Quickstart
Before proceeding with the installation, verify that the
equipment works on the ground. Power up both units and put
them between your computer and network access, you should
have full communication within a few minutes of powering up
the units. (If the units have no internal antenna make sure you
place the antenna connectors directly opposite each other.)
Both the units are pre-configured in Master mode with the same
IP address, user name and password:

Log in to the units one by one and configure them in Master and
Client mode so they connect to each other.
Installing the link
• Mount the first unit and point it towards the site of the
second unit. Power it up and make sure the Power LED is lit
and the status LED blinks slowly.
• Mount the second unit. Power it up and adjust it for best signal
using the status LED see section 1.9 for details .

• Make sure all cables are secured and connect the link to the
network.
• Configure the distance parameters at the master unit to
reflect the correct distance between the units.
Note Make sure that the polarization on both units is the
same. Unaligned polarization will significantly reduce the
signal strength. For more information about antenna
polarization and how to successfully tune the links for good
performance, refer to Repeatits’Deployment Guideline
document.

Installation Guide
1.1 Who should use this guide
Installing fixed outdoor radio links requires technical expertise and
should only be carried out by a trained technician. You should only
attempt to install and configure the Trinity link if you have
• Experience in mounting outdoor radio equipment and
aligning antennas.
• Understanding, or common knowledge, about network
equipment.
• Made sure that the installation site is suitable and complies
with local radio, electrical and safetyregulations.
1.2 Additional tools required
Depending on the conditions at the installation site other tools
might be needed, including, but not limited to
• Cat5E Ethernet cable
• RJ-45 crimp tool and RJ-45 connectors if not using a pre-assembled
Ethernet cable
• An adjustable wrench

!
!
• Drill for wall mounting
• Ground cables
• Cable ties to secure cabling

1.4 Installation
Installing a Trinity-300 system consists of the steps outlined
below. Each step is explained more thoroughly in the following
sections. The Trinity-300 system consists of two Trinity-300
units, one master unit and one client unit, the installation steps
needs to be carried out for both units.
1. Before taking the units to the site, configure one of them to
be the Master and the other one to be the Client. Normally
this is done in an office environment. Note that link
throughput can be degraded by multipath effects and other
RF related phenomenon in an office. Therefore, just make
sure that the links connect to each other and have proper IP
settings before taking them to the site.
2. Mount the Trinity-300 unit and antenna (if applicable)at site
A.
3. Install the PoE at an indoor location where power and network
equipment is available.
4. Run Ethernet cable from the PoE to the mounted Trinity-300
unit.
5. Repeat the above steps for the unit at site B.
6. Align antennas for best signal reception. For longer distances,
this normally requires re-alignment of antennas on both sides
of the link.
7. For optimal link throughput the following parameters must be

updated in the web interface
• Distance - should accurately reflect the distance in
kilometers between the units.
