Configuration Essentials to Establish a Wireless Link

Chapter 3 Configuration

This section describes how to establish a basic wireless link between the MU and the RU, using the Browser (HTTP) Interface. This section addresses only the most basic steps in establishing a link in the lab, or a bench-top environment. It is highly recommended that you read the other sections of this manual to gain an understanding of all important configuration parameters and procedures prior to deploying any wireless equipment.

In this section you will:

•Learn about MU and RU Basic Configuration Screens and Parameters

•Enter RU’s MAC address in the MU

•Configure Other Basic MU Parameters

•Configure Basic RU Parameters

•Establish a Wireless Link

•Evaluate Link Quality

The TrangoLINK-10 uses the concept of “association” to indicate that the MUs and RUs are communicating. If all parameters are properly set, the RU will begin “listening” on each channel & polarization for an MU with its MAC address programmed. Once an active MU is detected, the authentication and association process will begin.

Essentials to Establish a Wireless Link

•RU Mac Address must be programmed into the MU

•MU & RU must be in Opmode “ON”

If both of these parameters are met, and if the MU and RU are within range and properly aligned, the wireless link will automatically establish itself and Ethernet traffic will begin to pass between the radios.

Note: This section utilizes the Browser Interface as the configuration tool. For the equivalent CLI commands, see Appendix A.

Master Unit Configuration

Open a browser session with the MU and click the configuration link.
