2. Installation
2.1 Overview
The cabinet and rack-mount housing the
Paragon
PD
’s radio assembly and the BDLC

is
generally installed in a sheltered facility.
Occasionally located adjacent to the nerve
center of the user’s network, it is often located
near tower sites or at remote locations where it
operates unattended.
Furnishings needed include power, cabling, and
installation of antenna, landline or microwave
modem, and host PC or portable computer. De-
tails of these are outside the scope of this man-
ual. This manual covers the radio assembly and
the BDLC
PD
that includes the modem.
2.2 Location

PD
in such a way
that:
• The LEDs can be seen (as an aid in trouble-
shooting)
• Access to the antenna connector and to the
back connectors is possible without remov-
ing the unit
• Sufficient air may flow around the unit to
provide adequate cooling.
2.3 Electrical
Standard 120 VAC electrical power is required.
It should be capable of providing at least 10A to
power Paragon
PD
(<6A) and ancillary equip-
ment.
