Introduction Overview
Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. H 3.0 page 1
Section 2 Introduction
Your Trango Broadband Access5830 radio system provides a reliable and robust means to deliver broadband access to a
wide geographic region through wireless Ethernet connectivity. This section will familiarize you with basic operational
concepts, as well as an overview of the various components and hardware of the Access5830 system.
Overview
The dual-band Access5830 is a highly versatile and cost effective outdoor point-to-multipoint solution for wireless
broadband service providers and enterprise connectivity applications. The Access5830 delivers 10 Mbps over the
air, and operates in the 5.8 GHz ISM band
The Access5830 system is classified as a Layer 2 multi-point bridge. Authentication of the SUs is performed using
a secure, proprietary method at the MAC level, and thus all forms of Ethernet traffic and unlimited IP addresses
will pass seamlessly over the system. There is no limitation on the number of IP addresses or hardware devices that an
individual SU may have physically connected to it.
Both APs and SUs can be easily configured and managed through built in serial and Ethernet interfaces. A web
browser can be used for quick set up and deployment. The Access5830 radios are powered using "power-over-
Ethernet" for ease and low-cost installation. Both APs and SUs feature a handy "site survey" tool to check for
interference.
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™. Network operators can co-locate multiple APs at a single cell site, thus
increasing the aggregate throughput available at each wireless point of presence (POP).
Figure 2-1: Typical Point-to-Multipoint Deployment
The Access5830 AP provides a host of comprehensive tools and functions. The AP typically resides at the center of the
point-to-multipoint (PMP) network, and performs all management functions including the allocation of bandwidth for all
associated SUs.

Introduction SmartPolling™ Overview
Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. H 3.0 page 2
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. The SU only transmits the
data “upstream” to the AP when the AP gives it authorization via a “transmit grant.” The SU parses every
“downstream” data packet from the AP, and identifies packets intended for it. In order for an SU to
communicate with an AP, the system administrator must first add the MAC address and ID number of that SU
to the subscriber database in the AP. The SmartPolling™ algorithm will poll active SUs more often, thus not
wasting time and bandwidth on inactive SUs. Several other parameters are considered in the SmartPolling™
algorithm, including Committed Information Rate (CIR), Maximum Information Rate (MIR), and the Priority
Setting.
Each of the above parameters is set in the AP by the system administrator and cannot be controlled at the SU.
These parameters will be covered in greater detail later in this text.
When power is first applied to a properly installed SU, it will scan all the channels in its scan table searching for
an AP with the same Base ID that is sending transmit grants. The SU will then stop the channel scanning
process and lock onto the AP’s channel and respond to the AP using maximum RF power. Before the AP can
add the SU to the polling list, it must authenticate the SU by verifying the MAC address and performing a
ranging operation to the SU.
Once successfully authenticated and ranged, the SU will be added to the AP’s normal polling list. The AP will
then adjust the RF transmit power of the SU according to the Target RSSI parameter set in the AP. This process
is referred to as “power leveling.”

Getting Started Connections and Power
Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. H 3.0 page 10
Section 4 Getting Started
This section explains how to power your radios, establish TCP/IP connectivity to the radios, as well as how to access the
HTTP browser and the command line interfaces.
Connections and Power
Connection and powering of the radios is the same for both APs and SUs.
•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 connecting to a COMPUTER, use a Cross-Over Ethernet cable from the NET port of the J-box to the
computer’s Ethernet port.
If connecting to a HUB, SWITCH, or ROUTER, use a Straight-Thru cable.
•Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet.
Figure 4-1: Wiring Diagram
Both green LEDs on the J-box should be lit, indicating power is present at the J-box as well as the radio.
You are now ready to configure the radio via the Ethernet port.

Getting Started Opmode and Radio Management Concepts
Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. H 3.0 page 11
Opmode and Radio Management Concepts
Proper connections to the radios, and careful IP/routing and planning, will enable the network administrator to access and
manage the radios remotely over the network.
Radio management through TCP/IP can be performed from a PC connected to the Ethernet port of the radio.
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.”
APs can be in one of two Opmodes: Opmode “OFF” or Opmode “AP.” When in Opmode “OFF,” the radio is not
transmitting, and is not attempting to associate with the SUs. Alternatively, when in Opmode “AP,” the radio is
transmitting, and is attempting to associate with the SUs. Similarly, SUs have two Opmodes: Opmode “SU” and
Opmode “OFF.”
Certain functions, such as the site survey function and the SU RSSI function can only be performed while the radio is in
Opmode “OFF.” See Appendix D – Command Set Reference for a complete listing of commands, and the appropriate
Opmode(s) for each command.

Figure 4-2: Radio Management Methods
Notes about Switch Settings
Access5830 firmware includes several “switches” that are used to set certain operational parameters of the radios. Switch
settings can be changed using the HTTP browser interface or the Command Line Interface. For purposes of TCP/IP radio
management, the following three switches are important:
SU Switch 6 - TCP/IP access direct to SU from SU side of network requires that switch 6 (SW 6) be “ON.” SW 6 was
introduced with the FOX series subscriber units and v1.11 firmware for the M5830 Series SU. Default setting for SW
6 (from factory) is “ON.” If SW 6 is off, TCP/IP access to the SU from the SU side of the network is possible only if
the SU’s Opmode is “OFF.”
SU Switch 2 - TCP/IP access to the SU from the AP side of network requires that the SU’s switch 2 (SW 2 – TCP/IP
for AP) be “ON.” Default setting for SW 2 (from factory) is “ON.”
AP and SU Switch 5 – In order to utilize the radio’s HTTP Browser interface, switch 5 (SW 5) must be “ON.”
Default setting for SW 5 (from factory) is “ON.”

Getting Started Browser Interface
Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. H 3.0 page 12
Browser Interface
The HTTP browser interface is an easy-to-use, configuration and management tool. The web pages originate from the
radio itself, so no additional software is needed on the managing PC other than a web browser.
The browser interface’s functionality is a subset of the commands available in the command line interface (CLI). To use
the browser interface, the following must be present:
•An Ethernet connection between a PC and the radio
•Set your PC’s Ethernet properties to a subnet that is routable to the radio (radio default IP
address=192.168.100.100)
•A web browser (i.e. Microsoft Internet Explorer)
In order to use the browser interface, simply connect the radio to a PC and type the radio’s IP address into the web
browser. This will bring up the Login page.
Note: Only one user can have an HTTP session with a given radio at a time. The log out timer is set to five minutes.
Note: Most pages are similar for Access Points and Subscriber Units. When there are significant differences, both
are included in this text. With each page there is a brief description of the major features. For more discussion on any
feature see the Command Set Reference, or click the Help hyperlink.
Figure 4-3: Browser Interface Login Page
Type the password (default trango) and continue. This will bring up the radio’s System Information page.

Getting Started Browser Interface
Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. H 3.0 page 13
Figure 4-4: Web Browser System Information Page
Figure 3-4 shows the System Information page for an Access Point. Basic system information for a subscriber unit is
similar, and is covered in detail later in this text.
The following describes the primary features and pages of the HTTP Browser interface:
Navigation Column: The blue rectangular column on the left of all pages. The top displays the model number of the
radio to which you are connected. On the bottom of the Navigation Column is the Current Status of the radio, including
its Base ID, AP ID, and current Opmode. In addition, there are the following links:
System Information Page: Shows most of the basic configuration parameters of the radio. It is the first page shown
after login.
Configuration Page: The essential parameters, such as Base ID, channel, and polarization, are set here.
Advanced Setup Page: The advanced RF parameters, such as Transmit Power, are set here.
Site Survey Page: From here, in Opmode “OFF,” the user can conduct a spectrum analysis.
Subscriber Database Page: This is the page that defines which SUs can associate with the AP.
Link Control Page: With this page you can determine which SUs are connected, and how they are performing.
Command Console Page: Runs any console command that is not interactive (i.e. ipconfig). The results are reported
back on the HTTP screen. For a complete list of console commands, type "help" in the entry field.
Logout Link: This will end the current HTTP session with the radio.
Help Page: The Browser Interface features useful Help pages that explain all listed parameters. To access the help
pages click on the Help link. For a complete description on the use of the Browser Interface, see Appendix A.

Getting Started Command Line Interface
Trango Broadband Wireless — Access5830 User Manual Rev. H 3.0 page 14
Command Line Interface
Although most radio functions can be managed using the browser interface, the command line interface (CLI) does
provide slightly more functionality. The CLI can be accessed through Telnet (all radios), or via the serial port (excluding
FOX radios).
Telnet
Open a command prompt (DOS) session on your PC. Open a Telnet session by typing:
telnet [<ip address of radio>]
Example:
C:>telnet 192.168.100.100
All Trango radios (APs and SUs) are factory pre-configured with a default IP address of 192.168.100.100. In Telnet you
will be greeted with the current hardware and firmware information, and prompted for a password. Type in the password
and press enter. The factory default password is trango.
To terminate a CLI session (Telnet or Serial) type the command logout.
Note: Type help or ?for a listing of all CLI commands. Type help [<command>], for the syntax of a particular
command.
The majority of the CLI commands will be covered throughout this text as well as in Appendix D -- Command Set
Reference.
Troubleshooting
If you can not 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. If you still
cannot access the radio’s management interfaces, consult the troubleshooting guide available at
http://www.trangobroadband.com/support/appnotes_web.htm.
Reset Button on FOX Series Radios
FOX Series radios feature a reset button that can be pressed with a small object such as a paper clip. Pressing the reset
button will reset the radio’s IP address to factory default of 192.168.100.100, and password trango. The reset button can
be useful if you forget or are unsure of the radio’s IP address/password.

Serial Port on M5830 Series Radios
M5830 Access Points and Subscriber Units feature a
serial port. The serial port is useful in the event that the
radio cannot be accessed via TCP/IP (HTTP or Telnet).
A Terminal Emulation program (such as HyperTerminal
on the Windows operating system) can be used to access
the radio’s CLI using the radio’s serial port, which is
located behind the RJ-11 access cover on the bottom of
the radio. A serial programming cable has been provided
with each AP for this purpose. The same cable may be
used for subscriber units. To terminate a CLI session
(Telnet or Serial) type the command logout. Type help
or ?for a listing of all CLI commands. Type help
[<command>] for the syntax of a particular command.

Note: Serial management (via the RJ-11 port) is
possible on both APs and SUs regardless of Opmode and
switch settings.
