Equipment Installation
(.. /continued)
Tip: Always test all equipment at the workbench before installing them at their final positions.
Example Installations
Figure 4: Typical TRIMAR deployment schematic
Figure 4 above illustrates a common wiring scheme for a TRIMAR radio unit that is physically connected to the network.
A set up like this can be used to connect with another TRIMAR radio in a separate building that is wired similarly to form the basis of a wireless point-to-point bridge. Alternatively, it can be connected wirelessly with TRIMAR repeaters (as shown in Figure 5) to form a larger wireless mesh. In both of these types of operations, the TRIMAR APs need to be configured to operate in WDS mode.
Figure 5: TRIMAR repeater mode schematic
Figure 5 illustrates a TRIMAR radio used as a repeater. In this type of deployment, no physical connection to the network is necessary, all communications is done via the 802.11 wireless connections.
To work in this mode, the TRIMAR radio must be configured using WDS and connected wirelessly to at least one radio that is physically connected to the network being serviced.
