Introduction Section 2 Overview Introduction Your Trango Broadband Access5830 radio system provides a reliable and robust means to deliver broadband access to a wide geographic region through wireless Ethernet connectivity. This section will familiarize you with basic operational concepts, as well as an overview of the various components and hardware of the Access5830 system.
Introduction SmartPolling™ Overview SmartPolling™ Overview One of the major advantages of the Access5830 system is the ability of the AP to handle multiple SU connections, and share the 10 Mbps data throughput very efficiently. Bandwidth allocation is managed by the AP’s SmartPolling™ algorithm according to provisioning rules set up by the system administrator. The AP polls each SU in a round robin format to determine if the SU has data to transfer.
Hardware Overview Section 3 Access5830 Radio Types Hardware Overview This section provides details about each radio in the Access5830 family. Each radio in the Access5830 family includes electronically switchable dual-polarized antennas (internal or external). All units are designed for outdoor installation, and are powered by Power-over-Ethernet (POE) for ease of installation. The Access5830 Access Point and Subscriber Units are single band radios, and provide channels of operation in the 5.

Getting Started Section 4 Connections and Power Getting Started This section explains how to power your radios, establish TCP/IP connectivity to the radios, as well as how to access the HTTP browser and the command line interfaces. Connections and Power Connection and powering of the radios is the same for both APs and SUs. • 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.
Getting Started Opmode and Radio Management Concepts Opmode and Radio Management Concepts Proper connections to the radios, and careful IP/routing and planning, will enable the network administrator to access and manage the radios remotely over the network. Radio management through TCP/IP can be performed from a PC connected to the Ethernet port of the radio. Furthermore, PCs connected to the AP can manage SUs over the wireless connection.
Getting Started Browser Interface Browser Interface The HTTP browser interface is an easy-to-use, configuration and management tool. The web pages originate from the radio itself, so no additional software is needed on the managing PC other than a web browser. The browser interface’s functionality is a subset of the commands available in the command line interface (CLI).
Getting Started Browser Interface Figure 4-4: Web Browser System Information Page Figure 3-4 shows the System Information page for an Access Point. Basic system information for a subscriber unit is similar, and is covered in detail later in this text. The following describes the primary features and pages of the HTTP Browser interface: Navigation Column: The blue rectangular column on the left of all pages. The top displays the model number of the radio to which you are connected.
Getting Started Command Line Interface Command Line Interface Although most radio functions can be managed using the browser interface, the command line interface (CLI) does provide slightly more functionality. The CLI can be accessed through Telnet (all radios), or via the serial port (excluding FOX radios). 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 Command Line Interface Serial Port on M5830 Series Radios M5830 Access Points and Subscriber Units feature a serial port. The serial port is useful in the event that the radio cannot be accessed via TCP/IP (HTTP or Telnet). A Terminal Emulation program (such as HyperTerminal on the Windows operating system) can be used to access the radio’s CLI using the radio’s serial port, which is located behind the RJ-11 access cover on the bottom of the radio.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface Section 5 Configuring AP’s Subscriber Unit Database Basic Configuration via Browser Interface This section describes a few more basic concepts and how to establish a basic wireless link between the AP and the SU, using the Browser (HTTP) Interface. This section addresses only the most basic steps in establishing a link in the lab, or a bench-top environment.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface ! Configuring AP’s Subscriber Unit Database 1. Connect to the AP (see Getting Started), and open the Subscriber Database page. 2. Enter the SU ID. 3. Select either PRIORITY or REGULAR. 4. If SU will be part of an SU to SU group, enter the SU to SU group number. Note: SUs using SU to SU communication must be on the same subnet! 5. Enter the SU’s CIR. 6. Enter the SU’s MIR. 7. Enter the SU’s Device ID. 8. Click Save and Activate changes.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface Configure Other Basic AP Parameters Configure Other Basic AP Parameters In addition to setting up the SU in the SU Database, the following settings from the AP’s Configuration page must be set (or left at default). Base ID: User definable base station ID (1-127); typically assigned to a group of APs at a particular cell site. The Base ID in the AP must match the Base ID in the SU in order for the link to be established.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface Configure Other Basic AP Parameters Connect to the AP (see Getting Started) and open the Configuration page. 1. Set the Base ID. (Must match the SU.) 2. Set the AP ID. (Used to identify the AP, not essential in establishing a link.) 3. Set the IP, Subnet, and Gateway. (Not essential for a link.) 4. Set the Default Opmode to "AP." 5. Set the Active Channel and Polarization. (Must match at least one set in the SU Scan Table.) 6.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface Configure Basic SU Parameters Configure Basic SU Parameters Each SU must be set up with basic information to communicate with the AP. At a minimum the Base ID must match the Base ID of the AP, the SU ID must match the SU ID in the AP’s SUDB, and the AP’s active channel must exist in the SU’s AP Scan Sequence. To set up the SU, complete the following steps: 1. Connect to the SU (see Fundamentals), and open the Configuration page. 2. Set the Base ID.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface LED Summary LED Summary At this point it is useful to learn about the various LEDs, which can be found on the bottom of Access5830 radios (both M5830 series and FOX series). These LEDs can assist the user in determining radio and link status.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface RF Link Loopback Test Using this page the user can immediately see which SUs have associated. In the page shown, SU ID# 107 is associated, and SU IDs 11, 22, 33, and 44, are not. Consider "Power Off" status synonymous with "not associated." Power leveling takes place automatically every time an SU associates, so in most cases it is not necessary to manually run power leveling. A thorough explanation of this feature is in the Configuration section.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface Advanced Setup Page Advanced Setup Page The Advanced Setup page includes several important parameters including RF TX Power, RF RX Threshold, and Target RSSI from SU (AP only). This screen also includes the radio’s channel table, which can be configured by the user. Note: M5830 Series radios include the ISM band on this screen. FOX Series radios only include the ISM band. RF TX Power: Sets the conducted RF power output from the radio.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface Other Key Parameters Other Key Parameters This section describes the remainder of the parameters listed on the System Information page. Most of these parameters are the same for both APs and SUs. Hardware Version: Hardware version is factory-set and can not be changed by user. FPGA Version: Field programmable gate array firmware currently loaded on the radio. Normally the FPGA firmware will not require upgrading. Firmware Version: Main firmware.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface Site Survey Page Site Survey Page This is a useful tool for detecting interference. It is not meant as a substitute for a Spectrum Analyzer. The radio must be in Opmode "OFF" in order to use this feature. Enter the number of minutes desired for the survey, and select the polarization. Click "Start Survey." A survey of the default 6 channels will be performed. Results are reported in dBm per channel as average and peak.
Basic Configuration via CLI Section 6 Access Point Basic Settings Basic Configuration via CLI It is important for users to be familiar with the CLI interface as well as the Browser Interface. This section covers how to utilize the radio’s CLI interface to establish a working wireless link. Much of the information presented here is similar to the information presented in Section 5. This section covers the most common settings using the CLI.

Please note that if the radio is attached to a metal pole that is earthgrounded, no other grounding is necessary.
Mounting Hardware Cabling and Grounding Considerations CABLE TIE Figure 7-10: Cat-5 Cable Strain Relief It is advised that the radio be grounded through the use of the shielded twisted pair’s drain wires. Prior to crimping the STP Cat-5 cable, strip back approximately 18” of sheathing to expose the drain wires. Cut all wires except the drain wires and then crimp as normal. Ensure that the drain wires make contact with the RJ-45 metal housing.
Mounting Hardware Weatherizing Weatherizing ! Important! If not using a conduit, the Ethernet port compression washer on the 5830 series radios should be loosely tightened around the cat-5 cable to allow pressure equalization within the radio’s enclosure. Leave approximately 1 mm around the Cat-5. ! It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for the STP Cat-5 cables. Do not mount the radio upside down.
Deployment Section 8 Site Selection Deployment Once you are familiar with the basic operation of the radios you are ready for deployment in the field. The deployment process consists of the following steps: • Site Selection • Site Survey • Channel Planning • SU Antenna Alignment • Link Management Commands Site Selection Proper site selection for your AP will help ensure a successful deployment.
Deployment Freq 5724 MHz peak -73 dBm max avg -91 dBm Freq 5728 MHz peak -83 dBm max avg -94 dBm Freq 5732 MHz peak -90 dBm max avg -96 dBm Freq 5736 MHz Ch 1 peak -82 dBm max avg -94 dBm Freq 5740 MHz peak -84 dBm max avg -94 dBm Freq 5744 MHz peak -83 dBm max avg -94 dBm Freq 5748 MHz peak -90 dBm max avg -96 dBm Freq 5752 MHz peak -83 dBm max avg -94 dBm Freq 5756 MHz Ch 2 peak -90 dBm max avg -96 dBm Freq 5760 MHz peak -83 dBm max avg -94 dBm Freq 5764 MHz peak -83 dBm max avg -94 dBm Freq 5768 MHz pea
Deployment AP Search and SU Antenna Alignment Once the SU is installed and aimed in the general direction of the AP, it is time to perform an RSSI (relative signal strength indicator) test to determine the signal strength from the AP, and to precisely align the SU antenna for maximum signal strength. Although it is possible to rely upon the subscriber unit’s LEDs for alignment, more precise RSSI readings are available from the command line interface ssrssi command.
Deployment Link Management Commands Press [space] then [enter] to stop AP 11 -44 dBm AP 11 -46 dBm AP 11 -47 dBm #> If it is not possible to receive an adequate RSSI reading, it may be necessary to reorient the AP (up/down, left/right), increase the output power of the AP, or 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 SU in the optimum position. To stop the RSSI continuous readout, hit SPACE ENTER.
Deployment Link Management Commands #> su live ----------- Live ----------88 --> 1 SU Success. Note: In this and the following examples, the SU ID is 88. su ping The AP will send 10 RF pings to the designated SU ID. The response from each ping will indicate latency (in microseconds) and the strength (RSSI) of the signal received back from the SU for each of the 10 pings. Note that this command will also tell you the distance from the AP to the SU.
Deployment Link Management Commands linktest This command checks the integrity of the wireless link from the standpoint of performance. The AP will send 500 large packets to the SU, and the SU will return what it receives to the AP. Small numbers of errors are inconsequential. Look first for an average throughput above 9000 kilobits per second (kbps). A perfect link (without dropped packets) will yield average throughput over 10,000 kbps.
Management Section 9 SU Management from AP Management This section covers the following topics: • SU Management from AP • TCP/IP SU Management • Security • SNMP SU Management from AP Network management can be performed by the following methods • HTTP Interface • CLI See Appendix B -- Command Set Reference • SNMP Manager The AP provides functionality and several commands that permit the management of associated SUs.
Management TCP/IP SU Management TCP/IP SU Management As noted in the “Getting Started” section, it is possible to use the telnet and HTTP interface to manage the SU from the AP side of the wireless connection as long as switch #2 (TCP/IP for AP switch) is turned on at the SU. To turn on switch 2 (while logged into the AP) use the following command: su sw 2 on Example: su sw 2 all on (to turn on switch 2 for all associated SUs) Note: Switch 2 default from factory is on.
Management Objects for Monitoring and Control Objects for Monitoring and Control SU Bandwidth Monitoring • suEthRXAvgThroughputLog – Average payload data throughput (in Kbits/sec) received on the Ethernet port over the period specified by suStatisticsSamplePeriod (1 ~ 60 minutes). • suEthTXAvgThroughputLog - Average payload data throughput (in Kbits/sec) transmitted on the Ethernet port over the period specified by suStatisticsSamplePeriod (1 ~ 60 minutes).
Management SNMP Setup SNMP Setup Trango Broadband provides only the MIB portion of the SNMP Management system. The radios act as individual agents. It is up to the user to provide an SNMP Manager software from a third party vendor. Below is an example of the setup process for SNMPc from Castle Rock™. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

RF Primer Appendix D RF Primer RF Primer This section explains and simplifies many of the concepts relating to antennas and RF (Radio Frequency) technology. It is not intended as a substitute for all the academic background that can be useful in deploying any wireless system. General Concepts A radio system modulates, or encodes, information to the transmitter. This modulated signal is transmitted through an antenna, which converts the RF signal into an electromagnetic wave.
RF Primer RF Primer Figure 9-2: Attenuation of an RF signal Pin is the incident power level at the attenuated input. Pout is the output power level at the attenuated output. Attenuation is expressed in dB as follows: PdB = -10 x Log (Pout/Pin) For example: If, due to attenuation, half the power is lost (Pout/Pin = 1/2), attenuation in dB is: -10 x Log (1/2) = 3dB Path Loss It is the loss of power of an RF signal traveling (propagating) through space. It is expressed in dB.
RF Primer RF Primer Directional Antenna Radiates and receives most of the signal power in one direction. The following diagram shows the radiation pattern of a directional antenna with its side lobes in polar form. Figure 9-3: Radiation Pattern of Directional Antenna Antenna Beamwidth It is a common figure of merit used to define the angle between two half-power (-3 dB) points on either side of the main lobe of radiation.
RF Primer RF Primer Signal Fading Fading is any loss of signal from a wide variety of factors: RF noise, solar flares, variations in the atmosphere, internal noise in the system, all play a role. Multipath The transmitted signal arrives at the receiver from different directions, with different path lengths, attenuation and delays. The summed signal at the receiver may result in an attenuated signal.
RF Primer RF Primer Fresnel Zone Radius R D1 D2 The formula for calculating the radius of the first Fresnel zone, as depicted in Figure 30, is given as: Figure 9-6: Fresnel Zone Radius Calculation Where D1 and D2 are the distances from the terminals to the point of interest (in miles); and ,f is the frequency (in GHz).
