Trango Broadband M2400S user manual Radio Management Concepts, Wiring Diagram

Getting Started

•Connect a Cat-5 (straight through) Ethernet cable (we recommend shielded twisted pair) between the Radio port of the J-box and the RJ-45 connector on the radio. Note: this cable will carry power-over- Ethernet (PoE).

•NETWORK port connection is as follows:

If connecting to a COMPUTER, use a Cross-Over Ethernet cable from the NETWORK 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.

•Use Ground Lug to ground PoE device and shielded CAT5.

•Use voltmeter contacts to check line voltage (can be done with or without load).

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 remotely over the network via TCP/IP. 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 their wireless connection. Likewise, computers connected to the SU can manage the AP, provided that switch 7 (TCP/IP access to AP from SU) is enabled on the AP. Switches will be covered later in this text.
