Overview Trango Broadband Wireless — Atlas-45 page 1 Chapter 1 Overview The ATLAS5010 is a point-to-point (PtP) wireless Ethernet transmission system which provides network connectivity at speeds up to 45 Mbps depending on the transmission distance and noise floor. The Atlas5010 utilizes OFDM technology and is designed for use in long range backhaul and wide area data networking applications. Users are required to simply specify one P5010M (INT or EXT) unit type as master unit (MU) and one unit as remote unit (RU). Each unit utilizes Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and is designed for outdoor environments. The cable entry point can accommodate both Shielded twisted pair Cat5 (STP) and unshielded twisted pair Cat5 (UTP), with the addition of conduit for tower mounting. OFDM The Atlas platform utilizes Orthogonal Frequency Division Duplex (OFDM) processing which offers link stability and performance in the presence of multipath interference. Adaptive Modulation One of the key advantages of the Atlas series radio platform is utilization of multiple modulation schemes including the following: • Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) • Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) • 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16QAM) • 64 Quadrature Amplitude Modulatin (64QAM) The Atlas system allows individual selection of the upstream and downstream modulation schemes. The modulation schemes can be adjusted manually or automatically (automatic rate shifting) for changing propagation and interference conditions. The higher order modulation schemes (64QAM) are typically deployed at reduced ranges while lower order modulation schemes (BPSK) are implemented at long distances. ARQ Another key advantage of the Atlas platform is its Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) transmission correction scheme. The ARQ algorithm detects packet loss due to fading and interference conditions and requests the remote radio to re-transmit specific packets. Dual Polarity Antenna Atlas radios feature built-in dual polarity antenna functionality. Users may select either horizontal or vertical antenna polarity through the unit’s software. Switchable antenna polarity provides greater spectral flexibility.
Overview Trango Broadband Wireless — Atlas-45 page 2 Range vs. Throughput The following table shows approximate maximum ranges (at recommended fade margins) achievable with the ATLAS5010 system using various antenna configurations. Longer ranges are achievable, but will result in lower fade margins.

Getting Started Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 5 Chapter 2 Getting Started It is always a good idea to first provision and test the radios on the bench before deploying them in the field. This is a particularly useful exercise for the novice user. Connections and Power • 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.

For management purposes it is recommended to install the MU closest to the head-end of the network.
Configuration Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 11 Remote Unit (RU) The RU is typically installed at the remote end of the link. The primary distinction between the MU and RU is that when the radios are not associated, the MU will transmit and the RU will listen until the wireless link is established. Peer ID Authentication is controlled by the MAC address of each radio. The Peer ID is defined as the MAC address of the opposite radio. In other words, the Peer ID of the MU is the RU’s MAC address and the Peer ID of the RU is the MU’s MAC address. Opmode The radio has two modes of operation: 1) Opmode OFF – The radio is in a state which will not allow the establishment of a link with another radio. This state is mainly used for administration and pre-installation site survey 2) Opmode ON – The radio is in a state which allows it to establish a link to another radio if the proper settings are made. This is the normal “in service” state of the radio. Default Opmode Opmode (on or off) which the radio enters after reboot. Note: if you telnet into a radio within 30 seconds after reboot, the radio will remain in opmode OFF even if the default opmode is ON. Essentials to Establish a Wireless Link Configuration of the Atlas system is simple and at a minimum requires the following settings: 1. Designate one radio’s unit type (utype) as the Master Unit (MU) and one unit as the Remote Unit (RU). 2. Program Peer ID in each radio. 3. Set MU and RU to same channel and antenna polarization 4. Set default Opmode to “ON” so that radio will automatically enter opmode after reboot. 5. Turn radios Opmode “ON”. If all of these parameters are met, and if the MU and RU are within range and properly aligned, the wireless link will automatically establish itself and Ethernet traffic will begin to pass between the radios. Master Unit Configuration Start a telnet session with one of the radios. Follow these steps for configuration. 1. Set the Unit Type (utype) to MU in one radio. (default for all radios is RU) #> utype mu Success. #> 2. Set the Peer ID with the MAC address of the RU. Only use the last 8 digits of the MAC address. #> peerid de1B7850 Success. #> 3. Set channel and polarization. (in this example set the channel to 23 and polarization to H). #> freq 23 h Ch# 2 h (5280 MHz) Success. 4. Set default Opmode to ON.
Configuration Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 12 #> defaultopmode on Success. 5. Turn Opmode ON. #> opmode on Success. . Remote Unit Configuration Configure the RU in the same manner as the MU. Since the default unit type (utype) is RU, you do not need to set this parameter. 1. Set the Peer ID with the MAC address of the MU. Only use the last 8 digits of the MAC address. #> peerid de1B7842 Success. #> 2. Set channel and polarization. (in this example set the channel to 23 and polarization to H). #> freq 23 h Ch# 2 h (5280 MHz) Success. 3. Set default Opmode to “ON.” #> defaultopmode on Success. 4. Turn Opmode “ON.” #> opmode on Success. Establishing a Wireless Link If the MU and RU are properly configured and in opmode “ON”, the two radios will automatically begin the authentication process and become connected. To determine if the two radios are connected, type the sysinfo 2 command. Example: #> sysinfo 2 ********************************* 2 ********************************* [Opmode] on [Default Opmode] on [Active Channel] 2 h [Freq] 5280 MHz [Speed] 36 Mbps [Tx Power] 7 dBm [Power Range] -4..7 dBm [Peer ID] DE1B784B [Status] connected [RSSI] -75 dBm [Peer IP Config] 10.254.1.3 255.255.255.248 10.254.1.1 Success. #> The [status] field indicates whether the MU and RU are connected or disconnected. If connected, the MU and RU will automatically start passing Ethernet traffic over the wireless link. Changing IP Address Use the ipconfig command to change the radio’s ip address, subnet mask and gateway.
Configuration Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 13 Syntax: ipconfig [<ip> <subnet> <gateway>] Example: #> ipconfig 10.8.2.140 255.255.255.240 10.8.2.129 New configuration: [ip] 10.8.2.140 [subnet mask] 255.255.255.240 [gateway] 10.8.2.129 save and activate ? (y/n) [ATTN] Telnet session will be terminated in 30 seconds. Success. #> LEDs LEDs are visible on the unit’s PCB between the reset button and the RJ-45 connector. The function of each LED is described below: LNK (green) Green: On solid for an established 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet Link. SPEED Green: Solid if 100BaseT, Blinks only if there is activity (TX or RX) on the network when a 100 MBit connection is established. Off if a 10BaseT connection is established or if there is 10BaseT activity. RSSI (4 LEDs) Amber: Four LEDs In all modes except “Survey”, the unit’s four yellow LEDs indicate the level of RF signal being received from a VALID MU or RU as appropriate.

Yellow LED 4 : Begins blinking when RSSI is greater or equal to –60 dBm. On continuously at –55 dBm. This is the rightmost LED. If no VALID MU or RU signal is detected the LEDs will not be on at all. In addition, these 4 LEDs shall flash ON for 2 seconds, then OFF for 2 seconds to indicate the 'factory reset' button has been activated and the reset successful. ASSOCiation LED (green): The ASSOC led blinks at the following rates: - Once every second when unit is powered on but opmode is OFF. - Twice per second while in opmode ON and scanning for an MU or RU. - Solid after unit is associated with the RU or MU.
Configuration Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 14 RF Link Loopback Test (linktest command) The linktest command is the primary tool to assess the quality of the link when opmode is on. The linktest command tests the throughput and packet error rate (PER) on the current channel for each direction at all speeds and reports results. This command also provides RSSI for both ends of the wireless link. The command can be run from either the MU or the RU. . The linktest uses FEC but does NOT use ARQ, so all errors on the link are reported. Throughput numbers represent the absolute maximum bi-directional capacity including the management header (which is not available for user payload) so actual user throughput measurements will be slightly less. In running the linktest command the user must specify the modulation speed for each end of the link. Command format: linktest <loc speed> <peer speed> Valid modulation speeds are: 6,12,18,24,36,48, and 54 Mbps. Lower speeds will result in fewer dropped packets. Example: # linktest 24 24 local tx rate = 24 Mbps peer tx rate = 24 Mbps packet size = 1600 bytes # of packets per period = 1000 # of Cycle = 10 0> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 1> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 2> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 3> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 4> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 5> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 6> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 7> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.00 Mbps 8> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -36 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps 9> [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -37 peer: [tx] 1000 [rx] 1000 [rssi] -40 -> 22.01 Mbps --> [tx] 10000 [rx] 10000 [rssi] -36 peer: [tx] 10000 [rx] 10000 [rssi] -40 --> [Local PER] 0.00 % [Peer PER] 0.00 % Success. #> In this example the linktest was run at 24 Mbps at each end of the link. The results indicated 10 cycles of 1000 packets were transmitted and received from each end of the link without error. Actual achievable throughput is measured at 22 Mbps. Link Speed & Power Settings Users may change the radio’s over-the-air data rate and conducted output power using the speed and power commands. Keep in mind that the lower data rates offer higher receiver sensitivity and higher allowable conducted RF power in the ISM band. The following table shows the relation between speed settings, modulation scheme, receiver sensitivity, and allowable maximum power settings for each band. The lowest power setting for all bands in –4 dBm. Also note that the power setting used in the radio may differ slightly from the FCC tested power output since the FCC measurement technique is slightly different than the technique used in the factory. For link budget purposes, use the numbers provided by Trango. Speed Setting (over-the-air rate) (Mbps) Modulation Scheme Receiver Sensitivity (dB) Max Power High (ISM) Band (dBm) Max Power Low (U-NII) (dBm) 6 BPSK -92 21 7

This feature is useful if the user frequently changes the channel/polarization of the MU . If enabled, the autoscanmu routine in the RU performs a search for the peer MU by actively scanning all available channels and polarizations. Notes regarding the autoscanmu feature: • The RU will not activate the autoscan process after first 60 seconds of turning on opmode. • The RU will start the auto scan process If RU loses association for more than 10 seconds,. • The whole process will scan all available frequencies and polarizations in channel tables. The radio will spend 10 to 12 seconds for each frequency. • For each frequency, radio will survey both polarizations, H and V. It will record the following information: • association • average RSSI of receiving P5010M packets • After scanning all available frequencies in channel plan, the radio will select the channel based on the strongest average RSSI for receiving packets. • If no channel is selected after completing the cycle, the process will start again. Automatic Rate Shifting Feature Description With autorateshift feature enabled, the radios will automatically renegotiate the modulation method and speed speed to maximize wireless link integrity. The link speed will vary depending on two factors: 1) the number of ARQ errors received, 2)successful processing of special link assessment packets sent in both the current and next higher speed. The radio will shift to the next higher in speed when no errors are detected. The radio will shift down in speed if error rate is excessive. Notes regarding the autorateshift feature: 1. The radio will begin initial speed test when upon association to peer radio. There are 40 steps and around 50 seconds to complete this initial test. The radio will send link assessment packets (3600 byte packets at a rate of 100 packets per second) at the highest speed (54 Mbps). The radio will deliver payload at the speed which is specified before association. If the assessment packet dropping rate is higher than 10 percent, the speed test will decrease the speed for assessment packets. If the current payload speed is higher than the speed of assessment
Configuration Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 16 packet, the radio will set the current payload speed to be the same as the assessment packet’s speed. If the current payload speed is lower than the assessment packet’s speed and more than 500 assessment packets have been transmitted, the radio will set the payload speed to be the same as assessment packet’s speed. 2. After completion of initial speed test, the radio will set the payload speed to be the same as the final speed of initial speed test. 3. The radio will check link quality and adjust payload speed periodically. a. The radio will increase payload speed every 60 seconds, if i. Speed test which is running at higher speed is successful. –and- ii. Payload’s ARQ retransmit rate is less than 10 percent. b. Radio will decrease payload speed every 10 seconds, if i. Speed test which is running at payload speed is failure. –and- ii. Payload’s ARQ retransmit rate is higher than 10 percent. 4. Payload speed can be changed manually when auto rate shift is on. But the speed setting will not be sustained. Encryption Feature Description The Atlas system offers 128 bit proprietary encryption which may be turned on or off by the user. The HEX encryption key must be set in both the MU and RU. Users can expect faster payload speeds with encryption turned off as compared to with encryption turned on. MIR Feature Description Maximum Information rate is configurable on both the MU and RU. The MIR function is performed on the transmit side only and is based on a one second timing interval. During each one second timing interval, the total bits transferred is compared to the MIR limit configured by the user. When the limit is exceeded, no more data is sent and the packets in the queue will be dropped. This function is useful for reserving more bandwidth in one direction than the other. If left wide open, the system will respond to bandwidth demand as needed, allowing the full bandwidth of the channel to be used by either direction.

Deployment & Installation Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 19 Chapter 4 Deployment & Installation Once you are familiar with the basic operation of the radios you are ready for deployment in the field. The deployment process consists of the following steps: • Site Selection • Site survey at MU and RU sites • MU installation • RU installation and antenna alignment • Link test Site Selection Proper site selection for your MU will help ensure a successful deployment. Site selection will depend on a wide variety of factors, but from the radio’s performance standpoint, please consider the following: • Path from MU to RU should provide unobstructed line-of-sight (LOS), thus it is advisable to place MU as high as possible on a tall building or tower. • Ethernet cable limit is 100 meters from Ethernet device (router, switch) to radio. • Radios should never be deployed without proper grounding. • Consider nearby sources of interference that could degrade the performance of the radio. Mount radios as far from sources of interference as possible. Site survey The radios provide an on-board site survey tool which measure the average and peak noise levels on any given channel. To use the survey tool, the radio must be in Opmode “OFF.” The survey can be performed for any specified amount of time (in seconds), and for either the horizontal or vertical polarization. Prior to performing the site survey, place the radio in the installation spot, and aim the radio in the desired direction. After the specified period, the results of this command will provide you with a listing of each channel in the band, the average signal received, and the maximum signal received during the survey period. Example: #> survey Press any key to stop. noise floor (peak/avg dBm) rssi by pkt (peak/avg dBm) 0> -97 / -98 n/a 1> -97 / -98 n/a 2> -97 / -98 n/a 3> -97 / -98 n/a 4> -97 / -98 n/a 5> -97 / -98 n/a 6> -97 / -98 n/a 7> -97 / -98 n/a 8> -97 / -98 n/a Ch 1 h 5260 --> -97 / -98 n/a Success. Channel Planning Based on the results of the site survey at each end of the link, choose a channel which offers the lowest noise floor. In order to reliably operate in the higher speed modes, clean spectrum is essential.
Deployment & Installation Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 20 RSSI Command and Antenna Alignment Once the site survey is completed, you are ready to install your radios. Typically it is best to install the MU first. To properly align the radios, use the built-in RSSI tool to achieve maximum signal strength. 1. Ensure MU and RU are in Opmode “ON.” 2. Connect to the RU. 3. Login and type the command rssi. As you read the RSSI, move the antenna in the horizontal and vertical planes until the maximum RSSI reading is achieved 4. If it is not possible to receive an adequate RSSI reading, it may be necessary to reorient the MU (up/down, left/right), to increase the output power of the MU, or to move the RU to a location with better line-of-sight conditions to the MU. 5. Once you are satisfied with the RSSI reading, tighten down the RU in the optimum position. Example: #> rssi Press any key to stop. 0> MU -75 dB RU -75 dB Connected 1> MU -75 dB RU -75 dB Connected 2> MU -73 dB RU -73 dB Connected 3> MU -72 dB RU -71 dB Connected 4> MU -70 dB RU -70 dB Connected 5> MU -70 dB RU -69 dB Connected 6> MU -69 dB RU -70 dB Connected 7> MU -70 dB RU -70 dB Connected 8> MU -70 dB RU -70 dB Connected 9> MU -67 dB RU -68 dB Connected 10> MU -67 dB RU -67 dB Connected Success. Users can also view the RSSI LEDs on the bottom of the radio. See the configuration section of this manual for more information. Setting the Maximum RF Power for Legal Operation in the U-NII Band Due to FCC restrictions the professional installer must manually set the maximum power for the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz U-NII band based upon which antenna is being used. In all cases, Antenna Gain + Radio Max Power Setting can not exceed 30 dBm. As an example, if the radio is being installed with a 34 dBi antenna, then the radio max U-NII power must be fixed to –4 dBm. The antenna feed cable loss should be considered as well, leading to the following equation: Uniimaxpower = 30 dBm (max EIRP) – Antenna gain + cable loss. The power may be set in 1 dB increments within the range of –4 to +7 as shown in the following chart: Antenna Gain Maximum Allowed U-NII Tx Power 23 +7 dBm 30 0 dBm 34 -4 dBm The Max Power Setting command is only accessible from the command line and is not available on the HTTP Browser interface. The telnet command to change the maximum power is:
Deployment & Installation Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 21 uniimaxpower <max power in dBm> The command must be run on each P5010-EXT prior to installing the antenna and while the Opmode is OFF. Example: To set the max power setting for the 34 dBi dish antenna with 2 dB of cable loss use the following command: #> Uniimaxpower –2 The power is –2 based on the following: Uniimaxpower = 30 dBm (max EIRP) –34 dB (ant gain) +2 dB (cable loss) Port Plug and Port Plate Prior to deployment, insert the silicone port plug around the Cat-5 Cable and insert into the radio’s port opening. Next, screw the port plate over the silicone plug as shown in the photographs below.
Deployment & Installation Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 22 Mounting Hardware Radios are supplied with mounting hardware for pole installations. See diagram below for proper use of the mounting hardware. 10.00°UPTILT25.00°DOWNTILT8.50 MAX Mounting Hardware Assembly for Integrated Antenna P5010-INT Mounting Hardware Assembly for P5010M-EXT Connecting External Antenna on EXT Model The P5010-EXT is equipped with two reverse-polarity SMA connectors on the top for attachment to an external antenna. Each SMA connector is labeled with either “V” for Vertical or “H” for Horizontal polarization. Connect each cable to the appropriate “H” and “V” ports on both the antenna and the radio.
SNMP Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 23 NOTE: DO NOT USE MORE THAN 8 lb-Inch OF TORQUE OR THE CONNECTOR MAY BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. It is important to properly seal each antenna connection to protect against moisture and corrosion. Each Atlas radio is shipped with a packet of Coax-Seal connector sealant which should be applied over each of the SMA connectors. Coax-Seal is a gum-like tape which is applied by wrapping around the connector and then compressed/molded to form a single cohesive protective covering over the connector To properly apply the Coax-Seal product first wrap the connector as shown: Secondly, compress the Coax-Seal product to mold into a single protective covering: Cat-5 Cabling Considerations Shielded twisted pair Cat-5 cable is recommended for all installations. The shield within the Cat-5 cable does not need to be grounded if the radio itself is grounded. It is important to consider that most Cat-5 cable will deteriorate over time if exposed to the weather (especially direct sunlight). It is recommended that installers place all Cat-5 cables inside conduit. Plastic conduit is sufficient. If metal conduit is used, it is not necessary to use shielded Cat-5 cable. Weatherizing ! ! Important! Please note that the silicon strain relief has a small gap when the cable is installed. This is normal . It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for STP Cat-5 cables. Do not mount the radio upside down as water will enter the bottom of the radio and cause permanent damage ! Important! The Power-over-Ethernet injector is not a weatherized device and must be located either indoors or in a weather-protected cabinet. Grounding Proper mounting of the radio includes consideration for grounding. Pleasenote that if the radio is attached to a metal pole that is earth-grounded, noother grounding is necessary. If the radio is not earth-grounded via themounting bracket, you must attach a grounding wire to the grounding stud onthe radio as in the adjacent diagram.
SNMP Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 24 Chapter 5 SNMP The Atlas supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Network management consists of the following 3 categories: configuration, Link and Association monitoring and Alarms. Besides this proprietary Management Information Base (MIB) the Atlas also supports a large part of the MIB-II OIDs. Review the Trango MIB (TRANGO-P5M-MIB.mib) available on our website for the complete listing of all MIB objects available. These capabilities allow the system administrator to provide superior service through higher network accessibility and integrated performance monitoring. Depending on your Network Node Manager (NNM) it may be necessary to append a “.0” onto the end of each of the OIDs listed below for proper operation.

SNMP Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 25 Chapter 6 Firmware Upgrade Procedure Trango Broadband Wireless will from time to time release firmware upgrades for the Atlas series radios. The latest released firmware can be downloaded from http://www.trangobroadband.com/support/downloads.htm. Firmware releases consists of two files: Main image firmware and Web (HTTP interface) firmware. Firmware File Names Firmware files are released in the format shown below. This example consists of main image and web firmware versions 1.0a6. Main Image: p5m_1p0a6D05031505_Pupgrade Firmware Version: 1p0a6D05031505 File Size: 1868288 bytes Web web_1p0a6D05031505_Pupgrade File Size: 131584 bytes Firmware Upgrade Password The firmware filenames include the upgrade password (the characters after the ‘_P’ in the file name) The default upgrade password in the Atlas radios is upgrade. Users may change the upgrade password within the radios using the password upgrade command. Firmware release files from Trango Broadband Wireless will always be names with the default upgrade password of upgrade. If the user changes the upgrade password in the radio, then the firmware file name must be changed as well in order to upgrade the radios. Upgrade Procedure 1. Place firmware files in easily accessible path in your computer. 2. In order to provide the most stable wireless conditions possible during the upgrade process it is recommended to set the radio speed to the minimum (6 Mbps) in both the MU and RU. Turn autorateshifting off during the upgrade. 3. Turn on the radio’s tftp daemon 4. From computer’s command prompt, tftp the firmware file into the radio using binary mode. 5. After file is successfully tftp’d to the radio, the radio will automatically reboot itself and load the new firmware IMPORTANT: DO NOT POWER CYCLE OR INTERUPT THE REBOOT PROCESS IN ANY MANNER. WAIT AT LEAST THREE MINUTES TO ENSURE AUTOMATIC REBOOT COMPLETION. LOSS OF POWER DURING THE REBOOT SEQUENCE WILL RESULT IN A CORRUPTED/INCOMPLETE FIRMWARE LOAD WHICH WILL REQUIRE REFLASHING AT THE FACTORY. 6. Repeat process for other radio 7. Repeat process for web file.

Default Opmode: Operation mode of the radio after power cycle. When Opmode is \"On\" the radio will attempt to make a wireless connection. When Opmode is \"Off\" the radio is not transmitting, but can be managed from the wired side. In addition to setting Default Opmode to \"Off\", Opmode can be set to \"Off\" by interrupting the radios boot-up cycle in the first 30 seconds after power up Peer ID: User entered MAC address of the partner unit. Switch: Checked means active Auto Rate Shifting When enabled, radio will automatically shift TX rate up or down depending on link quality. Autoscan MU (RU Only). If this switch is enabled, when not connected to MU, the RU will automatically automatically scan all available channels and frequencies RSSI LED Enables and disables RSSI LEDs. Disabling the LEDs provides slight improvement to radio performance. Typically RSSI LEDs should be enabled during alignment and disabled during normal operation. Active Channel/Polarization: The current channel and polarization of the radio when Opmode is \"On\". Speed: Transmit over-the-air raw data rate. Power: Transmit RF power setting. Range: Allowable range of the transmit power based on the current settings of the active channel and the speed. Remarks: A descriptive text field for general use (i.e. the location of the unit). It does not affect system performance. MIR: Set Maximum Information Rate for network traffic. ARQ: . Auto Retransmit Request. When enabled, dropped packets are detected at the receiver and retransmitted by the transmitter. Encrypt: . Encryption. Enables and disables proprietary 128 bit over-the-air encryption. Key: . 128 Encryption Key. Must match in both MU and RU. Activate Opmode On: Activates radio's Opmode to "On"-transmitting. Activate Opmode Off: Activates radio's Opmode to "Off" not-transmitting.
Appendix A Command Set Reference Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 31 Reboot: Reboot the unit. Close All Telnet Sessions: Close all the active telnet sessions. Configuration Screen All user configurable parameters can be entered from the Configuration Screen and this is the only screen used to provision a wireless link between the two radios.
Appendix A Command Set Reference Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 32 Configuration Screen – Minimum Required Settings to Establish a Wireless Link To configure a wireless link, user must (at a minimum) enter the following information: Unit Type: Set one radio as the MU and one radio as the RU. Click on “Change Unit Type” to save the setting. IP Configuration: Each radio should be set up with a unique IP address to enable remote management. Click on “Change IP Config” to save the setting. Default Opmode: Should be “On”. Radio will enter default opmode approximately 30 seconds after complete reboot cycle. Opmode must be “On” for radios to transmit and wirelessly connect. Peer ID: Enter the last 8 digits of the peer units MAC address. Atlas radios will only wirelessly connect to the peer ID with the specified MAC address. Active Channel: Select a channel & antenna polarization. Both MU and RU should be set to the same channel unless RU’s “Auto Scan Master Unit Signal Enable” is enabled. If Auto Scan is enabled, the RU will automatically scan all channels and polarizations searching for it’s peer MU. Once the MU is detected, the RU will automatically set its active channel and antenna polarization to that of the MU. Click “Save and Activate Settings” to save settings. If all settings are entered correctly, and if radios are within operating range – the MU and RU will automatically wirelessly connect and Ethernet traffic will begin to pass across the wireless link. To verify connection status, refer to the System Information page. Status of “connected” in section 2 of the system information screen will indicate that a wireless link is established between MU and RU. Connection status can also be viewed in the left-hand margin portion of all HTTP screens. Signal strength (RSSI) received from the peer radio is also provided on this screen.

Appendix A Command Set Reference Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 34 Site Survey Page The site survey function measures overall noise floor as well as in-band noise containing data packets. Noise is reported in terms of average and peak dBm for the period tested. The user specifies duration of the test in minutes as well as the antenna port. To run a site survey, the radio must be in Opmode OFF. In this example the site survey function was performed for 1 minute on the vertical polarity. The lower band (5250 – 5340 Mhz) is reported to be relatively clean with a noise floor in the range of –97 to –98 dBm. The noise floor in the upper band (5735 – 5835 MHz) is higher and ranges from –58 dBm (at 5735 Mhz) to –90 dBm (at frequency 5775 MHz. In this example, channel 19 is the noisiest and should be avoided.
Appendix A Command Set Reference Trango Broadband Wireless — ATLAS5010 page 35 Link Control The Link Control page features the RF Link Loopback / Speed Test. In this test, the user specifies the transmission rate (in Mbps) in both the local radio and the peer radio as well as the duration time (in minutes) for the test. During the test, the local radio will transmit packets across the wireless link. The peer radio will retransmit equivalent packets back to the local radio. The test will measure and report error rate and actual throughput as measured in Mbps. The following link test was run for 60 seconds with a specified TX rate of 12 Mbps per end. To run a link loopback test, both radios must be in Opmode ON and status “Connected” In this example, the error rate was 2 packets from MU to RU and 0 packets from RU to MU. Measured aggregate bandwidth is 10.93 Mbps.
