“Apply” and “Save” by using the dedicated “Restore to default” function available on the “Admin” tab or by using the Repeatit RTD client software, see section 3.4 for more information on this. -
Page 22: Radio Settings
following section describes available configuration parameters in more detail. Radio settings The radio settings control parameters related to the radio interface. Mode A Trinity unit can operate in three different modes as described in the table below. Defines the channel to operate on and the Point-to-Point Master distance to its client. - Page 23 'Client settings' menu (this menu is only available when the node is set to operate as Multi-Point master). Max Transmit rate This setting actually configures the modulation used for transmission. If you change the "Channel bandwidth" the same modulation will be used but the actual data rate is changed as reflected by the bitrate displayed.
- Page 24 Prefered channels Any known bad channel selections can be disabled here, this will stop radar roaming to those channel. Channel bandwidth The bandwidth determines the spacing between available channels and how the frequency spectrum is divided. This effects the available channels. Channel space Controls the steps between individual channels.
-
Page 25: Cac Policy
Max Tx rate master Maximum data rate from the master unit. Note! The value does not always reflect the actual maximum capacity. The capacity could be limited by other settings like channel bandwidth and division of time between master/client. A low limit can destroy for the built in speed test. -
Page 26: Network Settings
Regulates how much buffering that is used. Higher level removes more out-of-order packets but increases latency. Network settings IP-address on this Trinity-300 series unit. Netmask IP-netmask to use. Gateway Specifies the default gateway for this unit. VLAN VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q) ID, range 1-4094. Note Configuring an invalid VLAN ID might result in the loss of Ethernet connectivity if the there is a mismatch with your switch configuration. - Page 27 Note: Beeping turns off 15 minutes after startup or settings change regardless of setting. Use a syncmaster The SyncMaster is a unit that allows several links to operate on the same channel at the same time at a site. Refer to Repeatit’s SyncMaster white paper for more information.
- Page 28 Syncmaster identity The unique identity of a SyncMaster. VLAN id The VLAN id for SyncMaster packets. By default set to 0 (untagged). Policy for lost connection to syncmaster Should the link raise an alarm and go down if the SyncMaster is lost or keep on without the sync?

RSSI level is measured as the difference in received signal strength and noise floor level. Repeatit’s Deployment Guideline explains how to interpret the signal levels and how to install antennas so the link quality is optimized. The two chains should have similar (+/- two-three dB) -
Page 30: Status Information
Figure 12 - The upper part of the status tab gives an indication of Ethernet/Radio connectivity and radio link quality. Radio status Right below the graphical status bars, the Radio Status information is displayed. See figure below. Figure 13 - Radio status information Below is a short description of the Radio Status parameters. - Page 31 The background noise measured by the receiver (dBm). Signal level The received signal level on incoming packets as measured by the receiver (dBm). Tx Rate The Tx Rate of the last incoming packet. By monitoring this value, you get a feeling of which rate the link actually uses. Note that you should check the rate at both sides of the link to get the full picture.
- Page 32 RSSI Ext Chain1 / Chain2 In cases where an additional 20MHz spectrum is used by the link, the remote RSSI for that spectrum is shown here. So this row will only be visible when 40MHz spectrum is configured for the link. Link status The figure below shows the status information of the radio link.
- Page 33 The IP address of the RCS server. Syncmaster Connectivity status of the SyncMaster. If no SyncMaster is configured, the state is “Disabled”. Ethernet The actual rate used on the wired Ethernet link. Radio statistics The figure below shows the radio statistics information. Note that these statistics are aggregates of the last five seconds and that they are intended to be used mainly for troubleshooting purposes.
- Page 34 Consider moving the equipment or change channels. The spectrum scan tool gives useful information (see tools section in this document or refer to Repeatit’s Deployment Guideline). Radar PHY errors Total number of PHY errors received by the radio card that could be potential radar signals.
- Page 35 Retries The number of retransmitted frames over the past 5 seconds. Excessive retries This is the number of radio frames that have been retransmitted the maximum number of times without success, and hence are dropped. Duplicates If the receiver gets the same packet more than once, it means the remote end has not received the acknowledgement packet for the first transmission.

Page 36: Link Diagnostic Tools
Link Diagnostic Tools The “Tools” page contains diagnostic tools for optimizing your Trinity- 300 series link. Figure 19 – Tools page. Spectrum analyzer The spectrum analyzer tool assists you in selecting a clear channel free from other radio traffic and with minimum amount of background noise. -
Page 37: Speed Test
analyzer is running! Speed test The integrated speed test will show you the available raw radio throughput (±10%) of your link. The speed test takes approximately 5-10 seconds to complete and does not interrupt normal traffic. Up to 10 test runs are stored (4 shown in the figure below) so that you are able to monitor improvements or link degradations. -
