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 the front facing the intended signal receiving devices. You can orient the devices with the assistance of Google Maps, GPS and some landmarks according to the horizontal beamwidth listed below.

l e d o M LAN0 POE LAN Ethernet cable length up to 60m You should prepare an adequate Ethernet cable to connect the CPE and the passive PoE adapter. Shielded CAT5e (or above) cable with ground wire is recommended
(refer to the next section). Connect to a computer, router or switch.
(Depending on your intended usage and/or network topology.) Slide to replace the cover of the CPE when all connections are fi nished. 5 At the selected site, approximately align the CPE to the direction that you have oriented. 3. Lightning & ESD Protection Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices. By using shielded CAT5e (or above) cable with ground wire for the connection and the provided PoE adapter (method ), you can eff ectively eliminate ESD attacks. If you use the general CAT5e cable for the connection, then it is necessary to connect the grounding terminal of the CPE to earth ground through grounding cable (method ).2 1 Two Methods:

Logging into the 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 fi gure below. 8 2. Open your web browser, type 'http://192.168.0.254' in the address fi eld 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 fi rst 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 as shown in the fi gure below. 10 2. Configuration for Typical Applications This section introduces the configurations for the point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and hotspot applications. Refer to the section corresponding to your networking needs. Point-to-Point Point-to-Point application is used to build a transparent bridge between two locations which are far from each other. The figure shown below is an example for this application. Computer IP camera Access Point LAN: 192.168.0.254 Client LAN: 192.168.0.2 Refer to the following steps to configure the CPEs.

With the CPE powered on, press and hold the 'RESET' button of the CPE or the 'Remote Reset' button of the passive PoE adapter for about 8 seconds until the Wireless Signal Strength LEDs flash. Method 1:
Method 2:
19 RESET Button Press & hold for about 8 seconds Remote Reset Button Press & hold for about 8 seconds Q2. How to calculate the minimum mounting height of the devices?
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 20 Q3. How can I use Spectrum Analysis to fi nd the appropriate channel for the devices?
1. Log in to PharOS, on the 'WIRELESS' page, you can fi nd the
'Spectrum Analysis' button as shown in the fi gure 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 fi gure below as an example. 21 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. Q4. What is Pharos MAXtream?
Pharos MAXtream is a proprietary protocol developed on the basis of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) by TP-LINK. The MAXtream technology has the following advantages:
Eliminates hidden node collisions & improves channel e ciency. Lower latency, higher throughput, larger network capacity & more stability. To enable the MAXtream function among the AP and stations, you only need to select the MAXtream option on the 'WIRELESS' page of the PharOS Web Interface of the AP, shown as the fi gure below. Then the stations will automatically adjust their connections to the AP. Pharos MAXtream is a non-standard Wi-Fi protocol that is only compatible with TP-LINKs Pharos series products. Please notice that you will not be able to connect other Wi-Fi devices to an AP with MAXtream enabled. 22 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.
