Chapter 4 - Performing Outdoor Testing Learning Link Status/Antenna Alignment Procedure
Alvarion BreezeNET B130/B300 GigE 42 Quick Start Guide
4.1 Learning Link Status/Antenna Alignment
Procedure
In order to install the equipment, please do the following:
1 Install ODU and antenna at the roof top/mast etc. Connect ODU and antenna
using RF cable. If the link is just for testing usage make sure that it is not
going to rain or snow (because in this case you do not have to seal the
connectors).
2 Even in test link it is highly recommended to provide all grounding. Ground
the ODU to the mast/building grounding contour.
3 Usually when installing ODU at the top, the ODU-IDU service cable is already
connected to the ODU.
4 Connect ODU-IDU cable to IDU indoors.
5 Provide IDU grounding to the LAN grounding contour.
6 Connect power cable to IDU and plug this cable into the power socket.
Once the power is switched on, you can access the unit via Telnet (all necessary
configuration steps were already taken in the lab).
It will take several seconds for units to establish the connection. After this period
of time you can check the link status by using "mint map" command.
If it turns out that during some significant period of time (1 minute) there is no
link, several reasons may be the cause:
Link fade margin is not sufficient to handle the connection
Antenna alignment procedure is required in order to establish the connection
Units are not configured properly
Installation is made not according to the manual
Even if registration has occurred but signal levels are not enough antenna
alignment procedure is strongly recommended.
In both cases (whether there is a link or not) antenna alignment procedure is
recommended.
