STEP 3. TEST RADIOS BACK-TO-BACK 
Before installing the radios, Proxim recommends a back-to-back test of the radio pair. Back-to-back testing is a 
simple way to verify that the radios are fully operational before they are installed. The process of installation 
adds several variables that can lead to system turn-up delays during troubleshooting (such as antenna 
alignment, cabling, and path dynamics). By pre-testing the radios, you reduce the chance of the radios being 
the cause of system turn-up problems, and you can focus on other factors, such as the transmission line, 
antenna alignment, and path clearance. 
Note:  Back-to-back testing must be performed to verify a radio problem before returning any radio to the 
factory for repair.
