RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.5.40 4-10
A detailed field by field description of the contents of the RADWIN Manager main window
may be found in Chapter 6.
The procedure required to make the link functional has three phases:
1. Link Installation - which we will detail below.
Installation actually gets the link operational by setting the link parameters. It uses a fixed
channel at the lowest possible modulation, BPSK at 6.5Mbps and will work under the harsh
interference condition.
2. Link Configuration - described in Chapter 7.
Configuration provides much the same functionality as Installation, but for a running link.
A fallback to Installation mode is provided for situations which cannot be handled without
resetting the link, such as antenna realignment and IDU or ODU replacement.
The Link Installation and Configuration phases are both carried out with Wizards, which
“walk you through” the processes. The Wizards are visually quite similar and will be
described in detail below.
3. Site Configuration - described in Chapter 8.
Site specific configuration for each side of the link is available at any time - under a run-
ning link or under the restricted Installation mode.
Site Configuration consists of a set of panels, which may be invoked individually in any
order, as needed.
Note
The Dynamic Tx Ratio bar only appears for model RADWIN 2000 C
Note
During the installation procedure, the definition of all parameters is
automatically applied to both sides of the link.
Caution
• The ODUs as supplied by RADWIN are set up with a factory default
band. If for some reason the default band needs to be changed, it
should be done before link Installation. The procedure is set out in
Chapter 20.
• Use of an incorrect band may be in violation of local regulations.
Note
An installed and configured link can be returned to installation mode for re-
installation and configuration from last settings or from factory settings.
• Reversion to installation mode requires a complete break in the link
service
• Configuration mode may vary the service throughput and quality, but
without a service break
