Mounting kit - universal assembling kit for mounting the ODU on standard pole, wall or thick pipe (vertical/horizontal).
Quanta 5 4 Planning considerations During link planning such factors as distance, obstacles and the link margin should be taken into account. We strongly recommend to use the InfiPLANNER tool for link planning. 4.1 InfiPLANNER InfiPLANNER is a link planning tool, which allows to design networks using InfiNet Wireless devices for optimal deployment and cost effectiveness. It performs different scenarios based on geography, distance, antenna height, transmit power, device models and other factors.
Quanta 5 Neighboring buildings. Trees. Bridges. Power lines. To obtain the best results, it is necessary to perform a precise analysis of the signal propagation path and possible obstructions that may cover the 1st Fresnel zone. NOTE More detailed information about radio signal propagation is available at "Wireless Networking Fundamentals" online course. 4.
Quanta 5 Try to keep the LOS clear of obstructions. In case of installations over vegetation and forest, make sure the direct LOS stays above the trees; in urban environments - above the tallest buildings along the radio path. The influence of trees can be variable, depending on seasons (ice, dew, leaves). Keep in mind that, during spring and summer, leaves can absorb high levels of radio energy.
Quanta 5 NOTE Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Quanta 5 6.3 Mounting 6.3.1 //
Quanta 5 You acknowledge the regulations imposed by the Regulatory Authority for Communications in your country for the radio spectrum to be used. You chose known locations for the installation of the links; although InfiNet Wireless devices can also operate in Near-LoS or Non-LoS conditions, to achieve the best performance, it's highly recommended to install the link in locations where Clear-Line-ofSite and clear channels are available.
Quanta 5 6.3.2 Quanta 5 Installation Pro cedure 1. In case of device with external antenna. Prepare RF cables of the required length, recommended maximal length is 1 meter. Install and isolate the connectors on the RF cable. CAUTION In order to prevent device damage make sure that antenna is connected to both N-type connectors with serviceable RF cables before switching on . 2. Install ODU connector facing down using the MONT-KIT-85.
Quanta 5 6.4 Grounding and Lightning Protection This section describes factors to be considered when planning the proposed link end sites, including grounding, lightning protection and equipment location for the wireless device, power supply and AUX-ODU-LPU-G unit (if installed). CAUTION Electro-magnetic discharge (lightning) damage is not covered under warranty. The recommendations in this document, when followed correctly, give the user the best protection from the harmful effects of EMD.
Quanta 5 6.4.1 Grounding and lightning protection recommendations The wireless device should be placed on the pole at a height that is at least 1 meter below the top of the pole. In this case, there is a significant probability that the lightning strikes the pole and not the wireless device. The pole should be properly grounded: connected to the building lightning protection circuit according to your local regulations.
Quanta 5 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. The purpose of the LPU at the bottom is to protect the IDU and customer equipment.

Please note that the following settings must be equal for "master" and "slave" unit to establish the radio link: Center frequency - there are two ways: Manually via "Downlink center frequency" and "Uplink center frequency" parameters. In this case wireless link will be setup at once. Automatically with "Automatic selection of center frequency" function.
Quanta 5 Parameter Description Independent UL/DL center frequencies Units may transmit on diffrerent center frequencies. Enabled - uplink and downlink frequencies can be set to different values. Disabled - uplink and downlink frequencies will be the same. NOTE Downlink - the direction from Master to Slave, Uplink - the direction from Slave to Master. These directions are correct for the whole link and do not depend on the roles of the devices.

Quanta 5 7.5.3 Automatic modulation and transmit power control Parameter Description AMC strategy There are following AMC strategies available: Normal - represents a balance between the error rate and throughput values. Conservative - assumes using higher CINR thresholds in order to minimize the error rate. Agressive - lowers the thresholds in order to use higher modulation levels and thus increase the throughput. Disabled - disables automatic modulation control.
Quanta 5 7.5.4 Frequency channel grids The frequency grid allows to limit the scan range in case the center frequency is automatically selected. Also Instant DFS will use these restrictions when monitoring the noise situation. Narrow grid of available frequencies speeds up scanning and link establishing process. Manual center frequency selection will also be limited to the values indicated in the grid. 7.

Quanta 5 The SNMP Protocol has two branches, the agent and the management stations: The agent sends data to the management station. Monitoring system - provides data gathering from all agents in the network. The monitoring system receives and processes events. The information is passed through requests and replies with the use of the MIB. The management station or monitoring system is responsible for decoding the SNMP packets and providing an interface to the administrator.
Quanta 5 Parameter Description Enabled Enable/disable the SNMP service in the device. Contact person A reference information about the device owner. Location The geographical location where the unit is installed, used as a reference information about the physical device’s location. SNMP v1/v2c Enabled Enable/disable the SNMP v.1 and v.2c support. The first version of the SNMP protocol lacks security, that hinders its use for network management, so SNMP v.1 and v.2c operates in read-only mode.
Quanta 5 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. 2. No access to the remote unit . 3. Expected throughput is not met . 4. No data is being transferred . 5. Unit management is lost .
Quanta 5 8.1 1.No access to the local unit Step 1: Local unit check Check the network connectivity between the monitoring server and the local unit. If no connectivity appear, go on site to the local unit location. Check if it is powered on, power indicator has three possible states: red – the power is on, yellow – 10/100 Mbps wired connection, green – 1000 Mbps wired connection. If there is no power supply please check the AC power supply, the Ethernet cables and connector.
Quanta 5 Step 1: Local unit check Check if the radio parameters values of the local unit correspond to the settings from the radio planning stage: Unit role. Center frequency. Channel width. Maximum transmit power. Frame length. Guard interval. Link ID. Access key. If some parameters have different values, perform the modifications and check the wireless link establishment after unit reboot.
Quanta 5 In case the wireless link is down even if the parameters were set according with the radio planning results, go on site to the location of the remote unit. Check if it is powered on, power indicator has three possible states: red – the power is on, yellow – 10/100 Mbps wired connection, green – 1000 Mbps wired connection. If there is no power supply please check the AC power supply, the Ethernet cables and connector. Check the RF cables state, in case of devices with external antennas are used.
Quanta 5 8.3 3. Expected throughput is not met The wireless link is established but the capacity is less than expected. Step 1: Local and remote units settings check Login to both units via web interface, check the availability of the new firmware version. If a newer firmware version is available, proceed with the firmware upgrade in order to benefit of the latest radio features and improvements.
Quanta 5 8.4 4. No data is being transferred The wireless link is established but no data is being transffered. Step 1: Local and remote units settings check Connect to the unit web interface and check the matrix connectivity in the "Switch" section, ge0 port must be connected with the radio port. Check the operation status of the ge0 port. Enable the port if it was disabled.
