11. Begin to tighten the mounting bolts. It is important to tighten the bolts in the
following order. First start with the bolts that control the left/right movement of the
radio. These are the bolts on the yoke portion of the mount behind the radio. Start by
tightening the bolt closest to the pole or wall. Once this is tightened, move to the bolt
directly in front of the bolt you just tightened and slowly tighten this bolt. While
tightening the bolts be careful that the radio does not move during the process. As
these bolts are tightened up/down movement of the radio may occur due to the seating
of the mounting bracket and radio yoke. Check the RSL voltage reading to ensure it is
still at its maximum level, and adjust vertical tilt if required. Next, tighten the bolts
that allow the up/down movement of the radio. First tighten the lower bolts on both
sides of the yoke bracket. Once the lower bolts are tightened on both sides of the
radio, tighten the upper bolts.
12. Connect the fiber cable to one of the radios at a time. The fibers should already be
connected to active network equipment.
13. Verify the Fiber LED’s on each radio are lit solid.
Note: The fiber integrity indication on the network equipment could show up or
down independent of the link status. Ones the radio link is up and network
equipment connected on both sides of the link the network equipment will
indicate fiber integrity.
14. Once the fiber is connected to the radio, the radio will begin an internal link
calibration. During this time the Link Up LED will blink for approximately 30
seconds.
15. Wait until the Link Up LED will be lit solid on both radios.
16. Verify the Link Quality voltage is 3.3V (i.e., error free). Repeat steps 10-12 for the
second radio.
Note: When a radio is power cycled, it will re-execute the calibration process.
After this time, the link should be functioning. This automatic calibration process
is also activated if the link is down for more than 50 seconds. Also, if using a loop
back fiber connector at one end of the link for test purposes, note that the radio
connected to actual network equipment must complete auto calibration prior to
connecting the loop back cable at the other end.
17. Remove the VAT from the radio, replace the back plastic cover and use a wrench
to tighten the back cover nut to the point where the back cover stops (i.e., when it hits
the metal ring on the back metal plate). The installation is now complete.
