset the CPE to its factory defaults. Power LED The Power LED is on when the passive PoE adapter is working normally.
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.
2. Connection and Installation Please connect and install the device as shown in the figure below. The following introduction takes CPE520 as an example. LAN0 PoE LAN Ethernet cable length up to 60m Slide to replace the cover of the CPE when all connections are finished. You should prepare an adequate Ethernet cable to connect the CPE and the passive PoE adapter. Shielded CAT5e (or above) cable with ground wire is recommended (refer to the next section).
3. Lightning & ESD Protection Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices. By using shielded CAT5e (or above) cable with ground wire for the connection and the provided PoE adapter (method 1 ), you can effectively eliminate ESD attacks. If you use the general CAT5e cable for the connection, then it is necessary to connect the grounding terminal of the CPE to earth ground through grounding cable (method 2 ). The following introduction takes CPE520 as an example.

Software Configuration This chapter introduces the login to the PharOS Web Interface and the software configurations. 1. Logging into the PharOS 1. Before accessing the PharOS Web Interface, you need to assign a static IP address 192.168.0.X (X ranges between 2 and 253, e.g. 192.168.0.10) to your computer. 2. Open a web browser, type http://192.168.0.254 into the address field and press Enter (Windows) or return (Mac). It is recommended to use the latest version of Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari.
3. Enter admin for both User Name and Password. Read and agree the terms of use, then click Login. 4. Change the default User Name and Password to protect your CPE. Let’s start configuring the CPE. For subsequent logins, use the new username and password.
2. Configuration for Typical Applications The typical topology is as follows. A wireless bridge is built between two locations that are far from each other. Follow the instructions below to configure the Access Point and the Client. IP camera Computer Access Point LAN: 192.168.0.254 Client LAN: 192.168.0.2 Configure the Access Point (AP) 1. Log in to PharOS and go to the Quick Setup page. 2. Operation Mode: Select Access Point and click Next. 3. LAN Settings: Click Next. 4.
3. LAN Settings: Change the IP Address to 192.168.0.X (X ranges between 2 and 253), the same subnet with the access point, and click Next. 4. Wireless Client Settings: a. Click Survey and select the SSID of the Access Point in the AP list, then click Connect. b. Select WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK from the Security option, enter the same PSK password and distance value of the Access Point, then click Next. 5. 12 Finish: Verify your settings and click Finish to complete the configuration.
Antenna Alignment In order to get the best performance, you can precisely align the direction of the CPE with the assistance of Wireless Signal Quality on STATUS page of the PharOS Web Interface. Adjust the direction of the CPE until the device reaches the highest SNR.

FAQ Q1. How to restore the CPE to its factory default settings? With the CPE powered on, press and hold the RESET button on the CPE or the Remote Reset button on the passive PoE adapter for about 8 seconds until the Wireless Signal Strength LEDs flash. Method 1: The following picture takes CPE520 as an example.
Q2. How to calculate the minimum mounting height of the devices? In order to maximize the received signal strength of the devices, installers 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.
Q3. What is Pharos MAXtream? 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.
average curve indicates less radio noise. Here, we use the figure below as an example. CPE510 and CPE520 have a select box of Frequency Range at the top-left corner. Select the required range and then click Start. When choosing channel/frequency, you should avoid the spectrum with large radio noise. In this example, the recommended channel/ frequency is 1/2412MHz.
