This chapter discusses how to install your LibraPlus equipment. There are four general
tasks that you will need to perform when you install your LibraPlus. They are:
1. Conf iguring your LibraPlus
2. Installing your LibraPlus
3. Mounting the antenna, if the equipment uses a separate antenna
4. Cabling the LibraPlus
Please review the Pre-installation chapter before you begin installing
your LibraPlus equipment.
6.1
Connecting the Ethernet Cable
Before mounting your LibraPlus, either on a pole or a wall temporarily connect an
Ethernet cable between the unit and your computer’s Ethernet port. This is to allow
you to configure your LibraPlus Radio.
If connecting the LibraPlus directly to a laptop or PC, a crossover Ethernet cable is
required.
6.2
Mounting Conditions
The six (6) general LibraPlus mounting scenarios are:
1. pole mount, external antenna (ER)
2. wall mount, external antenna (ER)
3. pole mount, integrated antenna, vertical polarization (RD)
4. wall mount, integrated antenna, vertical polarization (RD)
5. pole mount, integrated antenna, horizontal polarization (RD)
6. wall mount, integrated antenna, horizontal polarization (RD)
6.3
External Antenna Mounting
If you are mounting your LibraPlus using an external antenna, you will not have to
concern yourself with the polarization of the antenna. In this instance, attach the
mounting bracket unit anchor to the side of the unit housing as shown in the figure
below.
