Figure 1 - Front view "Radio Assembly"

4.1 Overview

The cabinet and rack-mount housing the Paragon4’s radio-modem and Power Amplifier 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 mod-

em, and host PC or portable computer. Details of these are outside the scope of this manual. This ma-

nual covers the radio-modem assembly. The power amplifier has its own user manual that is incorpo-

rated by reference at the moment of the order.

4.2 Location

Be sure to place the Paragon4 unit 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.
