FAQs

1. What is the recommended installation height of BaseStation and CPE?

The recommended installation height for the BaseStation depends on the distance between the BaseStation
and the CPE, as shown in the following table.

CPE devices do not necessarily need to be installed at the same height as the BaseStation. Instead, alignment
between the CPE and the BaseStation is crucial. In a Point-to-Multi-Point (PTMP) scenario, you are advised to
install all CPE devices at the same horizontal height.

You are advised to initially pair both the AP (NVR) and CPE in the office before bringing them to the installation
site for installation.

Recommended Installation Height

Distance Between BaseStation and CPE
(Above the Obstacle)

500 m (0.13 mi.) 2.6 m (8.53 ft.)

1 km (0.62 mi.) 3.5 m (11.48 ft.)

2 km (1.24 mi.) 5.2 m (17.06 ft.)

3 km (1.86 mi.) 6.3 m (20.67 ft.)

4 km (2.49 mi.) 7.3 m (23.95 ft.)

10 km (6.21 mi.) 11.6 m (38.06 ft.)

11 km (6.84 mi.) 12 m (39.37 ft.)

12 km (7.46 mi.) 12.8 m (41.99 ft.)

13 km (8.08 mi.) 13.3 m (43.64 ft.)

14 km (8.70 mi.) 13.8 m (45.28 ft.)

15 km (9.32 mi.) 14.3 m (46.92 ft.)

2. Does the configured distance in WDS configuration need to match the actual deployment distance?

The configured distance in WDS configuration is crucial for bridging efficiency. A shorter configured distance
results in a quicker response time for the device to receive an ACK message, indicating successful bridging.
Therefore, the configured distance in WDS configuration should not be set lower than the actual deployment
distance.

36
Implementation Cookbook Installing the Wireless Bridge

3. Can I use a third-party cable (RF cable) to connect the antenna to the wireless bridge? How should it
be installed, and what is the recommended maximum length?

You can use a third-party RF cable to connect the antenna to the wireless bridge. The cable length should not
exceed 20 cm. When installing the third-party cable, follow the same procedure as for the original cable.

4. If the installation site experiences frequent wind causing the device to shake and impacting bridge
performance, what measures should be taken?

Wireless bridges should not be installed in locations prone to strong winds. If the device is being affected by
frequent shaking due to wind, consider adding windshields or reinforcing the installation base to improve stability.

4 Managing the Wireless Bridges

PTP Scenario
Pressing the WPS button on device will automatically put the bridge into the base station mode, and initiate
bridging with other Reyee bridges in their initial state. Besides, you can configure the PTP bridge group via
following steps.

Logging In to the Wireless Bridge

(1) Power on the wireless bridge.

First, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the PoE port of the PoE injector, and the other end into a
LAN port of the wireless bridge. Then, connect the LAN port of the PoE injector to a server or camera using
an Ethernet cable.

Second, connect the PoE adapter to the DC port of the PoE injector or connect the PoE adapter to a DC
port of the device, and then plug one end of the cable to the LAN port of the device and plug the other end
to a server or camera.

(2) Select the SSID of the wireless bridge.

The default SSID for device management is @Ruijie-bXXXX. XXXX is the last four digits of the MAC

Configuring TDMA Mode

Note

TDMA Mode is supported on RG- AirMetro550G-B, RG- AirMetro460F and RG- AirMetro460G only.

Application Scenario

Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is specifically designed to address the challenge of CPE nodes being
hidden from each other over long distances. In the traditional Wi-Fi mechanism utilizing Carrier Sense Multiple
Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD), the nodes are unable to listen to each other, leading to significant
performance degradation. With the TDMA mode enabled, the traffic of each node remains unaffected by long
distances, ensuring high performance.

Procedure

Choose Wireless > TDMA.

1. Flexible mode
The flexible mode is the default TDMA mode. When enabled, it employs an algorithm to automatically calculate
the necessary time slots for each CPE or BaseStation. Additionally, the ratio between BaseStation and CPE is
dynamically adjusted to optimize uplink and downlink traffic for maximum efficiency.

59
Implementation Cookbook Advanced Configurations

2. Fixed mode
The fixed mode is designed for scenarios that require traffic balance, consistent latency, and consistent uplink
and downlink throughput for each node. By utilizing fix intervals (such as 5 ms, 8 ms, and 10 ms), the duration
of each frame can be fixed to achieve a consistent latency. In terms of the uplink and downlink throughput, you
can set the uplink and downlink ratio accordingly. Currently, there are five ratios available: 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:1, and
3:1, which can be selected from the provided drop-down menu.

3. Expert mode

61
Implementation Cookbook Maintenance

Caution

The expert mode is designed for situations where a specific node requires a dedicated and fixed time slot,
unaffected by algorithm adjustments. In this mode, the desired time slot can be set by the customer. However,
it is important to note that the expert mode is not recommended for general customers and should only be
configured by individuals with relevant professional knowledge. Incorrect configuration in this mode may result
in the device failing to go online.

Faults and Solutions

Fault 1: The CPE has slow connection speed in WISP scenario.

Solutions:

1. You are advised to conduct a speed test using a local speed test server. If you choose to use an online speed
test tool like Speedtest, ensure that the uplink speed of the bridge is stable before proceeding with the test.

2. Refer to the Test Data of RG-Airmetro Wireless Bridges (experimental environment) to compare the CPE
speed with the values provided in the table.

3. If the CPE speed is much lower than the data in the table, then check the RSSI of the CPE on the WDS

Group Info page. A signal strength greater than –70 dB indicates a normal signal strength. Please check the 1.

estimated number of cameras that can be supported.

69
Implementation Cookbook Maintenance

To change channels, click on the target channels, and then click Change Channel. A pop-up window is displayed.
Click OK.

Optimizing the Radio Channel

(1) Channel settings

Choose Wireless > WDS > Channel & Transmit Power > 5G Channel.

70
Implementation Cookbook Maintenance

The default channel is Auto, indicating automatic channel adaption based on the surrounding environment
upon power-on. Choose the optimal channel identified through the above analysis. Click Save to activate
settings immediately. Excess STAs connected to a channel can bring stronger wireless interference.

The camera mode does not support independent channel settings. After the channel at the NVR end is adjusted,
the camera end automatically changes its channel to be the same as the NVR end.

Note

The available channel is related to the country/region code. Select the local country or region.
The above figure provides guidance on 5 GHz channel configuration. Take the same steps for 2.4 GHz
channel configuration. The single-radio (2.4 GHz) device does not support 5 GHz configuration.

71
Implementation Cookbook Maintenance

Caution

After the channel is changed, the NVR will be reconnected to the camera. Therefore, exercise caution when
performing this operation.

(2) One-click optimization

Choose Wireless > WDS > Optimize WDS.

Click Optimize WDS so that the device automatically selects the channel again based on the interference
in the current environment, ensuring that the device works in the optimal channel. You are advised to
optimize WDS when the original channel is not the optimum.

Caution

After you click Optimize WDS, the NVR will be reconnected to the camera. Therefore, exercise caution when
performing this operation.

Optimizing the Channel Width

Choose Wireless > WDS > Channel & Transmit Power > Channel Width.

If the interference is severe, choose a lower channel width to avoid network stalling. A 5 GHz bridge supports
channel widths of 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 80 MHz, while a 2.4 GHz bridge supports channel widths of 20 MHz
and 40 MHz. The network is stable when the channel width is smaller. A larger channel width is more susceptible
to interference. The default channel width of a 2.4 GHz bridge is 20 MHz (recommended configuration). The
default channel width of a 5 GHz bridge is 40 MHz (recommended configuration). After changing the channel
width, click Save to activate settings immediately.

Caution

After the channel width is changed, the NVR will be reconnected to the camera. Therefore, exercise caution
when performing this operation.

72
Implementation Cookbook Maintenance

Optimizing the Transmit Power

Choose Wireless > WDS > Channel & Transmit Power > Transmit Power.

Greater transmit power indicates larger coverage and brings stronger interference to surrounding wireless
devices. The default value is Auto, indicating automatic adjustment of the transmit power. In a scenario in which
wireless devices are installed densely, a lower power is recommended. Low, Medium, and High indicate 50%,
75%, and 100% power, respectively.

Configuring the Distance

Choose Wireless > WDS > Channel & Transmit Power > Distance.

It is recommended that the configured distance between the NVR and camera be greater than their actual
distance. If the configured distance is much smaller than the actual distance, the wireless performance will
deteriorate, and WDS connection may fail.
