![Getting Started Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. F page 10 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. It is the first page shown after login. Configuration Page: The essential parameters, such as Base ID, channel, and polarization, are set here. Advanced Setup Page: The advanced RF parameters, such as Transmit Power, are set here. Site Survey Page: From here, in Opmode “OFF,” the user can conduct a spectrum analysis. Subscriber Database Page: This is the page that defines which SUs can associate with the AP. Link Control Page: With this page you can determine which SUs are connected, and how they are performing. Command Console Page: Runs any console command that is not interactive (i.e. ipconfig). The results are reported back on the HTTP screen. For a complete list of console commands, type "help" in the entry field. Logout Link: This will end the current HTTP session with the radio. Help Page: The Browser Interface features useful Help pages that explain all listed parameters. To access the help pages click on the Help link. For a complete description on the use of the Browser Interface, see Appendix A. Command Line Interface Although most radio functions can be managed using the browser interface, the command line interface (CLI) does provide slightly more functionality. The CLI can be accessed through Telnet (all radios), or via the serial port (excluding FOX radios). Telnet Open a command prompt (DOS) session on your PC. Open a Telnet session by typing: telnet [<ip address of radio>] Example: C:>telnet 192.168.100.100 All Trango radios (APs and SUs) are factory pre-configured with a default IP address of 192.168.100.100. In Telnet you will be greeted with the current hardware and firmware information, and prompted for a password. Type in the password and press enter. The factory default password is trango. To terminate a CLI session (Telnet or Serial) type the command logout. Note: Type help or ? for a listing of all CLI commands. Type help [<command>], for the syntax of a particular command. The majority of the CLI commands will be covered throughout this text as well as in Appendix D -- Command Set Reference. Troubleshooting If you can not telnet into the radio or open an HTTP browser session, check your cable connections to ensure proper use of cross-over vs. straight-through cable, and ensure your PC’s subnet is routable to the radio’s IP address. If you still cannot access the radio’s management interfaces, consult the troubleshooting guide available at http://www.trangobroadband.com/support/appnotes_web.htm.](https://usermanual.wiki/Trango-Systems/M5800SFSUD2/User-Guide-553745-Page-14.png)
![Getting Started Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. F page 11 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. The serial port is useful in the event that the radio cannot be accessed via TCP/IP (HTTP or Telnet). A Terminal Emulation program (such as HyperTerminal on the Windows operating system) can be used to access the radio’s CLI using the radio’s serial port, which is located behind the RJ-11 access cover on the bottom of the radio. A serial programming cable has been provided with each AP for this purpose. The same cable may be used for subscriber units. To terminate a CLI session (Telnet or Serial) type the command logout. Type help or ? for a listing of all CLI commands. Type help [<command>] for the syntax of a particular command. Figure 4-5: Pin-outs for Serial Cable Note: Serial management (via the RJ-11 port) is possible on both APs and SUs regardless of Opmode and switch settings. Figure 4-6: Terminal Settings Note: If you have forgotten your password, follow the following directions: 1. Connect you PC to the radio with the serial cable. 2. Open HyperTerminal. 3. Power cycle the radio. 4. While it is loading, you will be able to see this in HyperTerminal, press enter. 5. Type resetpassword. 6. Type main. This will continue the loader. The password is now trango.](https://usermanual.wiki/Trango-Systems/M5800SFSUD2/User-Guide-553745-Page-15.png)

It is recommended that APs be installed first. The reason for this is that the SU has a built-in RSSI tool that will help you properly aim the SU at the AP to achieve maximum signal strength. Channel Planning For installations involving co-location of AP’s, channel planning is of paramount importance. For maximum AP co-location quantities, it is important to assign frequencies of maximum spacing and alternating polarizations for adjacent APs. Use of the 5.3 spectrum UNII band as well as the 5.8 spectrum ISM band will allow maximum co-location potential. For very dense deployments of multiple APs, it may be necessary to use the optional AP Shielding kit in order to mitigate interference from nearby APs.

Many of the factors will depend on the unique circumstances at each particular site. See http://www.trangobroadband.com/support/appnotes.htm for additional information on channel planning schemes. AP Search and SU Antenna Alignment Once the AP is installed and aligned in the correct general direction, it is time to install the SU. The hardware installation of the SU is similar to the AP, including considerations for line-of-sight, cable distances, cable type, weather sealing, and grounding. In this example of a survey on horizontal polarization run from a FOX series subscriber unit for 30 seconds, the largest amount of interference is detected on channel 6. The asterisks, ****, indicate the highest amounts of interference detected.](https://usermanual.wiki/Trango-Systems/M5800SFSUD2/User-Guide-553745-Page-40.png)
![Deployment Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. F page 37 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. In conjunction with the ssrssi command, it is also useful to perform the apsearch command that will tell you which AP is providing an adequate signal at the location of the SU. AP Search 1. Ensure AP is in Opmode “AP.” 2. Run the apsearch command to verify which AP is providing the strongest signal strength. Example: #> apsearch Ch 1 5736 MHz h peak -96 dBm avg -99 dBm v peak -97 dBm avg -99 dBm Ch 2 5756 MHz h peak -97 dBm avg -99 dBm v peak -97 dBm avg -99 dBm Ch 3 5776 MHz h peak -97 dBm avg -99 dBm v peak -97 dBm avg -99 dBm Ch 4 5796 MHz h peak -97 dBm avg -99 dBm v peak -97 dBm avg -99 dBm Ch 5 5816 MHz h peak -97 dBm avg -99 dBm v peak -97 dBm avg -99 dBm Ch 6 5836 MHz h peak -44 dBm avg -45 dBm B11 A 1 peak -44 dBm avg -45 dBm rx 1545 pkts v peak -58 dBm avg -99 dBm #> ssrssi Command for Antenna Alignment Telnet into the SU (while in Opmode “OFF”) or access the radio via HyperTerminal/serial port. Type the command ssrssi <channel> <polarization>. The telnet session screen will begin a continuous readout of the received signal strength. 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 an RSSI of –75 dBm is acceptable. Any RSSI of less than –80 dBm is likely too weak for the radios to reliably associate and pass data. Examples: #> ssrssi 2 v Press [space] then [enter] to stop AP ? -97 dBm AP ? -97 dBm AP ? -97 dBm #> #> ssrssi 6 v Press [space] then [enter] to stop AP ? -58 dBm AP ? -58 dBm AP ? -58 dBm #> #> ssrssi 6 h ssrssi 2 v — In this example very little energy was detected, although the AP was in Opmode "AP," since the wrong frequency and polarization were used. ssrssi 6 v — In this example the correct channel was used, but the wrong polarization, so a significant amount of energy was detected, the AP cannot be discerned because the SU is looking for energy on a particular frequency and polarization. ssrssi 6 h — Here, the correct channel and polarization show the most energy, and the SU is able to discern the AP ID. In this example, the only significant energy is on channel 6 with horizontal polarization. Further, the Base ID is 11, and the AP ID is 1. There is significant energy on channel 6, polarization vertical. However, this SU is set to horizontal polarization and will ignore that energy.](https://usermanual.wiki/Trango-Systems/M5800SFSUD2/User-Guide-553745-Page-41.png)
![Deployment Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. F page 38 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. SU Alignment Using LEDs The LED RSSI indicators on the bottom of the radio provide a handy alignment tool. If all four LEDs are lit (on FOX Series Subscriber Units), 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 On an M5830 Series Subscriber Unit, the single amber light on the bottom of the SU will also indicate RSSI according to the following parameters: RSSI< -80dBm not lit RSSI > -80dBm blinking (blink rate increases with signal strength) RSSI ≥ -65dBm solid Link Management Commands Once the radios are properly aligned for maximum RSSI, ensure the SU’s default Opmode is “SU” and that all configuration parameters are correct. Reboot the SU. Once the SU enters Opmode “SU,” the authentication process will begin and the two radios will begin to associate. From the AP side there are several basic diagnostics commands, such as su ping, su status, and su testrflink, to ensure that a reliable RF link has been established. It may take one minute or more for the association process to complete. This process may take longer if there are many SUs in that sector. If all tests show favorable results, the wireless link will automatically begin passing Ethernet traffic between the radios. In establishing and diagnosing the quality of the link between the AP and SU(s), there are a few commands that are especially useful. All of these commands are performed at the AP. A summary of these commands follows: su Displays the status of all SUs in the AP’s SUDB. SUs in the SUDB will appear by SU ID, and will be classified into one of the following status categories: Associated, Associating, and OFF. su live Displays a list of SUs that are currently associating with the AP (by SU ID).

![Deployment Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. F page 39 #> su live ----------- Live ----------- 88 --> 1 SU Success. Note: In this and the following examples, the SU ID is 88. su ping <su#> The AP will send 10 RF pings to the designated SU ID. The response from each ping will indicate latency (in micro-seconds) 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. Example: #> su ping 88 [#Begin] [0088] Ping #0 -> 292 us [-43 dB] Ping #1 -> 288 us [-43 dB] Ping #2 -> 286 us [-43 dB] Ping #3 -> 287 us [-43 dB] Ping #4 -> 287 us [-43 dB] Ping #5 -> 287 us [-43 dB] Ping #6 -> 287 us [-43 dB] Ping #7 -> 287 us [-43 dB] Ping #8 -> 290 us [-43 dB] Ping #9 -> 288 us [-43 dB] suid 88: range[avg/min/max 288/286/292 us] max rssi[-43 dBm] distance[0.1 mi] [#End] Success. su status <su #> The AP will poll the SU for that SU’s current status, and will provide information such as SU range from AP, signal strength received at SU from AP, SU temperature, etc...

![Deployment Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. F page 40 linktest <su#> 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. Example: #> linktest 88 [suid] 88 [pkt len] 1600 bytes [# of pkts per cycle] 500 [cycle] 10 0 [AP Tx]500 [AP Rx]500 [AP RxErr]0 [SU Tx]500 [SU Rx]500 [SU RxErr]0 1277ms 10023 kbps 1 [AP Tx]500 [AP Rx]500 [AP RxErr]0 [SU Tx]500 [SU Rx]500 [SU RxErr]0 1278 ms 10015 kbps . . 9 [AP Tx]500 [AP Rx]500 [AP RxErr]0 [SU Tx]500 [SU Rx]500 [SU RxErr]0 1277 ms 10023 kbps [AP Total nTx] 5000 pkts [AP Total nRx] 5000 pkts [AP Total nRxErr] 0 pkts [SU Total nTx] 5000 pkts [SU Total nRx] 5000 pkts [SU Total nRxErr] 0 pkts [AP to SU Error Rate] 0.00 % [SU to AP Error Rate] 0.00 % [Avg of Throughput] 10017 kbps su testrflink <su#> This command also checks the integrity of the wireless link from the standpoint of packet loss. Similar to the linktest command, however this test does not provide as much detail. In this test, the AP will send 20 large packets to the SU, and the SU will in turn send the same 20 packets back to the AP. The expected result of an error free link is 20..20..20, indicating (in the following sequence) 20 packets sent from AP, 20 packets received back at AP, and 20 packets received at SU. Any results other than 20..20..20 indicate lost packets, and are most likely due to interference or an inadequate signal to noise ratio. The “r” is used to repeat the RF link test repeatedly, until the user terminates the test by hitting SPACE ENTER. #> su testrflink 8000 r Press [space] then [enter] to stop [len] 1512 [suid] 8000 [ 0] ...........[AP Tx] 20 [AP Rx] 20 [SU Rx] 20 [ 1] ...........[AP Tx] 20 [AP Rx] 20 [SU Rx] 20 [ 2] ...........[AP Tx] 20 [AP Rx] 20 [SU Rx] 20 [ 3] ...........[AP Tx] 20 [AP Rx] 20 [SU Rx] 20 [ 4] ...........[AP Tx] 20 [AP Rx] 20 [SU Rx] 20 [ 5] ...........[AP Tx] 20 [AP Rx] 20 [SU Rx] 20 Success. #> As another example, a result of 20..10..18 would indicate 20 packets sent from AP, 18 packets received at SU, and 10 packets received back at the AP. For thorough results it is recommended you run the command repeatedly for at least 1 minute or more to determine if packets are passing without error consistently over time.](https://usermanual.wiki/Trango-Systems/M5800SFSUD2/User-Guide-553745-Page-44.png)
![Management Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. F page 41 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. Presented below are a few examples of these commands: su <ping | info | status> <suid> su powerleveling <all | suid> su ipconfig <suid> <new IP> <new subnet> <new gateway> su reboot <all | suid> su restart <all | suid> su testrflink <all | suid> [<r>] su testrflink aptx [<pkt, 20..100>] su sw <suid> <sw #> <on | off> Note: SU commands issued from the AP will automatically update the SU’s flash memory. No save ss command is necessary. As an example, you can change SUs password for a single SU or all the SUs in a sector: su password <all|suid> <pwd> <pwd> Type the following: Example: su password 7 hello hello (to remotely change the password on SU#7 to “hello”) As another example, to change the SUs IP, subnet, and gateway: su ipconfig <suid> <new ip> <new subnet> <new gateway> Type the following: #>su ipconfig 7 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.1 In this example SU ID #7’s IP address is changed to 192.168.10.10, the subnet mask is changed to 255.255.255.0, and the gateway is changed to 192.168.10.1. In addition to the SU commands, a couple of “broadcast” commands are also provided that will broadcast parameters to all associated SUs in a sector. As an example, to broadcast a new channel/scan table to one or all SUs: bcastscant <all | suid> <ch #> <h | v>… #>bcastscant all 5 v 2 h In this example, the AP will transmit a new channel scan table (channel 5 vertical, 2 horizontal) to all associated SUs. This command will broadcast the table every second for 60 minutes. To stop the broadcast sooner, type the command bcastscant stop. A complete description of these commands and many others can be found in Appendix B -- Command Set Summary.](https://usermanual.wiki/Trango-Systems/M5800SFSUD2/User-Guide-553745-Page-45.png)
