2. Installation
2.1 Overview
The cabinet and rack-mount housing the Paragon-III’s radio assembly and the BDLC-III 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 mo-
dem, and host PC or portable computer. Details of these are outside the scope of this manual. This
manual covers the radio assembly and the BDLC-III that includes the modem.
2.2 Location
Be sure to place the Paragon-III in such a way that:
• The LEDs can be seen (as an aid in troubleshooting)
• Access to the antenna connector and to the back connectors is possible without removing the unit
• Sufficient air may flow around the unit to provide adequate cooling.
