TrangoFOX™ Subscriber Unit User Manual Trango Broadband Wireless Page 6 Getting Started It is recommended to first provision and test the radio on the bench before deploying in the field. This is a particularly useful exercise to the novice user. Connections and Power • Remove the “boot” and Foam Insert from the bottom of the radio. • 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. Note that this cable will carry power over Ethernet (PoE). • If connecting to a COMPUTER, use a Cross-Over Ethernet cable from the NET port of the J-box to the computer’s Ethernet port. If connecting to a HUB, SWITCH, or ROUTER, use a Straight-Thru cable. • Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet. Figure 5.

TrangoFOX™ Subscriber Unit User Manual Trango Broadband Wireless Page 15 Cabling and Grounding Considerations Shielded twisted pair Cat-5 cable is recommended for all installations. It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for STP Cat-5 cables. Strain relief holes are provided on the FOX5800 and FOX5300 mounting bracket for use with cable tie. Create drip loop and strain relief as shown below. Figure 12. Cat-5 Cable Stain Relief CABLE TIE It is advised that the radio be grounded through 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. Figure 13.

TrangoFOX™ Subscriber Unit User Manual Trango Broadband Wireless Page 16 Weather Considerations It is imperative that the radio be COMPLETELY SEALED when in use. Take care to ensure that the boot and foam insert are properly installed on the bottom of the radio. Without proper sealing, moisture may enter the radio and potentially cause damage which will not be covered under warranty. Access to the radio RJ-45 Port and LED status lights are purposely located at the bottom of the radio to minimize the risk of water intrusion. Do not mount the radio upside down. ! Note: The J-Box is not a weatherized device and must be located either indoors or in a weather-protected cabinet. Antenna Alignment The four LED RSSI indicators on the bottom of the radio provide a handy alignment tool. If all four LEDs are lit, the unit is receiving –60 dBm or stronger. If no LEDs are lit, there is not sufficient signal strength to establish a wireless link. LIT LEDs Signal Strength 0 LED -80 dBm 1 LED -75 dBm 2 LED -70 dBm 3 LED -65 dBm 4 LED -60 dBm For more precise RSSI readings utilize the command line interface RSSI tool according to the procedure presented below. SU Antenna Alignment Procedure 1. Ensure AP is in opmode “AP” 2. Telnet into the SU 3. Type command RSSI <channel> <polarization> - Example RSSI 3 V (chan. 3, vertical polarization) 4. Telnet session screen will begin a continuous readout of the received signal strength. 5. As you read the RSSI reading, move the antenna in the horizontal and vertical planes until the maximum RSSI reading is achieved. For short links you can expect an RSSI of –60 dBm or better. For longer links and RSSI of –75 dBm is acceptable. Any RSSI of less than –80 dBm may be too weak for the radios to reliably associate and pass data. 6. If it is not possible to receive an adequate RSSI reading, it may be necessary to reorient the AP (up/down, left/right), to increase the output power of the AP, or to 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.
