Tip
Make a loop on the Ethernet cable indoors near the PoE to
allow water to drain more easily from the cable, before
reaching the PoEs unprotected Ethernet connector!
Connect the PoE port marked ”P+DATA OUT” to the Trinity-300
unit using an outdoor-rated Cat5E Ethernet cable. The PoE port
marked ”DATA IN’ should be connected to user supplied net-
work equipment such as a switch or router.
Note
The Trinity-300 unit will boot as soon as the Ethernet
cable from the PoE is connected!
1.8 Finalizing the installation
Once both units are mounted they need to be aligned for proper
operation. The Trinity-300 system assists you in doing this using
external visual signals and a web interface that shows detailed
information about the link status and its signal strength.
Configuration
The Trinity-300 units come with default settings and need to be
configured before connecting to each other. For optimal
throughput you are recommended to accurately configure the
distance between the units using the web interface on the
master unit.
You should also modify the IP-configuration on both
units to reflect your network setup.
Alignment
Make sure the units are roughly aligned using visual sight or a
compass before proceeding with this step. On site A (or B),
slowly move the antenna towards site B (or A). Use one of the
alignment tools to find the optimal alignment.
External visual indication
The LED (if enabled) indicates the current signal strength with a
set of pulses followed by a short pause.
Note
The alignment LED is enabled by default.
