AW58100HTP-PAIR Quick Start Guide The AW58100HTP-PAIR should be ready to function right out of the box. We recom- mend connecting and powering up the units on the bench before deploying in the field, because it is much easier to troubleshoot problems and to adjust the configu- ration if necessary without having to climb poles to do it.

Re-position antennas if necessary to bring the sig- nal strength below -30 dBm. Utilizing state of the art MIMO technology, the AW58100HTP-PAIR achieves very high data rate through a combination of dual spacial streams and higher level OFDM modu- lation.
The RJ-45 socket on the other end of the POE should be connected via your LAN cable to the AvaLAN radio. Then the power cords on the POEs may be plugged into a 120 VAC source. Each radio is provided with a cable clamping device that allows an RJ45 plug on the cable to pass through and can be tightened down around the cable to provide a weatherproof seal.
AW58100HTP-PAIR User’s Manual Connecting to the radio 1. Digital configuration is done by means of the radio’s built in browser interface. The unit should be powered on and connected at least temporarily to a network containing a computer that can run a conventional web browser.
Recovery can be a time-consuming process and will require the help of AvaLAN Technical Support. If you are changing parameters over the RF link (we do not rec- ommend this), be sure to make the remote changes first because the link will be broken if the SSIDs or Security Pass Phrases do not agree.

User’s Manual AW58100HTP-PAIR • If you would rather eliminate encryption and use the “default” profile, you can change the choice of profile on the “Interface <Wireless_Radio>” page described earlier under setting the SSID.

Back on the “Wireless” page, you can click on the WDS process line to see simi- lar information about traffic with just that particular radio. Note that for the AW58100HTP-PAIR Bridge, this information is redundant because there is only one other radio.
Advanced Diagnostic Tools You may want to contact AvaLAN Technical Support for more guidance before using the additional tools described in this section. The radio’s browser interface unlocks some additional features if you login as an advanced user instead of the standard user described earlier in this manual.

AW58100HTP-PAIR User’s Manual 3. Flood Ping: This tool can be used to generate a continuous string of ping com- mands to any IP address the radio can see on its subnet. Ping uses ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) to request a packet from the target device, waits for a return and then immediately sends another request.
