Quick Start Guide
• The default addresses of the RAy2 units are:
○ 192.168.169.169/24 - unit labeled L
○ 192.168.169.170/24 - unit labeled U
• On your PC set up a similar address with the same mask, e.g. 192.168.169.180/24.
○To configure your PC’s address in Windows XP do the following: Start – Settings – Network
Connections:
Change properties of this connection – Internet Network Protocol (TCP/IP) – Properties – Use
the following IP address – input 192.168.169.180 and use the mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK
twice.
• Connect both RAy2 units to a PoE source and connect to a PC via PoE for configuration, see figure
Link Configuration below.
• Input the address of the connected RAy2 unit into the address field of your internet browser (such
as Mozilla Firefox), e.g. 198.168.169.169. Login as admin with password admin.
•Status menu provides information on connection.
•Link settings – Radio menu enables you to change the parameters of the radio and ethernet channel,
Link settings – Service access – Users menu lets you change login parameters.
• Continue as suggested by the Step-by-step Guide.

1. RAy2 – Microwave Link
The microwave link RAy2 is designed as a high-speed point-to-point wireless bridge for data transmission
under the latest requirements of modern wireless transmission equipment.
RAy2 works with an ethernet interface and can be used in backhaul networks as well as a last-mile
terminal.The design of microwave link RAy2 reflects effort on meeting the strictest criteria of ETSI
standards, particularly for durability against interference, high receiver sensitivity and high output power
to achieve maximum link distance. The native gigabit Ethernet interface is able to cope with full speed
user data throughput at low latency. High availability of the link (up to 99.999%) is able to be achieved
using hitless Adaptive coding and modulation. RAy2 microwave links can also be operated as a Short
Range Device (SRD).
The link properties can be summarised as:
• High data throughput
• Spectrum effeciency
• Robustness
• Security - cofiguration via http, https, ssh
• User friendly interface, advanced diagnostics
