Therefore, let's take the units to be used for this course out of the package and place them on the table.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 5.2 Step 2: Access to the device Let's access each unit to the default IP address 10.10.10.1 with mask 255.255.255.0 via a web browser. Before, make sure the Ethernet port of the Laptop has an IP address assigned from the same subnetwork as the one for the unit (e.g., set 10.10.10.10 with mask 255.255.255.0). NOTE We assume that each unit used in this setup has not been configured before and runs with the factory settings.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 Go to the "Settings" → "Security" section and configure: • Login (e.g., admin). • Password (e.g., admin). NOTE At the next login, type "admin" for the Login and Password (if these are the credentials set before) to access the unit in the privileged mode. 5.3 Step 3: Firmware upgrade Let's upgrade each unit to the latest stable firmware version.

In order to avoid ODU failure due to moisture entering the device, for example, during the pressure drop during the rain, the cable gland assembly requirements should be met and there are should be no cracks in the Ethernet cable jacket.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 General recommendations for installations of lightning protection units: • Install the lightning protection unit on both ends of the cable to protect both the outdoor and the indoor unit. The purpose of the LPU at the top is to protect the ODU from a surge of lightning strike which can hit the long FTP cable run along the height of the pole or on the roof of the building.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 14 Figure - AUX-ODU-LPU-L Mounting During AUX-ODU-LPU-L mounting it is necessary to provide a small loop of the FTP cable that should be below the cable gland. This ensures that water is not constantly channeled towards the connector. It will also serve as a cable compensation for the cable linear expansion as the temperature difference result.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 6.4.2.2 AUX-ODU-LPU-L Cable Ggland Assembly In order to ensure that the cable gland remains sealed under any environmental conditions, please, follow the assembly sequence according to the procedure below: • Step 1: Insert the sealing insert into the clamping claw. • Step 2: Assemble the cable gland by putting the thread-lock sealing nut, clamping claw with sealing insert and body onto the cable as shown on the figure.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 • Regularly (especially before the periods with high thunderstorm activity) check the integrity of lightning protection units, grounding elements and bonding conductors. Make sure to install the two LPU devices in the correct polarity, as shown in the diagram: • Top LPU with "ETH OUT" facing the ODU. • Bottom LPU with "ETH OUT" facing the IDU. • LPU units connected to each other via "ETH IN".
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 18 Figure - AUX-ODU-LPU-G Mounting During AUX-ODU-LPU-G mounting it is necessary to provide a small loop of the FTP Cat5e cable that should be below the cable gland.

Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 8 Troubleshooting This lesson describes basic troubleshooting actions to be taken in case a problem occurs to the wireless link. List of possible problems: • • • • • 1.No access to the local unit(see page 97) 2. Wireless link is not established(see page 103) 3. The wireless link is established, but there is no access to the remote device(see page 106) 4. The wireless link throughput is lower than expected(see page 108) 5.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 If there is no power, it is necessary to check the power supply, connectors, the Ethernet cables integrity. 8.1.3 Access to the unit recovery If the power indicator is on and there is connection via the Ethernet interface, connect to the device directly as it is shown in the scheme below. Make sure that the IP address of the PC is in the same subnet as the IP address of the device.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 Before starting the access restoring procedure, it is recommended to install the following software: • ERConsole: ftp://ftp.infinet.ru/pub/Utils/EmergenceRepairConsole/ERConsole.zip. • Java Runtime Environment: http://www.java.com/en/download/. Turn off any anti-virus or firewall running on your computer. If no device can be discovered by ERConsole, turn on the firewall, and add an UDP connection port 10009 as an exception .
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 IP-address assigning To assign new IP address make the following steps: • • • • Click the «+» button in the ERConsole application and a new window will appear. Set the additional IP-address and network mask, then click "OK". Turn off and on the Infinet unit. Wait for about 30 seconds until the "Complete" sign will uppear. Add an IP-address from the same network subnet to your PC and access the unit.
Infinet Wireless: Technical Documentation – Quanta 5 / Quanta 6 In the "Wired interface" section, you can monitor the Ethernet interface status and its traffic load for reception and transmission. The wired interface statistics is on the right side and can be reset by clicking the "Clear counters" button.
