WARNING:

The document is intended to be used by qualified RF engineers/technicians

and IT professionals. Qualified personnel should have skills and experience

in the following areas: outdoor/indoor radio equipment installation, outdoor

wireless networks, TCP/IP networking protocols, safety procedures and

instructions for installing antenna equipment, professional manage of

electrical equipment and accessories, safety procedures and instructions for

working on towers and heights.

WARNING:

The warranty is not spread for the devices which stopped working properly

due to improper usage, careless treatment, incorrect deployment or

exploitation. The warranty voids in the following cases: the device was

opened and/or repaired by the owner on his own, improper exploitation

conditions (including improper grounding), electrical damaging of the print

circuit board due to electric disruption caused by improper grounding,

mechanical defects of the case.

Installation Preparations

Components and accessories required for installation.

• Indoor Unit (IDU)

• Outdoor Unit (ODU)

• Service cable for IDU-to-ODU connection. Service cable should be STP (or FTP) Category

5E cable. The total cable length between LAN equipment (behind IDU) and ODU should

not be longer than 100 meters.

• One shielded and one unshielded RJ-45 connectors for service cable

• Ethernet cable for connecting IDU to LAN equipment (use a straight for connection to a

hub/switch or a cross-over cable for connecting directly to a computer)

Peel the STP Service cable removing a small piece of its external jacket to free the internal wires. 2. Put connector parts on the Service cable. 3. Attach RJ-45 connector to the Service cable according to the “RJ-45” soldering scheme and crimp the connector. WARNING: 4. Please tightly crimp the RJ45 connector.

Install the antenna in the appropriate location (see antenna alignment instructions below). Antenna’s position must be lower than the highest antenna pole point at least by 2 antenna heights. Point the antenna to the required direction. Provide antenna grounding. (In case of using ODU with external antenna). Connect RF cable to the antenna. Twist the connector tightly. Seal the connector.

Connect Service cable to IDU previously having touched IDU connector case with Service cable connector case for removing static electricity on the IDU. WARNING: 10. 11. 12. 13. Connect UTP-cable with KEYED RJ-45 connectors ONLY to “ODU” port on the IDU. Do NOT try to connect it to “LAN” port, it will damage Keyed RJ-45 connector or IDU’s port. Connect Ethernet cable to IDU. Connect power cord to IDU.

To learn your device’s radio module capabilities type the command: rfconfig rf5.0 capabilities. Set one unit as Master (mint rf5.0 –type master) and the other one as Slave (mint rf5.0 – type slave) so that the units can establish a connection with each other. IMPORTANT: Choose the frequency attentively. The frequency should be the one your radio link is working on.

Grounding Antenna should be placed on the mast on the level that is at least 1 meter lower than a mast’s top. In this case it is of big probability that the lightning strikes the mast and not the antenna. The mast is to be grounded on the grounding contour according to your local standards.

Once the antenna alignment is not complete it is not recommended to perform sealing. This prevents you to remove the sealing when there is a need to reallocate the antenna or the cable. The isolation using the waterproof tape is performed by its winding with intersection around the connection.
