Installing the Link CX
40000
This chapter describes the physical installation of the Link CX. Each Link CX consists of an outdoor
pole-mounted radio with integral antenna or optional external antenna. If so equipped, the Link CX radio
is connected to the external antenna with a factory-supplied coaxial cable.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Section 4-1, Before Installing, includes general guidelines, equipment unpacking, inventory
and tools
• Section 4-2, Initial Configuration, includes all the steps necessary to configure the Link CX
radio before mounting it (and its optional external antenna) on the pole
• Section 4-3, Mounting the Link CX, includes steps for installing the Link CX (and its optional
external antenna) on the pole
• Section 4-4, External Antenna Installation (Optional), includes optional external antenna
installation steps
• Section 4-5, Completing the Link CX Installation, describes installed Link CX cabling and
grounding
• Section 4-6, Aligning the Antenna, includes Link CX antenna alignment steps
• Section 4-7, Acceptance Testing, includes Link CX acceptance tests
This chapter describes initial configuration and installation of the Link CX hardware. After completing
this chapter, the installer should proceed to Chapter Five to perform a final configuration on the Link CX
radio after hardware installation.
For faster installation, make sure you have a filled-out copy of the Radio
Link Planning Worksheet from Chapter Three before continuing with
the rest of this chapter.
This device must be professionally installed.
