Hardware Connection
1. Site Consideration

• Mounting Height
Ensure a clear line of sight between the wireless devices for an optimum
performance. 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.

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 1 ), you can effectively
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 ).
The following introduction takes CPE520 as an example.




  Two Methods:
                                                                                   CPE

FAQ
Q1. How to restore the CPE to its factory default
    settings?
   With the CPE powered on, press and hold the RESET button on the
   CPE or the Remote Reset button on the passive PoE adapter for
   about 8 seconds until the Wireless Signal Strength LEDs flash.
   Method 1:
   The following picture takes CPE520 as an example.




                                            RESET Button
                                            Press & hold for about 8
                                            seconds

   Method 2:




                      Remote Reset Button
                      Press & hold for about 8 seconds

                                                                       15


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 h+r*(1 40%)                                             h = the height of
                                                                obstacle at this point
      (H is the height of the CPE)




                                          where,
             d1 × d 2 c
     r=              ⋅                    r = Fresnel zone radius in meters
             d1 + d 2 f
                                          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.

Q3. 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 efficiency.
    • Lower latency, higher throughput, larger network capacity &
      more stability.
    • Improves the QoS for video, voice and sound data stream.
    By dividing the timing of transmission into different time slots,
    MAXtream allows the Pharos devices to transmit in rapid
    succession, one after another, each using its own time slot to
    transmit and receive their own frames, which greatly reduces the
    chance of collision.
    Pharos MAXtream is a non-standard Wi-Fi protocol that is only
    compatible with TP-Link’s Pharos series products. Please notice
    that you will not be able to connect other Wi-Fi devices to an AP with
    MAXtream enabled.


Q4. How can I use Spectrum Analysis to find the
    appropriate channel for the devices?
  1. Log in to PharOS, click Spectrum Analysis in the tools drop-down
     list, a window will pop up to remind you that all wireless connections
     will be lost during spectrum analysis. Click Yes to continue to the
     Spectrum Analysis page.




  2. Click Start, the PharOS will begin to analyze the power of
     frequency. Observe the curves for a period of time, and then
     click Stop. Note that the relatively low and continuous part of the

                                                                           17


     average curve indicates less radio noise. Here, we use the figure
     below as an example.




         CPE510 and CPE520 have a select box of Frequency Range at the
         top-left corner. Select the required range and then click Start.

     When choosing channel/frequency, you should avoid the spectrum
     with large radio noise. In this example, the recommended channel/
     frequency is 1/2412MHz.
