Introduction Section 2 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.
Hardware Overview data “upstream” to the AP when the AP gives it authorization via a “transmit grant.” The SU parses every “downstream” data packet from the AP, and identifies packets intended for it. In order for an SU to communicate with an AP, the system administrator must first add the MAC address and ID number of that SU to the subscriber database in the AP. The SmartPolling™ algorithm will poll active SUs more often, thus not wasting time and bandwidth on inactive SUs.

Getting Started Section 4 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 To fully understand radio management for the Access5830 system, it is important to be familiar with the concept of operation mode or “Opmode.” APs can be in one of two Opmodes: Opmode “OFF” or Opmode “AP.” When in Opmode “OFF,” the radio is not transmitting, and is not attempting to associate with the SUs. Alternatively, when in Opmode “AP,” the radio is transmitting, and is attempting to associate with the SUs. Similarly, SUs have two Opmodes: Opmode “SU” and Opmode “OFF.
Getting Started In order to use the browser interface, simply connect the radio to a PC and type the radio’s IP address into the web browser. This will bring up the Login page. Note: Only one user can have an HTTP session with a given radio at a time. The log out timer is set to five minutes. Note: Most pages are similar for Access Points and Subscriber Units. When there are significant differences, both are included in this text. With each page there is a brief description of the major features.
Getting Started 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. On the bottom of the Navigation Column is the Current Status of the radio, including its Base ID, AP ID, and current Opmode. In addition, there are the following links: System Information Page: Shows most of the basic configuration parameters of the radio.
Getting Started Reset Button on FOX Series Radios FOX Series radios feature a reset button that can be pressed with a small object such as a paper clip. Pressing the reset button will reset the radio’s IP address to factory default of 192.168.100.100, and password trango. The reset button can be useful if you forget or are unsure of the radio’s IP address/password. Serial Port on M5830 Series Radios M5830 Access Points and Subscriber Units feature a serial port.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface Section 5 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 ! 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 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. This parameter can only be changed while in Opmode "OFF.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface 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. Click Save and Activate Settings. 7.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface 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. (Must match the AP.) 3. Set the SU ID.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface 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 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 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 both UNII and ISM bands on this screen. FOX Series radios only include either the ISM or UNII band. RF TX Power: Sets the conducted RF power output from the radio.
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface that the radio will not process signals received below this level, so it is very useful for mitigating interference. The disadvantage of increasing the receiver threshold is a corresponding reduction in range due to reduced receiver sensitivity. For a smaller radius of operation use a higher threshold (-65 is higher than -70).
Basic Configuration via Browser Interface TFTPD: Current status of TFTP daemon. Used for uploading firmware. MIR Threshold: Enable/Disable the Maximum Information Rate (MIR) Threshold. The MIR Threshold is the aggregate throughput on the AP at which the AP will start to enforce CIR rules for SUs. Active Channel: The channel currently being used by the radio. RFRX Threshold: Sets the receive threshold of the AP.
Basic Configuration via CLI Section 6 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.
Basic Configuration via CLI AP Parameter AP SYSTEM INFORMATION PARAMETERS AND RELATED COMMANDS Description Related CLI Command AP ID Opmode Default Opmode Opmode Start IP Subnet Gateway information, along with active channel, and SUDB information for the establishment of a link. Informational parameter used to provide a unique number for each AP. Useful for AP sector planning. Please note that AP ID is not used by the system for SU authentication. Current Opmode of radio.
Basic Configuration via CLI AP Parameter AP SYSTEM INFORMATION PARAMETERS AND RELATED COMMANDS Description Related CLI Command MIR Threshold Kbps Active Channel RF RX Threshold RF TX Power User specified MIR Threshold to determine total throughput level at which the AP serves only CIR (committed information rate) to associated SUs. When MIR Threshold is disabled, the AP will serve MIR for all its SUs.
Basic Configuration via CLI Subscriber Unit Basic Settings Log into the SU. To receive a comprehensive snapshot of the system’s configuration info and status, type the command sysinfo. #> sysinfo [Hardware Version] 0004 [FPGA Version] 03110601 [Checksum] 1D28DCC4 [Firmware Version] FSU 1p01H0004D03100101 [Checksum] 191D17BC [Device ID] 00 01 DE 12 4F DF [Base ID] 11 [AP ID] 1 [SU ID] 44 [System Up Time] 0 day(s) 00:04:20 [Radio Temperature] 35 [Opmode] su [Default Opmode] su [Opmode Start] 30 sec [IP] 10.
Basic Configuration via CLI SU Parameter SU SYSTEM INFORMATION PARAMETERS AND RELATED COMMANDS Description Related CLI Command Opmode Start IP Subnet Gateway radio will progress into Opmode “SU” automatically after reboot/power cycle. Determines the amount of time the radio will remain in Opmode “OFF” after reboot before progressing to the default Opmode. IP, Subnet, and Gateway address of radio.
Basic Configuration via CLI Subscriber Unit Database (SUDB) Settings Once you are familiar with the AP’s basic system information, you are ready to add one or more SUs to the SUDB. There are three basic commands related to the SUDB: sudb add, sudb view, and save sudb. To add an SU to the database, you will need to know the following information: 1. SU ID (user defined – a unique integer that identifies the SU within this AP’s SUDB) 2. MAC ID of SU (printed on the back of the SU) 3.

Please note that if the radio is attached to a metal pole that is earthgrounded, no other grounding is necessary.
Mounting Hardware CABLE TI E 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. Twist together the individual drain wires and connect the other end to a known ground.
Mounting Hardware 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 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 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 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 #> 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 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. If heavy packet loss occurs it may be caused by interference or multi-path.
Management Section 9 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. In fact, most system management functions for the SU can be performed by issuing commands from the AP.
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 Obj ects 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 5. 6. Copy trango.ico file to C:\Program Files\SNMPc Network Manager\bitmaps. The MIB needs to be compiled into the SNMPc database. By default, the Read Community is set to “public” and the Write Community is set to “private” in the AP. The Trap Community is “SNMP_trap.” The manager needs to have the same settings in order to communicate with the AP successfully.
Management Appendix A HTTP Browser Interface Below are screen shots of most of the browser pages that manage the Access5830 system. The pages originate from the radio itself, so no additional software is needed on the managing PC other than a web browser. A Web Browser on a computer with an Ethernet connection to the radio and the IP address of the radio are all that are required. No more than one user can have an HTTP session with a given radio at one time. The log out timer is set to five minutes.
Management Hardware Version: Hardware version is factory-set and cannot be changed by user. FPGA Version: Low-level firmware currently loaded on the radio. Firmware Version: Primary firmware. Normally this is the only firmware that needs to be upgraded. The version part of the string is 1p11, the hardware is H8002, and the rest is a date code. Device ID: MAC address of the radio. Base ID: Specifies the cell or cluster to which the AP belongs.
Management Broadcast Packet: This software switch (0) enables/disables the blocking of Ethernet control packets, except ICMP and ARP, to reduce the amount of unnecessary overhead introduced to the wireless link. SU to SU Communication: Allows SUs with the same group # to communicate directly with each other through the AP. SUs using SU to SU communication must be on the same subnet! Remarks: User definable radio information (i.e. customer name, address of installation, and so on).
Management Broadcast time stamp to SU: Sends a copy of the real time clock to the SU every 60 seconds. May be used for tracking statistics when using SNMP. Active Channel/Polarization: The current channel and antenna polarization being used in the sector when Opmode is "AP." SUs in this sector must have these values loaded in their AP Scan sequence. Remarks: A text field available for system administrator’s general use. Does not affect system performance.
Management Switches: Checked means active. Block Broadcast and multicast packets: Block these types of Ethernet packets when active. ARP and DHCP packets will be passed regardless of this setting. Auto Scan AP: Will scan all channels and polarization in search of an AP. TCP/IP Service for AP: Allows TCP/IP access into the SU via the RF link when the SU is in Opmode "SU." TCP/IP Service for Ethernet port (Opmode “SU”): Allows TCP/IP access into the SU via the Ethernet port when the SU is in Opmode "SU.
Management AP Advanced Setup Page Note: The Advanced Setup page is divided into three sections: ISM, U-NII, and Channel Table. There is a different range for parameters in ISM and U-NII bands. Remember to Save and Activate Settings. RF TX Power: Sets the conducted RF power output of the radio. This does not include antenna gain. A higher number is more powerful. RF RX Threshold: Sets the receive threshold of the AP.
Management AP Subscriber Database Page Current Subscriber(s): This table contains the database for the only SUs that can link to this AP. It displays one SU per row. This table is empty by default. Descriptions of the individual parameters are below: SU ID: An integer that uniquely identifies the SU within this AP’s SUDB (1~8190). Type: Is a polling priority; it is either PRIORITY or REGULAR. Note: SUs designated as PRIORITY will get polled more often by the AP.
Management Modify and Save: Modify an existing SU entry. Delete and Save: Is performed by typing the SU ID of the unit you want to delete and clicking the button. MIR Threshold: User specified MIR Threshold to determine total throughput level at which AP serves only CIR (committed information rate) to associated SUs. When MIR Threshold is disabled, the AP will attempt to serve MIR for all its SUs.
Management Link Control Page SU Association Status: Shows SU ID numbers and status of SUs. Power Off is equivalent to Not Associated. RF Link Loopback Test: This is the builtin performance test. Specify a SU ID and time in minutes to conduct the test. The test is prioritized, so it will take precedence over all other traffic. 1600 byte packets are sent and received between the SU and AP at 50 millisecond intervals over the time specified. The success rate and number of bytes is reported.

Management Appendix D 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.
Management 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.
Management 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.
Management 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.
Glossary 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).
