Introduction Thank you for purchasing the StrataPro 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 all outdoor radio model SP24 radios.
Radio Unit Overview Below is a picture showing the main interfaces of the SP24 after removing the port cover (loosen the two captive thumbscrews) User Interfaces P1 (RJ45) – Port 1 Ethernet Interface for Traffic and Management (Default). Autonegotiate 100/1000 BaseT. This port also supports PoE operation using the POEGIGE-56 Power Injector. This is the default traffic and management port. P2 (SFP) - Port 2 Ethernet Interface for Traffic and Management.
BNC – Output of DC voltage proportional to the RSSI level. The chart below gives the voltage vs RSL. BNC Connector w/Cap The BNC Voltage = 0.1 +0.04 x (90+RSL) Volts, where RSL = -90 to -20 dBm RSL(dBm) -90 -85 -80 -75 -70 -65 -60 -55 -50 -45 -40 -35 -30 -25 -20 BNC Voltage (V) 0.10 0.30 0.50 0.70 0.90 1.10 1.30 1.50 1.70 1.90 2.10 2.30 2.50 2.70 2.
Link LED – Green LED is solid on when linked with the far end unit, and Flashing when not linked. LED will be solid at system power up for up to 2 minutes.
Radio Management There are three ways to manage the StrataPro System: 1) In-Band Management (IBM) without a VLAN using the management port (default P1). Only traffic coming into the radio from management port or the RF with the Radio MAC address will be forwarded to the CPU and all other traffic will be forwarded to over the link. This is the default configuration. 2) In- Band Management (IBM) with a VLAN using the management port (default P1). .
WEB BROWSER SETUP The best performance is obtained using Google Chrome as the browser. When using the web in config mode, changes can be entered and changed on the link by pressing the “Apply Changes” button. The changes will take effect immediately but will not be saved to FLASH memory. If a reboot is performed, the last saved configuration of the system will be reloaded. To permanently save the changes after verifying the changes, press the “Save Changes” button.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS TOOLS - Flat head Screwdriver for port cover attachment 13 mm or ½” Socket wrench for standard mount assembly 8 mm or 5/16” Socket wrench for attaching radio to mount and ground lug. Multimeter with CABLDAT-RSSI for antenna alignment PATH - Line of sight (LOS) with no obstructions in the Fresnel Zone MOUNTING STRUCTURE - Building or 1.5 to 3 inch diameter pole with < 1.5 degrees vertical or horizontal movement under windload.
3) Connect the PC Ethernet to the PoE injector Data In port and verify the Ethernet link comes up. 4) Log into either Radio unit using a browser using the default IP addresses of 192.168.100.100/192.168.100.101 with the following credentials: user: admin password: trango Log In Page 5) Navigate to the Link Info page as shown below. The Link Info page shown below displays the current radio IP settings and RF settings for the link. If the link is locked then the remote side information will be shown.
6) Log into the Config Mode with the following credentials: user: config password: trango 7) After entering config mode select Link> Management to go to the IP settings page. Trango Systems, Inc.
8) If the RF link is locked, both the local and remote radio IP settings can be changed from the same page at the same time. Click the Remote Config Mode button to “ON”, then click Apply Changes button. Navigate to the Management Page. The Remote IP should now be modifiable. Set both the local and remote IP settings as desired and click Apply Changes button again. If the link is not locked then each radio IP can be set individually via a separate browser session. Trango Systems, Inc.
FIELD INSTALLATION: 1) Install the pole mount to the back of the StrataPro Unit using the 4 #10-32 Bolts/lockwashers and install on pole as shown below. Install the radio to the mount first. 2) Attach the StrataPro 24 Unit + Mount to the mounting pole (3 inch diam typical) with “R” indicator at the 12 O’Clock position - Adjust the mounting bolts to ensure that the bubble level is centered.
4) Install the ground wire to earth ground on the pole or building structure. Use a minimum 10 AWG grounding cable with #10 Spade Lug, maximum length 1 m/3 feet 5) Run the Ethernet/PoE Cable through the port cover/cord grip as shown below then connect to the radio Port 1 (Built In RJ45). 6) Power up the radio by first plugging the cable into the PoE Unit, then plugging the PoE unit into the AC power source. Connect the Data Port of the PoE on one radio to a laptop computer or switch.
10) Install the port covers and tighten the thumbscrews and cord grip. The cord grip should be oriented towards the ground as shown. . 11) Start passing Traffic on any port. NOTE: All ports are mapped by default to the same port on the other side of the link, and traffic is isolated between ports on the same radio. Trango Systems, Inc.
Power Supply Trango can provide power supplies for rack mount and desktop applications. Contact your sales representative for more options on available power supplies. The power supply should be kept in a weatherproof, temperature controlled environment within the operating temp of 0 to 40 deg C. Direct Power Option The StrataPro24 can be direct powered using a +48 Volt DC source with a terminal block connection at the unit. No smaller than AWG18 wiring is recommended.
Features The StrataPro 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 QAM4096 modulation in a 120 MHz channel, the link can support capacities up to 1100 Mbps full duplex for large packets per carrier.

operation of each link on a non overlapping frequency pair may be advised. The StrataPro 24 allows custom TX and RX center frequency to help with co-location. The system can support user selectable channel sizes of 10, 30, 60, 75, 100, or 120 MHz.
Web Browser: Remote access via in band and out of band methods with view/configuration level access (single user + password). The StrataPro24 is compatible with any standard web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer. Chrome is the recommended browser.
SNMP – Remote control and monitoring via in-band and out-of band methods using any third party Network Management Software (NMS). Standard MIB II System Level and Enterprise MIB Blocks are supported with monitoring for all major link health and traffic related metrics. Firmware Update Remote update of the system firmware is available via FTP or by pulling the image from the PC desktop using the Web GUI.
