Hardware Installation
Take the following steps to set up your TR-49.
Site Selection: Before installation, determine the TR-49 unit’s location. Proper placement of the unit
is critical to ensure optimum radio range and performance. You should perform a Site Survey to
determine the optimal location. Ensure the CPE is within line-of-sight of the Access Point.
Obstructions may impede performance of the unit.
Tools Required to Install
• One 3/8 wrench
• One 3/4 wrench
• One RJ-45 crimper
• A suitable length of Cat 5 cable to bring the signal from the unit to the Power over Ethernet
Adaptor
• 2 RJ-45 Jacks
Before installing, you must determine if the unit will be in the horizontal or vertical orientation. The
TR-49 model can be mounted in either orientation. The Ethernet boot should always be placed so
that the cable runs toward the ground for maximum environmental protection.

Connecting the Ethernet Cable
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Place the Ethernet Boot Cover over the end of
your Cat 5 cable.
Attach Ethernet Cable Lock on side of the
Ethernet Boot. This is easiest to do before you
attach the RJ-45 Jack.
Tighten using a ¾” wrench or socket. Tighten
until the Cable Lock touches the Boot as shown
in Step 3.

Step 4
Step 5
Step 7
Repeat steps 2 & 3 to attach the second Ethernet
Cable Lock if you purchased the optional dual
port boot.
Place Sealing Gasket over screws.
Insert the Cat 5 Cable and tighten the Boot
Cover. Be sure to pull enough cable through to
reach the RJ-45 connector with an RJ-45 jack at-
tached. The Gasket must be attached to the
Boot so that it sits between the radio and the
boot.
Hand tighten only. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as
you may damage the environment seal.
Remove gasket backing and place boot cover on
radio. This will ensure that you attach the sticky
side of the gasket to the underside of the
Ethernet Boot. Make sure the Gasket is free of
gaps.
Step 6

Step 8
Attaching the Mounting Bracket
Grounding the Antenna
Using a #6 Green grounding wire, connect the Grounding Lug on the radio to a proper ground. See
APPENDIX A Lighting Information for more information.
Place the Ethernet boot over the 4 Screw Posts.
Apply 4 Kept nuts to the screw posts and tighten
until the gasket makes full contact with the
Ethernet boot. The gasket should be at least
50% compressed.
As shown below, the U-Bolt is designed to mount
around a pole. Tighten bolts sufficiently to
prevent any movement.
Down or up tilt can be adjusted by swinging the
unit before tightening the U-Bolt.
Optional dual port boot specific note.
If you are not going to be using the second port
make sure that it is tightened down to ensure a
weather-tight seal.

Connect the Power Cable
Dual Ethernet Ports
The TR-49 has two Ethernet port available. Port A is used to connect to the radio in the radio in the
case. Port B is used to power and provide Ethernet connectivity to additional devices. This allows
for the daisy chaining of multiple devices together.
Connect the power adapter to the power
socket on the Power over Ethernet Adaptor
(POE), and plug the other end of the power
into an electrical outlet. Plug the RJ-45 Ca-
ble from the unit into the POE. The Station
Adaptor will be powered on and the power
indicator on the top panel will turn on.
NOTE: ONLY use the power adapter sup-
plied with the Access Point. Otherwise, the
product may be damaged.
This unit must be grounded. Connect the
Green Grounding Cable to a known good
earth ground, as outlined in the National
Electrical Code.

Passwords
Information
When you first enter the Web Interface, you will
be required to enter a new recovery password.
This password is intended to allow the ISP to
change the password of the device if they forget
it. This password must be different than the
operator password. Neither password can be
left at default. These passwords must be
changed to access the device. If you do not
enter new passwords, you will return to this
webpage.
In the frame on the
left, select the option
you wish to configure.

Wireless Settings
SSID
The SSID is a unique ID given to an Access Point.
Wireless clients associating to the Access Point must have the
same SSID. The SSID can have up to 32 characters.
Visibility Status
Makes the AP visible or invisible to clients.
Channel
Sets the channel that the AP and clients will use
TX Rate
The rate at which the radio will communicate with the clients.
NOTE: Setting this rate below the maximum possible does not
limit bandwidth, and often has a negative impact on the
operation of your network.
RTS Threshold (0-3000)
Select RTS that works best in your location. A general rule of
thumb is the more clients you have, the lower the value should
be set.
Fragmentation Threshold
Select Fragmentation that works best in your location. The
lower the Fragmentation, the smaller the packets.
Link Distance
Sets the distance of the link for correct ACK timing.
ACK Timeout Tuning (µs)
For fine tuning the ACK timing if required.
Beacon Interval
Sets the rate at which the AP will broadcast its beacons.
DTIM Interval
Sets the DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval.
Helps to keep marginal clients connected by sending wake up
frames.
Burst Time
Sets the Burst Time in ms. which will be used to send data without
stopping. Note that other wireless devices in that network will not
be able to transmit data for this number of microseconds.
802.11d Enabled
Enable 802.11d mode. Not used in operation in the United
States or Canada.
Block Inter-Client Traffic
Select to block wireless communications between clients on the
AP.
Power Cap (dBm)
Sets the output power of the radio.
Preamble
You can now set the preamble type: Long or Auto. Auto tries Short
first, then Long. Long uses Long only. This feature was added to
workaround some competitive AP’s that did not support Auto
Preamble.
PXP How to:
To operate the radio in PXP mode, one radio
needs to be set to Access Point and the other
set to Infrastructure.
♦ Set the SSID to be the same on both
radios
♦ Channel is set by the AP
♦ Enter in the opposite radios’ MAC ad-
dress into the PxP Mac address field on
both radios (no colons)
♦ Check off “PxP Mode Enabled”
Note: The LEDS on the radios will operate the
same as in Infrastructure mode, with LEDS pro-
portional to signal strength.

Image File Name
Enter the location of the Firmware update file, or use Browse to locate the file in your PC, and then press “Upgrade Soft-
ware”
Defaults
Returns all settings to factory defaults.
Device Name
The network name of the device.
User Name
The access user name.
Password/Confirm Password
Enter the password for accessing the device
Ext. Info Enabled
Enable extended information. Extended information is only displayed with Tranzeo Wireless Technologies Access
Points.
Signal / Status LEDs
Un-select to turn off the LEDs on the unit.
SMNP Parameters
Here you set the Read Community string and Contact / Location data. It is highly recommended that you change the
SNMP Read Community string immediately to prevent unauthorized scanning of your network.
Version 2.0 supports MIB-II and the 80211 mib.
Note: The in and out values are in 64 bit values to accommodate the high amount of traffic that could pass through a
backhaul link. This should not impact any monitoring program.
Administrative Settings

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is a modification to the 802.11 spec that allows AP to communicate
directly with each other. WDS allows users to spread out coverage to a larger area without the need for a
backhaul link. The tradeoff is that overall throughput is greatly affected for all users of the AP’s linked. WDS is
not recommended for use with large numbers of clients, or in cases where throughput needs to be maximized.
In cases were large numbers of users are involved, or maximum throughput is need a dedicated PxP link
should be used. However, in areas of low density WDS can allow an ISP to extend coverage into an area at
very low cost.
Enabled
Select this box to enable WDS
HOW TO SET UP WDS
♦ Default the Unit to factory settings.
♦ Check the Wireless Settings of the APs.
♦ SSIDs can be different but the Channels MUST be the same
♦ Under the WDS settings add in the MAC address of the PEER. Unit A gets Unit B's ad-
dress, Unit B gets Unit A's address. Do not insert colons or commas.
♦ Click 'Apply'
♦ Ping a station connected to the opposite end. It should reply.
Considerations for the Use of WDS
1) WDS Links do not appear in the station list or the performance tab. If you need to be able to
monitor the link’s strength and performance you should use PxP mode.
2) Throughput is cut by 50% per link.
3) WDS does not support WPA encryption.
4) All links need to be on the same channel.

Associate With This Station Manually
Enter the MAC address of a client and then click “add” to associate with it.
Changes to Access Control
NOTE: If you are working via a radio link, the first MAC you should add is the address of the station you are
connecting from. Otherwise, you will lock yourself out of the radio.
1. The Manually Authorize Stations section allows you to enter a long list of MAC address.
2. You can also select specific station that are already authorized and copy them to the Manually Authorize
Stations box.
3. Data in the Manually Authorize Stations box can be copied to the clipboard to be pasted into another unit or a
text file.
4. The Move button moves the MAC Address from Manually Authorize Stations to the Unauthorized list and vice
versa.

This page displays a list of the stations associated with the AP and their connection statistics.
The first column is simply the order in which the stations are stored in the Station Table.
The second column is the name field. If the device is a Tranzeo 49, and it has the Extended Info option turned on in the
Administrative Settings Window, then the device name will appear here. Otherwise, the field will be blank.
You can enter a name into the field by left clicking onto the field and typing the name in. This name will be retained.
However, if the Extended Info is turned on at the client, the name will be overwritten with the name on the client.
The third column is the IP address. As with the name, if the client supplies it via the Extended Info option, it will appear.
Otherwise you can manually enter it.
The fourth column in is the Status field.
The fifth column is the RF power in dBm as detected at the AP. This is one element of a strong link, the signal of the
client end being another. Links should also be at least 10 dB higher than the receive sensitivity of the weakest element
or the noise floor, whichever is higher, on both sides.
The sixth columns shows the radio speed of the link. Speed is based on both signal strength and the quality of the link.
If the link is losing a lot of packets due to poor Fresnel zones or interference, the speed will be lower than the strength
can support.
Stations List (AP Mode Only)

ARP Table
This feature was added as a troubleshooting screen. It shows the devices which have sent either a broadcast or
directly tried to communicate with the device. Under normal circumstances, there should be a limited number of
entries in this table, especially if you have interstation blocking turned on at the AP.

Network Configuration – Bridge Mode
This page allows you to control the network configuration
of the device.
You can choose Static or DHCP Client IP configuration
for the device.
Note: If you select DHCP, and a DHCP server is not pre-
sent, the device will try to get an IP for up to 5 minutes.
At the end on 5 minutes, it will fall back to a static IP.
You can then locate it using the Locator Program and
change it back to static.
You can also set the Ethernet Speed on this page.
Note: Many Ethernet devices do not auto-negotiate prop-
erly. If you see large numbers of dropped pings, you may
be have collisions. Try locking the device at 10 / Half as
a troubleshooting step. If the packet losses stop, step up
to 100 / Half. If the device the radio is connecting can
not support 100 / Half, you should replace the device or
place a switch in line.
Network Configuration – Router Mode
You can choose Static, DHCP or PPPoE Client IP
configuration for the device. Each of these options are
explained on the following pages.
Note: If you select DHCP, and a DHCP server is not
present, the device will try to get an IP for up to 5
minutes. At the end on 5 minutes, it will fall back to a
static IP. You can then locate it using the Locator
Program and change it back to static.
If you select a PPPoE client, and no PPPoE server can
be found, you may be not be able to access the device
from the WAN side. You will still be able to access it from
the non-PPPoE interface.
You can also set the Ethernet Speed on this page.
Note: Many Ethernet devices do not auto-negotiate
properly. If you see large numbers of dropped pings, you
may be have collisions. Try locking the device at 10 /
Half as a troubleshooting step. If the packet losses stop,
step up to 100 / Half. If the device the radio is
connecting can not support 100 / Half, you should replace
the device or place a switch in line.

Routing is an incredibility complex topic that is way beyond the scope of a QuickStart or Manual. This screen is
intended for those users who have a strong understanding of IP Routing. Misconfiguration on this screen could
result in serious network problems or even the loss of functionality.
Menu Options
Static Routes—Adds a new route to the IP routing table.
System Routes—This section shows the current routing table entries.
Interface—Specifies whether the entry will be enabled or disabled, and what interface it should use transmit the packet.
IP Address—The IP address or network that the packets will be attempting to access
Subnet Mask—Used to specify which portion of the Destination IP signifies the network trying to be accessed and which
part signifies the host that the packets will be routed to.
Note: 255.255.255.255 is used to signify only the host that was entered in the Destination IP field.
Gateway—Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies there is no next hop, and
the IP address matched is directly connected to the router on the interface specified:
Metric—The number of hops it will take to reach the Destination IP or network. A hop is considered to be traffic passing
through a router from one network to another. If there is only one router between your network and the Destination
network, then the Metric value would be 1.
Default Route—Allows the user to change the default route of the radio. This option should be used with extreme
caution.
