Connecting the Ethernet Cable Step 1 Place the Ethernet Boot Cover over the end of your Cat 5 cable. Step 2 Attach Ethernet Cable Lock on side of the Ethernet Boot. This is easiest to do before you attach the RJ-45 Jack. Step 3 Tighten using a ¾”...

Step 4 Repeat steps 2 & 3 to attach the second Ethernet Cable Lock if you purchased the optional dual port boot. Step 5 Place Sealing Gasket over screws. Step 6 Remove gasket backing and place boot cover on radio. This will ensure that you attach the sticky side of the gasket to the underside of the Ethernet Boot.
Page 8
Step 8 Place the Ethernet boot over the 4 Screw Posts. Apply 4 Kept nuts to the screw posts and tighten until the gasket makes full contact with the Ethernet boot. The gasket should be at least 50% compressed. Optional dual port boot specific note. If you are not going to be using the second port make sure that it is tightened down to ensure a weather-tight seal.

Dual Ethernet Ports The TR-49 has two Ethernet port available. Port A is used to connect to the radio in the radio in the case. Port B is used to power and provide Ethernet connectivity to additional devices. This allows...
HTML Interface NOTE: The default IP address is 192.168.1.100 The default User Name is admin The default Password is default Passwords When you first enter the Web Interface, you will be required to enter a new recovery password. This password is intended to allow the ISP to change the password of the device if they forget it.
Wireless Settings SSID The SSID is a unique ID given to an Access Point. Wireless clients associating to the Access Point must have the same SSID. The SSID can have up to 32 characters. Visibility Status Makes the AP visible or invisible to clients. Channel Sets the channel that the AP and clients will use TX Rate...

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is a modification to the 802.11 spec that allows AP to communicate directly with each other. WDS allows users to spread out coverage to a larger area without the need for a backhaul link. The tradeoff is that overall throughput is greatly affected for all users of the AP’s linked. WDS is not recommended for use with large numbers of clients, or in cases where throughput needs to be maximized.

Stations List (AP Mode Only) This page displays a list of the stations associated with the AP and their connection statistics. The first column is simply the order in which the stations are stored in the Station Table. The second column is the name field. If the device is a Tranzeo 49, and it has the Extended Info option turned on in the Administrative Settings Window, then the device name will appear here.
ARP Table This feature was added as a troubleshooting screen. It shows the devices which have sent either a broadcast or directly tried to communicate with the device. Under normal circumstances, there should be a limited number of entries in this table, especially if you have interstation blocking turned on at the AP.

Network Configuration – Bridge Mode This page allows you to control the network configuration of the device. You can choose Static or DHCP Client IP configuration for the device. Note: If you select DHCP, and a DHCP server is not pre- sent, the device will try to get an IP for up to 5 minutes.
DHCP Server Configuration Subnet Mask Subnet mask for the DHCP pool. Address Range Starting Address The starting address of the DHCP pool.

Static Routing Setup Screen Routing is an incredibility complex topic that is way beyond the scope of a QuickStart or Manual. This screen is intended for those users who have a strong understanding of IP Routing. Misconfiguration on this screen could result in serious network problems or even the loss of functionality.

Menu Options Uplink Speed ( Mbps) Sets the maximum total pipe size for this client. The order and traffic size is determined based on this value. Dynamic Fragmentation Reduce delay for high-priority traffic and adaptive fragmentation where the fragmentation is determined by the uplink speed.
Cloning MAC This is a new feature. It allows the CPE the clone the MAC of the device behind it. This feature can be useful when dealing wth some PPPoE and Radius Implimentations. When the device is in Cloning MAC mode, it can only be managed from the LAN side of the device.
Port Filtering This is a new feature. It allows the radio to block requests for certain IP’s or ports to and from devices behind the router. For example, if a customer wishes to block access to FTP from this network to the outside world, you would 1.

Associated Access Point Information about the access point is displayed here. Some items will only be displayed if the Access Point is a Tranzeo TR-49 series AP with the Extended Info turned on in the Administrative Settings Window. Receiving This box displays the current signal and the Lowest and Highest values. For the most accurate readings, data must be transmitted through the unit.

Statistics The Statistics Screen is divided into 3 main areas, UMAC , LMAC and Ethernet. For Radio Troubleshooting, the UMAC statistics are likely the most useful. The UMAC breaks down the statistics into Good and Bad Packets, whereas LMAC defines why the packets are bad.
Page 26
The failed packets should be 1% or less in a normal operating environment. In the TX statistics, there should little to no Retransmits at Series 2, 3 or 4. Life Statistics are reset on each reboot. In the Ethernet Statistics screen, excessive collisions are usually a sign that the radio and the device it is linked to are not on the same Duplex options.

APPENDIX A: Lightning Information What is a proper Ground? This antenna must be grounded to a proper Earth Ground. According to the National Electrical Code Sections 810-15s and 810-21, the grounding conductor shall be connected to the NEAREST accessible locations of the following: a) The building / structure grounding electrode b) The grounded interior metal water piping system c) The power service accessible means external to enclosure...

Ungrounded Radio An ungrounded radio causes the surge to pass through the radio. In this case the radio most likely will be damaged. Antenna Radio Ground Grounded Radio A grounded radio causes the surge to pass directly to ground, bypassing the radio. Antenna Radio Ground...
Page 29
Mounting Pole In this case, the surge will be picked up by the Cat 5 cable, and since the POE is not grounded, the route for the surge is through the radio to the antenna, and out through the building. Cat 5 Cable Mounting Pole In this case, the surge will be...
Best Practices 1) Always try to run the Cat5 and LMR inside of the mounting pole wherever possible. This helps to insulate the cable from any air surges. Building Cat 5 Cable 2) Keep all runs as straight as possible. Never put a loop into the cables. 3) Test all grounds to ensure that you are using a proper Ground.

APPENDIX B: QoS Tranzeo Wireless Technologies’ software takes full advantage of technology to ensure a consistently high quality on-line experience through the use of powerful Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms. The key to making this applicable in a WISP environment is the Intelligent Stream Handling, a patent-pending algorithm which autonomously manages the flow of traffic going to the Internet, without the need for user configuration.
