Preface FCC Information Section 1 Preface This manual covers basic configuration and installation of the Access5830 Wireless Broadband System, and applies to the following radio part numbers: M5830S-AP-60 Dual-band Access Point with internal sectoral patch antenna M5830S-AP-EXT** Dual-band Access Point with connector for external antenna M5800S-FSU FOX5800 5.8 GHz Subscriber Unit...
The Access5830 system consists of two types of radios: Access Points (AP) and Subscriber Units (SU). The AP unit acts as a hub in a star configuration wireless multipoint network supporting up to 512 subscriber units. The AP delivers wireless broadband service (Ethernet connectivity) to one or more SUs according to a proprietary adaptive dynamic polling algorithm called SMARTPolling™.
SmartPolling™ Overview SmartPolling™ Overview One of the major advantages of the Access5830 system is the ability of the AP to handle multiple SU connections, and share the 10 Mbps data throughput very efficiently. Bandwidth allocation is managed by the AP’s SmartPolling™ algorithm according to provisioning rules set up by the system administrator. The AP polls each SU in a round robin format to determine if the SU has data to transfer.
Section 3 Hardware Overview This section provides details about each radio in the Access5830 family. Each radio in the Access5830 family includes electronically switchable dual-polarized antennas (internal or external). All units are designed for outdoor installation, and are powered by Power-over-Ethernet (POE) for ease of installation. The Access5830 Access Point and Subscriber Units are single band radios, and provide channels of operation in the 5.8 GHz ISM band.
Note: The FOX5800 and FOX5800-D radios contain different integrated antennas. The FOX5800 includes a multi- element antenna that will not work properly when placed on an AD5800-25-D dish. * The M5580M-FSU (Atlas Fox) can operate with or without the AD5800-25 External Dish Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. H 3.0 page 4...
Access5830 AP and SU Hardware Components Each radio comes equipped with a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) J-Box, an AC adapter, and mounting hardware. The Access5830 APs (part #M5830S-AP-60, -AP-EXT) also includes a serial programming cable. Figure 3-3: Basic Components of an Access5830 Radio...
Figure 3-4: Bottom of Access Point (and 5830 Series SU) At the bottom of the Access5830 are two access ports: a twist-on weatherproof cable port for the RJ-45 Ethernet port, and an access cover (port plug for the RJ-11 serial port. Most configuration and management tasks can be performed through the Ethernet port.
The FOX5800 and FOX5300 include hardware for wall or pole mounting (excluding wall mount screws and pole-mount hose clamps). The FOX5800-D is equipped with a dish/reflector mounting bracket.

Furthermore, PCs connected to the AP can manage SUs over the wireless connection. However, a PC connected to an SU cannot gain direct TCP/IP access to the AP over the wireless connection. To fully understand radio management for the Access5830 system, it is important to be familiar with the concept of operation mode or “Opmode.”...

Evaluate Link Quality The Access5830 uses the concept of “association” to indicate that the APs and SUs are communicating. If all parameters are properly set, the AP will begin actively searching for the SUs in its SUDB. Once an active SU is detected, the authentication and association process will begin.

Managing AP from SU side of Network The Access5830 was designed to prevent users on the SU side of the network from accessing the AP via telnet or HTTP interface. If it is necessary for network administrators to access an AP from the SU side of the network the user must first telnet into a router, or similar device, located behind the AP, then telnet from the router into the AP.

SNMP Setup Trango Broadband provides only the MIB portion of the SNMP Management system. The radios act as individual agents. It is up to the user to provide an SNMP Manager software from a third party vendor. Below is an example of the setup process for SNMPc from Castle Rock™.
HTTP Browser Interface Below are screen shots of most of the browser pages that manage the Access5830 system. The pages originate from the radio itself, so no additional software is needed on the managing PC other than a web browser. A Web Browser on a computer with an Ethernet connection to the radio and the IP address of the radio are all that are required.
