Overview OFDM Chapter 1 Overview The Atlas5010 is a point-to-point (PtP) wireless Ethernet transmission system which provides network connectivity at speeds up to 45 Mbps depending on the transmission distance and noise floor. The Atlas5010 utilizes OFDM technology and is designed for use in long range backhaul and wide area data networking applications. Users are required to simply specify one P5010M (INT or EXT) unit type as master unit (MU) and one unit as remote unit (RU).
Overview Range vs. Throughput Range vs. Throughput The following table shows approximate maximum ranges (at recommended fade margins) achievable with the Atlas5010 system using various antenna configurations. Longer ranges are achievable, but will result in lower fade margins. To estimate theoretical throughput and fade margin for any distance, download the link budget / fade margin calculator tool from www.trangobroadband.com .
Overview System Contents System Contents The Atlas5010 system is available in two versions: Atlas5010-INT Atlas5010-EXT - Radios with integrated 23 dBi antennas (part numbers P5010-INT) Connectorized radios (part numbers P5010-EXT) Each Atlas5010 kit consists of two radios, two power-over-Ethernet (PoE) injectors, two AC adapters, port covers, and mounting hardware. A dual-polarized integrated antenna is located behind the radome of the P5010M-INT.
Overview Location of Serial Number & MAC Address Location of Serial Number & MAC Address The serial number and MAC address label can be found on the back of each radio. The serial number and MAC address is also provided within the system information (sysinfo) screen. Trango Broadband Wireless P5010M- INT Rev.
Getting Started Connections and Power Chapter 2 Getting Started It is always a good idea to first provision and test the radios on the bench before deploying them in the field. This is a particularly useful exercise for the novice user. Connections and Power • Connect a Cat-5 (straight through) Ethernet cable (we recommend shielded twisted pair) between the ODU (out door unit) port of the J-box and the RJ-45 connector on the radio. Note that this cable will carry power-overEthernet (PoE).
Getting Started Configuration Tools Configuration Tools Atlas5010 radios can be configured using either the Command Line Interface (CLI), or the Web Browser (HTTP) interface. The CLI method provides slightly more functionality. This text covers configuration through the CLI. For HTTP configuration please see Appendix A. Telnet Open a command prompt (DOS) session on your PC. Open a Telnet session by typing: telnet Example: C:>telnet 192.168.100.
Getting Started Troubleshooting Ethernet Connections Troubleshooting Ethernet Connections If you cannot telnet into the radio or open an HTTP browser session, check your cable connections to ensure proper use of cross-over vs. straight-through cable, and ensure your PC’s subnet is routable to the radio’s IP address.

Configuration Key Concepts Chapter 3 Configuration Key Concepts Prior to configuring the radios it is important to understand several key concepts: Master Unit (MU) The MU is typically considered the primary radio within the link. For management purposes it is recommended to install the MU closest to the head-end of the network. Remote Unit (RU) The RU is typically installed at the remote end of the link.
Configuration 2. Remote Unit Configuration Set the Peer ID with the MAC address of the RU. Only use the last 8 digits of the MAC address. #> peerid de1B7850 Success. #> 3. Set channel and polarization. (in this example set the channel to 2 and polarization to H). #> freq 20 v Ch# 20 v (5775 MHz) Success. 4. Set default Opmode to ON. #> defaultopmode on Success. 5. Turn Opmode ON. #> opmode on Success. . Remote Unit Configuration Configure the RU in the same manner as the MU.
Configuration Changing IP Address [Speed] 54 Mbps [Tx Power] 17 dBm [Power Range] -4..17 dBm [Peer ID] DE1B7747 [Status] connected [RSSI] -44 dBm [Peer IP Config] 10.8.2.139 255.255.255.224 10.8.2.129 Success. The [status] field indicates whether the MU and RU are connected or disconnected. If connected, the MU and RU will automatically start passing Ethernet traffic over the wireless link. Changing IP Address Use the ipconfig command to change the radio’s ip address, subnet mask and gateway.
Configuration RF Link Loopback Test (linktest command) In addition, these 4 LEDs shall flash ON for 2 seconds, then OFF for 2 seconds to indicate the 'factory reset' button has been activated and the reset successful. ASSOCiation LED (green): The ASSOC led blinks at the following rates: - Once every second when unit is powered on but opmode is OFF. - Twice per second while in opmode ON and scanning for an MU or RU. - Solid after unit is associated with the RU or MU.
Configuration Link Speed & Power Settings Link Speed & Power Settings Users may change the radio’s over-the-air data rate and conducted output power using the speed and power commands. Keep in mind that the lower data rates offer higher receiver sensitivity and higher allowable conducted RF power in the ISM band. The following table shows the relation between speed settings, modulation scheme, receiver sensitivity, and allowable maximum power settings for each band.
Configuration Automatic Rate Shifting Feature Description Automatic Rate Shifting Feature Description With autorateshift feature enabled, the radios will automatically renegotiate the modulation method and speed speed to maximize wireless link integrity. The link speed will vary depending on two factors: 1) the number of ARQ errors received, 2)successful processing of special link assessment packets sent in both the current and next higher speed.
Configuration MIR Feature Description MIR Feature Description Maximum Information rate is configurable on both the MU and RU. The MIR function is performed on the transmit side only and is based on a one second timing interval. During each one second timing interval, the total bits transferred is compared to the MIR limit configured by the user. When the limit is exceeded, no more data is sent and the packets in the queue will be dropped.

Deployment & Installation Cat-5 Cabling Considerations Cat-5 Cabling Considerations Shielded twisted pair Cat-5 cable is recommended for all installations. The shield within the Cat-5 cable does not need to be grounded if the radio itself is grounded. It is important to consider that most Cat-5 cable will deteriorate over time if exposed to the weather (especially direct sunlight). It is recommended that installers place all Cat-5 cables inside conduit. Plastic conduit is sufficient.
SNMP Atlas SNMP Support Chapter 5 SNMP Atlas SNMP Support The Atlas supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Network management consists of the following 3 categories: configuration, Link and Association monitoring and Alarms. Besides this proprietary Management Information Base (MIB) the Atlas also supports a large part of the MIB-II OIDs.
