    Command Set Summary Connections and Power Chapter 2 Getting Started First unpack your MU and RU. It is recommended to first provision and test the radios on the bench before deploying in the field. This is a particularly useful exercise to the novice user. Connections and Power Connection and powering of radios is the same for MUs and RUs.

    Basic Configuration - Concepts and Tools Basic Configuration - Concepts and Tools The TrangoLINK-10 can be configured using either the Command Line Interface (CLI) or the Web Browser (HTTP) interface. Although both methods are comprehensive and powerful, the CLI method provides slightly more functionality.
  • Page 8: Browser Interface

    Command Set Summary Basic Configuration - Concepts and Tools 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 Note: All Trango radios (MU and RU) come factory pre-configured with a default IP address 192.168.100.100. You will be greeted with current hardware and firmware information and prompted for a password.
  • Page 9 Command Set Summary Basic Configuration - Concepts and Tools Type the password (default trango) and continue. This will bring up the radio’s system information page. The Browser Interface features useful Help pages which explain all listed parameters. To access the help pages click on the Help link.

In the CLI, type the command sysinfo to receive a comprehensive snapshot of the system’s configuration info and status. Many of these parameters can be changed by the user.
  • Page 13: Chapter 3 Establishing A Wireless Link

    Command Set Summary Procedure to Establish Wireless Link Chapter 3 Establishing a Wireless Link This section describes how to establish a wireless link between MU and RU, using the command line interface. Procedure to Establish Wireless Link In order to establish a wireless link, the following parameters must be set. The Remote ID, the MAC ID of the RU, must be set in the MU.
  • Page 14: Association Concept (Mu To Ru Communications)

    Command Set Summary Basic Diagnostics At this point the MU will begin actively searching for the RU. Once the RU is detected, the authentication and association process will begin. The RU by default is ready to establish a link. Only the RF channel and polarization need to be chosen.
  • Page 15 Command Set Summary Basic Diagnostics Remote: The bottom left side of any page in the Browser Interface, under the heading Remote, shows the connection status of the RU. It will also show the Relative Signal Strength (RSSI) of the link RF Link Loopback Test: Sends 1600 byte packets to the RU at 50 millisecond intervals over the time specified and reports the success rate of the packets in bytes.

    Command Set Summary Site Selection Chapter 4 Deployment 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...
  • Page 17: Channel Planning

    Command Set Summary Channel Planning Channel Planning For installations involving co-location of MU’s, channel planning is of paramount importance. For maximum MU co- location quantities, it is important to assign frequencies of maximum spacing and alternating polarizations for adjacent MUs. Use of the 5.3 spectrum U-NII band as well as the 5.8 spectrum ISM band will allow maximum co-location potential.
