Trango Broadband M900S user manual Radio Management Concepts, CAT-5

Getting Started

•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.

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.

Radio Management Concepts

Proper connections to the radios and careful IP/routing & planning will enable the network administrator to access and manage the radios via TCP/IP remotely over the network. Radio management over TCP/IP can be performed from computers connected to the Ethernet side of each radio. Computers connected to the AP can manage the SU over the wireless connection. Computers connected to the SU can manage the AP, provided that switch 7 (TCP/IP for SU) is enabled on the AP. Switches will be covered later in this text.

Opmode

To fully understand radio management of the M900S system, it is important to be familiar with the concept of operation mode or “Opmode.”
