Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Figure 1 Proper Equipment Earthing/Grounding Grounding Be sure to: ■ Use a common ground for everything ■ Ground the radio to the rack Be careful with DC power grounding: ■ Grounding DC supply may create ground loops ■ If DC source is referenced to ground, use DC power and jumper to ground ■ Best if DC source “floats” in case of lightning or other surge Other grounding: ■ Mast ■ Transmission line Chapter 1.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Radio Installation and Configuration Chapter 2. Planning for Installation There are several planning factors to be considered prior to installing the Tsunami or Lynx radio system.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance To maximize link availability, calculate 0.6 times the first Fresnel zone and add this value to path clearance based upon the primary path (in addition to earth curvature, trees, buildings, and so on). The radios will not perform properly unless they have line-of-sight and proper path clearance between their corresponding antennas.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Lp is the Path loss, defined by: Lp (dB) = 96.6 + 20 log10F + 20 log10D where: F is the Frequency of the radio system in GHz (5.8 in the case of this model) D is the Distance of the path in miles The results of this link budget calculation are very important for determining any potential problems during installation.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance As a rule of thumb, do not place opposite frequency plan radios (such as A1 and A2) at the same site. In most cases, you should use the same frequency plan (such as A1 and A1) or, in some cases, a different frequency plan from the same side of the band (such as A1 and B1, when more than one channel plan is available). With careful engineering, you can easily place more than one radio of the same frequency channel plan at the same site.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Planning for Antenna Installation In general, the larger the antenna used with the radio, the better the link performs. Larger antennas have narrower beamwidth and higher gain, which yield better link performance (higher fade margin, better availability) and improve immunity to interference (due to the narrower beamwidths).

Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Reviewing the Installation Process The following is an overview of the installation process to assist you in your planning activities. 1. Test radios back-to-back and configure ■ Use a minimum of 60 dB and no more than 80 dB attenuation and a short low-loss RF transmission line to connect the two radios. ■ Apply power. ■ Verify the RF Link LED is not red.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance 5. Align antennas ■ Rough align antenna azimuth and elevation based upon path planning (using compass bearing or milestone sighting, telescopic sight, binoculars, and so on). ■ Use a Digital Volt Meter (DVM) or headphones/earpiece/speaker to read the radio’s RSL voltage provided on the RFU to peak antennas. º If the RFU is mounted indoors, you may need to temporarily run separate wires from the RSL port to antenna.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance 7. Troubleshooting ■ Most common problems are poor transmission line connector terminations. º Best way to test is a return loss measurement (VSWR). º Basic function can be tested using a continuity and short test with DVM. º The transmission line can be evaluated with a spectrum analyzer connected to the radio through the cable and comparing when spectrum analyzer is connected directly to the radio without the cable.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Radio Installation and Configuration Chapter 3. Installing the Units Mounting the Units Assembling Required Materials The radios are shipped in boxes unless ordered as an integrated system and configured at the factory. In that case, the equipment may be racked and shipped in a crate. The equipment is packaged so as to prevent damage in transit.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Radio Installation and Configuration If the shipping container shows signs of damage, notify the transportation company immediately. Upon receipt, inspect contents to make sure no parts are missing or damaged. You should retain all the packaging materials (including all internal boxes). In the unlikely event that you must return the equipment to the factory, use the original packing materials for return shipment.
Lynx.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Installing the Indoor Unit Rack mounting of the IDU is the ideal configuration. The Lynx and Tsunami radio alternatively can be placed on a tabletop or a cabinet shelf. You should secure the radio system with a strap when not mounted directly to a racking system. For rack mounting, to avoid interference with the RF unit or antenna cables, you should mount the unit at the highest space in a standard 19-inch rack.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance 3. Position the radio in the rack and align the holes in the mounting bracket with the holes in the rack. If you are installing the IDU in a 23-inch rack, you must attach extenders to the rack mounting brackets, as shown in the following figure: Chapter 3.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance 4. Insert two bolts and lock washers, appropriate for your 19-inch rack, into each of the mounting brackets and tighten. Important: When the RFU is rack mounted, it must be mounted directly above the IDU and facing with the connectors forward in the same direction as the front panel of the IDU (as shown). The IDU fan exhaust is used to cool the RFU in a rack mount configuration.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance 2. Wrap band clamp around pole/mast and through the vertical slots near the top of the mounting plate. Repeat for lower slots. 3. Tighten both band clamps sufficiently to prevent the mounting plate from rotating on the pole/mast; you are now ready to mount the RF unit onto the bracket assembly. 4.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Installing and Adjusting the Antenna The installation information discussed in this section is generic. For installation procedures specific to the antenna you are installing, refer to the antenna manufacturer’s documentation. Antenna Installation WARNING (FCC requirement for implementation in the USA): Antennas used for the transmitter must be fix-mounted on outdoor permanent structures with a separation distance of at least 1.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Alignment Guidelines When aligning antennas, if the RFU is located indoors or distant from the antenna location, you may want to run wires or a cable from the RSL test point to the antenna so that the voltmeter reading or audio device is directly visible and audible to the technicians aligning the antenna. Alternatively, you can use coaxial couplers to couple the RSL voltage from an IDU to bring the voltage to the antenna location.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Note: Use the instructions provided by the antenna manufacturer to verify that both antennas are on the same polarization; otherwise, the RSL will be approximately 25 to 30 dB below the calculated level. Because maximizing the receive RF signal level at each end of the radio link is critical, most antennas also require fine alignment using an operating link.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Above -30 dBm RSL, the receiver can produce errors; however this level is rarely exceeded. Refer to Calculating Received Signal Level and Link Budget to calculate the anticipated RSL. During anomalous propagation conditions, the RSL can fade up but does not typically increase by more than 10 dB (except in unusual, very long paths, which may increase by 15 dB).
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Antenna Cabling Guidelines for 5.8 GHz Units ■ Coaxial cables of 7/8-inch or larger diameter can exhibit moding at 5.8 GHz and are never recommended. Also, some small diameter cable types, such as RG-8, will have high loss or poor VSWR at these frequencies. If small diameter cables are required, be certain to keep the lengths of these cables as short as possible. ■ For wave guide transmission line at 5.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance RF transmission line must never be bent, twisted, or deformed in any way. Pay close attention to the transmission line specifications for bend radius when installing. 3. Support the transmission line in a tray on horizontal runs and by hangers on vertical runs. Space hangers according to the manufacturer instructions (typically every five feet under conditions of no ice and not greater than 85 mph winds). 4.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Power Connections The following sections describe the wiring and power connections for the Lynx radios. The Lynx radios do not have a power on/off switch. and is operational immediately. When you connect the DC power, the unit powers up There can be up to 200mW of RF power present at the antenna port.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance To wire the DC power, wire the power cable with an adequate current rating (minimum 18 AWG) into the terminal block using the screw connections on the terminal block. Figure 7 Power Connection for IDU The recommended minimum current rating of external fuses and cables is 5 amps. The Lynx radios consume less than 3.1 Amp ■ + 48V. If using negative power, connect the negative voltage to pin 1.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance CAUTION! Do not connect the DC power plug to the terminal until the RFU is connected to the IDU and the antenna, or appropriate termination. Do not connect the RFU-to-IDU cable while power is applied to the IDU. The IDU can be powered without the RFU connected; however, power should be removed before the RFU is connected and reapplied after the cable is connected and the RFU is properly terminated at the RF port.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance traffic over the link. This helps in getting the system running more rapidly. Assure that both antennas are set for the same polarization (vertical or horizontal at both ends). 2. Connect the transmission line to the antenna and feed it to the Lynx radio location. Connect the opposite end of the transmission line to the N-type female connector located on the RFU through a lightning arrestor.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance attenuation then can be added to the value of the RF power meter reading to obtain the actual transmitter output power. 7. Confirm Received Signal Level (RSL). Connect a voltmeter to the RSL measurement port on the RF Unit. This voltage reading corresponds to the Received Signal Level (RSL) of the near-end radio. RSL is the amount of signal the near-end radio is receiving from the far-end radio.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance 8. Verify the channel plans. Verify that the units follow the same channel plan and that the opposite Tx and Rx frequencies complete a matched pair of radios (for example, A1 and A2 make up a matched pair). 9. Connect the unit to the intended telecommunications equipment to pass the T1 traffic. Connect to the T1 circuits using 8-pin modular (RJ-48C) connectors. be off or green.

Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Transmit Power The maximum level into the receiver is -30 dBm. level. Errors can occur in the receive data stream above this You should reduce transmit output power on very short paths to avoid overload. Equipment/Antenna Location Interference is occasionally caused by the unit or the antenna being too close to another similar transmitter. Moving the unit, the antennas, or the interfering equipment can reduce or eliminate interference.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Troubleshooting Alarms Use these troubleshooting guidelines when you receive: ■ RF Link Alarms ■ Radio Fail Alarms ■ Far End Alarms RF Link Alarm This LED indicates that the demodulator function is not synchronizing with the intended received signal.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance 4. Comparing these RSLs to the Factory Test Data Sheet for the far-end radio and estimating the RSL in dBm. 5. Comparing this RSL to the expected RSL from the link budget calculations. Excessive Loss If RSL from both ends of the radio are approximately the same as each other, but lower than anticipated for this installation, then the likely cause of the BER alarm is excessive losses between the radios.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Possible Radio Failure If all path related and data input problems have been pursued and the BER alarm is still active, the problem could be related to a radio failure. Although radio failure typically is indicated by more severe alarm conditions, it is possible that one of the radios may be out of specification, and this could be the cause of the BER alarm. A back-to-back test verifies proper radio operation. more information.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance Recommended Actions Press and hold the DISPLAY FAR END button and observe the LED status. Follow the troubleshooting instructions provided in “RF Link Alarms” and “Radio Fail Alarms.” Measuring Radio Function You can measure radio function using Back-to-Back Testing and Link Testing, which are described in this section. Back-to-Back Testing Back-to-back testing is an ideal method of testing the Lynx radio.
Lynx.GX and Tsunami Wireless Radio Installation and Maintenance If further troubleshooting is required, you can insert a variable RF attenuator between the radios to fade down the path to determine that the threshold specification is being met. You can run the threshold tests in both directions to isolate the radio problem (if any). See “Link Testing” below for more information. You can use an RF power meter to individually test each radio’s output power.
