4.0 Site Preparation
Prior to beginning physical installation of the Tel-Link PMP equipment, the Site preparation work should be
complete. Site preparation includes but is not limited to the following:
• Completed Site Survey Checklist (P-COM highly recommends the use and completion of the
Site Survey Checklist located in Appendix B)
• System Configuration Document Specification
The criteria below should be evaluated prior to designating Remote to Sector terminal RF paths with the
use of Site Surveys and Link Budgets:
• An unobstructed line-of-sight
• Be within range (distance separation) with respect to the desired operational parameters (i.e.,
rain, region, availablity, modulation type, bit error rate performance, etc.)
• Be within the antenna beamwidth
NOTE: P-COM highly recommends a blower or fan be used with an enclosed rack containing three
or more IDUs.
The IDU is designed to be installed in a 19-inch equipment rack or enclosed cabinet in a location that is:
• Dry, clean and well ventilated
• Easily accessible
• Within 600 feet (with CAT-5 cable) of subsequent Customer Premise Equipment (CPE)
• Within 1000 feet of the ODU when using LMR-400 or equivalent Coaxial cable
• Compliant with all environmental specifications
4.1 ODU/Antenna Installation Preparation
Verify the location selected has the following characteristics:
• Space on pole is adequate for mounting the antenna and ODU.
• Verify the pole for the ODU/Antenna assembly is installed in the location identified on the Site
Survey Checklist.
• Verify the pole has been securely installed and is grounded per local code.
