Hardware Installation Take the following steps to set up your TR-49. Site Selection: Before installation, determine the TR-49 unit’s location. Proper placement of the unit is critical to ensure optimum radio range and performance. You should perform a Site Survey to determine the optimal location. Ensure the CPE is within line-of-sight of the Access Point. Obstructions may impede performance of the unit.
Connecting the Ethernet Cable Step 1 Place the Ethernet Boot Cover over the end of your Cat 5 cable. Step 2 Attach Ethernet Cable Lock on side of the Ethernet Boot. This is easiest to do before you attach the RJ-45 Jack. Step 3 Tighten using a ¾” wrench or socket. Tighten until the Cable Lock touches the Boot as shown in Step 3.
Step 4 Repeat steps 2 & 3 to attach the second Ethernet Cable Lock if you purchased the optional dual port boot. Step 5 Place Sealing Gasket over screws. Step 6 Remove gasket backing and place boot cover on radio. This will ensure that you attach the sticky side of the gasket to the underside of the Ethernet Boot. Make sure the Gasket is free of gaps. Step 7 Insert the Cat 5 Cable and tighten the Boot Cover. Be sure to pull enough cable through to reach the RJ-45 connector with an RJ-45 jack attached.
Step 8 Place the Ethernet boot over the 4 Screw Posts. Apply 4 Kept nuts to the screw posts and tighten until the gasket makes full contact with the Ethernet boot. The gasket should be at least 50% compressed. Optional dual port boot specific note. If you are not going to be using the second port make sure that it is tightened down to ensure a weather-tight seal. Attaching the Mounting Bracket As shown below, the U-Bolt is designed to mount around a pole.
Connect the Power Cable Connect the power adapter to the power socket on the Power over Ethernet Adaptor (POE), and plug the other end of the power into an electrical outlet. Plug the RJ-45 Cable from the unit into the POE. The Station Adaptor will be powered on and the power indicator on the top panel will turn on. NOTE: ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the Access Point. Otherwise, the product may be damaged. This unit must be grounded.
HTML Interface NOTE: The default IP address is 192.168.1.100 The default User Name is admin The default Password is default Passwords When you first enter the Web Interface, you will be required to enter a new recovery password. This password is intended to allow the ISP to change the password of the device if they forget it. This password must be different than the operator password. Neither password can be left at default. These passwords must be changed to access the device.
Wireless Settings SSID The SSID is a unique ID given to an Access Point. Wireless clients associating to the Access Point must have the same SSID. The SSID can have up to 32 characters. Visibility Status Makes the AP visible or invisible to clients. Channel Sets the channel that the AP and clients will use TX Rate The rate at which the radio will communicate with the clients.
Administrative Settings Image File Name Enter the location of the Firmware update file, or use Browse to locate the file in your PC, and then press “Upgrade Software” Defaults Returns all settings to factory defaults. Device Name The network name of the device. User Name The access user name. Password/Confirm Password Enter the password for accessing the device Ext. Info Enabled Enable extended information. Extended information is only displayed with Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Access Points.
WDS WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is a modification to the 802.11 spec that allows AP to communicate directly with each other. WDS allows users to spread out coverage to a larger area without the need for a backhaul link. The tradeoff is that overall throughput is greatly affected for all users of the AP’s linked. WDS is not recommended for use with large numbers of clients, or in cases where throughput needs to be maximized.
Security Settings—Basic Enabled Turn On WEP Authentication Select Open or Shared Key Authentication Key Length Level of Encryption.

Access Control Enable Access Control Select this box to enable access control. Associated Wireless Devices Click any devices to disassociate them Wireless Devices Available Click any wireless device that should be associated with the AP Associate With This Station Manually Enter the MAC address of a client and then click “add” to associate with it. Changes to Access Control NOTE: If you are working via a radio link, the first MAC you should add is the address of the station you are connecting from.
Stations List (AP Mode Only) This page displays a list of the stations associated with the AP and their connection statistics. The first column is simply the order in which the stations are stored in the Station Table. The second column is the name field. If the device is a Tranzeo 49, and it has the Extended Info option turned on in the Administrative Settings Window, then the device name will appear here. Otherwise, the field will be blank.
ARP Table This feature was added as a troubleshooting screen. It shows the devices which have sent either a broadcast or directly tried to communicate with the device. Under normal circumstances, there should be a limited number of entries in this table, especially if you have interstation blocking turned on at the AP.
Network Configuration – Bridge Mode This page allows you to control the network configuration of the device. You can choose Static or DHCP Client IP configuration for the device. Note: If you select DHCP, and a DHCP server is not present, the device will try to get an IP for up to 5 minutes. At the end on 5 minutes, it will fall back to a static IP. You can then locate it using the Locator Program and change it back to static. You can also set the Ethernet Speed on this page.
DHCP Server Configuration Subnet Mask Subnet mask for the DHCP pool. Address Range Starting Address Number of Addresses Gateway The starting address of the DHCP pool. The addresses are sequential starting with the Starting Address. The number of addresses you want to have in the DHCP pool Select This Unit to use the gateway set on the WAN interface of the radio or select Other to set a different gateway address. DNS WAN-Assigned Select to use the DNS server addresses as assigned on the WAN side.
Static Routing Setup Screen Routing is an incredibility complex topic that is way beyond the scope of a QuickStart or Manual. This screen is intended for those users who have a strong understanding of IP Routing. Misconfiguration on this screen could result in serious network problems or even the loss of functionality. Menu Options Static Routes—Adds a new route to the IP routing table. System Routes—This section shows the current routing table entries.
QOS Menu Options Uplink Speed ( Mbps) Sets the maximum total pipe size for this client. The order and traffic size is determined based on this value. Dynamic Fragmentation Reduce delay for high-priority traffic and adaptive fragmentation where the fragmentation is determined by the uplink speed. This feature greatly improves the gaming and VOIP experience. Automatic Classification In vast majority of cases, this is all you need to select for best results.
Cloning MAC This is a new feature. It allows the CPE the clone the MAC of the device behind it. This feature can be useful when dealing wth some PPPoE and Radius Implimentations. When the device is in Cloning MAC mode, it can only be managed from the LAN side of the device. Port Management 80 80 192.168.1.2 Port Forwarding This is a new feature. It allows the radio to forward requests for certain ports to devices behind the router.
Port Filtering This is a new feature. It allows the radio to block requests for certain IP’s or ports to and from devices behind the router. For example, if a customer wishes to block access to FTP from this network to the outside world, you would 1. Click Add 2. Select Deny 3. Select Source IP Range. Assuming that the clients are on 192.168.1.0/24, then the source IP would be 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 4. Select Desintination IP Range. Assuming that the entire outside world was to be blocked, then 0.0.0.
System Performance (CPE and PxP Modes only) Select Refresh Rate Each radio button represents a Refresh Rate. Many browsers do not allow infinite refreshes of a page through scripts, so this page may stop updating. If it does, simply change the Refresh rate to another value to restart the process. Associated Access Point Information about the access point is displayed here.
Statistics The Statistics Screen is divided into 3 main areas, UMAC*, LMAC* and Ethernet. For Radio Troubleshooting, the UMAC statistics are likely the most useful. The UMAC breaks down the statistics into Good and Bad Packets, whereas LMAC defines why the packets are bad. The statistics are further divided into TX, RX and INT. TX and RX values are useful to ISPs and other users. The INT (Internal) stats are intended for use by Tranzeo Wireless Technical Support.
The failed packets should be 1% or less in a normal operating environment. In the TX statistics, there should little to no Retransmits at Series 2, 3 or 4. Life Statistics are reset on each reboot. In the Ethernet Statistics screen, excessive collisions are usually a sign that the radio and the device it is linked to are not on the same Duplex options. One is at full while the other is at half. Try locking both to the same values.
APPENDIX A: Lightning Information What is a proper Ground? This antenna must be grounded to a proper Earth Ground.
Ungrounded Radio An ungrounded radio causes the surge to pass through the radio. In this case the radio most likely will be damaged. Antenna Radio POE Ground Grounded Radio A grounded radio causes the surge to pass directly to ground, bypassing the radio.
Mounting Pole In this case, the surge will be picked up by the Cat 5 cable, and since the POE is not grounded, the route for the surge is through the radio to the antenna, and out through the building. POE Cat 5 Cable . Mounting Pole In this case, the surge will be picked up by the Cat 5 cable, and since the POE is grounded, the route for the surge is through the POE to ground.
Best Practices 1) Always try to run the Cat5 and LMR inside of the mounting pole wherever possible. This helps to insulate the cable from any air surges. Building Cat 5 Cable 2) Keep all runs as straight as possible. Never put a loop into the cables. 3) Test all grounds to ensure that you are using a proper Ground. If using a electrical socket for Ground, use a socket tester, such as Radio Shack 22-141 4) Buy a copy of the National Electrical Code Guide and follow it.
APPENDIX B: QoS QoS Tranzeo Wireless Technologies’ software takes full advantage of technology to ensure a consistently high quality on-line experience through the use of powerful Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms. The key to making this applicable in a WISP environment is the Intelligent Stream Handling, a patent-pending algorithm which autonomously manages the flow of traffic going to the Internet, without the need for user configuration.
High Priority Rate Matching QOS Block Diagram 1/13/2006 Internet *Mean Opinion Score (MOS) High Priority A process called "rate matching" determines the bandwidth of the broadband uplink automatically so that it can shape the traffic to smooth the flow between the router and the Internet. This eliminates the potential bottlenecks and delays that can be caused by "bursty" data traffic.
