Overview Chapter 1 Overview The Atlas5010 is a point-to-point (PtP) wireless Ethernet transmission system which provides network connectivity at speeds up to 45 Mbps depending on the transmission distance and noise floor. The Atlas5010 utilizes OFDM technology and is designed for use in long range backhaul and wide area data networking applications. Users are required to simply specify one P5010M (INT or EXT) unit type as master unit (MU) and one unit as remote unit (RU). Each u

Overview Range vs. Throughput The following table shows approximate maximum ranges (at recommended fade margins) achievable with the Atlas5010 system using various antenna configurations. Longer ranges are achievable, but will result in lower fade margins. To estimate theoretical throughput and fade margin for any distance, download the link budget / fade margin calculator tool www.trangobroadband.com . from ISM (5725 MHz to 5875 MHz) Line-of-Sight Range & Throughput Antenna 5

Getting Started Chapter 2 Getting Started It is always a good idea to first provision and test the radios on the bench before deploying them in the field. This is a particularly useful exercise for the novice user. Connections and Power • Connect a Cat-5 (straight through) Ethernet cable (we recommend shielded twisted pair) between the ODU (out door unit) port of the J-box and the RJ-45 connector on the radio. Note that this cable will carry power-over- Ethernet (PoE). • If con

Getting Started Configuration Tools Atlas5010 radios can be configured using either the Command Line Interface (CLI), or the Web Browser (HTTP) interface. The CLI method provides slightly more functionality. This text covers configuration through the CLI. For HTTP configuration please see Appendix A. Telnet Open a command prompt (DOS) session on your PC. Open a Telnet session by typing: telnet Example: C:>telnet 192.168.100.100 Note: All Tr

Getting Started Troubleshooting Ethernet Connections If you cannot telnet into the radio or open an HTTP browser session, check your cable connections to ensure proper use of cross-over vs. straight-through cable, and ensure your PC’s subnet is routable to the radio’s IP address.

Configuration Remote Unit (RU) The RU is typically installed at the remote end of the link. The primary distinction between the MU and RU is that when the radios are not associated, the MU will transmit and the RU will listen until the wireless link is established. Peer ID The Peer ID is defined as the MAC address of the opposite radio. In other words, the Peer ID of the MU is the RU’s MAC address and the Peer ID of the RU is the MU’s MAC address. Authentication is controlled by t

Configuration RF Link Loopback Test (linktest command) The linktest command is the primary tool to assess the quality of the link when opmode is on. The linktest command tests the throughput and packet error rate (PER) on the current channel for each direction at all speeds and reports results. This command also provides RSSI for both ends of the wireless link. The command can be run from either the MU or the RU. . The linktest uses FEC but does NOT use ARQ, so all errors on the li

Configuration Link Speed & Power Settings Users may change the radio’s over-the-air data rate and conducted output power using the speed and power commands. Keep in mind that the lower data rates offer higher receiver sensitivity and higher allowable conducted RF power in the ISM band. The following table shows the relation between speed settings, modulation scheme, receiver sensitivity, and allowable maximum power settings for each band. The lowest power setting for all bands in –4
