Introduction Thank you for purchasing the StrataLink 24 unlicensed point to point microwave system. This guide is designed to assist with basic installation and configuration of the system. For advanced settings, refer to the User Manual and application notes. System Components The basic link consists of the following items: 2 each SL‐24 Radio 2 each Dish Antenna 2 each PoE 2 each Power Supply Additional items may be needed depending on the link configuration.
Radio Unit Overview Below is a picture showing the main interfaces of the SL‐24 after removing the port cover (loosen the two captive screws) Link LED Interface Panel GigE Data (RJ45) ‐ Interface for Traffic and Management. Autonegotiate 10/100/1000 BaseT. This port also supports PoE operation using the PoE‐Gige‐48 Power injector. This is the default traffic and management port GigE Data (SFP) ‐ Interface for Traffic and Management. Autonegotiate 10/100/1000 BaseT.
a. The IP address will be reset to default to allow access in the event of a forgotten password or IP address. b. The CLI management passwords will be reset to default c. The Web interface passwords will be reset to default. d. The SNMP read/write/trap community strings will be set to defaults. e. The CLI prompt will be reset. 2) Hold for more than 6 seconds: The unit will reset the system configuration to the factory default, but NOT reset the items in (1) above. The unit WILL REBOOT automatically.
Radio Management There are three ways to manage the StrataLink System: 1) In‐band management without a VLAN using RJ45 or SFP. Only traffic coming into the radio from RJ45 or SFP or the RF with the Radio MAC address will be forwarded to the CPU. This is the default configuration. 2) In‐ band management with a VLAN using RJ45 or SFP. Only traffic coming into the radio from RJ45 or SFP or the RF with a matching VLAN ID and the Radio MAC address will be forwarded to the CPU.
When purchased as a link, one radio will be programmed with the IP address 192.168.100.100 and the other will be 192.168.100.101 to avoid conflicts when the radios are turned on and link. After logging into the config level and selecting the Link Setup Page, the IP address, Netmask, and Gateway should be changed as appropriate. Press the “Save Changes” button to the left to save the IP address.
The Link Setup – Ports Page shows the current configuration for the RJ45, SFP, and PLA ports. The defaults are set for autonegotiate. The SFP ports only support Gigabit operation and require an SFP module (copper or fiber) available from Trango. Link setup – Ports page Trango Systems, Inc.
The Link Setup QoS page displays the current settings for the QoS. Changes can be made to reflect the prioritization of user traffic across the link, or to change the QoS Mode from strict to Weighted Round Robin (WRR). Default values are shown below. Link setup‐ QoS Page Trango Systems, Inc.
Installation The StrataLink 24 comes preconfigured to link up as soon as power is applied. To install and operate the StrataLink follow these steps: BENCH: 1) Apply power using the PoE or with direct power (‐48VDC) 2) Log into each unit using a browser or telnet with the default IP addresses of 192.168.100.100/192.168.100.101 with the following user/passwords a. View node user: admin password: trango b.
FIELD: 1) Install the antennas onto the mounting pole at each end of the link and visually align them toward each other. 2) Latch one StrataLink 24 unit to the back of the antenna with “V” indicator at the top ‐ This unit will be transmitting Vertical Polarization and receiving Horizontal Polarization. 3) Latch the other StrataLink 24 unit to the far end antenna with the “H” indicator at the top – This unit will be transmitting Horizontal Polarization and receiving Vertical Polarization.
4) 5) 6) 7) Power up the radios using PoE or with direct power (‐48VDC) Align the radios using the BNC RSSI output to obtain the expected RSL. Link LED should light up solid green on both ends. Start passing Data! Antenna Connection The StrataLink24 utilizes a slip fit connection that makes installation simple. The unit is designed to mount to a Trango circular waveguide antenna which may be 1, 2, or 3 foot diameter. Power Supply Trango can provide power supplies for rack mount and desktop applications.
Features The StrataLink 24 basic features are briefly described here. For more information on advanced features and a full command line interface listing, please reference the individual Application Notes and Full User Manual available online at www.trangosys.com. Traffic Capacity With QAM1024 modulation in a 60 MHz channel, the link can support capacities up to 750 Mbps full duplex or 1.5 Gbps Mbps aggregate, including the Multilayer Header compression.
Custom channel size and T/R spacing The 24 GHz unlicensed spectrum is typically very clear due to the narrow antenna beamwidths required. However, if collocated systems on the same path are required, operation of each link on a non overlapping frequency pair may be advised. The StrataLink 24 allows custom TX and RX center frequency to help with co‐location. The system can support user selectable channel sizes of 10, 14, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, or 60 MHz.
Allows entering/saving the GPS Coordinates manually to assist in plotting the endpoints of each link on third party management software link SNMP managers and Google Earth/Maps. The coordinates must be entered by the user manually. Site Survey (Spectrum Analyzer Function) This feature allows the user to check the spectrum utilization for the entire 24.05 to 24.25 GHz band. The result displays the peak and average power over a time interval using the 10 MHz bandwidth.
