An elevated location is recommended as obstacles like trees, buildings and large steel structures will weaken the wireless signal. See Q2 in FAQ for details about how to calculate the minimum mounting height of the devices. line of sight Side View 3 Orientation Install the CPE devices with their fronts facing the signal receivers. You can orient the devices with the assistance of Google Map, GPS and some landmarks according to the horizontal beamwidth listed below.

The shielded CAT5e cable with ground wire (refer to the figure below) is prior to the general shielded CAT5e cable during the whole cabling. The former can more effectively protect your devices against ESD attacks under brutal outdoor environment.

l e d o M Connect the PoE Adapter to a power outlet with the power cord. Power over Ethernet up to 60m Connect the LAN0 (POE IN) port of the CPE to the PoE port of the PoE Adapter. Connect the LAN port of the PoE Adapter to a computer, router or switch. Slide to replace the cover of the CPE when all connections are finished. 6 At the selected site, approximately align the CPE to the direction that you have oriented. Fasten the CPE with the provided Pole Mounting Straps to a pole or mounting bracket. 4. Lightning & ESD Protection Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices. Pharos CPEs provide two methods to protect the devices from damage of lightning and ESD attacks as shown in the figure below. Two Methods:
1 2 Shielded CAT5e Cable with Ground Wire & PoE Adapter with Earth Ground Grounding Terminal and Cable Grounding Terminal CPE Grounding Cable 1 PoE Adapter with Earth Ground Shielded CAT5e Cable with Ground Wire 1 1 2 Earth Ground In most cases, adopting either of the two methods can be adequate, but adopting both of them can offer more effective protection. 7 Software Configuration This chapter introduces the login to the Pharos Web Interface and the software configurations to implement Point-to-Point application. 1. Login to PharOS 1. Before accessing the PharOS Web Interface, you need to assign a static IP address 192.168.0.x (2x253) to your computer. We use 192.168.0.10 as an example in the figure below. 8 2. Open your web browser, type 'http://192.168.0.254' in the address field and press 'Enter'. It is recommended to use the latest version of Google Chrome, Safari or Firefox. 3. The 'Login' page will appear, set the parameters as below. Username: admin Password: admin Region: select according to your country/region Select 'I agree to these terms of use'
Click 'Login'
4. At the first login, change the 'Password' for safety. For subsequent logins, you only need to enter the username and password that you have set to log in. 9 5. Then you will log in to the PharOS Web Interface and see the Status page, shown as the figure below. 10 Antenna Alignment In order to get the best performance, you can precisely align the direction of the CPE with the assistance of 'Wireless Signal Quality' on STATUS page of the Pharos Web Interface.

In order to maximize the received signal strength of the devices, installers need to minimize the effect of the out-of-phase signals, which is caused by obstacles in the path between the transmitter and the receiver. Fresnel Zone is a usual method to calculate this path, as shown in the formula and the figure below. d2 d1 r h = the height of obstacle at this point H h+r*(1 40%)
(H is the height of the CPE) r
=
d d 1 1
+
d d 2 2 c f where, r = Fresnel zone radius in meters c = 3x108 m/s, speed of light f = operating frequency of the devices in Hz d1 & d2 = the distances between the point and the devices in meters For example, assume d1 is 2km, d2 is 8km, and f is 2.4GHz, then r would be 14.142m. Considering a toleration of 40%, allowable radius would be 8.485m. Assume h is 10m, then the result of the minimum mounting height based on this point would be 18.485m. Similarly, calculate the results based on all the points where there are obstacles, and the maximum value would be the final result. For more information, please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_zone 14 Q3. How can I use Spectrum Analysis to find the appropriate channel for the devices?
1. Log in to PharOS, on the 'WIRELESS' page, you can find the 'Spectrum Analysis' button as shown in the figure below. Click the button. 2. The following window will pop up. Click 'Yes' and you will then get into the Spectrum Analysis page. 3. Select the 'Frequency Range' and click the 'Start' button, the PharOS will begin to analyze the power of the frequency. Watch the curves for a period of time, and then click 'Stop'. Mark the relatively low and continuous part of the average curve, and note the corresponding frequency range. Here we take the figure below as an example. 15 4. Close the Spectrum Analysis Window, and then you will get back to the Wireless page. For the Channel/Frequency option, it is recommended to select a value whose frequency is within the noted frequency range. So, in this example, the recommended Channel/Frequency is 116/5580MHz. 16 FCC STATEMENT This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
