Figure 0-2 Back of Radio Showing where MAC address can be Found

Ethernet and Serial Ports

At the bottom of the radio are two access ports: a twist-on weatherproof cable port for RJ-45 Ethernet (and PoE), and an
access cover (with two screws) for RJ-11 serial port. Most configuration and management tasks can be performed
through the Ethernet jack. The access cover also contains a small window which reveals three LEDs. These LEDs
provide RF link-status information. These LEDs will be discussed later in this text.

Antennas

The M5830S-MU and M5830S-RU each include dual polarized antennas. The M5830S-MU-EXT and M5830S-RU-EXT
are designed to work with FCC certified external patch style or dish antennas. All of these antennas can be
electronically switched between horizontal (H) and vertical (V) polarization.

MU/RU Operational Overview

TrangoLINK MU is a sophisticated broadband wireless device which provides a host of comprehensive tools and
functions. The MU typically resides at the managing end of the network and performs all management functions for the
associated RU.
In order to make a link more secure, prior to an RU communicating with a MU, the system administrator must
first add the MAC address and ID number of the RU to the user database in the MU.
When power is first applied to a properly installed RU, it will scan all the channels in its Scantable, searching
for an MU. The RU will then stop on that channel and respond to the MU using maximum RF power. Before
the MU can wirelessly connect to the RU, it must authenticate the RU by verifying the MAC address, and
performing a ranging operation to the RU.
Upon successfully locating and ranging the RU, the MU will adjust the RF transmit power in the RU based on
the Target RSSI parameter in the MU. This process is referred to as "power leveling".

MUs and RUs look identical. The only way to tell
them apart is by the model number printed on the
backside product label. This label also contains
the MAC ID of the radio as well as the serial #.
